One year ago…

"Your honor, my client has a right to her privacy. The fact that her husband went through her phone is an invasion of privacy. Therefor this case should be dropped. Her husband does not deserve a drop of her hard earned money. Thank you, your honor."

"Your honor, how the information came to us is not important. It is the information that is important. That information confirms that Mrs. Hanstead was cheating on her husband. We have even gone so far as to find the man who she cheated with. If you allow us we would like to call him to stand."

"Proceed."

"Your honor the prosecution would like to call Mike Mauldery to stand," the prosecution paused as the man walked to the stand. "Mr. Mauldery do you know Charlotte Hanstead?"

"Objection calls for a narrative!"

"Your honor, I'm just establishing background."

"Overruled."

"Yes I know her. She is my employer."

"And what do you do for her?"

"I'm her accountant."

"Are you acquainted with her husband?"

"Yes he would always come into the office and ask for a hire allowance."

"How high was his 'allowance'?"

"500 a month."

'Have you ever slept with Mrs. Hanstead?"

"Objection your honor! Lack of foundation!"

"Question withdrawn. Prosecution rest."

"Mr. Mauldery, do you know a man by the name of Phil Oswald?" The man on the stand blanched.

"Um never heard of him."

"Your honor, let the record reflect that the witness has denied logic of Mr. Oswald."

"Reflected."

"Mr. Mauldery how long have you worked for the defendant?

"Ten years."

"How long has she known your sexuality?"

"Eight years-"

"Objection your honor! That question-"

"Stands."

"No further questions."

"Redirect your honor," he waited until the judge nodded. "Mr. Mauldery has Mrs. Hanstead ever hit on you?"

"No. She has always known of my sexuality and the fact that I am in a committed relationship."

"So- Wait what? You have never been hit on by Mrs. Hanstead?"

"Nope. Now Mr. Hanstead every time he came in the room he hit on me. It got to the point that I was willing to quit."

"Can you explain the text messages from Mrs. Hanstead's phone?" The lawyer sounded flustered.

"At first I thought they from her. Mrs. Hanstead that is but then one day I realized that they from Mr. Hanstead."

"How did you realize that?" One could tell that these were not questions he wanted to ask or ones that helped his case.

"He mentioned something that he had said to me one day in my office. So I brought it up to Mrs. Hanstead now here we are."

"I think I have heard all that I need to hear," the judge leveled a look at Mr. Mauldery as he walked off the stand. "The charges against one, Charlotte Hanstead are dropped. Mr. Hanstead you will get equal payment of what you brought to the marriage as the pre-nup states. Court Adjourned."

The people started filing out of the court and yet the two lawyers stayed. Jenny McGuire worked for the defense team and Harry Pure worked for the prosecution. Though the two were on different sides of the table they were still friends.

"Hey you wanna grab a beer?" Harry asked. He knew that she would say no but he thought he would ask. She was pretty hot and a no-nonsense type of girl. Not usually his type but this one had been getting under his skin for the last two years.

"You know what? Sure. How about I meet at Trevino's in an hour? I have to head home to change," she smiled at him and watched as the blood drained from his face.

"Seriously? Um yeah an hour is fine. I will meet you there," he said as she walked toward the door. He watched as her hips swayed back and forth. His eyes filled with lust. He wondered when she would realize he was partly in love with her.

Seven Months Later

"You are a tease woman. Stop teasing me!" She kept running her hand up his naked chest. That was a far as they had gotten in the last seven months: her laying in bra and panties and him in boxers. He had taken to wearing boxers to make sure she would not be freaked out by his erection every time he saw her body. He was hoping one day he would get to see her fully naked.

Harry was shaken out of his thoughts when Jenny's hand went browsing under his boxers. They had never gotten that far before but he was glad she had taken the initiative. He sucked in his breath when her tiny fingers wrapped around his erection. He like where this was going. He leaned into her neck and gave her a kiss. Jenny angled her head up so that he knew to continue with what he was doing.

His lips connected to mark on the inside of her shoulder and neck. Jenny moaned and Harry got harder. His lips traveled downward to her chest. He kissed them through the bra first making the nipples harden into sharp little buds. Harry pulled Jenny up and over him. When Jenny pouted because she had to move her hands Harry chuckled. He reached up and unsnapped her bra. Before it could fall and he could see her breast, she caught the bra and covered up.

"I'm pretty sure you are not dense. So you probably, no wait I have to say this. You know I am a 24 year old virgin. You probably also know that no guy has ever seen my boobs before let alone my bra and underwear. So if I am- we- are going to do this I wanna do it right."

"Do you have any idea how beautiful you look?" He pulled down her arms and let the straps of her bra fall. "I have watched you for two years come out of your shell. When I first saw you, you were a shy quiet girl. Now look at you. You blossom at everything you do," He rolled them over and slipped them out of the rest of their clothes. "When we first started this I was half way in love you and now I know I am in love with you. I love your self-confidence and beauty and how you present yourself. You don't let anyone talk you down or destroy and I love you." Even as he finished his speech, he slipped inside of her. Jenny gasped and moaned at the pleasure-pain she felt. He stopped and Jenny whimpered. He moved again and again until he felt her tightened around him. He felt himself let go and he collapsed.

They stayed that way for close to two minutes before she could not breathe. He rolled over and pulled her close to his side.

"Did you mean it? When you said you loved me?" Jenny asked Harry quietly.

"Yes I do. I love you so much." He kissed her forehead and fell asleep.

Harry woke up two hours later as if a glass of water had been pitched on his face. As did Jenny.

"Please tell me we didn't just make love without a condom?"

Present Time-

"Your uh honor, um , my client is innocent of um, all charges should be dropped."

"Counselor are you having problems?" It was a new judge than the last one with a different prosecution team.

"Fine your honor just feeling a little-" Before the sentence was out of her mouth, Jenny had hit the ground, cracking her head on the corner of the table. The room crowded around her while the bailiff called for an ambulance.

Next door to that courtroom, Harry worked with a client as the defense attorney. The bailiff's radio went off and the next thing you now all hell broke loose. The judge dismissed the court asking Harry to stay.

"Harry how close are you to Jenny McGuire?"

"Why?" Harry was at first confused then worried.

"She just passed out in the next courtroom. The reports are that she may have cracked her head open on the table leg."

"I gotta go." Harry rushed out of the room and into the next.

"I kinda figured it was like that." The judge whispered to himself.

Four Days Later-

"Hey baby. How are you feeling?" Harry leaned his head on the hospital bed.

"Like crap. How long have I been here? What happened?" Her voice was raspy and dry.

"You passed out in the courtroom and hit your head on the table edge. You have been unconscious for the last four days. Scared the hell out of me if I am being honest." Harry chuckled.

"I'm sorry babe. I don't know what happened. One minute I was fine then next thing I know it's hot and everything was fading away."

The doctor walked a few seconds later. "Miss McGuire I have a few personal questions for you. If you would sir give us a few minutes alone." She waited until Harry had left the room to speak again. "Miss McGuire when was the last time your period?"

"I don't really know um maybe three or four months ago. Why?"

"Our tests show that you are about thirteen weeks along."

"Along? What do you mean?" The doctor just waited with a raised eyebrow. "Do you mean pregnant? But oh shit. Um thanks doctor." The doctor said something but Jenny was too busy trying to figure out how to tell Harry that she was having his child. The doctor left the room and Harry rushed back in.

"I have a question for you. It's been on my mind for the last three months even before we had sex. Don't think this is because of the sex because it is not. I love you and though you have never said it-"

"I love you. So much more than you can imagine." Jenny interrupted with her voice still raspy. Harry laughed and kissed her lips.

"Good 'cause I want you to marry me. Now I know it is not the most romantic proposal but when I got to you in the courtroom all I could think of what would happen if you died. If I no longer got to wake up beside you or had the pleasure of making children with you or raising them with you. And I want those things so bad and I want them with you. So please say you will marry me."

"I will. Only I think my dress will have to be the one accommodated to having a baby. Because according to the doctor I'm pregnant. About twelve weeks."

"Really? We are having a baby? Me and you? Our own child?" He waited until she nodded before climbing in the bed with her and kissing her so passionately that her heart monitor went off and the doctor came running in.
