Age of Aquarius (c)

[Script]

Tyler laughed, unable to hold it in. "Tomorrow's Saturday. I'll take ya shoppin'." He kissed her soundly, hand moving to rub her bump.

Maggie smiled, moving over to him, hands holding the front of his shirt to tug him into a kiss. "I want to."

[Mush]

Kathryn nodded ever so slightly. She put her hands on his chest, looking up at him with shining eyes. "How was work, my love?" she asked with a small tilt of her head.

Teddy slid an arm around her waist, pulling her closer. "Good," he smiled against her lips, kissing her again until Daisy started banging her plastic spoon on the tray of her high chair. "She really doesn't like that thing..." Teddy grumbled.

[Script]

Tyler grinned at her, kissing her nose. "It was good. Same 'ol, same 'ol. How was your day, Sugar?" He moved to sit on the bed, then stopped, not knowing what to do with all her stuff.

Maggie laughed, moving to put a candle on the cake. "Honey, she's a hippie at heart. She wants to run free."

[Kathryn]

"Oh, it was great! I got to stitch up this adorable little boy who cut his knee when he fell off his bicycle." Kathryn started to throw her clothes back into the closet willy nilly, figuring she'd arrange them later. When she wasn't so mad at them. Kathryn worked part-time as a nurse at the local doctor's office; it was definitely less traumatic than being a nurse in Vietnam.

"But, the high chair isn't forever!" Teddy argued, letting out a small huff of annoyance. He sat down next to Daisy, prying the spoon from her fingers. Which immediately prompted her to cry. "No, no, no, here you go, sorry, Daddy's sorry!"

[Script]

Tyler flopped down onto the bed as soon as it was clear, hands behind his head as he propped himself against the headboard. "Well, isn't that precious. I want boys. Lots of 'em."

Maggie couldn't help but laugh, brushing her hand over Daisy's head. "Aw, honey, it's okay. Daddy's silly." Daisy settled down, pouting. "Come on, baby, it's your birthday! Cake time!" She winked at Teddy. "She'll forgive you in a minute. Go get the camera."

[Mush]

"So you've told me," Kathryn sighed, crawling toward him. She laid down beside him, resting her head in the crook of his neck. "But what if we have all girls? I'm not just gonna keep poppin' 'em out 'til we get a boy."

Teddy rushed into the bedroom and got their new camera; he'd been saving a bit of money from his salary at the garage every month, and they had finally got one a couple weeks ago. He came back out into the kitchen, snapping an impromptu picture.

[Script]

Tyler let one arm fall around her shoulders, hand rubbing her arm. "And why the heck not? I want enough babies to start our on baseball team." He grinned at her, only half-kidding.

Maggie had managed to put a party hat on Daisy's head. "Quick, get one before she gets it off!" The second he'd snapped the picture, Daisy's chubby little hand reached up and yanked it off, tossing it to the floor. "Well, so much for that."

[Kathryn]

"Easy for you to say..." Kathryn shot him a dark look. "All you have to do is get me pregnant. That's the fun part."

"Hey, I got it, though! We have proof she wore it," he set the camera down, picked up the hat, and put it back on the table. "Go on, light the candle!"

[Script]

Tyler ducked his head down to nibble on her ear. "Mm, that is the fun part..."

Maggie did so, watching Daisy respond to the flicker and then clap along as they sang 'Happy Birthday' to her. "Ok, let Mommy help you blow it out. Daddy, get that camera ready." She brought the cake closer to Daisy. "Ready? One...two...three!" And she blew the candle out while Daisy squealed in delight.

[Mush]

"Yeah, see?! And this --" Kathryn gestured to her ever expanding stomach, "and the throwing up and the crying all the time. Uh uh. This isn't fun."

Teddy snapped the picture right before the flame went out. Damn, he was good. He continued to snap while Daisy successfully got cake everywhere, including her hair.

[Moonshine]

Tyler grinned, kissing her mouth this time. "You're gorgeous, baby. I can't wait until you're huge."

Maggie laughed, pleased. "Come on, cutie. It's bath time." She took Daisy out of the high chair, turning to Teddy. "Do you mind cleaning up in here?"

[Kathryn]

Kathryn just grumbled something about how he wasn't the one who was going to be huge. She still turned on her side, curling into him.

Teddy was already eating the cake that hadn't been thrown somewhere.

[Moonshine]

Tyler chuckled, spooning against her, his hand playing with her hair. "I love it. Cuz it means that it's my baby growin' inside a' you." He kissed her shoulder.

Maggie laughed, moving to kiss him, then took Daisy to the bathroom for her bath. After a while, she called out from the spare bedroom now holding the crib. "Daddy, time to put Daisy to bed."

[Mush]

"Do you know how lucky you are, Tyler? I mean, the male species in general? You get to have sex with the girl who then gets pregnant. You get to sit there and watch as she becomes fat as a whale. You get to sit there and watch as the girl screams her head off when it comes out. And then you get to say 'hey let's have another one!'" Kathryn sighed impatiently. It just wasn't fair.

Teddy put away the dish he was drying and made his way back to Daisy's room, holding his arms out for her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, laying her head on his shoulder. "Sleeping Beauty, huh?" he said softly, rubbing her back.

[Script]

He chuckled, kissing along the back of her shoulder, kicking off his shoes. "Would ya rather we not have anymore?" She went on this rant at least once a week.

Maggie sighed, her heart melting at the sight. He was so good with her. The perfect father. She gave Daisy one last kiss before he laid her down, putting her blanket over her. "Night, cutie pie." She turned on the nightlight, turning off the main switch, then led him out, leaving the door open just a crack.
