Anya smiled. "I like that. It's pretty."

"I almost hope its a girl, because... well, that'd be nice, and I really like that name now. But in case... hmm, Steven Anthony if its a boy?"

"I like that, but I know someone who will try to change those names around."

	From: rogue_star	Date: May 23rd, 2013 12:59 am (UTC)		(Link)

"Oh, I know. And I'm sure he'll be bribing the kid right and left to go by Anthony. Almost tempted to go with something else, just for that... I would have been James, had I been a boy. I kind of like that too. What do you think? I'm really only sold on the girl name so far."

"We have time to pick out a boy's name," she said. "Who knows. Maybe it'll be twins and we'll have a boy and a girl."

"With all your technology involved, and obsessive parents, I'm sure we'll know pretty quickly. I'm happy with whatever it is. Though I'm not really sure I'd want to wish nine months of twins on you."

"That just means you'll have to pamper me for a change," Anya said with a smile. "Now shower. We have celebrating to do. Tonight will probably be our only night of quiet before the grandparents-to-be descend upon us."

"Oh man... you're right. They'll be practically moving in, and expecting to see us regularly." Sarah scurries off to grab a quick shower.

Anya laughed as she watched her wife run to get a shower. Time to go order dinner. Life was about to get very interesting.

Its not that Sarah dislikes Tony and Natasha. She adores them. But she and her wife have their lives and routines. They wake up, Anya goes to the lab, Sarah goes to the gym, then to trouble briefings through SHIELD and the Avengers... and then, if that's quiet, back to the gym. It keeps them both busy and happy. Its a good rut.

And yet, she's excited anyway, and sure it will all be worth it.

She makes it a record fast shower, rushing just as fast to pull some comfy lounging clothes on so they can get on to pizza, ice cream and couples time.

"Hawaiian pizza on the way, with Americone Dream and fresh strawberries. Did I miss anything?" Anya asked her wife.

"Only whatever you're having. Sounds perfect to me." Sarah calls back, as she's finishing getting ready. "And what are we doing while we eat and for the night? Snuggling and movies, or...?"

	From: anyastark	Date: May 23rd, 2013 01:44 am (UTC)		(Link)

"Snuggling and movies sound good," Anya called back. "Unless you want to do something else."

	From: rogue_star	Date: May 23rd, 2013 01:47 am (UTC)		(Link)

"As long as I get my redhead time in before the family descends, I'm happy. I picked dinner, you pick the movies."

	From: anyastark	Date: May 23rd, 2013 01:53 am (UTC)		(Link)

"You can have as much redhead time as you want," Anya said and started looking through the movies. Something with action and explosions. Neither of them liked chick flicks.

	From: rogue_star	Date: May 23rd, 2013 02:03 am (UTC)		(Link)

Its very true - Sarah had definitely been sold on action movies. "Dinner and dessert during one movie, and a second show's worth of snuggling when we've eaten, then, and maybe see about taking the celebration to the bedroom?"

"It sounds like a perfect plan," Anya said with a smile.

	From: rogue_star	Date: May 23rd, 2013 11:00 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"We'll have to start looking at getting your office and workspace better set up for when you start getting bigger. Want to make sure you stay comfortable in there."

Because taking any time off just wasn't going to happen.

"I was thinking about working from home when I get bigger," Anya said. "Sit on the couch and do my meetings via teleconference."

"You're really planning on staying out of your workshop for more than a few days at a time?"

	From: anyastark	Date: May 23rd, 2013 11:21 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Yes, because I don't want my wife dragging me out."

	From: rogue_star	Date: May 24th, 2013 06:03 am (UTC)		(Link)

She grins. "I don't drag you out of the workshop any more than you pull me out of the gym."

	From: anyastark	Date: May 24th, 2013 10:15 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"I drag you out of the gym quite frequently," Anya said. "Case in point. Tonight."

	From: rogue_star	Date: May 24th, 2013 11:29 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Ok, true. But still not /that/ often, since you put in a lot of time working too."

	From: anyastark	Date: May 24th, 2013 11:42 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"I know I work a lot," Anya said. "But I promise that won't happen as much in the near future."
