"Alison, sweetie," said Rafe very quietly into Alison's ear as he leaned over her sleeping in the bed.
"Mmmm, just a few more minutes Rafe."
"Ok, but if you sleep any longer you will have literally slept thirteen hours straight," he said with a laugh.
"What?" she said waking up and looking at him. "What time is it?"
"Twelve thirty," he smiled as he saw her reaction.

Lucy got on the elevator and hit the 6th floor button, she was late for her lunch date with Kevin, and was trying to think of something to start the conversation on a soft and sweet note when she heard someone yell to hold the door, "Hurry up!" she yelled back as she hit the open button and on stepped Elizabeth.
"Lucy—you're alive," said a shocked Elizabeth.
"Yes Elizabeth—both Rafe and I survived the accident. Are you meeting Chris for lunch?"
"Yes, but he doesn't know it yet. I'm glad we caught each other, I need to talk to you about my clothing line."
"Elizabeth can this please wait a few days? Things are really hectic right now, and when they slow down I promise I will help you with the line."
Elizabeth gave out a loud sigh, "Why does everyone constantly push me around like I'm nothing? I'm sick and tired of this," she said hitting the emergency stop button.
-----------
"Olivia!" spoke Caleb in a loud and disapproving tone.
"What?" she said coming back into the living room after just walking out.
"Will you please stop doing that—it's very distracting."
Livvie laughed, "Caleb, I'm not doing anything—just quietly moving around and cleaning. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Yes—no—yes, there is a problem with it when you are also thinking as loud as a locomotive engine."
"Well, I can't help it."
"Fine, sit and tell me what it is you are thinking about—though I shouldn't even ask."
Livvie came next to him on the couch and grabbed his hand, "I was thinking about us finally having a baby."
---------
"You can't be serious. Why did you let me sleep so late?"
"Because you were cute, and I was sure you've been worried about me the past few days with everything—but then I started getting worried so I figured I'd risk your wrath for waking you up."
Alison gave a big stretch and smile at him, "My back is sore from laying down too long now," she said as she got out of the bed and then noticed something, "Rafe, why did I go to sleep in my regular clothes last night?"
"Because you wouldn't wait for me to get your pajamas," he said as he watched her stand up and then look oddly at him. "Is something wrong?"
"I think Eddie moved while I was asleep."
"Alison, when you were in the hospital, did you have an ultrasound done—you know just to make sure you weren't putting extra stress on the babies."
"No, I didn't have an ultrasound done—do you think I should?"
"Go get dressed, we're going back to the hospital," he said as she began to open her mouth. "Just as a precaution, ok?"
"Ok."
--------
"What are you doing?" asked Lucy.
"I've been trying to work with this clothing line for a few weeks, and nobody will give me the time of day—well, I have you here now, and you aren't leaving until I tell you my plans."
"Fine—talk," she sighed.
"Well, I was thinking we--."
"We?"
"You are going to help me right?"
"I was only going to offer tips and suggestions at getting started, but go on," she sighed again.
"Is something wrong with you today?"
"YES! I've screwed up with Kevin last night, and I'm trying to get to his office to meet him and try and make things right."
"Then why didn't you say so?" she said pulling the button so the elevator began to move again.
-----------
"A baby? What in the world would you want a baby for?" mocked Caleb.
"You know perfectly well why I want a baby—I want us to have a family, one that will carry on your name and legacy. I want to be able to watch a child grow before me, knowing that it is a product of you and I."
Caleb sighed, he had known this was coming—had been waiting for her to bring it up after they got rid of Myra. He had promised her he would delve into the possibility of using the spring so they could become mortal and reproduce when everything was done, and now he had to keep his word, "I—Olivia—I know you want a child, and I want it to be with me," he said as he ran his hands over her hair, "But it means giving up our lifestyle for a bit."
"But we can become vampires again—can't we? I mean there must be some vampire in and around Daia that would turn you back. We could ask Delia if she would be willing enough."
"You really want this, don't you?"
--------------
"I can't believe I let you talk me into doing this," sighed Alison as she laid on the table waiting for Dr. Meadows to come in.
"I just want to make sure you and the babies are fine," he said holding her hand and giving her a kiss.
"Yes, and you wouldn't be you if you weren't constantly worried about me," she smiled at him and the doctor come in.
"Hi Alison, Rafe—how are we doing today?" she said sitting down and opening up her chart.
"We're fine—Rafe is being silly because I said I felt Eddie had dropped some while I was sleeping last night."
"Well, let's take a look," she said pulling the cart the machine was on over to where they were.
"Eek," said Alison as she felt the coldness of the jelly and then took a breath as the ultrasound image began. "Look," she smiled at Rafe who was holding her hand tighter.
"This amazes me every time he said looking at their two little ones. Is everything ok?"
"Everything looks wonderful. And considering you are having twins and are at your 35th week, I would say that the babies could be born any time within the next two weeks," said Dr Meadows as she finished the ultrasound and got some paper towels to wipe off the jelly.
"Two weeks?" gulped Rafe.
Alison laughed, "Poor Rafe—he's not quiet ready that soon to be a father."
"It is shock to move up a due date, but with twins it is expected. Alison—I want you to try and rest more though—no lifting large objects or running any."
"I guess moving into the house is out then, hmmm?"
"Moving is definitely out of the question."
---------
"So you'll come by and talk to me later?" yelled Elizabeth as Lucy raced off the elevator.
"Sure, whatever Elizabeth," Lucy called back.
"She can be so rude at times," said Elizabeth under her breath before walking off to see what Chris was up to.
Lucy got to Kevin's office and saw the note on the door and opened it up to read, "Lucy, I'm so sorry, but I'm going to have to miss lunch due to an emergency consultation at Ferncliff. I'll come by your place tonight to talk. Love, Kevin." Lucy gave out a big sigh, "At least he signed it with the word love," she said turning around to see Ian staring at her.
-----------
"More than anything Caleb. I love how my senses are altered when I'm a vampire—how touch feels like an electric current, how when I taste and smell things now it's like I'm experiencing it for the first time, but I would love to be able to hold a child for the first time and look down at her and try and determine whose features she has and watch her personality change over time—who she acts like more, me or you."
"You keep saying she and her as if it's going to be a girl."
"It could be a boy also, I wouldn't mind that either. If it were possible I would have a hundred children with you Caleb. But I need to know now if you would be willing to give up the vampire lifestyle again so we could experience it together. What do you say Caleb, will you give it up so our family and the Morley legacy can grow?"
"I will," he said pulling her into a passionate kiss.
