The shoping trip had been rather enjoyable. They looked at baby clothes, laughed, and at one point Elliot tried playing hide and seek. They really were the couple everyone wanted to be. Young, free, and in love. By the time they returned home, it was getting rather late for dinner. Elliot unpacked the groceries while Raine did.. whatever she was doing in the bathroom. He guessed she was getting sick.
"You okay, love?" He shouted from the kitchen with no answer. He was surprised how calm he.. well his own stomach was even though he could hear her from out there. Now, seeing it would probably be a different story, but so far he was pretty melancholy about the whole sickness thing. He smiled as she came out of the bathroom with her messy bun and face clear of makeup. He loved her like that.
He packed away the last bit of produce before going to sit on the couch. Raine had gone into the bedroom to relax, so he figured he'd just stay out here and give her some time to herself. Just as he sat down, she called out to him asking for a snack and a drink. He silently laughed to himself as he stood back up and dug through the now-full cabinets for her request. He had poured the little fish shaped crackers into a bowl and was heading to the fridge for her water when she had a change of mind.
Elliot huffed as she appeared and scooted the bowl her way. He wasn't able to be upset with her, she was just too cute standing there rambling about her bacon-mac.. wait, what? "Woah." Elliot started, "Raine Gregory wants... bacon?"

"Yeah... it's the only thing that sounds good and I just don't understand why this baby wants meat so badly." Raine groaned as she retreated to the couch and curled up into the fetal position with a blanket wrapped over her body. She felt like she was being a whiny baby but she just couldn't pretend that she felt good when she felt so horrible. "Elliot...." She whimpered tearfully as she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. She had this sudden intense migraine and it was making her nauseous which sucked because she was already sick beforehand.
She was shaking underneath of her blanket like a leaf in a strong breeze. Her head felt like it was pounding and she didn't want to move because the very thought of it made her want to throw up like motion sickness only twelve times worse. She wanted to get up and make her delicious Bacon macaroni that she was craving but the idea of standing... it just didn't seem like it was going to end well for her. She wanted to go and make her Bacon macaroni so she struggled to her feet and into the kitchen.
She just felt suddenly weak like really weak. It was always so unexpected when her sickness would hit and she found herself using Elliot for balance with her head digging into his neck. "I feel so sick." She just wanted to go lay on the bathroom floor and cry.
Then maybe cry some more.

He felt so terrible seeing her like this. He wrapped her up in his arms, like it was her safe haven. "You don't need to be up if you're feeling this bad." He wrapped her arms around his neck and gently swooped her up and carried her to the couch. "You should be relaxing." Elliot called Pickles and Puddles over as he covered her with the blanket. They jumped up and laid at her feet as he got the remote and handed it to her. "How hard can baked macaroni be?" He smiled like he knew exactly what he was doing.
Elliot went into his bedroom and retrieved his laptop from the wobbly desk and placed it on the bar to look for a recipe. This didn't look that hard. He started getting everything he needed out, and then followed the recipe word for word. It only took about ten minutes to prep, and thirty something to cook. Raine peobably could have done it a lot faster than he did, but hey, he didn't even know where his own casserole dish was.
He plated up a portion for her, and one for himself, and joined her on the couch. It wasn't too pretty, like everything she made, but it was cooked, tasty, and not burnt.

Raine would have ate anything that Elliot had made even if it was burnt and dry and gross but she was thankful that it actually tasted nice or at least the couple of bites that she had eaten so far. "This is pretty good, baby." She would have ate more but it was making her nauseous. Cheese and bacon and noodles were probably not the best idea of her stomach when she was having trouble keeping anything down even water and crackers. "I'm tired." She placed her plate on the coffee table before snuggling her head into his lap which she definitely didn't mean sexually.
She wouldn't even think to try and get him to want her like that when she felt like absolute crap. "I'm just so tired." She was trying to think of a way to excuse the fact that she was falling asleep on his lap when he was well not.. She didn't want him to think that she was being rude but her eyelids were so heavy that she had to fight to keep her eyes open.
{Want to skip a couple days? :3 They can go find out it's twins and I can make the thread.. Yeah. XD Or no.. Up to you!}

Raine felt better when she got back up to the apartment and thought things through... She was being kind of a hormonal bitch today and he had tried to make her feel better but she couldn't get over everything that he'd said and it was on replay in her head. He was never like that with her... She'd been told far worse and yet his words were the ones that stuck because they were unexpected.
She always figured that they were just such a good couple that they didn't argue which was probably overly optimistic because everyone argues at some point but not them... Never them. She changed out of her clothes and into one of his plain shirts which was baggy on her but she didn't care. She just wanted to curl up in their bed with her favorite stuffed penguin (the first one he ever bought her) and cry until she could stop thinking about how this pregnancy was ruining their relationship.
Would they even be together in nine months when the babies came? Wow, that was a scary thought.. It was the first time in six years that she contemplated the future of their relationship.

Elliot nodded as she headed inside. He figured he'd give her some space and stay outside for a little while so they could both cool off. He kicked at himself for being such an asshole. He had no right to bring up his past like that. He just let out a deep sigh and reached into the glove compartment for his little silver crested cigarette case. He opened it and pulled out a rolled cigarette before returning the case to it's spot and stepping out of the car to smoke. The nicotine was calming his nerves and he was starting to think clearly. Snow was coming down again, and the thick blanket already covering the ground seemed to make the world around him silent.
Elliot leaned against the car with his eyes shut as he took another drag and blew it out into the cold air. She was probably already inside and curled up on the couch or in the bedroom. He needed to go inside and let her know he was sorry. He took a final drag and stomped out his cigarette on the ground below his feet.
He made his way up the elevator and then opened the door to his.. their apartment. He put his keys on the hook in the kitchen like he always did, and then went into the bathroom to wash his hands and brush his teeth. He knew she hated the smell of his vanilla-cherry blended cigarettes. It was probably on his shirt too, so he removed his jacket and shirt before heading to the room. She was laying on the bed crying heavily which only made him feel worse. Elliot stood in the doorway for a second before he slowly walked to the bed and laid down next to her. He wrapped his arm around her and drew her into him without any words. He softly kissed her forehead two or three times before whispering, "I'm sorry, love." His arm tightened for a second as he fought back the urge to cry. He was being so selfish by bringing up what he did. This was going to be hard for both of them, but he was willing to give up anything for Raine.

Why was this pregnancy so complicated? It was all that she had wanted for so long and now that she had it, it was well nothing like she had ever expected. She was sobbing so heavily that she was having trouble breathing and she was just a disgusting teary puffy snotty mess. Her eyes were heavy and she couldn't move because her sore limbs, she was just physically exhausted not tired exactly like she needed to sleep but she was just kind of done with everything that had been going on lately with moving in, quitting college, him telling her about his past, the babies, having to tell their families that they were unmarried and having two children in a small one bedroom apartment because they couldn't afford to buy her dream house. She didn't love if love was enough anymore or if he even still loved her after how selfish that she had been after he told her very intimate details about his past. She had just walked away from him so what if he decided to just walk away from her? She had been meaning to go back outside and try to get him to come inside so he, at the very least, didn't risk catching a chill. She was still worried about him even when she was upset about their argument. How did they even end up like this? From excitement over hearing their baby's heartbeat to this? Arguing and crying? Thinking about breaking up? She had never been this hysterical in her life even when she had miscarried back in high school. It was almost like she could see their whole relationship falling apart right before her eyes. She reached for the special extra soft lotion tissues currently on her nightstand and blew her nose before tossing the tissue absentmindedly into the waste basket by the bed which Elliot had put there the night before for her to throw up in if she needed to....
Elliot.
She couldn't even think about him without bursting into another round of hysterical sobbing. It was about that time when she heard him come inside but she didn't have the energy to deal with him. She was pretty sure that he was just going to go in there and yell at her for being so selfish and overly emotional and just plain stupid. He'd probably been smoking which was why he didn't come right into the bedroom which made her cry even harder because now she was picturing him dying a slow painful death from lung cancer. She was surprised when he came into the room and got on the bed with her, so he was sorry? She smiled weakly and turned to face him even though she knew that her eyes and nose were both red and puffy and she kept sniffling because she was all stuffed up. "I'm sorry, too." She could barely choke out the words right now and it sucked to struggle so much, "You don't love me or the babies, do you?" She was taking too much offense to her assumption that he was smoking outside while she was up here sobbing so hard that she couldn't breath. "If you loved me and the babies then you would quit smoking and you wouldn't act like I was just being a silly baby when I feel sick just because I never lost my girlfriend but I did lose my baby, Elliot. I wanted to die after my miscarriage and now I'm scared that it's going to happen again. Do you think that I didn't consider dying every single day of my life for months after it happened? I wanted to just take a whole bottle of pills and die so don't you dare say that I don't understand." She stood up slowly and struggled to the bathroom where she loudly wretched.
She felt kind of guilty when she walked back into their bedroom so she snuggled against his body and wiped her eyes, "I'm sorry that I over-reacted and got so pissy.... I just felt sick and I don't know.. I love you." She leaned her mouth close to his and gave him a small kiss, "I'm worried that you're going to get lung cancer and die or that you'll leave me for someone else." Well that was a rather morbid thing to say.

Elliot didn't say anything in response to her. He had already said enough on the subject, and he didn't want them to get into it again. The clusterfuck of emotions topped by his growing anger he had earlier scared him. He wasn't that person anymore, he hadn't been for nearly seven years. He thought back to when Raine miscarried Dallas' baby and the hate he had for that sorry excuse for a man.
When they had found out and Raine had told him about his dead child and he had been so relieved which had made Raine sickened by his presence, Elliot bulked up the courage to confront him and ask what the hell his problem was. It ultimately was a bad decision that landed him a twisted wrist, busted lip, bruised jaw and some minor cuts and bruises. Dallas wasn't too banged up, but Elliot did manage to give him a healthy black eye and busted lip.
He didn't move until Raine crawled back up next to him. Her body was unusually warm, probably because of the pregnancy, but it felt nice. The light from outside lit up the room and made things a little more cheery, especially being able to see the giant snow flurried from the window. Elliot moved a stray hair from her face, "I do love you. And I love our little miracles." He gave her a faint smile, "..and I'm already tying to quit. I decided this the first day we found out. But I'll stop right now, for good, if that's what you want." That was going to be difficult. He had been smoking since he was thirteen due to some influential friends and his parents not caring. "I'd do anything for you because I love you. And besides," he almost laughed, "You're stuck with me. We're penguins, remember?"

According to the baby books, it was common to have a higher body temperature; she wasn't entirely sure what it was that made it happen since she hadn't been reading it that carefully since well most of the stuff in there didn't sound very fun and it all made her feel sick. "We should get up and... I don't know." She didn't really want to get up because she was feeling all warm and cozy snuggled up to him but if she didn't get up now then she never would. "We should probably get some lunch or something... I don't know." She wasn't really sure what they were suppose to do at this point, tell her family? "We still haven't told my parents that we're having a baby yet. I might go over there this weekend and tell them myself." She wasn't sure why she didn't invite him but she just figured that it would be easier if he wasn't there so he couldn't say anything like 'God, I'm potent' to her brothers or father who would gladly rip him limb from limb.
She glanced back over to him as she slipped out of her clothing, what was she doing? It was important to her that they made up completely and part of that meant well make up sex even if she didn't exactly feel sexy with her stomach protruding obviously now. She thought that it showed underneath her shirt but it was nothing compared to how she looked when she was naked which made her feel insecure and suddenly not in the mood at all. She cringed as she looked at herself in the full length mirror in his bedroom, how was she suppose to seduce him when she was getting so fat? She was only six weeks pregnant! Though it was common to show earlier with twins or at least that's what the doctor had assured her of.
She didn't want him to look at her so she grabbed her plush pink robe and covered her hideous body that she should definitely be ashamed of. She was so going on a diet! "Yeah, what do you want to do today?" It was still early so she didn't want to go to sleep even if she was kind of tired.

Honestly, Elliot didn't want to leave the warmth of their overly soft, cloud-like bed. He was mentally exhausted from everything that had happened that day, and now she was wanting to add the scary scenario of telling her parents? If they knew that they were having a baby, let alone two, and unmarried AND still in college? God, they were going to have his dick as their mantle piece.
He was feeling a little tired, but Raine was so set on getting up and doing something when all he wanted to do was mope around and be lazy. Hell, she was the one who was supposed to be feeling like this, and he was supposed to be trying to drag her out of bed. What the hell was with today?
He gave Raine a slightly confused look as she started to take off her clothes and then covered up with her bath robe. "Uhm, Raine?" He started as he kneeled on the edge of the bed now so that he could be in front of her. "Are you hiding your bump?" He asked, trying to pull open the part of the rope that was covering her stomach. "I want to see." Elliot smiled to her as if asking for permission.

Raine wanted to trust him with her body when she was in such a fragile state but what if he was turned off by it? What if he couldn't preform with her looking like a whale? She slowly let her robe fall down to her shoulders and glanced at him with an obviously nervous expression.
She reached down to pull her robe back on and she tied it as tightly as she could without losing the ability to exhale. "No, you can't see.. I'm getting huge and I'm only six weeks along! Just think of how unappealing I'm going to look in nine months!" Her weight was something that she wasn't ready to accept especially if it was going to negatively affect her relationship. "I just want to lay in bed." She lost her get up and go attitude when she realized how horrible that she looked.
So, she just curled up under the blankets to hide. She was actually crying a little bit which she personally blamed on the fact that she was a hormonal mess right now.

Elliot remained kneeling on the edge of the bed as she curled up under the blankets. He tried to think of something that he could do that would get her to believe that he already loved her extremely small bump. He had it, but he needed to get off the bed in order to do it. He stepped down, and then looked at the lump under the comforter.
He raised up the bottom part of the blanket, and climbed under it. Slowly, he crawled on top of Raine's legs and planted little seed sized kisses as he made his way up to her face. "You can't hide from me, Raine. I'm like Godzilla in Tokyo." He laughed as he pretended to gnaw on her neck and shoulder. He held himself up over her, careful not to squish her torso, but he sat up while straddling her legs and his height made a tent out of the comforter. He didn't care if she felt like she needed to hide. Elliot tugged at the knot until it had come lose. He left her covered, and only parted the part of her robe that covered her belly. He leaned down to kiss it four or five times before snuggling his face against her smooth skin.
"Raine, I love you, and you're perfect. And these guys?" He said, rubbing his thumb over the side of her belly, "I love these two. I love my beautiful family."

Raine kind of figured that Elliot wasn't going to just let her lay there and cry since he was a nice guy who actually loved her despite the fact that she was slowly turning into a whale. "I love you, too..." She mumbled before she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, why was she so emotional all of the time? It was like she was always either crying or near crying. She didn't believe him that she was perfect but she did believe that he thought that she was and maybe that was enough.
"Thank you." She was going to try and be happier for his sake because he deserved better than a girlfriend who was always so horribly depressed. "You complete me.." She purred as she leaned forward so she could kiss him, slipping her tongue into his mouth as she slowly lifted herself up so she could get out of underneath of him. "I promise not to throw up this time..." She raised a brow as she slowly undid his pants though she left his underwear on so he didn't feel like she was going to rape him or anything.
She planted small kisses along his inner thighs put stopped before she could actually do anything that could be considered rape. She was so not a rapist! "Do you want me too....?" She didn't want to pressure him if he didn't want this but she wanted him to realize that oral sex and hand jobs were totally enough to keep him satisfied for the next nine months. It wasn't like she was going to want him to return the favor!

He kissed her back, but was surprised and a little confused by her next move eve though he went along with it. His belt clinked as the metal collided and she undid his zipper. Elliot bit down on his bottom lip as he thought about it. Why was he thinking about it? Any other guy would jump at this. Maybe it was because the first time he had ever been on the receiving end was not even a week and a half and she ended up puking after.
He was scared that was going to happen again, only she would make it to the bathroom or even the trash can right next to the bed. Instead, he pictured hitting her gag reflex and he just vomiting all over him and his lap. He was actually acting a little shy when he shook his head in disagreeance. He couldn't seem to shake that image out of his mind for the time being, and honestly even though he rather enjoyed himself, it did nothing for him this time.
Instead, Elliot laid her back and followed the moves she made on him. "What about you?" He asked, sliding his hand over her hip and moving in. Maybe that was an underlying cause for her mood swings. He kissed her with a heated tongue, and then proceeded to kiss down her neck, and he stopped on her collar bone. He didn't move, but he looked at her before continuing down.
{uhm, yeah, skip whenever you want. xD }

Raine was actually kind of offended when he refused even if she probably would have thrown up on him if he had allowed her to continue since the idea of having a penis in her mouth was disgusting when she wasn't pregnant and having horrible morning sickness. "What are you...?" She was about to ask him what in the hell that he was doing before he continued with his kisses... Oh. She hadn't been expecting that though it was the only reason that she had offered to do something for him.
{Le skip}
She was panting, still, as she pulled him close to her, "That was... wow.... Just wow...." She knew that it was extra fabulous lately because of increased blood flow and hormones but that didn't mean that Elliot's skills had nothing to do with it, right? "That was just so.... so good." She was definitely impressed.... "You are so amazing! How do you do that?" She actually didn't want to know, she just didn't know how else to make it obvious just how pleased that she was with him.
"I'm going to make you dinner, the best dinner! And pie!" She stood up and put her robe back on before skipping into the kitchen humming some little song that she made up in her head. What do you make a man who just rocked your world? Steak and bacon... Bacon wrapped steak! She was so going to make him a nice juicy steak wrapped in bacon, "Baby! Come out here! I'm making you something delicious!"
