Dante murred lightly at the nuzzle. "It...would be like a permanent vacation." He couldn't help but grin a little as he snuggled a bit closer, tail waving. He wasn't trying to think about anything as it seemed, the future right now, seemed okay. His mind was a bit more at ease seeing that they were both willing to make some changes, even the bit drastic ones.
He just... wanted to sit here with Chance. Sitting and snuggling close... He gave a small sigh, relaxing a bit more, nuzzling a bit more.

Chance looked at Dante in surprise. He had been thinking along those lines and was glad the wolf thought so... Grinning happily he wrapped both arms around him and kissed him, holding him close. "I love you, Dante... I want to try to make this work."
(( D< !!!! <3 ))

Dante's ears perked as he glanced at Chance and gave a grin returning the kiss. He blinked slightly caught off with the words and his ears went back a a little before he moved nuzzling again Chance, not able to help the smile spread across his face. "I... love you, too, Chance. I... want to make this work, too."

Chance smiled. It had seemed like a natural thing to say. He was glad Dante seemed to feel the same way. He leaned his head against Dante's shoulder feeling more content than he had felt in a long time.

The wolf murred a bit, nuzzling against the others hair... It was odd how things were changing. What would come next? Right now, he felt like anything would go their way... Did this make things official? Well, probably. What a dumb question. So... what was the next step from here? Play everything by ear or were they plans that needed to be made?
Bah... whatever. He nuzzled closer, not wanting to be disturb at the moment by what he figured 'petty' thoughts for the time being.

"Hmm..." he hummed softly, still wearing a smile. The unicorn's mind wandered back to their children. Their children! What an amazing thought. All within a short span of time they would have a house-full to watch over. What would they do? Should they get their own place? If so, it would probably have to be nearby... But did Dante want to go that far? Certainly, if he was willing to travel, he would probably be willing to move in to a new place. Right?
How long could he go without working? Should he work as much as possible until he showed too much? Or... maybe if he was showing people would "go easy" on him at the tables... He smirked at the thought. Maybe he could bring Dante in on the operation. They could make a killing and be out on the next flight...
Too bad kids aren't allowed into the casino. Imagine the sympathy pots...
But... what would they do, after they were born? Children, especially little ones needed full-time care, and neither one of them was overly attentive. Except with each other, perhaps. So maybe that part about them would change, yet between money and kids... how stressful would that be? Well maybe they could get some help with that...
He was wasting too much time worrying. They would work things out as they came. Some things require planning... but not right now. Later. He glanced up at Dante and kissed his jaw lightly. "How have you been... besides sick? Are you handling things all right?"

Dante, himself only briefly pondered and entertained the idea of moving in together. Would that be the best thing to do? He wasn't very educated in the life of someone pregnant, but he imagined quite a few things would be changing personality wise for a bit. Seems he'd need to do some research... Ugh. He was worried what he'd find out, not sure if he wanted all the nitty gritty details before hand.
Ears perking, the wolf smiled lightly at Chance, murring at the kiss. "I... suppose... It was a shock. The only one that knows at the house is Anatu..." What if Karauagh found out? Dear god, the pegasus would taunt him for days... Ears going back at the thought he sighed. As for how he was handling things, "I dont... know. It hasn't soaked in all the way, I think. Anatu's excited enough for the whole world." He gave a snicker, "He's already offered to babysit." Moving he nuzzled against Chance's jaw, "What about you?"

Chance listened quietly, his mind hiccuping at the mention of Anatu. If he knew... then did Kas already know? He had obviously told no one about any of this. He had barely known about it himself... He was definitely not looking forward to breaking the news to anybody.
He frowned lightly even as he automatically leaned into the other's nuzzling. "I don't know... I suppose it will hit me full-force soon enough. Right now I'm just giddy. And tired."

The only reason Anatu knew was because he'd made Dante go to the doctor's and practically pried the information from him once he returned, though Dante had told him to swear to not to anyone. Maybe he could get away with just say he'd put on a lot of weight and that he had the flu? For several months, yeah, right.
His ears went back comfortably as he just stuck close to the other. It... was an interesting thing, how one could be comforted with just being close to another. He could sympathize on the tired part. He'd been fairly stressed out for a day or two, not sure what he was going to do. Not sure about giddy...
Tail waving a little, he sighed inwardly. This was too weird... He finally voiced it, "This is... so... weird." He nuzzled a bit more. It probably wouldn't completely and utterly sink until things started to change which he knew would be happening.

"Yeah... it is." He remained still for a moment or two longer, just thinking about the situation and the future and by all appearances just staring off into space. Then he turned his head to kiss the wolf lightly. "We'll figure things out..."

~Fast forward to... somewhere near future 8D How about... two weeks? ~
The wolf sat at the table his head laying on his arms that were folded before him, ears back. He hadn't talked to Chance recently, but that didn't mean he hadn't been thinking. In fact he had been thinking a lot lately and it was finally hitting him, that something needed to happen; he couldn't keep thinking 'what now' when he had a bit of any idea of what should happen.
The whole time Anatu had been 'mentoring' him in a way. He continued to give suggestions and ideas as to what could happen, all of which were pretty good ideas. Had the other been thinking about kids himself? The small thought made him snicker inwardly. Anatu would be a good parent.
Giving a heavy sigh he sat back, tilting his chair lightly as he did so, head dropped back. He needed to call Chance first. Maybe they could go to dinner? Why had he just sat around so long?
Tail waving, he scooted the chair back and got up, heading to the phone. Dante picked it up and dialed hoping to get an answer.

Enough time had passed that, even if Chance had decided not to tell anyone, his morning sickness would have set off alarm bells anyway. That kind of flu just does not last that long. So there had been The Talk. Everyone that were affected by it had been there, Chance had been put on the spot, and a lot of difficult things had been discussed. When he wasn't running to the bathroom.
It was difficult for Kaspar not to hate his father. But whatever had been between his parents to begin with had simmered down to a mutual partnership of sorts. The kind where you watch the other's back and try to pay the bills equally. It was nowhere near what Morcanth wanted, which was what really upset the angel. But what can you do, if the other just doesn't want "that" ... It made him want to have a talk with Anatu, or just to talk with him, make sure that no assumptions were ever made no matter what happened between them.
Chance really had not discussed things with Dante yet. He did not want to pressure him, and though he had lived a long time and had had many lovers in his life, never had children figured into the picture. It was brand new. It was scary. He was usually a lot smarter than this. So he decided that, as always, he would just go with the flow... and do whatever the wolf wanted to do. Let him make the first move. The unicorn's first instinct was to flee... and that was ultimately the last thing he really wanted to do. He would meet this head on and do the right thing.
The problem was, he was still always in the bathroom.
Needless to say, Chance was not the one to answer his cell phone. It was the calico cat, Bri. His position in all of this? "Yay! More kids in the house!" He would probably love to have his own one day, but that probably wasn't going to happen anytime soon...
Bookmarking his latest story, he sauntered into the kitchen, finding Chance's phone sitting next to the coffee pot. What a lovely idea, he thought. Chance had probably been in the middle of starting a pot when he ran to the bathroom. A quick check, as he lifted the phone to his ear, confirmed it. "Hello~?" He grinned and pressed the button. Within a few seconds the coffee pot started gurgling its song.

Anatu's tail flicked as he cleaned up around the shop. It had been a fairly slow day, but that was okay, his mind was decently preoccupied.
Absently he wiped down a table, clearing it. Kaspar and him had gone to the carnival on Friday night; it had been a blast. Though, Anatu hadn't seem him after they'd left the place they'd fallen asleep. It'd been a bit embarrassing as they had ended up stargazing but fell asleep only to be woken up the next afternoon by one of the carnies. The tiger gave a small chuckle at the thought.
But then there was Dante. And Chance. He had yet to say anything to Kaspar about the pregnancy, not wanting to impose on anything as it really wasn't any of his business. Dante had been just sitting around the house really, at some points he'd gotten the other to do some chores, but only minor ones. It seemed the two hadn't figured out what to really do yet.
Secretly, Anatu was ecstatic about the idea of kids running around the estate.
Dante blinked at the unfamiliar voice that answered. "Um... Is Chance there?" He hoped he hadn't gotten the wrong number.

"Noo~ Or rather, he's busy at the moment, if you wouldn't mind waiting a few minutes..." Twirling a lock of hair around a finger, the cat's eyes widened a little, his mouth forming a little 'o'. "Ohh, is this Dante?" he grinned. He almost hopped in place. Almost. How exciting... he loved romance.
A second or two passed and footsteps passed muffled through the hallway. Chance leaned with his forearm on the wall, scowling faintly. All at once he appeared drained and imposing. "Bri, why are you talking on my phone?"
"Chaaance! It was ringing, of course, so I answered it. I started some coffee for you. You should thank me," the cat stuck his tongue out with a teasing twinkle in his eye, tail flicking side to side. "Oh... I think it's Dante..."
The unicorn rolled his eyes. Dante had probably heard all of it and was no doubt amused. "Thank you. Give me the phone and I'll share the coffee," he rasped grumpily.
"Well... I started it, some of it should rightfully be mine," Bri complained lightly, handing over the cellphone.
Chance said nothing as Bri left the room with a little smirk. He would wait to grab a cup of coffee until the unicorn had finished his talk. He was obviously excited, but never one to impose so rudely. That only meant that the unicorn would have to tell him 'allll about it'... Rolling his eyes again, he put the phone to his ear. "Hello?"
- - -
Classes were in full swing and it was Kaspar's senior year of high school. Normally he would have taken a full load just because he could, but, and he was not going to say anything aloud, Anatu had shifted his priorities a little. Those he did take were accelerated classes, of course, but he was done for the day by lunchtime.
And where was he headed for lunch? Not home...
He parked the car and left his bags inside, locking it as he stepped out. Then he crossed the short distance to the front door and stepped inside, glancing around. It was fairly empty in the shop today despite the hour, perhaps because it was Monday. Given the quiet, several heads turned his way when he entered though he hardly noticed the stares. Instead he walked over to his place in the corner and sat down. Yes, it was his... Anatu reserved it for him, or he never would have imposed. He did not bother with a menu; he never needed it. It was always the Special for the day.

Dante's tail waved as he frowned lightly. Had he---? "Oh... I can wait." He glanced around, hoping no one would walk in on the conversation as he wasn't really in a secluded area. He blinked, "Um, yeah." How did this stranger know it was him?
Patiently he waited as he heard the unicorn in the background finally, relieved a little he wouldn't have to talk to the stranger anymore. Once again paying attention when he heard a familiar voice, he couldnt help but smile just a little bit. "Chance? It's Dante..."
------
Anatu's ears perked as he heard the little bell chime from above the door. He almost missed it as he wasn't thinking about the things around him much. He came out from the back to greet the customer, "Hello~!" He couldn't help but blink when he spotted the familiar angel.
Almost instantly a grin crossed his features and he purred. Glancing around at the customers that were in there he moved over to Kaspar's table, cheerfully taking a seat from across the other. "Hi Kaspar ~" He loved the fact that Kas always sat in the same spot; the spot he saved for the other.
