(He was carrying a 50 pound bag of dog food, and cursing his beloved dobermans all the way upp the stairs. As he got into the aparment, he was almost knocked off his feet by two of them, the bag being left by the door as he shut it. Keiko, as usual was sitting by the hallway patiently waiting while Kaya and the pup Sita were swarming Rico.) (NT) -- Rico, 23:35:58 05/11/02 Sat
She couldn't help but grin at the chaos they lived in. Kaya was barking at Rico for the food, Sita barking for attention, Keiko watching Niko with a protecting eye...and Nikp yelling for his daddy now. With a smirk she crosses her arms, waiting for him to get settled. (NT) -- Jewel, 23:38:34 05/11/02 Sat
(Thankfully, Kaya and Sita ran off to play after he'd patted their heads and shoed them off.. Picking up the toddler at his ankles, he smiled.) Aye Que Nino.. (He murmered, kissing the two cheeks and smiling at the nonsensical spanish jabber coming out of Niko's mouth. His eyes moved to his wife, and love filled them as he walked towards her, kissing her cheek softly.) Mi Amore.. (NT) -- Rico, 23:45:19 05/11/02 Sat
She smiles gently, though it was obvious something was up, she was antsy, shifting from time to time. "How was your day?" (NT) -- Jewel, 23:47:12 05/11/02 Sat
(He shrugs.) Okay, a little tiring. (He'd had his third in a series of major surgeries only two weeks prior, and he still tended to turn his head slightly when people spoke, and he read lips more often than not.) Yours wasnt so tiring, whats wrong? (NT) -- Rico, 23:52:06 05/11/02 Sat
She shakes her head, her dark eyes moving to their son. "I think we should wait till he goes to bed to talk about it." She offers a small smile, to let him know he wasn't in trouble, before she grinned at Niko, moving to oblige his request for a snack. (NT) -- Jewel, 23:53:34 05/11/02 Sat
(His brow furrows, hoping that Niko would take his nap soon, he didnt like her anxious actions. Niko babbles on excitedly about what Sita did earlier, but he wasnt listening.) (NT) -- Rico, 23:56:26 05/11/02 Sat
She puts down a paper plate with apple slices covering it onto the table. "Come on Niko, sit up here." She helps him up,smiling at his quick "Gracias" before he started eating. (NT) -- Jewel, 23:58:08 05/11/02 Sat
(He crosses his arms over his chest, eyeing her furtively, he was trying to figure her out. Opting out, he walks into the kiitchen to get his meds and a bottle of water.) (NT) -- Rico, 00:01:14 05/12/02 Sun
With a sigh, and a furrowed brow she moves after him, not wanting to fight right now. Her arms move around him from behind, her head laying on his back. (NT) -- Jewel, 00:03:48 05/12/02 Sun
(He sighs, though he'd been a little startled, he didnt admit just how much of his hearing he lacked, it wasnt in him to complain.) You'll tell me everything, right? (NT) -- Rico, 00:13:11 05/12/02 Sun
She nods against his back, not bothering to speak. She was nervous about talking to him, but it was something huge, and it needed to be discussed... She smiles slightly, turning so that she was in front of him. "Niko is trying to train Sita, like you work with Keiko, he just mimics everything you do." (NT) -- Jewel, 00:15:07 05/12/02 Sun
(His eyes travel to his son, he was a spitfire, that was for sure.) His spanish is getting better too. (NT) -- Rico, 00:18:47 05/12/02 Sun
She nods before moving back over to the little boy, kneeling in front of him and wiping off his hands as she spoke. "How about you and Sita head upstairs for your nap? As long as your quiet you can play for a little while." She had taken to mothering fairly well, though it had been a adjustment at first. (NT) -- Jewel, 00:20:26 05/12/02 Sun
(He watched lovingly, she was so good with that child, and after a rough start, their little miracle had turned out to be a great child.) Buenos noches, nino. (He says softly, liking the childs attempt at returnig the words, only he said dada in english like jewel had taught him.) (NT) -- Rico, 00:22:23 05/12/02 Sun
She led him to the stairs, watching him go up and waiting to hear the click of the door before she let out a deep breath, looking back towards Rico. (NT) -- Jewel, 00:24:05 05/12/02 Sun
(He was leaning against the wall, his weight on his left foot, his defensive position - he didnt know if he was in trouble or not.) (NT) -- Rico, 00:24:56 05/12/02 Sun
She bites her lip, silent for a long moment. "I'm over 2 months late Rico." Her eyes move to him, they weren't supposed to be able to get pregnant, and that seemed like the most logical explanation for missed periods, for the hormonal spells... (NT) -- Jewel, 00:27:27 05/12/02 Sun
(He turned his head slightly, his eyes confused, had he read her lips right?) Could you say that again? (NT) -- Rico, 00:28:27 05/12/02 Sun
She shifts again, running her tongue across her lips for a second before repeating. "I'm over two months late." (NT) -- Jewel, 00:29:45 05/12/02 Sun
(He had read right.) Okay... (He didnt know what to do.. didnt they say he was sterile? This wasnt supposed to be possible.. Then he smirked - one of his little guys had made it.. he had a little self pride thing going on.) (NT) -- Rico, 00:31:56 05/12/02 Sun
She nods, not sure what to say either. "Ok then...thats..all." (NT) -- Jewel, 00:33:14 05/12/02 Sun
(He nods.) It cant be a bad thing, are you okay with it? (He looks towards the stairs.) Niko's old enough. (NT) -- Rico, 00:35:37 05/12/02 Sun
A small smile crossed her lips as she spoke. "I am..excited..I think. And shocked still..I never thought this would happen." (NT) -- Jewel, 00:37:00 05/12/02 Sun
(He smiled finally.) We could have a child of our own.. really ours. (NT) -- Rico, 00:40:11 05/12/02 Sun
The smile grew as it all sank in to her. "Rico...we've waited for so long for this.." (NT) -- Jewel, 00:42:20 05/12/02 Sun
(He nods.. stepping closer to her, then smiling.) You think its really true? (He was getting excited.) (NT) -- Niko, 00:44:57 05/12/02 Sun
"I was talking to Bailey about how she knew she was pregnant...I have all the signs..." She grins. (NT) -- Jewel, 00:45:59 05/12/02 Sun
(He laughs happily, picking her up and turning her around, kissing her.) I sure hope so.. (NT) -- Rico, 00:47:10 05/12/02 Sun
She laughs with him, her arms going around his neck, her eyes sparkling. She was literally glowing now that he knew to. "Me too..even though this whole throwning up thing is already old." (NT) -- Jewel, 00:49:03 05/12/02 Sun
(He frowns instantly protective, the way he was, insanely so.) Everything's normal though, right? Are you eating enough? (He was looking her over, his hands at her sides.) (NT) -- Rico, 00:51:52 05/12/02 Sun
She nods, before her brow furrows. "Well..I am pretty sure...I haven't gone to the doctors yet." (NT) -- Jewel, 00:54:04 05/12/02 Sun
(He looked instantly worried.) Well you should get an appointment in the morning, just to be safe.. I'll go with you if you want. (NT) -- Rico, 00:56:09 05/12/02 Sun
She smiles, trailing a hand down his cheek. "I'd like that...I want you there.." (NT) -- Jewel, 00:58:17 05/12/02 Sun
(He smiled, kissing her again.) I'm so happy for you, for us.. (He was excited.. too excited. ) It will be good for Niko too. (NT) -- Rico, 00:59:03 05/12/02 Sun
She nods, smiling. "I know...we'll have a even more perfect family." (NT) -- Jewel, 01:00:25 05/12/02 Sun
(He smiles.) Couldnt be any more perfect. (He couldnt stop smiling.. it seemed life was always getting better as his health got worse.) (NT) -- Rico, 01:01:21 05/12/02 Sun
She smiles before her brow furrows. "How are you feeling?" (NT) -- Jewel, 01:05:48 05/12/02 Sun
(His brow raises.) What do you mean? I feel fine. (Did she have a mind reading tool or something? It was getting annoying.) (NT) -- Rico, 01:08:31 05/12/02 Sun
She raises a brow, but doesn't comment, merely leans up, kissing his cheek. (NT) -- Jewel, 01:09:50 05/12/02 Sun
(He smiled softly, leaving it at that. He could keep having the painful surgeries, if only to hear his kid talk once in a while, it was worth it.) (NT) -- Rico, 01:11:40 05/12/02 Sun
She sighs gently, running a hand over the side of his neck before clearing her throat, she'd get emotional, she always did when they were discussing all the pain he had to deal with constantly. "What do you want for dinner?" (NT) -- Jewel, 12:19:08 05/12/02 Sun
(The familiar glint entered his eyes at her question.. her questions tended to be open ended. He shrugs, wandering into the kitchen and rummaging a little.) I'm not so hungry.. (NT) -- Rico, 21:11:29 05/12/02 Sun
She nods slowly, a little distracted, her hand playing on her stomache. "Ok." (NT) -- Jewel, 21:16:18 05/12/02 Sun
(He straightens.) I spoke to Shaun today.. (He fingers his hair absently, picking up a can of soda and crossing into the living room to his favorite recliner.) (NT) -- Rico, 21:19:38 05/12/02 Sun
She focuses her wandering mind, moving to settle on his lap. "Oh? whats up with him?" (NT) -- Jewel, 21:22:35 05/12/02 Sun
(He shrugs.) He wants us to take Bryan for the weekend, he's taking Bailey someplace romantic. (He scrunches his nose.) I didnt fish for the mushy details. (He smiles, Bryan and Niko were the same age, and good friends so they wouldnt have too many problems.) (NT) -- Rico, 21:24:25 05/12/02 Sun
She laughs lightly, nodding. "Thats sweet, I don't mind taking him, do you?" (NT) -- Jewel, 21:27:12 05/12/02 Sun
(He shrugs.) He's a good kid, and I love Shaun getting mad when he cant understand the spanish words Bryan picks up here. (NT) -- Rico, 21:31:19 05/12/02 Sun
She laughs gently, nodding. "Niko's a good influence on him, that kid needs to lighten up and play sometimes." (NT) -- Jewel, 21:32:50 05/12/02 Sun
(He nods.) Niko needs to not act like a dork all the time too. (He grins.. that boy had his moments.) (NT) -- Rico, 21:34:37 05/12/02 Sun
She slaps his arm playfully, laughing. "He's not a dork! Don't call him a dork!" (NT) -- Jewel, 21:42:53 05/12/02 Sun
Lo Siento.. (He laughs lightly with her, his hand going to his arm.) I could have said he was like his ma. (He narrows his eyes playfully, his spanish side acting out tonight.) (NT) -- Rico, 21:44:08 05/12/02 Sun
She sticks out her tongue. "Then that would be true, he's beautiful, and charming, and all around likeable." (NT) -- Jewel, 21:47:34 05/12/02 Sun
(His hand runs over her neck lightly, pulling her closer so he could kiss her.) Beautful I agree with.. (He kisses her cheek.) Charming.. sometimes.. (Then he kisses her lips again.) but I dont know about all around likable.. (NT) -- Rico, 21:53:41 05/12/02 Sun
She huffs. "You don't think I am likeable?" (NT) -- Jewel, 21:58:05 05/12/02 Sun
(He smiles.) No, you're lovable. (He lets his fingers play at her sides, his eyes affectionate.) (NT) -- Rico, 21:59:52 05/12/02 Sun
Another light laugh escapes her before her hand moves to her stomache again, she was still amazed. "Boy or girl?" (NT) -- Jewel, 22:02:47 05/12/02 Sun
(He smiles.) It doesnt matter.. it will be loved no matter what. (thats why he found it so easy to accept another child.) (NT) -- Rico, 22:06:06 05/12/02 Sun
"Aw, you have to have some kind of preferance..." (NT) -- Jewel, 22:09:40 05/12/02 Sun
(He thinks..) I suppose it would be nice to have a girl.. you females are kind of outnumbered. (NT) -- Rico, 22:10:54 05/12/02 Sun
"I know, me and Katya are all alone." She pouts lightly, running a hand over his chest. (NT) -- Jewel, 22:15:18 05/12/02 Sun
(He smiles.) In a couple weeks Sita will join you.. (He tilts his head, the pup was a dud and would be fixed in a couple weeks.) (NT) -- Rico, 22:41:51 05/12/02 Sun
She shakes her head. "That doesn't make him a girl! Just..a nicer boy." She grins lightly. (NT) -- Jewel, 22:45:45 05/12/02 Sun
(He smirks.) It makes him an it. (He sighs comfortably, letting a moment pass..) Do you remember back six years ago when we first met.. did you ever think we would be here, right now? (NT) -- Rico, 22:47:23 05/12/02 Sun
For a moment she just let the six years ago sink in. "I can't believe it's been that long..." Her gaze moved up to him, smiling. "No..our life is definately something I never expected..it's far beyond what I dreamed." (NT) -- Jewel, 22:48:59 05/12/02 Sun
(He nods.) Same here. (He smiles right back at her.) It took me so long to find you, but I'm glad I waited. (NT) -- Rico, 22:49:58 05/12/02 Sun
She smiles, kissing him briefly. "Me too..." Her hand moves over his shaggy hair before she lays her head on his shoulder. (NT) -- Jewel, 22:51:42 05/12/02 Sun
(He held her for a moment, just content to be there with her, their son sleeping upstairs, and a new child sleeping inside her. It was comforting to him.) (NT) -- Rico, 22:53:06 05/12/02 Sun
She never tired of times like these, it was rare that got a chance to so completely relax... (NT) -- Jewel, 22:55:16 05/12/02 Sun
(He was thinking about work, about his early retirement and the pack of money he was suing the government for - that Jewel didnt know about yet - but would have them set for the rest of whatever was ahead of them.. it was more comfort to him, and made him smirk a little ruefully.) (NT) -- Rico, 22:57:19 05/12/02 Sun
She kisses the scar on his neck lightly before her eyes closed, just cuddling with her husband. She loved it. It made her sad sometimes, that they had been married for some time now, and yet her family had no idea, and she had still never met, or talked to his. (NT) -- Jewel, 22:59:25 05/12/02 Sun
(His hand moved absently up and down her side as he smirked away, thinking of things. In less than a year he would be retired from his work, totally free of the goverment crutch.) I was thinking maybe it was our turn to take a vacation.. let Shaun and Bailey watch Niko. (NT) -- Rico, 23:01:20 05/12/02 Sun
She looks, her expression bright. "Really? I would love that." Her brow furrows. "We should go before I get fat though." (NT) -- Jewel, 23:06:10 05/12/02 Sun
(He rolls his eyes.) You wont get fat, you'll still be you.. just with a child in there.. (He puts his hand on her stomach.) I was thinking in a couple months.. when I get off work. (NT) -- Rico, 23:08:52 05/12/02 Sun
She nods. "Mhm, I will. Pregnant women get fat along with the baby." Her brow raises. "Are you taking a leave?" (NT) -- Jewel, 23:11:40 05/12/02 Sun
Not all pregnant women get fat, and who cares if you do. (He shakes his head.) I'm retiring. (NT) -- Rico, 23:13:43 05/12/02 Sun
She was about to open her mouth and say something about the fat comment before it snapped shut again, just looking at him. (NT) -- Jewel, 23:17:50 05/12/02 Sun
