Disclaimer: Obviously I don’t own the characters of “24”. Those belong to Fox and the “24” creators. This is written just for fun and entertainment. All characters in this story that do not appear on “24” are simply fictitious. I have not based any of this story on the works of others. Any similarities are pure coincidence.

Setting: This is set sometime during or shortly after chapter 29 of “Hopes & Dreams.”

Author’s Notes: After “Let He Who is Without Sin” I felt a nice and happy story was in order. Again this story was yet another idea I didn’t use at the time of “Hopes & Dreams.” It would have been a chapter of “Hopes & Dreams: Intimate Moments” but for some reason at the time, I choose not to write it.

Michelle Almeida looked at her naked body in the full length mirror. She ran her hands over her very swollen belly and smiled. She knew that inside of her body, their child was growing and it filled her with such wonderment and joy. Her body had changed remarkably in the months since she had learned she was pregnant. And even though Tony was constantly telling her how beautiful she looked, in the back of her mind Michelle still felt a bit self conscious.

“Only three months to go little one” she said looking down and gently patting her stomach.

“Oh good morning sweetie, when did you get up?” Tony asked sticking his head into the bedroom.

Michelle turned and smiled. “Just a couple of minutes ago.”

Tony walked over and gave Michelle a hug and several kisses. “Are you hungry?”

“Starved as always” she giggled a bit.

“Well that’s good because I’ve got a big breakfast almost ready.”

Reaching over, Tony picked up her clothes and helped Michelle get dressed. Before she could put her shirt on, Tony knelt down and kissed her belly several times. He whispered several things to their unborn child and hearing that made Michelle smile.

“You’re going to be such a wonderful father” she said when Tony stood up.

“You’re already a wonderful mother” he whispered into Michelle’s ear before nuzzling it, kissing her cheek, and running a hand over her belly.

Michelle wrapped an arm around Tony’s arm and they headed to breakfast. Tony pulled out a chair and helped Michelle sit down before going to the stove and bringing her a plate of waffles, a bowl of mixed fruit, and some milk. He then sat down next to Michelle and began to sip his glass of orange juice.

“’Chelle, anything special you’d like to do today?” Tony asked while she enjoyed breakfast.

“I wouldn’t mind going to the mall. I could use a couple of things since I’m almost to fat for my current wardrobe.”

Tony sighed at that. He hated that Michelle was feeling “fat” when she wasn’t “fat” in the least.

“Sweetheart, you’re not fat. You’re pregnant and there is a huge and beautiful difference in the two.”

“I know” Michelle said looking down at her stomach “but I just feel fat. I know you think I’m still beautiful but I just feel strange.”

“Honey, of course you feel different. This is something you’ve never gone through before. There’s nothing wrong with that but you’re not fat and…” Tony paused with a giant smile on this face. “For some reason I find your body to be even sexier now. Something about your round belly is just a major turn on.”

Michelle giggled a bit at that. “You’re bizarre” she playfully replied.

Tony scooted closer to Michelle and put one arm around her shoulders. “I may be bizarre but I can’t help it. You just look so sexy all the time. Not that you didn’t before but even more so now.”

“And…” Tony began to kiss and nibble on her neck and ear “our love life is even better now.”

That made Michelle start to giggle again. “I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself.”

“Hey, you seemed to be enjoying yourself last night as well. I’m sure the neighbors heard how much at least several times.”

Michelle’s mouth dropped wide open as she looked over at her husband with mock surprise. However, they both burst out laughing a second later.

When the laughter finally died down, Michelle turned to Tony. “I couldn’t help it last night. For lack of a better description, you basically screwed my brains out and I enjoyed every minute of it.”

“See, I knew you could find something positive to say.”

“Well, I hope you’ll be willing to do it again tonight” Michelle purred “because for the past three months I’ve been constantly horny.”

“I kind of noticed” Tony chuckled. “Hell, we usually have sex at least five times a day.”

“It’s not that bad!” she giggled some more.

“Okay, two to three times a day” he teased back.

“And speaking of sex, now that I’m almost done with this wonderful breakfast, you better join me in the shower.”

“Yes Ma’am!”

Michelle quickly finished and Tony helped her to her feet. With a seductive look, she turned and headed for the bathroom. Tony quickly followed and walked into the room just after Michelle. He found her leaning against the sink and looking seductive.

“How about you get the shower going?” Michelle asked with a giant smile.

Tony walked over to the tub and quickly had it warmed up. Turning back to Michelle, he was treated to a nice show. Slowly she unbuttoned her shirt revealing the lace bra underneath. Tony smiled as she unclipped it and allowed her breasts, which had become bigger over the past couple of months, to fall free.

“Amazing as always” Tony said as Michelle made her breasts jiggle a bit. Walking over, he unbuttoned her pants and Michelle stepped out of them. An evil grin crossed Tony’s face as he knelt down and noticed that the front of Michelle’s lace panties were quite damp. He pulled them off and began to caress the smooth and soft skin between her legs.

“Hmm, baby. That feels so good” she purred.

Slipping a finger inside Michelle, Tony could feel her wetness and warmth. Soon another finger disappeared into his gorgeous wife who was quietly moaning. Once his lips joined his fingers, it didn’t take Tony long to bring Michelle to an orgasm. She let out a scream and some unintelligible words which made Tony smile even more. He stood up and quickly stepped out of his clothes and then led the still trembling Michelle over to the tub.

Moving under the water, the two lovers began to kiss intensely. Michelle pushed her tongue into Tony’s mouth and searing tongue play followed. When the deep and lasting kiss finally ended, Michelle suckled on Tony’s tongue as they separated.

Michelle got down on her knees and looked up at her husband. “Now enjoy” she purred. Tony felt Michelle’s thick, full lips envelop him and as her mouth began to perform its work; he felt as if he was in paradise. He reached down and put his hands onto her mass of damp curls. When she looked up, the clear sight of what she was doing was a major turn on for Tony.

Knowing just how to make her husband feel good but not push him over the edge too quickly, Michelle spent a long time sending wave after wave of pleasure through Tony’s body. Finally, when she sensed that any more would ruin what was coming next, Michelle pulled her lips away, placing one final kiss on the tip before Tony helped her stand up.

“That was incredible” he said cupping her face and looking into her dark, almond shaped eyes.

“I know I enjoyed it as much as you did” she cooed running a finger up his chest.

“Now, I’d like to send some time pleasing you” he whispered before helping Michelle sit down in the tub. Tony reached over and decided a bath would work better and switched off the shower. The large tub quickly began to fill with warm water.

Tony knelt down and began to gently caress her breasts. “I’m still amazed at how much bigger they are now. I sure as heck am enjoying it.”

Michelle just smiled and closed her eyes as Tony began to kiss her breasts. As his lips moved across the soft skin, Tony planted dozens of kisses all over before coming to one of her nipples which he began to gently tease with his tongue. Soon he latched onto it and began to gently suckle. At the same time, he once again slipped two fingers into his beautiful wife.

“Oh ’Chelle, you feel so good” he whispered while moving his mouth to her other breast.

It only took a couple of minutes for Tony’s fingers to bring Michelle to her second orgasm. She trembled as it washed over her and Tony could feel how powerful it was as his two fingers remained inside.

“I think… I think it’s time” she panted.

Not needing any encouragement, Tony moved behind Michelle and helped her into his lap. Michelle just smiled and moaned as Tony became firmly and snuggly positioned inside of her. Reaching around, he began to knead her breasts and tug on her firm and erect nipples.

“I love you sweetie” he whispered into her ear while suckling on the earlobe.

For several minutes they just sat, joined together, and enjoyed the pure love and satisfaction it brought them. Tony’s hands continued their work on Michelle’s breasts and she felt as though she was in heaven.

Finally, Tony began a very slow rhythm intended to prolong their lovemaking as much as possible. He reached around and placed his hands underneath Michelle’s enlarged belly and gently began to caresses from there up to her breasts and back again. The feelings of Tony’s hands under her large bulge were, for some reason, a turn on to Michelle and she felt herself becoming even more aroused.

Tony could sense how good he was making Michelle feel as she tightened up around him. With one hand he reached down between Michelle’s legs and began to tease her well engorged bud. That was too much for Michelle and within a very short time; she went over the edge in a torrent of screams of delight. Tony just moved his hands back underneath her belly and held his trembling wife.

It took Michelle a couple of minutes to catch her breath but she eventually managed to get some words from her mouth. “Honey that was amazing as always” she panted heavily.

“Well, it’s not over yet” he whispered into her ear before returning his lips to her earlobe and suckling on it some more.

The gentle rhythm continued as Michelle closed her eyes and wanted to simply revel in the experience. Tony, like the typical man, just had to continue enjoying her plump and full breasts. When he sensed he was close, Tony was once again determined to make sure Michelle was just as satisfied as he was.

A couple of fingers were all it took to give Michelle one more orgasm which brought about Tony’s as well. Their moans, grunts, and groans intermixed in an erotic melody only dying away as their orgasms faded. Tony still held Michelle in his arms as their breathing slowed.

“Wow” he finally let out running his hands over her belly.

“Wow is right” Michelle replied, a giant smile on her face.

They stayed together for several more minutes but Michelle eventually moved from Tony’s lap. “Would you mind helping me take a bath?” she asked.

Not needing to be encouraged, Tony grabbed the body wash and soon had Michelle covered in suds. She just smiled as Tony did his work. Once he finished, she returned the favor and they finally got out of the tub.

“’Chelle, you going to wear that cute blue dress?” Tony asked with a mischievous grin.

“Why do you always want me to wear that?” Michelle replied sounding like a total flirt.

“Because you look gorgeous in it!”

“It’s a little to ‘dressy’ for the mall.”

“Ah, but you look so adorable in it” he pleaded with mock sorrow.

“Alright honey, I’ll wear it just for you.”

Michelle went over to the closet and pulled out a navy blue dress that Tony had bought her the week before. It was modest, the sleeves stopped just past the elbows, and the skirt stopped just past the knees. The neckline showed just a hint of cleavage and a large matching bow tied off just above Michelle’s bump.

As she finished adjusting the bow, Tony came over and ran his hands up and down Michelle’s belly.

“You look absolutely amazing” he whispered into her ear.

They headed out, hand in hand, for the short drive to the mall.

--

Michelle was glowing as they walked into the mall thanks to the combination of her and Tony’s time in the tub and her hormones. They headed right for the maternity store Michelle just loved to shop in.

She tried on several outfits before selecting a couple of dresses along with some shirts and pants. But then it was time for something Tony didn’t need to know about. At least not right away.

“Honey, would you please wait outside the store?” she purred knowing Tony couldn’t resist her charms.

“Sure, I’ll be right outside.”

Michelle went toward the lingerie section and decided to pick out something special for tonight. The sales lady who also happened to be pregnant came over. “Is there something I can help you with?” she asked.

“Yes, I’m looking for something sexy to wear for my husband.”

“Ah, come right over here. We should have just the thing you’re looking for.”

Michelle began to look over the various items before finally settling on a black mesh camisole that tied up in the front but actually covered very little. It would clearly define and showoff her belly while also pushing up and making her cleavage appear even larger. She knew Tony would just love that. The matching panties were equally revealing with sexy little bows that tied up the straps on either side.

“Your husband will love this” the sales lady said. “I know mine does.”

Both women started to giggle at that. When they finally managed to stop, Michelle had the sales lady wrap up the purchase and she went to find Tony who was sitting on a bench just outside the store.

“So what’d you get?” he asked trying to look into the bag.

“You’ll find out in good time but right now let’s go get something to eat.”

Reaching the food court, Michelle went over and selected half a dozen dishes from the Chinese establishment while Tony went to get several slices of pizza. As they sat eating, Michelle began to eye Tony’s lunch.

“Would you like some?” he asked with a chuckle.

“If you don’t mind sharing.”

Tony reached up with his hand that wasn’t covered in pizza grease and caressed Michelle’s cheek. “I never mind sharing with you.”

Quickly taking a slice off of Tony’s plate, Michelle made short work of the pizza. “Umm, yummy” she giggled.

Tony just smiled at how cute his wife was sounding. As lunch continued, they flirted back and forth like a pair of love stuck teenagers. Afterwards Michelle wanted to hit a music store and a shoe store.

An hour later Michelle had found everything she wanted and they headed for home. The rest of the day was spent lounging around the house. Michelle’s plans for the evening were ruined though when she developed a splitting headache and not wanting to take anything because of the baby meant the only way to get rid of it was to sleep it off.

--

The next day proved to be much better for Michelle as her headache was long gone and she felt great again. After another lazy day and a nice dinner, it was time to pick up where the two lovers had left off the previous morning.

Tony knew what he was to do while Michelle prepared herself. He went and took a quick shower in the other bathroom and then started a fire in the living room’s fireplace and moved a couple of things around the room. Afterwards he went into the bedroom to wait.

Finally he heard Michelle’s summons and he knew what was coming as it was in a deep, sexy voice. Tony quickly headed for the living room and was greeted by the sight of Michelle lying on the couch. The only thing she was wearing was the camisole and seeing his wife looking so seductive caused an instant smile to appear on Tony’s face.

“’Chelle you look…” he paused trying to find a word that was adequate to describe how gorgeous Michelle was looking. “Wow, is all I can think to say.”

Michelle giggled and smiled at that. She knew what Tony was thinking; he didn’t have to actually tell her how much he loved seeing her dressed like this.

“Come here, lover” she called in the same sexy voice she had used to beckon him to the living room.

Tony walked over and knelt down by the couch. He gently began to caress his wife’s nearly bare stomach. “You look incredible” he whispered.

After several minutes of this, Michelle sat up and rose to her feet. Tony stood and placed his hands around her and leaned down and gently pressed his lips to hers. “I love you, ’Chelle” he said during a brief separation of their lips.

Soon Michelle’s tongue gently spread Tony’s lips and their kissing changed from tender to more and more passionate. When Tony tried to untie the first strap of Michelle’s camisole, she playfully swatted his hand away.

“Just wait a bit longer” Michelle whispered before taking a step back. “I want you to watch and enjoy.”

As Tony stood with a big, dumb grin on his face, Michelle slowly began to untie the top strap. She made sure her movements were erotic and sensual and Michelle could tell that as each strap was opened, Tony was getting more excited. Before she could undo the last one, Tony couldn’t wait any longer. He began to run his hands over her belly and up to her breasts.

“You are so perfect” he whispered as he began to kiss from her lips to her ear.

Now it was Michelle’s turn to smile as Tony untied the last strap and pulled the camisole from her shoulders.

“Absolutely perfect” Tony whispered again as his hands explored every inch of Michelle’s pregnant body. No matter how many times he touched his wife, each one was a unique and special moment to be treasured.

“Oh I love you, precious” Michelle heard in her ear. Tony’s breath was hot and moist as he continued to nibble on her earlobe before moving to her neck.

Tony began to move around behind his wife without ever letting his lips leave her neck. His hands soon moved from Michelle’s large bump around to her soft backside which Tony began to knead.

“You feel so good” he moaned, never moving his lips from the soft skin of her neck and shoulders. “Your skin is so soft and smooth.”

Michelle was reveling in the attention Tony was giving her as his hands moved all over her body. “Tony, that feels wonderful” she purred.

After several more minutes of kissing and nibbling her neck and kneading Michelle’s luscious backside, Tony was ready to make his wife feel even better. Guiding her close to the fireplace, Tony gently laid Michelle down and placed a pillow on the floor for her head before kneeling in front of her.

“Tonight is my turn to make you feel good” he whispered looking up and into Michelle’s dark, almond shaped eyes. In them he could see love and pure desire. As he scanned Michelle’s body, Tony thought how perfect she was. The fire bathed her naked body in a yellow-orange light and made her skin warm to the touch. Her breasts were firm and substantial, even more so now as her pregnancy advanced. His fingers felt Michelle’s soft skin, from her face down to her enlarged belly. For several minutes Tony kissed his wife’s bump and totally enjoyed her special body.

Tony gently opened Michelle’s legs and slowly pulled down her panties before beginning to kiss her inner thighs. After several more minutes, he turned his attention to the soft, smooth skin between her legs. Slowly he traced around her femininity with two fingers before beginning to tease Michelle with his tongue. At first the only sounds were Michelle beginning to breathe harder until Tony’s tongue parted her lips followed soon by a finger. Soon, she began to moan, first quietly but it quickly got louder as Tony continued; resulting an almost primeval scream when her orgasm came.

However, Tony wasn’t anywhere near finished and as soon as Michelle stopped trembling, he resumed his erotic assault. Michelle continued to lay on the floor. She just wanted to enjoy the waves of pleasure he husband was sending through her body. Soon a second orgasm passed through her resulting in some unintelligible words and another fairly loud scream.

As she tried to sit up, Tony gently pushed Michelle back onto the carpet. “Not yet, honey” he whispered in a loving but very erotic tone. He quickly returned to his work, two fingers sliding into Michelle while his lips and tongue teased her bud. Michelle’s third orgasm was just as strong as the first two and elicited the same response.

Now, having made Michelle feel good, Tony was ready to make love to his precious wife. He quickly kicked off his boxers and then leaned over to kiss Michelle’s soft, full lips. “I love you sweetie” he whispered as their lips parted. “I love you too” was the reply.

Tony had decided while waiting on his wife that he wanted to make love to Michelle in front of the fireplace and had positioned the coffee table and some pillows so he could lean back again them while Michelle sat in his lap.

Pulling Michelle up, he helped her scoot over before sitting down himself. Michelle put one leg across Tony’s and gently lowered herself down into her husband. Tony smiled as he felt himself slowly sliding into the woman he loved more than life itself. She leaned her back into his chest, resting her head on his shoulder and looking over at her husband.

Turning his head, Tony was able to press his lips to Michelle’s as he began to caress her enlarged belly with both hands. Tongues danced as they enjoyed another time of being intimately joined together.

As the light from the fire flickered, Tony began the same slow and steady rhythm he had used the previous morning. Placing his hands underneath her bulge gave them both a rush of erotic feelings but it also helped Michelle move with the rhythm.

“I love you, precious” he whispered into her ear before placing a kiss on Michelle’s cheek.

Michelle replied with an “I love you too” as she began to softly moan at how good everything was feeling.

Soon, the only sounds in the room were the crackling of the fire and the noises of two lovers totally lost in one another. As the rhythm increased so did the moans, grunts, and sighs of pleasure. Tony knew what Michelle wanted as she tightened up around him and in response he quickened the tempo. He wanted to hear his wife scream as she tended to do when Tony brought her to an orgasm. It was not long before he was rewarded as an orgasm washed over Michelle making her let out a deep and satisfied scream. Her trembling was a beautiful feeling to Tony as he held her tightly and reveled in the experience.

“Hmm, that was wonderful, lover” Michelle purred.

“I’m sure the neighbors know it too” Tony couldn’t help but say.

Michelle started to giggle and Tony laughed along with her. Being able to laugh together just made their love making all the more enjoyable. When it died away, Tony resumed his rhythm and began to knead Michelle’s breasts and tug on her nipples.

Fifteen minutes had passed since the lovers had began their erotic dance when Tony finally couldn’t last any longer. As Michelle sensed her lover was close, she intentionally tightened up which almost instantly sent him over the age. Now, Tony was as satisfied as his wife.

“That was just amazing as always” Tony whispered into her ear.

Michelle replied with a big smile as she just closed her eyes and snuggled into Tony’s arms. Now it was a time to enjoy the afterglow of their lovemaking. They snuggled, lightly kissed, and watched the fire. As the fire began to die down, Michelle turned and looked at her husband.

“Ready for round two?” she giggled.

“Hmm… with you… I’m… always… ready” he replied in between placing kisses on Michelle’s neck.

Rising to his feet, Tony helped Michelle to hers and they headed toward the bedroom. Michelle walked over to the bed and laid down. She began to caress her body knowing it was turn on for Tony to watch these motions.

“You like what you see?” she asked, her voice deep and seductive.

“I always like what I see when looking at your gorgeous body.”

Kneeling down next to the bed, Tony joined in caressing Michelle’s body. He began to kiss her belly and up to her breasts, teasing each one with his tongue and suckling on one nipple and then the other.

“I’m ready, sweetie” Michelle said when Tony’s lips finally left her breasts.

Tony helped Michelle scoot to the edge of the bed, her legs barely touching the floor. This was another position they had discovered thanks to Michelle’s current shape. Tony put his hands under Michelle’s backside and positioned her body so he could support her. As she spread her legs, Michelle quickly felt Tony slide inside of her. “You are so tight, ’Chelle” Tony moaned as he slowly moved deeper; soon becoming snugly positioned inside. He looked down as Michelle’s face seeing a satisfied smile and her brown eyes looking back.

Very slowly, Tony began a smooth rhythm, one that he had long mastered to ensure quite long lasting love making. Several minutes later, Michelle decided to change it up a bit by lifting her legs into the air. Tony quickly supported her legs with his hands and looked down at Michelle and smiled. Her curls were spread out all over the bed which Tony found to be beautiful. Michelle’s smooth legs soon attracted Tony’s lips and he began to place soft kisses on each one.

Neither cared how much time had passed as their love making intensified. Tony’s rhythm increased which brought stronger sensations of pleasure for both lovers. Soon Tony and Michelle began to moan louder and louder until they both came in a torrent of passion.

When Tony finally lowered Michelle’s legs to the floor and took a step back, the two lovers were totally and completely satisfied. After helping Michelle scoot up onto the bed, Tony laid down next to his wife. She cuddled tightly into her lover’s body and Tony began to lightly caress her breasts with one hand.

“That was incredible” she said in a light, airy voice.

“Hmm, yes it was” Tony replied placing a kiss on the top of her head. “I love you, ’Chelle.”

“I love you, Tony.”

Michelle tried to reach the blanket but her current size made it hard. “Honey, could you…” she began but Tony didn’t need for her to finish. He quickly reached down and picked up the blanket and covered them both.

“Is that better?” he asked before kissing Michelle again.

“Hmm, much better” Michelle replied snuggling closer to Tony.

The two lovers just stayed there and once again enjoyed the afterglow of their lovemaking. They flirted back and forth and simply made pillow talk for over an hour.

Eventually, Michelle rolled over on her side and placed a pillow under her bump. Looking back over her shoulder, she smiled at Tony and gave him her ‘come hither’ look.

Tony rolled onto his side and Michelle spooned into his body. Almost immediately she felt Tony slide inside of her again. While earlier had been good, hard, sweaty sex, now it was time for something special. It would be slow, intimate, and very long lasting love making.

Slipping one arm underneath Michelle, Tony soon had her wrapped in his arms. He rested his head just behind hers but close enough to whisper into Michelle’s ear.

“I wish I could think of the right words to tell you how I truly feel about you” he whispered. “I love you just doesn’t suffice to express all of the emotions I feel about you.”

Michelle felt a tear of joy roll down her cheek as Tony continued.

“Every day I wake up and thank God for you. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me; the most perfect woman God has ever created. With everything that I am I love you. I love you more than life itself. You’re more precious to me than anything in this world.”

Turning her head, Michelle looked back at Tony and he could see tears running down her cheeks. He wiped them away and before kissing her soft lips.

“That was so beautiful” she whispered. “I love you so much, Tony. I don’t think I could even find words as beautiful as yours to express how much.”

Tony smiled and returned his lips to Michelle’s. Several minutes of sweet and tender kissing began while at the same time Tony began to gently tug on Michelle’s nipples. Soon his hands moved lower and began to caress Michelle’s enlarged belly.

Over the next hour, the Almeidas continued to revel in the pleasure and delight of being intimately joined together. Only when they couldn’t keep their eyes open any longer did they both drift off into a deep and satisfied sleep. The last thought on both their minds was that life was perfect and this is how life should always be.
