Laura: [curls into him a bit with a deep breath] I know this isn't practical.

Parrish: But you want to live here, don't you?

Laura: Yeah. I really love being away from it all, you know?

Parrish: I know. But it's a bit far, don't you think?

Laura: Yeah, it is. Especially if you have to go back and forth every day.

Parrish: Maybe we can find something closer?

Laura: Do you want to move out on Lindsay?

Parrish: No, I think we would never get the stench of Ben out of the place anyway.

Laura: [she laughs] So not adding a baby to the mix is a good idea?

Parrish: You really want him influencing our child?

Laura: There are worse people.

Parrish: True. But I was thinking maybe something in between. Like, you still own parts of the preserve, right?

Laura: [she nods once and gives a small shrug] I don't know. It feels weird going back there not an alpha and without a pack.

Parrish: Don't look at it that way. It's where your family was. [he reached around her to place his hand on her stomach as he kissed her neck] And it's our family.

Laura: [closes her eyes as she leans into him] I know. But ... it means something different now. I'm not ready to build something on those ashes quite yet.

Parrish: Okay. Well, we could see if there is something for sale near the Sheriff. [grins]

Laura: [she laughs] Yeah, I'm sure that'll go over well with my sister.

Parrish: She and Stiles can babysit.

Laura: They would do it no matter where we lived.

Parrish: And this way Sheriff and Jody can come rescue them.

Laura: Or come rescue us?

Parrish: True.

Laura: I don't want it to feel like I'm trying to crowd in on my sister's space. [she makes a face] I know, I'm being picky, but I want something that's ours, you know?

Parrish: I know.

Laura: [she sighs] Maybe we can just ... go look at places? Or get an apartment for now.

Parrish: We can do that. Maybe something on the edge of town and close to the forest.

Laura: Yeah. That'd be nice.

Parrish: As long as it's less than a half hour commute to work.

Laura: That we can do.

Parrish: So at least a two bedroom. [kisses along her neck] Maybe more.

Laura: [she laughs] Two bedroom, with spare rooms.

Parrish: Mhhm. [still kissing]

Laura: [her eyes close as she tips her neck back] You know, I can only carry one at a time.

Parrish: It was be kinda awkward if that wasn't true.

Laura: Yes, it would. Not that I'm complaining.

Parrish: But it doesn't mean we can't still do the motions.

Laura: That is true. [she turns to kiss him] But I thought we were talking about houses.

Parrish: We were.

Laura: Are we done that now?

Parrish: Two plus bedroom near the woods and 30 minutes from work. I think we're done until we line up houses to look at.

Laura: Okay. Then I guess we're in the perfect place to be distracted. [and she'll lean in to kiss him again]

Parrish: [and he will shift the mugs away to be able to lean back and make out with her on the porch]

Laura: [yes. good. lots of making out on the porch]

Parrish: [and they are far from anyone stumbling upon them]

Laura: [yep. no one around for miles]

Parrish: [so if he just gets that nice blanket off the back of the bench and lays it out on the porch for them, no one is going to care]

Laura: [nope. probably not. Nothing out there with them but rabbits and deer]

Parrish: [and rabbits know how to go forth and multiply well]

Laura: [yes they do]

Parrish: [and he will wrap them up in the blanket afterward]

Laura: [and she will curl into him nuzzling at the nape of his neck] I'm glad we're doing this.

Parrish: Having sex under the stars? [teasing]

Laura: [she laughs] Making a family.

Parrish: That too. [tilts his head for her]

Laura: [she smiles as she leaves a kiss there, staying close] I love you.

Parrish: I love you too.

Laura: [sighs as she closes her eyes] Can we stay out here?

Parrish: For as long as you want.

Laura: Good. [and with that she will close her eyes and doze off for a bit]

Parrish: [and he will curl around her, holding her and falling asleep as well]
