half-canon, because Closet Sex does has Consequences. :|

[...well. So.

At least the decision to let him hold the child doesn't seem to be ending in bloody murder of either the "it's wrong it's so wrong destroy it" variety or the "horribly unclean let me fix it" variety.

Chives may never move from standing and staring at the child in his arms again, but. That's not such a bad thing, is it?]

They will have the quietest, tidiest baby ever.

[graceandwit]

[If she weren't so exhausted, she probably would have worried - not that he would do anything, of course, it's just that...babies. Not really something she ever saw happening.

And certainly not like this.

Still, that doesn't mean that she regrets it - any of it - at all.]

Everything okay?

At least Tegan will be an untraumatic mommy.

[piquedbutler]

...yes. [The almost quizzical expression he's giving the baby shifts as he glances up at her.] He's sleeping.

[And breathing. Both good things.]

Fingers crossed, at least.

[graceandwit]

They do that, I believe.

Though we should probably enjoy that while we have the chance.

[piquedbutler]

[He nods absently. Intellectually, yes, they should take advantage of the boy sleeping. But...]

...you're happy?

[graceandwit]

Of course.

[He's happy, healthy and by all accounts a perfectly normal child. What more could she want, really.]

[piquedbutler]

[A not-accidental father, maybe.

Still, he'll shift over to her, press a brief kiss against her forehead and surrender the child to the mother's arms.]

[graceandwit]

I've been thinking. About names.

[piquedbutler]

...particular ones?

[graceandwit]

Names are...they're very important, don't you think?

[piquedbutler]

...they are. [A careful reach to smooth back a few strands of her hair.] He needs a good one.
