Who: Dan and Laurie
Where: Their home
What: Kicking babies.
Warning: Not yet. :)

Laurie was all smiles as she slipped down the stairs to the basement on padded feet, doing her best to stay quiet. It was almost always a sure bet she'd find him down here if he wasn't around, and she enjoyed watching him tinker - she didn't know anyone else who could take what looked like a pile of junk and turn it into such fun tools, or had such fun doing it.

Moving closer, she stepped up behind him, sliding her arms around his waist as she leaned her head in to press against the back of his shoulder. "Busy? I've something to show you..." There was a bit of humor in her voice... she had the suspicion that he'd be willing to drop whatever he was doing for what she was about to show him.

Face lightly smudged with grease, Dan picked up a screwdriver to pull the panel loose on some sort of box he'd been working on, moving on to pull three wires out. Next came the sautering tool as he nudged his glasses up his nose and leaned in close, a small crackling sound emitting from where he sautered the three wires together at their ends and stuffed them back inside, smiling with pride in his work.

His body tensed at first when she'd snuck up on him (and how she managed to was beyond him) then soon relaxed into her warm embrace. Tilting his head, he glanced back at her as he began to put the panel back on the box. "Oh, no...I was just trying something out." Putting his tools down, he turned around and gave her a small kiss to the lips. "What do you need to show me?"

"Oh? It's a.... lovely box you're working on there." Laurie just smiled - she didn't even bother pretending she understood half of what he did. Living with Jon had been enough to teach her to smile and nod whenever there were technicalities.

Threading her fingers through his, she turned in his arms, pressing her back against his chest and nestling in. with his palm against her abdomen, she moved it slightly until it was in just the right position, and pressed down, her hand over his. "Give it a moment..."

He knew she was just humoring him and his tinkering, and there were times when he wished she understood the things he loved to do, but that wasn't part of why he loved her so much. His arms loosened as she turned around in them as he rested his chin on her shoulder, their joined hands pressing against her baby bump. He'd grown accustomed to rubbing it at night just before he fell asleep, wondering just what they were going to have.

"I don't feel anythi--oh," he said as a grin spread across his face as he peered over her shoulder. He pressed his hand there for another minute, and he felt the kick again, grinning even more brightly.

She laughed at his expression when he felt it, moving his hand lightly to follow the kicks as they moved a bit to the side. It really was the weirdest feeling, like butterflies struggling to get out, but it was definitely a kick.

Ignoring the smudges of grease on him she tilted her head back, brushing kisses against his cheek. "Feels like someone's already ready to fight crime."

He could feel the blush creeping into his cheeks as her lips touched his skin. Dan couldn't resist a feeling of pride at the idea of another generation of superhero created between the two of them, a son or daughter born and raised in the lifestyle. Then again Dan could see himself wanting to settle down from that kind of life and raising his family.

But he knew deep down, Laurie would never go for it. Ultimately, Dan would do whatever Laurie wanted when it came to that because he knew he needed that excitement just as much as she did.

Tilting his head, he placed a kiss to her lips, nuzzling her as one arm wrapped around her upper half as his hand felt their little one kicking again. "Do you hope it's a boy or girl?"

It was funny, in a way - not long ago, she had been perfectly content to have given up all manner of crime fighting, pleased to have those days behind her. Dan had made her want to give it another go, and now she couldn't imagine not doing it... at least, she wasn't ready to hang up her boots quite yet.

She leaned back in his arms, utterly content in his embrace .Taking a moment to think about his question, she hummed thoughtfully, a slow smile coming to her face. "Oh, I can see you now... your little girl getting ready to patrol, dressed in spandex..." She was sure that'd go over so well - she got the feeling he'd think a little differently than her mother had about such a revealing outfit. "I'll be happy with either, but I think I'd like a little boy, to take after his daddy."

The smile drifted into a frown at the mere mention of a daughter dressing in such revealing clothing. He remembered when Laurie was a teenaged girl wearing that and even then he'd thought she was woefully underdressed though he'd caught himself on more than one occasion staring at her longingly at the first meeting of the Watchmen and other subsequent meet-ups.

Dan smiled, seeming almost shy at the thought of a son. "I don't even think my dad ever believed I'd have kids of my own. I was always building things, had my head in books."

"Well, having kids is kind of like building things, right? All those little cells replicating themselves into something that somehow turns into a baby. Except this time I'm doing the hard work, and you get to ooh and ahh over the finished product."

Grinning, she left his hand to feel the kicks, her arms snaking up around behind her to drape around his neck. It stretched out her back, garnering a light moan.

"Well, there was that little thing about me never meeting girls that added into that belief of his," he said with a smile. Which was true. Until Laurie, Dan didn't have very much experience with the opposite sex, and even she was a bit too much to handle at first.

"Hey, now. Wait until after it's born. I'll be the one probably crawling out of bed at all ours of the night when it cries." Which was most likely since Dan tended to be much more nocturnal than Laurie. He let a hand trail up her body to a breast, just because he couldn't ever resist the sound of her moans. He cleared his throat as he gave it a tender squeeze, "You want to, um, get out of here...go upstairs?" He could just feel the blush run down his neck at the suggestion and no matter how many times they had sex, Dan's shy side always had a way of shining through.

"That just makes me the lucky girl you finally met." Laughing, she tilted her head back as he talked about midnight feedings. "Possibly. You'll still need to wake me to feed him."

Laurie gasped lightly as she felt his hand sliding up to cup her sensitive breast, smile widening as he stumbled over his words. smiling slowly, she trailed her tongue across her lips, finding his blush just too cute. "What do you want to do upstairs?" She knew, ofcourse She just wanted to hear him say it.

"No, it makes me the luckiest man in the world that you picked me," he said, his hands moving along her body, feeling the baby kick against his hand once more.

The blush deepened, "Are you really going to make me say it?" his lips pouting as he gave her that patented puppy dog expression. But he knew she would. She did love making him squirm. Nuzzling against her neck, he pushed her hair back, nibbling lightly on her earlobe. "I want to take you upstairs and ravish you," he whispered in her ear.
