For [livejournal.com profile] dontthinkabout

Eight weeks. She was eight weeks pregnant, and she knew she couldn't wait any longer. Her errands complete, she put the groceries away and went to find Arthur in his office. Slipping her arms around his shoulders from behind, she kissed his neck. "I'm going to call my parents on Skype in a few minutes. I'd like you to be with me," she murmured in his ear.

“Sure,” he said as he devoted a part of his attention to the bacon while still keeping an eye on the burgers.
chesstotem: (lol!)

She was back after a few moments, smiling again. "I think my bladder shrunk to the size of a pea."

“Oh the joys of being pregnant,” he joked as he flipped the burgers with a spatula.

She nudged him affectionately with her elbow, then carefully turned the bacon over so it got nice and crispy on both sides.

"We both knew what we were getting into," she said cheerfully.

“We did,” he said as he turned to kiss her temple. Leaving the burgers on the pan for a bit, he turned on the ovens and laid out the buns on a baking sheet to toast.
chesstotem: (answering)

"Hopefully having my parents around as well will act as a buffer, of sorts," she said conversationally. "I don't want to antagonize your mother, but it's what I need."

“I think she’ll be too concerned with how she presents herself to take a dig at you.”
chesstotem: (hair in face)

"I hope so. Anxiety makes me nauseous." She made a little face and rubbed her abdomen as though to demonstrate.

He rested a hand on her lower back. "Don't think about it. Let me handle it."
chesstotem: (beautiful)

[personal profile] chesstotem 2011-10-05 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
She leaned in and kissed his cheek. "You're so good to me... Oh crap! The bacon!" She quickly pulled it off the stove and drained it.

He laughed as he turned off the stove and the oven and got two plates for each burger. He set each plate down on the table before going back to get cheese and ketchup.
chesstotem: (pretty)

Ariadne busied herself slicing some pickles, then went for the ice cream to start making that chocolate milkshake.

[identity profile] dontthinkabout.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
“You’re making one for me, right?”

He was laying down the bacon on her burger as well as his.
chesstotem: (beautiful)

[personal profile] chesstotem 2011-10-05 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course!" She blended the ice cream, milk, and some chocolate syrup to make it even richer, then separated it into two glasses. "Perfect."

“Come on, sit.” He pulled out her chair for her before going to his and sitting down.
chesstotem: (pretty)

[personal profile] chesstotem 2011-10-05 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
She sat down, and made sure to put several pickles on her burger.

"Thank you for calling your mother."

[identity profile] dontthinkabout.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
“I suppose it had to be done,” he said with a shrug.
chesstotem: (hair in face)

[personal profile] chesstotem 2011-10-05 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, she is your mother," she said with a shrug. "I mean... as awful as she's been to me..." She still hated the fact that she'd caused such a rift between them.

[identity profile] dontthinkabout.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
“Yeah, don’t remind me.”
chesstotem: (awkward hairdo)

[personal profile] chesstotem 2011-10-05 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
She leaned into him a little. "I'm sorry, Arthur."

[identity profile] dontthinkabout.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
“It’s alright. You can’t choose your family, right?”
chesstotem: (beautiful)

[personal profile] chesstotem 2011-10-05 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
"But you can choose a wife who adores you and would do anything for you," she finished for him.

[identity profile] dontthinkabout.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
He grinned. “Yeah, I guess that’s an upside.”
chesstotem: (distant)

[personal profile] chesstotem 2011-10-05 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
"And I know your mom loves you, she just... Has issues that she should probably be working through in therapy if she'd ever give it a chance."

[identity profile] dontthinkabout.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
“Yeah,” he repeated with a nodded.
