It was a week before Logan was going to be gone most of the time. The idea made him nervous. He loved his wife, and he wanted to be with her and their soon to be daughter as much as possible. He spent as much time at home as he could and then he took a deep breath before he arrived home. Once he was there he went up the stairs and smiled as he spoke, "Tali, baby. I am home early. I was thinking maybe we could do some baby shopping." He took a deep breath and looked about for her. He hoped that she wasn't asleep. He wanted to be with his wife.

Natalia had been thinking about napping, she was just really tired all the time, she was told it was normal and all that but as someone who'd always had energy, the idea of constantly wanting to nap it was odd, this morning she'd been out getting breakfast and found herself fighting the overwhelming urge to curl up on one of the tables for a quick cat nap. She got home and had her breakfast and went to make the bed, she managed to do it without stopping to lay down and then just did some cleaning up around the house. Little things that she didn't think were too much work. They had a house elf, but the elf mostly was there for cooking and laundry. She was in her room working on her column when she heard Logan's voice from downstairs. She smiled and stood up, heading down the stairs. "You know she kicks like crazy whenever she hears your voice." She informed him, kissing him gently. "alright, I was going to wait until the weekend to do the shopping but we can do it today."

Logan looked up the stairs when he heard her voice. She was beautiful. She was always beautiful. She looked tired though, but he could see it. He gave her a small smile as he went running up the stairs to her. He ran his hand over her tummy and kissed her. He then leaned over and kissed her tummy and spoke softly to his daughter, "Don't kick your Mommy so much." He looked up to her apologetically and then continued to rub her tummy as he asked, "Should I stop talking so much?"
He laughed a bit as he moved her hair from her face and asked, "Are you sure, Talia. You look a bit tuckered out. We can always climb into bed and take a nap instead."

Natalia smiled at him as he came running up the stairs. "Hey Honey." She said, kissing him. "I like it when she kicks, it keeps me awake and reminds me 'hey you're going to be a mum soon'." She smiled. She also really liked that the baby recognized Logan's voice already. She was going to have him record some things, just sooting things, so that the baby would always know his voice even when he was working. "Nope, you should talk more." She said honestly.
"No, I'm fine, if I nap now I won't sleep tonight, let's go spend obnoxious amounts of money." Natalia smiled. "Well let me change first, I've been cleaning and I smell like cleaning product."

Logan laughed at the reason she liked to have the baby kick. He shook his head and leaned down to kiss Natalia one more time. He toyed with a stray piece of her hair as he spoke, "Well, you're going to be a Mum whether she kicks or not. Save yourself the little pains." He laughed a bit and then continued to rub her tummy in a smoothing gesture. He did it often as a comforting gesture. He wasn't sure if he, Natalia, or the baby was more comforted by it though. Logan grinned as he was told to talk more and he nodded as he spoke, "I will start talking you both to sleep then." He laughed a bit more and rana hand through his messy hair.
She said no and Logan just sighed a bit. He hoped that she was going to do and be well. He knew she needed rest. He nodded and let her go so that she could change. He leaned down and kissed her tummy again as he spoke, "Be good fro Mummy. She loves you enough to have been carrying you this long."

Natalia smiled. "I know... but I like it." She smiled. "And it just gives me reasons to embarass her when she gets lder." She joked. She looked down at her grubby outfit, she didn't like to get dressed up for a day around the house, right now she was in sweatpants and a tank top that was not meant for someone her size, it was stretched tight across her stomach. "If I go out like this my mother will have me strung up by my toes." She shook her head and smiled. She looked at Logan's hand as he rubbed her stomach and bit her lip.
"That and I don't have much of a choice, St. Mungos says it's all or nothing." She joked lightly, going to the bedroom. She got out of her grungy clothes and into something more suited for leaving the house. She quickly put on a bit of make up and went about brushing her hair.

Logan just laughed gently at Natalia as she said she liked it. He wondered if it hurt at all to carry her and feel her kick at her. She spoke about her mother and Logan laughed brightly as he spoke, "Well, you do what you must. I should even probably wash up some so I don't embarass my wife or in laws. I would hate to bring them anymore embarassment then knocking up and marrying their daughter.: He gave her a sly grin and then smiled as he patted her tummy.
Logan ran a brush through his hair and spoke, "Well, they don't know. She might jsut be impatient like me and show up early. That doesn't mean she has to take all nine months. They just suggest it."

"Well Like you said the other day, you married me before you knocked me up, therefore we've made it one step higher than my parents." She smiled. "And you could never embarass me love, I'm the one who spend a day out on the town with my shirt on inside out." She was losing her mind as she got more pregnant, she was just doing little things, like leaving her notebook in the fridge or walking off at a lunch with her mother and leaving her purse alone at the table (nothing had been taken) But still. She fluffed her hair and turned to Logan with a smile.
"This is true. It's altogether possible that she'll show up early, but with any luck she'll stay in there long enough to get all her parts put together properly." Her youngest sister had come a bit too early and had to spend extra time in the hospital, and Natalia didn't want that for their baby.

Logan grinned as he spoke, "Well, I like to do things te right way. I want to make sure I got you all to my self for a little while before we brought another being into this world. What can I say? I am a bit selfish." he thought about the day she'd worn her shirt inside out. He'd told her wwhen he'd realized it and then she'd been embarassed. It wasn't a big deal to him. to prove it the next week her wore his robes inside out to work. He loved natalia, and he didn't want her to feel like a fool. he'd told all hsi students it was so he didn't ruin the outside of his new robes. Funnily enough, some believed him.
Logan shuttered as he looked to her and spoke, "Limbs can be missing if she isn't after then they say?" Worried daddy came out as he looked to ehr and spoke, "Just stay there and incubate if bad things will happen, little darling."

Natalia smiled and kissed his cheek. "Well being selfish is perfectly alright in my book." She said, rubbing her stomach She lifted her shirt to look at the bump, it wasn't terribly huge but she still had a ways to go. "I'm fine with the size until the stretch marks show up." She made a face and pulled the shirt back down. She stood up and checked her purse to make sure she had everything, she'd cleaned it out the other day, then left the house without her wallet, wand and the notebook she always kept with her. She nodded when it was, infact, fully stocked. She hefted it over her shoulder and looked over at Logan.
"Well she has her limbs by this point, I'm pretty sure, it'sjust all the internal stuff that she still needs." Natalia nodded. "and they have to be developed enough, I read that anytime after 37 weeks the baby and all it's parts are fully developed and they can come out safely." She said, she had a lot of time to read.

Logan laughed a bit as he hugged her close and spoke, "Yeah, well you need to be a bit selfish here lately too. I'm worried you aren't resting enough." He kissed her forehead and watched as she looked at the bump. He laughed a bit as he spoke, "I think I have a Muggle remedy for that once it does begin to show." He grinned as he helped her pull her shirt back down as he spoke, "You will still be beautiful either way." He nipped at her neck and then let her go to her purse. He watched her as she began to go through her purse. He grinned as he spoke, "All there, my love?"
She spoke about limbs and he laughed as he patted her tummy and spoke, "We will talk about it after 37 weeks then, my little baby. I do not want a goofy baby." He laughed a bit as he kissed his wife's neck again and spoke, "We better go before we get too distracted."

She ran a hand over her stomach and smiled. ”I’m resting plenty. The only work I do is sitting up and writing or knitting.” She smiled and nodded. ”Good, I don’t mind the getting big part,” Okay so really she did, she didn’t bother to hide it either but heaven help him if he tried to argue with her. ”But the stretch marks really did to me.” She nodded. She smiled at him. ”Yeah I got it all.” She nodded. She bit her lip when she realized she was infact missing her lip stick. She made a face and went over to grab it. ”okay now it’s all there.”
She smiled. ”Yeah we should.” She agreed, looking at herself in the mirror again. She pouted lightly but just reminded herself that at the end of it she got a baby and that was going to make it entirely worth it. She headed for the door and smiled at Logan.

Logan laughed a bit as she told him he was sleeping enough. She looked to him and he smiled as he spoke, "Well, who knows how much resting is needed to really get through to a baby." He grinned a bit as he looked to him and asked, "You do mind, but I won't go there. I will nod my head and agree like a good husband." He grinned to her and then stood and ran his hands over her back gently. When she said it was all there he opened the door so that they could go out.
She looked in the mirror and he ran a hand over her back and kissed the crook of her neck and whispered, "You are the most beautiful wife, ever." He smiled as he pulled away, pulled on his jacket, and then waited for her to step out before him.
