Ethan looked back into Minerva's blue eyes, returning her smile, and nodded. He did think it would be a good thing and that things would work out.. it was just something he needed to get used to for a minute. And the fact that she seemed so happy about it helped, making him more readily inclined to feel that as well. As she rested her head against him, he lightly rubbed his hand up and down her arm as he had his arm around her. "A big brother.." he mused aloud. He supposed it was hard to really envision it, but he tried and it seemed a heartwarming picture. Then he chuckled as she continued. Of course she'd want a shirt for him. "That will be really cute."

Turning his head, he glanced down at her as she looked at him. Hm. That might be an issue. "Right.. we'll have to figure something out." Funny how when he first got this little cottage, it was more than enough room, almost felt lonely when he was here by himself. Not it just wasn't big enough even after the expansions he and his father did. "I'll talk to my dad about it, after we tell them our news." He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Hopefully we can do more to the house, I'd rather not have to move." This was too much like home to him now and he was very much attached to it.

He smiled again as she kissed him and he looked into her eyes as she touched his face. Listening to her speak, he thought over her words before nodding. "Yeah, I suppose you're right. Maybe it will be easier to do things this way, to have them so close together." It had seemed like more work, and maybe it would be, but she seemed to have very good points too. "This will all work out for the best." He nodded as she looked at the time. "I need to take a quick shower, so yeah, we'd better get going." He kissed her again and got up from the couch. Ethan was kind of dirty after battling the plant and really wanted to look nice for their anniversary dinner. Hopefully they had time. He smiled a bit as he mentioned his mom. He thought she'd be more excited about it this time, not that she didn't grow into that last time. "Maybe we could have them over for dinner or something soon and tell them then."
