Raine looked God-awful, like she was about to puke right there. Elliot couldn't help but feel bad for asked her to go on, even thought it was kind of her fault for asking in the first place. But that didn't matter right now. She curled up next to him and he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Is there anything-" He wasn't able to finish his question as Raine ran out of the room. He sat up and rubbed his arm before deciding to go the kitchen to get her something.
He came back into the room and sat a glass of water and two Tums beside it on the nightstand on her side before climbing back into the bed, turning off the light and snuggling up against the cold wall. Not too long after, she returned and joined him. Elliot rolled over to face her and offered a faint smile that she probably couldn't see. She sounded so tired. After a minute of lying there, Elliot began to hum quietly the chorus of Rockabye by Shawn Mullins, his own eyes shut as he rubbed his fingers over her arm. He hadn't done this in forever, but it normally put them both to sleep, and before he knew it, he was entering his dream state.

Raine fell asleep as soon as Elliot started humming. She felt kind of guilty when she looked at the clock in the morning and saw that it was already almost eight thirty. She noticed that Elliot was still sleeping so she struggled to her feet and sneaked into the kitchen to get everything ready for the day. She got the dogs settled with food and water and got herself dressed before starting Elliot's breakfast which was a pain in the ass to make when pancake batter was making her nauseous as hell. She finally finished it up and it actually looked kind of nice.
Elliot didn't have much food so she'd had to run down to the little market by his house to actually make him breakfast. She made him a nice mug of tea to complete the meal and placed it on a tray to bring into his bedroom. She set it on his nightstand and started rubbing his arm to try and wake him up. "Elliot... Baby, it's time to wake up." She was planning on doing this for him every morning that she felt well enough to. She reached over and grabbed a pancake from his plate that she nibbled on even though it was just a plain pancake basically. She was hungry!
And it wasn't like he would even mind! She was starving and wouldn't he just be happy that she could stomach something when she felt so sick? She actually felt better after she took a couple of bites though which was nice since she'd woken up twice in the night to throw up.

Elliot had woken up, scared, sweating (despite the cold temperature in the apartment), and confused about what happened. He managed not to wake Raine up, and good thing to because it was nearly three in the morning. It has been quite some time since he had a nightmare to this magnitude, probably six or seven months. He readjusted, closed his eyes and tried to fall back asleep.
By the time morning rolled around, he was still fast asleep. He was woken by Raine who was gently shaking his arm. Elliot slowly opened his eyes to the bright morning light as the smell of delicious pancakes and hot tea filled the air. He sat up, his legs still covered by the blankets. "Raine, you did this for me? God, you're so amazing." Elliot started, "You're eating?" He smiled, happy to see her be able to stomach something. He was hopeful that she was feeling better.
Hot tea, not coffee.. she knew him so well. The only time he ever drank actual coffee (frappes and mochas he didn't count) was when they went to her parents house or if he had no other options at work. He munched down a few pieces of his heavenly heart-shaped pancakes before getting quiet. He was sure she could tell that his sleep last night was on the low end of anything good. "Raine.. remember when I used to have really bad nightmares?" He started before trailing off.

"Isn't it amazing? I didn't think that I was ever going to feel better! But I feel fabulous right now!" Raine was in such a good mood this morning! She had even curled her hair and put on make up! Her happiness kind of lessened when he mentioned his nightmares. She'd kind of figured that he'd had them but they must have been pretty bad if he was telling her about them, right? She let out a small sigh and nodded slowly, "I remember."
She picked up his mug and stole a drink of his tea before taking a couple of strawberry pieces and sitting down next to him on the bed, "Tell me all about your nightmare." She was just assuming that was why he brought them up. She didn't want to look like she was too worried just in case he felt like she was trying to 'mother' him. She wanted to be his wife one day and that just wouldn't work if he saw her as his mommy.
Right? So why was she feeling this urge to take care of him? She was just going to go with the safe bet and blame her brand new pregnancy hormones instead of over thinking that.

He popped a strawberry wedge into his mout and chewed it while he thought if he should tell Raine what exactly went on in his dream. There wasn't any way to sugar coat it and he didn't want to seem like a dick by just bluntly saying it. How do you tell your newly pregnant girlfriend that you dreamed she had another miscarriage? He couldn't find the words, or choke up the courage to potentially ruin her day.
Elliot looked up to her and then dropped his gaze. He shouldn't have brought it up. He nit the inside of his lip before squeaking out, "We'll talk about it later." He started. He didn't continue and ate another pancake. She seemed like she was in such a fantastic mood and wasn't going to ruin it for her. If the dream reoccurred tonight, he'd tell her tomorrow. Yeah, that sounded like a plan. "What all do you have to do today?"

Raine raised a brow, what could possibly be so bad that he couldn't tell her? She was in such a good mood that she decided not to press the issue too much so she just took a second to think about her plans for the day. Did she even have anything to do? She was actually surprised to realize that she really didn't have any big important thing that she needed to do.
She wasn't at all serious with her answer though she could understand why he would think that she was. She straddled him and began kissing his neck then his lips before finally purring, "The only thing that I want to do tonight is ride you.... all day sexathon." She winked before she went back to kissing him. She was just doing this to see if whatever he dreamt about had been bad enough that the rest of the day was ruined. What if his dream had been about Ashley? She shuddered at the thought before intensifying her kissing and grinding her crotch against his to try and get some sort of a reaction from him.
Why was she even doing this to him? She had absolutely no plans of having sex with him.

Elliot kissed her back, although he wasn't really feeling this whole charade she was putting on. He had narrowed it down to one of two explanations; one, the hormonal changes and two, she was fucking with him. Or both, it could always be both but he gave her no reaction back and didn't remotely seem interested in sex this morning.
He tried to hide the fact that his dream had put him off for today, and he had an unbelievable poker face when needed. Elliot put on that mask and changed the subject. "Since you're in such a good mood, how would you like to go do a little browsing? Like, for our future home.." He smiled, knowing about what her reaction might be.
He wasn't worried about scrounging the money to buy a house, he had been planning on this for nearly five years now. He had some things he had kept from her knowledge, but it was for the better. Like now.

Raine frowned, why was he so.... uninterested in this? Was she not doing it right? She'd been kissing him like this for six years! How could he suddenly not find it arousing? Unless..... Ashley. She bit down on her bottom lip and shrugged when he mentioned finding a house, he was probably only saying that because he felt guilty about having a sexual dream about his ex-girlfriend when she was literally in the bed next to him. She pulled herself off of him and offered a weak smile.
She didn't see a point in ruining the day just because she was feeling insecure over him having naughty dreams about someone from his past. She was just going to have to face the fact that she wasn't going to ever truly be better than his last girlfriend and she was always going to be second best worrying about this whole situation even though she was currently carrying his child.
She fought to keep her happy face as she turned back to look at him, "How can you afford to get a house? I mean... I don't want to find the most amazing house in the world and lose it because we can't afford it."

His actions had only made her upset. He was curious what she thought the dream was about. He would tell her if she was that concerned about it. But he crossed his legs under the warm blankets and offered her a smile. "I didn't want to tell you until it was right.. and.. how more right can it get?" Elliot started. "You know my parents would do anything for us, right? Well.. About two years ago, they put away a chunk of money in case we got married and wanted to to adopt or do a surrogacy or something. And you know that they pay the majority of my bills because they feel bad if I spend my money on something other than saving it and food." He was getting off subject, "Anyways, I've been saving these past five years and I have more than enough for a down payment and some other things, plus the money from my mum and dad. I just - I wanted to wait until we got married before we did any of this, but now I'm thinking 'what the hell?' let's do it all now." Elliot sounded so excited about the whole plan.
He climbed in front of Raine and laid her back, trying to lighten her mood. "And I'm not going to just brush you off like I didn't want to." He said, slyly as he kissed up her stomach, over her chest and up to her lips. "You'll see." He smirked and followed it with a wink. "And thank you for breakfast, sugar, it was wonderful." And with that, he kissed her forehead and got up to grab a towel. "I'm going to take a shower." Elliot smiled at her as he left the room.

Raine was half tempted to join his shower but she was too excited about finding a house! So, she skipped into the living room and pulled out her laptop to do some serious searching. What if she couldn't find anything? What if she loved a house that he hated? She was kind of having fun looking at houses for sale in Staten Island even if she knew that he probably wasn't going to like all of the ones that she did. One actually looked kind of promising so she bookmarked it before deciding that it would be more fun to look up furniture stores and home decor for the house that they didn't even own yet.
She hadn't even shown him the house that she liked so why in the world was she already decorating it? She knew that this was probably getting a little ahead of herself but she was already planning out where she would put the furniture in the house and what color they would paint the walls after they got rid of that god-awful wallpaper. Seriously, floral? Who does that? She scrunched her face up as she looked through the rest of the pictures, these people seriously had like no idea how to decorate.
It was almost as bad as that Star Wars man cave that she'd stumbled upon when she was looking at basement decor. Why do people even bother buying gorgeous houses when they weren't going to make them beautiful? "Hurry up, Gates! I wanna go find my dream house." She lacked patience so she got up with a heavy sigh and walked into the bathroom with no regard for the fact that he was currently showering. She bit down on her bottom lip before deciding that they could maybe wait a little bit longer to go look at houses and she wanted to butter him up so he was more likely to go along with whatever she wanted so she slowly slipped out of her clothes before joining him in the shower and wrapping one of her legs around his waist as she kissed him.
"Or we could do this...?" She raised a brow before pulling off of him and making eye contact. She didn't want to rape him!

Elliot leaned against the bathroom counter and couldn't help but smile at the thought of them buying a house. Everything he had ever wanted was finally becoming reality and he was loving every moment of it. He would let Raine decorate however she wanted, just as long as it made her happy. And they would have a nursery! It hadn't really hit him yet that they were going to be having a baby. In nine months, he could be holding their baby girl in their new home with his -hopefully by then- fiancé.
He stripped down and hoped in the steaming shower. Not even five minutes later, he could hear Raine yelling something at him, but couldn't make it out. She was crazy.. and he loved it. He then heard the bathroom door squeak open and Raine appeared in the shower. He instinctively ran his hand over her leg when she wrapped it around him. Elliot bit down hard on his lip, she wasn't giving up and he was okay with that.
"You're so persistent." Elliot said in a low, sexy voice. He pushed her up against the tile wall, the hot water beating down on his back. He lifter her up to his level and kissed her deeply and with passion. He loved Raine Gregory.

Raine was actually kind of surprised that Elliot didn't just show the same lack of interest in sex that he had before. She slowly wrapped her legs around in waist and positioned them for..... (Le skip)
Post sex usually involved cuddling of some sort but they weren't in a bed so she just buried snuggled her head into him as her breathing returned to normal. She still felt like she was less important than Ashley but this was making her feel better like she was special, too. Maybe she was just a different kind of special to him? She wanted to believe that he would gladly pick her if he had the choice of his ex-girlfriend being alive again and her being dead or her staying alive and his ex remaining dead especially since she had his little peanut growing inside of her.
That was when it finally hit her for real that they were expecting a child together, not him and Ashley, not her and Dallas.. She, Raine Gregory, was going to have Elliot Gates's baby and that was something that nobody else in the world was going to get the honor of saying well she supposed that they could say it but it wouldn't be true or at least she hoped that it wasn't true.
She let out a small sigh and reached her hands up to his back as she tried to lessen the distance between them. "I just wish that we could stay like this forever." She was happy, why couldn't things be this wonderful all the time?

Elliot stroked the back of her wet hair and the hot water continued to pour down like unforgiving rain. Raine. He held her and nestled his cheek against her head. "Things are this perfect." He started, "Raine, we're having a miracle baby. We're going to look for a home that we can make so many memories in with you, me and our little girl. And besides.."
He let out a little chuckle, "If we stayed like this forever, we'd be prunes." He looked at his fingers and gasped, "Oh no! Oh, Lord, it's already happening!" He laughed and flailed out of the shower, wrapping himself in a towel. "God, whyyy?" He said, now kneeling on the living room floor an acting overly dramatic in his bath towel. Pickles and Puddles were jumping around him, and when he fell to the ground to play dead, they went up and gave him a sniff and whined.

Raine smiled as she imagined the little life that they were going to have with their baby and dogs... maybe they would even get married one day. Yeah, things were actually going pretty good. She watched him head out into the living room and rolled her eyes before she started getting dressed once again and put some make up on so she didn't look too terrible. She was starting to feel a little sick again meaning she threw up so she headed straight to the kitchen once her make up was done even though her hair was just in a super messy bun on the top of her head. "Elliot, you don't have food."
She didn't know what she really expected him to do about that or what she wanted him to make her but she did know that she needed to eat or she was going to go barf again. She searched around until she found a box of saltines that she'd brought over the last time that she was there and went over to the couch to snack. "Okay, hurry up and get ready before I start feeling too bad to go out." She wasn't going to miss looking for their dream home!

{ www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=60491646 } Insomnia is a bitch and it's like 3:23 in the morning so if this is a failure then yeah, that's why. But yeah! Look at how yummy that looks :3 Raine didn't feel very comforted by Elliot's words but she decided that she was just going to have to put on a happy face and pretend that she was totally okay! She was still disappointed even as they drove down to the grocery store well technically Super Walmart because that was closest to his apartment and she felt like looking at baby things.
She'd felt nauseous again when they got there so she ended up throwing up pretty shortly after they got inside the store and to make up for her feeling sick, they looked at baby things. Now, she knew that she didn't know the gender yet but she still picked up a couple of cute things that she could always give to one of her other pregnant friends if she was having a boy... or if she didn't end up having a baby. She didn't want to think like that; she wanted to believe that everything was going to work out just because they would. She was having too much fun looking at all of the little newborn things for them to not bring home little baby Faith Gates in nine or so months depending on how far along that she was right now. The shopping trip flew by because they had a lot of fun which was normal for them since they'd walk around and shop and share a thing of french fries from the little McDonald’s inside.
It was already past eight when they ended up back at Elliot's apartment... their apartment. It was so strange thinking that this was their apartment now and not just his place and to have her dogs run up to her with their tails wagging and they were just so damn excited to see them! She was feeling sick again so she rushed back into the bathroom where she was followed by the dogs who actually seemed concerned for their master. She changed after she cleaned up and had her make up removed and her hair was in a messy bun so she didn't think that she looked all that sexy at the moment but she figured that Elliot wasn't going to comment on it since she was his girlfriend and currently pregnant with his child. “Baby, I think that I'm going to go lay down.” She wasn't necessarily tired but she felt like stretching out under the comforters with her back propped against two of his pillows. Puddles and Pickles jumped up onto the foot of the bed and curled up immediately like little foot warmers. “Sweetie, will you bring me a snack? Like some goldfish crackers and a vitamin water?” She was being lazy and she knew it but she just wanted to lay in his bed, watch some television and relax. She was trying not to think about the fact that they couldn't afford her dream house and that they were expecting a baby.
It was actually that second that she realized that they hadn't actually ate dinner yet which was probably why she was so hungry and felt so incredibly nauseous at the moment. "Nevermind!" She hopped off of the bed and headed back into the living room with a small frown, "We need to have dinner, I was thinking something like macaroni?" She thought that actually sounded really good like she was craving it so much.... and bacon. "Oh my god... Guess what I want? Bacon. I just want like bacon macaroni and cheese
