Sam is holding Astrix like a baby , all swaddled up in a blanket - he fixes karter with an ELABORATELY affectionate look. " oh honey look at her" he breathes , arms rocking the cat " i want another child, "
EYES fixated on the feline ( she looks annoyed if he’s being honest ) before he turns his attention back to his husband. He’d be lying if he said it didn’t at least look endearing but given how ASTRIX could be sometimes, he’s banking on her SCRATCHING him soon if he isn’t careful, a CHUCKLE escaping him as he goes back to washing the dishes for a moment, CLEANING the last of the residue off the two plates from dinner this evening before TURNING and shutting the water off, HANDS dried momentarily as he tilts his head with a playful grin on his face.
He approaches, hand gently running along Astrix’s head before he places a small loving kiss on Sam’s cheek before turning and leaning his back against the counter, HEAD tilting with arms crossed before he speaks again, THE COYNESS of his tone reaching all the way to his eyes as he continues.
“WELL baby, it TAKES two t’tango. Y’want ‘nother KID then yer gonna need t’work with me yeah?”
HE LAUGHS A LITTLE, humming softly to himself before turning to the sink for a second, AN EXHALE passing his lips for a moment before he focused back on Sam with a smile, WATCHING him with a small sense of adoration as he imagine the same scene before him but with a REAL child as opposed to a feline one. HIS HEART WARMS for a second before puffing a bit.
“Y’know, y’d be a good dad, Sammu. Y’might not be sure how t’do it, but BEIN’ a parent’s one a those jobs that don’ come with a MANUAL babe.”
