Kate smiled at Wills as he frowned at the assortment of ingredients, bowls and pans littered around the tiny kitchen of their London flat. She stuck out her bottom lip and gave him her absolute best pout. "But you promised, dear," she whined.
"Yeah, well, I never thought we would actually manage to pull it off. I mean it was easy enough to plan our wedding to coincide with our famous name sakes', but who would have thunk we could manage to pull this one off too," he said as he rubbed her protruding tummy.
"Yeah, well, a promise is a promise, William Thomas Thacker. And you said that if our first baby was due within a week of theirs that you would learn to make Nana Quarters famous homemade biscuits just for me. And serve them to me in bed every morning for a week," she tried to soften the blow with a kiss. Her breast that had blossomed from a modest B-cup to a full D brushed against the side of his arm and he groaned aloud.
"All right, let's get on with it then," he moaned as she began to measure two cups of unbleached all-purpose flour. She sat the bag aside for dusting the counter tops when it was time to roll them out.
"This is the complicated part, so listen carefully," she put two small cans on the counter top along with the container of salt. Beginning with the salt, she measured it carefully using spoons. "One teaspoon salt. Teaspoon, that's the little one, not the big one. Got that?" She poured the salt into the spoon and added it to the flour.
William nodded, looking bored. She then picked up the other two containers. "This one is baking powder. You need one of the big ones, a tablespoon of this."
"Yeah, yeah, baking powder, one tablespoon," he muttered. "Just write it all down will you. I don't get the point of all this."
She laughed as she measured out the white powder and put it in the bowl with the flour and salt, "Because I watched you try to put the baby's cot together and I have driven around France with you. When it comes to directions and maps, you don't read them. So you will learn how to make them the same way that Nana Quarter taught me, by doing."
"I never got it. Why do you call the woman Nana Quarter? I thought your mother's maiden name was Porter."
"It is, but when you are three, and have trouble talking it can come out funny." She shrugged her shoulders, "It just sort of stuck. Everyone thought it was so funny. But no more distracting me." She said picking up the other container.
"This one is baking soda. You need just one-quarter of a teaspoon of it. Or as Nana Quarter called it, a pinch." She demonstrated by picking up just a small quantity between her fingers and throwing it on top of the growing pile of dry ingredients.
"Powder. Soda. Does it really matter?" he asked.
"Only about as much as neutrons and electrons," she said using an analogy she knew her physicist husband would understand. "Think of cooking as chemistry, Wills. You have to add just the right chemicals in the right quantities or things go BOOM," she screamed.
He jumped at the loud noise, then gave her a nasty look. "I prefer your biology lessons, dearest. Chemistry bores me" he huffed.
She shook her head, "You really should think about something other than quarks and god-particles, Wills."
He rubbed his half hard cock against her arse and his hands drew circles on her enlarged abdomen. "Oh, trust me, Katie, I do. I do," he nibbled the side of her neck before tweaking her nipples. This time she was the one to jump. Her breasts had not only grown in size but in sensitivity as well.
She shooed his hands away and turned back to the task at hand. "You aren't getting out of this one, so easily, dear."
She reached across and picked up a sieve, pouring the flour mixture into it. She held it over another bowl and began to turn the handle, the flour slowly spilling out the bottom into the bowl.
"What's that?" he asked.
"It's called a sieve. It's for mixing the dry ingredients evenly and getting the lumps out." Her lips curled up in a snarky grin, "Think of it as a mini-super-collider." His laughter caressed her skin, causing her nipples to pebble inside her bra as surely as his caress had moments before.
She could tell that Wills was losing attention already. As the last of the flour emptied into the bowl, she turned the sieve upside down, on top of his blond head. "Hey, what did you do that for?"
"Because you weren't paying attention," she said as she grabbed another handful from the open bag and threw it at him.
He grabbed her hands and they wrestled playfully for a moment. He wrapped his arm about her waist, well, what had once been her waist anyway, now it was nothing more than the top of her burgeoning womb just below her full breasts. He reached behind him and grabbed his own handful of flour, spreading it over the front of her maternity jeans.
"Hey, what did you do that for?" she asked with a frown.
"You know what they say about rolling the fat lady in flour and looking for the wet spot? I'm just seeing if it works with pregnant ones too," he teased as he ran his hand down between her thighs.
