No one got out alive, [ raleigh tells her dramatically, though by alive he means dry. he's got a sweater on, rolled up to the elbows and utterly soaked because yancy loves to splash, he thinks it's funny. ]
You're getting Mama wet, kiddo, [ he announces, and sort of scoops yancy out of mako's arms just long enough to wrap him in a towl and dump him back at her. ]
[ 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. ]
Daddy's gonna live, he was sort of asking for it with the rubber duckies.
[ raleigh is resigned to his fate and loves his life. he's grinning, even when she ruffles his hair like a dog (it's how mako mori shows affection, and it isn't nearly as demeaning as he'd once thought), and brushes the penguin bill of the colorful bath towel over yancy's face, which makes the child squeal with delight. ]
[ The mental image makes her smile widen, because she can imagine the chaos once the rubber duckies were introduced. Yancy's making grabs for the towel now, squealing and laughing, and Mako shakes her head. It's moments like these she loves, the delightfully mundane, the sweetly domestic, and she bounces her little boy, kissing his cheek once the towel's done its job. ]
I'll get him dressed; he's done enough damage to you for the day.
[ And besides, it lets Raleigh have some time for himself and allows Mako to spend time with Yancy. She heads into Yancy's nursery, and it's easy enough to get him dressed and settled in to nurse. She shifts her blouse, heavy and bloated and ready for her son, and soon enough, he's latched onto her breast, contentedly suckling. ]
[ raleigh is a-okay with this division of labor. he also has to make dinner (order pizza) and there was a load of sopping wet laundry that has yet to get into the dryer, so he's going to let mako nurse while he orders their half-cheese half-pepperoni usual and puts their towels in on the "cotton - high" setting.
he lounges in the kitchen for a little bit before deciding she's probably had plenty of time to get yancy dressed, especially considering he doesn't hear the shrieking of a temper tantrum upstairs. so raleigh fishes out two beers from the fridge and trumps upstairs to offer her one, but when he walks into the nursery and sees her nursing he realizes he should probably back up. or, like, regroup here. ]
Eh, I suppose I can drink both.
[ while sitting cross legged between yancy's blocks and stuffed dog, and smiling at the two of them. look at these fucking cuties. ]
[ Mako laughs -- good call, babe; she'd have to refuse the beers anyway. Mako stays the hell away from even coffee when she's nursing, because the last time she had coffee and breastfed Yancy, the boy was bouncing off the walls the entire night.
But Mako's looking forward to the pizza; she's hungry and right now she can eat her bodyweight in food, and she's pleased that Raleigh's here too, at least he can make things less boring. Look at the adorable way Raleigh's grinning at them. She beams at him, amused. ]
How did it taste? I always thought it looked... dubiously orange.
[ yeah, okay, he'd eaten his fair spoonful or two of gerber carrots today, but rude, mako. raleigh is not a baby and is not the one who tasted and spit orange baby food all over his bib today — which almost counted as eating, right? ]
It tastes... like very orange carrots. But it's not bad. We get stuck in a snow storm, I bet even you'd like it.
[ shhh, she was just teasing you. It's a big thing, though, that their baby is slowly graduating towards eating semi-solid foods. Adjusting him, Mako smiles, all proud mama.
Raleigh's done an incredible job with raising him, and he needs to know that. ]
