neck snapped back so fast he experienced the jerk it gave him right down to his toes. For someone not feeling up to par, she packed a mean punch. And I deserved it.
    “Shit, love.” Jeff wriggled his chin, to reassure himself it didn’t crunch or send him screaming. “That so didn’t come out as I meant it to. It’s if you are pregnant, well I want to be part of it all. After all I was in on the beginning, I want to be there in the middle and at the end.” No not the end, don’t say that. “From you throwing up to him or her doing the same.”
    And spend the next years remembering Alaria and that coffin.
    “I can’t lose you as well.”

    Kath licked her sore hand and debated whether it was worth hurting the other one on his balls. It was purely the stricken look on his face, and his last few words that stopped her from doing her best to emasculate Jeff and walk out. She didn’t think she’d ever seen such a scared and lost look on anyone’s face before.
    “Why would you lose me? Unless you spout crap like you just did? I think you need to talk and talk fast.” Her hand went to her neck and she rubbed her finger over her leather choker with its silver heart-shaped padlock. “You’ve never mentioned a sister.” She didn’t tell him that Jess had many years ago. He hadn’t. “I thought this was love and commitment. Not oh shit, accuse and don’t listen. I thought as my Dom you loved and cherished and protected and taught and helped and… Oh fuck it, Jeff. Yes, okay, I think I’m pregnant, but I was waiting for you to come home so I could do the peeing on the stick. Then we could celebrate or commiserate together. Though, in my mind, it’s celebrations if I am and commiserations if I’m not. You? Well, who on earth knows?”
    He dipped his head for a second, shuddered then drew himself up to his full height. For a brief second she was treated to the misery and something indefinable that flickered in his eyes, and he blinked.
    “I had a younger sister. Mum was ill all through the pregnancy. When she was born, she should have been a twin. Oh, I was too young to know all the ins and outs, but Alaria died at three months. Unexplained death, and then on top of that, Dad told us years later, Mum had been ill all the time when she was pregnant with Jess and me. So I saw the bowl, saw how awful you looked and by God did I freak. I couldn’t bear anything to happen to you, love.”
    He swallowed hard and gripped his fingers in his palms so tightly, his knuckles showed white. Kath bet he’d have crescent shaped scars on them. She pried open his hands. “Sir, I do need to pee, and I’ve been holding off.” Kath used the title on purpose.
    He laughed and straightened. “You do that and I’ll be buying you cranberry juice again. Let’s find out then if we’re going to hear the patter of tiny feet.”
    She giggled. “Or the rattle of tiny handcuffs?”
    “Not a chance, pet, go pee. And if you are pregnant, we need to rethink our playtimes.”
    Kath wasn’t sure she liked the sound of that. Oh she wouldn’t do anything ever to harm their baby, but something in Jeff’s tone hinted at more than merely no kink. However, until she’d done the test, and been to the doctor’s if necessary, there was no point in speculating.
    “I’m going, but I’ll bring the thingy out here for us both to look, eh?”
    He patted her bum in a friendly non-sexual way— damn it, I just want to jump him, well, if I wasn’t desperate for a pee —and nodded.
    “I’ll have a quick shower, first then I’ll be waiting,” Jeff said. “Do you want a drink of water or anything?”
    “Argh, nooo, don’t mention liquid.” She dashed to the loo with his laughter in her ears.

    “Well then.” Kath held the stick exactly as the instruction leaflet directed. By the un-peed on end and downward. “It says three minutes and there’ll be a line or a cross in the wee indicator box. I
