"So?" Alaric would ask every morning as they have breakfast, and each time Aleksis would answer by shaking her head. It would always be followed by her husband's disappointed sigh. "Why don't you want to check it?"
"Jeez, you ... it's only been two weeks," Aleksis said after the third day.
Alaric scowled and she could no longer bear to look at his expression, so she burst out laughing.
"It's been almost 3 weeks, huh," Alaric said in a protesting tone. "We met again on October 2, on your birthday, and that night we made love until morning, don't you remember? You got pregnant with Altair and Vega on the first try."
Aleksis pressed her lips together while laughing, "How did you know that it was from the first try? For almost a week, we did 'that' every day ..."
"I just know ..." The man replied, stubbornly.
