For a moment, he wrestled with himself, and then he launched himself at her, tackling her in a hug. "That's great!" he said, squeezing her before realizing that maybe that wasn't the best course of action given her feeling sick. He kissed her forehead before pulling back to smile at her, his eyes sparkling. "But you know this means we need to get married~"

Red gasped in surprise then laughed at his happiness.
"Im happy you feel that way," she murmured and kissed him. "I know," she added.
Putting her arms around Arien's neck, she kissed him deeply. Red was so happy that he was excited about this. It made her feel alot better about it, knowing he would be there for her.

"So, it's mine, right?" Arien asked after a moment, a wicked grin crossing his face. Not that he would have doubted Red; she didn't strike him as that kind of woman--that, and he just wanted to see her reaction.

Red scowled and huffed letting go of Arien. "Yes its yours!" she snapped and muttered under her breath.
Moving away from Arien, she layed down and pulled a blanket over herself.
That idiot.. she thought angrily.

"What? What'd I do?" Arien tried to snuggle up closer to her. "You know I'm kidding." A pause. "You're not angry, are you?"

Red let him snuggle closer to her and she relaxed slightly. "I am angry. That was a mean joke," she huffed quietly.
Putting a hand on her stomach for a second, she smiled.

"I'm sorry," he said. Gently trailing his hand down her arm to rest it over hers on her stomach, he kissed her softly. "I am excited, you know."

Outside the tent, Bella pricked her ears towards the tent. She wagged her tail briefly, hearing Arien's excited tone

Red smiled and kissed back softly. Looking into Arien's eyes for a second, she snuggled into him. "I know," she murmured.

Nex nuzzled Bella's neck and purred. "Red's pregnant," he whispered to her.

Arien smiled, feeling good about the future. "I guess this means we need to find a place to settle down within the next six months?" Camping and traveling would be impossible for Red once she started getting near her due date. "Do you have any place in mind? A dream home of sorts?"

Bella wagged her tail and leaned back against Nex. She knew and she was happy.

"I liked my old home alot.." Red murmured.
She thought about how Ash destroyed it and sighed. Closing her eyes, she put her head on his chest.

Nex groomed Bella gently and purred lovingly.

Arien gently rubbed Red's back and shoulders. "We can rebuild it if you want," he offered. "It was only flooded. Wait for the mud to dry, scrape most of the dirt away, and voila! A new floor awaits you."

Bella growled happily and leaned into the grooming Nex gave her.

Red smiled and lightly ran her hand down Arien's chest. "Yes we could. Do you mind living there?" she asked.

Nex finished grooming her several minutes later and nuzzled her cheek.

"I'd be happy anywhere so long as I was with you," Arien said. "And it was--is--will be a nice place once we clean it up." He began to draw a spiral on Red's back. "Shall we start in the morning? Or wait until we get married?"

Bella nuzzled back and then began to wash one of Nex's large paws.

"I think we should start as soon as we can, because the closer my due date gets. The less i will be able to do," Red explained and lightly drew a random pattern on Arien's stomach with her finger tip.
There was alot to be done before they could get married really. They had to first fix up the house. Then add on to the house in order to have a room for the baby.

Nex purred and closed his eyes mostly but left them slitted open.

Arien nodded and settled himself. "At the same time, you shouldn't push yourself so hard even before you're due." The last thing he wanted was for her to lose the baby by working too hard. He smiled and chuckled softly. "I can imagine Nex and Neo would love to babysit."

Bella sighed and finished washing Nex's paw, turning instead to nuzzle his neck.

"Oh Neo would love it. Nex would be ok with it until the baby started climbing all over him. Which im only assuming he or she would do. I'll help as much as i can though," Red replied quietly and started to get sleepy.
She knew what Arien was thinking when he said he didnt want her to push herself too hard. The doctor at the medical place in town had said she would loose the baby if she pushed herself too hard before the baby was born.

Nex purred and layed on his side, giving Bella space to move closer if she wanted to.

Arien chuckled and wrapped his arms around Red. Holding her close, holding his soon-to-be-child close. He wondered briefly whether his son or daughter would have magic and then promptly discarded the idea. He refused to turn out like his father or his brothers.

"Love you, Red." He murmured, closing his eyes with a sigh.

Bella snuggled closer to Nex, laying her head on his neck when he leaned back.

"I love you too Arien," Red murmured before falling asleep.
Red didnt want to pass on her power to her child. Not at all, she could only hope that the child didnt inherit it.

Nex purred rythmically and softly. He fell asleep, content with Bella near him. Neo slept a little ways away from the two love birds, Patch snuggled close into him.

Morning found Arien awake and making breakfast. Excitement had him up first thing, which was a rarity. And he peeked into the tent to check on Red.

Bella seemed content to sleep by the tigers, for which Arien was happy. It meant she could get along with other animals and that she wouldn't be anxious to leave.

Bella saw him looking at her and she pricked her ears up, tail wagging gently before she got up and padded over to him, shoving her head under his arm and toppling him over. She then proceeded to sit on him and wash his face with her tongue--which he didn't mind all that much, except she had...tiger breath?

"Get. Off." He muttered, pushing her off long enough to sit up and then grab her and play-wrestle her to the ground. She grabbed his arm in her mouth, softly, and growled. Arien grinned. "Alright, alright, off." She released his arm, unharmed and then rolled onto her feet and padded towards Nex.

Red was still sleeping, but when she smelled food she was up in a minute and looking around sleepily. Stretching, she crawled to the entrance of the tent an watched with a smile as Arien wrestled with Bella. When Bella walked away, Red crawled silently out of the tent and wrapped her arms around Arien's neck.
"Goodmorning," she whispered and smiled.
Her hair was a cute mess and her green eyes were bright.
