So, um...Dad. (open to Stark-ish family and Remi)

[soulstealingstark]

The test results weren't changing. The little parasitical organism growing inside Alexa wasn't going away. The hormones were getting worse, as evidenced by Alexa's keen strategy of kicking Remi in the nuts to rescue him from a really bad situation. She had also noticed a slight...bump going on where her stomach was and guessing by Remi's near inability to look up from her chest these days she was pretty sure that her stomach wasn't the only thing that had swollen.

There was no denying it now. Alexa was with Atlantean spawn. Do they make booties for wingy feet?

"Remi?" she peeked in at him. He'd been having a lot of Tank Time since the whole ball-kicking incident.

She smiled.

"This doesn't ruin my life in any way. Might ruin the lives of some other people while I'm crabby, but not mine. I think a little ginger with wingy feet might be kind of neat to have around. Then you guys can have some daddy and me tank time at some point. That might be cute."

Alexa offers him a hand.

"Siblings are difficult in any situation or circumstance sometimes. You haven't lost anyone, just temporarily disconnected. And you're gaining a new person. You know, the one that's slowly taking over my midsection."

"Well, can I deflect the crabbiness at other people? You'll have to let me know the frequency for my shields."

He took her offered hands and tugged a little for her to come closer.

"So, is it too early to ask for a water birth?" He was teasing. Slightly.

[soulstealingstark]

She gladly moved closer to him.

"I was actually thinking that a water birth would make sense, just in case our kid is more Atlantean than not."

Once she was close enough, he wrapped his arms around her. "Well, that's decided on. Do I get in the bunker before you tell your family?"

[soulstealingstark]

"No, you tell them with me. I need you." She hugged tightly to him. "I love the way you smell when you're right out of the tank, you know."

[aqua_gambit]

"All right. I'll go with you. When I'm in something other than a Speedo." He was not going to make Tony Stark jealous of his daughter landing such a catch. He placed a soft kiss on her temple.

"Then I built my tank right. Without added stink."

[soulstealingstark]

"Pants would be a good idea," she says softly and sighs fairly happily at the kiss. Things feel mostly normal.

"I asked my dad to come over so he should be here fairly soon. I'd offer to help you get dressed but I think that might be counter-intuitive."

[aqua_gambit]

"Shirt optional?" Though he glanced around to figure out where the clean clothes got stowed away. A shelf somewhere. As he twisted to look around, one his hands slid up to under Alexa's breasts.

He looked back at Alexa and blinked. He cleared his throat and slid his hand back down. "Yes, it probably would..."

[soulstealingstark]

"Later, I promise." Alexa smiled at him and then kissed him softly. "You are most comfortable sans shirt so I say dress as you are happiest."
