One more thing...

[No More Pretending]

Elizabeth smiled brightly at him. "That's a surprise..." She murmured softly.

 

[Riven]

He chuckled a bit, "Sorry for the overreaction."

 

[No More Pretending]

She giggled. "It's fine! At least you didn't faint."

 

[Riven]

He smiles and laughs, "Let's just say I was hoping for twins."

 

[No More Pretending]

"You were?" She asked.

 

[Riven]

He nodded, "Yes, I was.."

 

[No More Pretending]

"If you don't mind my asking, Why are you hoping for twins?"

 

[Riven]

He shrugged, "I don't know, perhaps having 2 kids is the closest I see to a perfect family.."

 

[No More Pretending]

She giggled. "Well, our family is going to have a rough beginning... Two kids are going to be trouble."

 

[Riven]

He smiled softly as he leaned over and kissed her cheek again, "We'll make it through, we always do.."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and nodded. "I know we will."

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he gently squeezed her hand again, gently rubbing her hand with his thumb. He looks back over to the doctor, "That's it doc? How much time we got left?"

 

[No More Pretending]

The doctor stood. "I'd like to run some tests involving the placenta and amniotic fluid."

 

[Riven]

He nodded as he stood up, "She's all yours, should I step out?"

 

[No More Pretending]

The doctor nodded and ushered him out quickly before beginning to run several tests.

 

[Riven]

He sat outside the room as he pulled out his cellphone, deciding to read some articles.

 

[No More Pretending]

Elizabeth walked out of the room afterwards. "Those tests aren't fun at all..."

 

[Riven]

"They hurt?", he asked as he put his phone away and sat up, gently feeling her stomach.

 

[No More Pretending]

"Well yeah. They have to go in with a needle to get the amniotic fluid and such... Not fun at all, but at least they can make sure the environment is safe for the babies."

 

[Riven]

He nods as he gently takes her hand, "As long as you and the babies are safe, I won't be worried.."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and nodded, kissing his cheek.

 

[Riven]

He chuckled softly, "So, to the art museum then?"

 

[No More Pretending]

She nodded. "Yes please!"

 

[Riven]

He laughed at her beaming reaction as he did a joke of a bow, "Well madam, your carriage awaits."

 

[No More Pretending]

She let out a giggle. "Thank you, my dear.
