"Ready or not, here...I...COME!" Rahim exclaimed as he rounded her hiding place. Much to his surprise, she wasn't there. She couldn't have gotten that far away though.

Alidia smirked and giggled. "So close yet so far..." she began vocalizing by a cave but she was still behind him.

Rahim heard the sound. But he didn't rush right in, just in case she was planning something. He approached the area cautiously.

Alidia giggled. "Come on Rahim honey...you've almost found me." Alidia made her laugh echo the caves walls and she had a snowball waiting for him.

"I know you're here, sssweetheart. You can't fool me for long." Rahim called to her. His feet made a crunching noise as he walking in the snow.

"It kinda looks like I am winning..." Alidia smiled as she threw her snowball. And she ran to the frozen lake as she was slipping and sliding. "Woah.." she said.

Rahim came to stand over her after she fell. Sometimes, it did pay to be cautious about something. He held a hand out to Alidia to help her up.
"Are you okay?" he asked her.

Alidia smiled as she made herself visible. She grabbed Rahim's hand. "Yea, I am okay. Wanna go skating? Since we are on the lake."

"Why not? We are already here. It could be fun." Rahim replied, helping her steady herself.

Alidia smiled as she made music play.

She changed their outfits.


"Oh Rahim, this is truly, my favorite time at school, to be with you. Its magical." she said as they skated and a lite snow thunderstorm happened.

Alidia began moving with the music as she danced with Vlad.

"The only real magic here is the magic you bring with you. Not the magic you practiccce, but the kind you have in your sssmile, your eyesss, and your heart." Rahim said as he took her hand and dances with her across the ice.

Alidia smiled and blushed as she made them have wings as they floated. "Ta Da..." she giggled as she twirled.

"Sssee what I mean. There'sss magic in every moment you do sssomething sssmall. Call it an ordinary miracle if you will." Rahim said, giving her a loving smile.

Alidia placed her head on her beloved's chest as they danced. "I love you so much."

"You know, that remindsss me of a sssong I wrote a few yearsss ago. Back then, I could only write the music. But now, the words to the sssong jussst hit me." Rahim suddenly said.

Alidia smiled as she looked up at her beloveds eyes. "I'd loved to hear it my desert god. And I'm sure they'd like to hear their daddy sing."

Rahim smiled at her at the sweet thought. He took a minute to remember the song's tune. Once it was fresh in his memory again, he took a deep breath and began to sing.

Alidia started to cry. "Oh my dear Rahim. That was beautiful." Alidia wrapped herself in his arms and wrapped her wings with his.

"Thank you, my love. I was happy to share that with you, and the little one." Rahim said, placing a hand on her stomach. "As long as I haven't upssset you."

Alidia smiled when Rahim placed his hand on her stomach. "I cried cause it was wonderfully written," Alidia paused to look into her beloved's eyes and pushed back Rahim's bangs, "the little one is going to be like you so much." Alidia giggled as they landed.

"How do you know? There'sss got to be sssome traitsss they get from you. Even if I have heard of a way to tell if the child is male or female." Rahim said, jokingly.

Alidia felt a kick. "Oh my..cause when you talk or sing...they get energetic. Oh my stomach...." Alidia began to lay down. She was in serious pain.

Rahim sat beside her. He let Alidia lean against him. He grasped her hand gently before going on.
"It'sss too early to tell right now. But it hasss to do with the sssymptom of morning sssicknessss. I've heard that if a pregnant woman getsss morning sssicknessss, her child will be a boy. If not, her child will be a girl." he explained.

Alidia took deep breaths. "I feel like I've to get sick but at times I don't," she paused as she thought then her eyes widen as she stared at her stomach "could it be possible?"

"Is what possssible? What are you thinking about, Alidia?" Rahim asked. He was very curious about her sudden change in demeanor. What was going on?
