One more thing...

[No More Pretending]

She finished eating and brushed her teeth before laying down.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he turned over to face her, wrapping her in his arms.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled.

 

[Riven]

He chuckled softly as he returned to sleep peacefully, snoring quietly.

 

[No More Pretending]

She fell asleep.

 

[Riven]

After a while, Aiden stirred a bit, sitting up.

 

[No More Pretending]

The woman woke up and looked at him.

 

[Riven]

He let out a sigh as he covered his face, sweat covering his forehead.

 

[No More Pretending]

"You feeling sick?" She asked.

 

[Riven]

He shook his head, "No... no just a nightmare..."

 

[No More Pretending]

"What was it about?" She asked quietly.

 

[Riven]

He let out a sigh as he turned over and hugged her tightly, "I lost you..."

 

[No More Pretending]

She hugged him. "Never.." She whispered.


(What if Aiden gets really stressed at work one day and snaps at Elizabeth and she, being a hormonal pregnant woman, gets in a verbal fight with him?)

 

[Riven]

He sighed as he held onto her.


(God I can't do that with me starting, maybe the other way around?)

 

[No More Pretending]

(Yeah.)


She smiled.

 

[Riven]

He let out a sigh as he fell back onto the bed, wiping his face.

 

[No More Pretending]

She kissed his cheek. "Get some more rest, okay."

 

[Riven]

"Yeah...", he took a deep breath as he closed his eyes slowly, falling back to sleep.

 

[No More Pretending]

She closed her eyes and sighed, trying to go back to sleep.

 

[Riven]

He continued to sleep as he groaned a bit, still sleeping.

 

[No More Pretending]

She opened her eyes, wondering what he was dreaming about that got him so noisy.

 

[Riven]

He held onto the bed tightly with a grip as a small tear slipped out of his eye, groaning as he gritted his teeth as he clenched his eyes together.

 

[No More Pretending]

She shook him awake gently.

 

[Riven]

"Gah!", he awoke suddenly, taking deep breaths as he clenched his chest.

 

[No More Pretending]

She hugged him tightly. "Are you okay?!"
