'oh it's magic alright,' Nevada murmured into his ear. 'I should start on dinner, help me cook Lucy!' Nevada said, scooping her daughter up in her arms, and carrying her to the counter, setting her on top.
Nevada looked over at the pouting Mikey on Tristans lap and walked over to him, pushing his hair off his forehead to kiss it. 'Now Mikey...you're the oldest....the strongest, you gotta promise me you'll watch out for Lucy and your new sister or brother....you think you can handle that?' she asked, seriously.

Lucy watched Nevada smiling, kicking her feet against the counter, badum, badum.
"Yeah," He said and wiped his nose. "I can, I'm strong like daddy." Mikey nodded and managed a smile.
"That's right Mike," Tristan said, looking down at him. He couldn't help but see how similar they were, same eyes, same nose, same hair color, he was just so much smaller. "What's wrong?" He gently nudge his shoulder.
"Well..." Mikey said and looked down at his hands. "It makes me nervous...cause...well cause now there's Me, Lucy and the new one and I gotta make sure nothing happens to us." He shrugged.
"Mikey," Tristan gently gripped his chin and looked down at him. "That's my job. Mommy just means like when you're playing just keeping them safe." He smiled.
"Yeah?" That made Mikey feel a little better.
"Yeah."

'that's exactly what I meant Mikey,' Nevada said, winking at Tristan before walking over to Lucy, bringing a chair with her. She grabbed Lucy and stood her on the chair, 'okay you're gonna help me peel some potatoes,' Nevada said grabbing a couple potatoes and the peeler.
'you ready?' Nevada asked, placing the peeler in Lucy's hand and holding the potato with her free hand, 'I'm gonna help you' she said, guiding Lucy's hand over the potato.

Lucy smiled up at her mom and then started to peel the potato slowly, she stuck her tongue out of the side of her mouth as she concentrated really hard. Lucy actually lover to cook.
"Thanks Dad," Mikey said and hopped off his lap, scurrying into his room. Tristan shook his head.
He walked over to Nevada and kissed her cheek. "I'll be right back." he said and went into the bedroom.
He shut the door behind him and then sat down on the bed. He lifted his wrapped right hand and undid the bandages. He started at it for a second, his knuckles were abnormally swollen and when he tried to bend his fingers his joints screamed with pain. He hissed and clutched his hand to his chest.
"Damn..." He muttered to himself and then held it out again. He swallowed hard and forced himself to fully open and close his palm, breathing slowly through the pain as he did. His left wasn't nearly as bad, but he didn't punch people all that much with his left hand.

Nevada watched Tristan go and smiled at his retreating back before continuing peeling.
'I did it mommy!' Lucy said proudly as they finished peeling a potato.
'you certainly did! Just a couple more to go!' Nevada said, kissing the back of her daughters head

Tristan slowly wrapped up his hand, letting it relax. He took a deep breath and then left the bedroom. He peered into the kids room and shook his head as he watched Mikey create some sort of picture on a piece of paper.
Lucy continued her diligent work on the potatoes. She loved potatoes and she knew Mikey and her father did too, so they needed a lot of them.

Fate what felt like an eternity they finished peeling and chopping and Nevada put the stew on the stove.
'Alright Princess, go play with your brother....and be nice!' Nevada said, watching her scamper off. Nevada walked over to the dining room table and sighed loudly, resting her forehead on the table as she sat down. She forgot about the fatigue that came with pregnancy.

Tristan stepped over to her and rubbed her back. "You okay?" He asked her. "I could finish the stew if you want."

Nevada sat up and rested her head against his stomach, "No...I'm fine," she said, shaking her head back and forth. "I just forgot how exhausting being pregnant can be," She said, giving him a small smile.
"How are you....are you okay?" She asked, smiling tiredly up at him.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he smiled down at her and let his hands gently massaged her head. "I can help more ya know. I know you have a lot on your plate sometimes."

Nevada smiled up at him, touched by his statement, "That means a lot Tristan." She said, genuinely happy that he had said that. "If I ever do I'll ask you." She said, deciding to stand up and wrap her arms around his waist, "That's better....I wanted to be closer." She grinned.

Tristan wrapped his arms around her and pulled her even closer. "Close enough?" He smirked down at her.

"For now it is," Nevada said, smirking up at him, enjoying the moment of relative quiet while their children were playing. "My stomach's showing earlier this time," Nevada remarked, looking down at her barely noticeable stomach.

"You're nuts. It ain't noticeable yet." He said looking down at her tummy.

Nevada shrugged and tugged at her shirt til it came out of her skirt, "See," She said, looking down at her stomach. "Maybe it is just me...." she said, groaning and resting her head against his chest. "I'll blame all my oddities for the next six months on being pregnant." Nevada said, kissing him.
"How's your hand feeling?"
