She watched his face. "I'll tell you if you push too hard, but pushing isn't going to hurt Bean." She moved his hand back to her belly and sat up, the blanket falling into her lap, she took advantage of him freezing to kiss his neck. "I've missed you Brody." She whispered in his ear. "I don't like to fight."

Brody stared as the blanket fell, and his hand was moved without his help back to her stomach. As she kissed his neck, he shivered. Goosebumps prickled their way up his spine, and his body betrayed him completely.
Trying to regain some kind of control, he shook his head slowly. "Me either. Liesl I..." Much as he tried to, he couldn't form the words he needed to say. I should go.

Liesl frowned as he remained completely still, she'd been under the impression that he wanted to see her, but obviously he didn't. She let go of his hand, put it in his lap, got out of bed and started to pick up her clothes. She pulled the t-shirt on and then her boy shorts and then decided she didn't need anything more than that, he could relax, she was fully dressed again. "Do you really love me?" She asked, returning to her bed and sitting down on his lap, her arms wrapping around his neck. "Don't lie either."

Brody wondered how on earth he could feel such two different emotions at the same time. As she dressed his stomach twisted, but he felt relief simultaneously. "What...what are you doing?"
As she sat on his lap, he searched for the words he wanted. "I do. And it's not a lie. But.. haven't you ever needed to do something, just to see what happens?" Wrapping his arms around her waist, he leaned his forehead against her shoulder. "I owe it to me, to Kylie and to you to see where this goes. You don't want me to commit to you, only to have me think every now and again about Kylie and what could have been. Do you?"

Liesl refrained from snapping at him, it was obvious what she was doing, getting dressed, but he'd asked her to be patient with him and though she couldn't promise that in the future she could do him this favor this time. She shook her head at his first question, she had never been in that situation, not as far as she could tell. "I suppose I understand that, I wouldn't want you day dreaming about Kylie while you're doing me." She grinned and then it went away quickly. "What if you find yourself committing to her? Then you'll be wondering the same about me and about how much happier Bean might have been if his or her parents were together." She stopped herself. "I don't want to fight and this conversation feels like it might grow into some sort of confrontation and I just don't have the emotional stamina to deal with it now." She rested her head on his gently and held her tongue. She wanted to tell him to go home or to leave, but she was just simply enjoying the feel of him beneath her and his arm around her waist to send him off.

Brody listened as she talked, keeping his head on her shoulder. He was about to answer her when she told him she didn't want to fight. He attempted to send a message to his body that Liesl was now dressed, but it didn't seem to be getting through. As she leaned her head on his, it only got worse.
He sighed, and lay down on her bed, pulling her with him. It was odd he thought, that he'd never seen her old room and here she was four months pregnant with his child. Stroking her hair, he closed his eyes. He understood what she'd been talking about when she said she was tired. Suddenly he felt exhausted.

Liesl curled into Brody's body as he pulled her down into her bed. She pushed her arms around him and pressed her cheek against his chest. She wanted to say something to him, but words escaped her and she simply lay there beside him, no longer wanting him to leave.

Brody opened his eyes briefly as she moved next to him. Closing them again, he let his hand rest on her belly. Moving his other hand to her head, he ran his fingers lazily through her hair.
Yawning quietly, he rested his head on her pillow, all sense leaving him as he fell asleep.

Liesl was tired but she couldn't close her eyes. She was too busy admiring him, wishing with everything in her heart that this blond haired, blue eyed cutie would be hers, that she wouldn't have to use guerilla tactics to get him to lay in bed with her and hold her and their baby. It amazed her that he looked perfectly content laying there with her in her bed.
She traced her eyes over every detail of his face, cautiously ran her fingers over his skin, slipping her hand gently into his shirt to feel the firmness of his stomach and wished that at the end of his nap, she'd have a perfect mental picture of him. She was blown away that he'd unintentionally exposed his true feelings for her and as time went on she too drifted to sleep, imagining that he'd wake up and realize that Kylie wasn't worth all this time wasted.

Brody awoke with a start, feeling the warmth of Liesl's hand on his chest. Confused, he looked around him, blinking the sleep out of his eyes. Oh shit. Did I fall asleep here? Crap.
He looked down at Liesl and couldn't help but smile at her sleeping face. Stroking her cheek gently, he whispered as close to her ear as he could reach. "Wake up sleeping beauty. It's late and I gotta get home."
Despite his fears about falling asleep here, he didn't move his body. His hand was still resting on her stomach and he was too warm and comfortable to feel an urgent need.

Liesl opened her eyes slowly as he whispered in her ear, she lifted her head and then set it back down, removing her hand from the inside of his shirt, but not getting up or moving away from him. She smiled up at him and then closed her eyes, she wasn't ready for him to leave yet, she wanted to be with him a little longer. "Don't leave."

Brody smiled gently, as she closed her eyes once more. "Ok. I guess I can stay a little longer." He began running his fingers through her hair once more, wondering how on earth he was going to explain falling asleep at Liesl's. Sighing softly, he shook his head. I'll figure it out later. It's not like I'm doing anything wrong here...right? All I did was sleep.
Unable to convince himself completely, he attempted to banish Kylie from his thoughts which had the opposite of the desired effect. The more he tried not to think of her, the more her sad green eyes haunted him.

Liesls eyes opened as he sighed. "What's wrong Brody?" She asked running her hand down his face and then curling it gently into her body so she wouldn't be tempted to touch him anywhere else and make him leave. "Do you want to leave me?" She asked a little sad at the thought. "Aren't you comfortable?"

Brody shook his head slowly, and closed his eyes again at her touch. "No I don't want to leave. And yes I'm comfortable. But those aren't the only things I need to worry about. I have to get home so I can get up in time for work tomorrow. Plus, I'm not sure Kylie would be impressed if I told her I spent the night with you. Even if we didn't do anything."
Opening his eyes once more, he stared at the ceiling, trying very hard to muster up the energy to at least sit up, instead of remaining on the bed where he could feel Liesl's heartbeat and the heat passing between the two of them.

Liesl frowned, this wasn't the news she wanted to hear first thing waking up. "I hate her." She groaned, Sitting up, feeling dizzy. "I'm trying to behave myself keep my hands off of you." She ran a hand over her belly. "And I get you for a second and it all turns to what will make Kylie happy." She pouted. "What makes you happy Brody?" She waved her hand to tell him not to answer and got out of bed. "I'm trying my hardest here so please don't yell at me, just go if you have to."
