(In their bedroom, by Tupac's bed)
Leslie smiles, stroking his hair as he nods "Mommy and daddy loves you, little brave". He reaches out and lays a gentle hand on his love's arm as they sit for a few moments and watch him go to sleep
Eowama sits watching him and stroking Les's shoulder gently, then gets up slowly and beckons for him to follow her, and goes out on the balcony to look for some wine
Leslie nods and gets up, grabbing a bottle and putting it down
Eowama pours herself some wine and settles back "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want first?"
Leslie thinks as he pours himself a glass, sipping it.. then glancing at her, he more than sips, about half the glass and nods "OK, the bad news first, so we can get that part over"
Eowama grins "I haven't menstruated, and it's a month and a half now"
Leslie grins, the relief is all too visible in him, even in the small shake of the hand holding the glass.. shifting in the chair, looking at her and trying not to grin as a fool "Oh, yeah.. I guess that is bad news, though you are a little early for menopause.."
Eowama chuckles "Yeah... no, I'm usually pretty regular, so..."
Leslie nods, putting down the glass and nods, looking intently at her, smiling lovingly "So, with the bad news out of the way.. or.. were there more bad news?"
Eowama looks at him, her face a blank "Well, that depends... What if I'm pregnant? Would you want to keep the child or not?"
Leslie nods slowly, understanding, then looking down for a moment, before looking at her again, silent for a moment, then one more "If you are pregnant.. and with Tupac growing up.. I think I would want for him to have a little brother or sister before the age difference becomes too great.. but even more so.. Yes, I would, very much.. but while it is our decision together, it must be both, and you have the final say, over your body"
Eowama grins from ear to ear "Well then! The good news is that I'm probably pregnant!" She laughs "It could have been either good or bad new, depending on how you took it. I'm glad you're happy with it, because I am too!"
Leslie looks so relieved his eyes well up a bit and his smile turns into a grin, that of a fool, as he gets up and holds out his arms for her, inviting her to hug "To say I am happy is a huge understatement, love!"
Eowama gets up, smiling and falls into his arms "Oh, i'm so glad you're happy with it! I was afraid you would be upset!"
Leslie hugs her tightly, holding her close and shaking his head "I couldn't be happier, love! I.. I just.. gods, I love you so so so much!" His lips search for hers as he hold her tight and deep in his embrace
Eowama raises her head and presses her parted lips to his gently, tenderly, her heart floating as an enormous weight is lifted from it
Leslie feeling the gentleness in her kiss, responding in kind, even if his chest is about to burst from love and happiness, and in this moment, much as his highest wish was to give her a daughter, no matter what, their child would be welcomed and loved.. and he tastes her sweet lips as he holds his one true love in his arms
Eowama kisses him soundly then pulls back, smiling "I dreamt it was a girl... but she didn't have black hair like mine. It was more rusty color... almost reddish orange actually. Is that what your hair was like when you were younger?"
Leslie laughs, releasing the hold of her, while his hands remain on her arms "Me, two cousins, my grandfather and.. yeah.. family tradition, to say the least.."
