 A jolt of adrenaline hit Haruka firmly in the chest as Raiden confimed this big decision. Normally, she'd be bothered that he hadn't outright said that he wanted this -- she had been so determined to make this relationship last that she tried very hard to keep good communication between the two of them, even though they still had a lot of misunderstandings. But now she had completely forgotten to insist on a clear-cut yes or no, her brain was working overtime and she felt the desire to do everything at once right now. "You're right," she nodded, pushing her bangs out of her eyes -- and then she leaped to her feet. "We should start looking at houses now... Oh, and conception tips. I mean, I hadn't had a clue last time, but I guess when it's intentional, people make charts and graphs and take their temperature and stick to a schedule... I have no idea what there is to graph or chart, but maybe we should do that." By the end of this small rant, she had begun to pace in front of the couch. "Maybe we should look into a clinic. Oh, but I don't want to go all the way to the mainland, and hell if I'm putting up with that awful Chinese doctor any longer than I absolutely have to. Oh, and what if--" She began to ramble in a different direction, but she stopped herself. She had launched right into panic and plan mode, without even realizing what the decision they had just made was! Her heart swelled at the thought of having another baby. It was stressful, yes, and uncomfortable, and downright traumatic at times, but... Their family was growing. They should be celebrating, not looking into ovulation cycles or real estate agents.
Stopping in front of Raiden, she bent down and kissed him lightly. "...I'm really happy. Did I tell you that?" It was a wonder he had put up with her for so long, the way she always leaped to conclusions and worst case scenarios. "Are you happy too? Tell me." She wouldn't accept a vague reply as an answer this time.

 Raiden looked up at Haruka, unsure if he was really into this anymore. He thought he could handle it before, but she was going so gung-ho into this. It was just all so weird. He didn't want her to start laying on the bed with her legs up in the air like they always did on TV. He didn't want calendars all around the house reminding him of when she was ovulating. Where was the fun in any of that? He wanted to at least keep some form of excitement in this new adventure. The clinic didn't sound at all romantic either, but he'd probably have to remain involved, right? It would be too rude to leave her to handle that part of it by herself. The shift from panic to romantic caught him a little off guard, and he hardly had time to kiss her back. He knew that this was going to be an emotional roller coaster, but he hadn't really planned on it starting today. Was he happy? Of course he was happy. He was here wasn't he? She was here wasn't she? He hadn't told her to pack up her s**t and get out of his house, had he? Of course he'd never do any of that because he loved her. He had loved her ever since he met her. Sure, she had been a snotty little teenager then, but he had been a pompous a** himself. How they wound up together was still a mystery to him. There was one thing he knew for sure, though. He was happy they had and he was happy now. "Yes. I'm happy. I'm not going to lie, though. The thought of doing all these weird baby rituals does not make me happy." He smiled and reached out to mess up her hair. If he was going to kill the mood, he had to do it with style.

 Even the brief annoyance Haruka felt from Raiden's complete KY-ness wasn't enough to detract from how happy she was. She didn't think she would be so happy, but they were on the same page for once, and they were making mature, adult-like decisions... It was a little dizzying, actually, thinking about finding a bigger place to live, preparing for a baby, all of that... It felt so grown up! Of course, he had to try to dampen her spirits with his dumb man brain. With a small smile, she leaned in to kiss him again -- but she stopped before their lips touched, and reached up to pinch his nose playfully again. "Stop while you're ahead," she said coolly, moving her hand from his nose to pat his cheek affectionately.
As she stood up straight, her brain ran with all of the things she had to think about. Maybe Raiden had hoped he'd get lucky with this sort of situation, but the thought of that had completely left her brain. Before the baby talk, perhaps they could have spent some much-needed time to be intimate without listening out for Axel the whole time, but fate had taken them in a different direction. There were so many things she had to look up, research, read! "I have to call my mom," she realized with a small gasp, smoothing her hair as she hurried off in search of a phone.
-end day-
