[ ajsdkfds before, p. y. (pre-yancy). ]
Or you could buy me diamonds. I heard that's still a popular trend in America.
[ for the father to buy the mother presents because she has a baby. get it mako. because he's totally the mom and you're totally the dad. wow, raleigh thinks he's hilarious. ]

[ and since when does raleigh disobey a direct order?
...always. the answer is always. but while he procrastinates and putters around doing all sorts of things while mako puts their kid to bed, he's in and out of the shower by the time she's done, lounging on their bed and reading a news paper. he feels a lot like a dad right now (like his dad, maybe) and kinda loves it, can't wait for yancy to grow up so maybe he's just not quite as tired of a dad, but loving his younger years as well.
then when mako inevitably joins him, he puts down the section calling for everyone to put up flags in memory of k-day and stretches on the bed. ]
Did you tell me to shower because I stank? I personally think our carpet smells worse, and we should probably get it shampooed.

[ Raleigh is the poster boy of disobedience, really -- if he didn't look so clean-cut All-American Boy, he'd be heading up a motorcycle gang somewhere.
Mako's coming in, looking forward to settling in for the night when she unbuttons her shirt and eases out of her skirt, getting undressed and looking forward to get into the shower. Innocently, she looks back at him, reaching for the towel she hangs by the dresser -- it's all so sweetly domestic, and the contrast of remembering K-day and their newfound life isn't lost on her. ]
Were you brooding over that? [ She was actually hoping that she could just hop into the shower when she comes back instead of waiting around for him. But she's smiling when she steps into the shower -- shutting the glass door but not the main one, so they can still hear each other. ] Yancy defecated on it one too many times. How about we just get a new one?

[ Actually it's more like ten months but anyway. Pregnancy sex is hot. AND NO ONE CAN REPRODUCE ASEXUALLY. ]
We're not eating that. [ because gross and mako likes her chips ungummed and crispy and full of salt and spice. ]Can we get the sweet chili chips?

[ This is what it's all about, the warmth of home and family and love, and she's cuddling up to their now dry baby with a wet patch on her silk blouse but Mako really, really doesn't care right now because Yancy's giving her sloppy kisses and she's not about to resist.
And Raleigh, Raleigh's a hot, sexy, wet mess and she's reaching out to ruffle Raleigh's hair, too. ]
And look, you drenched Daddy.

[ Mako's tidying up the house when he comes home, significantly less unhappy but still quite under the weather, and she doesn't blame him -- it really was a bad day, and a part of her feels guilty that she hadn't come home sooner to relieve him.
So she does her best and cleans up while he's gone, setting the clean dishes back onto the board and folding the clothes -- things Raleigh usually does because Mako's usually dead tired when she comes home.
She sets the stack of magazines straight on the coffee table before she goes over and wraps her arms around him. He can complain all he wants, she'll listen. ]
No, it didn't. To be fair, nothing will have prepared you for that.

[ somewhere in charming, california to be exact...
he appreciates her little strip tease, even if it's not overtly sexual. he's watching her at least, and smiling until she insinuates that he lets their child shit all over the carpet. ]
I can fasten a diaper, [ he scowls. but it's raleigh, he can't keep a scowl on his face when it's mako. ] It's more spit up and spilt milk and spilt juice. Maybe we should get something that isn't white. [ white which is no longer white. ]

[ mako is a saint and awesome and raleigh adores her, but he's still fussy. the wrapping of his arms around mako's shoulders in return comes belatedly, and with a sigh. but he doesn't spill coffee on her or anything, and he squeezes her like he needs to reaffirm that he's not mad at her, or even at yancy. it's not his fault he's ridiculously dependent on his binkie, it's theirs for not weening him off it. ]
I can't exactly blast our baby with a plasma canon, or use him to build a wall.
[ .......raleigh.
don't compare your baby to the tools of your other trade, it doesn't sound healthy. ]

[ at this point, raleigh is the saint, barring the whole comparing his baby to the tools of his other trade thing. Sometimes Mako forgets what he deals with at home, how he works to keep everything together while she brings home the bacon, and she only pauses to give him a lazy look of reproach. ]
No, you can't. [ But even then it's half-hearted at best, and she's cuddling into his embrace, feeling him squeeze her and heartened that the affection is returned. She doesn't like when he's angry with her, rare as it is. She tiptoes to kiss his cheek. ]
But maybe you should take a little break. Let me take care of him for awhile?
