waking up to a new adventure

[slayers_desire]

Their dinner party with Victor and Cole (and their children) was absolutely enjoyable. When April and Clark returned home, it was full of enthusiasm and happiness. After saying goodnight to both Martha and Jor-El, April was more than looking forward to returning to her bed with her husband. And of course they made the most of their night back home.

Waking up Clark's arms felt so nice. A perfect start to a new day. And April cuddled up to Clark and kissed him softly. "Morning."

Clark, as usual, has been awake for at least a few minutes before she was. He always enjoys the opportunity to watch her sleeping. And he returns the kiss, smiling. "Good morning. Sleep well?"

[slayers_desire]

"A perfect night sleep. I had some wonderful dreams." A nice thing from the usual for her. The voices are most active when she sleeps.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Mmm. Anything you want to share?"

[slayers_desire]

"A dream of a hosue full of kids, and a wonderful husband who also makes a wonderful father."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Well... at least you wake up to having one of those." He gives her another kiss, thinking about how his dreams were a bit similar. Having an evening with Victor and Cole's family seems to have gotten them both thinking about kids, even while they're sleeping.

[slayers_desire]

With April, chances are that they actually shared the same dream last night.

"A grown-up kid who is my husband?"

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"You're funny." He hasn't felt like a kid for a long time now, although sometimes it still feels like he doesn't know how to be a typical adult.

[slayers_desire]

There are times when April truly believes that an adult needs to think like a kid, to have fun and enjoy life. And enjoying life is something they need more than anything right now.

"I have to say... I learned a lot yesterday." April rested her head on his shoulder. "About having children."

((quick question, what is the timeline of Clark's letter?))

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Hopefully not in the 'rethinking having them' kind of way," he says, figuring that it probably isn't, but still unable to help the little bit of irrational worry.

((Whatever's best for drama, I guess. I'd been thinking sometime the previous day, maybe, when Clark was at work, but we can have it be during this thread if that works better))

[slayers_desire]

"Oh no. I still want to have kids with you. I did get a little freaked out about being a good mother..." The whole not connecting thing threw her off for a loop after all.

"Do you think we should tell Martha we are serious about being parents?"

((later in this thread might make for more drama))

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"I don't see why not." He kisses her forehead, as if to chase away those worries. "She looked pretty wistful whenever she held Victor's girls last night."

[slayers_desire]

"I think she will be happy to learn that we want to be parents." They are still taking it one day at a time.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"I think that whenever fate decides to make us parents, she'll be over the moon at being a grandmother. She's always loved kids."

[slayers_desire]

"You know, I think she is a little lonely. We haven't visited with her a lot. And we should make the most of when she is here."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"The Senate's been keeping her really busy lately... but you're right. All the time we get together is precious these days."

[slayers_desire]

"Speaking of... how much more time can we spend in bed?" April gently teased.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

He groans a little. "Not as long as I'd like." Tess knows enough that she doesn't get him in trouble for being late to work, but he's still expected to get the job done.

[slayers_desire]

"Darn. I could lay at your side forever." Logically they would have to eat eventually, but the sentiment is there.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Maybe one day we'll have to get a room at the Nexus and just do that," he teases her back, giving her another kiss.

[slayers_desire]

"A whole day with you and only you. Oh my... don't give me any naughty ideas."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

He chuckles, and lightly taps her shoulder. "Come on, lazybones. The day's waiting."

[slayers_desire]

"Sure sure..." April stretches. It takes her a little longer to get out of bed in the morning. But she is soon changed and ready to start her day.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

The routine is a comfortable one, and Clark heads down to start making breakfast. He's only a little surprised to find his mother already in the kitchen, making the morning meal. She smiles when she sees the two of them. "Good morning. I hope you don't mind."

"It's still your kitchen, Mom," Clark assures her, not minding in the least.

[slayers_desire]

"A definite change from finding Clark down here, making breakfast for us." April smiles brightly. She hopes that Martha can still find everything she needs. April didn't change much in the kitchen.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Is Jor-El around?" Clark asks, not sure how he and Martha would've gotten along alone.

She nods. "He's out helping Raya with the cows."
