"In other words," Radamas said, "you were thinking about that"
"Of course the thought has crossed my mind," Aida admitted, "It's probably crossed the mind of every girl in the world"
"Come here," he said gently
"Where are we going," she asked him.
"You'll see in a minute," he said
He led her outside. It was moonlight. The stars were shining.
"Dance with me," he asked
"But this is no music"
"There doesn't have to be," he told her, "my heart beating is all the music we need"
She encircled his waist and he put his arms around her back. He kissed her. She returned the kiss.
"So," he said, "you think you're ready"
"I think I'm ready"
"So do I," he said smiling.
"Really," she asked excitedly
"I've been thinking that for awhile lately"
"So," she asked, "you want a boy right?"
"I actually would love a little girl… but if we have a girl I'm afraid that I'll…"
"You're afraid you'll what?"
"I'm afraid I'll lose you"
Aida sighed inwardly.
"Radamas, do you really think I'm going anywhere anymore if we have a girl then if we have a boy?"
"I feel the GODS are jealous of me"
"WHAT!"
"Aida you are perfect. I have the perfect love"
"Exactly," Aida pointed out, "and a perfect love is a love that will never die"
"Aida," Radamas said, "everyone dies"
"Every body dies. Souls however do not die"
"You can't dance with a soul"
"You can after you join them"
"How do you do that," Radamas asked in wonder, "how do you always know what to say"
"I don't," Aida said, "I just listen to my heart"
Radamas put his hand on top her "Besides," Aida added, "the doctor doesn't think anything will go wrong"
"I know but what if-"
"What if is a game with no winners," Aida told him firmly, "I'm going to get through this pregnancy"
"I know," Radamas said, "and look we're stopped at the new port. We'll be able to stock up on food now"
Radamas got out first and helped Aida out.
Shortly after they got to the food store.
