Apt 8160, late afternoon, Ang and Alec (closed)
Ang came home from work early for once, if tired again. It seemed just these last couple of weeks she'd been tired a lot, but other than work being busy she couldn't think of a single cause. She'd been sleeping OK, eating right when not queasy, and generally not doing anything out of the ordinary. She had an hour or so before Alec expected her home, he was probably out walking Faith, so she changed her clothes, wanting something looser and more comfortable than her work clothes. Once changed she settled herself on the sofa with a cup of tea and her laptop, intending to send Julie a long chatty email about the latest goings on. She sipped at her tea, typed her mail, and generally relaxed.

She yawned a little, and settled down a little further into the sofa. Resting her head back on the arm she let her hair down from it's french twist. It shimmered and tumbled down over the arm of the sofa, dangling over the end. She massaged her scalp lightly, feeling the beginnings of a headache forming and closed her eyes. Slowly, her breathing deepened into the regular rhythm of sleep, and her hands stilled, falling from her head to rest, one on her chest, the other across her stomach.

On the coffee table, her tea cooled, and on her lap the computer shut itself down.

	Alec returned home completely unexpecting what he found on the couch. Concerned, he unclipped Faith's leash, hung it up and went to sit beside Ang. "Ang...?" he said gently, touching her forehead. "Ang? You okay?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Mmm?" Ang woke slowly, her eyes blinking a little with the effort of waking up, "Alec? What time is it? Did I miss my alarm?" She shifted slightly, turning towards him, the laptop tilting precariously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He grabbed the computer before it could fall and closed it gently, setting it behind him on the coffeetable. "You fell asleep on the couch....?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, I um, I only sat down for a minute, to send an email and have some tea?" Ang was almost all the way awake now, and carefully sat up, looking at her watch, "Oh, I should have started dinner ages ago!" Not that she'd want to cook, or eat much of whatever she made, but, she couldn't not eat just because she felt a little off colour still. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He didn't move, keeping her blocked in on the couch. "Still not feeling well, are ya?" he pressed his palm to her forehead again. No, still no fever. Hmm.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ang briefly considered telling him she was fine, but, she really wasn't feeling quite her usual self, "Just tired? And still a little queasy on occasions. I don't feel quite so bad as I did last week, so hopefully I'm getting over whatever it was." At least, she hoped so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2008-05-27 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	He dropped his hand, considering carefully. "Ang, have you thought, maybe, that the reason you've been tired is because..." he trailed off, unsure how to word it. "Because we were, uh, successful?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2008-05-27 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Successful?" Ang was truly puzzled, not getting what he meant. She yawned slightly, "I wasn't trying to get sick, I hate being ill, and work's been busy lately. That could be it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2008-05-27 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	He rested his palm on her stomach. "Ang," he said flatly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Alec?" Ang looked up at him, then down at his hand. Hers rested next to his, the fingers overlapping slightly, "I don't....." she paused, the realisation of what he was saying making her eyes widen and she looked up at him again, her lower lip caught between her teeth, "I, oh Alec, I don't know?"

There was hope in her voice, along with the tinge of fear that maybe they hadn't, that she wasn't, that it was just some stomach bug she'd picked up from somewhere...

	"Well, it kind of makes sense, doesn't it?" he asked her. "You didn't start feeling bad until just recently, and we, uh, tried a couple weeks ago, remember? You surprised me with the honeymoon remake thing?" He gave her hand a squeeze. "It fits." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2008-05-27 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	Ang was definitely all the way awake now, "I, oh... I guess we'll know for sure in a few days," her mind raced, trying to get her head around dates and counting days... "I should, um, yes, I should know in a week for definite?" She smiled, "Oh Alec, wouldn't that be the most fantastic thing? If it was that night?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2008-05-27 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	He smirked, "They make tests for that sort of thing, ya know. You could know tonight, or tomorrow." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2008-05-27 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't have one, how fast could they work? I mean, isn't it too early? I'm only due on this week-ish?" Ang sat all the way up with a smile, her arms sliding round his waist, "And could we get a couple of the tests? Just in case?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2008-05-27 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, I don't know the specifics having never taken one myself, but you could always look? Maybe on your way home for work tomorrow? Pop in the store, have a peek, see what they say?" he rubbed his hand up and down her back as his arm slid around her. "Couldn't hurt, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2008-05-27 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	"No, couldn't hurt at all, and we'd know then when to take them because I'm sure they have that on them somewhere? They sort of have to right?" Ang snuggled in a little closer, "Oh, I feel so much better for knowing there could be a very good reason for me feeling like I have the last week or so, I was starting to worry about that."

	He smiled, pleased to see her looking more bright-eyed than she had before. "Well enough to maybe eat a little something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2008-05-27 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	"I could probably manage a little something," Ang grinned a little impishly, "especially if I didn't have to cook it first?" She blinked up at him, almost tempted to say pwease? but managing to restrain herself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I was just going to offer," he chuckled. "Go on," he waved her back. "Rest, I'll get something together." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2008-05-27 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Mmmm, nothing too spicy?" Ang settled back into the sofa, then reached for her tea, "Damn, this is cold, I must have been asleep for ages." She grinned at Alec, "I love you, so very much, and no onions?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2008-05-27 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	He ducked his head, and settled the blanket around her. "As you wish," he smiled and disappeared into the kitchen. (Reply to this) (Parent)
