*Aimee sat in the dark wood rocking-chair in the still-unfinished nursery, knitting. Yes, knitting. A dark blue cable-knit baby blanket of the softest wool. She made a cliche picture, with her just-barely-obvious bump and the blanket draped over it as she rocked.*

*Marius entered the room, humming a stray tune to himself as he walked up to his wife and kissed her on the cheek*
"And how are you both doing, hmm?"

*Aimee smiled and continued knitting. It turned out she was good at it: far better than her mother ever had been, anyhow.*
"Very well, today." *She said happily.*

"I'm glad to hear that."
*He glanced at what she was working on.*
"You're finishing that fairly quick."

*She shrugged.* "Just a blanket, to go with the color for the w--" *She stopped, frowned, and one hand went to her lower abdomen.*

*His gaze followed the movement of her hand, and a matching frowned appeared on his face*
"What's the matter?"

*The frown gave way to a look of utter surprise, and then a silly grin. Without asking, she grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach. The baby kicked again.*

*The frown immediately gave way to a grin of his own*
"That's fantastic." He said quietly.

*She smiled and rested her head against his chest, placing her hand over his. She giggled when the baby kicked again.*

"Somebody's very active. Are they going to be a handful after they're born?"

*She chuckled.*
"It depends. I was a perfect baby, but I can't speak for whatever traits you've donated." *She teased.*

"Oh, dear. He's going to be a bad actor and talk too much."

"I like it when you talk. Because when you do, I don't have to." *She said, smiling.*

*Smiling, too, he kissed her cheek*
"Well, then you'll have two of us to fill this place with chatter."

"At least we know where the baby will have got it from. Nobody quite knows where I got the hair. Or eyes... or really anything. I'm not much like either of my parents."
