*They'd forgotten to close the drapes, the night before, and it's the blindingly bright sunlight pooling on the white bedlinens that wakes Nymphadora. She stirs slowly, eyes blinking, and stretches against the sheet tangled around her waist.*

*That's no sheet!

It's a LANDSHARK. :O

Well, no.

But there's a person half-sprawled on top of her who might be impeding her movements slightly.

His face is mostly buried in a pillow, so he hasn't noticed the brightness yet.*

[clumsy_auror]

*Well, she didn't really want to get up yet, anyway. Good thing.

With a crooked grin, Nymphadora rolls towards Bernard a bit and presses a kiss to his cheek.*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Mmf.

*Bernard pulls her closer and kisses her neck, still pretty well asleep. His hand drifts down to her belly, thumb moving in a slow, circular motion.*

[clumsy_auror]

*Her smile widens at the feel of his hand on her skin, and she lets her toes drift up and down the side of his leg.

The bedside clock reads 11:14.*

*Amazing.

No toddler.

No dog.

No fucking demon bunny.

Before this trip, how many months went by with no real lie-ins?

There's a soft, sleepy moan, and Bernard's eyes slit open, unseeing, then close against the sun.*

[clumsy_auror]

*Nymphadora curls closer still, intent on going back to sleep for a little while longer, when there's a stirring in her belly. It's still not quite kicking, yet, but it's unmistakable, all the same.*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*...Is there a demon bunny in the bed?

This and questions like it, are running through Bernard's head as he warily opens his eyes.*

'Dora?

[clumsy_auror]

*She's shifting, trying to get more comfortable.*

Yeah?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He rubs an eye.*

Either Hiss stowed away just to terrorize me on my honeymoon, or Anthony just kicked me in the gut.

[clumsy_auror]

*a soft laugh*

Oh, no, from what I understand, this is nothing... another couple of months, you'll actually be able to see him kicking.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He snickers into her hair.*

It'll be like that alien movie you told me about.

[clumsy_auror]

...Oh thanks, that makes me really excited.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

...You mean he won't burst fully-formed from your sternum to devour Ellie?

I think you gave me the wrong books.

[clumsy_auror]

*And smack goes her pillow, right in the kisser.*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Hey. He's gonna need that.*

I'm so disappointed! First you say no monkeys, and now no aliens either!

*It should be noted that he can barely speak for laughing at her.*

[clumsy_auror]

*She's laughing too, but gives him another whack for good measure.*

You are so lucky you're cute.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

I know; surely you would have had me taken care of by now if that weren't the case.

[clumsy_auror]

Mmm-hmm. I know a former turtle who would've iced you for me, if I'd asked.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

No, indeed; you didn't know I'm part of the Family now? I even have a special codename and everything.

If you're lucky, we'll let you into our treehouse.

[clumsy_auror]

...So what's your codename, then?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He starts to snicker again.*

Diego.

[clumsy_auror]

*She blinks, and then it clicks.*


...Well of course you are.

Does this mean you're going to call me Kahlo, from now?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Only if you want me to, Tits.

[clumsy_auror]

*She laughs and tips his chin up, kissing him softly.*

Think you know which one I prefer.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Mmm-hmm.

*He kisses her again and lets his hand skate up her side to her breast.*

And it's so fitting.
