"I think it's good Bumi."

"Can't a man play with fire?"

"A man can but you can't. You remember the last time you played with fire right?"

Bumi took a seat next Lin on the couch, a small pout on his lips as he ran a finger over his eyebrows. "At least they grew back." He pulled her feet into his lap and began to massage the swollen appendages.

Lin reached behind her and turned on the radio, letting out a relaxed sigh when the soft music began to flow through the room. "Mm, so how was your day?"

"It was good. I ran into some navy buddies on the street."

Lin sat up, her relaxed face turning into a frown. "You're not regretting our situation right?"

"No of course not. Besides, it's only for a year and then I'll be a part timer in the navy. Quite frankly, I'm happy this happened." He reached down and placed a firm hand on her stomach, his eyes glistening when he felt a small kick. "Now I get to experience the family life with the woman I love. I will never regret loving you because you are giving me what I have always wanted. A child to call my own."

Lin whipped a tear away from her face. "Damnit. I really hate these hormones."

"I see it as something that makes you seem more human. I mean, after seeing you beat the crap out of bad guys without a second thought, seeing you cry reminds me that you're still a woman."

"Yes, because my being pregnant doesn't make me a female."

"I was trying to be sensitive."

"Uh-huh. Hey, it's snowing."

Bumi looked out the window, enjoying the contrast of white specks against the black sky. "You know, this is extremely romantic."

"How so?"

"Well, we have a beautiful fire, courtesy of yours truly, providing warmth and light while I message your feet. Then the soft music and the beautiful snow. There is only one thing that could make this better."

"We're not having sex."

Bumi let out a soft chuckle at her weird sense of humour. "No. Dancing."

"Dancing? And how is that romantic?"

"Really? You don't find two people madly in love, only focusing on each other as they dance together. Feeling each other as they sway to lovely orchestral instruments? So, Lin, would you do the honour of dancing the night away with me?"

Lin looked into his eyes, noticing the sincerity in the light blue orbs. "Alright, help me up. Thanks to your handiwork, I can't stand up on my own."

"You're ruining the mood."

She took his hand, allowing him to pull her to her feet. "If you say so."

A new song started up. A man with a soft tenor voice began to sing about a silent winter night, with two lovers dancing in the snow. Lin and Bumi looked into each other's eyes. Lin, with a small smile and Bumi, with his cocky smirk. Bumi leaned down and kissed her on top of her head, causing her to rest against his shoulder as they swayed to the music. "He stopped kicking."

"Hmm?"

"Our child. He's been kicking all day, he finally stopped."

Bumi quickly got down on his knees and placed his hands on her stomach, a worried look on his face. "He's okay right?"

"Yes, he's fine. He's just asleep. Nice to know you care though."

"Of course I care. Bumi junior is my world."

"He could be a she."

"Fine, Lin junior is my world."

Lin let out a soft chuckle. "We are not naming our child junior."

"That's what you think."
