Steve was starting to get a little antsy. The days were getting shorter until Michael would be born and he still hadn't even planned the nursery yet. Finding the room was easy enough as they had a sort of suite in the temple. All he had to work on was getting the furniture and painting the room. That would be easy enough. Though he currently stood in the room with some paint swatches he'd found in one of the stores, trying to decide exactly which colors to paint the walls. And he would definitely have to figure out what mural he'd put on one wall, as he'd done with all of his children. Each one had a different mural and this one would be no different. He just hadn't decided just what it would be yet. Getting the wall color figured out would help. He bit his lip as he kept holding the swatches up to the wall.

	"Can't decide?" Micha asked from the doorway, leaning against the frame. She'd been watching him silently for a few moments now and couldn't hide her amusement. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"No." He let out an exasperated sigh. With his enhanced senses, he knew she was there so her voice didn't startle him. He took the swatches over to her. There were varying shades of blue and green. "What do you think?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hmm," Micha studied the swatches in his hands, her own resting on her now substantial middle. "These." She said after a moment, the specific swatches lifting out from the others without being touched. It was a frivolous use of the Force but she didn't feel like taking her hands away.

	Steve smiled and put the other swatches in his back pocket before grabbing the ones she picked. He walked over to the wall and held them up together before nodding. "Perfect." He smiled, the went back over and kissed Micha softly on the lips. "Any ideas for the mural?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She returned the kiss and let one hand move to take hold of Steve's. "He's an energetic child already, so perhaps something peaceful that will help promote sleep when time for that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve squeezed her hand and smiled. "With these colors I could do the whole room like the ocean. Some fish, some coral. That kind of thing. Maybe get Kytana to go take pictures of that Mermaid city for inspiration?" He moved his other hand to rest on her belly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That would be nice. And the archives have pictures of the Mon Calmari homeworld, perhaps they could provide inspiration as well." His hand was guided to a particular spot on her belly, and was rewarded with a kick from a tiny foot from inside. "He's particularly active today." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-11-11 02:52 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds like a great idea." Steve grinned at the kick to his hand and he got down on his knees, kissing her belly softly. "Hey there, you. Giving your mom a hard time already?" He smiled up at Micha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Micha shook her head with a smile. He'd been just as ridiculous when she'd carried Kytana, though then she hadn't quite been sure how to respond to it. "He certainly is, though it means he's alive and healthy so I can't complain." She could sense him through the Force, but it was reassuring to have the physical confirmation through his movements.

	He'd been that way with all of his children, it was just something that he did. Steve kissed her belly once more before getting to his feet again. "Alive and healthy is definitely the preferred state." He kissed her cheek. "Any preferences on furniture color? I found this great dark cherry set in one of the stores." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genepunk 2015-11-16 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Not particularly." It honestly didn't matter to her. As long as it met their needs and Steve was happy with it then it was fine with her. "If you think it will mesh with what we already have then that should work." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'll paint first and then see how it looks." He smiled. "The dark color might end up clashing with the o Ean theme." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Of course. It wouldn't do to have the furniture clash with the paint on the walls." She was teasing him just a bit, Micha knew it would bother her almost as much as it would bother him. Jedi simplicity or not, she knew what she liked.

"Has Kytana talked with you at all about being a big sister?" Their daughter had Steve wrapped around her fingers, and the two had a closer relationship in this time than between her and Micha.

	"There are a few options." He nodded, then walked over to the wall, looking at the texture. "Not since I first told her, no." He shook his head. "She seemed pretty excited, though. She still says that he's actually her older brother because he's technically being born before her." He chuckled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I trust you." She followed him and rested her head on his shoulder. "How very literal minded of her." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-11-22 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	Steve slid his arm around her and smiled. "Well, she is your daughter." He chuckled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not that bad!" Micha protested, using the Force to goose him lightly in retaliation for the joke. "I'm a Jedi. not a robot." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-11-25 09:03 am UTC (link)
	Steve jumped a little and looked at her. "That's extremely unfair, you know that right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genepunk 2015-11-25 01:37 pm UTC (link)
	Micha smirked at him. "I do, but you love me anyway." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-01 04:33 am UTC (link)
	"That I do." He kissed her softly on the lips. "And speaking of that.....we haven't even talked about a date yet." He took her left hand in his. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"When doesn't matter to me," Micha replied, squeezing his hand in return. "It would be nice to have an outdoor ceremony in the temple gardens though, so in the spring?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-03 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	"And I'm pretty sure you don't want to wear a maternity wedding dress." He smirked. "How about early May?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genepunk 2015-12-03 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I had to, but yes." Micha smirked in return and nodded her agreement. "May will be lovely." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-04 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"You'll look gorgeous no matter what you wear." He kissed her cheek. "At least now we've got it narrowed down to a month. We can talk more about the exact date a little later." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genepunk 2015-12-04 12:32 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds like an excellent idea." Micha smiled back at him and let her hand slip out of his after giving one final squeeze. "How about something to eat?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	threecenturyman 2015-12-04 12:36 am UTC (link)
	"You know me, I can always eat." He chuckled. Even as long as he'd been on the island, he still didn't eat as often as he should have with his metabolism, but he never turned down food when offered. (Reply to this) (Parent)
