Chapter 4 - Staying at Home Mom #1

It's been almost half a year that Carly and Joshua have been living alone and the year was only a bit more than a couple of months to end soon. Things have run smoothly for them both, either at work or in their marriage. And as it was entering the third year of their marriage, Carly started expecting a child. They had been talking about it thoroughly for the last couple of weeks and they settled into a decision. That Carly would have to quit her job to be a full-time mom. They disagreed a lot during the days of discussion because Carly kept on thinking that she would lose her value if she quits the job and doesn't make money anymore. Joshua got soft and took a turn, saying that he would let Carly do her own business from home. One condition was that she could focus on their child, which means her business had to be settled and developed before she leaves her job and has the newborn.

They were in the living room, talking about the shop brand and logo that Carly was about to build. Joshua was sitting on the floor and Carly was on the couch behind him, straddling his torso.

"What do you think about this one?" Carly leaned in and placed her chin on Joshua's shoulder to show him a picture on her tablet.

"I think you need to fix this part a bit and make the name more eye-catching. Don't use that kind of font, it's hard to read," Joshua answered while pointing the pen and circling it on the screen and continued, "make  this part simpler, and less ornament, put this over here instead."

Carly watched him carefully and smiled in adoration. She loves when Joshua is focusing on artistic work and giving her advice. 

"You look cool when you're concentrating, Josh," Carly tilted her head and looked at her husband, smiling in awe. Joshua couldn't help but lean in and kiss her, she looked too cute and adorable with those puppy eyes. He rolled over and pushed Carly onto the couch, starting to glide his hands under her clothes and into her panties. Their breathing took the pace and escalated rapidly.

"Should I get you pregnant now?" Joshua asked with a hoarse voice.

"No, you silly. It's your own condition about this whole thing, remember?" Carly responded while letting his hands travel across her skin, finding her heat.

"Mmm… But I have the urge to pound you now."

"No, I don't think now, Joshua, we have a deadline, you want me to finish the brand today," Carly tried to push him away, but Joshua was gripping her flesh tight under the garments.

"You sure, baby?" He held on even tighter, hurting Carly, but she loved the sensation instead and moaned louder.

"Oh, Joshua! We really need to continue the brand," Carly breathed heavily, getting aroused but trying to stay on the ground.

Joshua pulled his hand and sat back on the floor, "okay, up to you."

Carly knew she made him feel annoyed, but she was trying to concentrate on the work for her future.

It was almost New Year, and Carly's business started to grow well in barely a couple of months. She got the best sum of suppliers for her product from various countries and that was quite favourable. As well, the giveaway program that Joshua recommended delivered her plenty of customers, either buyers or resellers. Her next mission was to keep decent monitoring and keep organized. Carly was incredibly confident about her home business and she finally felt that she was ready to have a child.

Carly was scanning the messages of the store and counting the order that she earned when Joshua arrived home from overtime work. She collected more days off than Joshua did every December, and that was worthwhile for her to take care of and grow her business even faster because people shop aggressively on holidays.

"Hey, you're home late," she greeted him without taking her gaze off of the tablet screen.

"Yeah, ridiculous company," Joshua dropped himself next to Carly on the sofa, "massage me, baby," he continued with a sluggish expression.

"Aww… Poor baby… Come here, let me treat you well," Carly put away her tablet and pulled him into her embrace, placing his head on her chest and gently stroking her hands along his front, down to his belly.

Joshua laughed softly and just like that, he plopped one of her hands into his trousers. Joshua tilted his head to look at Carly and cheekily said, "We really need to get you pregnant this time, babe."

Carly laughed, Joshua skillfully turned back and grabbed her, lifting her in his arms and carrying her to the bedroom to make some babies.
