One more thing...

[Riven]

He reached a hand over and gently took hers, caressing the back of her hand with his thumb, "Sorry to hear that love, surely soon you'll be alright."

 

[No More Pretending]

She squeezed his hand tightly as another contraction hit.

 

[Riven]

He tightly returned the squeeze as he lifted her hand and gave the back of her hand a gentle kiss.

 

[No More Pretending]

"I deserve a fucking medal after this..."

 

[Riven]

"Sure a kiss and a bottle of champagne isn't enough babe?", he asked jokingly, "Nothing better than a romantic date in moonlight with champagne when this is over."

 

[No More Pretending]

"We won't have time for that the first night, baby... We have two babies that are gonna cry.

 

[Riven]

"Don't worry bout it deary, I'll make sure that we make it work", he replied with a soft smile, leaning over to kiss her forehead.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled brightly.

 

[Riven]

He let out a soft chuckle as he sat back down and gently caressed her stomach, rubbing it gently.

 

[No More Pretending]

She winced as another contraction hit. "Could you please go get the nurse?"

 

[Riven]

He pulled his hand back away from her reaction, "Oh, Sorry dear.. Of course." He walked over to the phone and called the main office for a nurse, to which the front office replied one will be in arrival momentarily.

 

[No More Pretending]

She was practicing the breathing. "Lord..."

 

[Riven]

The nurse knocked, to which Aiden replied with a come in before the nurse came in and walked to Elizabeth's bedside to assist anything she needed.

 

[No More Pretending]

"H-how much longer?" She asked the nurse. "Until I'm ready to deliver?"

 

[Riven]

"Most likely a day to three", the nurse replied, examining her stomach, "They seem to be perfectly fine though for the best of things."

 

[No More Pretending]

"I'm having contractions NOW!" She exclaimed. "How am I having contractions if I'm not having them for DAYS...?"

 

[Riven]

"Oh I see I see, let's see.. Explain what kind of pains and where the pains are during the contractions if you please", the nurse replied quickly as she continued to examine her stomach.

 

[Riven]

Aiden remained quiet as he watched the nurse measure and ask questions.
