Re: Alex and Alexis's Wedding....

Alexis: Just as much as you've figured out the kind of mommy I'll be.

Cruel Britannia Sun Jun 26, 2011 10:30 am

Alex: Well if our predictions are right.... we're gonna have one lucky kid.....

Pockets Sun Jun 26, 2011 5:30 pm

Alexis: If certain predictions are right, you mean kids. Twins....

Cruel Britannia Sun Jun 26, 2011 6:55 pm

Alex's eyes widen a little bit.

Alex: Prediction?.... there's been a prediction?

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:56 am

Alexis: It has been duly noted that there is a... tendency for twins in your family. And there is this... I dunno what to call it... tradition? During bridal showers... however many ribbons break when the bride-to-be is opening presents... that's how many children the couple will have. I had a really strange thing happen. I had a ribbon that broke twice at the same time..

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 27, 2011 11:53 am

Alex's eyes widen further.

Alex: Yeah I've heard of that superstition..... the same thing happened at my mum's bridal shower......

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 11:56 am

Alexis stares at Alex.

Alexis: It... did? I... ah... suppose at your aunt's as well....

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:00 pm

Alex: It never came up with Aunt Erin..... I'll have to ask next time I visit her.

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:03 pm

Alexis smirks.

Alexis: I guess I'll have to watch and see if it happens to Mandy too....

She glances up at Alex, more serious.

Alexis: Twins... How much do you believe in superstition?

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:08 pm

Alex: I..... uh...... a little...... I mean I'm nervous breaking mirrors and stuff..... but I don't dance around like a drunkard trying to avoid stepping on cracks...... how about you....... you buying it?

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:13 pm

Alexis: I'm not ruling out the possibility, but I'm not going to be like "oh wow, we're having twins" until the moment a doctor says there are two in there.

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:16 pm

Alex: I'm sure my mother will want to give you a once over for a second opinion too hahaha.

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:24 pm

Alexis chuckles.

Alexis: Here we are, talking about children again....

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:28 pm

Alex chuckles too.

Alex: Surely it must be a pretty normal topic of conversation at a wedding..... I mean.... surely we can't be the first newlyweds to discuss having kids at some point during their wedding..... OK twice may be a little excessive heh.

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:30 pm

Alexis: I guess we both really want kids... a lot better than it just being one of us that does.

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:43 pm

Alex laughs.

Alex Yeah..... that would have been... awkward. Well for the sake of absolute clarity. I would like nothing better than to have children with you...... eventually.

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:56 pm

Alexis: What if eventually happens sooner than expected?

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:09 pm

Alex: Well..... I'd be surprised.... and maybe a little nervous.... but I'd still be happy.....

.....are you afraid that I'd make a run for it or something?

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:14 pm

Alexis: After everything you've been telling me about mates I don't think you would be able to even if you wanted to. It just always came up as eventually... and, well, knowing how much... practice we get in....

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:22 pm

Alex chuckles.

Alex: Actually the whole point of the mates thing is more that I'd never want to.....

....I'm sure knowing our luck it'll happen when we least expect it..... and when it does..... I'll still be here.....holding back your hair through the morning sickness.... making you choclate anchovy soup or whatever the hell you're craving..... being yelled at because it's all me and penis' fault.

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:24 pm

Alexis chuckles.

Alexis: Sounds like you're expecting the worst.

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:32 pm

Alex shrugs.

Alex: If I expect the worst the reality will hopefully be an improvment..... Aunt Erin once told me her pregnancy was..... let me get the wording right..... "A 9 month menstrual cycle on acid"

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:39 pm

Alexis looks nervous.

Alexis: Yeah... eventually sounds good.

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:43 pm

Alex smirks and wraps his arms around Lexi reassuringly.

Alex: Eventually it is then.

Pockets Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:50 pm

Alexis grabs Alex's hand.

Alexis: Isn't all of Navy Pier open for us? Come on... it is getting a little stuffy in here, and it's a nice night.
