A/N: Hey sorry for the wait on this chapter! I have been really busy with school and friends and crap! Umm please keep the comments and stuff up! They keep me writing!
Again I don't own inception! BTW: this is really just a filler chapter sorry!
" Okay so what exactly are we going to do?" Arthur questioned Cobb. They had arrived at the safe house about an hour ago and where now gathered in the expansive living room. Cobb was seated in an oversized armchair explaining their next step. Arthur was seated on the rather large leather couch with Ariande sitting in his lap. Eames was starring out the large scenic windows in the back of the house, there wasn't much to see considering the hosue was surrounded by trees.
Cobb sighed, " Okay so since obviously we aren't going to try and destroy Ariadne we need to think of a way to convince that we did. Its going to require that we try inception again."
" So were going to plant the idea in his head that you guys successfully preformed inception when you didn't?" Ariadne asked.
" No, were going to convince him that destroying you isn't necessary. Its going to be difficult though because Whells works in the dream business, meaning his subconscious will be militarized" Cobb glanced at Arthur, " Do you think you can start on his file tonight?"
" Of course," Arthur said pulling Ariadne just a little bit closer to himself. She seemed to realize that something was bothering the point man because she laid her head on his shoulder and starting running her hands through his hair in a comforting gesture. He smiled at her and gave her a light peck on the lips before turning back to group.
" So how many layers are we going to need?" Ariadne asked trying to keep on track.
"Well were going to have to go three layers deep again. So we will need three designs , I was thinking we could probably just modify the three we used on fischer.", Ariandne nodded her head . " Okay well lets get started, ill call Yusuf because we will probably need his help with sedatives".
With that Cobb stepped into the kitchen to call Yusuf who was currently in Mombassa. Ariadne turned to Arthur and kissed him lovingly before standing up and handing him his laptop, he gave her a small smile before going off to work in the library. Ariadne walked over to Eames who was still staring out the window.
" Hey you want to help me adjust these levels?" she asked him knowing until Arthur had all the details about Whells that Eames would have nothing to do.
He turned to her and grinned " Sure Darling I'll see what I can do to help". They set up Ariadne's sketch book and supplies up in one of the seven bedrooms the house had to offer. This one was located on the first floor and had a large black leather couch and sleek mahogany desk in it, so they could work comfortably.
It was about an hour later that Eames suggested they get something to eat. They had made significant work on the adjustments of the previous levels, adding more dead ends and short cuts just in case. They kept the overall designs the same making changes in the décor and colors to give the layouts a different feel.
When they exited the room they found Cobb sitting in the kitchen looking at his laptop. He looked up when they walked him, " Yusuf said he would help, he should be here around noon tomorrow".
" Okay, well we made some changes to the levels but I cant say their finished until we get some information from Arthur. I want to make sure the changes will work for Whells" Cobb nodded at this with a proud smile on his face. He couldn't help but think that Ariadne had come a long way from the first time they had met.
" Well I don't know about anyone else but I'm starving!" Eames exclaimed, Ariadne chuckled at his childish antics.
" Okay how about I go get Arthur and then we will decide what to order?" Ariadne offered. Cobb nodded and Eames mumbled a yea before starting to look through the drawers for take out menus. Ariadne headed towards the library , she quietly opened to door hoping not to interrupt Arthur. She walked in to find him typing away on his laptop with stacks of neatly folded print out surrounding him at the desk.
It didn't seem that he had heard her enter so she tiptoed up behind him and slipped her arms around his neck. He finished what he had been typing before closing the laptop and looking up at her.
" Hey" he greeted, she slowly walked around the arm of the chair until she was again sitting in his lap. He pulled her close like he had during the meeting before giving her a sweet kiss on the lips. When he pulled away he kept their foreheads connected, Ariadne could tell there was still something bothering him a little but she knew he would tell her when he was ready. " Eames sent me up to get you so we could order some dinner" she whispered before leaning in to kiss him again.
This kiss started off just as sweet as the last but it soon turned more heated when Arthur deepened it. They sat there just kissing and holding each other until they heard a knock at the door.
Eames booming voice came through soon after " Hey lovebirds could you please stop making out for two seconds so we can get some damn food?".
Ariadne and Arthur both laughed before pulling apart and heading towards the door with their hands interlocked.
When they opened the door Eames just shook his head and grumbled something about " this love sick teenager crap better not last forever!"
Arthur rolled his eyes at the forger moving around him to lead Ariadne towards the kitchen. By the time they had ordered their food they were all seated around the island in the kitchen catching up. Cobb was currently telling them a story about how Phillipa had told him she was going to marry their neighbor, who was twenty-five, because he gave her a new Barbie for her birthday. The all laughed at how worked up Cobb got at this.
They sat there joking and laughing as they ate. It reminded Ariadne of some of the family dinners she had as a kid. Ariande realized that these men where her family. Eames was like the older brother she always wanted, where Cobb was her father figure and Arthur was the love of her life. It made her happy to realize that she had a family again, it may be a family made of criminals and conmen, but it was a family all the same. She knew they would always be there for her and that's all that mattered.
So for the night at least the dangers that their current job would bring were push aside, and they all relished the feeling of belonging again.
