Skeptically, Gwen eyed a pile of Love Hearts. Arthur arrived home with their assignment from Dr. Steele. Arthur went to see her without Gwen weekly to deal with his mummy, daddy, and sibling issues. He wanted a clean slate before the babies arrived.
"No, before Henry Arsenal and unnamed female arrive. What's your name, Dolly? It's probably Dolly!"
Gwen was still annoyed about what was happening to her nursery. A muralist arrived today to paint something. She was banned form the room. The smell drove her crazy, and she didn't even venture near the wing. She wanted to clobber Arthur, hard.
Patting her belly, Gwen waddled over to a table in the kitchen. She fingered a petal of a lavender rose that arrived for Valentine 's Day earlier in the morning. Arthur had a sweet way of stealing away her heart. She couldn't believe that she would have her body back in two months or so.
"Guinevere," Arthur called. "Dinner is ready."
"Did you cook it," Gwen responded loudly.
"No, I don't wish to kill you and the babies."

Dinner was amazing… filet mignon with creamy mashed potatoes.. Gravy, creamy. A crisp salad with rolls with Crème Brule for dessert. Arthur purchased two monkeys for the baby. Gwen stared at them with dismay.
"Arthur don't encourage them. One of them is constantly moving and kicking… any guesses?"
Arthur beamed. "I'm assuming the girl. Henry only kicks occasionally. He's a bit lazy."
Arthur and Gwen were concern over Henry's lack of movement. However, a new scene reveal that he was fine and growing. He was just a clam little soul. Their daughter wriggled and moved her hands. It was quite the spectacle. Arthur rubbed his head as he sat stunned.
"No, Henry is a thinker, not impulsive."
Arthur frowned as he ponder Gwen's words. "He got that from you."
"Obviously."
Arthur blinked. "Anyway. Dr. Steele said we have to use these Love Hearts to relive our romance."
Gwen arched an eyebrow.
"Guinevere… just shake them, and select one. Then, tell the related memory. I'll start."
Arthur shook the box like he was playing Craps.
Closing his eyes, Arthur chose a pink heart.
"Marry me." Arthur sighed. 'My wonderful proposal that you ruined."
Gwen nudged Arthur with her foot. "I did not ruin it."
"Your flat set off the fire system. It was embarrassing."
Gwen folded her arms across her chest. "I had to explain to my neighbors… why they were in the dark in the middle of winter."
"But, you said yes."
"I said yes."
Gwen selected a heart from the box. "Love you… I knew when you helped a little boy find his parents in Harrods. You were so kind and patient. It … was so.." Gwen shook at the memory.
"Ha, it was my bare chest. Don't lie."
"That helps."
Arthur withdrew another heart. "Kiss me. In your father's house after I hide in Elyan's room for the weekend. You were so sweet. I was too old-"
"Two years."
"I stole a kiss."
"It was rather romantic."
Gwen reached for an orange heart. "My girl… when did I realize that I was your girl? Let's see you sent the minions over to help me when one of our teachers started to yell at me during Uni. I pretty much knew that you pissed all over me."
Arthur reached over and covered her mouth tenderly. 'Don't say that word… the babies will hear. I didn't send my minions."
"What do you call it?"
"I merely went for a walk."
"Okay, keep lying to yourself."
Arthur kissed Gwen's palm. "Then, you were mine in every way."
"You weren't a cat to spray me," Gwen giggled.
"You didn't stop me…"
"No, can I ever stop you?"
"No…"
