Nevada stood in the kitchen staring at the cold food on the table. Tristan said he would 'be late' but this was later than she expected. After feeding and putting Mikey to sleep she had nothing left to do besides wait. And wait she did. Impatiently. Every time she looked at the clock she was more and more convinced time was slowing down which made her angrier.
She was excited for Tristan to come home earlier, excited because for the first time that day she had felt a fluttering in her stomach-felt her baby moving and wanted to tell him. Now all she wanted was to hit him.

Tristan unlocked the door to their flat and slowly opened the door. He knew it creaked and didn't want to wake anyone up. When he saw Nevada sitting at the kitchen table he knew he was in trouble.
"Hey..."

Nevada had her head buried in her hands when she heard the door open. Finally he was home.
She leaned back in the chair and crossed her arms over her chest, 'dinners cold.' was all she said.

"Uh that's okay...I told you I was gonna be late..." He said cautiously.

'not this late,' Nevada said glancing up at the clock.
'where were you Tristan?' Nevada asked, tilting her head to the side, 'the truth would be preferable.'

"I was helping Wraith," He said. He picked up a cold piece of chicken and bit into it.

Nevada narrowed her eyes and made no move to touch her chicken. 'care to elaborate Tristan?'

"Why do you always gotta know everything?" He actually meant the question. "I'm home safe and sound, no bruising, no scratches...nothing so...why do you gotta know?"

Nevada stood up and tilted her head to the side, 'I don't know Tristan....is it so odd to you that your wife would want to know what you're up to?' she asked, 'I mean I am the one at home just months away from popping your child out-the least you could do is TELL me what you're doing.' she said tiredly. She looked down at the table and realized she didn't have the energy to fight him.
'I just want to be let in on your life Tristan,' she said looking back up at him.

Tristan sighed heavily and walked over to her. He rested his hands on her shoulders. "I know you do...I just..." He sighed heavily. "It's hard for me okay? I'm used to keeping things to myself.."

'I understand.' and she did-before Tristan she only lived for herself. 'you just need to try to let me in. Tell me everything. Were about to be a family of four,' she said, pulling his face to hers and kissing him.

Tristan kissed her back eagerly and rested his forehead on hers. "I know..I guess I'm just trying to protect you too."

'you don't want me to worry,' she guessed, 'i worry worse that way. Wondering constantly what you might be hiding.' she said looking up into his eyes.

"I'll try to tell you from now on...I promise." He said with a nod and kissed her softly.

'thank you,' Nevada said, knowing that was the best he could give her. 'today--I felt the baby move.' she said smiling. 'it was the most wonderful thing ever!' she said walking towards the bedroom and removing her shirt.
'right here,' she said pointing to the place on her stomach she felt it.
