A nap sounded nice, but he had a gut feeling that, depending on how well the kids were behaving themselves, Rose and Kayla were going to want a break, leaving him it as far as keeping an eye on things.
Not that he minded, really. He considered it good practice. He figured if he could keep track of two kids old enough to run around and talk, and one merchild who sort of slithered rather than crawled, a new baby ought to be easy, right? Right. .....maybe.
"Let's get you to bed then." he smiled, placing a hand over the one on his thigh to give it a squeeze before placing the key in the ignition and starting the car up for the first time. The engine made a loud rumbling purr as it came alive, the car helpfully chiming to warn them to fasten their seatbelts.

With a nod, Tinania pulls her hand away before resting it on her stomach again. Closing her eyes, she seems to be at peace until she felt a slight kick to her hand. Blinking, she opens her eyes as she looks down at her stomach in shock.
"I...I just got kicked..."

He froze momentarily, looking first to Nani and then at her belly. "...really? Are you sure?" he asked around the lump that had suddenly risen in his throat.

Tinania nods as she lifts her hands off her stomach. A few seconds later her stomach seems to jump again, as she was once again kicked by the baby. Looking up at Zhane, she finds herself grinning as she shakes her head "That the first sign of movement I have had. I've been looking for it for awhile now."
Just with that little knowledge, Tinania wanted to squeal and cry. She was so happy to have movement, even if it meant it would hurt alot later.

His brows shot up as her stomach jolted, seemingly on its own. With what seemed a great effort he pried his eyes away to meet hers, smiling broadly. He wasn't sure what, exactly, he felt swelling in his chest at the moment, but it was a good feeling. One that made tears prickle unbidden at the corners of his eyes.
Suddenly it all felt very real. Not like they were waiting to find out if it was or not. Leaving the car to idle, he leaned across the seat to hug Tinania tightly.

Tinania was surprised by the hug to say the least. Looking at Zhane for a moment, she laughs as she returns it "Zhane, are you all right?" running her fingers lightly across his neck, she looks over his face.
Was he about to cry? Frowning, she lifts one hand to brush at his cheek "Zhane did I do something wrong?"

He didn't break the hug, and for a moment, it almost didn't seem he'd heard her. At last, he gave a slight shake of his head, smile not abating, eyes cracking open to look at her, even as a single tear escaped the corner of one.
"Just happy." he whispered.

Brushing a kiss across both Zhane's cheeks, Tinania smiles at him before she nods "Maybe we should head home. I think I might be able to convince Rose and Kayla to watch the kids a little longer. That way you can lay in bed with me, and we can both watch this child kick." she was really glad to see Zhane thrilled like this. Even if it was a kick to her stomach, she was still happy.

He drew back once again, letting her get situated back in her seat as he did the same, finding his seatbelt and drawing it over his chest to click it in place. He knew he was probably overreacting emotionally ("being a girly-man", Ken would've called it if he was there) but, circumstances being what they were, and Nani being the only one there to see it, he felt he was entitled. It wasn't really the kicking he was enjoying, so much as the fact it meant the baby was not only still okay, but thriving.
"I could go for that." he said, blinking away the rest of the moisture in his eyes as he tentatively shifted the SUV out of park, feeling the vehicle give a lurch as its wheels were freed. Giving her a sidelong glance, he slowly reversed the vehicle out of its spot and prepared to drive it back to the Haven.
Here went nothing....
