It really does mean so much to me and I can't tell you that enough. Just one more chapter and the epilogue left! Whew! It's been a long ride, and I'm so glad that you guys have stuck with me. :) With that said, don't be sad that this story is coming to an end, because I will be writing more! :D And I have a oneshot that I do want to get written and posted soon! Anywho, I have said too much already. Read and Review!

I want to own Inception...anyone have a PASIV I could borrow so I could perform inception on Christopher Nolan to give me Inception? No? I thought so...oh well...



Dom heard his name and looked around. He stood up, leaving James and Philippa playing with their toys at the small couch. He walked over to where the two men were whispering.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Dom asked curiously. He noticed Eames' frustrated expression and Yusuf's amused look that he was giving Eames.

"Eames here is a little jealous right now." Yusuf teased.

"Jealous of what?" Cobb asked, raising his eyebrow and turning to a grumbling Eames.

"Well he's just upset that you're going to be first pick for godfather." Yusuf explained when Eames didn't.

"What?" Dom quickly turned to look at the door to the bedroom where Arthur and Ariadne were resting in. "They didn't tell me anything."

"I don't think they know yet. Or at least Arthur doesn't. I have my suspicions that Ariadne knows though. She just isn't sure how to bring it up." Yusuf replied.

"Or maybe she's scared." Dom whispered. Eames and Yusuf nodded sadly, recalling what had happened last time.

"I think everything will be fine, and when they do tell us, we have to act surprised." Yusuf said.

"I for one will be waiting for them to spill the beans." Eames stretched his arms and brought his hands behind his head. Dom just shook his head, stealing another glance at the door.


When Arthur entered the room Ariadne was already asleep. He sighed and quickly undid his tie and took it off, he then proceeded to unbutton his vest, take it off, unbutton his shirt, take it off, and slip off his shoes before sliding into bed with her.

Ariadne stirred a little bit, opening her eyes when she felt the bed shift under her. Arthur smiled softly at her and pulled her to him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." He whispered into her hair.

"It's ok." She mumbled before closing her eyes again and snuggling into his chest. Arthur could sense when she fell asleep again, her breathing slowed and she relaxed more in his arms.

Arthur allowed his eyes to close, just to rest them, he reasoned and he soon fell asleep too.

There was a soft puff on Arthur's nose and he felt small hands trying to move his arms away gently. Arthur's eyes snapped open to find Ariadne staring into his eyes sheepishly.

"Sorry, I couldn't stay still for much longer and wanted to move around. I didn't want to try to wake you, but I forgot what a light sleeper you are." Ariadne quietly said.

Arthur yawned and smiled at her. He released her from his grip and sat up, watching her carefully. Ariadne got up and stretched, walking around the room slowly. She was glad to be moving around and stretching her stiff limbs.

"How are you feeling?" He asked suddenly. Ariadne turned to look at him, trying to keep a straight face. She opened her mouth to reply before Arthur cut her off.

"The truth Ari." Arthur sternly told her, raising his eyebrow. She slumped her shoulders and sat next to him on the bed.

"I'm alright." She answered simply.

"What's going on? You can talk to me Ari." Arthur scooted closer to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She laid her head on his shoulder and sighed.

"It's…complicated." Ariadne was avoiding the subject and Arthur could tell. He was getting frustrated, but he didn't want to let his frustrations show.

"Ari, please." He whispered, kissing her temple.

"I…Arthur, I think I'm pregnant." Ariadne told him, allowing her body to relax completely in his arms. Arthur held her, his body tense with shock.

"H-how long have you known?" Arthur asked, clearing his throat after stuttering and hearing it crack slightly.

"I don't know for sure Arthur, I just think I am. All the signs are there. I haven't been feeling great for a few days, but since the whole Brendan job I had been feeling pretty awful. I didn't want to say anything because I knew you'd make me sit it out." Ariadne told him.

Arthur frowned, she was right. He wouldn't have let her go in the dream with them, but that is in the past.

"Well I guess we better start planning for a baby then." Arthur smiled as he pulled away from her, looking into her eyes. He could see the fear and uncertainty in them, but she smiled, happy that he was taking the news well.

"I'm scared." She admitted after a few minutes of silence.

"I know, but everything will be alright." Arthur tried to assure her. Of course he couldn't promise anything, they both knew what had happened a few months ago.

"I think we should tell the others now. That way we can get it over with and make sure Brendan has our full attention at the funeral. I'd hate for the baby to overshadow him." Ariadne stood up. Arthur nodded.

"Although, I think they already suspect that you're pregnant Ari. Yusuf was acting strange when I was asking him questions, so I think he suspects. And you know how Eames is, he'll extract information within minutes if he really wants to know. So I'm sure they all already suspect something." Arthur chuckled, but quickly turned serious.

"As for Brendan, I'm sure he wouldn't mind sharing anything with the baby. Ari, I wish I could have known him before all of this. I'm sure he really was great." Arthur stood up and hugged Ariadne. She nodded and sniffled.

"Thank you Arthur." She mumbled.

"For what?" He asked, releasing her and lacing his fingers with hers.

"For being you. For knowing what to say." Ariadne smiled and squeezed his hand. "Let's go talk to the others, and when we get to Paris I want to set up an appointment right away, just to make sure."

Arthur nodded. "Alright, but I'm sure there's nothing to worry about."

Ariadne opened the door and Arthur trailed slightly behind her, their hands still connected.

"Well well, look who decided to finally join us." Eames loudly said and Yusuf and Dom turned around from where they were sitting to look at Arthur and Ariadne.

"Uncle Arthur!" James quickly ran to him and clung to Arthur's leg. Arthur stumbled back slightly, taken by surprise. Ariadne grinned and watched as James looked up at Arthur, a huge smile on his face.

"Uncle Arthur, are you going to play with us? We've been waiting for you forever!" James dramatically told him. Arthur laughed and nodded.

"Sure, just give your Aunt Ari and I a few minutes and we'll be right over there."

Philippa had made her way to Ariadne and watched James interact with Arthur.

"Aunt Ari, you're ok right?" Philippa asked worriedly. For an eight year old she really was perceptive.

"What makes you think I wasn't?" Ariadne asked. "Of course I'm fine Philippa."

"Because Uncle Arthur came out earlier and was asking Yusuf questions and he looked worried. I don't want to lose you like I lost my mommy." Philippa whispered, looking down and rubbing her feet together.

Ariadne frowned and bent down, letting go of Arthur's hand. "Philippa, look at me."

Philippa looked up at Ariadne, small tears streaming down her face. "I'm perfectly fine. I'm just not feeling too great because that's what happens when you're going to have a baby." Ariadne explained. Philippa grinned widely and shrieked.

"A baby! Uncle Arthur you're going to be a daddy?" Philippa turned to Arthur and jumped into his arms. James, not wanting to be left out, reaching up for Arthur to pick him up. Arthur gathered both James in Philippa in his arms and smiled.

"Yes. Aunt Ari here is having a baby." Arthur turned to look at Ariadne, a look of adoration taking over his features.

"It's about time you told us!" Eames sighed dramatically, but grinned, patting Arthur on the back.

"Yusuf had his suspicions, so we figured you'd tell us when you were ready." Dom came up to Ariadne and hugged her gently.

"So much for acting surprised guys!" Yusuf cried out, shaking his head. He approached Arthur and Ariadne, hugging Ariadne and patting Arthur on the back.

"Congratulations." The three of them said, after the excitement calmed down a bit.

"Thanks guys." Ariadne shyly replied. She turned to Arthur, who hadn't stopped smiling since they came out.

"Uncle Arthur?" James asked, holding onto Arthur's neck for support.

"Yes James?"

"Will I be able to play with the baby?"

Dom smiled. "James, the baby will be too little to play with when it's first born, but when the baby gets older you will be able to." Dom explained to his son.

"Oh."

"Aunt Ari, I can help you with the baby. I'm a big girl." Philippa piped up.

Ariadne chuckled. "Thank you very much Philippa, I'm sure you'll be a great help."

Dom noticed that Arthur looked like his arms were getting tired from holding James and Philippa so he spoke up.

"Hey kids, why don't you go pick out a game to play and we'll be right there."

"Ok!" James and Philippa jumped down from Arthur's arms and ran to find a game.

"Are you feeling up to it?" Dom asked Ariadne, concern evident in his voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine. As long as we're sitting down though." Ariadne replied, leaning on Arthur for support. Arthur wrapped his arm around her waist and supported her weight.

"Do your kids know how to play poker?" Eames asked seriously. The four of them turned to Eames, a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Are you serious?" Arthur asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice.

Eames looked at everyone, confused. He furrowed his brow. "It's an honest question. I don't see why all of you are freaking out about it."

"Eames, my kids do NOT know how to play poker, and I plan to keep it that way for a long time." Dom snapped.

"And don't you get any ideas about our kid." Ariadne threatened. Eames raised his hands in defeat.

"Alright, alright. Calm down, jeez!"

"Come on, they're waiting, and we still have at least another hour before our flight lands." Arthur motioned for them to follow him, his disgust for Eames still evident in his voice.

"Tough crowd." Eames muttered.

While everyone was walking to where James and Philippa were, Ariadne quickly pulled Dom aside.

"Dom, our offer still holds. We want you to be godfather." Ariadne quietly told him, not wanting Eames to hear.

"I would love to Ari. Thank you." Dom smiled, and patted her on the shoulder. She smiled back at him and joined Arthur, sitting on the couch.

"Alright, who's ready to play?" Arthur asked, looking at everyone before letting his gaze fall on Ariadne.

"Me!" James and Philippa exclaimed together, jumping in excitement. Arthur chuckled and looked at Dom, who winked at him. Arthur grinned and started setting up the game, ready for a distraction and some fun.

The team enjoyed playing a board game with the young children. Laughter was heard throughout the jet and it was nice to be able to relax a bit. Arthur and Ariadne stayed close to each other, and had Eames spoken up he would have said they were sickening. Not wanting to ruin the lovely moment everyone was having, he held his tongue.

In no time they had arrived in Paris, ready to take on the next couple of days.


So what'd you think? I figured hey, they deserve something happy. Especially with everything they have been through. A lot of you did guess that she was pregnant...good job guys! :) thanks for reading, and until next time...review! You know that button is calling out to you...haha...
