THE MOMENT
John cradled Majesty's limp body as the spectacle finished playing out before him.
"Hey, we won," John said. He spoke it quietly as if afraid of disturbing the moment. He didn't know when he'd get to hold his wife again like this. He never took any moment with her for granted; not even this one. The battle was fought harder than John expected; but, it did not last longer than they expected. Majesty was pregnant and she'd been getting tired earlier these days. Still, John knew that they couldn't spend the whole night on the couch.
"Wake up," he jostled her gently. "Wake up, we won...," he said.
"mmhm?" She stirred but did not sit up right away.
"The Valkyries beat CyberRiot, we won the bet," John said.
"That's nice, honey" Majesty readjusted herself without standing up. "Watch something else, I'm comfortable," she said.
"Sure thing, love," John smiled as he started channel surfing. He reevaluated his previous thoughts; maybe they could spend the whole night on the couch.
