Wedding Bells and Sweet Baby Smells
It was day number two of their vacation and Musa had woken up to a beautiful sun rise, shining off the freshly fallen snow. She stood by the window watching it rise behind the thick pine trees.
"Isn't it amazing," said Riven as he snuck up behind Musa and wrapped his arms around her belly. "I remember my parents would get up every morning and watch the sun rise just like this."
"They must have really been in love," said Musa as she lend back into Riven's grasp. "My parents would always watch the sunset, my father use to say he liked how all the colors mixed together and created this light on my mother's face that took his breathe away."
"They must have really been in love too."
"Yep, so what's on the agenda for today?"
"Well, I've thought about this long and hard and if you're really careful, I think we should go ice skating, I saw a sign when we're in town yesterday that today was their winter celebration. There's gonna be ice skating at the outdoor rink, food and games, what do you think?"
"I think that is a wonderful idea, I love ice skating."
"Well then I say we head back to bed for a few more hours and then we can eat some breakfast, get dressed and head down to town. We'll probably have to pick up some skates first."
"Sounds good to me."

It was mid morning and Riven and Musa had arrived downtown to the winter festival. There were people milling around all over, skating, eating popcorn and drinking hot cider, playing the games and overall enjoying each others company. Riven lead Musa over to the sporting goods store where they both picked out brand new skates, and after trying them on and making sure they fit, they paid and then headed towards the stands around the rink.
"Are you sure, we'll be alright, I heard it's not good to skate in new skates and I don't want to fall and hurt the baby," said Musa as Riven laced up her skates for her.
"First of all, how do you expect the skates to get broken in if you don't skate in them and second of all I'll be holding your hand the entire time so if you start to slip or fall I'll be sure to catch you. I thought you were the one that loved ice skating?"
"I do but I was never pregnant while I was skating, I don't know about this anymore."
"Don't worry, I promise I will keep you safe, nothing is going to harm you or our baby."
"You swear."
"I swear on my life, now come on, the ice is awaiting us," said Riven as he finished lacing up his own skates and helped Musa down to the ice.
"Here goes nothing," said Musa as she put one foot onto the ice and then the other.
"There we go, now just hold on to my hand until you get your footing and then you'll be fine."
Riven and Musa skated around the ice for an hour and a half when all of a sudden a small child accidently slipped and bumped into Musa and Riven, causing Musa to slip herself and land on her bottom.
"Are you right," asked Riven as he kneel down looking at the shocked look on Musa's face. "Come on, Musa, talk to me."
And with that Musa burst out laughing and reached a hand out towards her husband. "I'm fine, it just shocked me, I can't believe I fell on my bottom, I'd forgotten how cold ice is to it."
"Are you sure you're already Miss.?" said the small child's mother who skated over when she saw what had happened.
"I'm fine, are you okay?" Musa asked the child who nodded their gently. "Well then all is well."
"Great, I think it's time we took a break and got something to eat, and then maybe play some of the games afterwards," said Riven as the child and their mother skated away.
"I think that's a perfect idea, my bottom is in need of some rest." So with that Musa and Riven made their way off the ice and to the stands where they took off their skates and then enjoyed some French fries and hot chocolate for their lunch.

After lunch Musa and Riven walked around the town hand in hand, looking at all the games there was. They came upon a booth that had some stuffed turtles as prizes.
"Hey Musa, how you would liked a stuffed a stuffed turtle," said Riven as he pointed towards the booth.
"I would love one; do you think you could win me one?"
"Easily, come one." Riven and Musa then made their way over towards the booth. In order to win a prize the person had to use a fishing pole with a metal hook on it and fish out two of the brightly colored fish from the spinning table. To make the game a bit hard the fishes mouths would open and close.
Riven found it a bit more hard as he had originally thought as he tried over and over again to get his hook onto the metal bar in the fish's mouth and then being gentle enough to pull the fish off of the table. Finally after what seemed like a million tries Riven had finally hooked two fish and had won Musa her stuffed turtle with a purple shell.
"Oh he's wonderful, thank you so much Hun," said Musa as she gave the turtle a squeeze and Riven a kiss on the cheek.
"You're welcome, but I think when our baby gets older we should stick to games that I can win a lot easier when they want stuffed animals."
"Oh you're so silly."
Musa and Riven walked around for a little while long and won a few teddy bears for their baby's room from games that Riven considered "easier" to play. After they were done they head to their car and headed back up to the cabin to make dinner and Musa enjoyed a nice hot soak in the bath to soothe her sore bottom from earlier in the day.

It was 2 am and Musa was woken up by a sharp scratching sound on the bedroom window and as she sat up she noticed that Riven's side of the bed was cold and that he was no where to be seen. She got up and opened up the curtains to see that a tree branch was making the scratching sounds on the window as the wind howled outside. She picked up her robe and tied it around her waist and then took one of the blankets off the bed and wrapped it around her as she made her way out of the bedroom to look for Riven.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Riven was to be found down in the living room, sitting on the floor in front of the fire, stoking it to keep the flames alive.
"Hey, there you are, I woke up and you were in bed," said Musa as she sat down beside Riven and wrapped the blanket around him too.
"I'm sorry, the storm woke me up and I figured I should come down and light a fire so that the cabin would stay warmer," said Riven as she looked at Musa. "You should be back in bed, under the warm covers; I don't want you or our baby getting sick."
"I'm already and besides I can't sleep when you're not there, I've grown attached to you," said Musa as she laid her head on Riven's shoulder as he put his arm around her.
"I guess that means you're gonna keep me around."
"Yeah I think I will."
"That's great, this storm looks and sounds pretty bad, I think we should just stay in today and hang around here."
"That sounds good to me, we could camp out on the sofa and watch movies all day and eat popcorn and chocolate sauce."
"Is that a weird food craving again, I thought you were over those?"
"No, it's not a weird craving; it's actually very good, you'll see, the mixture of salty and sweet will make your mouth water for more."
"Sure, but right now I think it's time for me and you to head back up to bed, I think this fire will last till we get up in the morning," said Riven as he stood up and put the fire grate around the fire.
"Okay, I was getting sleepy again anyways."
"Come on you, I'll carry you back to bed, if you want," said Riven as Musa nodded her head and he then picked her up bridal style as if she weighted no more then a feather and carried her back to bed.
AN: I hope everyone likes this chapter and I added that part about winning the turtle cause I actually played a game like that this summer while I was away on vacation and it was very hard to do, but I did finally win a turtle with a purple shell after a million tries. Just thought you would all enjoy hearing about it.
