Eve looked at her husband disdainfully. He was hunched over his equipment, holographic screen displaying whatever it was he was working on. His hair was up in a messy ponytail and his white coat discarded, laying on the floor.

She shook her head. How..how was this going to work. She subconsciously laid a hand on her stomach. He was always doing something-anything. He never rested. Constantly, he had some new project...and.. well, he just wasn't very attentive to them.

She truly loved him, and he, her, but...with this "discovery" she made...she wasn't sure how well he'd take it. Add was a gentleman, he had times where he was the sweetest man on the planet, but most of the time..he was like this.

She watched him work, hearing him mumble sometimes. His fingers moved fluidly over the keyboard and his eyes were focused on the screen. She sighed and tugged ond of her buns loose, untangling the hair before moving to the other. Shaking her head lightly, she smoothed it out. She didn't usually let it loose...but for this occasion, maybe, then he'd pay more attention to what she had to say. He noticed pretty much everything.

She made up her mind and slowly made her way to him, standing behind him. She was quiet for a moment, resting her arms on the back of the chair. His eyes flicked back and forth across the screen.

"Add." She softly called him. He made no move to show that he heard her. "Add." She tried again, louder. Still, nothing. She scowled. He got into these zones where it was near impossible to speak to him. She sighed irritably and moved to turn off the screen.

It shut off. He blinked.

She stepped back as he swiveled around in his chair. He looked tired. Eve sighed and closed her eyes. He needed to sleep.

"Coffee wont keep you awake forever." She mumbled.

"It does well enough." He replied, resting his chin on a fist. She could tell he was waiting for an explanation.

"I have a problem, Add." She opened her eyes and stared into his.

"What may that be?"

"You." She responded with a poker face. His brows shot up.

"How-"

She cut him off. "You aren't attentive enough-and I mean to us. I know you have work to do, but it's consuming you. I've managed this far, but I don't know..if they..will be able to."

His brows furrowed, obviously, he caught her use of 'they'.

"I'm with child, Add."

It was silent for a moment. She could see the swirling emotions on his face.

"Oh."

Her heart sank. She opened her mouth, but closed it, shaking her head and turning to leave the room.

As she was about to step out, a hand enclosed her wrist, pulling her back. Gently, he lifted her chin with a finger, looking calm. He let go of her wrist and lifted a hand to her face, wiping away a tear she didn't notice had escaped.

"Add, are you-" She her voice broke a little. "-are you disappointed? A small smile graced his lips.

"Never." He softly kissed her. "And you look beautiful with your hair down." He mused, running a hand through her silky hair.

"I'm worried." She stared at him anxiously. "You don't pay enough attention to us, so how will you raise a child?"

"Don't worry." He hugged her. "I am happy, Eve. Our family is growing. I promise, I will take care of them with you." He nuzzled her neck.

She sighed, melting into his embrace. It was moments like these where she knew, they would be fine.

Woo! Second one, as promised. How did you like this? Are they in character? *^* I have a bad habit of writing at night so I blame that if anything doesn't make sense... Anyways-Review! :D And about my other story-HLB, I'm working on the next chapter...and will try to get that done soon!
