I had never felt anything as intense as this instant. Was it real? Would it be there tomorrow? I was afraid to think that far ahead. We slept in on Ne... Year’s Day. The station would be closed the entire day and all four of us were grateful for another break. I awoke with a morning woody and thoughts of Shelly on my mind. She had filled my dreams again, dancing in and out of them, leaving me in confusion. How did I feel about her? Did she feel anything for me? I thought she did, but I couldn’t. " Mine too, Jack. We've got a motel room again, in case you hadn't noticed." I couldn't miss the connecting door, Gloria." Well Jack, my side won't be locked tonight."It was at that point that we pulled into Giovanni's and Jack had to look for a parking slot. The lot was nearly full, so it took a bit to get parked. Jack didn't comment on my last statement.We entered the Pizzeria and stepped into a sea of noise. Giovanni's was still a popular place and the new, much larger restaurant was full to. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. “We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods”. The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said “I sure wish I’d gotten to know you sooner!”A pretty young woman, visiting her new doctor for the first time, found herself alone in a small waiting room. She began undressing. She gave out quite a giggle as I opened the door and got us both inside with a double bed in the middle of the room!I let her down very gently on the bed and asked her, “Annie, are you on any birth control?”She broke into silent tears and with a crack in her voice, and she answered, “I-I haven’t taken one in over a week. Now that I know how much you care about me I strongly believe that it is our destiny to be together and that includes having a whole bunch of kids!I reached down and started to.
