"Oh, fuck," he heard her groan into the darkness.
"What, babe? You feelin' sick again?" Reno asked, concerned.
"No," Triss sighed. "I just realized, I have to give notice."
"Whaddaya mean, 'give notice'? You quittin'? Leavin' me at Tseng's mercy?"
"No," she chuckled. "I have to give notice before I apply for maternity leave."
"Oh," Reno whispered. "So we can't just pretend you're getting fat?"
"No!" she laughed and whacked him in the face with her pillow.
"Oh, so that's how it is!" he smirked and reached for his pillow.
"No!" she yelled and preemptively struck him. "That's how it is!"
"Oh, you're gonna pay for that!" Reno said as he brandished his pillow.
"Bring it, Red!"
A few minutes later, all was quiet in the little house once more.
"Hey, Reno?"
"Yeah, babe?"
She pressed a kiss to his chest, "Do you really not want to tell the guys you work with? 'Cause I can ask for a transfer to a different department."
"Nah, baby. You can stay," he said and kissed the top of her head. "I got no problem braggin' to the guys that they're outta luck 'cause the sexy secretary that they all want in their beds is too busy havin' my kid," he grinned and pulled her closer.
That, and I'd miss you too much.
