Reunited After 25 Years 55: A Passionate Interlude

April became May, and Anton's greenhouse was soon bursting with color and fragrance. Andrea loved to move from flower to flower, examining the leaves and blooms and inhaling the aromas as Anton explained what each one was. Some she had never heard of; others her own mother had grown in her garden when Andrea had been a child.

Andrea's own body was undergoing wondrous changes as well; her abdomen became gently rounded and swollen, giving evidence of her condition, and her clothing was becoming too tight, so she had to begin searching for maternity clothes.

"You're certainly welcome to look through what I have," Carol told her. "Although of course I was at my heaviest in the cooler weather, and you're going to be at your heaviest in warmer weather, so you may not find that much that you can use."

"Those jeans look perfect!" Andrea exclaimed. She held four-month-old Ryan while his mother held up the maternity clothing piece by piece for Andrea to examine. She talked baby talk to him, and he cooed back at her and made raspberries. "You are just so adorable!" she told him.

"What are you planning to tell him about his father when he gets old enough to ask?" she asked Carol.

"Donna and I are planning to tell him that some families have a mother and a father, and some have two mothers or two fathers, and that either way is just fine."

"But are you going to tell him that his Uncle Craig is his biological father?"

"Of course, when he's old enough to understand."

Andrea found three pairs of maternity jeans, two shirts, and a really cute sailor dress that she liked. "I really appreciate this," she told Carol.

"No problem at all," Carol replied. "I'm glad I could help."

Andrea was cuddling on the sofa with Anton watching TV when she felt it for the first time. A slight, ever so gentle ripple across her belly, making her think of the flutter of a baby bird's wing. A thrill of excitement went through her.

"Anton, our baby! She just moved!" she exclaimed.

"So you can feel the baby move now?" Anton grinned and lightly ran his hand over Andrea's abdomen. They waited a few seconds, and then the slight flutter came again. "Our baby is alive!" Anton exclaimed. "Oh, Andrea, I love you so much!"

He picked her up and carried her into the bedroom, where he gently laid her on the bed, then lay beside her and began to kiss her. Eagerly she responded as her fingers ran through his hair and her body arched up to meet his. Through both their clothing she could feel him becoming harder, until suddenly she deftly slipped her fingers underneath the elastic of his pajama bottoms and underpants and tugged them both down.

She caressed the smooth skin of his balls as she took him into her mouth and began to suckle him. He immediately grew harder under her ministrations. "Oh, Andrea," he moaned, gently running his fingers through her hair. Slowly she used the flat surface of her tongue to enthusiastically lick every inch of his skin, and then she used the tip of her tongue to trace his most sensitive area. Then she took each ball into her mouth to gently suckle them in turn.

"Andrea, you are driving me crazy!" She was greatly pleased to hear the slight tremor in his voice.

She gave his privates one final loving caress before lying back in anticipation. He didn't keep her waiting for long. Gently he lifted her nightgown up and over her head, then began to place soft kisses along her collarbone while his fingers playfully tweaked her erect nipples. From there he moved to gently tease them with his tongue, and then he lightly kissed all the way down to her belly button and below.

She was quivering and making soft pleading noises in her throat by the time he gently tugged her panties down, parted her legs, and immediately got busy with his lips and tongue. She was over the edge in almost no time.

He moved to kiss her lips and stroke her hair while he gently and slowly entered her. Dr. Keller had told them that intercourse was fine up until the eight month as long as it wasn't too vigorous. He began to make slow, shallow thrusts, gradually speeding up just a little bit, until he brought her over the edge once again, crying out himself a split second behind her.

Later they lay wrapped in one another's arms, talking softly.

"That was one of the best times we've ever had!" Andrea exclaimed.

"You are a very passionate woman, Andrea. It is one of many things I love about you."

She told him about the conversation she'd had with Carol. "I think it was very generous of Craig to offer to father Carol's baby," she said. "But if I were him, I think it would be hard for me to pretend to be Ryan's uncle when I was really his father."

"I agree with you on that one, Andrea. I am not sure I would be able to do that either."

Andrea went for her five-month check-up at Dr. Keller's a couple of weeks later. She told Dr. Keller about having felt the baby's movements, and the physician smiled and said that that was good.

"In fact, everything seems to be going amazingly well, except for one thing," the doctor told her. "Your blood pressure is just a tad high. We're going to have to keep a closer watch on it, but other than that, everything seems to be fine."
