[ Who knows. Tony doesn't know what to do with his own children. Other people's kids are easy - he treats them like they're tiny versions of himself and it tends to go well. ]

But that's good, I mean, who wants normal? Slightly abnormal, sure. Anything beyond that's just being greedy.

[ He's never had to know what to do with his own children, and neither has she, and now they really, really do. It's weird. ]

Oh, sure, being greedy. Well, maybe I feel like being a little greedy. [ A pause, and then with a laugh. ] I've heard pregnancy sex is weird.

[ IT'S SO WEIRD WHAT ARE THE PROTOCOLS HERE.

Although he snorts at that a little bit. ] Can be.

[ She has literally no idea. None at all. She's going to read all of the parenting manuals and then probably conclude most of them are really wrong. ]

Thanks. [ After a rather long pause, turning her face further into his shirt. ]

[ I think most parents do that, yeah. ]

For the potentially weird pregnancy sex?

[ Yeah most likely. Parenthood is weird and hard. ]

For - everything.

[ Oh, okay. She can. Thank him for that. ]

That's... broad. But mutual, at least.

Sorry, I'm not really. [ She's pretty out of it, in some ways, still rattled and a little upended. ] On top of my game. I'd give you more specifics but. [ Just smiling, suddenly. ] Everything.

[ ... She's adorable. He's suddenly struck by how beautiful and adorable and that's not something that happens to him that often. ] Okay, I can handle being thanked for everything. It'll be tough, you know, but I think I can manage.

[ She would have no idea what to do with that revelation to him if she knew about it, just knows that he's warm and solid and she's very happy for that right now because it feels like everything sort of went spinning and she has yet to get it back. He's very good at making her feel safe, though. It's amazing sometimes just how good, just by being himself. ] I'm sure you'll find a way to survive. With some real effort and work put into it, of course, but I'm sure you will.

[ It's okay he's not sure what to do with it himself, actually. So, being the way that he is, he's going to keep it to himself, until he inevitably winds up telling her at some point later. Yay. But he snorts his amusement. ] Don't lay it on too thick, now.

[ To at least some extent, she'll probably be flattered. The rest of it - who knows until that moment? Right now she just laughs a little, tilts her forehead further against him. ] I'll lay it on as thick as I like.
