Hannah immediately turned in her seat to look at Elise, smiling at her. Speaking to her just as gently.

"It's okay, it won't be too long." She reassured her, even as the little one pouted. Though they were lucky Elise wasn't the type to throw a tantrum easily. She was an easy-going child who seemed to understand the concept of waiting for the most part.

Turning back in her seat, she closed her eyes for a moment.

"I got us the vegetarian spring rolls with sweet chilli sauce. They came as a part of the meal pack." She answered Lucas' question softly, now gazing out of her window.

"And I got us the Singapore noodles, beef with black bean, and Mongolian lamb. That was the smallest deal they had." Yep. There was definitely going to be leftovers.

[sly_god]

He merely chuckled as she named off the entrees. "I have to wonder what their definition of small is, if that is their small family pack." He replied, sparing a momentary glance at Hannah. Though he was unable to resist, reaching over to lightly stroke her neck as she looked out the window.

"Are you alright, dearest?" He asked, just wanting to be certain that she wasn't going to a dark place on him. Not that it was something she would normally do, but as a psychologist aware of the traumas of her past, he couldn't help but keep an eye out for any signs.

[sly_fox]

She shuddered a little, her neck being somewhat sensitive to touch. Her gaze returned to him and she placed her hand on her shoulder reassuringly. He really was good to her, and she appreciated that he looked out for her. Some women were not nearly as lucky to have a husband like Lucas. Indeed, a lot had happened in her past, but none of it was on her mind at present. And it it was, she knew she could talk to him.

"I'm alright, just feeling a little tired. I stayed up a little too late last night." She grinned, squeezing his shoulder. Her actions insisting that she was fine.

[sly_god]

He merely nodded, assured she was fine. He knew she wasn't the best liar, so he had a tendency to be able to read her if she were being untruthful. However he just smiled, glad that it was something as simple as exhaustion.

Thus the moment he had to stop for a red light, he leaned over and placed a kiss on the side of Hannah's neck.

"If things get too tedious at my folks tonight, we can cut out early. I'll make an excuse about work if I need too. It's not as though they can check."

[sly_fox]

Reaching out, she stroked his arm lightly and leaned in to kiss his cheek in return, clearly appreciating his concern for her. Really, she considered herself incredibly lucky to have him, and couldn't imagine her life any other way.

"Alright. It should be fine, though. It's my own fault for getting hooked on that silly crime show." She laughed, kissing his cheek again just for good measure.

[sly_god]

"Well those shows are meant to be addictive." He joked, looking in the rear view mirror to check on Elise since she had grown quiet.

"Looks like she nodded off." He said, nodding his head toward the back seat, where their daughter was fast asleep in her car seat.

"Darling, I know we have just settled down into a routine, now that you working...but have you considered possibly having another child?" He asked as it had been a thought on his mind for a while. They weren't getting any younger and Elise was growing so fast. Plus both he and Hannah had siblings and he found that he wanted that for Elise too.

Though of course, he no intention of pushing the issue. He was merely curious. He was more than willing to accept whatever answer, Hannah gave him on the subject.

[sly_fox]

She laughed. It was true, and they succeeded in their tendency to be addictive, if her marathon last night was anything to go by.

Turning in her seat again, she looked at the sleeping Elise with a gentle smile. The poor kid was so excited about toys and the puppies in the pet store they'd visited earlier... She wore herself out. A soft "aw" escaped her lips, and she immediately knew to lower her voice from here on out, so as not to wake her up.

There was a long, thoughtful pause before she answered his question. Of course, she'd thought about it. She wanted Elise to have a sibling. While she didn't have as big a family as Lucas did, she felt it would be good for Elise. After her parents passed away, Hannah had her brother to turn to for comfort. Not that she was thinking that history would repeat itself, but she wanted Elise to have that extra person to potentially turn to as well.

"Of course. Someday, I think it'd be nice. Maybe a boy this time. A little brother for Elise."

[sly_god]

Lucas chuckled again, reaching out to clasp hands with her, entwining their fingers, before lifting her hand up to place a kiss on the back. He couldn't say why, but felt happy to know that she had been considering it. Children hadn't originally be a part of the plan, nor had marriage, but he couldn't imagine what his life would be like without Hannah and Elise.

As overlooked as he could feel at times in his large family, he still had fond memories of the times he shared with most of his siblings. As much as he wanted to punt two of his brothers, he still couldn't imagine not having them around at all.

"Good, just let me know when you are ready then." He said, glancing over to her with a smile. He could certainly wait until she felt the time was right. It was only fair, since she would be the one to have to carry the baby around for nine months.

[sly_fox]

If they weren't in the car driving, she'd be wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a kiss. Nothing that had happened in her life over the past twi years had been planned at all. She never thought of herself as someone who would get married, and never considered herself to be parent material. And yet, here she was with an amazing husband and daughter whom she adored.

"I will. Maybe sometime next year, we can start trying." She answered, looking more than pleased. She couldn't help looking at him with love and adoration.

[sly_god]

He gave the back of her knuckles another kiss, while giving her hand a gentle squeeze. There were times when he inexplicably felt undeserving of the happiness he currently had. Though he had no clue why that should be. He wasn't a particularly bad person, even if he had been a bit of a cocky jerk in high school and college. It was just a strange and foreign feeling.

Though he managed to keep those thoughts of uncertainty and darkness away this time around. He was happy and he wasn't going to let anything ruin that for him. Thus as they reached another stop light, he leaned over and quickly pressed a kiss to her lips.

"Alright then. In the meantime, we can practice." He joked a bit crudely, knowing she'd get his meaning.

[sly_fox]

There were times when Hannah herself felt overwhelmingly shocked, wondering why on Earth someone would marry her. These were feelings she'd never quite conveyed to anyone as she tended to shake them off quickly, knowing full well that she was being ridiculous. Not even her husband knew, as she was pretty sure it'd come off sounding like an insult. An insult even she couldn't quite explain.

Hannah laughed, kissing his cheek and running a finger down his upper arm, looking rather sly and impish all the sudden.

"Practice is good enough."
