Sawyer walks in the door balancing a small stack of paper carefully in one hand and carrying a bag of groceries in the other.

... and immediately trips over Duke. The dog and the man glare at each other as if the other is to blame.

He starts to look a little worried. "She got any reason to think it might be?"

"No," she says and her fingers flex against his. "But she said my pregnancy with Seth was the most difficult she'd seen before and, you know, I don't know why Seth is. . .special, but we have been living in the bar for a long time and. . . I just want to make sure everything is fine every step of the way."

He nods but doesn't really look less worried. "Yeah, I reckon."

"Hey," she says softly and places a small kiss on the side of his mouth. "Everything will be fine. We're just taking precautions."

[milliways_sawyer]

"I know, I just... don't necessarily have a good track record with family."

"Nothing's going to happen to her. I won't let it."

[milliways_sawyer]

He chuckles. "My hero."

She smiles but it's an uneasy one. "I'm serious, Sa--James. This is. . . she's one of the only things I can give you that no one else has. I'd do anything to protect her."

[milliways_sawyer]

He reaches up to run his thumb along her jawline. "Sweetheart, you've given me all kinds of things no one else has. The baby, your love... hell, a chance!"

"It just doesn't seem like it's very much sometimes," she murmurs. Her smile strengthens a bit though, just the same, and she rests her forehead against his.

"We're really moving in together this time, aren't we? We're finally doing it."

[milliways_sawyer]

"Not much, my ass. It's everything."

He smiles as her head rests against his. "Yep. You ready for this?"

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"I've been ready. I've spent my whole life waiting for you."

A pause and then, "I finally have someone who can reach the higher shelves."

[milliways_sawyer]

He smirks. "You could always just get a stool or somethin'."

"I could, but why would I?" she makes a face and extracts herself from his arms as she stands.

"Come on. I suddenly have the desire to get you as naked as possible."

[milliways_sawyer]

He stands and grins. "Yes, dear."
