Olivia Smith crossed her arms, a small smirk stretching over her full lips. She tilted her head, watching the young man who was playing with her former guardian's children. Hector had recovered enough to walk, and to evidently have children. He had two with an art teacher named Leslie. Little Eliza and Samuel, the two children currently wrestling with Olivia's husband. Jason and Olivia had come to Hector's house for the New Year, having spent Christmas with the Morhan twins and their families.
Jason Smith had always claimed to love children, and now Olivia was witnessing it firsthand. The thought of him playing with his own children someday had her smiling again, in a more whistful manner. She felt a gentle poke to her shoulder, and turned to see Hector's wife smiling at her.
"When are you going to tell him?" She asked softly.
Olivia blanked her face, turning innocent and wide eyes to Leslie, as though she had no idea what the older woman was talking about.
"What do you mean, Leslie?"
A predatory grin stole over the teacher's face, and Olivia felt frightened at the very sight of it. She shook her head.
"How do you know? I just found out myself?"
"I've seen it and been through it before. If you're perceptive enough, it's obvious. I doubt that Jason has noticed however." Olivia giggled at this statement.
"You're probably right."
Leslie winked at her, and walked over to her children picking Sammy up and tossing him over her shoulder, and teasing her son about bath time. Eliza, kicking in on her older sisterly duties sagely agreed, and began picking up the room. Jason stood and put his hands in his pockets, wandering over to his wife.
"You and Leslie must have had some conversation." He stated. Olivia blinked, and shook her head, wondering when her husband had started being observant.
"Why do you say that?"
"You're blushin'."
"Oh."
J leaned against the wall in front of her, green eyes full of amusement as he studied her.
"J, we're having a baby."
Jason twitched, slid against the wall, and fell.
"Dang."
