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...?"

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

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

"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.

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.

"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."

	From: rogue_star	Date: May 25th, 2013 01:05 am (UTC)		(Link)

"Oh, I know. And I'm not complaining. That's part of why this works. You have your hobbies and job, I have mine, and then we can leave those there when we get home at night."

	From: anyastark	Date: May 25th, 2013 11:04 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Also because you're the only one crazy enough to put up with me."

"I don't know, I think I might have gotten the better end of the deal. But it seems to work well for both of us."

	From: anyastark	Date: May 26th, 2013 09:07 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"I don't think so," Anya said. "I definitely got the better end of the deal. Dealing with Rogers are definitely easier than dealing with Starks."

	From: rogue_star	Date: May 27th, 2013 05:18 am (UTC)		(Link)

"Granted, but being a Stark comes with a lot of fringe benefits. Or being married to one."

"Along with expectations," Anya said. "Good and bad."

	From: rogue_star	Date: May 29th, 2013 04:57 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Somehow I think we're more or less even on the family expectations thing."

"Yes, but I mine are an excuse for bad behavior," Anya said with a grin.

	From: rogue_star	Date: May 29th, 2013 10:41 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Ok, can't argue that, even if a part of my mother used to be a supervillainess. My grandmother on that side is the main bad influence there."
