"Hey, honey". Heffer said, coming over as he put on his clothes. "Is everything alright, sweetheart?". "It's fine". Lilian said, quietly. "I just, I don't know, It's kind of weighing on me a bit". "It comes every now, and again". She sighed, sniffling. There was a wet spot at the corner of her eyes. "Hon, I know it's been difficult". Heffer said, gently. "But remember what an amazing, kind, intelligent, loving person you are". "You've always taken care of your family, me, us, I love the way you spoil me, and do so much for everyone". "You have given me everything, babe". He kissed Lilian's lips. "Thank you". Lilian said, sniffling. "I'm trying my best". /span/p

Heffer said, gently. "Perhaps we could go to San Alas this weekend". "We'll take a weekend, just you and I". Heffer kissed Lilian's lips. He lingered for a long amount of time, curling his tongue around Lilian's. "I'm sure that would work". Lilian said. "We definitely could". Heffer said, gently, in the midst of his kiss. He kissed Lilian, curling his tongue around hers, touching his lips against hers. /span/p

There was a resurgence of pain coming over her, as she thought about her family. It was the pain that seeped over her. She felt it was her fault she couldn't save them. "Shh, it's alright". Heffer said, gently. "Things will work themselves out". "In the meantime, would you like to take the rest of the afternoon, to ourselves?". He smiled a gentle smile. "Sure". Lilian said, as Heffer pulled her close. He began kissing her. They kissed, touching their lips against one another, coming in close to one another, as they drew in nearer, and nearer. They still kissed, pressing their lips against one another. They continued kissing, as Lilian's phone began to ring. "Sorry, honey". She said, getting up. She went over to her phone, talking. /span/p

She still talked on the phone, saying "yes", and "uh, huh". "Uh huh". She talked on the phone, saying, agreeing with everything that was said. It was an easy process, although as she talked, she felt a sort of grief that came about. Tears came to her eyes, as a shock came over her, while she heard some explaining being done. She was at a loss for words, as she heard some things. Eventually, she hung up the phone, coming back to the bedroom, staying silent. Tears welled up in her eyes, as a sob came over her. "Honey, are you ok?". Heffer asked, gently. /span/p

Lilian said. "Both of my parents passed away". "They're the only people I have left". She sat, as tears dropped down her cheeks. Heffer held her close. "I know, honey". He said, gently. "Things will get better, I can guarantee you". "Why don't we go to the funeral, we'll pay our respects, then I'll take you to San Alas, we'll have a weekend all to ourselves". He stroked her head. "I'll give you more gifts than you can handle". He said, gently. He winked seductively. "Now's not a good time". Lilian said. Heffer still held her close, kissing her cheek. Heffer held her hands, as Lilian began to cry. "Never worry". Heffer said, gently. "We'll receive our gifts, through one way, or another". "I love you, more than anyone". Heffer kissed Lilian's cheek, holding her close, rubbing her shoulder. It was lovely. In all of its aspects. Lilian smiled a smile of hope. She knew she still had someone. She still had someone she could rely on in any situation. She still had her Heffer. /span/p

She had on her silk robe, noticing the pains in her stomach, in her head get more and more prominent. She also noticed she had missed her "Time of the month". She looked down at the pregnancy test she had just taken. On it, there was a big green plus sign that blinked "positive". "Oh, that's lovely". She thought, happily. She was going to be having yet another child. Paula smiled a gentle smile. She put the pregnancy test down, going outside to where her husband, Filburt was. Filburt sat at the edge of the bed, as his head throbbed in pain. He sat, looking around. Paula came over, putting a hand on Filburt's shoulder. "Honey". She said, gently. "Oh, I'm sorry". Filburt said. "I just feel nauseous". "No, you're ok, honey". Paula said, gently. "Sometimes after doing certain things, certain feelings can be felt, but, you're getting through it". Paula kissed Filburt's cheek. "I have some amazing news". Paula said, happily. "What is that?". Filburt asked. "I'm pregnant". Paula whispered, gently. "We're having another baby". She smiled, looking to kiss Filburt on the lips. "Oh, that's wonderful!". Filburt said, gently, excitedly. "I'm thrilled". "Mm, so am I". Paula said, sitting on the side of the bed. She kissed Filburt on the lips. She kept kissing him in excitement. This was going to be a good future. This was going to be a good layout. Things were going to look up. Now, more than ever, it was going to be fine. /span/p
