"I want to spoil you as much as I can," Anya said. "You deserve it. You have to put up with me and my Starkness." Anya opened the containers and went to fetch spoons to dish out the food. She also grabbed two bottles of water while she was in the kitchen.

"I did have some idea what I was getting into when I married you. Besides, half the time I think you're spoiling you, and I'm along for the ride." she teases, settling in at the table.

"Maaaaybe," Anya said as she came from the kitchen. She placed the spoons on the table and leaned over to kiss her wife's cheek. "But I do love spoiling you no matter the why." Anya slid into her chair.

Sarah starts in on her food after giving her wife a grateful smile. "I appreciate it, believe me. And much as I'm still not sure about the appeal of the tropics, it will be nice to have a change of scenery for a few days."

"Yes it will be," Anya said. A thought entered her every working mind and she made a mental note to send an email to Bridget after dinner.

Anya was the one who loved the tropics, but this was about apologizing and spoiling her wife. The cabin in the middle of nowhere Russia was more Sarah's speed. It would take less than a minute to email her assistant to have the woman make the arrangements and have someone ready the place for visitors.

"Goodness knows we could both use a few days of peace and quiet."

That much is true. Anya loves being pampered and spoiled. Sarah loves peace and quiet. She happily goes along on her wife's vacations to resorts - and then tends to either take long swims, or lose herself in the gym facilities as wonderful excuses to avoid all the hair appointments, massages, tours and meetings, and get away from most of the crowds. For now, she's just content thinking they're going to go to a tropical resort, which will make Anya happy and get her away from work for a bit - both things Sarah is in favor of.

"Between Stark business and the Avengers, we haven't had much peace or quiet."

Anya will miss the spa facilities that would be present in a nice tropical resort, but this get away was for Sarah and that meant roughing it. Well what Anya considered roughing it. Any place that didn't offer room service or had spa facilities was roughing it in her book.

"No we haven't," Anya agreed. "Though we make it worse since we're both workaholics in our own ways."

They definitely have different definitions. Any time the food comes from a grocery store instead of scavenging and petty theft, and they have enough blankets, its not roughing it - its peace and quiet. For now, though, all that remains a surprise.

"And we probably always will, at least until you're ready to pass the company down somewhere and go on vacation full time."

	From: anyastark	Date: March 23rd, 2012 09:43 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Anya blinked. "Did you just say give the company to someone else and take a permanent vacation? Cause you couldn't have just said that. Cause that's total crazy talk."

Anya shook her head. "Besides, no one else but a Stark will run it."

"I did, same way your dad passed it on... eventually, and when ready. I'm thinking maybe forty, fifty years down the road, you'll be ready to take a few months off."

"Provided there's a Stark to hand it to," Anya said before putting a fork full of wonderful Pad Thai into her mouth. "Otherwise I'll just have to live forever."

Sarah pauses, halfway to another bite of food. "Have you put any more thought into adopting? I know we're both busy and all... but figured I'd ask."

	From: anyastark	Date: March 24th, 2012 06:09 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Schedules can be adjusted where needed," Anya said. "Yes, I've thought about it. I've also done a bit of research and there may be a way we can have one of our own." Anya shrugged. "If we can't, then we can adopt. Hell, we can do both."

	From: rogue_star	Date: March 24th, 2012 09:10 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Yeah, we're both in reach a lot, and hiring a caretaker shouldn't be hard. If... we can have one of our own, definitely something to look into. But we're holding up pretty well, have a lot to offer... and eventually, you need to make sure the company stays in family. Your dad will make the ultimate spoiling-grandpa too."

"Oh gods yes," she said. "Between him and my mother." Anya shook her head. Natural or adopted, the kid would be the most spoiled kid on the planet. Perhaps in even the universe. "I'll talk to my dad. If I mention the idea of him being a grandfather he'll find a way to make it happen."

"Ok... I mean, no hurry. I like what we've got, and a kid is a big adjustment. I just wanted to kind of get your thoughts on being mothers."

	From: anyastark	Date: March 28th, 2012 02:09 am (UTC)		(Link)

"I like the idea of being moms and having a kid or two," Anya said. "The subject was bound to come up."

	From: rogue_star	Date: March 28th, 2012 02:16 am (UTC)		(Link)

"Yeah, same here... let's try and start with one though. Plenty of adjustment right there for a couple workaholics."

	From: anyastark	Date: March 28th, 2012 02:36 am (UTC)		(Link)

"Yeah," she agreed. "I don't feel like trying to field a baseball or football team."

	From: rogue_star	Date: March 28th, 2012 02:47 am (UTC)		(Link)

"Yeah... no. Be kind of nice to have a little girl around though, if we got to choose."
