Who: Mary and Gabriel
What: I'ma get get get get you drunk...
Where: Mary's flat
When: Saturday night, lateish

Mary was sleepy...and hungry. Actually, probably more hungry than sleepy. Which was why she was currently baking a batch of brownies because she was craving cake and chocolate and fudge and it was the only thing that could really satisfy all three of those at once without really accomplishing anything. She pouted a bit to herself as she scraped the mixing bowl, letting the last bit of the batter plop into the baking pan. God, these better taste good otherwise she'd be very upset at how long she would be waiting for them to bake fully.

It was shaping up to be a pretty uneventful evening, that was, until she heard the familiar sound of someone arriving in her fireplace. Strange...she hadn't been expecting anyone and--she felt this sudden fear boil up in her as she heard things hitting the floor in the living room and she was panicking and no. Call it her maternal instinct, but if this was someone coming because she was a muggleborn and vocal about things and--she grabbed the cast iron skillet from the stove top, holding its handle with both hands as she made her way around the corner. Ugh, where was Gabriel when she needed him around?!

Gabriel's shoulders were sunk low, head dropping forward slightly as his current inebriation was beginning to take its toll. He let Mary take his hand as it had just fallen limp onto the seat, and he didn't resist her movements. He hadn't been as affectionate toward her growing stomach as a normal father would be, and part of that ate at him, but it was not as if he normally touched Mary with any sort of affection. Which--also bothered him, it did, but he was just not ready to make that sort of--

Oh, she was trying to see if the baby would kick for him.

He lifted his head with some effort, pressing down just a bit to see if he could, but he felt nothing more than the fabric of her shirt. She was trying, though, and while his mind couldn't do anything but drive him hysterical, it managed to give him some common sense, after nearly revealing his disowning. Mary did not need to know about his parents' reactions to the news, and Gabriel wanted to keep it that way.

Gabriel smiled and nodded, keeping his hand on her stomach as his gaze dropped again. He hadn't felt a thing, but--he needed to stop this from going any further.

Mary mustered the best smile she could. His complete lack of speech and how he was holding himself--he looked like a dog that had been kicked and it was bothering her. She wanted things to feel great for once--not just good, and not okay. She wanted to make this work with him, more than anything. She could handle having their son and she had been managing so far with their current relationship, but she couldn't help but think that there was this tiny being that was a mix of the two of them inside of her and she felt so intimately tied to him, but not to his father and--bugger. She was not going to let herself get hormonal and start crying. Especially not in front of Gabriel.

She gave his hand a gentle squeeze before letting it drop. She was exhausted and needed sleep. Obviously he needed it as well...and a place to actually sleep. With a sigh, she stood from the chair and left the living room momentarily, going to rummage through the linen closet for sheets and a more comfortable pillow. "Will you be alright for the night?" she asked softly, folding her arms as she looked over at him.
