Mari hummed softly to the boy. "I just want him to be happy with this... I know how much you mean to him. And how much he means to you," she hummed quietly. She did hope he was happy about this. He'd be a grandad to their baby, and she wanted him to feel good about this, not resentful about it all. But he had seen the old man with the kids in the castle, and he was good with them. Actually, so was Sage, and she was giddy to see the boy with this baby of theirs. She fell back onto the bed with the boy and rested her head on his shoulder, her arms crossed over her mid-drift lightly. "He'll come around to it, I'm sure. I think he might be a bit... protective like you say, but he won't be horrible about it," she hummed lightly.

Sage hummed in agreement and nodded his head. "the old man might wonder why it happened so quick, but I suppose even the fossil was a teenager once. Or young adult, whichever you so choose. I guess he gets it," he hummed with a light shrug. He sort of turned towards the girl when she kay down next to him, wrapping his arms around her. "I hope so," he hummed. Her family would kinda of end up being his family too... especially if he decided to propose, which he should at some point. Especially now that she was carrying his child. But he did want them to like him.

Mari hummed with a bit of a chuckle at his first comment about the doctor. "He had his nose in his books back then... I'm not sure he gets it," she hummed in a kind of jokey tone before giving a small yawn. It still wasn't too late... but even the food seemed to wear her out, though she was happy she'd at least tried to eat something. She hummed and went to press a light kiss on his cheek when he wrapped his arms around her, just kind of melting into him. "They'll be happy, I'm sure... we might just have to do work with Anthony to get him to chill out a bit. But he's gonna want to see this baby, and he's gonna have to get along with you if he wants to do that," she told him quietly.

Sage chuckled lightly at the girl's light tease about the doctor. "Oh, please, I'm sure he had his nose elsewhere too," he chuckled. "he's gotten me back quite a few times prank wise....he certainly didn't learn them recently," he mused in a rather amused tone of voice. Then he pursed his lips slightly and humming in thought. "well, I hope so. I don't want to come between you and your family," he admitted quietly. "I don't mind if Anthony doesn't like me....plenty of people don't like me....I just really don't want him upset with you or not want to see the baby when it comes." He would prefer Anthony to not get upset with him, too ...but he couldn't ask for it all, could he? If there was something up there in charge, they certainly weren't one to listen to his pleading for something to go right. "When are you thinking of telling them," he asked curiously after a moment or two.

She huffed to the boy before shaking her head. "I don't believe that for one second. The man rode around on a mule! He had his nose in his bags if it wasn't his books," she hummed with a bit of a chuckle. She then opened her eyes to look at the boy with a cocked head. "He pranks you? How," she asked with an amused hum. She shook her head slightly to the boy at his next comments. "Don't worry... there's nothing that would happen to make him upset with me. He might be a bit... disappointed but he wouldn't stay that way for long." Mari shook her head slightly before pressing a soft kiss to his lips. "He couldn't dislike anything that makes me happy... and you make me very," the girl moved to press a small kiss to his nose, "very," she continued to press a light kiss to his chin. "Very happy. He's just going to be a bit... shocked at first. But he'll get over it," she told him with a small smile once she'd pecked his lips one more time. She looked thoughtful for a moment before shrugging slightly. "I'm not sure... whenever I get home, I suppose. In the next week or so. Can you come with me?" She asked in a quiet tone as she moved to curl into his chest a little bit, Amber moving to sit just between their legs.

Sage chuckled lightly and shrugged, a slightly sheepish grin on his face. "He's gotten me a few times...then again I've gotten him as well, so we're pretty even. He had to have had some form of life when he was out age," he mused. He nodded when the girl told him Anthony wouldn't be upset with her...good, he definitely didn't want that. He felt a grin form on his face when the girl started kissing him, more than happy to receive the attention. "Hope so," he hummed before nodding in response to her next comment. "Of course I will," he hummed. "I'm not letting you walk down there alone...and it's my child too, so I should be there." He'd probably be terrified as to how the family would react, he was pretty nervous about it now, but he did trust that Mari knew them well enough to know they wouldn't be too upset with them.

(We can skip forward to when they go tell her family at some point if you wanted to as well)

(Yeah, ofc! You can do the skip when you feel like it because I will forget lmao)
The girl chuckled softly to the boy. "I never would have guessed. He's never been anything other than... well, to put it quite frankly dull with me. I bet he gets all proud of himself when he does get you, though," she mused lightly before shaking his head. At least that ment the man wasn't miserable, though... she could see how both him and Sage would have gotten along. She did hope him and her brother would get on, too... both Sage and Anthony ment the world to her. She wanted them to get along. She smiled when he said he'd go with her... it would be easier for him if he came to tell them with her. It meant he wasn't scared of this... having a child, or that was how her family would see it at least. She leaned in to him a little bit before burying her nose into his collar, clearly just getting more tired as they went on. "They'll be happy, I'm sure... Xander will probably be exited. He likes you," she told him with a soft chuckle.

(Lol, alrighty!)

Sage wrinkled his nose slightly and nodded with an amused grunt. "He thinks he's a miracle worker," he chuckled. "It's all I'll hear about for days," he noted with amusement. He smiled slightly, remembering the younger boy and nodding. "He'll probably adore the little one," he chuckled. "Uncle Xavier," he hummed lightly. "He'll be happy." He pecked the girl on the side of the head gently then, noticing how tired she was getting. "You look exhausted," he noted. "Close your eyes for a bit. Rest," he hummed lightly. It would be good for the girl, and he certainly wouldn't mind a nap or some cuddles. He'd never say no to that.

Mari chuckled softly to the boy before shaking her head. "I suppose he is... I mean, he's sure saved you several times. He must be some kind of miracle worker," she mused lightly. "And I'd like to bet you brag about it too when you get our oh-so-smart doctor," she hummed to the boy before placing a light kiss on the soft of his neck, a slight sigh escaping her. "He'll love it... being an uncle. They both will, I'm pretty sure. And what about Att? Do you think he'd like it too? I know he's not yours, still... I've seen him with you quite a lot," she asked quietly. She chuckled when he told her to rest... that seemed like all she'd done that day, but she was, admittedly, very tired. "Fine," she sighed as she curled in and slipped her hand around his side and under his shirt like she always did. To be honest, she still wasn't sure why she did that... but it was comfortable, and the feeling of his skin against hers even in the smallest of ways was a bit of a comfort to the girl.

Sage chuckled lightly and shrugged. "I guess so. He's had his work cut out for him trying to keep me alive," he half chuckled. "He didn't really want to at first, but he grew to like me. Though, it took a long while for me to actually meet him, since I'd been unconscious when he was with me," he admitted almost sheepishly. He shrugged slightly then and hummed. "Att likes everyone. He'll love having a baby around," he hummed lightly. He smiled when the girl slipped her hand under his shirt and relaxed a bit, and closed his eyes as well. They could lay around for a bit....that was more than fine with him.
