Guess

Sherry FF.” (explained at the end)
MSOA
Kitty beta-read this ducky and found every feather in place.
And since the MSOA Kitty has some issues every now and then.
I got smart and sent it to Michi.
Thanks for your help, Girl.

PM
Harm
walked from the study and into the kitchen.
He stopped at the table next to the kitchen doorway and smiled at the
photo of him and Mac. It was
taken on their wedding day. He
just grinned as he recalled the magic of the day.
It was hard to believe they had been married for just over two months.
Everything about the day was perfect and so had the last two months.
He
walked into the kitchen and got a coke out of the fridge, wondering where his
wife had gone to. As he sat down
at the table he could hear the garage door opening.
“Think of the devil,” he joked to himself.
A
few minutes later the door from the garage to the kitchen opened and Mac
walked in. “Hey.”
“Hey.”
Harm smiled as Mac placed a bag on the table.
“Did
you and Greg have fun playing basketball?”
Mac asked as she hung her coat on the wall hook.
“Yeah,
he’s got a mean jump shot, but I showed him who was boss.”
Mac
looked carefully at her husband. “So
he beat ya’?”
“43
to 38.”
Mac
sat down in the kitchen chair next to Harm.
“Now would that be the second or third game?”
“Fifth.
I’m getting a little old to be playing with someone ten years younger
then me.”
Mac
cocked an eyebrow. “You think so, Honey?”
“If
you’re not nice to me, I won’t be nice to you tonight,” Harm joked.
“I’m
always nice to you, and I was very nice to you this morning if I recall.”
Harm’s
joking grin turned into one with a hint of lust.
“Yeah, this morning was very nice.
Any chance I might get another morning like that?”
“There’s
a high chance,” Mac said as she took a box out of the bag that she had
placed on the table.
“What
did you buy?” Harm asked.
Mac
opened the box and pulled out two cupcakes decorated with balloons.
“Cupcakes. Want one?”
“Sure,”
Harm said taking one of the cupcakes. “What’s
the occasion?”
“My
favorite sailor’s birthday,” Mac said before taking a bite of the cupcake.
Harm
thought for a second. “I
thought Donald Duck’s birthday was June 9.”
“It
is.”
“Then
why are we celebrating his birthday day two months beforehand?”
Harm asked, finding himself wondering how his beautiful wife’s mind
worked.
“Well,
I did some research. Donald was
born on June 9, since that was when he debuted in the Silly Symphony cartoon
‘The Wise Little Hen.’ But we
need to think back to the day his egg was laid,” Mac told Harm
Harm
took a bite of his cupcake. “I’m
listening.”
Mac
took a breath. “Okay, it takes
the average duck egg to incubate for 28 day before it will hatch.
From there it takes approximately 60 days for the duckling to learn how
to fly. So by adding 60 plus 28
your result is 88. Thereby
subtracting 88 from June 9, your result is March 13.
So if today is the day that Donald Duck was laid, today is also his
birthday.” Mac paused.
“But then we could also count February 7, 1938
as his birthday,
too.”
“Why?”
Harm asked, still trying to wrap his mind around the math Mac had just
explained to him.
“Well,
that was the day that his comic strip was first published in newspapers.
But it happened 4 years after ‘The Wise Little Hen,’ so it really
doesn’t count.”
Harm
was silently for a minute. “So
today is the day that Donald Duck’s egg was laid.”
“Yes.”
Mac smiled.
“And
he wasn’t a fully grown duck until June 9.”
“Yes.”
Harm
stared at his wife for a second. “You
do know that most people would consider this Donald Duck thing of yours a tad
bit insane.”
“I
know.” Mac finished eating her
cupcake. “But you find it
endearing.”
“That
I do, I really enjoy getting you out of your Donald Duck PJ’s too,” Harm
said giving her a kiss on her neck.
Mac
chuckled. “You’re not the
only one who enjoys that.”
“But
you know, I’m wondering if there is something else going on here.”
“Like
what?”
“I
don’t know.” Harm paused.
“We didn’t celebrate this last year.”
Mac
nodded. “True, but this year we
have a reason to.”
“Really.
And what would that reason be?”
“Well,
you have something very important to Donald Duck now.”
“I
do?” Harm questioned as he finished his cupcake.
Mac
took a deep breath. “Yep.”
“And
what would that be?” Harm asked.
“Well
today is the day that Donald Duck entered the world and it’s also.” Mac
paused and looked in her husband eyes. “It’s
also the day you get to meet your baby.”
Harm
stared at Mac in total confusion. “My
baby?”
Mac
smiled. “I’m pregnant.”
Slowly
the words reached Harm’s brain and he pulled Mac to him and kissed her
soundly. As he broke the kiss he
looked into her eyes. “You’re
pregnant?”
“About
seven weeks.” Mac grinned and meet his lips for another kiss.
Harm’s
hand moved down to Mac’s stomach and rested where his baby was slowly
developing. “When did you find
out?”
“Friday,
when I went to lunch without you. I went to the doctor.
I wanted to tell you in an interesting way. And this was all I could
come up with.” Mac chuckled.
Harm
just grinned at her. “It was
perfect.” He looked into her
eyes. “I love you.”
“I
love you, too.” Mac said before
their lips meet in a soft and sweet kiss.

AN’s
This
is a “Blame Sherry FF,” because Sherry e-mailed me “Happy Donald Duck
Birthday Day.....He's 71 today..........” Then Michi got involved by saying
“It's Ducky's birthday???? Hey, where's the HB FF????? I thought it was your
tradition,” So now I’m sitting here thinking this is a “Blame Michi
FF,” but since Sherry started it…..we blame her. (I love you both for this
one.)
The
duck hatching and growth information came from here
http://lancaster.unl.edu/4h/Embryology/Games/WhoMallard.htm
The
Donald Duck information came from these two sites www.fortunecity.com/lavender/jarman/352/d%5Fd.htm
and http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/characterstandard/donald/donald.html
Now
for me everyday is Donald Duck day…. “The Duck rules, the mouse drools.”
