Where: Vic's Place

When she'd gotten home, she'd gone to the doctor. Thomas confusion and headaches made her worry and after the attack the doctors had wanted her to come back in after th holiday. She'd sat at the office when they drew the blood, and when the doctor had returned with a frown she'd been a little concerned. But he'd given her the results, and those had made her pale a little. The doctor had said he could run other tests to confirm it, but there was a ninety percent chance it would come up again.

After a moment of freaking out the doctor had send her out and she wasn't sure what to do. There was a vague sense of panic, mixed with relief that there had been a conversation about this. She just hadn't expected kids for a few more years. She was completely unprepared for this.

For a while she'd sat on the curb near the doctor to get her head right, before making a plan. The first step would be to talk to Victor. She'd work out the other steps later. In a daze she walked home, startling herself when she was at the door. She hadn't even realized it. She ran her hand through her hair as she opened it and set her bag down before going to find Victor. "Hey."

"I don't know if there is such a thing either, but I'm not going anywhere," he said easily. When she mentioned he would be a dad, he couldn't contain his joy. He grinned and buried his face in her shoulder. "I love you too," he said, his voice slightly muffled. "I'm really excited."

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

That just made her laugh and she set one arm around him. "I know. You're allowed to be. And you're adorable at it." She leaned her head against his. "I'm really thankful that you're not going anywhere by the way. And that you're helping me calm down. You're the best."

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

"Absolutely not." He lifted his head and kissed her cheek. "You're stuck with me. And I'll calm you down whenever you need. Do you need anything else? You realise I might become a nightmare trying to take care of you, right?"

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

Grinning she nodded. His excitement was enough to fuel her own. "Oh I realize that. It's worth it though. But no right now I don't need anything else. Just this is more then enough."

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

"Works for me." He pulled her close so he could wrap his arms around her. "We can stay here and use the office as a nursery, or we could get a new place if you'd like. I don't mind." His duplex was wonderful, and it hard a little yard as well as being across the street from a small, city park. Still, he didn't mind leaving it behind if she wanted somewhere bigger.

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

It was rather nice to be wrapped up so she cuddled close to him. "I like it here. If we need anything bigger in the future we can look at things then. We can look at things after the OBGYN thing if you like?" She leaned down to pet Ace, "and don't worry. We'll remember you puppy. You just get someone who can grow up with you."

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

"Sounds perfect," he said happily. "We'll have a little family." He kissed her hair and gave her a gentle squeeze. "It'll be wonderful."

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

She chuckled to that, and set one hand over her stomach. "Yeah. This means we should talk about a possible permanent move in. If you're alright with that."

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

"You're going to have my child," he said with a grin. "I think it's safe to say you're free to move in whenever you'd like. It's your home too now. Actually has been for awhile. We can make whatever changes you'd like to as well." He wasn't precious about anything really, except his guitar which he would be putting away so it was safe from small children. He had already moved it so Ace didn't knock it over.

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

She shook her head, "I like the place, and I just need a place for my games." She didn't need to change much, already loving the place. She smiled at him then kissed him, "I am a bit hungry though. Skipped lunch. So if you want to make something I'd love it."

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

"Of course!" he said cheerfully. He kissed her one more time and then stood, offering her a hand in case she wanted to come sit at the counter while he cooked. "And there's plenty of space for everything."

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

She took his hand and rose with a smile. "Thanks love. I appreciate it." With that she went to sit on the counter and settled her hand over her stomach, still a bit surprised by this. "So your in laws will get a kick off this. Want to invite Rose and her partner for dinner to break the news? We can invite her folks too if you like."

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

"Of course, honey." He started gathering ingredients and then he laughed. "Rose and Aislinn will be excited and oh goodness...my in-laws-" They were going to be over the moon. "I think they'll feel like they're getting a grandchild."

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

It was all in all, a better reaction then she felt she'd receive from her own family. "That's adorable. Hey let them know if they want to be involved they're free to do so." She felt that was only fair. They seemed to love Victor so much.

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

"They'll be overjoyed to hear that," he said honestly. And they had been like parents to him, so he was glad to hear Kat say it too. "So is your mother likely to want my head as a sacrifice?"

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

She knew they were important to him so she wanted to include them. At his question she gave a snort. "Oh God. My mom will freak, but not at you. I wouldn't do that. Nor will my grandfather by the way. They won't be happy. Not at first, but it makes us happy."

"We can win them over," he said, trying to sound calm about it. He was worried about Hermes, but what could he do? He would just have to prove this would work by making it wonderful.

Uhm...Hermes?

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

"We can win them over," he said, trying to sound calm about it. He was worried about Hermes, but what could he do? He would just have to prove this would work by making it wonderful.

Hahaha no threatening people today Hermes <3

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

"Of course we can." She smiled at him. She'd try and smooth things over as much as she could. It seemed unfair for her family to blame him. "I'm pretty sure it'll help if I tell Hermes you proposed. I just won't mention when. If that doesn't work I'll just remind them you make me happy."

He's so sad, he loves threatening people!

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

"Always a good thing to remind them of," he said with a wink. "Oh goodness, does this mean you have to stop drinking coffee?"

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

She gave him a look, "you're not allowed to make fun of me, I'm going to have your child." She grinned, "I have found the best excuse for everything ever. But yes I have to stop drinking coffee and I'll ask the doctor what is and isn't good for me as well."

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

He grinned and danced away whimsically before saying, "I could give it up too if it would make you feel better." He didn't want her to feel alone in it.

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

It was really sweet of him to offer, "no. I think I'll manage. But thank you for the offer. I really do appreciate it."

[sciomachy.insanejournal.com]

"Well if you change your mind, the offer's there." He tossed the chicken he had cooked into a ceasar salad and then he placed it all onto some bread, making an open-faced chicken ceasar sandwich. "Here we go," he said, handing it over.

[shades-of-fate.insanejournal.com]

Gratefully she took the plate before starting. She hadn't really eaten anything and she figured she should probably change those eating habits. "I can't promise I won't take up on the offer in the future. It'll depend on how much I'll miss coffee."
