She skirts a hand over her stomach just in time to catch a kick on her hand. She grimaces slightly--it's hard to get used to that feeling. "Thank you," She says after a moment. "For buying a house."
"Ours." She corrects, wrinkling her nose at him, getting him back for all the corrections he's made to her. "Soon it will be filled with little girl toys, I'm sure."
She smiles serenly. "Children and wives are not troops to be ordered, my dear." She squeezes his hand again. "Don't worry. We won't overrun you. Much."
"Much," he mimics, wrinkling his nose. "I'm going to go order around the realtor some more then. Enjoy yo- our yard."
He squeezes her hand once more and disappears back into the house. But when he finds the realtor it's just to say that he's going to look around the house once more and he heads back upstairs to one of the smaller bedrooms.
He sits down on the floor, in the middle of the room, and imagines a nursery.
She doesn't follow him this time, just moves to the staircase down to the yard and eases herself onto a step, her hand supporting her stomach.
People walk the sidewalks, families taking children out into the yard ot play, a teenager walks a pet while talking animatedly on their comm. An elderly woman sits on her front porch and offers Kira a wave before returning to her knitting.
Kira leans her head against the railing and smiles.
Revan doesn't come back out again until he has the image he was looking for and until he has talked to the realtor again. He finds Kira sitting on the steps.
"They'll draw up the papers and we'll go through the details in a couple of days, but the buyers took the offer," he says as he sits down next to her, patting her leg. And after a few moments, quietly, "I like green and yellow for the girls's room. And a little pink. Y'know, for their bedding and such."
Revan looks at her in mock shock. "You'd eat the father of your children?" But he stands up, holding out his hand to help her up. "C'mon, we'll go grab something."

"Match the selling price," he tries not to snap before waving the realtor away again.

This is the train of thought he has.
"I'm doomed."
