I’m pregnant again, and I can’t be more happy! Lizzie is a wonderful little girl, but she needs a sister or a brother. Lizzie has her father’s red hair and my eyes. She also has a temper to her, but that could come from either of us. I think having a sibling will help with that, it will keep her a little more grounded. She also might not get so spoiled. I worry about that, spoiling her too much. She will make a good big sister. Even though she’s headstrong, she can be kind and gentle. And she is so smart. She’s only three and she knows the alphabet and I’ve taught her some French.

Sure, it’s going to be a little harder with two kids and working, but it’s easier for me than for other women. We have money. We have help. And I finally have my women-in-management initiative back up and running. I don’t want to abandon it again.

It wasn’t long after Lizzie was born that I wanted to begin trying for another baby. I didn’t tell Hank, just never started back with birth control and, like a man, he didn’t even ask about it.

I didn’t think it would take too long to get pregnant, since I’d gotten pregnant the first time we’d ever had sex. But this time wasn’t as easy as the first. Months went by, and every month I got my period like clockwork. Not even a pregnancy scare. Catherine had a couple of miscarriages, I know that, but at least she could get pregnant.

I finally told Hank that I wanted another baby. He wasn’t convinced that I should get pregnant again so soon. He told me I should be happy with Lizzie and enjoy her. I was back at work, wasn’t I? Wasn’t this all I wanted? I was enjoying her, and yes, I was happy to be back at work, I reminded him, but I wanted her to have a sibling. Didn’t he want a son? Hank laughed when I asked him that. He said he didn’t care, that he already had two daughters, he didn’t need more children.

I couldn’t stop thinking about it, though. Every month, it was like my own body had betrayed me when I saw the blood. I made a doctor’s appointment so I could find out if something was wrong with me. But nothing. No one had an answer to why I’d been able to get pregnant once but I couldn’t get pregnant again. The doctor told me to relax, that I was too stressed. Maybe I should quit my job and stay home. Like I was some sort of delicate thing.

Hank didn’t complain at first because I wanted to have sex all the time. I figured the more sex, the better the chances I’d get pregnant. I bought a kit that would tell me when I’d be ovulating, and I showed up in his office in the middle of the day and fucked him on his desk with the door locked.
