Lionel wasn't really aware of that happening in their world yet. Spontaneous children and all of that. He just knew people griped about weird things happening to them, then paid little mind to it because it didn't concern him. Lionel was horrible when it came to talking about feelings, and it'd taken him this long to really think about how he felt about her, to realize he was that much in love. "Maybe one day...but not right now."
