"I haven't quite figured out what the kids are for, yet."
The retort was delivered in good humour, and by this point Alix had relinquished her grasp on the laundry hamper, and had been busily trying to find the washer liquid so that she could actually turn the machine on. Apparently, the whole house was in need of a new organisational system. And sadly, Alix found the idea of making one rather exciting. But at that moment, Joshua was causing a distraction.
Had you asked Alix as a young student whether she saw herself as a Mum, and a somewhat failing domestic goddess, she would have laughed. Quite honestly, there hadn't been a maternal bone in her body. Children scared her. Especially babies. But Sophie had been somewhat of a surprise. A very cute surprise, but a surprise nonetheless. All of a sudden her idea of life had changed, and well - she was actually pretty happy with that now. They were bonkers, but she wouldn't be without Sophie and Luca, and the hormones even made her wonder whether a third one might be rather lovely too.
Alix cocked her head just the tiniest degree to the left when Joshua kissed her. It made her skin tingle, and he had quite the talent for making her lose track of whatever it was that she was supposed be in the middle of. And truth be told, she loved him for it. Most of the time. It wasn't quite so endearing when he used it as a get out of an argument free card. With a small chuckle, she turned around so that she was now facing him.
"You get the dishes and I get to wrestle the Oompa Lumpas into bed?" Didn't seem like a fair trade, but takeout was a reasonable reward. And with a playful smirk, the blonde reached out and poked her husband lightly on the nose. And with that playful gesture, she took a moment to take in his appearance. He looked a little different - must have been a rough trip. But she didn't dwell on it.
"Not Chinese though.. I can't face Tofu anymore this week."
