Maria was camped out on the couch and watching movies. She needed a day of downtime and a chance to put her feet up. The pregnancy wasn't so bad, but she felt tired and drained most of the time. Fighting bad guys was easier and less taxing. At least in her book.

She had popcorn, water and some other snacks. Everything one would need for a movie marathon.

	Maria sighed. "He'll be right next to Bruce waiting to get his shots in if there's anything left when Bruce is done with Tomas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He couldn't say he thought much of the guy, but this weighed on her mind enough and he didn't want or need to add to it. Time to change the subject. "I'd advice against Tomas or Thomas related names just for clarity's sake and the fact that he'd be related to too many variations of the name." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria knew Thomas didn't approve of her seeing Tomas, given who he was, but Maria did love him. He was probably the first guy she truly loved. "How about Thomas as a middle name?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you'd like, go for it, spelling up to you," he shrugged. "I'm bad at coming up with names," he chuckled. "You're pretty much on your own there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll forgive you for not helping with names as long as you'll be Uncle Thomas," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He rolled his eyes with a slight smile. "Thought you said we were family, so isn't that by default?" Though at least it wasn't Uncle Tommy. He hated the name Tommy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just checking," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's insulting that you'd need to," he teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-05-22 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm not trying to be insulting," she said. "Technically you're my uncle, but I call you my cousin. That's why I asked. To get it straight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Technically, I'm your slightly time-displaced alternate universe uncle. But that's a mouthful and confusing to most." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-05-23 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	"We don't want to confuse this poor kid," she said. It was the barest of sensations and felt like a flutter, but she had felt the baby move. A surprised look crossed her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-05-23 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm sure you'll do that enough," he responded before seeing the look on her face. His brow furrowed a bit in concern. "What?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-05-23 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	"The baby moved," she said with a smile. "Give me your hand." She reached across to grab his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-05-23 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	He didn't really have to give her his hand since she took it, he just shot her a hesitant look. "Okay.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-05-23 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	She placed his hand on her baby bump. "Wait for it." It took a few moments, but there was a small push against the palm of his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-05-24 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"Alright," he said and followed along. At the push he couldn't help but smile slightly. "Already working on the high kick?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's my girl," she said proudly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-05-24 12:23 am UTC (link)
	"That a guess or you already know?" He asked as he removed his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-05-24 12:24 am UTC (link)
	"A guess. I don't think I want to know. I like surprises." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-05-24 01:44 am UTC (link)
	"And you like messing up some people's plans," he smirked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-05-24 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Well yeah," she said. Maria rolled her eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It does make it difficult for the rest of us too, but you're relishing in that no doubt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-05-24 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Since when have I ever made anything easier for you?" Maria asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-05-25 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Making things easier and not going out of your way to make them more difficult are not the same thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-05-25 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe not in your book," Maria said with a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which is still more comprehensive than yours," he shot back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-06-03 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Whatever," Maria said rolling her eyes. "Thanks." Her voice got a little more serious. "For being here during this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-06-05 04:50 am UTC (link)
	He was about to shrug but her tone stopped him. "It's not a problem. That's what family's for right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
