Moving Day (for dontthinkabout)

[chesstotem]

Ariadne knew that the day all their new furniture got delivered to the condo would be busy - she'd done her best to time all the delivery arrivals so that there wouldn't be too much of a clusterfuck, but inevitably there were about three trucks parked on the street at any given time.

And she had a lot of burly delivery men to direct.

"Master bedroom, please," she said firmly to one group, then turned to another couple of guys, who were hauling her drafting table. "Careful with that, please take it to the breakfast nook, that space to the back of the kitchen with all the windows. Thanks..."

He laughed softly. “So how many children are we aiming for, hm? Girl Boy? Both?”

[chesstotem]

She shrugged a little. "One, maybe two, if we like the first one enough. One of each might be nice, if it happened. At least, I think so."

“I think I can handle two kids,” he mused. “More than that, I’m not too sure.”

[chesstotem]

"I don't think I'd want more than two," she said immediately. "Believe it or not, I've put some thought into it."

“I can believe it.” He turned onto his side and draped his arm over her waist. “So are we going to be working parents?”

[chesstotem]

"Of course," she said, running her hand along his arm to his shoulder. "I can do a lot of my work from home. I can't imagine just... quitting."

“Unfortunately, I can’t do a lot of my work from home,” he said quietly. “And I don’t want to…I love my job.”

[chesstotem]

She smiled affectionately at him. "You won't be the first working parent, and you won't be the last, either."

“But we won’t be normal working parents,” he pointed out.

[chesstotem]

"No, just amazing ones," she replied, kissing him.

He sighed after the kiss, touching his forehead to hers. “And what are we going to tell our children? That I’m on a business trip?”

[chesstotem]

"If you have to leave for a job, yes. That's what it is, isn't it?" She shrugged.

[dontthinkabout.livejournal.com]

“I suppose. But you know it’s more than just a business trip.”

[chesstotem]

"No it's not. It's a trip, for your job. Which makes it a business trip." She smiled a little. "Unless you intend to step out on me, since I'll probably have stretch marks from the kids."

He furrowed his brow together. "I would never cheat on you, Ariadne."

[chesstotem]

"Mm-hm. I know." Her arms wrapped around him, tugging him close for a kiss.

“You’re the only one I’ll ever be in love with,” he said against her lips.

[chesstotem]

"Good. Then my spell worked." She smiled.

“You’ve bewitched me, Ariadne.”

[chesstotem]

"According to some," she murmured. "Might as well not disappoint anyone."

“What if I said that I came to you willingly?” He asked, knowing that what he said had rubbed her the wrong way.

[chesstotem]

She giggled. "Of course, I bewitched you to think so."

[dontthinkabout.livejournal.com]

“I feel like this is going to go in circles,” he laughed.

[chesstotem]

"Yeah, usually. That's how magic works, after all." She leaned in, kissing along his chest. "I love you so much. God, you make me so happy."

"You can't be as happy as me when I'm with you."
