Nope...Inception isn't mine.


Arthur panicked as he watched Ariadne lose her balance and stumble, before she could hit the ground he caught her, but he immediately shouted for Dom and Eames.

"Dom! Dom hurry!" Arthur shouted from the ground, cradling Ariadne's body. Dom and Eames ran out, Yusuf following with the children close behind.

"What happened?" Dom quickly asked, glancing back at the kids, hoping they wouldn't freak out.

"I don't know, we walked out and she just collapsed." Arthur explained, his voice getting higher.

Dom eyed Ariade and turned to Eames. "Get the van, we need to get to a hospital."

Eames nodded and hurried off the pull the van up. Yusuf knelt down beside Arthur and Ariadne, examining her quickly before standing back up and straightening up.

"She's still breathing and there aren't any signs of poisoning, so she should be fine, but just to be safe we better get to the hospital quickly."

Arthur was stroking Ariadne's hair gently and cradling her. He was pushing back the sob in his throat, wanting to stay strong. There couldn't be anything wrong with her, there just couldn't. If something were to happen to her, he didn't know what he'd do. They'd just gotten married. It was the beginning of their life together. She had to be ok. Just as Arthur was getting lost in his thoughts, Eames pulled up and Dom ushered the kids in first before helping get Ariadne in. Yusuf got in last, closing the door behind them as Eames sped off.

They arrived at the hospital within minutes, if Arthur hadn't been so worried, he'd be impressed. However now was not the time to be thinking about Eames driving. His gaze kept falling back on Ariadne; he kissed her softly and held her hand.

"You'll be fine." Arthur whispered more to himself than her.

He gently picked her up and carried her into the hospital hurrying in after Dom who had James and Philippa with him.

It took a few minutes before they got Ariadne into a room, but when they didn't allow Arthur in right away. As he was waiting for any news on her, he paced back and forth in front of Eames and Dom.

James and Philippa kept asking questions about Ariadne. "Daddy, what's wrong with Auntie Ari? Is she going to be ok?" Philippa asked first.

"Yeah, she's not sick is she?" James asked after Philippa. Dom looked at Arthur who tensed and turned to watch them.

Dom sighed and answered them. "Auntie Ari is getting checked by the doctors now. We'll find out what's wrong with her, but she'll be fine."

James and Philippa nodded and laid their heads on Dom's shoulders and fell asleep within minutes.

Dom turned to Arthur, careful not to wake the kids. "I'm sorry Arthur."

"Don't, it's fine. They're children, children ask questions." Arthur sat down across from Dom and rubbed his face, holding his head in his hands. Eames stood up and placed a hand on Arthur's shoulder.

"She'll be fine. She's a fighter." Eames encouraged him before walking off to find some food.

"I knew something was wrong, but she kept brushing it off, I should have questioned her more, paid more attention." Arthur mumbled.

"Hey, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault; it's not her fault. These things happen." Dom cut Arthur off before he could guilt himself into feeling responsible.

"Mr. Giordano, you may come see your wife now." A nurse walked out of the room and told him. Arthur stood up immediately and followed her in. he walked in to find Ariadne wide-awake. She smiled when Arthur walked in. Arthur stood there, afraid to walk in.

"You can come in you know." Ariadne smiled. Arthur sighed and rushed to her side, taking her hand in his.

"You had me so worried Ari, don't ever do that again." Arthur told her, nuzzling into her. She ran a hand through his hair and kissed the top of his head.

"I'm sorry." Ariadne whispered. Arthur looked up and kissed her.

"What's going on? And don't lie to me and tell me you're fine, obviously you're not." Arthur sternly looked at her. Ariadne looked down and twisted the sheet in her hands.

"I am fine." Ariadne answered.

"Ari, tell me the truth." Arthur warned.

She sighed. "Just don't freak out ok?"

"Freak out? Why? What's wrong?" Arthur was getting agitated. He sat up straight and looked her in the eye, searching for any type of fear or worry.

"Nothing's wrong." Ariadne answered, still avoiding answering him.

"Ari, just tell me." Arthur was growing impatient, he felt bad for getting angry with her, but he wouldn't stop worrying until he knew what was going on.

"I'm pregnant." She said so quietly he almost didn't hear her.

"Wait, what?" Arthur asked, shocked. He stood up and looked at her.

"I'm pregnant." She replied, loud enough for him to hear clearly.

"You're pregnant." Arthur stated to himself.

"Arthur please don't freak out." Ariadne sat up and looked at him pleadingly, her heart rate increasing.

Arthur paced and turned to her. "I need a minute. I'll be back, I promise."

"Arthur don't go." Ariadne pleaded. Arthur kissed her and walked out of the room. He closed the door softly and sunk down it, inhaling deeply. Dom watched Arthur and moved the kids so he could get up and see what was going on.

"What happened? Is she ok?" Dom asked, suddenly worried. Arthur nodded.

"She's fine." Was his muffled response.

"Well what's going on?" Dom asked, glancing at the door and thinking about going in himself.

"She's pregnant."

"Whoa, didn't see that one coming." Dom murmured. "What are you going to do?"

"I'm thinking about it." Arthur responded.

"And you just left her in there after she told you. Arthur what's wrong with you. Go in there and talk to her!" Dom angrily pulled him up and twisted the handle, pushing Arthur in.

As Arthur stumbled in he noticed Ariadne sobbing. Guilt suddenly washed over him and he walked over to her bed.

She felt the bed shift under Arthur as he sat on the bed. She refused to look at him, instead she watched as her tears left drops on the sheets.

"Ari. Ari, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have walked out like that. It was just so much to take in." Arthur apologized. Ariadne sniffed and finally turned her gaze to him.

"And you think I planned this Arthur?" Ariadne asked, her lips quivering. Arthur shook his head and opened his mouth to say something, but Ariadne cut him off.

"You think I wanted this to happen now? We're in so much danger right now, bringing a baby into the world is too complicated and dangerous. And going through a pregnancy while we're being followed and possibly have a death sentence on our heads was not my idea of an ideal pregnancy. No, Arthur I'm just as overwhelmed as you are." Ariadne was crying now. Arthur wrapped his arms around her and held her.

"There's always another option." Arthur suggested hesitantly.

"No." Ariadne quickly replied. She shook her head violently. "Despite the fact that we're in danger, I will not do that! This is my baby, your baby…our baby." She whispered.

Arthur nodded. "Ok, well we need to figure some things out. Settle the score with whoever is after us."

There was a knock on the door and Ariadne wiped her eyes as Arthur called for them to come in.

Dom entered and smiled softly at Ariadne. "I guess a congratulations is in order."

Ariadne's lips twitched in a small smile. "Thanks." She looked down and then at Arthur. Dom walked to Arthur and pulled him into a hug, moving to Ariadne and also giving her a hug.

"We'll get through this. It's time we settle the score with Cobol." Dom told them.

"Are you sure it's Cobol?" Arthur asked.

Dom nodded, "Eames went back to the house and found a card with Cobol on it. It was a warning for us."

"We need to leave. They know where we are now. We also have to change our appearances. Which means we need to go talk with Saito to see what he can do." Arthur told both of them.

"Change our appearances? How much?" Ariadne questioned nervously. She was never one for big change.

"Haircuts mostly. You may need to wear more make up, perhaps change your clothing." Dom answered for Arthur.

"Sorry." Arthur frowned.

"I guess I'll have to just deal." Ariadne crossed her arms and looked away.

"We all need to go buy some really nice clothes. If we're going to be seen publicly with Saito we need to look rich." Dom informed them. "We'll go shopping together it's safer that way. And once we get there we can leave James and Philippa under Saito's care. It will be safer for them."

"Once they release you from here we'll go." Arthur turned to Ariadne. She nodded and thought about how much she'd have to change her look. Sighing she figured she'd try to keep her hair as much the same as she could. In all honesty Cobol wouldn't know what she looks like, she was the safest of all of them.

"I'll call Eames and let him know the plan. I'll have him pack our bags and come pick us up, we'll fly out to Tokyo soon." Dom pulled out his phone and walked out of the room, dialing Eames' cell number.

The nurse came in and informed Ariadne of all she would need to know about pregnancy, she prescribed some prenatal vitamins and told her to take it as easy as she could.

Ariadne smiled and thanked the nurse. Arthur helped her change back into her clothes and walked slowly with her, making sure she was taking it easy.

"We need to get your vitamins before we leave." Arthur finally said after staring at her for five minutes.

"Yeah." Ariadne simply replied.

"Hey, everything will be fine. I'll keep you two safe." Arthur turned her to look at him, she nodded and let a few tears fall. Arthur pulled her to him and hugged her, rubbing her back gently and letting her cry into his suit.

A few minutes later Eames pulled up, Dom and the kids were in the middle row, Yusuf in the passenger seat, and Arthur helped Ariadne into the front row.

"Well, well, our Point Man managed to reproduce. Isn't that a shocker?" Eames joked trying to lighten the mood.

"Shut up Eames." Arthur growled and Ariadne rolled her eyes.

"Eames just go. We need to get to the airport as soon as possible." Dom snapped, wanting to get his children to safety so they could find out what was going on and who was after them. He wanted to end this all.

Eames snickered and sped off. Little did they know that a suspicious brown-haired man was following them.

"Brendan, why are you following them?" Another man with Brendan asked.

"They didn't come through with the plans, and they have someone I want." Brendan sneered. "Now shut up and follow them. We can't lose them."

The other man nodded nervously and continued following them, pulling into the airport parking lot.

"I'm going to find out where they're going and I'll come find you. Then we'll follow them there. Soon enough they'll pay for not coming through, and for kidnapping the one person in my life who was important to me." Brendan scowled and walked off, leaving the man in the car alone.

Ariadne delicately walked out of the van, feeling tired, weak, and hungry. Arthur noticed this and told Dom he was going to take Ariadne to get some food. Dom nodded.

"Be sure to meet us at our gate. Be on time." Dom ordered and Arthur turned to him and raised his eyebrow. Dom chuckled. "Right, right, you're always early. Now go, get your lovely wife some food."

Arthur grinned and wrapped his arm around her waist protectively. Ariadne leaned into him for support, stifling a yawn.

"Things will be ok." Arthur finally said. Ariadne looked at him and sighed.

"You've told me that the whole way here Arthur."

"I know, it's just nice to hear it said out loud." Arthur shrugged. Ariadne nodded.

"You know, I think we'll do ok." Ariadne looked up defiantly and placed her hand on her stomach.

Arthur watched the movement and avoided her look. Nervously he placed his hand over hers.

"You know, soon I won't be so thin." She told him. Arthur shook his head.

"That doesn't matter to me."

"You're not going to tell me that I won't be fat, but pregnant?" Ariadne asked playfully.

"Do you want me to say that?" Arthur raised his eyebrows in question and Ariadne laughed.

"No, I'm just teasing you." Her stomach growled and she looked at the food stands longingly.

"Let's get you two some food." Arthur smirked.

"You two? I like that." Ariadne giddily replied and followed him to the nearest food stand.

Brendan watched Arthur and Ariadne, a scowl on his face. He shook his head and followed them as discreetly as possible, but it didn't go unnoticed by Arthur. He tightened his grip on Ariadne and led her to their gate, waiting for Dom, Eames, Yusuf, and the kids.

"Arthur, I see you're early." Eames grinned.

"As always." Arthur smirked. Ariadne giggled and happily ate down her food.

"Hey, so everyone's here." Dom said, looking over everyone. Yusuf was standing behind Eames, his eyes darting nervously around.

Arthur stood up and walked to Dom, whispering in his ear. "We're being followed."

Dom stiffened and looked around. "Who?"

"A man in khaki's, a gray button up shirt, and with wavy brown hair." Arthur described to Dom. Dom looked around subtly and spotted him.

"I see him." Dom sighed. "Stick close we should be fine."

Arthur nodded and moved back next to Ariadne. Ariadne smiled and offered him a bite of her sandwich. He grinned and took a big bite.

"Hey not that big!" Ariadne protested and pulled the sandwich away from him.

Arthur chuckled as James and Philippa ran over to them. "Uncle Artie can I sit on your lap?" James asked, pouting his lip and giving him puppy eyes. Arthur looked at Ariadne helplessly and nodded.

"You're such a sap. You're going to give in so easily to this little one." Ariadne whispered, motioning to her stomach.

"Yeah, yeah." Arthur rolled his eyes playfully and smiled. It was true, he was going to be such a sap.

Philippa looked jealously at James. "I want to sit on your lap too!" Arthur chuckled and helped her up.

"Hey, you guys are hogging him from me." Ariadne joked.

"Well he's our Uncle Artie!" James defended. Ariadne laughed.

"Well he's my Arthur." Ariadne shot back.

"Fine we can share." James gave in. Ariadne giggled and leaned her head on Arthur shoulder, watching as he played with James and Philippa. She smiled, knowing that he would do just fine at being a dad.

Dom was watching the man carefully and noticed that another man joined him and gave him a ticket.

"This isn't good." He thought out loud. Eames turned to look at him and Dom motioned his head towards the two men.

"We're being followed." Dom informed him. Eames frowned and looked at Arthur and Ariadne.

"I'll keep an eye on the lovebirds."

Dom nodded and watched his kids. "Yusuf can take care of himself and you can watch your kids." Eames said, following his gaze.

"Thanks." Dom answered as their flight was called. The boarded the plane and silently sat there. Only Ariadne and the kids falling asleep.

"He's on our flight." Dom leaned forward and whispered to Arthur. Arthur nodded.

"I saw him heading to first class." Arthur replied and looked at Eames who was staring intently down the aisle.

"What?" Dom noticed Eames frown.

"He just came out of first class to head to the bathroom. Don't they have their own bathroom?" Eames asked suspiciously.

"He's checking up on us. Keep an eye out ok?" Arthur said, turning to Ariadne and putting an arm around her, keeping her close.

"We'll try to lose them in Tokyo." Dom replied and leaned back, his gaze falling on his sleeping children.

He closed his eyes, trusting that Eames was staying on the lookout. When he opened his eyes again, they were getting ready to land.

As they were landing her looked at Arthur who had an anxious look on his face. Arthur knew that this was the calm before the storm. Things were about to get worse, much, much worse.

So what'd you think? Most of you knew what was wrong with Ariadne...kudos to you! But will everything be alright? That is the question...leave reviews please and I'll try to get the next chapter up really soon!
