HIATUS

"How are you today madam? I hope you are doing well today" asked a man with a British accent named Bernard, the head butler of the Carter family. He is a 60 years old man, with a dark skin tone, and with hair that is slowly turning white due to age.

Even with age he still looks extremely healthy. You can see it with the firm outline of his muscle beneath his butler clothes.

"Good Morning Bern, I'm feeling fine today thank you for asking" replied Eleanor with a smiling face, as she sits on the garden patio enjoying the gentle rays of the sun and the morning breeze of dawn. "I see you are in a good mood, today madam. I believe it is because of sir Jack keeping his promise to you" tease Bernard. "Yeah, good mood indeed…good mood indeed" replied Eleanor.

"There you are. Seriously the doctor said you need bed rest…BED REST" said Jack as he went to Eleanor with a quick pace emphasizing the last part of his sentence. Bernard immediately leaves them alone to let the couple have their private time.

"I'm tired of staying in my room all day, I just wanted to be in the garden feeling the rays of the sun, enjoy the breeze, and looking at the trees. Plus I really want this baby to come out now" said Eleanor as she caresses her belly.

"Sigh...fine. But you will return back to your room within an hour. I won't take no for an answer" said Jack resolutely. "Fine" replied Eleanor as she sticks her tongue out towards her husband playfully.

Jack sat beside his wife as he called a maid to have a coffee made for him. "Look, I know you're growing tired of staying in the mansion but you need to rest," Jack said. "Enough about that, besides I'm resting all the time. I'm just bored, nothing to do" Eleanor said.

The husband and wife sat in comfortable silence shortly after, one enjoying his coffee and the other enjoying listening to the noise of the garden.

Bernard returned to the patio, with a wheelchair just in case if the madam would need it. He was also excited about the coming son of sir Jack.

He never had a family of his own, to him the Carter family is his family and for the Carter family he was part of the family.

The 3 of them just enjoyed the gentle rays of the sun in the morning.

2 weeks later

"I am miserable here. Why are you late, please I want this to be over with" said Eleanor as she looks at her belly.

"I got some spicy food here. My mom said before she had me she ate a lot of spicy foods. It's better to try at this point," said Jack looking at his wife.

"Well, I'm sorry that I am inconveniencing you with this pregnancy. Maybe next time you have the baby!!" said Eleanor with an annoyed expression.

"Ok, Ok. Just eat," said Jack.

Jack looks at his wife as she is devouring all things spicy at the table. 'I really hope this works, I love my wife I really do, but this last week has been unbearable to handle', thought Jack.

After one hour of eating, Eleanor looks at his husband with a frustrated expression on her face. "It's not working," she said.

"…You..know, I was talking to one of the maids, and she said there was a myth that sex can induce labor", she said with a straight-face.

"Huh, I am not making love to you, just so we can induce labor," said Jack.

"Make love, what are you a girl," said Eleanor mockingly.

".....Always a great way to get into someone's pants", said Jack.

"You started this, I want you to end it. Just think of me as a ketchup bottle, you have to bang the end of it just to get something to come out," said Eleanor.

A strange silence surrounds the room.

"I love when you talk dirty to me," said Jack sarcastically.

"I know it, Your right that's not sexy," said Eleanor. She picks up a fork and throws it in the ground. "Oh no, I'm so clumsy, let me just pick it up," said Eleanor. She tried to be sexy by showing her ass to her husband but fails miserably because she can't reach the fork on the floor due to her pregnancy.

Watching this Jack just sighed.

"Ahhh..come on wuss. Make love to me," said Eleanor. Jack gave no reply. "Wuss, wuss, pussy, wuss, pussy…." Jack who couldn't handle it anymore just gave up and gave Eleanor a kiss with the intention to go all out and have sex. But after giving her a kiss, her water broke. "Wow, I am good at this," said Jack.

"Finally, let's go to the hospital", said Eleanor.

"Ok, ok. Let's go," said Jack. Jack grabs Eleanor's hand and looks into her eyes and said: "We're going to have a baby".

"Indeed we are," said Eleanor with love in her voice.

At the hospital:

A scream of a woman can be heard as a doctor and 2 nurses assist in the delivery of a baby. Accompanying the woman was her husband, holding her hand as she is in labor. "Jack, I can't give you another child. This is the only one you're going to have. I can't ahhhhhhhh," screams Eleanor. The woman continues screaming due to the pain but also insulting her husband about how painful the labor is. The man can't do anything but continue holding the hand of the woman. The man would continue telling her that it's going to be over soon.

"hmm. What's going on? Ohhh. I see. It's time now huh. Well, bring it world. To a new life and new adventure" thought the baby. Fully accepting the impossibility of the scenario that he has been placed into.

"Ok, well done. Good job Mrs. Carter, it's a healthy baby," said the doctor as he handed the baby one of the nurses to be clean.

"Okay, sweety it's done," said Jack. As he comforts his wife. "Can I see him?" ask a tired Eleanor.

"Hello there child," said Eleanor as the nurse handed him the baby. "A healthy baby boy, our baby boy," said Jack. "Welcome to the world, Ethan Carter," said Eleanor with so much love in her tired voice.

I was born on January 5, 1970.
