((**peeks in** anyone around?))
Kaen walked down the stairs and stopped by the fireplace. "Why's this silly thing even on? It's the middle of the summer?" she grumbled to herself as she poured sand on the coals to douse them. Setting the bucket down, she turned and noticed the still sleeping Ever and Caradoc and smiled softly, then went to the kitchen. Pulling out a pot, she filled it with water and set it on the stove.

Tomo stirred from his daydreaming and looked over at Kaen, "Oh hey." He murmured, scratching his shoulder. He wiped his eyes in his t-shirt sleeve and sipped his tea. "Didn't hear you come down. Do you need anything?" He asked.

Kaen looked up from cleaning the rice grains. "No, I've got it. I'm making some rice....they become onigiri, I haven't decided yet," she said as she carefully poured out the water, keeping one hand against the edge of the bowl so that no rice could escape. Once satisfied that the rice was clean enough, she poured the rice into the pot on the stove and fit a lid on top as she turned the heat to allow the rice to simmer. "Do you want me to get you something while I'm back here?"

Tomo shook his head, "I have my tea, so I'm covered." He said, letting his eyes fall on her growing belly. He allowed himself to smile just a little. "Kai's probably very proud to see how the baby's growing." He murmured fondly. He leaned back against the bar.

She nodded, putting a hand on her stomach. "Yes....I just wish there was some way...." She shook her head and stepped out from behind the bar. "I miss him so much..." Her ears drooped slightly as she lowered her gaze.
((**snicker** beautiful lead-in....))

Tomo nodded and gave Kaen's shoulder a gentle squeeze. "I know how you feel. I would give..." He stopped himself, letting his voice trail off. Would he give anything for Kaia to come back? Of course he still loved her. That would never change... But Cass had filled that hole so perfectly. Did he even want Kaia to come back? He shook his head. "I miss Kaia, too." He decided to say as he gazed over at the sleeping boys. "Guess we're dropping like flies, here."

She glanced at him. "I hope not. Flies aren't fun to be compared to," she said, a small smile on her face. "Sorry I haven't been around much. I've been helping Blayne teach Rose. I get to teach her to read. Nii-san figures I'm preparing myself for this one."

Tomo shrugged, "It's not a problem. Not much business has been going through here as of late, so it's not like we were overwhelmed or anything." He said, stretching. "And you need to take a few months to yourself when you're pregnant, anyway."

"I guess. I don't even remember how long I'm supposed to be pregnant, but since I haven't given birth yet, I guess it's nine months, like humans," she said, sitting down next to him and leaning back. "It has been too quiet really....almost boring..."

((Errands, you mean?))
Tomo nodded and touched his own stomach. "I almost wish I could've been pregnant with Rhi longer... Almost." He said, staring at the ceiling as he leaned back even more.

"I still have a hard time believing that you were pregnant even though I was here for most of it," she said. "And yet, the proof is upstairs and occasionally playing with Rose."

"Yeah. I have trouble believing it, too..." Tomo sighed and finally stood up. "Well, I should get some laundry done." He said, cracking his knuckles. "Take care, okay, Kaen?" He said with a small smile. The constant whir of the washing machine would be sort of comforting right now.
((Gotta go!))

"Alright. I need to check on the rice anyways," she said, getting up as well, but with a little difficulty. She made her way to the kitchen and lifted the lid to the rice, stirring it to make sure than none of it burned. SHe shut off the burner and replaced the lid so the rice could cool a bit.
((bye sd!))
