"Thressa was such a beautiful bride" Bina sighed happily as the kids snuggled around her and Rob.
"Yes she was" he smiled and kissed the top of Justice's head. "You kids almost ready for bed?"
"Momma" Bryan looked up at her with his big blue eyes and long eye lashes.
"Yes baby?"
"Can you read us a story?"
"Sure, I'll go get your cups and you hop in bed. I'll be in there in a few moments."
"Ok. Goodnight Rob"
"'Night Rob!"
"Night kiddos!"
"I do believe I'm more whopped than they are" she chuckled.
"I bet."

The alarm went off at six am, Bina groaned and threw the covers back. She made the kids breakfast, helped them find their lost shoes and coats, put their backpacks on, and head out the door. She waved as each of them got on the bus and was suddenly felt the urge to cry. She shook her head and closed the door to the brisk morning. Slowly she crawled back into bed with Rob.
"Mmm, good morning love."
"Morning baby" she yawned.
"I had an amazing dream..."
"Yeah? About what?"
"You, me, the kids, all of our friends and family... We were in England, you were wearing a wedding dress...."
"Don't push your luck" she said, trying not to smile.
"I know" he playfully stuck his tongue out. "Seriously though, when do you want to get married?"
"I'm not sure yet... We'll give it some time to think and plan."
"Ok.... You hungry?"
"Not really, I think I'm getting sick. I kind of feel like I'm gonna throw up."
"Awe, poor love. You need me to pamper you?"
"Yeah, ok" she laughed.
"Chicken noodle soup?"
Yuck! That stuff is nasty!"
"Fine then" he grinned. "I'll let you rest but I'll be sure to check on you shortly." He leaned over and kissed her forehead. Her face looked a little pale but didn't feel like she had a fever. He got up and went to the living room to make a few calls to his agent.
Around noon Robert had checked on Bina who was still sleeping, he sat on the edge of the bed with a bowl of cereal and a glass of water.
"Bina... I got you some food, you need something to eat."
"Ugh" she rolled over, pulling the covers over her head. "Leave the water, I'm not hungry though."
"I gotta talk to you."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing babe" Bina sat up slowly. "I called my agent today and he thinks I should come back for a little while and work on this new movie."
"Ahhh."
"If you want me to stay, I will."
"No, no. This is your job. It'll be hard and I'll miss you but you'll come back."
"Yes."
"When do you have to leave?"
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?! That's a little short notice!"
"I know love, I wish I had more time. I'll tell the kids myself, I know they won't react as well as you did."
"Yeah..." Bina groaned. "Can I lay back down?"
"Can I lay with you?"
"Yes, I would love that."
"Can I make love to you?"
"Yes."
****
"I'll be back as soon as possible, ok?" Robert stood up and headed for the door. Justice had cried the night before, Bryan just nodded. "I don't want to leave you, it's my job. I promise I will come back."
"I'll miss you" Justice said through tears.
"I'll miss you too princess." Rob ruffled Bryan's hair. "You take care of the girls for me while I'm gone?"
"Sure..."
"I love you guys."
"We love you too." Bina said, trying not to be sad.
Rob leaned in and kissed Sabrina slowly while she wrapped her arms around his neck. His hands moved to her hips and gripped her, leaving was harder than he thought.
"Ok guys, bus is here. Love you's have a good day at school!"
"Bye mom!" the kids said at the same time.
"I'm gonna miss you love."
"I'll miss you more." She nuzzled her face into his neck. "Call me as soon as you can."
"I will, and as often."

Rob had been gone a week and Bina was still sick. She considered going to the doctors but with Rob gone she had little to no down time. She forgot how hectic life was before him. He called her every day, sometimes in the middle of the night but it didn't matter. She missed him so bad but he sounded happy, minus the pain of missing them. She called Thressa over today while the kids were in the school, she wanted to talk wedding and just have some girl time.
"Hey honey!" Thressa said as she walked in.
"Hey" she laughed. "How are you?"
"Eh, my back hurts. Aunt flows in town."
And suddenly, Bina realized she hadn't had a period in a while. In fact she couldn't remember when the last one she had was. Shock rang through her body.
"You ok?"
"I can't remember the last time Aunt flow visited me...."
"Oh..." Thressa looked at her.
"You want to go to the store with me?"
"Yea, let's go."
When they got back with three pregnancy test, Bina couldn't think straight. She had to pee but she was scared. She just sat in the living room until Thressa pushed the box into her hands.
"Go, you need to see what it says."
"I know, I'm going."
She went into the bathroom, peed on the stick, finished, then ran out of the bathroom. She anxiously walked around the hall for five minutes.
"You ready?"
"No..."
"Want me to check?"
"No, I'll go." She walked into the bathroom and picked up the test. "Ohmigosh"
"Bina?"
"Yes"
"Yes what?"
"YES!"
"You're pregnant?"
"Yes"
"Are you ok?"
"No...." she sat down on the toliet. She wished that Robert was here and that he needed to know. Telling him over the phone didn't seem proper though but she couldn't just pick up and leave to LA or where ever he was filming.
"Take a deep breath. Call Rob."
"I can't tell him on the phone."
"Fine, let's skype."
Bina whined and texted Robert to let her know when they could. Oddly enough he wasn't busy at that very moment and it was set up in moments.
"Hey love, it's good to see you." Bina said nothing. "You ok?"
"I have something to tell you and it may be a shock..." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "I'm pregnant."
"What?!"
"I know...." she slowly opened her eyes to see Robert smiling.
"That's great baby! Oh wow, I wish I could hug and kiss you right now. Make an appointment and let me know, I want to be there. I love you!"
"I love you too... You're not up set?"
"No! I'm excited. Love, I have to go.... They are calling for me. I love you and I'll call you tonight. Keep your chin up till I come home. Miss you baby!"
