[Sunday morning--it's Halloween]

[his eyes open slowly to sunlight filtering through their bedroom windoq]

[eyes come into focus]

[immensely content and smiling gently like a fool]

[scooches up a little closer to her]

Good morning, love.

[eyes open]

Matthew...

[looks over his face]

[violet eyes, blond eyebrows, stubble..easy smile]

[raises a hand and runs fingers over his brow]

Good morning to you.

[smiles even wider at her familiar touch]

And to you, sweet.

[brushes fingertips over the very prominent baby bump jutting out between them]

And to you too, glorious second spawn of our mighty loins.

[son is... presumably... still asleep. The house is quiet. So much so that he can hear her breathing softly]

[traces down his face across the cheekbone]

[he looks so young without the glasses]

I think she's still sleepy. Just like her brother.

[quiet...his breath is what she hears]

[moves her arm around him]

How did you sleep?

[eases a little closer until he is right up against her--insofar as is possible, of course]

[it's amazing how, out of uniform and with her hair down, she looks so girlish and innocent still... if she is aging, he can't see it. She looks the same as the day they met, but warmer. Brighter.]

I slept excellently, love. It does seem to be the perfect day for sleeping in, doesn't it?

[presses his hand more firmly against her belly in contemplation]

Hmm... we haven't yet thought of a name, have we? I fear our time is running short.

[if their grocery bills and his midnight snack runs are anything to go by... not to mention a waddle that would put a penguin to shame]

[tummy bump]

[if he looked closer he might find a strand of different colored hair]

[exhale makes his curl move slightly]

[completely unintentional...? He has an adorable blush.]

Yes, it does...something to go with Matt perhaps?

[not to mention an increase in seafood purchases after that amusing incident]

[baby nestled snugly between both parents' warmth &hearts ]

[naturally that tickling breath on his haircurl sends a wash of blood to his face]

[and elsewhere, but he's been learning to discipline that reaction down]

What would match Matt well? Should it sound similar, or, hmm... just compliment it? The names must sound good together. They must be united. One.

[child is safe]

[can't hold back a small smile]

[&hearts]

Something that will fit her, that she will be proud to have... Matt mentioned a kitty.

[grin]

K starting?

[rubs her belly -3-]

[grins back, absolutely in love and drunk on this feeling of having it all--a lover and a true family and, finally, his own life, to live as he chooses...

...and what he's choosing is changing, bit by bit]

He likes cats, yes... So.... Kat, then? Katrina? Kathy? Katherine?

[certain he felt a flutter under his hand]

[eyes close... for a moment there's a happy sound almost like a purr]

[they're free and he's at peace]

[!]

Hm- yes, Katherine. It fits well, and Matt will have a Kat.

Reply

maple_sickles October 27 2010, 08:14:50 UTC
And Kat will have a Matt. It fits. It's perfect, my love...

[leans in, loving that purring noise that seems to come from deep inside d!a]

[kisses her deeply, fitting his slightly concave abdomen to her very convex one]

maple_sickles October 27 2010, 08:19:08 UTC
A pure gift together they will be...

[kisses him back, arms going to hold him]

[this moment...peace has come after a long time]

maple_sickles October 27 2010, 08:30:25 UTC
A pure gi--

[laughs softly]

It really is perfect, isn't it?

[wraps his long arms and legs around her loosely; a gentle, protective gesture]

[pauses wonderingly]

We're parents. We have children...

[shakes head slightly]

Who could have ever imagined?

[his eyes are wide and wondering, and his smile has that little strain to it, hinting at intense emotions under the surface]

They suit one another well.

[also shifts so their limbs are entangled]

[leans against his shoulder]

I could have never imagined from when we first met.

[looks up into his eyes]

What is it, Matthew?
