Countdown

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Last minute preparations time, it seems... here we have Xeha at a kitchen table, with a checklist in front of him, a big mug of coffee, and a couple of books by his side. Kids' names, among other things. 'The Ultimate Guide for New Dads'. All the theory about parenting. All of it.

A few last details to be sorted before the big day. How long could it be? A week? Two? Still not sure how things are going to go... well, they're going to happen. Whether he's ready or not.

And maybe a Xehanort'll finally have created something good, he tries not to think.]

[Aqua's been resting a lot the last couple weeks, but right now she's heading into the kitchen to get a glass of water. She smiles a bit when she spots Xeha at the kitchen table, lightly laying a hand on his shoulder as she goes by.]

Hey.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He gives her a smile.] Hey. Up and about for a bit?

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

{She nods and gets her glass of water before sliding into the seat across from him.]

Yeah.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

How've you been feeling lately? Everything alright?

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Yeah I've been resting a lot.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Don't blame you. I think I would be too.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[Aqua nods and looks over at the baby name book.]

Any ideas yet? I was um...thinking maybe Desiree if it was a girl..or Mariah, one of the two...

[Hey there Xeha. It's your younger self's teacher! And she's sneaking up behind you to read that checklist over your shoulder.]

...Huh.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Well, it's not the Aqua who was on his mind, but he gives her a look as she does so.]

Curious?

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah.

[Picks up the 'ultimate guide for new dads" with a smirk.]

Been busy, huh?

[That could also mean with the study he's obviously been doing...But most likely doesn't.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He gives a laugh.] Well, with one thing and another, I'd say so.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

So who's the Mother?

[She's your teacher she's allowed to be nosy. Also this is amusing her.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Ah, but she only became his teacher after this one travelled back to this era - would she have still been one then? Either way, he's pretty calm, with maybe just a quirk of a smile-]

Another Aqua.

[Coffee sounds like an excellent idea right now.]

How's it going?

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Pretty well. Could maybe be sleeping better, but - well. That's not going to be happening in a hurry, I don't think.

sorry for the delay, was just drawing a blank

[rockbroken.livejournal.com]

Probably not.

No worries. It happens.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

How've you been, then?

[rockbroken.livejournal.com]

I could do without getting turned into a girl again.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Taking a sip on his brew, he raises an eyebrow-] When did that one happen?

[youstillneedme.livejournal.com]

['Sup, just sort of being a creeper poking his head in as he usually does.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Heh. He gives a wave as he spots the familiar face there.]

[youstillneedme.livejournal.com]

[There's a wave back as he makes his way on in properly.]

Last minute studying?

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs, laughs slightly.] Just trying to make sure.

[youstillneedme.livejournal.com]

You'll do fine.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Heh. I suppose I'm just full of what-ifs right now. What if things go wrong? What if I do something wrong? What if the kid... takes after someone they shouldn't?
