There were things Lua enjoyed about the winter season. The snow that blanketed the area, and the booties she had to put on their beloved pets that were such a handful, like children. Speaking of children, the redhead had realized she was three months along. And, as James was working on his own things (to which Lua hoped it was what he would be getting her for Christmas), she decided this was the moment she was going to reveal the big gift. The only gift she was most excited for giving was the knowledge of her pregnancy. There was no lingerie, no fancy watches or shades, or even canvases that survived the ancient ages. Underneath the tree were a few thin boxes of clothes, and supplies to help him with his artistry hobbies. The four stockings that hung underneath the tree turned into five -- a smaller stocking that had yet to be decorated.
While James was out, she took the opportunity to dress the dogs in shirts (to which Sav hated and growled, "oh shut up, you big baby!" and Kronos licked her face happily as he was given attention) that adorned the phrase "I'M GOING TO BE A BROTHER!", knowing that the dogs always greeted the artist when he entered the door before she ever had a chance to be the first to greet him. Upon being nudged by each dog as they got up, scattering to the front door, each battling another to be the first one to greet their father, Lua sat behind in the living area, chewing her thumb anxiously for a few moments, listening to the sound of his voice before she got up and poked her head into the hallway, watching him curiously.
