Welcome to Gaia! ::

He looked away for a moment, Mina was spot on. They would have to go and do that, wouldn't they. Faris lowered enough to kiss her forehead. "I don't know, you're a tough act to follow Mina, I'm having trouble keeping up with you. You have made life interesting though." He teased, he then kissed her proper, on the lip passionately.

"Hmm?" Was all he muttered, confused to why she broke off from their kiss so quickly. With the way she was blushing, he began trying to piece two and two together. "If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, I'm not quite sure myself. That and I don't know how I feel about this, we're guests in someone's home, and we kind of have company of our own." He answered, for the latter he drummed on her belly for emphasis.

Eric shook his head, he did not want her to think that way at all. "Hey, shouldn't had led you on, not that I wouldn't like to. I just thought you deserved more than a kiss on the cheek." He replied with a smile, he rose up and leaned against the head board. He lifted the head of his lover to meet his face and kissed her again, just like before.

When they broke away, Eric looked down to his lap and gave Mina's belly a short rubbing before wrapping his arms around her and embracing her with another kiss. He drew her in closer, just because they weren't going to get physical, didn't mean they could not find other forms of intimacy. He was fine with this, seemed Mina was too...

The Next Day (6th)

The next day, Mina's hips widened for the third and final time. Her little girl didn't squirm around as much, having chose to sleep in this time around. Much like her still sleeping father. That, and she had successfully managed to pull her very first midnight craving on Mina and an unfortunate Eric.

A particular item glistend in the sunlight, Eric's locket. It was opened as he had looked at it before going to be himself, revealing the picture of his previous love.

(I cannot stress how long I meant to make a plot point and kept forgetting to add the darn thing to my posts. I had a sticky note taped to my Laptop. Kid you not.)

Nina shifted slowly, akin to a yawn and a stretch. She gave her mother a few well placed kicks to the bladder before drifting back to a half hearted slumber.

Eric squinted his eyes a bit after a few minutes and blinked a few times to try and wake himself up. He stretched, and when he fully opened his eyes, he saw Mina with his locket. "Had to see her eventually, I suppose." He muttered, so much for a morning beautiful and a kiss.

"Her name was Lorene, I guess you can call her my Ex. We were escaping to Duon together, I lost her on the way." Eric leaned over and clasped his hands over Mina's, closing the locket. "She's special to me, Lorene. But she would had wanted me to move on, I didn't want to but, you made me think otherwise. Can't say I made a bad choice for moving on." He answered Mina with weak smile. He'd be lying if from time to time he missed her and wished he could save her, but he did love Mina. Honest to goodness.

Eric blinked his eyes at her suggestion. More so than he was wondering if she wanted him to get rid of the locket. "I'm not sure I understand why. You would do that? Wouldn't you want something more special for your child. You didn't even know this woman, Mina."
