Morain nodded quickly, his anxieties cooling at her optimism. He wasn't sure if it would be so easy; even his fathers, chronic nomads as they were, had paused those early years to get their babies through infancy. Then again, was that because their children were from surrogacies or- from necessity?
Would traveling with babies even be possible? How long would Kani need to recover, after having the baby? Perhaps if he worked long enough, during the pregnancy, they could get a larger familiar who could help carry their things...? One that could pull a small cart, perhaps--
He breathed out a shaky breath at the complexities and plans, and focused on the simple, sweet questions Kani was placing before them. "I want that too - I remember traveling with my dads, when I was little - I'm the last person you'd need to convince." Morain said, reassuringly and with a grin. "I want-- I hope they have your eyes. Or your ears--" He reached to gently trace the fin-shape of her ears, beaming. "Or-- oh! Your beautiful markings? I bet they have a head of curls, just like you! A little girl, maybe-" Overwhelmed now that she'd managed to steer his mind from more worried thoughts, Morain ducked down to kiss her soundly, thankful she'd had a chance to rinse her mouth first. Remembering she was still probably feeling ill he pulled away to kiss the curve of her markings under each eye instead, laughing.

Kani laughed at Morain's excited response, pleased that he was so thrilled but curious why he wanted the child to look so much like her. She thought maybe if they had his hair or skin, well she wasn't sure how it worked too much since she was not a hybrid and he was. Would people fuss over their kids? Be afraid of them? She truly hoped not. She wanted nothing more than their children to be loved and doted on. Kani knew she and Morain would, but wondered if others would do the same. Would her father if he ever met them? She was afraid to even consider that question.
"We'll jut work hard and do our best, and if we need to stay in one spot for a little while. For stability and to make sure we are all healthy, well I think I can manage it. As long as it's somewhere not Matori," she smiled, kissing his cheek. She worried she smelled gross due to her earlier sickness, but was afraid to let Morain go too far away from her.
"Our beautiful little family. I think it'll be okay. We'll be okay. Look at my wonderful partner and his new position as papa."

Morain loved the sound of that - still traveling, but at a slower, more sedate pace when necessary. "Of course, anywhere but Matori - or Oba." Morain agreed, thoughts turning to the horror stories his parents had told him about their experiences there, as hybrids. Oba had been exciting and pleasant to travel through, but with Kani and future babies... no, he couldn't imagine risking them there.
He melted into the sweet kiss to his cheek, laughing as he wound his arms carefully around her and drew her close. His heart flipped - papa. He was going to be a papa--
"You're a mama." He whispered back, nuzzling into her neck with an excited hum.

"Y-yeah. I am then. We'll raise the happiest children and make sure they know they can do whatever they want. I don't want them to ever deal with anything I had to, Morain," Kani muttered softly, wrapping her arms back around him and gently running her hand through his hair. "I was shocked at first over all of it, but I think this is good for us. Or well, a new step in our grand adventure."
Kani pressed light kisses against Morain's shoulder as she rested against him, running a thought around in her brain several times before voicing it out loud. "I know we've mentioned it before but uhm....can I marry you? Would that be okay? I obviously don't mind living how we are now either, if you would rather not."
Her face heated as she asked the question, hiding more into the crook of his neck. "I love you. So much. I'm happy to see what our family becomes."

"It won't be like what you had to go through." Morain said warmly. "If one of us got sick or- or had to work, you'd have my siblings and parents to help you. They're literally everywhere." He chuckled, then made an approving, soft noise at the touches through his hair. They drifted into warm, happy quiet for a few moments, until- ultimately... Kani broke it with a question that brought a whine from his throat. He squeezed her tightly for a brief moment, then puffed out a sigh.
"I was gonna ask after you met my dads." He complained with a pout. "So you - you knew you had nothing to worry about. You care about their approval so - so I thought asking before would make you more nervous about it--" He wiggled a little, more to get the nervous energy out than anything. "Yes! Yes I want to be your husband, I want you as my wife! Now--" He reached up to her eyes and playfully made as how of closing her eyelids, covering them with the cool palm of his hand. "Pretend you never asked, so I can surprise you with a proposal, 'kay?"
