--&&-- Laying on the couch doing absolutely nothing was pretty much no fun. Sitting on the couch reading a book he had read a dozen or so times before? Even worse. Eventually Dante gave up on it and laid it on his chest as he simply stared up at the ceiling. Either he needed to find something else to do or he needed new books. Then again he hadn't sat around all day; he had gone outside with Angel so that counted for something. "Panther!" No need to be overly loud but otherwise she probably wouldn't hear him. "You should come keep the hermit company!" |

"Hermittttttt." Harm called back, walking into the room with an amused quirk to her lips, one hand on her stomach (as if by walking they were going to be shaken or something and she needed to make sure they were safe, or something). She had been in the kitchen, eating icecream (guilty), "I'm right here. No need to yell." She simply walked over and sat right on top of him, "Hey, come here... I want you to feel something." She'd been feeling the flutterings for weeks, but that was all internal. The last few days or so though, if she kept her hand on her stomach, she could feel them kicking. Just little taps, but since they were being active - she didn't know, maybe the icecream was too cold? - she could show Dante. So Harm grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach, above and to the right of her bellybutton. |

"Well I wasn't sure if you were upstairs. You sneak into that kitchen as if you're gonna be trialed and sentenced for eating the ice-cream, and yes, Harm, I know that's what you were doing," Dante told her, a amused smile on his lips. Partly he was expecting her to sit down like she did simply because he was taking up the couch with laying there. Not like it bothered him. "I can't go anywhere, you've got me stuck," he pointed out, though as his hand was suddenly grabbed he wasn't entirely sure about that situation. Sure Dante was fine with it but then Harm started explaining things he had no idea about and now who knew---Well...that was new. He was pretty too he wasn't imagining things and that the look on his face gave him away. "Did they just...wow." Or one of them did. But still. |

"I was n-" Harm started to deny, shaking her head - except for he would...definitely notice the amount of icecream now gone in the tub. Damn. "Okay, I just needed a little bit..." She adopted what she hoped was a cute enough sheepish look for him not to mind - they were going to need more soon. Very soon. Because, she needed icecream. It was a necessity. The babies liked the icecream, she liked the icecream... "Ow." The utterance was unexpected on her part, her face crinkled for just a moment as the opposite side she'd put his hand on suddenly became rather tender. they were both kickers - she could tell this pregnancy was going to be a lot of fun, but the left had just kicked an organ, or something, because that really hurt... "Yes, I have you stuck." Harm grinned wickedly, her eyebrow going up for a moment, ignoring her left side for the moment; until he started reacting, and her grin turned into more of a excited one. "They're big enough you can feel them kick, yes!" She supplied, before sighing, "And damn, can they kick." |

"Hey, I'm guilty of finishing off that last one the other night with Angel so.." So she should have been in bed at that point but ah well. It was probably what accounted for why Ang didn't sleep for a while afterward. Silly sugar rushes. He was much too distracted by the kicking to actually give the normal response of asking if Harm was alright. It really did amaze him at the moment. "I told you panther's powered over hermit's," he pointed out absently. The latter though Dante did glance at Harm and teased, "Better you than me?" Really he expected to get whacked for that comment. |

Harm grinned brightly - oh yeah! That meant that last tub...she cast a furtive glance at the kitchen, but decided to finish it off later. of course, she had to roll her eyes at him, "Yes, all the running around and giggling and such late into the night. I definitely remember..." Whatever. It wasn't like they ran a usual little house schedule. They were up late and up early and down late and down early and doing what they felt like when they felt like it... "Only coz I'm squishing you." She laughed. "I don't have any problem being on the bottom." Tsk. His next comment though, made both her eyebrows go up, and she scowled at him, "Yes, because guys are big babies about everything and wouldn't be able to handle being pregnant." |

Hey Dante had found it funny really though he had sat on the couch while Angel had run of the house on her sugar rush. Eventually she crashed but that took a good few hours. Harm's comment though he probably would have made the attempt to switch by flipping them over but that was under circumstances where he wasn't probably being as careful. The babies? Right. Falling off the couch was a no. "Who said I had any problem being on the bottom?" Of course he couldn't help but make such a comment right back. "I'll just be honest and say I probably wouldn't be able to handle it, no." |

Harm waited, but his response just made her laugh. Naturally, seeing as she was sitting there, Harm decided to wiggle a little bit. Just a tad, as if she was shifting to get more comfortable. He saiiid he liked being on the bottom. A grin, and she responded, "No one, of courseeeee not.." Whereas his first comment about better her than him seemed a little crude, or mean, or whatever, accepting that he couldn't handle it made it all better, and she smiled, "Well. We'll never know, will we? Unless there was something you wanted to tell me?" |

"No need to be such a tease, Panther," Dante told her with a grin, putting one arm around her waist best he could considering he was the one laying and she was sitting. His previous comment was very true. He knew absolutely nothing basically despite Harm's explanations on certain things. He was just clueless really so that only added to the fact he knew he wouldn't be to handle it if he were in Harm's position. Well that just proved that old adage that woman were stronger didn't it? "Hey there are human science experiments going on for things like that," he pointed out. |

Harm just laughed, again, stilling when he put his arm around her waist. "But I like being a tease. It's fun." And obviously, it was how the little developing babies in her stomach came around too, right? No one said being pregnant meant you had to stop your normal doings. At least, not this early, right? She wasn't big enough for anything to be difficult, say, walking up stairs, or laying on her back, or anything like that. The comment about the human science experiments just made her grin. "I really don't think you have a birth canal...or eggs...or a uterus...that can function. The males were made for one job, females another. Science would have to change things internally a lot a lot for a born-man to have a baby." Cheerfully, she added, "That's why you get to wake up with me at three in the morning when the babies kick you off the bed..." |

"Don't I know it." It was probably one of those comments better left off in his head than spoken in words but apparently not thinking before he spoke was common. As Harm went onto explain he had to laugh and that was because of the experiment ideas then. "Well then they'll be turning into something straight out of frankenstein's lair." Ha see he was learning muggle things and remembering them. "Three? Aren't I usually up then anyways?" Apparently you had to check for monsters not once not twice but three times in a given night as if those nasty little buggers would just pop up when you weren't checking.

Harm leaned down and kissed him with a grin when he agreed with her, and then straightened back up with a little sigh at the mention of being up at three in the morning. Way, way too early. And yet, he was right; Angel had a weird sleep-schedule, and it was always those nights when she'd had a lot of sugar that she woke up screaming about monsters. Just thinking about it made her tired, and she yawned, "Right. You are. Oh merlin, just think with three of them..." Talk about not sleeping at all... |

Putting it in those words made it more real. Three. Right. It wasn't like the house was quiet now but it for sure wouldn't be once the babies arrived. "Can't we go back to the other comments? The non frightening and ones after you sat on me?" Dante did grin and really thinking about all the stress and who knows what when there would be Angel and two others? That would be one of those things that kept him up as he thought about it. Partly because he was still very much so set on the fact he wasn't good with kids or that he didn't know what to do. |

Harm took in his suggestion and responded, her fingers entwining with his free hand as she asked, "What's so scary about it, Hermit? Just the numbers? Having to split the attention? Tripling how many kids are in the house? Having babies to take care of again?" He was there, albeit not with her, when she had Angel in the house. Before Emma fed them the potion. So she knew it wasn't that he was bad with kids. Hell, he was an overgrown kid himself, sometimes. Angel loved him to death. She knew he was capable. She just wanted to know what he was worried about. Pregnancies weren't just hard on the mom, she knew. "Okay, how about the teasing is fun comments?" She laughed. |

"The fact it's entirely different. I mean if I do something wrong what if they get hurt? Or what if I do something wrong and they end up like...hating me for it. I guess it's just that. Not knowing what to do or knowing and not sure if I'll do it right." He had thought about those worries plenty before so it was easy to give Harm a answer. The latter though was less serious and he laughed too. "Right, those comments." |

Well, the very first thing Harm pointed out was simple, and easy to see, "Does Angel hate you?" No. Angel adored him. He was her daddy and her protector from those monsters and her playmate and he let her get away with basically anything. He had helped her take care of Angel since she was a baby as well, and he never did anything wrong. So her first question just spoke for itself. "She's not hurt, she doesn't hate you. Second of all? We're new parents. We're learning. And just knowing that you're so worried about doing something wrong lends itself to knowing that you're a great dad, and you won't hurt them. What could you possibly do that's wrong? Besides, we have five months until this conversation becomes real worries. You're their daddy. They automatically love you. And I've said before, I'll say again; You are amazing with kids. You just can't see it." She shrugged. |

Harm did have a point and she probably knew it too. All worries usually seemed much less when you heard them back to you, though that didn't them any less real. "And as amazing of a mother as you are to Angel.." Dante left that be where it was simply because Harm would get what he meant. It was the same really that she had said to him. Then to bounce back from the serious topic, "Are you going to let the hermit be unstuck?" Though he didn't mind of course, but he did continue with being silly. "The hermit might have to go back in its shell and hermit and we all know how much the panther hates that." Which how was he to do that? Right. Take the book that had been abandoned and put it over his face. Wonderful, shell, Dante, really. |

Harm just smiled when Dante called her an amazing mom - she could, technically, argue against that, because Angel didn't have a set bed time or set meal times and didn't have must structure at all, but Angel was happy, and that's was really mattered, right? Right. So when he moved on, so did she. Only to return back to the over-grown kid. "If the hermit goes back in it's shell, then the panther can't kiss him, can she?" The book over his face....she snorted, and stood up. "There, the Hermit is unstuck - but the hermit can't hide. Rules are rules. Don't break them..." There would be severe punishment!... ...She would eat all the icecream. |

Dante had lowered the book away from his face at the first and then when Harm had stood up he put the book on the floor rather quickly and instead caught Harm's hand to pull her back down once he had sat up. "The panther can't leave though. That in itself is like a rule," Dante told her as he made sure to wrap his arms loosely around her waist. "The hermit promises not to hermit." Hey he had done really good by that rule thus far so that counted for something too. |

Harm hadn't gone anywhere; she'd stood up, and just stayed there, expecting him to sit up, or call her back, or something. She hadn't, exactly, been expecting him to sit up and pull her back down, so she squeaked a tad when she landed back on top of him. It wasn't far, it was just a surprise. She just laughed though, at herself, and set her hands on top of his arms once they went around her stomach. "I wasn't leaving..." She told him, still smiling, "Even if rules are meant to be broken." There was no need, or wish, to break that specific rule anyways. Even though it like, literally just became one. "Good." She just answered to his promise to not hermit. "Coz that's not a rule, that's a law." |
