MacBoot!
It was days like this that Noah was really glad he'd hired Lyssandra. She had common sense (except for the getting pregnant by a drug-addict rock star), and could handle the business of the planetarium while he locked himself away in the observatory and did what he did best. Look at the stars. Of course, during the day it was mostly chart work, but that was honestly half the fun. He was currently tracking an asteroid that he believed to be the one from some old, wizarding texts that hadn't been seen in nearly three centuries, and if he could prove that it followed the same orbit as they had said in the texts...

They would name it the Boot Asteroid. The Noah Asteroid? The Noah Boot Asteroid.

He sat back to think about this, musing about what he'd label this find of his. Maybe he'd be a good father and let them call it the Terry Asteroid, but when would he ever get another chance? Terry would understand, he was sure.

Noah stretched back and nearly tipped over backwards as he cracked his back. It felt like he'd been sitting in the chair all bleeding day, and by his quick look at the clock, he had been. Merlin, he needed to get up and eat. And go to the bathroom. And wash his face, because he probably had ink all over it. Fuck, he really wished he hadn't quit smoking, he could go for a drag right now.

His ink stained palm wiped itself down the side of his face and he swiveled toward the door opening. Noah smiled at the sight of Odette, though his expression was one of surprise. She rarely made trips to the planetarium. "Hey, just in time for lunch."

Noah stared on in shock as Odette sputtered and cried, trying to grasp everything she was saying. It was strange; he knew he looked remarkably calm on the outside, but he was sure that his heart, stomach, lungs were freaking out in a much similar manner to Odette. Noah could honestly say that only his mind was managing to keep calm, because he was sure he had never believed he was going to throw up and have a heart attack at the same time, before. And hyperventilate.

How was his mind managing to keep him so neutral while the rest of his body, and Odette, were having total meltdowns?

Noah blinked again and kept his arms tightly around her. A report? Oy, had it leaked already? He flushed, wondering if he was the last person in the wizarding world to find out that they were having a baby. But--that wasn't the most important thing right now. Right now all that mattered was the two of them.

The three of them.

Four, with Terry. How the hell had they managed, under a year, to become a family of four? Noah let out a breath and leaned into her arm. "It's going to be okay, I---second? Well...you could be back on the field next season, right? He'll---she'll...the baby can just come to work with me and Terry, and..."

Noah sighed, his hand rubbing her back in a comforting manner, "I know...you didn't want to have kids, and I respect that, so...I promise to make this as stress free as possible, Odette, I--" Noah never thought, in his life, that he'd feel the need for some sweeping romantic gesture, but here he was. "I'm yours, I'll--I'm going to do anything and everything for you and the baby, I promise you."

Her body and hands unclenched as Odette immediately quieted after Noah's words. Still sniffling, she looked at him for a very long time, letting her brain catch up to her thoughts. That was probably one of the most thoughtful and caring, not to mention very open (especially for them) things that anyone had said to her in a long time. And if she wasn't in the state she was in now, Odette probably would have laughed at Noah for saying it, but she wasn't. In fact, it made her heart fill lighter and her head feel less muddled.

A feeble smile appeared on her lips as she leaned to curl into his chest. For a few seconds, she simply breathed, brushing away the last of her tears. "I didn't--- tell anyone because I wanted to tell you first." Odette paused as she reached to play with the button on his shirt. "No one knows yet, and-- the team is upset, but--" it would be lying to say that she didn't care, but right now she suddenly realized how important Noah was. How important Noah, and Terry, this baby... her family should matter more to her than quidditch, so it would. Of course, she had understood that before, but now she really understood it.

Hadn't she just been crying hysterically ten seconds ago? Her body felt like it definitely had been, but compared to how she emotionally felt, it was like nothing was wrong. Odette lifted her head from his shoulder to speak clearly. "I love you," she stated quietly. Suddenly, she felt very tired. Her head went back to his shoulder before she spoke again. "And-- you don't have to do everything."
