A Love Timeless

Chapter 9
“Mattson, are you sitting down, love?”
“Yes. Is everything okay?” Concern was evident in his voice over the phone, and Corinne smiled to herself.
“Everything is great! You’re going to be a father!”
CRACKTHUMPSLIDE!
“Mattson? You okay? Mattson? Hello?”
More fumbling sounds, then the breathless sound of her husband came back on the line.
“I dropped the phone. Are you certain?”
“Yes. The doctor did the test earlier today after the five tests I took at home came up positive a few days ago. Are you okay?”
“Yes! I am overjoyed! I can’t wait to be a father! Oh my god, this is amazing! I love you, Cory!”
Tears came to Corinne’s eyes. She’d never believed she could ever be this happy.
Conversation continued for a while before Corinne came back to the topic of the day.
“How goes the editing?”
“Great! I think we will wrap it up this week. Can’t wait to see how it looks on the screen.” His enthusiasm was doubled now that he knew he was going to be a father.
“Yeah, me either. I can’t believe we shot the entire thing in nine days. How long will it end up being?”
“I think it will finish up right at around one hundred and twelve minutes including credits, which won’t be much. ‘Director, Anonymous. Producer, Anonymous. Every off-camera role, Anonymous.’”
“Okay, that works, Mattson.”
“Yeah, I don’t know how we would fill more than that, unless we wanted to delve deeper in to the character histories. That is a different project, though, unless you want to build it into this.”
“Naw, not really. I like what we’re doing. Hey, we will be done with post-production in time for Sundance, right?”
“Yeah, with a few weeks to spare. You still want to get it shown there?”
“Definitely, me boy. Definitely.”
“Okay. Wow. You’re pregnant. I love it. Love it! I can’t wait to be a father!”
“I know. I can’t wait either!”
“Wait, you can’t wait to be a father? That will get a little awkward, Cory. I mean, that role is already taken, unless you want to have us both get sex-change operations. I mean, I know I told you I would do anything for you, but I will have to get my nerve up for that one. That will take a while.”
