One more thing...

[Riven]

He looked over at her as he set his chopsticks down, now holding her one lone hand, cupping it with both of his hands as he showed a small smile, "More then anything in the world Elizabeth..."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly, leaning forward and kissing him softly.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he gently returned the kiss, tightly holding her hand.

 

[No More Pretending]

The woman pulled away and gave him a small smile. "One day... We will make the best family ever."

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he reassuringly squeezed her hand, "I promise..."

 

[No More Pretending]

She giggled, smiling as she went back to her food.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he gently kissed her cheek and returned to eating, now a bright smile on his face.

 

[No More Pretending]

The woman boxed up the empty plates. "I'll see you later, alright dear?" She asked, beautiful lips pulling into a smile once more.

 

[Riven]

He stood up and turned her so she faced him, pulling her close to him as he wrapped his arms around her waist, smiling. "Not without a little goodbye kiss", he said softly as he chuckled a little.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly and caressed his cheek gently, leaning up to kiss him gently.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he leaned down and touched his face to hers, kissing her deeply as he held to her tightly, gently feeling her back.

 

[No More Pretending]

She pulled away, smiling softly. "Amazing like always..." She purred.

 

[Riven]

"You speak for both of us", he replied with a soft chuckle as he gently kissed her forehead.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and backed out of his arms, walking out after saying goodbye once again. The woman stopped in the park and sat beneath the oak that they had carved their names into, hand on her stomach as she thought.

 

[Riven]

He smiled and let out a relaxed sigh as he sat back at his desk, now that he knows she would accept his "gift", he was now even more excited for his personalized order to ship in.

 

[No More Pretending]

She closed her eyes and listened to the children laughing. "Ah... One day that will be you and me..." She whispered to herself and the developing child. "You can't hear me yet..."

 

[Riven]

He turned around to face his aquarium and pulled out his can of fish flakes, dropping some into the tank with still, a bright smile on his face.

 

[No More Pretending]

Elizabeth stayed in the park for hours, losing all track of time as she enjoyed the scenery and watched the children, hopeful for her future.

 

[Riven]

On his way home he caught sight of Elizabeth in the park, he smiled as he parked the car and walked over to her. "Hey love..", he said in a low whisper.

 

[No More Pretending]

She looked over at him. "Hey~" she purred.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he sat beside her and gently stroked through her hair, "Sitting by the old Oak I see..."

 

[No More Pretending]

She nodded, looking at him. "I walked by and decided that I needed a sense of nostalgia in my day."

 

[Riven]

He smiled and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close to him, "Gives more then enough Nostalgia..."

 

[No More Pretending]

The woman smiled happily.

 

[Riven]

He gently kissed her cheek as he let out a relaxed sigh.
