Roderick spoke.
"Well, it was like that for me until yesterday. I slept in shelters, moving around, helping wherever I could. Thank you for letting me stay here."

"Yes Ling, Thank you." Chloanne said. "Well I wouldn't want to separate the both of you anyways. It would be wrong." He said to the both of them. He continued eating.
-
Roderick, being huge, ate a lot more than any of them, but hey. There was plenty of food. Macha chuckled. "It is kind of funny..."
-
Ling eventually finished his plate, Chloanne shortly after. "This was nice." He said, smiling. "Yes it was Ling. Thank you once more and you too Macha." She smiled back.
-
"You're welcome." She clears the table, putting the plates away for washing.
-
Ling helped too while Chloanne went into the living room. After they got done clearing the table Ling hugged Macha from behind. "I love you." He said, kissing her on the cheek before heading back into the living room.
-
She kisses him back before he leaves. "Love you too!" She smiles, Roderick goes to help her clean the dishes. "He seems like a sweet person. You're lucky, Macha." He says, smiling. "Well, you seem sweet too. I'm glad Chloanne found someone, especially you." "Yes... goodness is she amazing. Beautiful, funny... I couldn't ask for more."
-
"Roderick is a nice person Chloanne. I'm glad you chose someone like him." Ling said. "Macha is too. I just hope you don't lose her Ling." She said to Ling. "Don't worry, I won't. She is the most special person in my life besides you...Chloanne." Chloanne was rather touched by this and hugged Ling. In which he hugged back.
-
After being done with the dishes, they walk out into the living room.
-
Chloanne stopped hugging Ling shortly after. "There's..not really much to talk about now." Said Ling.
-
"No, but there's things to do." Said Roderick. "If you guys really want me to stay here, then I'll go do some grocery shopping today. Chloanne, want to come along?"
-
"Sure." She said getting up. [spoiler]This is literally the most sane thing I have done in this thread.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]topkek.[/spoiler] Now that they were gone, Macha turned to look at Ling. "Hey... Ling..? I have something to tell you..." She took his hands, looking him in the eyes. "I did a test last night and... I'm pregnant." Her smile stretched up, showing a hint of her teeth.
-
Ling got up and hugged her. "This is great news!" He said excitedly. "You know...that was actually what was bothering me. But now I don't have to worry about that." Ling told her.
-
She smiled brightly, happy of how he took the news. "Oh, Ling..." Tears welled at her eyes, rolling down her cheeks. "You've made me so happy..." She just kept hugging him, sniffling. "I love you so... so much..."
-
"I love you too.." He said. Hugging her even more. Ling shed a tear, his life was once again, amazing. He then kissed her on the lips.
-
She kissed him back for a very long moment, as if they were both frozen in time. Her life couldn't get any better, she thought. Then she remembers. She was going to have children. And she knew it was only about to get better.
-
"This is amazing...but how will we break the news to them? I mean they'll figure it out eventually but still.." He said after their kiss and yet still hugging her.
-
"To Chloanne and Roderick? I'm sure the right time'll come to tell them..." She kept hugging him, holding on to him.
-
"I'm sure about that.." He said, still hugging and leaning his head on her shoulder. "When we can find the right time..I want to marry you, so we can be official." Ling told her.
-
"Marriage..?" The idea hadn't crossed her mind, but now that it did, she got excited. "Really?! I mean... I don't know how marriage rites work with humans but... yes! Absolutely!"
-
"We'll figure it out..." He said to her, smiling. "But for now we can wait on that and focus on the now." Ling hugged her a bit tighter. Not too much to cause pain but for one to be comfortable.
-
They stayed there, holding one another. And now, moving on to the market. Roderick was walking through the busy market, holding Chloanne's hand. A lot of different stands were up, selling all sorts of things.
-
"This place is more alive than I expected." She said, holding Roderick's hand.
-
"People always find means of going back to their lives. I'm glad to see it in action."
-
"Indeed." She said, looking at the stalls around them.
