Chapter 24: Aftercare
I sat up against the pillows with my nightgown pushed to my ribs, thirty-eight weeks and enormous.
I told my husband to come and look at what he had done.
We had been married for three Saturdays in the church on Ditmars.
That night the windows were open, and the June air came in warm off the river.
The lamp was low.
Alex knelt at the foot of the bed with his hands on my ankles.
"You told me to look," he said.
"Take your time," I said.
"I'm looking," he said.
He crawled up the mattress on his hands and knees.
He stopped over my belly and lowered his face to it.
He did not kiss it right away.
He breathed in against my skin, long and slow, and I felt his lips part.
"Everything is so tight here," he said.
"The skin's so thin I can feel her heartbeat on my mouth."
"Don't make me cry," I said.
"I'm not making you do anything," he said.
He kissed the top of the curve, and the sides, and the long dark line down the middle.
He kissed the hard small knob of a heel that pushed out under his lips.
He laughed, delighted.
"She kicked me," he said.
"She's saying hello," I said.
"She's saying I'm late."
I laughed too and shifted the pillows.
His mouth moved up.
He took the hem of my nightgown in both hands and drew it over my head.
I lay naked in the lamplight with the fan turning slowly over us.
My breasts were enormous.
I knew it, and I was proud of it.
The nipples were dark and wide, and a bead of something pale stood at the tip of one.
Alex saw it and stopped.
"It's started," I said.
"Yesterday.
"It's nothing.
"It's a little.
"It's what she'll drink."
He did not move for a moment.
Then he lowered his head and took the nipple gently into his mouth.
I gasped.
He drew on me, a long soft pull, and I felt it go through my chest and down between my legs in one line.
He lifted his head.
A tiny pale bead of it shone on his tongue, and his eyes closed.
"Sweet," he said, hoarse.
"Save some for her."
"I'm only borrowing."
