toasted.
    “Cheers.” Alex took a long swig from the bottle before placing it onto the work top. “Can I ask you something?”
    “Of course you can, what’s up?”
    Alex walked over and closed the kitchen door quietly before clearing his throat and turning back to face me, “has it changed anything between the two of you, you know, Jo being pregnant?”
    “Is Casey pregnant?” I asked a little too loudly.
    “Shhhh ….” Alex stepped closer to me, “no, no she’s not, but she wants to be. I mean, we want to be. I’ll be honest Blake, we have been trying since the wedding and nothing has happened except for the fact that Casey is now more obsessed with having sex just to get pregnant than to be intimate together. I feel like I’m going to lose her if it doesn’t happen real soon you know?”
    “Oh Alex, I had no idea.” I had known that they had had some sort of problems but I didn’t imagine it would be this. “Look, you’ve only been married what, three months? It’ll happen for you both I’m sure of it.”
    Alex began rubbing the back of his neck frantically, “It’s taking over her life, both of our lives in fact. You know Casey, Blake, she’s happy, loud … beautiful,” he added, “but I am petrified that if it doesn’t happen soon, it’s going to ruin us, and then I worry that if it does happen, I won’t get the old Casey back, the girl who I fell so hard in love with. She is even talking about us going to see a doctor, someone who can check that we’re both okay to get pregnant. What if I do that Blake and I can’t give her what she wants, she will leave me, our marriage will be over before we have even started it.”
    “Casey would never leave you Alex, she loves you more than life itself, look at what happened in the summer, would she have done that to herself if she thought she would be better off without you?”
    “I don’t know anymore,” Alex replied sounding deflated.
    “It will happen for you, I promise. Maybe being here will help take your minds off it for a little while, I’m pretty sure that obsessing over it won’t help.”
    Alex let out a sad laugh before looking back up at me, “when the hell did we turn into a couple of sentimental old women?”
    “I have no idea but I think we need more beer.”
    “I’ll drink to that.” Alex lifted his bottle, “to growing old,” he said, “and giving our beautiful ladies everything that their hearts desire.”
    I touched my bottle to his just as the door swung open and Casey stepped inside.
    “Oh, sorry,” she stuttered. “Am I interrupting something?”
    “Not at all,” I replied. “I’m just trying to convince Alex here that you two should buy a house over here, the country air does wonders for the body.” I lied, and it was evident that Casey knew exactly what we had been talking about. Her gaze floated away from me and focused on the bottle of beer that Alex was holding.
    “Are you having just the one?” She smiled back at me nervously before looking back to Alex. “Only Jo said that we’re going to a carol concert shortly and I volunteered you to drive one of the hire cars so that the others could have a drink.”
    “Just the one,” Alex replied. “I promise.”
    Casey smiled at us both before heading back out of the kitchen. I heard Alex breath out the breath that he had been holding.
    “Did I forget to mention that she also has me on a booze ban?” He shook his head slowly, “slows down the sperm apparently.”
    I walked over and patted Alex on the shoulder, “It will happen for you both Alex, I swear it will. And when it does, all of the worry and stress you are feeling now will evaporate. Trust me.”
    “I’m sorry I’ve put a downer on the day dude, Christmas Eve should be a happy day.”
    “You haven’t put a downer on anything,” I re-assured him. “I’m your best dude as you call me, and I am always here for you and I mean that.”
    “Thanks, dude ,” he smiled.
