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 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)

	"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)

	anyastark 2010-03-05 12:19 am UTC (link)
	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)

	Anya squealed. Loudly. Then she hugged him very tightly. "That's wonderful, love! I'm so proud of you! I knew you could do it!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-03-05 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Ack! His dad was supposed to be the one who was nearly deaf, not him! With squeeing like that... He smiled. He maybe wasn't totally sure about this, but hey, if she believed in him... "Yeah," he said. "Thanks. Don't have a major yet or anything, but still..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-03-05 12:57 am UTC (link)
	"It's a start and you can get general ed requirements out of the way while you decide on what you want to do." She kissed him. "I am so proud of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-03-05 01:10 am UTC (link)
	Steve smiled as they pulled away from this kiss. "You're right," he agreed. He just hoped he could juggle classes and Avenging. Even if he just about had a whole summer to figure it out. "And thanks," he added. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course. This means we need to celebrate. Tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-03-05 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"I like the sound of that," Steve said. He paused, thinking over what Anya had been through, and what their own particular brand of "celebrating" often eventually turned into. "Whatever you want. I'm easy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-03-05 01:32 am UTC (link)
	"I know you are," she smiled, "But how does dinner and a movie sound?" Anya wanted their usual style of "celebrating" turned into, but it was probably best to take things slow. They were still adjusting to the new situation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve's thoughts exactly. ...When the heck did he turn into the responsible one? That was Lt. Whitebread's job. He was the loudmouth who didn't think things through. "Sounds totally awesome" he said. "Is that new Wonderland movie out yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
