I narrowed my eyes. “Yes, why?”
“Do you want to go build a snowman?” he asked, a gleeful look in his eyes.
“Okay, Anna,” I said laughing. “Let’s go build a snowman!”

After Wes and I put on our snow gear, we headed outside to see other people out and enjoying all the snow. At one point Weshad somehow talked the other crazy people who were out playing in the snow to have a snowball fight. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Even when Wes pelted me in the face with a snowball.
Now we were lying on the ground making snow angels as snow continued to fall from the sky. It looked beautiful, and to see the city slow down was another amazing sight. It was quiet and still, which was crazy considering we were right in downtown Boston.
Wes stood, then helped me up. We both looked at our snow angels and declared they were the best ever made.
“My balls are freezing. I say playtime is over. How about a nice hot bath?”
“That sounds amazing,” I agreed as we made our way back into the building. “I had so much fun this morning. And the other people out playing in the snow was such a fun surprise. Oh, and the way you helped that little boy and girl build their snowman was so sweet.”
We both started to remove our gloves, hats and scarves, as we got into the elevator.
“That was fun helping them with that. I enjoyed it.”
Once we were back in our place, we both stripped out of the rest of our snow gear.
“As much as a warm bath with you sounds heavenly, I’m starving!” I said as I made my way to the kitchen.
“If my girl wants food, then food is what she shall get. Since you made breakfast, I’ll make lunch. How does Mediterranean wraps sound?”
“Oh…the ones with the veggies in it with the feta cheese and hummus?” I asked, my stomach growling as I placed my hand over it.
“Yeah,” Wes said with a wink. “Sound good?”
“Yes! Can you add olives to mine?”
He scrunched up his nose. “Gross, but okay. Your appetite has been crazy lately.”
“I know, I don’t know why I’m always so hungry. Maybe it’s all the sex!”
Wes slowly turned around and faced me. He had a zucchini in one hand and an onion in the other. He also had a look of utter shock on his face.
“Why are you looking at me that way?”
He swallowed hard. “You’re eating more.”
“Not that much more!” I said as I followed my arms over my chest. “I’ll have you know my weight hasn’t budged.”
“No, that’s not what I mean, Clare. You’re eating…more. Weird stuff. Like the olives.”
“That is not weird. Olives are very Mediterranean and…”
My voice trailed off when his meaning sank in. “Oh. Ohhhh. I’m eating more.”
He nodded.
“That’s impossible. I’m on the pill.”
“And Reece wore a condom.”
My hand went to my stomach. “I don’t feel different.”
