      AN OUTSIDER SERIES SHORT (JED & DIANA)

      Jed & Diana

      Runaway to The Unexpected Storm bridge short story

      Diana and Jed are expecting a baby, a week ago. And when this overtired couple finally reach their breaking point, it’s Jed’s mother, Becky, who steps in with a creative solution.

      Chapter 1

      Jed, I’m stuck! Diana shouted from the bathtub, where the water was beginning to cool. For the life of her, she had no hope of standing gracefully and climbing out. Being pregnant had its challenges, but she was a week overdue and so large that every part of her ached and she could no longer do the simple things she took for granted; like putting on her shoes, bending over, or getting out of the bathtub without help.

      What are you doing? Jed laughed from the doorway, putting his large hand on the door frame and leaning in, looking as sexy as ever in a pair of worn jeans and a plaid blue shirt.

      At least he didn’t have to worry about his body getting all stretched to hell, being tired and cranky, and having to pee every five minutes. I can’t get out. Please help me. She gave him a pathetic doe-eyed look, pouting her lower lip.

      Jed’s expression turned to one of sympathy as he strode toward her and leaned down, lifting her from the bathtub. He put her down, taking his time, running his hands over her very rounded belly.

      Ouch. She pressed her hand to her ribs.

      What’s wrong? he asked, leaning over and draining the bathtub.

      The baby pressed his foot in my ribs, she said, struggling for breath. Even breathing now took great effort, as the baby was shoving all her insides up, crammed under her lungs.

      Jed reached for the towel and started drying Diana; taking care and lingering over her large, very sensitive breasts. He leaned down and touched his lips to hers.

      Jed, I feel about as sexy as a beached whale. Look at me—I’m not even attractive anymore, and you haven’t tried to touch me in… She could feel the tears about to start again. She couldn’t help it. Lately, everything made her cry. I couldn’t even get out of the bathtub, she said, sobbing.

      Jed hung the towel up and slid her bathrobe around her; dressing her as if she were a child and not his wife. "It’s okay, Diana. You may not believe this, but carrying my child…you’ve never
