Isaac: [and he will walk in the door to see them and just laugh] Did I miss family exercise time already?

Malia: [stops and turns to see him with a smile as Cameron collides with her leg, giggling as he wraps his arms around it to get her to stand still] Hey!

Isaac: Hey. [and gun belt off and on the high top shelf out of baby reach, the bullets out and into a drawer and locked. Yup, someone knew gun safety. He's then on his knees, opening his arms for Cameron to come to him] You two have a good day?

Malia: [which Cameron will do, running at him full force] Yeah. He got to hang out with Aunt Talia today which is always awesome.

Isaac: [and Isaac has him and swings Cameron into the air with a laugh] Oh really now? Mommy got some alone time away from you, huh?

Malia: Mommy got some much needed work done. And I wanted him to get used to it for when I have to go to court next week. He hasn't been alone with Talia without me around.

Isaac: Was he good?

Malia: He was. She said it was a little touchy around nap time but once she got him down he was much better when he woke up.

Isaac: Good, that's real good. [and he's going to put Cameron down and go over to kiss his wife] And how was work?

Malia: [hums softly as she kisses him back] Good. I think I'm all set for the case next week.

Isaac: Great. One less thing to worry about this weekend.

Malia: Yep. Which means I can get in lots of baby time because I am barely going to see him next week.

Isaac: You going to be okay with that?

Malia: [she takes a deep breath] That's what we're gonna find out.

Isaac: You can do it. It just means you get the great big mommy I missed you smile when he sees you again.

Malia: [she smiles a bit] It's not him I'm worried about. [it's her missing her baby]

Isaac: [he goes to hug her, kissing her forehead] You'll survive.

Malia: I know. [she leans into him anyway, accepting the comfort while she has it] Ready for dinner?

Isaac: Oh yeah. What’d you make?

Malia: Spaghetti and meatballs since it's his new favorite thing. Even if most of the spaghetti ends up on the walls.

Isaac: You know, your dad still needs to get thanks for telling us about that stain free wall paint.

Malia: I will send him an edible arrangement.

Isaac: So tell me what else you did today.

Malia: [goes to finish setting the table] Mostly boring lawyer stuff. Depositions and briefs and all that.

Isaac: We need to find a way to make that work sound sexier.

Malia: [she smirks a bit, moving closer once Cameron is in his high chair and leans in to whisper in her husband's ear, dropping her voice an octave so that it has a nice purr to it.] I spent most of my time in the legal library, pouring over precedents and casework to find just the right case to help me win mine.

Isaac: [grins] That's better.

Malia: [she laughs before going to serve up the food for all of them, before moving to sit across from Isaac] I went to the doctor today too.

Isaac: Everything okay? [and he's going to promptly get down to eating. it was a long, long day]

Malia: Yeah. [there's a beat as she starts to fix her own plate before watching him] Remember how we talked about seeing what would happen?

Isaac: Um, depends on what part you were talking about...?

Malia: Us. And our family?

Isaac: [blinks] We talking about my father... or.... about... wait, are you...?

Malia: [she grins a bit before nodding] Yeah.

Isaac: [grins] Damn, we're good.

Malia: [she laughs] Yeah, we are.

Isaac: [and he gets up, going to pull his wife into his arms and kiss her deeply]

Malia: [sighs softly as she sinks into his arms, draping her own arms around his neck]

Isaac: I love you. I love you so, so much.

Malia: I love you too.

Isaac: You good with this though?

Malia: Yeah. I'm really good with this.

Isaac: Good. Then this is great. I can't wait to tell the guys.

Malia: [she grins] Good. I'm glad you think so.

Isaac: Alright, we need to celebrate. Finish up dinner, and then I'll go out and get is ice cream or something.

Malia: I think that's excellent idea. What do you think, Cam? [she looks over at her son and she's probably going to get spaghetti in the face]

Isaac: Hey, Cam. No. You don’t throw pasta at Mommy. Or Daddy.

Malia: [pushes the spaghetti down off her face and Cameron just grins at both of them]

Isaac: No more throwing. Eat like a good boy.

Malia: [and he will shove spaghetti in his mouth and Malia will shake her head] At least I didn't put sauce on it.

Isaac: Smart move.

Malia: [she shakes her head before nodding] But yes. Let's eat so we can celebrate.

Isaac: [and he will tell Malia about Parrish coming back and after a long meeting, Stilinski put him as Isaac's partner.] He is going to take some shit for a while, but he'll be fine.

Malia: That's good. And it's good that you'll be his partner - it'll save him a lot of flack.

Isaac: Plus I mean, come on, I get to partner with a dragon. That's kinda awesome.

Malia: That is true. Just don't get caught in the literal crossfire.

Isaac: Fire is very bad.

Malia: Yes it is. [there's a beat] Do you know how he and Lydia are doing?

Isaac: Well, he was gone a long time. They're still working on figuring out where they stand I think.

Malia: [she nods] I just need to know because Elena is asking for reports so any information you can feed me at all is good. Plus, I still think Ellie wants to steal him for herself. [but, you know, she's four.]

Isaac: I will give him the third degree tomorrow and get you all the intel.

Malia: I appreciate it. [the Laheys are a family of meddlers]

Isaac: [but it's because they are always right and have best interests. totally]

Malia: [yep. that they are.]

Isaac: Alright, I'm done with dinner. I'll be back in a few minutes. Want me to get anything in particular?

Malia: Moosetracks. And something tiny and softserve for him. We can see if he likes it.

Isaac: Alright. Text me if you want to add to the list. [and he will go off to get sundaes for everyone]

Malia: [and she will clean up Cameron and go sit with him in the living room, getting her cuddle time in on the couch until she can't next week]
