"Oh, I used to love that movie when I was a kid." Johnathan gushed with a grin as he watched Millie re-emerge. "Is it still on?" He asked, gesturing to the living room where he could hear the TV still going. |

"Uh huh, just missed the scene where Todd gets dropped off in the woods." Millie nodded. _________________

"Saddest scene in all Disney history. Mind if I join you?" Johnathan asked. |

"Of course, I was gonna offer." Millie said with a grin before walking on back into the living room. "Make yourself at home." She added after plopping onto the couch. _________________

"Thanks." Johnathan's eyes lit up with excitement as he followed after Millie and gracefully fell back onto the couch with her, settling in while trying to conceal his giddy grin. |

[FF]
The end credits were rolling now, but Millie made no sound or movement other than the slightest of head bobs as her head tilted onto Jonathan's shoulder. She was fast asleep with her hands in her lap and eyes shut; lips parted slightly. _________________

Johnathan hadn't been paying attention to the movie for quite some time now. He found it hard to focus on it once Millie had settled herself at his side, eventually leaning over to rest her head casually at his shoulder. It became only harder to pay attention when he noted that Millie had fallen asleep while leaning on him, her body at ease and her breathing coming out in tired little huffs.
Johnathan had always found the notion of watching someone sleeping a bit...strange, borderline creepy, obsessive behavior, but with Millie sleeping soundly against his frame he felt like he understood now. There was a certain serenity and calm as well a light sense of contentment that that person was three. Just there.
And Johnathan did indeed felt content watching Millie.
He bit back a small smile and fidgeted with his hands just a bit before he hesitantly reached up to gingerly brush back a bit of hair that had fallen into Millie's face. |

Upon having her hair brushed back from her face she let out a tired sigh before shifting closer to Jonathan, throwing an arm around him as she cuddled close. _________________

Johnathan gave a slight jolt of surprise when Millie embraced him in her slumber and nestled close. He felt his cheeks warming up with a heated flush and he pulled back his hand, leaving it to hover just a few inches from Millie's face where his fingers previously had tread. He licked at his lips. a bit and allowed Millie to settle. |

Millie nestled close to his chest, getting settled before resting her head under his chin in the crook of his neck. _________________

It took everything in Johnathan to not react to Millie snuggling impossibly closer, instead, all he did was let out a little sigh and smile just a bit.
He wasn't sure that he could call what feelings he had for Millie "love", but he knew that while she rested against him, with his arm slung about her shoulders, that he definitely felt...something. |

Mina had been drumming her fingers on the foot board of hers and Butch's bed for almost seven minutes now.
Ba'bum, bum, ba'bum, bum...
It couldn't be really possible, or maybe it could? Mina had missed a couple of periods and thought nothing of it until she woke up hours before work and started upchucking. Butch sat by her side on the bathroom floor, holding her hair and rubbing her back like she would do for him during chemo until he had to leave late for work. Of course he refused to leave her and of course she shooed him away in spite of his arguing. She called off work and tried laying down before it dawned on her what it MIGHT be.
It embarrassed Mina a great deal to admit she and Butch had a hard time conceiving children, and it was a leap for Mina after her miscarriage. Granted, it was only one and it was eons ago, she couldn't shake the memory or the pain that came with it. But after Maes had been born, and she and Butch had that big discussion about children...
It was too convenient, and Mina wasn't sure what to think of the possibility. It scared her to death, but if she was would it be wrong to be happy? After making a scene out of it to her husband it just seemed wrong and taboo somehow. But she remembered leaning over Iggy's crib, watching his sleep soundly as she spun his mobile idly. And Millie's first birthday, scooting across the kitchen floor; smacking her face into the birthday cake.
Mina wanted that again, watching something so perfect they made grow up and change.
But with her irrational fear and even more irrational enthusiasm, she decided to buy the most expensive and high tech pregnancy test that Kmart had. Which ended up needing to take the longest. Ten minutes, riding on nine now.
"Only one more minute." Mina said, biting her lip as she laid on her stomach and observed the test; willing it to give her her result. _________________

After tending to Mina earlier in the morning while she sat sick in the bathroom, Butch found that he couldn't focus on his work and punched out early to get back home and fuss over his ill wife. While he was sure that it was just the stomach bug, or a variation of such, he felt that he needed to be there to take care of her in her hour of need as she took care of him in need or not.
On his way home, he took it upon himself to pick up some medicine from the pharmacy, soup, and orange juice, basically all the essential needs for when one was sick and then some. He'd also taken it upon himself to stop by a redbox to get a few pick-me-up movies for his wife, as well as a bouquet of flowers just for the sake of trying to comfort her. These were small gestures, but they were gestures that Butch genuinely hoped would make his wife feel the slightest bit better. He depended on these gestures, and a hefty dose of good old Butch Lovin', something he was famous for in his family's home. Whenever either of his kids were sick, and Mina too of course, he was ever vigilant with tender hugs and tightly knitted embraces. He once stated that these were scientifically proven to work as well as any pharmaceutics drug, and it was believable.
He'd just pulled into the driveway of the Horowitz home and went to collect up all of his things before exiting his vehicle and trotting up to the door, gangly limbs flailing all over the place as he did so. |

Mina's head jerked up upon hearing the engine of Butch's car and the car door slam.
Oh course he's home early. Mina thought, not surprised. In fact, she was disappointed in herself for not expecting it. But what was she to do? Just not say anything, or bring it up and they could both wait anxiously for the result?
She took a deep breath and decided to just wait for Butch. _________________

Butch skillfully opened the front door hands-free, using all the dexterity of a noodle elbow and scrawny hip. He bumped open the door and kicked it swiftly behind him before he made a bee-line for the kitchen to dump everything off but the flowers.
"Mina, I'm home my sweet." He hollered towards the bedroom where he'd left her, assuming that was where she was now. |
