"I don't know... I think you've just fallen in love with your kids." She grinned at him, pretty sure his new-found affection was more for the babies than herself but happy to take the compliment anyway. |

"A little bit... But what is going on inside you right now..." he paused for a moment and kissed her neck. "Creating life from nothing. It is nothing short of a miracle and because you are the one who is building this miracle..." he paused again, his other hand moved over to rub her stomach too. "That makes you even more beautiful and amazing." |

"You did help a little with that," she reminded him humorously. "Other than that... I guess I can't argue with your logic. And I have to admit... it does make me feel a little bit better hearing you say it. Because I'm pretty sure I look like a wreck most days." She chuckled a little at her own expense, freeing one hand from her tea cup to run her fingers through her hair, which was much wilder than usual lately. "But it's not just that. I don't claim to be a good person because really... I'm not. At least, I wasn't." |

"Maybe not, but I don't care about that. I have seen the person you might become. The good version and the tragic version. Both love me with all their heart and one of them has me to love her back. So there is no way that you would slip from the path that would make me love you any less." he leaned down and gave her growing belly a gentle kiss. |

"You're very sweet, but I wasn't finished. It sounds silly, but you changed me more than I changed you. I didn't have anyone to care about when I came here. I think the only person I really talked to for a long time was Ari, and that was only because she was my neighbor. I'm still not a social butterfly, but somehow being with you made me a little less socially inept." |

"Well..." he grinned at her. "You had someone ones... So you must have had some social life before." he teased. "But if I help, I am glad." |

"More than once!" she protested, giggling a little. "Not like this. I still didn't hang out in social places unless I had to. Now I do... and you don't know it, but before we even started dating, you did a lot to restore my confidence. I really didn't have any left when I left Earth." |

That piece of information surprised him. "Before we dated..." |

"The day you gave me the theta wave blocker - that's had a huge impact all by itself, but it's not what I'm talking about. You saw how tired I was and offered me the tank for a while. I showed you one scar on my wrist, but I didn't show you the rest of them. Aglaia saw them - probably even took a scan of them - but I know she never showed them to you. I mean, you knew about one because you saw the damage it had done to the tattoo on my side, but the rest? You have no idea. But you fixed them." |

He smiled at her. "I am glad I could grant you some closure. Maybe you should have your tattooes filled when our little angels come to the world." |

"I had it fixed already. You didn't notice?" She shifted slightly so he could see the 'repaired' tattoo over her ribs. "Had to have the rest of it darkened because the artist didn't have dark gray, only black. I liked it better with the gray, but... well. There's a shortage of tattoo artists here." |

"Hmm. I suppose your face has pulled all the attention." he grinned as he ran his hand over the tattoo. "I wonder if I should accidentally slip with my hand..." he grinned. |

"It wouldn't be an accident now that you've told me you're planning it." She smirked at him, knowing full well it wouldn't have been an accident even if he hadn't said anything. "It's a Celtic triple spiral... has different meanings depending on who you ask. The original artist called it a feminine power symbol... the second said it was a symbol of the Holy Trinity." |

"So an earth tattoo huh?" he looked at it, now that he looked closely at it, he noticed a faint discoloration on the skin on the outside arch of her left breast. "What's that?" he asked and pointed at it. |

"Well I did grow up there. What are you looking at?" The mark he'd spotted was difficult to see, but she followed the line of his pointing finger and managed to get a look at it. "Oh that... that's a birthmark. It used to be darker, but it faded after the DNA grafts. I don't know why... and I don't know why it's getting darker again either." |
