Talking like this always made her nervous. She started pacing around the room.

It's natural for people to ask about children right before you get married. I've heard it every time.

Ian shook his head but smiled, sadly. It was the kind of smile someone might have if they were fondly remembering a dead relative of friend. It had a mix of happiness and hopeless sadness.

I don't want to talk about it.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

I understand. She went to hug him

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Ian gave her a hug. Don't worry about it.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

She didn't let go of him.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Ian just holds her because he knows she needs it.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

I love you. She whispered.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

I love you too. Ian pulled back a little to look at her though the thoughts on his mind were still depressing him.

What did you want to talk about?

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

Um...

I'm ahead in planning, and, um.

If you want, we can move the wedding date up. Would you want?

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Move it up how far?

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

Before Christmas? She sounded unsure.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Right after the New Year? Ian wasn't sure about trying to cram everything in. The beginning of December is final exams and final papers. I won't have time.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

When would you have time?

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

I could request Spring semester off.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

It would take that long? What if we do the honeymoon over the summer?

Spring semester would be nice, though.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

We could have the wedding in mid-January and take some time for a honeymoon.

I thought you didn't want to wait until Summer? Ian was confused.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

I meant we could get married and take the honeymoon later.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Why don't you pick a day in January so we can send out invitations.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

The first Saturday in January.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Ian looked thoughtful. The day after New Year's? Uh.. any reason you want to move it up so far?

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

Yes. I mean, there's no reason, but that's the right date.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

You always have a reason.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

I want to be married to you sooner.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Ian gave her another hug. Do you have everything you need for the wedding?

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

Yes. I've done all the planning that I can.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Why don't we write out the invitations this weekend?
