 Porter sat up in bed with a big grin on his face as he swung his feet off the side, he felt wide awake and completely satisfied in every way. Yet, the male lazily stretched on the side of the bed, he looked down at his side and admired the female beside him. It was such an uplifting experience to be moving on from the past, and both of them were going through it after the decision they made to start trying for their own family. "Good morning beautiful," Porter whispered as he nudged her shoulder with his nose.

 Pastela's eyes fluttered open as she slowly woke up. She felt the tickling sensation on her shoulder and laughed a little. "Good morning, handsome." She quipped back, rolling over to look at him with adoring eyes and a happy smile. "Did you sleep well?"
Guardians she was so happy; they were going to be starting a family, together. Things were perfect.

Porter quietly nodded his head, "I can't say that I have slept that well... ever." Now that he was done stretching, Porter pulled his legs back into the bed, laying on his side with his head leaning on his hand. "So, do you still want to do this?" Porter asked the girl. He wasn't sure if she might have changed her mind overnight after thinking about it. Porter hoped that wasn't the case. Overnight, the more Porter thought about it, the more he grew attached to the idea of having a family with Pastela.

With a wide grin, Pastela nodded her head. "I do, very much so." She paused, then blushed. "But, I mean, only if you aren't having second thoughts. Really, both of us should want this." She reached over and brushed some hair from his face, then lightly touched his antenna. She thought back to her time with Woobie, remembering that she still had some of that special tea brew that she had gotten to surprise him. And then everything had gone wrong and they had never been able to take the concoction. She wondered if it was still good to be made into tea.

Smiling, Porter motioned his head, yes. "Even more than I did last night." He said in a low whisper. He laughed as his antenna bounced at her touch and then his smile disappeared and turned more sheepish. "Uhm... Pastela... I don't really know..." Porter paused, this seemed like the stupidest thing to say. "What do we do now that we've decided to start a family?" Porter sighed, flipping onto his back and staring at the roof of the home.

Pastela felt the heat surge to her cheeks again; oh dear, she was going to have to explain how she had that tea brew.... "Well, usually we would have to go and speak to Millie, the Faerie of Life, and she would give us something to drink. Years ago, though, I had already traveled to her and brought home the brewing for a tea for conceiving. I can make it up for us today, if you'd like."

"Ohh... hm." Porter said, still staring at the ceiling. It reminded him that Pastela had been with someone else first and that they had tried for a family as well. It didn't really upset him or make him love Pastela any less, it was just a strange thought whenever he thought of it. "Alright, should you maybe get Lykaon to watch Lannister while we take care of this or something? I mean what happens when you drink this stuff?" Porter was now less ashamed of his questioning and spouting them out freely as he sat back up in bed.

Pastela smiled and nodded. "I'm sure Lykaon will had no problem bringing Lannister out to play in the garden for a little bit." She sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed, standing up to stretch her arms, back, and wings. "Well, when you drink it, you get really warm and tingly, and sometimes you feel even closer, but really the only effect is that it helps make babies."
Her wings rustled a little before folding behind her. "Are you ready?"

"Alright, here we go." Porter smiled, taking a deep breath as he exited the bed. He walked to the kitchen and went to reach into a storage compartment when he realized he didn't know what he was looking for. "Uhm..." he turned to Pastela, "I have no idea what I am doing, do you need me to run for water or start a fire or something?" Porter asked her, remembering that she had called it a tea.

Pastela covered her mouth in a small giggle as she realized just how nervous Porter was. Granted, the butterflies were all over her stomach too, but it was almost like he was trying to hard. Stepping up beside him, she opened another compartment and pulled out sealed glass jar with dried herbs in it. "Actually, that would be wonderful if you would get a small fire started to boil water in. I should have enough water left in the clay jugs out in the garden; I know at least one of those is full."
She leaned over and gave him a small peck on the cheek, hoping the gesture would get him to relax a little.

Porter melted into the kiss, it gave him a moment to realize how tightly wound up he really was. He took another deep breath and lets his muscle relax for a while. "Ok, I'll take care of that then. I'm sorry, I just am so clueless to this that I'm a little on edge or something right now." Porter shook his head and gave Pastela a quick kiss before walking outside to get the fire ready.

"Porter, everything will be just fine. I promise." She shook her head in amusement as he left, sighing. She loved him, even if he was trying way to hard for things at times. It was one of the things that made him special in her eyes, the fact that he could get so wrapped up in doing something that he'd forget that he needed to breath.
She took a wooden bowl out from the drying section of her kitchen and popped open the top of the jar. Carefully, she poured some of the leaves into the bowl before sealing it up again and taking the bowl outside to the corner of the house. She removed the top of one of the large clay jars and used another bowl, one designated as a scoop now, to pour water over the leaves.
Taking the filled bowl once more in her hand, she carefully stepped out into the back where the fire pit was. "All ready for some cooking."

Porter laughed, focusing on starting the fire had given him a moment to settle down. "What are we going to be cooking up today?" Porter said with a smile as he picked up the cooking stone at his side, and set it over the small fire that he had gotten started. The male held out his hands for the bowl and proceeded to place it on top of the stone.

Pastela eagerly handed him the watery-leafy concoction. "Oh, just a brew to help us with expanding the family." Oh good, he had had a chance to calm down a bit. She could see it just in the way he was carrying himself that he was much more relaxed. "When it starts steaming, it'll have a few more minutes left to it."

Porter's eyes widened dramatically, "We're cooking up babies?!" Porter quickly peered into the bowl and then pulled back with a smile. "Well, while we wait... we can pick up where we left off..." He grinned as he turned away from the bowl and planted a soft kiss on Pastela's lips.
