Lauren softly inched closer to him, a smile on her face. It was times like this that made her not care about being in a tent in the middle of the rain forest. Things like this that reminded her why she was here.
"Good." She said slowly, moving a bit closer.

He thought back to the first DADA class she had ever taught at Hogwarts. Well, after the first DADA class she had ever taught. To think, he had almost turned her down. Luckily, she had tried a second time, and that was the start of it all. He was glad she had done that, as he didn't know where he would be if that hadn't happened.
They were only inches apart know, and his badly scarred eyes met hers deeply, like they had done on many an occasion in the past.

Lauren smiled, still slowly inching in. Resting her forhead against his, she softly ran a finger down his chest. It was surprising how familiar all this was to her. The same situation that had started everything, only this time they were a lot better off.
"Dante," She whispered, glancing down at his lips.

He brushed one of her blonde locks behind her ear as their forheads met. He had a small grin on his face, knowing what was coming. He looked into her eyes, then at her lips, and back into her eyes.
"Yeah?" he asked playfully.

Lauren gave in, softly meeting his lips for a moment. She smiled as he brushed aside her hair, stalling for time. "I'm.. pregnant." She whispered, waiting for his reaction. To anyone else this would be exciting, a gift. But right now Lauren didn't know how to take it... and she had no idea how he would.

He just smiled at her revelation. It was a slight surprise, but not a bad one. They had been sleeping together regularly. He quite liked the thought of a baby. Though it would be different, was it a coincedence he had mentioned a potentially permanent residence before she revealed this?
He didn't say anything, he just lifted her gently on top of him as he rolled onto his back. Placing one hand behind her neck, he ran his other hand down her back.

Lauren smiled, glad that he didn't seem upset. Sitting up a bit, she met his gaze, a confused look on her face.
"That's it?" She asked, surprised he hadn't said anything. Not one word about the future, or baby names, or even a laugh. Placing both hands on his chest she awaited his reply, slightly disappointed, but a small smile still on her face.

He looked up at herfrom his lying position, her sat across his hips. He smiled genuinely at her. Surely she knew he wasn't really one for showing much emotion. Even if it was a great event in their lives.
"It's amazing," he said truthfully, one hand on each of her legs.

Lauren watched his gaze for a moment, pulling up the top of her tanktop. "Yeah..." She sighed absently with a slight smile. Dante wasn't one for emotion, but she thought something like this would change him.

He let his left hand glide over her toned stomach. He kept it there, his fingers gently pressed against her bare skin. He looked from her stomach, to her eyes, the smile on his face widening.
"I think this calls for celebration," he said softly, the calming sounds of the rainforest audible in the background.

Lauren smiled, placing a hand on his, covering her stomach. She had thought about it a lot latley. A baby? Kind of a hassle... But also very exciting. Lauren offered him a slight smile before lifting herself off him to where she had been before.
"Yeah..." She said absently before leaning in to kiss him. "Night." She added lamely, rolling over so he now faced her back. Curling up, Lauren sighed, still slightly disappointed. Not all at him, he after all hadn't done anything really, mostly just at the situation. Shivering slightly, she pulled a blanket over her halfway. She wasn't a fan of being pregnant. Getting fat, Hot flashes, Mood swings, and morning sickness wasn't her thing, but maybe it would be worth it. Maybe.

He moved in closer, putting one arm over her waist and onto her stomach. He leaned his head in close to her ear. He knew she was disappointed at his reaction. Probably because he hadn't been blatantly enthusiastic. Even though it was good news.
"I love you," he said, this time actually saying the words, unlike earlier. Cuddling up to her he pulled the blanket oer them a little more, for warmth.

Lauren turned her head slightly so she could see him. With a slight smile, she tuned again, placing her hand on his, over her stomach. The distant calming sounds of the trees billowing in the wind soothed the situation.
"I know." She replied in a whisper, leaning her head back to kiss him softly before pulling the blanket over her neck and closing her eyes.

As they lay there, he rolled her over gently. Kissing her forehead, he let her rest her head on his chest. His arms wrapped loosely around her, he inched the blanket up slightly over them, and drifted off into sleep.
