As her pregnancy progressed, Maddy was just thankful it wasn't the middle of July. As much as winter sucked, she couldn't fathom the idea of going through all of this in the sweltering heat.

They had found out recently they were having a little girl, and Maddy had been thrilled. At least now she had an idea of what sorts of things to buy. But this also raised questions too, like where all three of them were going to live, or if it was even all in the same place. So she was headed over to see Joss today, shortbread cookies and hot cocoa in hand.

	Joss had been working at home, arranging another convention over the internet. He had to put out fires by email almost constantly. It was a stressful job, but he always loved the outcome. When he heard the door open, he jumped up and grinned at Maddy. He moved forward to kiss her and take one of the things out of her hands. "Hey! I'm so happy you're here!" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Maddy grinned, kissing him in greeting before hanging up her coat. "Hi! It's nice to be here and not work. Even better, since it has you." She laughed. "So today is for getting out and seeing you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Joss grinned and headed towards the kitchen with the shortbread in hands. "I approve of this day! D'you want anything to drink?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I brought some cocoa!" she said brightly, holding up her thermos. "But I also wanted to talk to you. February will be here before we know it, so I thought we should figure out...you know, if we're all going to live together, or what." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'll get some mugs!" he said, rushing to grab some mugs. When he sat down again he passed one to her. "Well...if you want to, you could live here? There's a room we could make into a nursery! We could get a new place of course, but here you'd be next door to your brother and nephew as well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maddy poured some cocoa for both of them, sipping at hers before speaking. "That does sound like it would make the most sense, and you know I'd never mind being close to Jamie and Tommy," she said. "I just wonder...how would Serenity feel about me and the baby living here? It's her home too, I'd hate for her to feel like I was...invading, or something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"She won't," Joss said with a smile. "She's mentioned it a few times, though there's been other things going on so I kept forgetting to bring it up. I'm so excited about the thought of living with you though. Waking up with you every day. I love you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh good," she said, breathing out a small sigh of relief. "Because I would love to live with you too, I don't see you nearly as much as I'd like. Which sucks, because I love you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgr8justice 2014-11-14 09:09 am UTC (link)
	"I love you too," he said with a wide grin. "And this means I get to take care of you, and be there for the baby. Our daughter." he leaned in and kissed her gently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maddy laughed when she leaned back. "She's not even born yet, and she's got you wrapped around her finger. Which is adorable. And-" She broke off as she felt a kick, grabbing for Joss's hand. "Apparently, someone's ears are burning. Have you felt her kick yet? It's so weird." She laid his hand over her bump. "Wait for it, she'll do it again." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Always," Joss replied. He was going to adore his little girl. He was the kind of guy who would show up at every softball game or dance recital, sit in the front row, and record it to watch over and over again.

"I haven't! I want to feel!" His touch was gentle as he waited for his daughter to kick again. "I can't wait to meet her. Have you thought of names? You know the only ones I'm going to be able to think of are things like Amelia and Clara and Zoe and Kaylee, right?"

	Maddy felt another kick then, and she smiled at Joss. "She'll get more active as time goes on, so says my doctor," she said. "But as to that...not really. Kaylee's cute, I also really like Diana. But we've also got 15 more weeks to figure this out, so I'm not stressing quite yet. I'm just making reams of lists and tacking them up around the apartment." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Joss beamed as his daughter moved under his hand. "That's...the best feeling in the entire world," he breathed. "Diana is beautiful," he smiled. "I'm just not good at thinking of names outside my...realm? If Serenity had named Jamie, he'd probably be called Bruce or Clark. The Joker," he said with a silly grin. "Antman."

	Maddy giggled. " My nephew, Antman. Now there's an image. But yeah, when she kicks, I talk to her, and I'm thinking about embracing the cliche and getting some headphones for my stomach. See if it's possible to instill a love of Disney while still in utero." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Joss looked delighted at the very idea of that. "Ooooh, let's do it! But then I'm going to want to name her Elsa or Ariel. It's a good thing you're here to calm me down," he chuckled, leaning in to kiss her. "When would you like to move in? Today? I'm okay with right this second, just so you know."

	aspectabund 2014-11-15 08:02 am UTC (link)
	She laughed. "Hey, Ariel's a great name," she joked. "And yes, I will do my best to be the calm one. Until the hormones take over again, anyway." "But as to that, I'd have to talk to Char first," she went on. "I don't want to just leave her hanging." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We can switch it up, I'm almost sure I can be calm when it counts," he winked. "Oh of course, that makes sense. If she needs time to find a place, we do have an extra room until we need it for a nursery." (Reply to this) (Parent)
