“That was wonderful.” Francesca hummed quietly in agreement, a soft smile on her face as her spouse rolled off the top of her to instead lay besides her, the pair now facing each other. She took a shaky breath and her expression softened into what was almost a pout as she stared into bright eyes. “Do you think it peculiar I am not yet with child?” “No, my darling. We have only recently become reacquainted.” Francesca frowned a little at the response. “Do you think I should be doing anything?” Once again, all Francesca received was a shaking head, gentle smile, and a quiet “no.” But she looked up when her spouse added, “I did hear that ladies are more likely to be with child if they reach their pinnacle. You are reaching your pinnacle, are you not?” Francesca’s eyes widened a little before she hasted to nod slightly. “yes. … yes, of course”, she smiled and then bit her lip, a lie. She wasn’t exactly sure what a pinnacle was.
