Your Nation Thanks You

I nodded a little. "You haven't seen it yet?" I asked, standing to go look around.

---

He smiled a little. "Good."

She smiled,"I feel fortunate it's you and not some guy who thinks he owns me," she murmured softly.

---

He shook his head,"Not yet," he told her,"I wanted to wait for you,"

I smiled a little and stood, reaching for his hand. "Come on, lets go look."

---

He shook his head. "Don't ever think that, you're my equal. We are in this together."

She nodded a little and smiled,"A team player, sounds good to me," she said to him lightly as she sighed,"So uh, I'm gonna shower then change into my pajamas," she murmured softly then her eyes went wide. "Oh no," she said, "I forgot them," she made a pout with her lips as she put her dish in the sink.

---

He nodded and laced his fingers with hers and led her up the stairs to check out the other rooms.

I felt his hand trembling in mine, and I squeezed it reassuringly. "Calm down, I'm just me." I said as we walked upstairs.

---

He nodded a little and laughed. "Alright sounds good. Ill change too."

"You're beautiful, smart, and can talk down a nervous 18 year old boy who has never talked to a girl for longer than two minutes - you're something else," he told her.

---

She smiled as she walked up the stairs and to their room where their bags were,"Whoa," she murmured at how big the room was.

I laughed a little, shaking my head. "Well get comfortable with me quickly, because I'm also your wife." I said with a smile, walking into our bedroom.
I walked around the room, looking into the closet and bathroom. "Its a big house."

---

He looked around. "They set us up in a better than normal house because our scores were so high."

She nodded a little,"Well we'll probably end up with multiples," she murmured softly.

---

He smiled a little as he looked around,"It's nice," he muyrmured.

He nodded. "You're right. The extra rooms are over here," He said, leading her to the nursery.

---

I nodded a little as I looked at the bed. It terrified me. To think that I no longer had a bed of my own, and within a month was expected to be pregnant, it scared me. Suddenly my nerves returned, and I needed to walk away from it. Maybe I could sleep on the couch instead.

She nodded a little and followed him to the nurseries, "wow, so many,"

---

He looked at her for a moment noticing how tense she looked,"Don't," he said to her,"It won't solve your problems, talk to me instead,"

I stared at him and then returned to looking at the bed. "I have to be pregnant in a month. And I just met you less than seven hours ago." I told him, staring at it nervously. "Not that I don't like you, its just a lot to take in."

---

He nodded. "They're expecting a lot from us," He said with a sigh, looking around. It annoyed him, what if he didn't want to have more than two children? But he didn't get a choice.

"I know, and I have to do the same thing. I have to actually get you pregnant," he said to her lightly.

---

She looked around,"I think I'd have a large family even if it wasnt required," she murmured.

I sighed a little. "It's just something that I'm not really excited about. I'm scared."

---

He sighed. "Well, you'll get one. We're making our country proud."

"Are we really though, they've been doing this for... a hundred years your'e telling me we still have the resources to do this, almost five kids per family and everyone gets married," she said to him softly, "I think the world is a lot more populated than we think," she murmured.

---

"I know," he said to her,"I am too," he told her softly/

I nodded a little, reaching for his hand again. "We'll be fine. We have to be." I murmured, squeezing his hand and pulling him to the other rooms.

---

He ..eaned against the wall. "I wouldn't be surprised if it were. I'm sure there's something we aren't being told. Also think, where do they take the people who can't make the nation proud. It's all a bunch of secrets."

she nodded,"It is, I don't like it," she murmured softly, "My mother told me most couples are expected to be pregnant by the end of the month," she murmured lightly. "I don't think that'll happen for me I've already ovulated,"

---

He sighed a litttle,"I know," he murmured softly.

I took a deep breath, and looked towards the closet. "Maybe we should just change into pajamas and we can answer more of those questions." I suggested, looking at him.

---

He nodded a little. "We can... play it by ear. If There's nothing we can do if it can't be helped."

She nodded a little,"Alright," she murmured softly.

---

He smiled,"sure," he said to her lightly as he walked over to his suit case.

I wouldn't bother unpacking yet, I would save that for later. I pulled on a tank top and some shorts, heading to the bathroom so I could wash my face. Sharing a bathroom would be interesting, especially with a guy. I finished and stood by the bed, before sitting on the side furthest from the door.

---

He nodded a little. "It's late, we should get ready for bed."

She nodded a little,"Okay," she murmured as she got up then walked into their bathroom to brush her teeth and braid her hair. She washed her face of makeup then applied her moisturizer and under eye cream to keep them from darkening.

---

He walked over to his sink and brushed his teeth then climbed into the empty side of the bed after having changed into just some sweat pants not bothering with a top.
