Hawk POV  - 18
After I finish training we go home and I punish her in bed for her words earlier.  The next day when we are just together I remember something I wanted to ask.
-Ava, baby.
Ava-Hmm.
-What was it you wanted to ask me yesterday? I never let you finish asking.
Ava-You mean the kiss.
-Yeah.
Ava-Well, that was, I want to marry you if you agree.
She blushes hard as she avoids me in all aspects. There is a weird silence between her shame and my brain processing what she has said. Married, I want to but still, in all the ways I could being this topic up I never thought she would ask me first. I had ideas on how to bring it up but never like this.
-Yeah.
Ava-What?
-Yeah, I yes, I mean I do. Well, this is not how I thought it would happen but it might as well happen.
Ava-Really?
-Yeah. So, we have to get the rings and then we go to the court.
Ava-Can we get matching rings. Or not as long as we like them it doesn't really matter.
-I like blue but simple.
Ava-I want a small design. I like big but wearing big is ugly. Small.
We go to the jewelry and as we go we find many we like but not that good. We go to a few before we stop to eat.
Ava-I didn't consider how hard it can be.
-That means we're doing it right. Good things take time and effort. Besides, I have an idea to make things easy.
Ava-Should be easier than any since is just us but still.
-I'm making a contrast of weddings just in case. Today we will find the rings for the legal ceremony and then we start saving for the family party wedding.
Ava-How much we got?
-Today we get a hundred dollars plus the rings. I'll pay for the rings.
Ava-Then I'll pay for the rest but we have to find those rings.
-We will.
I give her a quick kiss before we leave to keep looking for rings. The search eventually ends after a few weeks time at last. She shifts barely containing her happiness to a decent public behavior but I still enjoy it.
Once I pay the rings she just can't wait to get married so we do.. On the way home she looks at her ring joyfully.
-Do you like it?
Ava-I love it. This is a physical show of our love. A reminder, a symbol. I love you so much.
-I love you too.
I grab her hand and kiss it. We hold hands for a while before she squirms out of it.
Ava-Stop.
-What?
Ava-Stop the car!
Her yelling stuns me so I slow down.
Ava-Faster.
I pull to the side of the highway to stop but she gets out before I can stop completely.
-Ava!
I get out quickly and I run to her side.
-Ava.
Ava-Don't look.
-We just got married. In sickness and in health, right?
I hold her shoulder rubbing her back as she keeps puking on the grass. When she's done she lays on her knees while I lean at her side.
-Better?
She makes a groggy face making me laugh softly.
-Come on, let's go home so you can rest.
Ava-Ok.
Her short answer leaves me more worried than before as she's just too quiet. Even when she's relaxed she talks about small details and the first thing that comes to mind. This time she doesn't so I worry when she leans back on her seat covering her eyes. I stop by the pharmacy to buy some medicine for her. I buy one for allergy, stomach, cold and a few other things too for her.

When we get home I carry her to bed and prepare a warm bath for her. I pour some vanilla scent on it before I get her.
-Ava. I'm bathing you.
She smiles weakly.
Ava-I like this bed.
-You'll be back. Come on.
In the bathroom I use my swimming suit to bathe her.
Ava-Vanilla. Is a nice smell.
-Feel better?
Ava-Nausea is gone. My head hurts.
-I bought some medicine.
Ava-Wich ones you bought. Tell me all you bought.
-I bought you some more feminine things of those. Vanilla candles and medicine for the cold, the stomach and allergy.
Ava-Allergy?
-Common.
Ava-Did you buy something else?
-Yeah.
She looks at me waiting to hear it so I tell her.
-I got the cheap pregnancy tests.
That gets her full attention as she sits up getting me wet.
Ava-Why?
-Well, my dad says that anything health related when sex happens should be checked. Std for guys and pregnancies for women are the top suspects.
Ava-How can we raise a baby now? Is too soon.
-True but we can choose to keep it or not.
Ava-Is hard alone but we're together now. Let me do the test. Please.
I go outside the door to wait, it seems like the longest wait until she finally opens the door.
-And?
Ava-Yes.
-Yes?
Ava-Yes.
-We have to buy the stuff and clothes and diapers.
Ava-But I want you to bathe me.
I look at her for a moment before she pulls me inside. I finish bathing her so we can sleep. The only problem is that she won't let me sleep.
Ava-Can you imagine? How will we name our baby?  Do you want a girl or a boy?
-Sleep.
Ava-Come on, tell me.
-I want one of each so I expect twins inside of you. Now sleep and keep both of you healthy.
Ava-I don't want to sleep.
She yawns and I cuddle her and love her until she falls asleep and me afterwards.
Ethan POV  - Age - 26
I get home, I'm living with my dad until my wife gives birth. He helps with the six kids while mom helps my wife. It gives them happiness and currently they're helping with all of the kids from my other siblings. Including myself, 8 out of 21 siblings have 31 grandchildren. In a few weeks that number will change. I get pulled from my thoughts.
Be-Ethan, is that you?
-I'm coming.
Be-Bring me some ice to chew.
I sigh but go straight to the kitchen and as usual I find her on the living room with my mom.
Ro-Baby boy. You look good.
-You're the same mother I remember.
Ro-Ethan.
-You're also growing from mother to super mother. As you say, we grow as we live.
I sit by my wife cuddling her belly for a while. They speak between themselves until mom seems to remember something.
Ro-Ari will have a special interview today. If I don't put a reminder on it I would have forgotten.
She turns on the TV to a different channel and I sit up straight with Bella cuddling me this time.
-What's the interview about?
Ro-I don't know. He only said he was doing an interview. Plain and simple.
-There he is.
TVHost-Welcome to Special Report Ari, is good to have you here.
Ari-I'm not that special.
TV-Tell me, why are you dressed like that? That's quite a look.
He puts a pose before he twirls and sits in a swift motion.
Ari-Is nothing special really. I just felt like using this. Simple but showy enough.
TV-I dare say it matches your personality very well.
Ari-I guess it does.

TV-So, why did you took on this interview? You never give interviews or comment on anything. The public loves your mystery and now, today, they're eager to know all about you. So, why are you doing this interview?
Ari-Because I felt like it.
The host looks at him as the public laughs before he grabs at himself and he sits back like Ari.
TV-Cryptic answers. You really are interesting. Let's see, our next question will be a comment. Tell us a hobby of yours.
Ari-I used to braid my sisters's hair while she spoke about anything and everything.
TV-How many sisters do you have?
Ari-Let's see. If my memory works I think 14.
TV-14? Do you have any brothers, I guess not.
Ari-6 brothers.
TV-Do you really have 20 siblings?
Ari-Yes.
TV-I bet they were quite the chaotic house.
Ari-Quite loud. I like my privacy, love it but I still miss them.
TV-Who are you amongst all your siblings?
Ari-I'm the 12 son and, think, the eight pregnancy.
The host thinks for a while before he speaks again.
TV-How many of them were multiple pregnancies?
Ari-Six out of twelve.
TV-Six out of twelve. How were you born?
Ari-I'm a triplet for two sisters.
TV-Do they look like you?
Ari-Less body, more beauty.
TV-Why would they look better? You're the model.
Ari-Because they're women. No matter how handsome a guy is if a woman comes he'll always be overshadowed by her beauty.
TV-You sound like a guy who's in love or has been. Do you have a girlfriend at the moment?
This question throws him into a loop as he grabs his head nervous.
Ari-Yes I do. She's.......my perfect match.
TV-Should we expect a wedding soon?
Ari-Not in the way you're thinking about but yes.
TV-Alright then, so, you're a model. Do you model for her?
Ari-Do you model for your wife?
TV-Too intimate of....wait..........so, the guys tell me your girlfriend is on the phone. She doesn't care about the interview as long as you answer her.
Ari-I don't mind if I'm allowed.
TV-Bring him the phone.
We watch how a crew member hands the phone to Ari and he answers nervously.
Ari-Why are you calling?
He listens to her bright red before he turns to the camera as he hangs up.
Ari-Sorry about that.
TV-Why did she call you?
Ari-She finally decided what she wants for dinner. I'll bring it over after the interview.
TV-Why won't she go herself?
Ari-She's home resting. My life is so organized that she's just random and happy. She's passionate, always full of ideas and I liked that.
TV-Do you braid her hair?
Ari-And more.
TV-What about your work?
Mom turns off the TV at that point.

Ro-If only he was here.
-He lives on the road or plane and hotels. I didn't realize his girlfriend was a serious thing.
Ro-He told you?
-It slipped and when I asked he dismissed it as irrelevant.
Be-Ethan.
-Hmm.
Be-Let's go to bed. I want a massage.
Ari POV - 24
I arrive home after the interview with my girlfriend's cravings. She's still asleep so I wake her.
-Darling, baby, wake up. I'm home.
She twists on the bed but she refuses to open her eyes.
-I got your food.
So-Strawberries.
-Yes.
So-With frosting and chocolate sprinkles and foam.
-Yes.
So-Together with sliced strawberries on the sides.
-Yes. Look.
She leans up on her side and I smile at her.
-Here.
I feed her each bite until she's finished.
-I didn't like the circumstances of your call.
So-I imagined. I had a fight with myself until I chose.
-Don't worry much. I'm going to shower to sleep.
So-No, just get in. I been waiting for you.
-But..........
I struggle to avoid her as she pulls me on the bed with her.
-At least let me take the clothes off.
She let's go but I can feel her touching me each time. I don't cuddle her, instead she finds a comfortable position how to sleep while cuddling me with her pregnant belly. So we sleep together and happy.

To be continued..........................
