“Yay, I can barely contain myself, with all the excitement and all,” Cain muttered, propping his feet upon the coffee table, Rose wasn’t paying attention, so if he was lucky he’d get to keep them there all through the movie.
“Wika, you need to check on dinner,” was the last thing he muttered before the opening credits. Twenty three minutes later Cain’s head was lying over on Rose’s and he was snoring.

Rose glanced up at him and giggled, carefully moving her head so he was slumped on her shoulder. He might have a stiff neck when he woke up, but that was an easy fix.
Wika shook her head as she walked back into the living room. "Dinner's ready. I reheated the tenderloin and I made some rice."

“I’ll do it in a second,” Cain was muttering in his sleep. It was a bad habit to talk in your sleep. “Rose, I swear, the damn trash isn’t going to run away between now and then.” He was quiet for a few seconds, before waking up with a jerk.
“Huh?” He blinked a few times. The damn movie was still playing. “Did I hear something about food? Or was someone asking me to buy rice? Or if I liked rice?” He paused, rubbing his nose. “Hell, did anyone say anything about rice?”

Wika snorted and grinned. "Dinner's ready, Daddy. And I said we're having rice."
Rose looked at him, blinking. "And I haven't told you to take out the trash since last Tuesday."

“Oh,” Cain rubbed his neck, damn, he tended to pick the damnest places to sleep. “Food’s good. I’ll eat anything.” He got up, adding in a mutter, “If it don’t eat me first.”
He turned back to Rose. “What are you talking about? I know, I did that last Tuesday when you told me to take it out.”

Wika shook her head. "Just c'mon and eat, both of you."
Rose shrugged. "I really have no idea..." She giggled. Somehow, it seemed pregnancy made her ditz level increase.

“C’mon, we’d better eat before Wika sticks it back in the fridge for tomorrow and then I end up toting it to work tomorrow too,” Cain held out a hand for Rose. “You sure you felt alright today?”

Rose took his hand and slowly got up, putting her free hand on her lower back to keep herself from falling back. "Mmhmm. Great." She giggled. "Might actually be able to keep dinner down."

“I don’t remember anything being this bad with Wika,” Cain said, continuing on to the kitchen. “Of course I tried to block most of that out. You hit me with the broom once…that I remember.”

Rose smiled sheepishly. "Well...I was on a cleaning binge and you got in my way..."
"I'm sorry, babe. I can't exactly help it though."

At that moment, Eva knocked on the door. She was wearing a blue skirt with a loose gauzy shirt that hid her still-flat two month pregnant belly.
"Sorry to come so late!" she yelled through the door. "I was baking and made too much, so I brought you sweets!"

Rose grinned and ran to the door, throwing it open. "Evie! And cookies! Perfect combination!" She laughed.
Wika sighed and sat down at the table. Oh dear Gid...Why did her mother and her mother's best friend have to get pregnant four months apart? Her mother cleaned and her aunt Eva baked...wonderful. She made a silent vow to adopt if she ever wanted children.

"Cookies, brownies, and strawberry pie!" Eva grinned, coming inside and setting things down. "And Jack. You like strawberry pie, right Rosie? Does Cain like it? Oh, I couldn't remember what cain's favorite pie was." her eyes widened slightly, a deer in the headlights look.
"Ohmigawd, Wika! Oh dear, what kind of pie do you like, sweetie? Tell your aunt Eva and she'll go make it for you right away!" she looked like she was about to start crying. "I'm so sorry I forgot....."

Rose smiled. "Don't worry, Evie, we all love strawberry pie." She patted her friend on the back.
"Yeah, I love strawberry pie, Aunt Eva." Wika flashed a grin. Actually, she was more parcial to pecan and blackberry, but she didn't need more water works tonight.

"That's good." Eva smiled. "I hope it's good.... I may have added a bit too much sugar...."

Rose giggled and patted her stomach. "You're now very lucky I have a huge sweettooth."

Eva giggled and hugged her friend. "You've GOT to give me that shirt after the baby's born, Rosie. You HAVE to."

"Can you believe I got this on sale!" Eva squee-d. "Five dollars!"

"No freaking way!" Rose gaped and giggled. "It's soo nice!"
By now, Wika was contomplating banging her head against the table to tone out the two older women.
