One more thing...

[Riven]

He smiled and gave a soft chuckle, "I'm glad someone else sees it my way.."

 

[No More Pretending]

She giggled, grinning at him happily. "I am too," the redhead responded.

 

[Riven]

He smiled and chuckled softly as he kissed her neck again, gently rubbing her back comfortably.

 

[No More Pretending]

Elizabeth closed her eyes and savored his touch.

 

[Riven]

He smiled softly, "You truly are beautiful, you know that?"

 

[No More Pretending]

She blushed brightly, smiling softly. "Thank you, Aiden... You really are very handsome yourself..."

 

[Riven]

"Heh, handsome is an overstatement when you are around..", he replied with his usual smile.

 

[No More Pretending]

She kissed his cheek. "No... I think we compliment each other."

 

[Riven]

He smiled and gently returned the kiss, "Fair enough.."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly. "So, I have an OB/GYN appointment at noon. Want to come?"

 

[Riven]

He smiled and nodded kindly, "I'd be glad to, will the Art Museum be before or after."

 

[No More Pretending]

"We should go afterwards."

 

[Riven]

He smiled and nodded as he sat up, "After you my lady.."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and tossed a t-shirt and jeans on.

 

[Riven]

He switched to his own pair of t shirts and jeans.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled.

 

[Riven]

He smiled to her in return as well.

 

[No More Pretending]

Elizabeth held his hand after getting out of the car in front of the hospital. She walked into the wing that the correct office was. "Mrs. Smith?" She heard a female ask as she walked in.


"I guess we're here just in time, huh, Aiden?"

 

[Riven]

He smiled and nodded as he gently squeezed her hand, "Like I've always said, I've always had a sense of irony, but it seems being with me has made it rub off on you." He chuckled a little as he wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close to him gently.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and walked with him to her doctor.


"So I heard that you are expecting," she said with a smile as Elizabeth nodded. "Then let's get a couple tests out of the way..." Saying this, the doctor beckoned for them to follow her into the office.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he followed beside her, holding her hand tightly, a little excited to see what would they have in store.

 

[No More Pretending]

First, the doctor had Elizabeth lay down on the table. She lifted her shirt up and smeared a clear jelly over a small area of skin, turning on a monitor and a little apparatus that she pressed against the skin that looked like a little sensor. A little image appeared on the monitor.


"Look at that," the doctor said, pointing to the screen. "There's the head. You're at about ten weeks... And they seem to be developing perfectly."


Elizabeth beamed at the screen, holding Aiden's hand.

 

[Riven]

He gently squeezed Elizabeth's hand a little tighter as his eyes widened and he cupped his ear with his other hand, "One more time? D-did I hear that correctly? I heard 'They' ?"

 

[No More Pretending]

The doctor laughed a bit. "Yes. You did hear correctly, your lovely girl here is pregnant with twins."

 

[Riven]

Aiden didn't say anything the next few seconds, all he did was simply smile brightly and leaned down as he kissed her hand and her cheek gently.
