Ariana sighed as she carried Duko back into the house. The Lumas surrounded her and she quickly brought up her hand, causing them to stop in their tracks. "Please no more stories today. My heart can"t take anymore." Ariana pleaded with a gentle smile. The Lumas looked at one another then her and noticed that Ariana"s eyes started to fill with a new wave of tears. With a sigh the Lumas agreed, Ariana felt relieved as she brought her hand back down. "Sleep together?" Vasu asked as he floated closer to Ariana. "Please." Ariana replied with a small head nod.
The Dabneys returned to find Ariana sleeping in their bed, Brie"s sleeping face was nestled in the crook of Ariana"s neck while the rest of her body was gently wrapped by Ariana"s arm. The Lumas created a protective wall with their bodies around the two in order to protect Brie from rolling over.
"I don"t think we can sleep here tonight." Mrs. Dabney chuckled as she looked at the scene. "We should have another one." Mr. Dabney whispered. Mrs. Dabney quickly looked at her husband in confusion.
His face was flushed and he was smiling so sweetly. "Pascal?" Mrs. Dabney whispered. "See this makes me think an only child is too lonely. Two little ones cuddling each other as they sleep... it"s too cute." Mr. Dabney sighed with a beaming face.
"What am I going to do with you?" Mrs. Dabney chuckled. "So yes?" Mr. Dabney asked hopefully. "It"s not a no." Mrs. Dabney replied. "But give me six months to recover." Mrs. Dabney continued. Her eyes were filled with fear and excitement.
Mr. Dabney scooped up his wife and kissed her forehead. "Deal." He said before he carried Mrs. Dabney off to the spare bedroom. While Ariana and Brie slept peacefully.
...
Ariana blushed as Mrs. Dabney fussed over the outfit they bought while they were on their date. "So cute!" Mrs. Dabney squealed as she jumped around to look at Ariana from different angles. "Pascal I can"t wait for Brie to get a little older! I will have so much dressing her up like this!" Mrs. Dabney squealed again. Ariana felt awkward as she stood there wearing a sweet lolita style dress but she couldn"t bare to say anything negative when she saw the hearts in Mrs. Dabney"s eyes.
Ariana was wearing a pale, turquoise coloured dress that faded into a soft, navy blue colour 2/3rd"s of the way down. The bottom of the dress had a 2 inch ruffle trim done in the same soft, navy blue colour and navy blue, whimsical swirl, patterns over top of the soft, navy blue portion.
While the top of the dress reached Ariana"s collar bone, a white lace trim decorated the edge of the pale, torquoise dress. It went completly across her collar bone and merged into her white, puffy sleeves that stopped right below her elbow. The sleeves were tied off with a soft, navy blue, ribbon and bow.
A sweet, pale, turquiose bow was tied and placed in the center of the fabric that spread across Ariana"s collar bone. A small star broach sat to the left of the bow while three chains swooped downwards and across an inch beside the star and clipped just under the lace.
A pale, turquoise belt with white, lace trim was fastened around Ariana"s waist. Tulle fabric, matching the same pale, turquoise colour faded into a matching soft, navy blue 2/3rd"s of the way down. It ruffled from the belt and fanned outwards, looking like an upside down V, making the dress look asymmetrical. Mrs. Dabney also bought Ariana a white lace choker with a pale turquoise rose in the center and a matching rose hair clip.
Ariana really didn"t think the outfit suited her but the Dabneys looked so pleased she just grinned and bared it. What made matters worse was that Brie was wearing a matching headband. "When we give Brie a baby sister we can buy them matching outfits all the time!" Mrs. Daney shouted happily. Mr. Dabney beamed but Ariana paled.
"Of course you will be her G.o.dmother too and-? Sweety? Honey? Hey Ariana are you alright?" Mrs. Dabney asked with a concerned look. Her smiling face instantly disappeared.
Ariana nodded her head. She didn"t mean for her thoughts to go back to Earth but her heart ached. She was too vaulnerable at the moment and needed to leave. "Ya sorry, I was just thinking I should start my observations early so then I can make up with Edlyn faster." Ariana answered with a smile but the smile didn"t reach her eyes.
Mrs. Dabney didn"t believe Ariana"s words but she didn"t ask her anything else. Instead she gave Ariana a big hug just as Mr. Dabney handed her a bag with her uniform in it.
"Remember this is your home too." Mr. Dabney said. Ariana nodded her head then shrouded her face in darkness. "I know... Thanks." Ariana said softly. Mrs. Dabney let Ariana go and tried to look at her face but Ariana took the chance to rush out the house. "She"s hiding a lot of hurt Pascal." Mrs. Dabney said as she watched Ariana run away with her Lumas. "We can"t do anything but wait." Mr. Dabney said as her wrapped an arm around his wife"s shoulders.
Ariana ran at full force, completely disregarding her surroundings. She ran faster and faster, her breathing was starting to get uneven as her heart thundered against her chest. "Ariana slow down!" Duko yelled as he ran along side her. Ariana didn"t listen and ran right into another person. The force was so strong that she caused the other person to fall backwards as she landed on top.
Ariana"s heart practically stopped from embara.s.smenet. "I"m so sorry! I wasn"t looking where I was going!" She shouted without looking up. "Can you get off please?" A bored, male voice asked. Ariana looked up and was completely surprised. "Xander?" Ariana called out. "Yes?" He asked as he stared up at the blue sky. "I am really sorry!" Ariana shouted in horror as she scrambled to get off of Xander"s chest.
