“If you see the kids out there, don’t say anything yet about it.” Irene called after him. |

“Please, I’m not stupid.” Nevandre rolled his eyes and proceeded to give Itene’s face one last squish before heading towards the bathroom.
Just like he’d said, he’d gotten ready relatively quickly. Though he never really ‘aged’ in the traditional sense, his frame had at least filled out a bit. He was never really bulky like his older brother once was, always a knobbier teen more than anything else, but as he got older and normal chores around the cabin and his children required that he more active and allowed him to amass some muscle. He was able to at least fill out one of the flannels lying around. Whether it was his or his late father-in-law’s, he was rarely sure.
He ruffled a hand through his hair, shaking the sleepy mess from it, and returned to the room to find Irene.
“I’m ready whenever you are.” He said to her. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Expecting he’d take longer, Irene had nestled back into the covers, flipping through some junk mail that was on the nightstand. She looked up and tried not to smile, she thought he looked cute wearing her dads flannels. Instead of saying that, she went with, “did you even wash your hair?” She wasn’t being sincere of course. |

“No, I don’t get greasy like some people I know.” Nevandre teased back, going over to pluck the mail from Irene’s hands. “C’mon, let’s grt a move on.” _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Should I get your car seat or do you want to drive?” Irene teased, throwing the blankets off and hopping off the bed. Even though Nevandre was technically older than Irene, teasing him about being a baby would never get old. |

“I’ll drive. I’ll start up the car while you get your walker.” Nevandre said before reaching for Irene’s hand. “Should we go get the test first or get breakfast? You want to just grab food and come home?” _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Lets grab food first and get the test on the way home.” Irene answered. “Maybe I can order off the early bird menus and get a senior discount. You should be okay, kids under nine eat for free.” She said, giving him a quick peck on the cheek for taking his hand. |

“You’re so funny.” Nevandre rolled his eyes, but still smiled at the affection. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

The ride into own was long as it always was, not that it ever bothered Irene; her arm hanging out the window as she sang along to the Fleetwood Mac tape that’s been stuck in the cassette player since she was a kid. It was a beautiful day, sunny but cool, she didn’t have to worry about Lua getting sick running around in that thin dress. The twosome get their breakfast at the little diner in town, Irene got her usual bacon and eggs on sourdough and a glass of chocolate milk; blowing the paper off the straw at her husband across the table.
At the store she grabbed her pregnancy test and a box of prenatals (because she didn’t want to turn around and come back for those). They walked off breakfast and shopped around for any other basics they might’ve needed. In addition Irene found a leather bound notebook that she thought Jackson might like. After pulling into the long dirt driveway, Irene started grabbing bags from the truck bed. |

“Put those down.” Nevandre tsked and swatted at Irene’s teaching hands before pilfering through one of the bags until he found the pregnancy test box. He held it out to her. “I’ll bring everything in, you just go take that test so see if I have to drag that ratty old crib out of storage to put back together.” _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Are you sure? You don’t want it to be a surprise?” Irene teased, accepting the box. |

“No. I don’t want you to be one of those women who don’t even have a clue they’re pregnant until they’re laying towels in the bed ‘just in case’.” Nevandre joked. “I’ll get the bags, you go pee on a stick or whatever.” He repeated. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Irene slipped into the bathroom and followed the appropriate instructions. She checked her watch occasionally to see if two minutes had passed, she clipped her fingernails and reorganized the medicine cabinet while she waited. A little more than the required time had passed before she finally turned it over and read, pregnant. She smiled and dropped it in the wastebasket before exiting to share the big news with Nevandre. |

Nevandre has brought everything in and was in the kitchen, setting to put it all away. He set Jackson’s notebook on the table, figuring Irene would want to give it to him, and was putting away some of the foods they got whe he happened to glance and see Irene. He paused, giving his wife his full attention. He leaned on the counter.
“So... what’s the verdict?” He asked. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Irene smiled.
“I’ll help put the crib back together.” She offered. |
