"You people?" Razor said softly, steel in his voice. "....I see. Well then, maybe your people should look at how you all treat my people... and see if there cant be room for improvement." And with that, the other stormed out.

Clarence knew what Razor was saying was true. More than half the police force was corrupt and there was nothing he could do about it. Money was more important than the vow they made to protect. It was a sad time in the world, but Carter just sighed and went to the task of fixing the door.

<<new day>>
Ariannette was breathing a bit hard when she finally made it to the apartment, rubbing her stomach a bit. "Taking all my energy..." She said good naturedly as she pushed open the door. It was a bit...rickety. "...Clare...what happened to my door?" She looked over at him susiciously, her dark blue eyes glimmering. "Oh forget it. Later, later, me amour." She sighed.
"Thought I'd never see you or this place again."

"Well, we're still here, and we don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. " He had tried to fix the door best he could, hoping she wouldn't notice, but that failed miserably.
He had his arm around her waist, to help her walk.
"Now go on, get in bed, and I will attempt to cook you a meal without burning the place down, ok?"

Aria shook her head. "Honestly, I'm not a fragile flower or something!" She protested, but didn't fight. She knew that she was tired.
"Okay...but burning things make me queasy...don't want that." When they got to the bed she turned, kissing him. "I love you Clarence...thank you." She took his hand and put it on her belly. "He or she does too."

"I know, and I love you." He replied, kissing her back. He rubbed his hand over her belly, still not believing that this was actually his family. Clarence bent down and gently kissed her stomach. "And I love you too, little one." It felt good to have a family.
Clarence started into the kitchen to cook the only thing he could without burning it, pork and beans.

Aria smiled softly, running a hand through his hair as he kissed her stomach. This was how a family was supposed to be. She couldn't imagine why she had been so afraid.
"Wake me up when its ready, m'chere.." She layed down and was soon asleep.

He had waited an hour before he had actually started to cook, and that alone took a while. She had been moving almost constantly in her sleep, and Clarence wanted to make sure she was somewhat rested. He poured some food into a small bowl, grabbed a piece of bread, and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Time to wake up." he said softly, kissing her on the lips.

Aria woke up with a jolt, her eyes a bit paniced...but softened immiately when she saw Clare. "Hey love..." She kissed him back and smiled large when she smelled the food. "God I'm famished!" She sat up and took the bowl, trying to eat without looking like she was some sort of beast. She still had manners--she was french. "It's good, Clare.." Simple, but good. She couldn't ask for more.

"Really, it's good!? ...Are you lying to me?" He was only joking of course. He crawled over her legs to sit on the other side of her. Not saying anything, just watching. He was feeling a bit nervous, not knowing when would be the right time to ask his "question."

Ariannette nodded. "Not..french cusiene, of course..but its good." She finished, looking over at him with an eyebrow raised. "Darling...what's wrong?" She bit her lip, running a hand through her golden hair. She could sense something was a bit off, and wanted to deal with it now, instead of later.

"Oh nothing, it's just...nothing." Clarenece replied, trying to smile.
"It may not be French, but it's tons better than Norweigian."
Clarence took the bowl from her, placing it on the table next to them. The he took her hand, rubbing over the back of it with his thumb.
"Well, your pregnant, and...and to some it would look odd if you...weren't..." That's not what he meant. Now he would sound like he was only doing this because of the pregnancy. He took a deep breath.
"Well, what I'm trying to ask, is if you'll marry me?" The words came flying out of his mouth.

Ariannette gasped softly, smiling as bright as she probably ever had. "Of course!" She said quickly, then covered her mouth. "Oh my." She certainly was being a bit excited about it all. "And its...because you want this...not just because of the baby, right?" It was her greatest fear. Her hands were on his face, thumbing his cheek gently.

"Of course I want this, the baby's just an added bonus." he grinned and kissed her. He knew he was forgeting something...the ring! He had set it down somewhere, but he wasn't sure exactly, where it was.
"Umm...about the ring...I think I misplaced it." He hoped he hadn't lost it.

Aria laughed. "...leave it to you..." She smiled and hugged him. She had been wrong. Things were going to be fine, and he did love her for all the right reasons. "...I'll have your head if you lost it," she said while kissing him again.
"..wait...you had planned this?" She was surprised a bit.
