Early this morning...

[dr_macgregor]

Rae was the last to leave the suite for work. Mainly because she got every moment of sleep she could, but she was having a bit of difficulty this morning in particular. Normally, her uniform pants fit quite well. They'd been getting a little snug in the past few days, but they still... "ARGH!" She hopped around the bedroom, finally falling back

John ignored her pleas for new uniform pants for a moment and stalked slowly across the room, grinning widely at her. She lay on her back, hair ruffled in a wide halo of red around her, the soft, slightly-rounded swell of her belly just begging to be payed attention to. He crawled over her and kissed his way up one uniform-clad hip to the wide vee made by the open fly of the pants. With deliberate precision, he kissed the entire expanse of pale, smooth skin before levering himself up over her, hazel eyes sparkling with amusement.

"now....you were asking for pants?"

he bent to kiss her, and stopped, his lips a hairsbreadth from hers.

"it's officially...real isn't it? Besides the nausea this is the first real sign we've seen. Rae, you're pregnant." he said all of this with a wide, infectious grin. "with my child."

He rose to his knees and stepped from the bed, hauling her after him with one hand.

"c'mon, let's see if Radek has anything that hasn't either been ripped up by one of his husbands or covered in stains."

He didn't answer, just slinked over to the bed to crawl over her and kiss her softly rounded bump. He seemed even more amused by her desperate attempts not to giggle when he kissed closer to her sides. Rae was grinning by the time he leaned over her mouth, breathing with her. He was still so damn amazed, so thrilled, so... goofy. OK, so was she. She just couldn't quite smiling either. Rae's hand raised to caress his face.

"Yes, my heart, my husband. The sickness is starting to go away and I can't fit in my regular uniform because I'm having your baby. Just think... Another month or so, and you'll be able to feel your child move inside me." Her eyes got wide. "Oh... wow..."

He hauled her to her feet, causing her to giggle again. "Hmph. Half the time, his husbands probably cause the stains." Nope, John just couldn't manage to look appropriately affronted at that, no matter how hard he tried. Good thing the BDU style pants had drawstrings at the ankles. It was easier to tie them loosely just above her boots. Hmm, maybe she'd write to

John grinned over his shoulder at Rae as he fingered a pair of Radek's uniform trousers ripped down one leg and strangely stiff in the waistband.

"I get him a new pair every time I ruin one--I'm a good husband."

He dug through his own BDUs hanging in perfect lines, and found a few more of Radek's khaki trousers mixed in-he pulled a pair out and eyed them critically.

"at the risk of sounding stereotypically gay.."

he glanced at her over the waistband of the khakis. "I think we can do better than this...khaki isn't your color anyway."

John stuffed the khakis back into the closet and rummaged around a moment, until with a soft grunt of satisfaction, he pulled out the single pair of black BDUs Radek recieved when the new offworld drabs came in.

"here, try these--there's a reason they put servicemen in 'em--adjustable from waist to leg, plus you'll get that whole sexy soldier thing going, like me"

He grinned and leaned against the closet door, watching her.

Rae snickered as he pawed through the closet, deciding not to replace her khakis with Radek's pants. "No, it isn't, but it's the color I supposed to wear." She grabbed the black pants out of the air when he tossed them at her. Rae slipped out of her own pants and spoke as she drew on the offworld darks

"probably be uncomfortable and without pants? Actually, that idea has merit.."

He tugged her into a tight hug and resisted the urge to square away her BDUs, assuring himself that no one would care that her seams weren't righted or her drawstrings tucked away.

"now go, or the rest of the lab will end up unconcious or worse without your guidance."

she hurried from the room and John waved after her, feeling strangely content, and dangerously domestic--though he was coming to enjoy the sensation.
