I know you want to say something...

[ Her eyes roaming around the room looking for her wand ]

I'm not saying anything. [He turns to her, pretending to zip his lips before going back to situating the stove.] I'm just making my lovely wife a hamburger and then going back to work.

Yeah, sure....

[ Eyeing the missing wand near the stove and carefully waddling there, ]

I also think you need a small break and you need to eat something. You know we could always share some carrots.

What? [He laughs glancing at her.] The only fault in that plan is we don't have any carrots. You ate them all last night and neither of us have gone out today.

Like we need carrots.

[ With a flick of her wand the mess on the floor finds it way ]

Are you blaming me for eating all of them? If I recall it takes two to make this. [ Pointing to her stomach ]

We evolved past carrots a while ago.

[He says that slyly glancing at her with a wiggling brow before giving a huff.] That was done without the assistance of carrots. Maybe next time. I'm just saying you go on your carrot binges. You finished them up last night, I'll pick some up later.

Well you seem happy for turning me into a waddling penguin. I haven't worn heels in two months, Regulus! I'm not sure how I've survived.

YOU BETTER GET ME CARROTS.

[He quirks a brow partly amused.] I am happy. And you'll remember you're happy about it too when you realize it's not fat it's a baby. It's our baby.

You survived because you'll beautiful no matter what. Maybe more since all I think about is that tiny sugar-addicted genius you have.

[Rolling his eyes, he drops the patties on a skillet before turning to her.] I'll do better. Carrots and strawberries.

Oh yes. Our precious little sugar addicted genius will be perfect. With your brain and my addiction-- We better watch this kid!

[ waddling behind him and wrapping an arm around his waist. ]

Can you pick me up on more thing?

I am already making a dietary chart that contains very little sugar and caffeine. [He grins teasingly.] Maybe we should put you on it.

[He shuffles slightly against the stove before absentmindedly pressing a hand against her stomach.] What is it?

[ raises an eyebrow ]

Me and our baby will not be following that chart.

[ she giggles into his back ]

Get me chocolate.

You say that now, but then they'll be bouncing off walls and talking loudly all day. You'll beg me for it.

[He continues ducking his head before nodding.]

Only if you promise to share.

Oh sweetie. That'll be your problem cause i'll be doing those things with our precious angel.

--S-sure.

So I need to get a bigger house and ensure I'm in an entirely other wing. Check.

...What's that sure, for? You usually eat all the chocolate before I got a bite.

And leave me all alone. I don't think I can take being far from you.

It's a good thing you know me.

Then you'd at least try to follow the dietary plan.

[He makes a face.] No chocolate for me, got it.

..fine...

[ moving to stand beside him instead ]

I would be willing to share. [ wiggling her eyebrows at him ]

[ He yawns in response shaking his head. ]

Unfortunately, I have a paper to finish before tomorrow.

You really shouldn't over work yourself, Regulus. I'm worried about you.

You encouraged me to go to school. I enjoy it, too, being at school and here with you.

You have eyebags under eyebags; you got to school then work then you come home and take of me and still have time to study. I'm proud of you but you also need to rest or one day you'll explode.

We're adults, Iris. It's not like my dad's going to help. You can't work and being at the observatory helps with my studies. Classes are about to be over... So we'll be okay, promise.

I'm sorry. It's just sometimes I miss you and I know we're both busy but I miss us.

I know. That's why I try to make sure we have dinner. Speaking of--

[He shifts to grab some bread before placing the patty on it.] Tah-dah. If you sit down I'll grab you your condiments before making my escape.

Peanut butter, jelly and pickles!

[ She says excitedly before making her way to the table. ]
