When: Wednesday evening
Where: Anthony's place
Warnings: Discussion of pregnancy

This was all new territory for Anthony. He'd been halfway convinced Darerca was yanking his chain when she proposed they have a baby together, but something told him she wasn't. She wouldn't joke about something like that.

That realization segued nicely into uncertainty. He'd never been a father, even when he was mortal. He'd gone straight into the priesthood, and that sort of thing definitely hadn't been allowed. The thing was, though...he'd always wondered what it might have been like to have a family. What life might have been like if he hadn't felt God's hand on him. And now he was being offered the chance to find out.

He'd invited Darerca over for dinner, if nothing else because it would give him something to occupy the time. And not to toot his own horn, but he was a pretty good cook. Bruschetta was crisping in the oven, and he'd gathered everything he'd need to make shrimp scampi. It was a tasty dish, and thankfully fairly easy to assemble.

The door had been left unlocked so Darerca could let herself in when she arrived, but for now, he made sauce, kept a watchful eyes on his noodles, and listened for her arrival.

	Darerca did let herself in, grinning at the sight of her boyfriend being all domestic and adorable. "Anthony!" she said, bouncing over to him. "That smells incredible!" (Reply to this) (Thread)

Anthony had been in the middle of tasting his sauce when Darerca walked in, but he still smiled at her around his spoon. "Why thank you," he replied, setting it in the sink for later clean up. "I thought I'd go back to my roots. Well. More or less. In all honesty, I just really like shrimp in my pasta, I hope you're alright with that."

"Anyway," he continued, coming over to kiss Darerca hello. "Come in, come in, you look amazing, as always. Would you like some wine?"

	"I am very alright with that," she grinned, the expression growing when he kissed her. "And I would love some wine! How was your day? Find anything lost?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
