I wish I was half as good as you think I am
Anya rubbed her eyes and then looked at the laptop screen. This piece of code was giving her problems beyond measure. Coding was never this hard, but for some reason it was just not coming to her today. Sneakers played on the television and she was camped out on the couch in the living room.

Dad was still at work. Mom was napping (weird that she actually slept now) and Dork #2 was still in school. It was quiet in the Stark household. Which usually meant that something would happen to cause a boom.

Anya blinked a few times. Maybe it was time to take a break when the letters on the screen started running together and got blurry. She looked at the clock. It was close to three in the afternoon. Just around the time Steve was getting out of school.

She smiled. She knew exactly what she was going to do. A quick call downstairs for a car and then she ran to get changed.

Twenty minutes later she was leaning against the car waiting for Steve to come out of the building. She ignored the looks from the students coming out. She was who she was and she was leaning against a Town Car waiting for her boyfriend. Nothing special.

	Steve's gaze was one of pure love and support. "I love you too," he told her, with utter conviction. "But don't apologize. You don't have to. Not for this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them. "I feel like I must apologize," she said.

The look she gave him echoed his. She had fallen head over heels in love with him. "I know it will be a little rough, but you're right. We will get through this."

She wanted to kiss him, but know that he knew she was unsure she should. "You're an incredible guy and I don't deserve you."

	Steve had been one hell of a flirt before. But in love? Only once and only with the person here with him now. "We will. I promise." "Other way 'round," he said, as he always did. He leaned forward and kissed her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya returned the kiss and then wrapped her arms around him for a hug. "You are absolutely amazing." She sighed with relief and held on to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya smiled against his shoulder. She'd suggest skipping ice cream and going back and snuggling on the couch, but ice cream was needed. Snuggling could come later. "Want to come over for dinner tonight? We'll probably have something with noodles in it. Mom's been craving noodles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve smiled happily. The road ahead might be a little rough, but life was still pretty damn good. "Hmm? Sure," he said. "Sounds good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll warn you," she said as she pulled back a little. "Mom can be a little cranky. This whole pregnancy thing. We're all still adjusting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve nodded and listened, but suddenly stopped as the words fully penetrated his brain. "Wait. ...Whut?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I told them not to be complete idiots, but they just don't listen. My mom's pregnant. She's due in November." Anya shook her head. Parents. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Huh," Steve said. "I'd've thought your dad was..., ah, 'fixed'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He was. Apparently when Starks design nannites to heal and fix a person up, we do a really damn good job. Come November I'll have a little sister, or heaven forbid a little brother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well," Steve said. "Good for them, I guess." He smiled. "Not sensing any preference on your part, nope, no sireebob." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have two brothers and only one sister. We need another girl to balance things out," Anya grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-03-04 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	"That's not a balance. That's a majority," Steve corrected, before he could stop himself. "...Not that there's anything wrong with that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-03-04 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	Anya laughed. "It's a balance for me," she clarified. "I want another sister to balance it out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-03-04 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, yeah. ...I knew that." Steve broke out his best grin for that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-03-05 12:01 am UTC (link)
	"Uh huh." She kissed him. "You're lucky you're so cute and that I love you so much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-03-05 12:02 am UTC (link)
	Steve embraced her tightly as they kissed. Luckiest schmuck to ever walk the Earth, he thought. "Love you too," he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So, Mr. Barton, are you going to help me babysit when the folks want to get out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-03-05 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"Depends," he said with a wink. "Am I going to have to change diapers?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled. "Only if you want to learn and get some practice in now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-03-05 12:22 am UTC (link)
	"Practice is good," he conceded. "Oh!" he added suddenly. "I've got some good news." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-03-05 12:33 am UTC (link)
	"Practice makes perfect," she said. "Oh? Tell me Mr. Barton. Otherwise I have vays of making you talk," she said with a fake Russian accent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-03-05 12:40 am UTC (link)
	"Oh really?" he joked. "Maybe I wanna keep silent then." He smiled. "Got my acceptance letter to ESU," he told her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
