50 - "I think you're beautiful."

"Son of a bitch!"

Toby bolted to the bedroom at the sound of her swear. There was a loud thud, presumably one of his limbs against the wall. She winced. He tumbled over the threshold, holding his knee with both hands.

"Have no fear," he fell to the ground, "the doctor is here!"

Happy rolled her eyes. "Stop being so paranoid. We've been over this. Not every little thing means I'm having pregnancy problems."

He watched with a concerned frown. "You're okay? Nothing's wrong? You don't feel nauseous or-"

"Doc."

He pouted. She matched his gaze intensely, and that got him to stop. "Okay, okay. Sorry. Forca habit."

"Then quit it. I don't need you tripping over yourself. You're gonna get hurt."

Lips pressed together, he nodded. "Got it." He managed to stand up, although his attention went straight for his knee. His hands jumped to grab it. "Ow, my patella."

"You okay?"

"Mmm," he held onto the wall, "peachy keen, my jellybean." She watched him with worried eyes, but he quickly changed the subject. "So, if it's not our little bambino, what's a matter?"

Happy blinked. "What?"

"Well, somethin' didn't sound right in here."

"Oh." She clenched her jaw. "My jacket." She smoothed her hands down the sides. "It's the fifth one I've tried on. They're all too damn small."

"Not excited about the weight gain, huh?" The corner of his lip quirked downwards empathetically.

She furrowed her eyebrows. "I could give less of a damn about how I look. I just want my clothes to fit."

Toby smiled and it touched his eyes. Their glint made her warm. "We can get you new threads, Hap." A groan rumbled in her throat, prompting him to hobble closer. "For the record, I think you're beautiful. I mean, you're always beautiful. But if anyone can pull off the hot mama in leather, it's Happy Quinn."

Happy looked at him. She didn't argue and she didn't agree, but she didn't say anything, either. She shrugged her shoulders out of the jacket, tossing it into the pile with the others.

"You are beautiful, Happy," he said. "The most beautiful woman in the world."
