OOC: Awww don't worry about it at all Dee, it wasn't lame! I'm not sure if I'll be on in half an hour or not, but either way I'll try to be on later tonight! (Though I'm not sure how late it'll be for you ). Even if we miss each other later, it'll be alright! It's just one week that's Fervi-less () (though hopefully I'll get to get on at some point during the week, but I'm honestly not sure...) and then after this coming week I'll be able to get on a lot more! Bye for now!

To say that Ferris was slightly worn out from the unwrapping of all their presents was a bit of an understatement. Though he was extremely grateful to everyone for getting their coming baby so much to help them out, it was still a mountain of presents and was a bit tiring to go through. But they'd thanked each and every person, and he was obviously quite happy to receive all of these things; it made Gabe's arrival feel like it was coming sooner, like it was that much more real. And it helped out both himself and Vianna quite a bit as they didn't have to go out and buy all of this, and it seemed even more special that these things came from all of their closest friends and family; Gabe's closest friends and family. It was perfect.

As everyone began to disperse, he turned to see that his wife was eating a piece of cheesecake like she hadn't seen the light of day for years, something that got him to chuckle softly. "Aw, my poor gem," he murmured, slipping an arm around her in order to plant a loving kiss to her temple. "Hardly got any food for her and little Gabe all afternoon," he continued, flashing her a warm smile before kissing her cheek lovingly and getting up from his seat to grab something to eat as well. But he'd hardly had anything all day, just a snack here and there all afternoon, and he'd only had a cup of coffee that morning! For Ferris's stomach, that was like eating a spoonful of yogurt and calling it lunch.

The young man returned to his wife's side a couple minutes later, sporting a large sandwich he'd found on one of the snack tables, already having devoured a good portion of it before he even sat down. He was hungrier than he'd thought he was! Just minutes later the sandwich was reduced to nothing but crumbs and he set the plastic plate to the side as he leaned back into his seat, obviously satisfied with his meal. As though his arm had a mind of its own, it slipped around Vianna's waist, pulling her into his side comfortably as she continued to eat her slice of cheesecake. He admired the sight of this with a warm smile, brown eyes practically sparkling as he absentmindedly observed how cute she was eating a piece of cheesecake with that round little belly. "You're so cute," he grumbled playfully as he kissed her temple once more.

ooc: Yes it wasssss!! -storms off and slams door shut-
!
But aw drats, I hope I'll be around then! If not, then yeah, I guess we'll just see each other tomorrow and hopefully get a little more done before Fervi-less week arrives!

Vianna was vaguely aware of the boy at her side giving an 'aw' at the sight of her, only coming to recognize his presence as his arm found its way around her waist and his lips to her temple. She looked up from her cheesecake then, turning to him with a smile and listening as he commented on how she'd hardly gotten any food for herself and little Gabe all afternoon, something to which the girl chuckled softly though it was true. The girl's smile widened slightly as her husband then placed another kiss on her cheek before getting up and leaving her side to find himself something to eat. Vianna returned her attention to her plate then, quietly eating for the next few moments until Ferris returned, halfway done with a sandwich he'd gotten during his departure. Vianna welcomed him with a warm smile, almost done with her own cheesecake now, before being distracted once more as Ferris's arm returned to her waist and he commented on her being cute. The girl giggled lightly at the comment and the kiss he awarded her at that moment. "I can't deny you're looking kind of cute too, Professor," she shared with him, pecking his lips gently, lovingly, before finishing off the rest of her cheesecake.

The second Vianna made her last bite of the cheesecake, Costa apparated at her side, asking if she wanted anything else, to which the girl replied with a polite 'No, grazie Costa.' But it seemed the little elf knew just what to give the girl, what she was craving without Vianna even having to ask; and it was then that the little elf shared something rather amusing with her - that during Mrs. Vincenzi's first pregnancy, when Victor was still growing in her belly, the woman had very similar cravings as Vianna did now. "Oh Merlin, well hopefully Gabe won't be too much like Victor…" muttered Vianna with mock horror.

"Hey, I heard that!" came Victor's voice from just a few steps away, now making his way over to his younger sister with his son, Vittorio (Victor was probably the most old-fashioned of the siblings, and so he followed the Vincenzi tradition of naming the first male offspring after the father; and so therefore his little boy was named after himself), sitting in his arms. Victor had been late to the baby shower as he'd been held back at the hospital for longer than he had expected, despite the fact that it was a Saturday.

Vianna giggled lightly, her crystal blue eyes admiring the sight of the little boy in her brother's arms. He was a handsome little boy only a little over a year old now, his hair dark and brown and wavy, like that of his mother's, and his skin was just very lightly tanned by the Sicilian sun. Amusingly enough, he had inherited neither his mother's dark brown eyes or his father's crystal blue eyes, something which no one in the family had really expected. He had inherited his grandmother's eyes, as they were a light, caramel-brown sort of colour, and they seemed to glisten with a sort of curiosity as he gazed at his surroundings for a moment before his gaze fell upon his aunt and his eyes locked shamelessly on her own, watching her quietly, very curiously. But personality-wise, Vittorio was absolutely nothing like his cousin Jackie. He was a very quiet and very calm child; unlike most children, who usually cried when being held by strangers or anyone who wasn't their parents, little Vittorio was always completely calm, easily adjusting to whoever was carrying him at the moment. He never really caused any trouble and seemed to prefer to examine things curiously than kick and scream the way his cousin did. The only times the little boy wails and acts out is when he's left with his cousin Jackie, as the little girl tends to throw things at him or steal his bottle when the adults aren't looking. On this special occasion, he was dressed a little more formal, in khaki dress pants, formal little black shoes, and a collared shirt with a light and dark blue scottish pattern on its fabric.

"Ciao, Vittorino; non ti ho visto in un lungo tempo!" said Vianna to the little boy, who merely gave her a small shy smile. "Can I hold him?" the girl asked her brother, who smiled and nodded his head slightly before gently and very carefully handing the one-year-old over to his sister, who welcomed the little one onto her lap with the warmest of smiles. But she wanted to get an idea of what it would be like to one day hold her own child, of what the little one would feel like in her hands, in her arms.

Vittorio's caramel eyes watched his father for a moment, as if saying 'you're giving me away!?' before turning back to his aunt, taking a moment to silently examine her face, obviously beginning to recognize her now. But last time the baby had seen Vianna, she wasn't carrying this big belly around, so he felt a little disoriented. Little Vittorio's gaze fell to it then, one of his little hands curiously examining the fabric of the girl's dress before he seemed to find her belly, to realize that there was something unusual about it; after all, his mummy didn't have a belly like that. Why did his aunt? His dark brows furrowed just very slightly in a rather endearing way as his little hand passed over the belly, as if examining it, like this was something very serious he was doing, he needed to figure out. Perhaps he would grow up to be a healer like his father; he certainly seemed to posses the same type of curiosity that his father did when he was his age, though he was also a very shy little boy, like his mother.

"So it's a boy," Victor commented with slightly raised eyebrows, his gaze now examining the couple almost the same way Vittorio seemed to be examining Vianna's belly, something naturally inquisitive about their gazes. "I think Vittorio will be glad. He could use another cousin, a male one. He doesn't seem to get along very well with Jackie," said the young man, his gaze returning to the little boy sitting on his sister's lap.

OOC: Don't you slam doors on me Debra!
& I dunno if we'll really have any time tomorrow! That's the problem, my absence starts tomorrow and goes until next Sundayyy....
LOL but it's okay cuz I hope I'll be able to sneak on late at night, and even if we don't get all that much Fervi tmie over the next week, it's just a week. And when I get back, it'll be back to normal!

Ferris couldn't help but give a bit of a lopsided grin as Vianna informed him that he too was looking pretty cute, returning the sweet peck kiss the girl gave his lips for the moment it lasted. He pulled her a bit closer before Costa suddenly appeared to offer Vianna more food, then apparently explaining something to his wife that he couldn't quite understand (as it was Italian). But the response, (the hope from Vianna that Gabe wouldn't be too much like Victor) his brown eyes widened, obviously surprised by the comment. What on earth had Costa told her?! Before he could ask himself, Victor had called out that he'd heard Vianna's comments, and he was looking around only to see the man walking towards them with his son in hand.

Ferris smiled on instinct at the sight of little Vittorio, his brown eyes warming up just slightly as they fell onto the calm one-year-old. He watched as the baby came into his wife's arms, observing the way the young child gently stroked Vianna's belly, as though confused as to why it was there. He gave a bit of a grin at this, admiring the sight of the child he'd gotten to meet a few times before. He was adorable, that was for sure, and Ferris couldn't help but gently and almost hesitantly bring up a hand to stroke the child's soft wavy hair. Babies' hair was always so soft... He could never understand why!

Just as he was letting out a soft chuckle at Vittorio's curiosity, Victor commented on Fervi's child going to be a boy, and his mind was brought back to the fact that he'd have a little boy of his own in a few months time. A warm smile fell onto his expression immediately as he gave a brief nod to confirm it, listening as he mentioned that Vittorio would be glad to have another male cousin, that he didn't get along with Jackie. "Yeah, I can see other children not taking to Jackie so well," Ferris admitted with a soft chuckle, returning his attention to Vittorio with a warm smile still on his face. He was just so little! His hands were so tiny and his caramel eyes were so big! He just couldn't believe it...

ooc: Oooohhhh! Aaaaaawwwwwww! Lame!! -Sigh- But yeah I guess we'll just have to wait for the week to be over...

Vianna gave a soft but rather guilty chuckle as her brother and Ferris commented on little Jackie and the other kids' reluctance to be near her. "Aw, she's just a baby, you guys," muttered the girl. "I'm sure she'll get better with time," she said, her blue eyes never really leaving Vittorio's, as the little one looked up to each member of the group as they spoke, curiosity evident in his gaze. He was a rather serious baby, not one to giggle or laugh easily, but he was still an adorable sight, and always made it easy for whoever was holding him or taking care of him at the moment. He was an awful lot like his father in this sense, and it was obvious to those who'd known the young man enough to figure out his personality.

"You really should bring him over more often, Vic, especially when little Gabe is born," said Vianna, one of her fingers tracing gently and absentmindedly over the baby's features, as if he was some sort of precious doll she'd never seen before but had always dreamed of holding. Vittorio didn't seem bothered by all this, and had now begun to distract himself by trying to figure out how to pull his little shoes off. But children this young were usually a bit reluctant to be all dressed up and usually preferred to run around carefree.

Victor chuckled softly at his sister's words. "You say that now," he told her, an amused smile curving his lips. "But just wait 'til he's born, suddenly the idea of having two around at the same time won't seem so nice anymore," he said, turning his head for a moment as a female voice called out in Italian, it was Airi. "I'll be right back, Vi. Just hold him for a second, I won't be long," he asked of his sister before disappearing into the crowd, assuming this must've been urgent if his quiet wife was calling for him from across a sea of guests, though her voice didn't sound urgent.

Vianna gave a nod and watched her brother go before sinking a little further back into her seat with a sigh, her blue eyes absentmindedly watching as Vittorio figured out the art of pulling his shoes off and threw his right shoe to the floor, his little hand now absentmindedly studying his foot as if he had never seen it before. "I really want Gabe here, Professor…" muttered Vianna absentmindedly, one of her hands keeping the tiny child safe on her lap, making sure he wouldn't fall off if he moved too much, as babies weren't too talented at keeping their balance.

OOC: Yeah, I know I completely agree! *sigh* But, like I said, I'll try to get on whenever I can towards night time. However, I don't know if I'll be able to get on every single night, and if I do get on it'll probably be late for youuu! Like, really late! And you don't need to be staying up late like that, and even if you did we'd both be pretty tired... So it's pretty much a Fervi-less week entirely! But not to worry, the week will go by fast enough and then it's all back to normal, like normal as in before this crazy July month!

Ferris gave the warmest of his smiles as he observed this little baby that seemed so calm and serious, but all the while completely adorable. He admired the sight of the little boy, his large hand still resting very gently upon the baby's head, his thumb stroking Vittorio's wavy brown hair. The sight of a little baby boy like this, a little baby boy who was physically there and on Vianna's lap... It was all making him want to see his own child there, to have Gabe out already, to have a baby boy that was all theirs. He listened as Victor and Vianna spoke, Vianna suggesting that her brother bring around Vittorio much more once Gabe was born. He smiled slightly at this, looking up to agree with this only to see his brother-in-law laughing at this suggestion.

He let his eyebrows raise slightly, confused, until Victor explained that the couple didn't mind the idea of having two babies around right that second, but once they actually had that situation they'd feel differently. What was that supposed to mean? Just as Ferris was thinking on this, Victor slipped away to talk to Airi and he and Vianna where left with little Vittorio who had taken off one shoe. Ferris grinned at this, letting out a soft chuckle as he once more brought up his right hand to the young child. But this time, he simply took Vittorio's little hand gently into his own, studying his small fingers as though he'd never seen anything more fascinating.

It was then that he caught the sound of his wife sighing, and turned to see her slouched slightly in her chair, her expression a little absentminded. His eyebrows rose a bit at this, curious as to what was wrong, and listened as she answered his question by informing him that she really wanted Gabe around. Ferris gave a warm, sympathetic smile at these words, observing his wife for a moment before gently leaning forward and kissing her cheek lovingly. "I know gem, me too," he agreed softly before turning back to Vittorio and very gently picking up the little baby, moving him over to his own lap curiously. Ferris was good with kids, he liked them quite a bit, but he hadn't held an actual baby in thirteen years.

"Hey there Vittorio," Ferris murmured with a warm smile, picking up the child once more in order to hold him up gently in front of his face. "What're you doin' without a shoe?" he asked playfully, eyebrows raising as though accusing the little baby of doing a serious crime. But moments later, his expression had broken into the warmest of grins and he let out a soft chuckle. He brought Vittorio down to hold him to his chest, one arm coming to rest beneath him in order to hold him up, gently bouncing the little guy as he admired the sight of him. His free hand came to find Vianna's as he turned to look at her, flashing her a bit of a grin before returning his gaze to Vittorio.

ooc: Yeahhh I hate making posts when I'm tired. They don't come out good! But yeah, the week will hopefully pass by quickly and then we can really move on with the RP!

Vianna was absentmindedly watching Ferris examine their nephew's little hand with amusement and endearment in her gaze, also finding herself a little fascinated by the sight of such a tiny hand, of a child this small sitting obediently and quietly on her lap. She smiled warmly as the boy placed a kiss on her cheek, watching as the boy at her side now proceeded to take little Vittorio into his hands and off her lap, placing him on his own lap instead. The tiny one-year-old merely stared up at Ferris shamelessly, with very large and curious eyes, suddenly frozen as he was a little unfamiliar with this man that had suddenly taken him away from his aunt. But the baby was quick to grow comfortable again, it was just part of his nature, and it also helped that Ferris radiated a sense of trust when it came to kids, making it easier for the baby to adjust to him, to find no danger in being near him.

Vianna watched this with an amused smile, her crystal blue eyes sparkling with adoration at that confused little expression that had taken over the baby's soft features for a moment, completely endeared by it. "Vittorino ... questo è il tuo zio," the girl informed the baby in soft Italian, smiling warmly as his curious caramel-brown eyes turned to her as she spoke, before he returned his gaze to Ferris as the young man picked him up, holding him right in front of him. Vittorio listened quietly as he was addressed in a language that was for the most part foreign to him; Victor spoke to him in English as often as he could, but for the most part he was surrounded by his mother and other family members, all of which spoke to the little one only in Italian. The baby's gaze left the pair before him as Ferris then adjusted him to lay against his chest, his eyes watching the crowd absentmindedly for a moment before he turned back to this man that was holding him, the one he always seemed to find with his aunt. But the baby said nothing, he merely stared up at the older man for a moment before his curious little hands met the boy's jawline, passing over his scruff before pulling his hand back and staring at it, as if expecting to find something there.

Vianna watched all of this with amusement, chuckling softly at the baby's curiosity as one of her hands wrapped around the boy's, while the other came to rest upon her growing belly. "I think he likes you," said Vianna softly, her gaze still on her little nephew as he now tried to push himself up to stand on Ferris's lap, obviously a little reluctant to just sit still at the moment. He may have been unusually calm for a baby, but he was still a baby, and so he was full of energy, eager to move and explore. Vianna watched this for a moment before chuckling again, suddenly. "Who would've thought? Only six years ago, my brother was doing everything in his power to get you out of our lives. Now… he's attending our baby shower and you're holding his child. It's rather ironic," she commented, obviously rather amused by the way things how turned out, by how a situation could change so drastically in only six years.

OOC: I know, none of my tired posts ever turn out well either! And yeah, this week will go by fast enough and then it's Fervi time!

Ferris let out a hearty chuckle, one that sort of boomed merrily from his chest, as the little baby boy resting in his arm brought up a hand to stroke his scruffy face before bringing it back and staring at it. "Yeah, I know, I need to shave," the young man replied with a bit of a grin, admiring the sight of his little face before watching as the little guy got up to his feet, standing on his lap. The young man kept a hand on his back to make sure that he didn't fall over or something, the last thing he wanted was for the little guy to tumble to the floor. It was then that Vianna spoke, mentioning her suspicions that Vittorio liked him. His eyebrows rose slightly at this comment, his brown eyes turning to her as he flashed her a bit of a grin. "Yeah?" he replied, unable to help himself feeling good about this. It was nice to know that the child (who was closer to Gabe's soon to be age than any child he'd been around in recent years) seemed to like him, that he seemed to be happy with him.

It was then that Vianna continued, chuckling rather randomly before pointing out how funny it was that six years ago Victor was trying his best to get Ferris out of the Vincenzis' lives and now he was entrusting his own baby within the young man's arms, and attending Fervi's own baby shower. Ferris let out a hearty chuckle as he was reminded of this, brown eyes sparkling as he turned his gaze to the woman at his side. "Yeah, Victor didn't really like me hanging around with his beautiful little sister," he said with a bit of a grin, bringing up her hand to gently place a kiss on the back of it. Memories flooded back to him of his first month with Vianna, of those days when they were hardly trusted to be in the same room alone yet had snuck around in order to sleep at one another's side. Well rather Ferris, being that sick puppy, found his way over to her side every night he could. And here they were, at their own baby shower.

"Apparently sharing a bed and never leaving your side wasn't exactly nice for your big scary older brother," he murmured with the warmest of smiles, leaning forward to peck her lips lovingly, brown eyes sparkling.

ooc: Wooooooottt!! & I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Vianna gave a light, amused giggle as Ferris commented that Victor didn't want him around his beautiful little sister, obviously flattered by his words, before his lips met the back of her hand gently in a kiss; it was a gesture that was far from uncommon at this point in the couple's lives, but it still made her feel as loved now as it did back when it was all just starting, so many years ago. The girl's blue eyes then fell upon the baby now standing on her husband's lap, watching him absentmindedly and with endearment as she listened to Ferris speak, now commenting on how apparently it seemed that sharing a bed and never leaving her side wasn't exactly nice for her big, scary older brother. The girl chuckled softly at this, amused, but the chuckles died out eventually as his lips met her own in a kiss that the girl was quick to return lovingly and sweetly for the brief second it lasted.

Vianna giggled lightly as, just before the kiss was really over and the couple had pulled away, little Vittorio was passing his hand over Ferris's face curiously, his little hand now coming to meet their noses and then passing over their lips as if asking, 'what are you doing?!' The girl pulled away with an amused chuckle, her crystal blue eyes sparkling at the baby who now just seemed puzzled as to why they would be laughing, as to how that gesture had been amusing. His caramel-coloured eyes traveled to the boy he was standing on then, inquisitive and a little expectant, as if waiting for the boy to explain himself to the little guy.

"Well! Look who's decided to pay the stars of this party a visit!" exclaimed Mrs. Vincenzi as she caught sight of little Vittorio standing on her son-in-law's lap. She flashed the little baby a grin as he turned his head in her direction curiously, a giggle unexpectedly escaping his lips. This only got Mrs. Vincenzi's matching caramel-coloured eyes to sparkle with pure adoration and endearment, watching as the little one now held his arms out in a silent request to be carried by his grandmother. "Aww, vieni qui, amore," murmured the woman softly as she took the baby into her arms, greeting him with a loving kiss on the cheek before turning to couple. "Has little Vittorio given you an idea of what to expect in just a few months?" she asked them, her eyebrows raising slightly with an amused smile before she returned her adoring gaze to the baby in her arms. "Oh Merlin, you're just like your father!" she commented, as if this was a crime the little baby was committing, though she was obviously amused by the resemblance, by how much he reminded her of the days her own son was this age. Vittorio merely gave his grandmother a small, shy smile before turning to Ferris and pointing one of his little fingers down toward the floor, pointing out the shoe he had pulled off and thrown to the floor earlier, as if asking to have it back.

OOC:

Upon pulling away from Vianna due to the small fingers sliding down his face, Ferris let out a hearty chuckle at the sight of Vittorio's curious little expression. "I know, I know, you're just like your father!" he joked as he stared back at those caramel coloured eyes, speaking as though the baby had intentionally passed his little hand over their kiss not as a curious desire for an explanation but rather to make them stop as the teenage Victor would've always preferred. Ferris flashed the little guy a grin before getting distracted by Mrs. Vincenzi's presence suddenly at their side, watching as she picked up the little baby who so obviously wanted to be in her arms.

The young man gave a small smile at the sight of a grandmother with her grandchild, hoping that one day little Gabe would be that eager to get in Mrs. Vincenzi's arms, that one day he'd earn her adoration as well. "I would say so," Ferris agreed with a soft chuckle as the woman asked if holding onto Vittorio had given them a peek into what they'd be expecting in the next few months. "Except little Gabe's still gonna be a bit smaller, just an infant," he reminded the girl at his side, flashing her a warm smile before turning back to Mrs. Vincenzi and Vittorio only to see those big caramel eyes back on him as his little finger pointed down to the shoe on the floor.

Raising his eyebrows at the silent request, Ferris let out a hearty chuckle before getting up from his chair and picking up the small shoe. It was tiny! It hardly covered up a third of his whole hand! Amazed momentarily, the young man then fastened the little shoe upon Vittorio's little foot, giving him a warm smile before returning to Vianna's side, sitting back down with a soft sigh. After a moment of thoughtfulness from the young man, his arm slipped comfortably around Vianna's waist, pulling her right into his side as he leaned down to let his lips kiss her forehead. "I want Gabe here too," he admitted softly, repeating her statement from minutes before.

Vianna gave a bit of a grin as she turned to the boy at her side as he spoke, sharing that little Gabe would be a bit smaller than Vittorio, something that made perfect sense as little Vittorio was a little over a year old now, and Gabe would just be a newborn. She watched with amused and endeared crystal blue eyes as Ferris then picked up Vittorio's shoe from the wooden floors of their living room, then proceeding to place it on the little one's foot. Little Vittorio's large caramel eyes glistened with a fascinated curiosity, as if this was a study and he was trying to figure out the mechanics of pulling on and off a shoe. He was definitely a curious one, and would learn fast. The baby in Mrs. Vincenzi's arms gave Ferris a small smile once the shoe was securely around his little foot before Mrs. Vincenzi excused herself from the scene, taking the baby with her and muttering something about getting him to his mother who usually didn't like spending too much time away from him and was probably worried about his whereabouts.

Vianna watched the pair go and sighed softly, the hand that was absentmindedly resting on her belly now beginning to rub it distractedly, crystal blue eyes watching the little one's own caramel-coloured ones as he disappeared into the crowd in the arms of his spoiling grandmother, who was always sure to shower him in kisses and sweet Italian treats whenever she saw him. Vianna turned to the boy at her side as his arm fell around her waist and he admitted to wanting Gabe there too, something to which the girl smiled warmly. "He'll be here soon enough, " she said softly, her blue eyes falling to her growing belly which was still rather small. "And when he is, I'm not going to let him go for a second," she added, her smile widening slightly with hints of playfulness as her gaze returned to the boy at her side. "I'm sorry, Professor, but I might want to hog up all of little Gabe's time once he gets here, you might have to catch me off-guard or distracted to steal him from me," she added playfully, obviously only joking around. She wouldn't seriously keep the boy from spending as much time possible with his newborn son, and she was looking forward to seeing the baby in her husband's arms almost as much as she was looking forward to holding him in her own arms; but it was just such an exciting thought, that of holding such a tiny being in your arms, of protecting them and teaching them things that are so basic and simple yet so fascinating to the little ones. Having Vittorio around, even if it was just for a short while, made the girl grow all the more excited about holding her own child, about spending lazy mornings just the three of them - Ferris, Gabe, and herself - in their comfortable bed, relishing in this adorable new company they'd have, this little visitor who would be arriving soon to stay in their lives forever.

Ferris listened, his brown eyes absentmindedly staring out at the socializing crowd, as Vianna spoke, mentioning that Gabe would be with them soon enough and when he arrived, she wasn't going to let him go for a second. The young man let his eyebrows raise at this statement, a warm smile coming onto his pale expression as he let out a hearty chuckle and turned his head to look at the girl at this side. "Oh yeah?" he replied playfully, quieting as she then continued, explaining further that he'd have to catch her off guard in order to steal the little baby away from her, that she'd be hogging up all his time. "Yeah, we'll see about that," he said playfully, his thoughtful expression now stretching into the warmest of his smiles, thinking about this.

He couldn't wait to have the little guy in his arms, really there; with an actual expression that would look back at him, with actual big eyes that would share a gaze with him. The idea of sharing this little bundle of joy with his wife only brought more excitement to him, made his heart jump. Lazy days spent with their little baby, their own child, showing him everything and anything under the sun... It was more exciting than he could've ever expected it to be.

"Are you trying to tell me that I'm going to have a hard time being alone with my wife now?" Ferris then asked playfully, a small smile sneaking onto his pale face. "Am I going to be replaced by our baby?" he joked, flashing her a bit of a teasing grin as he pulled her closer, the tip of his nose gently coming to rest momentarily on her temple, his lips near her ear as he spoke to her. "I know he's going to be cute, but I'd like to think that maybe my face won't seem all that horrible in comparison," he continued, obviously just joking with her as he planted a couple kisses to the side of her lightly tanned expression.

Vianna listened as the boy at her side asked her if this meant that he was going to have a hard time being alone with his wife now, something which got her to chuckle softly, her blue-eyed gaze amused as it fell upon his own brown-eyed one. "Perhaps," she replied vaguely, playfully, listening as he went on to ask if he was going to be replaced by their baby. Vianna rose her eyebrows slightly at him then before giggling lightly at the question, obviously amused by it as she shook her head slightly. But she said nothing, and instead listened quietly as he continued, this time hoping aloud that his face won't seem all that horrible in comparison to that of their son. Vianna giggled lightly once more, her blue eyes watching her hand as it absentmindedly rubbed her perfectly round growing belly. "I think he'll put us both to shame with his cuteness," she said with a soft chuckle. "But... if he's a part of us and he's going to be so adorable, we can't possibly be that bad," she added with another chuckle, playfully, well aware that she and Ferris were far from an eyesore, though she was never conceited about it. But the girl didn't care; even if their baby didn't look like a porcelain doll to most, he would to her; he would be the most adorable child, the most lovable little thing, and she will dedicate herself to taking care of him, to protecting him, and to teaching him the ways of the world.

And it was at around this time that some guests began to part, as the party had been going on for hours now, actually longer than most baby showers lasted, due to the amount of presents the happy parents received and had to open. It was nearing late afternoon and though the sun was still out, the sky wasn't as bright as it had been when it was all just starting. "We should probably go join the others before everyone leaves, Professor," said the girl softly as she lifted her gaze from her belly, sitting up on the couch and slowly getting up to her feet, slowed down by her growing belly that felt heavier almost each passing day.

OOC: Only on for a half hour or so right now...

Ferris couldn't help but grin as Vianna mentioned that little Gabe would probably put both of his parents to shame with his cuteness, letting out a soft chuckle at her comment. "I don't know about his mum," he muttered with an amused smile, planting one more loving kiss to her temple. "She's pretty hard to beat..." He listened as she continued, mentioning that if their little Gabe was made from the two of them, they couldn't have possibly been all that bad. He let out another light laugh at this statement, brown eyes sparkling at her for a moment, "Yeah, well I guess we're not all that bad." It was true that Ferris's self esteem had gone up quite a bit throughout the years of being with Vianna; but how could it not when he had the most beautiful girl on the planet telling him he was cute all the time? Despite this, his views were still very biased in his wife's favour and he always thought Vianna was on a different level of attractive, which he was completely happy with. The young man had never really took much value in looks or anything of the sort and so it didn't really matter all that much to him what he looked like, as long as Vianna still liked his appearance.

And then, when he looked up next, suddenly people were starting to leave and the room had been reduced to half of its previous occupancy. Ferris listened as Vianna spoke as she got up from her seat, mentioning that they should go and visit with their guests before everyone had to leave. He let out a sigh of mock reluctance, getting to his feet and in affect returning to his towering height of 6'4. (And yes, sometime in the past six years, his doctor told him that he had officially stopped growing; there would be no taller height for the young man. Which was probably a good thing, since he was already towering over...well, pretty much everyone.) "What if I want to keep my wife all to myself?" he grumbled playfully as he slipped his lanky arms around her from behind, his chin coming down to rest on her shoulder. "She's all cute and pregnant and I don't think I want to share her," he continued with a warm amused smile, planting a kiss to her cheek.

ooc: I wasn't hereeeeee =[

Vianna's blue-eyed gaze lifted as she watched her very, very tall husband get up to his feet, almost a whole foot of height difference between them. They were quite an amusing pair, though, Vianna now all round in the belly and short in comparison to her husband who remained as slender as he had always been and towered over her. But despite this huge difference between the pair, they were still quite adorable, as the love and adoration they felt for each other was so easy to see and catch just by looking at them, by seeing the way they exchanged glances and smiles so joyously. They were lovestruck for one another and it was easy to see, and it was something they planned on keeping that way forever, to never let change.

Vianna smiled warmly at the sight of their guests, only distracted as the boy behind her wrapped his arms around her waist, asking what would happen if he wanted to keep his wife all to himself, as she was all cute and pregnant and he wasn't sure he wanted to share her. Vianna laughed with amusement at this, endeared by the boy's words, her warm smile widening slightly as his lips met her cheek gently. "Well, I wouldn't want our guests to think that my Professor was being rude, hogging the mummy-to-be all to himself, not letting the guests wish her a proper farewell!" said the girl, amusement in her blue eyes as she turned her head toward the boy and placed a kiss on his chin, the highest she could reach without standing on her toes.

OOC: Don't even worry about it Dee, I was literally on for like...half an hour. That's like...one post for the both of us in Fervi time. I was off pretty soon after I posted!

Ferris listened with an amused smile as Vianna spoke, mentioning that she didn't want their guests to think that her Professor was being rude, hogging up the mummy-to-be all to himself and not letting their guests wish her farewell. "Maybe your Professor is hogging up the mummy-to-be," he replied with a playful raise of his eyebrows, raising his head from its place on her shoulder as she turned around in his arms and proceeded to place a sweet kiss to his chin. The young man knew very well that this was the place chosen for the kiss because it was the highest she could reach, and he couldn't help but grow to be completely and totally endeared; he sort of loved their height difference. But a kiss to his chin, knowing that it was because she wasn't tall enough to kiss any higher, was something he found to be endlessly adorable and made her seem all that much smaller. "I love it when you do that," he murmured with a lopsided grin, turning his sparkling brown gaze to her and in turn leaning down just slightly as he'd grown accustomed to doing.

"I think that your Professor shouldn't be blamed for his hogging of the gem," Ferris suggested playfully, resting his forehead on her own very gently as he pulled her closer. "He really can't be helped, you know," he grumbled to her with a bit of an amused smile, kissing her nose gently, lovingly for just a moment. "He's just a poor old bloke who really," he kissed her cheek sweetly, "...really," He placed a kiss to her lips momentarily, "...really loves his gem."

ooc: Oh, okay!

Vianna couldn't help but give a bit of a grin as Ferris shared with her that he loved when she 'did that', assuming that he could only be referring to the times when she'd place a kiss on his chin, as she had just done. "I'm glad you like my inability to kiss your lips without standing on my toes, Professor," she said playfully with a chuckle, giggling lightly to herself then, sounding almost childlike with her amusement. The girl soon grew quiet, though, and listened as Ferris went on to add that he shouldn't be blamed for the hogging of his gem, that he was just a poor bloke who really, really loved her. Vianna giggled as the boy's lips playfully awarded her kisses between words, her crystal blue eyes sparkling up at him with a sort of daze, but with a clear joy and admiration. She loved him too much, far more than words could ever express.

But the girl was snapped out of her daze as an all too familiar pair came up to them, one of the guests clearing their throat softly. Vianna turned to the newcomers then, only to find it was Giuliana and Luca. "You two are exactly the same way you were when I first saw you together, y'know," commented the girl a little unexpectedly, but she couldn't help be a little endeared by Fervi, and felt the need to share her view with them. "Except, of course, my cousin is carrying a big belly around now!"

Vianna chuckled softly at her cousin's words, her crystal blue eyes now sparkling in her direction before the curly-haired girl spoke once more, "Anyway, Luca and I just came to say good-bye," she said with a small smile. "We had a great time, and we're really, really looking forward to seeing Gabe soon," she added, her smile widening.

Vianna grinned at the mention of this, quite eager herself to introduce the little baby to all of her friends and family once he was born. "Thanks for coming, Gi," said the girl softly, just before sharing a tight hug with her cousin, then another with Luca who said his farewells in Italian as he was still unfamiliar with the English language, wishing the couple good luck, taking Ferris's hand and shaking it gently for a moment with a comment in Italian and a polite smile before he and Giuliana disappeared back into the dispersing crowd, and eventually out the home of the happy married couple.

ooc: Uwaaaa I'm off for now Ruthersssss! I'm soooooo tired! I'll see you again soon, hopefully!! But if not, then yeah, the countdown continues! Hehe.
Byeeeeeeee Ruthie Ruthersssss!!

OOC: Awww alright then Dee Deruperssss! The countdown continues!

Ferris relished in the sight of her blue eyes sparkling at him in that way, loving the way her entire expression seemed to brighten. And that was it; that was all he needed. He was sure of it, sure that he needed nothing else than that sparkle of her blue eyes to keep him going, keep him smiling. But she was just so naturally bright, and he couldn't help but be slightly amused that the name he'd playfully given her six years ago fit her so well, would stick with them all this years. Gem. It had almost become a synonym for Vianna in his eyes, and half the time he called her by that as though it truly was her name. But it was an endearing nickname that he'd latched onto and he had no intentions of letting it go; it was perfect for her, she was bright and the person that truly lightened up all of his days. She was just light a sparkling jewel.

He was just admiring the sight of her blue eyes, his own brown ones starting to sparkle in that goofy sort of way, when Giuliana and Luca showed up on the scene. Ferris seemed to snap out of his daze a their presence, jumping just slightly as he realized that they were still in the middle of a party. What was it about Vianna that got him to forget everything else on the planet? He gave a bit of a sheepish smile as he turned to the pair, listening as Giuliana mentioned that he and Vianna were exactly the same as when she'd first seen them together, except for Vianna's growing belly. His sheepish smile slipped into a brighter, more genuine grin at this comment. But he sort of loved that about himself and Vianna, that they were just in love six years later as they were when they first met; he wanted to keep it that way, he knew his own feelings would never change for the girl at his side. She was everything to him, she always had been, and he knew that that would never change. By the looks of things, by the way Vianna returned his kisses and brightened his days, she was feeling the same way. And that mutual love was the most special thing the young man had ever really felt in all of his life. He loved that.

Ferris listened as she continued to explain that she and Luca were leaving, giving them both hugs and farewells until all too soon they were out the door, travelling back to their own home. The young man gave a soft sigh at this, not exactly happy to see them go. But it was hard to get all of their family and friends together like this, it only happened a select few times a year. And so it was a little difficult to just let them all go, despite the fact that he was rather looking foward to having Vianna back to himself, to have their little house back to normal once more.

Slowly but surely, everyone started to come up and say goodbye to the couple of the hour. They gave their hugs and best wishes, all mentioning how much they were looking forward to seeing little Gabe upon his arrival. Ferris returned all of these farewells, shaking hands and hugging all of his friends and family, knowing that they all had to return to their own homes. But after what could've been a thousand 'thank you's, the house was empty, the last guest had left. The young man let out a long sigh as he plopped down onto their couch, brown eyes closing just slightly as he stretched out. But today had been a pretty long day for the young man who usually slept a little longer and ate a little more on his Saturdays, not to mention the stress he went through to keep Vianna upstairs to surprise her. Everything had taken a bit of a toll on him.

OOC: Please let me know if you don't want to move on to where all of the guests are gone like I already did! If you don't want that, you can just post whatever you want with the guests still there and then when I get on next I'll edit this post to match!

ooc: Ohh no, that's fine! I want the guests out! !

It would be a lie to say that Vianna wasn't feeling completely tired after this wonderful but very long and busy day. She had it easier than Ferris, though, as she didn't have the stress of keeping someone locked upstairs to keep them from discovering a surprise, and she had eaten quite well during the party as everyone seemed to be a little more concerned with stuffing the mum-to-be and the baby with all different types of food, catering to each of her cravings, and unfortunately not many people were that concerned with keeping the poor father-to-be well-fed. But even so, the girl was still tired, and her back was complaining to her, asking her to sit and rest, perhaps have another bubble bath, and just relax so it could receive a break.

But this was Vianna; it wasn't very often that she let exhaustion overpower enthusiasm and excitement. And this was one of those times where, despite craving for a nap or a warm bath, the girl was also feeling rather excited; excited about all these gifts little Gabe had just received, and excited to help set them up in his nursery room.
After spending a couple long moments by the table covered in opened gifts, examining each gift with a smile on her face, Vianna turned around to the boy who'd just plopped down onto the couch, obviously quite exhausted from this long day. Vianna smiled warmly at the sight of him, feeling a little bad that he hadn't gotten as much rest and as much food as he probably would have preferred. "Should I bring you something, Professor?" asked Vianna. "There's still quite a bit of food left," she added, beginning to pick up some of the mess of gift-wrapping paper that had been left on the wooden floors of the living room. "I think I'm going to clean up a bit, just so we don't have so much to do tomorrow, and I'll go set up some of Gabe's things in his room," she shared with a bit of a grin obviously a little excited about this and reluctant to just stay still. "What should I get for you, Professor?" asked the girl before disappearing into the kitchen, where she proceeded to throw away the paper and set some of the dishes to wash themselves, then going on to serve their pets (who had also been a bit neglected today when it came to food) their food in their little bowls.

OOC: Bahahahaha!

Ferris was staring at the ceiling for a long moment from his laying position on the couch, his dark brown eyes focused solely on the beige colour of the high ceilings of their home, gaze absentminded as memories of the past day flooded through him. It seemed much later in the day than it was to him. It must've only been six o'clock or so, but he couldn't help but find himself rather exhausted. He broke his staring contest with the ceiling as Vianna spoke, asking if she should bring him something, a comment that got his brown eyes to turn to her. He smiled faintly at the sight of her rifling through the gifts, cleaning up bits of paper as she announced that she was going to clean up and take some things to Gabe's room. The young man remained silent for a moment, admiring the sight of her being such a cute little pregnant lady before finally answering her as she offered to get him something once more. "Vi..." he started, about to answer her when she drifted off into the kitchen. He let out a soft chuckle at her disappearance from the room, getting up to his feet and following her silently into the next room.

"I have something else for you," Ferris admitted to the back of his wife as he leaned back against the doorframe of the kitchen, a slightly lopsided amused smile on his pale face as he watched her refill all of their pets' foods. It would seem as though his train of thought had changed from answering her offer to something completely different somewhere between the living room and the kitchen. Though he was obviously a bit tired, his brown eyes seemed much more alert with a bit of a sparkle to them as he watched her from the doorway. "I sort of...saved something for you from the party," he explained as he absentmindedly brought a hand up to scratch the back of his neck. "Well, technically it wasn't really at the party, but my mum suggested it when we were planning it all out and I decided that it might be better if I saved it for just you," the young man began to ramble, his gaze falling to the floor before him as he drifted away from the point as he so often did when trying to explain something. "Well, technically it's a little different from what it would've been at the party, but I think...or well, rather I hope that you'll like it just the same..." And he continued to ramble on and on, obviously hardly finding the will to stop himself or even realizing how much he was just going on and on.

Vianna was standing by the sink, collecting all of the dirty dishes and setting them into the sink to wash themselves before moving on to take the dishes that had just finished washing and setting them away in the corresponding cabinets. She had no idea Ferris had entered the room until she heard his voice in the kitchen, only a short distance away as he stood by the doorway, sharing with her that he had something else for her. At this, Vianna's eyebrows rose slightly, though she continued moving around, cleaning up like a tornado that had the opposite effect, cleaning rather than destroying everything in its path. But as the boy continued speaking, sharing that he had saved something for her from the party, Vianna's light eyebrows rose again just slightly, her crystal blue eyes beginning to sparkle with curiosity, that childlike curiosity that so often took over her features every time there were any hints to a surprise made.

Vianna said nothing now, growing still as she turned on her feet, now facing the boy that was still leaning against the doorframe leading into and out of the kitchen. The girl listened quietly and attentively as he continued, explaining that what he had saved for her wasn't really at the party but he had decided to just save it for her. This, of course, made no sense to the girl whose expression was slowly turning from curious to confused with each word that escaped her husband's lips. Vianna remained silent for the next couple moments as he continued rambling on and on, her brows furrowing slightly before a smile graced her lips as she shook her head slightly with a soft chuckle. "Professor, slow down!" she asked of him with amusement on her features, walking up to him and flashing the boy the brightest of smiles. "Now, how about you tell me what this surprise is so your poor little wife doesn't have to suffer being lost and confused anymore," said the girl, giving him a pout, though there was amusement still in her blue eyes, overpowered by her childlike curiosity.

OOC: Only on for like five seconds again!

Ferris finally quit his rambling (which was most likely brought on by his slight exhaustion and the way he so easily lost place of when he should stop talking) as Vianna asked him to slow down. Upon realizing how much he'd been talking, he let out a sheepish smile that revealed his dimples, brown eyes falling to the floor before returning to his wife as she approached him and suggested that he tell her what the surprise was so that his poor little wife didn't have to be lost and confused anymore. He admired the sight of her little pout, brown eyes falling into a bit of a daze at the sight of her own blue eyes. "I got you a cake," the young man finally admitted with a warm smile as his arms slipped around her slender waist, hoping that this announcement wasn't a complete disappointment, unaware of what his rambling might've gotten her creative mind to imagine.

"It's not that big of a cake," he admitted as he gently pulled her closer on instinct. "My mum was discussing getting it for the party but then I thought that we might not have enough left overs for my little gem," Ferris explained, brown eyes refusing to leave her blue ones. "So we decided it'd be better to just get one for you. So I did. And I hope you like it because I sort of changed it." He flashed her a grin.

ooc: Awwwww!! Alright, Ruthers!

Vianna's eyebrows rose in surprise as Ferris shared with her that he'd gotten her a cake, something which in the past wouldn't have been too big of a deal for the girl, as she wasn't necessarily huge on sweets, but ever since she ended up pregnant three months ago, she'd found herself completely addicted to anything that was sweet and full of sugar, and the mention of a cake got her to grin brightly. "A cake?" she repeated, crystal blue eyes beginning to grow excited. She paused for a moment to take a look around then, as if expecting the cake to just magically apparate on their dining table before turning back to the tall boy before her. "Where is it?" she asked eagerly, then listening as he shared with her that he and his mother had considered getting it for the party, but opted best not to as there might not be enough left overs for her. At this, Vianna's jaw dropped and she gasped. "What is that supposed to mean, Professor?!" she asked, though not honestly offended but rather amused. "Are you trying to say I've turned into a little... food monster and I would devour a whole cake all by myself?" she asked, something which would have sounded ridiculous three months ago. But now that she was eating for two... the idea of Vianna eating a whole cake alone didn't seem so far-fetched anymore; though that depended on the size of the cake too, of course. Vianna was distracted from her playful accusations as the boy then continued, sharing with her that he had sort of changed the cake, and hoped she would like it. Vianna's eyebrows rose at this. "What do you mean you changed it?" she asked curiously.

OOC: On for a little while again! Are you on Dee? Doesn't look like it, but whatever, I guess we'll see...

Ferris, who was in the middle of explaining himself, stopped his speech as Vianna spoke, asking what he meant when he'd told his mother that left overs might not be enough for her. Had he not known she was just teasing him, he might've grown completely flustered and tried to correct himself. But he could easily see those bright blue eyes sparkling with playfullness and he couldn't help but give an amused smile as she asked if he was trying to say that she'd turned into a little food monster and would devour a whole cake all by herself. He let out a soft chuckle at her word choice, a warm smile coming onto his pale face as he pulled her closer and lovingly kissed her forehead. "Of course not!" he grumbled playfully, letting out another light laugh as the phrase 'little food monster' crossed his mind once more. "I just thought...that since my beautiful little wife is eating for two...she might just want a little more than a couple pieces..." he explained with a bit of a grin. And he obviously meant that she'd want more than two pieces over a period of time. Even pregnant Vianna couldn't eat a whole cake in just one sitting! But Vianna had a habit (as of recent) of eating what she was craving at any time it occured to her, no matter what time of the day it was or how much she'd already eaten. And so, he knew that his wife might appreciate having a cake she could eat continuously over a few days, knowing how much she and Gabe liked the sweets. It was then that she asked what he meant by changing the cake and Ferris gave a small smile at this, brown eyes admiring her for a moment before he gently released her waist and crossed over to the dining table. Once there he took out his wand and muttered a spell, causing a three-layered cake to appear on the table, decorated in a beautiful light green colour and topped with a little figure of a baby wrappd up in a blanket. On the first level of the good sized cake there was iced writing that displayed the words (instead of something sentimental and adorably baby-related as it might've if they'd used it at the party), 'Cake for the Cutest Pregnant Lady Around'. "I changed it..." Ferris started as he watched the cake appear, "..because instead of just holding cake, it holds a double vanilla cake with a center of Cookies 'N Cream ice cream; your favourite, if I remember correctly..." the young man explained before finally turning his brown eyes to the girl across from him in the kitchen, flashing her a sheepish grin. And then, as though this three layered cake wasn't enough to fill his wife's demanding appetite, he held up a bag of classic white fluffy marshmallows, a tradition that had been with Fervi since the very beginning. They rarely had time to just sit around and eat marshmallows as of recent, but somehow they always found their way back to a good bag of the sugary treats, like their bodies had somehow been wired to desire marshmallows every once in a while. "My mum also had some extra marshmallows from the party appetizers."

ooc: I wasn't ooonnnnnnnnn! -Siiiiigh-

Vianna gave a light, amused giggle as Ferris explained himself after she playfully accused him, explaining to her that he thought she'd want more than just two pieces of cake, now that she was eating for two, something which she couldn't really deny. The girl was distracted from her amusement, though, as Ferris then released her waist and headed over to the dining table only a few steps away; she turned, watching with interest as the then pulled out his wand, and only a moment later, a three-layered cake appeared on the table, decorated beautifully and causing the girl's crystal blue eyes to widen slightly with surprise, a large smile adorning her lightly tanned face. "Wow…" she said softly, now walking over to the dining table and standing beside her husband, a couple giggles escaping her lips as she read the words written in icing on the first layer of the cake, one of her hands absentmindedly coming to rest on her growing belly. She listened attentively as Ferris spoke once more, explaining to her that instead of just holding cake, the cake actually held a double vanilla cake with a center of cookies 'n cream ice cream, the girl's favourite. Vianna's eyebrows rose at this, blue eyes widening just slightly before she turned her gaze away from the cake and to the boy at her side with a warm smile, rather endeared by the thoughtfulness he'd put into this. And it was then that he pulled out a bag of classic white marshmallows, just like the ones they'd always eaten since they were only sixteen and seventeen, a tradition they'd started so many years ago back at camp. "Professor…" said Vianna softly, her gaze of the bag of marshmallows before it returned to his brown eyes, sparkling brightly up at him before she leaned on her toes at that moment and placed her lips upon the boy's in a very sweet and very loving grateful kiss, one that let him know how much she appreciated this, how much she appreciated him.

OOC: I know, but it's cool! We're just good at not being on at the same time!

Ferris watched with sparkling brown eyes as Vianna examined her cake, merely letting out a 'Professor' as she learned that the cake was filled in the center with her favourite kind of ice cream. He couldn't help but give a bit of a grin at this response, watching as she finally turned to him only to notice the marshmallows in his hand and then returned her gaze to his own only to reveal her beautiful sparkling blue eyes. His smile widened at the sight of this, admiring that smile he loved so much before she suddenly leaned up onto her toes in that way that made his heart jump just to plant her lips onto his own in a kiss he couldn't help but return. The marshmallow bag slipped from his hand and onto the floor as his brown eyes fluttered closed, his lanky arms slipping around that waist he knew so well as he returned the kiss as lovingly as he could. But there was just something about her kissing him, something about that gesture that was a huge relief to his entire body; like his body was craving it all the time their lips weren't connected and he never fully realized it until they were kissing once more. But Ferris could also hint the gratefulness in this kiss, the way that she seemed so appreciative of his gesture, of the way she suddenly made him feel like he was appreciated. And it felt good, to be completely and totally honest. Kissing was some form of communication for Fervi, they tended to say things without words when their lips came into contact and he immediately could sense a sort of loving appreciation in the way she kissed him. It felt so amazing to know that, to feel that she really recognized sometimes what he tried to do for her. And he was sending back every sense of loving he could possibly communicate. He did things like this because he wanted her happy, he wanted her to be ecstatic because he loved her more than anything else on the planet. Suddenly, upon receiving all of this appreciation, he wanted her to know how much he loved her, how much he wanted to keep her happy and his lips became even sweeter, even more gentle upon her own rosy ones. There suddenly wasn't any space between them and the young man had trouble remembering the last time they'd kissed like this in recent memory.
