Author's Note: Written for my beloved,candywrapper. ♥♥
She's sittin' up already, sat at the end of the bed, watching him almost unblinkingly, which is, at the same time, both most likely the reason he's awake now and the most disturbing thing he's seen in a while. He pushes up on his elbows somewhat groggily, running a hand through his hair, no doubt rather futilely. "River? Bao bei? Why're you up?"
"Something to tell you," she says, shrugging a little and bringing her legs up, wrapping her arms around them and resting her chin on her knees. She looks pretty this morning, her hair brushed carefully and tamed back into a loose braid, out of her face for once. All the better to see her pretty eyes, he thinks, and then chides himself for the thought while she's sat there all seriouslike.
"Yeah? What is it?"
The look in her eyes is one he can't identify. It's most like that glint of mischief in her eyes when she has some plan or other to annoy him, tease him or drive him out of his mind, but it's not quite any of those. He waits patiently while she rocks a little and smiles to herself. Finally, she says it -- "You're going to be a father."
And he has to ask her to repeat it.
A few stunned minutes later he's aware that she's laughing at him. He sits up and grabs at her wrist, tugging her into the bed, never mind her pretty clothes, and pinning her under him. "You're a cruel woman, River Tam," he says, forcing his face into an annoyed expression.
She laughs, reaching up to touch his cheek. "It's your birthday."
"Very nice way to celebrate it, I'm sure, pulling a prank like that," he growls, and she wraps her arms around his neck and draws him down, kissing him sweetly.
"Have to keep life interesting," she tells him, a little chidingly, and then kisses him again. He's inclined to think -- what with these amazing kisses and all -- that life is mostly interesting enough already.
