The Cowboy and the Mermaid

Dwight and Lorelei relax in their new bedroom chatting about how to fix up the nursery and what else they need to buy. As they get drowsy they snuggle under the covers and fall asleep holding hands.

After she makes the bed and gets dressed she realizes her belly is really starting to stretch. She can feel the little one kicking inside of her.

She hurries down to let Dwight feel the baby kicking and Dwight is astonished at the strength of the kick. "Maybe he or she will be a place kicker?" He tells the baby how much love they have to share and he listens to see if the baby chats back. Dwight holds her in his arms. "I love you so very much." They embrace and Dwight can feel the baby inside her as he holds her so close to him. "I don't think I want to let you go. This is such an awesome sensation." The baby quietens down perhaps to sleep and Dwight reluctantly lets her go.

They enjoy the baked angel food cake for breakfast that they got from the bistro when the server spilled their entree's.

Lorelei puts the finishing touches on her manuscript for her book on the underwater memorial. She types "The End" and pulls the last page out of the typewriter. She is thrilled to have the book finished and her publisher will be happy as well, since they did give her an advance on the book. She looks forward to getting a printed copy in the mail and will order a stack of books to sell at the museum.

Dwight is working on their investment portfolio. Moving funds, selling stock, buying some property. He has decided after the baby is born he wants to work for himself. He had considered going to the police department, but, decided he would prefer being his own boss. He enjoyed working with Lorelei to solve the mystery of the underwater area. He decides to open a detective agency. He is sure others in Sunlit Tides have mysteries that need solving.

Lorelei and Dwight try out one of their new purchases. Lorelei is not thrilled about it because of the issues she has with technology, but agrees to try it. I think she liked it!
