"To you too!" Astrid laughed as she reached up to loop her arms around Remus's neck as he lifted her up. She nuzzled happily into his shoulder, her cheeks aching from smiling so hard. "Another baby." She sighed, giddy.

“Should I make breakfast, to celebrate? Do you want pancakes?” He asked, setting her back down on her feet. Though everyone should know full well, unlike his brother, Remus was culinary challenged and often burned toast.

"The gesture is sweet, but no thanks. I don't think we have another fire extinguisher after the last incident." Astrid teased playfully, reaching up to squish his cheeks. "Maybe treat us to lunch later after you get some more rest."

"Lunch? Without me?"

Astrid turned to see Lucita entering the room then. Despite having just rolled out of bed, she hardly looked the part. She'd braided her own hair into a neat plait down her back, save for her bangs that she had clipped up out of her face. She was already wearing her uniform, the jacket rumpled as Astrid expected.

"Yes, without you. I told you last night to wait for me to iron your uniform." Astrid scolded as she went over to "pull" the jacket off her daughter's shoulders.

"I don't think anyone but you and Grandpa care about my uniform, Mom. I bet Dad doesn't even care." Lucita said, looking to her dad as she flopped down in a chair at the table. "Right Dad?"

Remus sort of looked around nervously, he didn’t care. He didn’t understand the concept of presentation, in food or in people. “I care about the things your mom cares about. But I’ll save you some lunch for after school.” He nodded.

"If you get to tutoring on time without anymore complaints." Astrid amended as she went over to where Remus had put up the ironing board to toss the jacket for while everything cooked. "Dad suggested pancakes to celebrate. I think that's a good idea." She said as she brushed back by, heading into the kitchen.

"Celebrate?" Lucita quirked a brow.

“Oh do you want me to make those then? Do we tell her?” Remus asked after Astrid, ever unsure of etiquette and anything else.

"Tell me what? Are you guys getting a divorce or something?" Lucita said, mostly joking of course. She knew that her father was sickeningly in love with her mother and her mother reciprocated that.

"If you promise not to burn the pan. It's new." Astrid said before smiling softly. "I suppose there's no time like the present. She's a big girl, she can handle the news."

“You know I can’t promise that...”Remus began, though he did open the appropriate cupboard and pull out a pan, and a big orange mixing bowl for the pancake mix (which he would guess what went in it). He sat them on the counter and paused, crossing his arms as he leaned against the counter and smiled at his daughter. “Well, Moms pregnant.” He announced.

"Wait, what?" Lucita blinked in surprise.

"What Dad said. I'm pregnant." Astrid said, smiling as she went to slide in under her husband's arm at his side. "I just took a test this morning and it was positive. I'm going to set up an appointment with Peter as soon as I can get in." She explained.

"Wait, you're serious? But you told me when I was little that you couldn't give me a younger sibling because you were scared of grandpa." Lucita said, focusing in on Remus.

“And I’m still scared of grandpa. But some things happen for a reason I think, you’re gonna be big sister! Are you excited?” He said, resting his arm around Astrids shoulders.

"I mean, I guess. I probably would have been more excited if you guys told me when I was seven and wanting a little sister." Lucita joked, but then smiled. "But I guess I can be excited and happy for you guys now, nonetheless."

“That’s my girl!” Remus exclaimed with a wide and toothy grin. “It would’ve never happened when you were seven though, your grandpa would’ve eaten me. He still may, so maybe you should be the one to tell him. Maybe it’ll be easier coming from the perfect grandchild.”

"Please, Dad actually gets along better with you than he does with me." Astrid rolled her eyes, which was true enough. Over the years and after everything, Rundin had undeniably grown soft regarding Remus. He even joked with his son-in-law from time to time, though perhaps it was because neither of them had a good taste in comedy. "Either way, I think we should invite Grandma and Grandpa out for dinner and we can tell them then. Once we have our appointment of course."
