Dan nodded as she explained herself but he actually wasn't upset or anything. He was fine with hearing about it. Then, she laid her head back down on his chest and asked what he meant. "I just mean..." he looked back up at the ceiling, "I could see how you felt about her, I guess. And I know it's not Niks kid. That's different..." he was afraid to get into this topic. More than afraid, he was completely horrified by it. He cleared his throat, "but... I'm sure she'll be lovely," he bent down to kiss her forehead, "just like you," he added.
He took his hand from her cheek and wrapped it around her again, pulling her close to him once more. "maybe like me too, I guess," he muttered and then shut his eyes tight. Those tears again. What was the matter with him!?

Irina looked up at him, confused. "Nik's child?" she asked incredulously. Why would Nikolai have a child? Sure, Magi and he were obviously intimate; the blow out at their place would not have happened if they weren't. But Magi was a very careful person and with her changing career it wasn't exactly good timing. But, she supposed accidents would happen. "Well, I wish Magi all the best when that happens, she'll need it," she said with a wry chuckle. She tried not to think of Nikolai as a father; that would be way too weird.
"Hey," she said, scooting up a little so she could kiss his cheek. "If and or when this vision comes true, you'll be fine. You'd have nine whole months to prepare at least," she told him softly, trying to sound reasonable. He'd be incredibly well tuned to any child of theirs' emotions for certain, and that'd be nice to have at least.

Dan froze for a moment but was glad that Irina didn't dwell on his slip up. See? This was one of the exact reasons why depression wasn't good for anyone. He nodded, "and they'd have us too. I just meant that I know it's not... someone elses," he muttered, swallowing hard and trying not to let that emotion overcome him again. It was hard, though, with this talk of some beautiful blue eyed baby...
Then she scooted up and kissed his cheek, saying how he'd be fine and how he'd have nine months to prepare. "How do you always know what I'm thinking?" he said softly. Then he kissed her lips but pulled back quickly, squeezing his eyes shut. He tilted his head down, "I'm... just..." his voice was cracking again, "worried. What if... she's like... me?"

Irina nodded. "Nikolai and Magi would definitely need all the help they can get," she said half-jokingly. The idea of her brother and a baby was just surreal to her, especially with the drama starting at the beginning of his and Magi's relationship. She could tell her was still worried, and her thoughts proved correct when he asked what they would do if their baby was like him. "Then she'd learn from the best how to understand her ability," she said, watching his closed eyes with a loving look. "You'd know exactly what she was going through, and you'd guide her through the worst of it. And then you'll both have me and I'll always be there," she told him, reaching up to touch his cheek gently. "She could be like me too. Or Louisa," she added, a half smile creeping onto her face. A baby like Louisa? Man, that was a lovely thought.

Dan nodded, even though Irina was half joking. He knew it was true, and he'd give Niko and Magi anything they needed. He'd give up his entire life if it meant helping them. At least for a time, until they got on their feet. But taking care of his own kid... with Irina... well, that was a shocking thought, even more so then what Nik was really going through.
Irina answered him with that wisdom that she always seemed to have always knowing what to say. He didn't open his eyes yet or lift his head, though. She was right, though. He would be able to guide her through it, wouldn't she? He took in a deep breath as she touched his cheek and looked up at her, "what if I don't want to share you with anyone?" he said. He had meant for it to be a tease but it didn't come across that way at all. He realized he may have been a little serious. The thought of the baby being like Ri was slightly scary, though, considering how insane she could be. But like Louisa... well, that would be nice sometimes and horrifying other times.

Irina smiled softly when Dan said he didn't want to share her with anyone. "You don't have to share me with anyone for a long time if you don't want to darling," she promised, gently bumping her nose against his chin. "Besides, in that mini vision I looked several years older - lightyears away from now," she added with a tiny shrug. They hadn't even discussed post-graduation yet; a baby talk was years away. Dan would play Quidditch professionally and be amazing, and Irina would have her adventures as a cursebreaker. They both deserved that time to boost themselves up in their career field. "Let's talk about something else, like how at the Quidditch tryouts that Wasps captain was oogling you like a prized hive when you tried out for Keeper against him," she suggested with a grin. Dan had looked like a natural out there, and even from the distance Irina could tell how impressed the professionals were. It was only a matter of time before he was snatched up by a team; the selfish part in her hoped it would be a team in England.

Lightyears away. That was a nice thought. But what if it wasn't the first one? Magi and Nik had gotten pregnant on accident, what if that happened to Dan and Rina, too? That wasn't something he wanted to worry about. No, no, no. She shook his head, trying to make the thought disappear. Then she talked about Quidditch trying to change the subject and he smiled softly at her, his eyes still furrowed with worry. He chuckled slightly, "I really thought he was going to lick me at one point. It was good to have you there," he leaned forward to kiss her lips gently, "I hope you'll be at all my games and stuff, even when I'm super famous and all that," he muttered, kissing her again. He felt a little numb now, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. he needed to stop thinking so hard, stop feeling so much. Not that kissing her helped much with the feelings issue, but it was still a nice feeling at least.

Irina could almost see those gears whirring away in his brain. "Dan?" she questioned, then a realization dawned on her. They had gone far enough physically, several times now, that a baby would have been a possibility. Luckily, after the first time, Irina had gone to the Head Nurse, who knew of her clairvoyance and was an excellent confidante to boot. "After our time in the igloo, I went to the nurse as a precautionary. She has me on something that....let's just say prevents teenaged pregnancies," she told him, hoping she sounded reassuring. "Because I do very much enjoy when we do that, and want to keep doing that, but with no babies coming out," she added with a light giggle. "I will be your loudest and most obnoxious fan my love. People on the opposing team will probably hate me, and I might get into a few heated arguments, but you rest assure I will be there decked out in whatever team you play fors colors, front and center," she promised, grinning at him. She wasn't nearly as bad competitive wise when she was just watching Quidditch thankfully, but she was passionate and loud at Nikolai's games already and she was sure that would grow exponentially wherever Dan ended up playing.

Irina must have read his mind because she assured him that they wouldn't have to worry about that. He knew it wasn't always certain, though, but he trusted her. He trusted them together, hopefully that was enough. He nodded, "I know, I know. We'll be all right. You're always one step ahead of me aren't you, babe?" he wanted to kiss her again, but he waited for her to finish answering him about being his biggest fan and all. He laughed, his smile getting wide again. "You can get in as many arguments as you want, as long as you Win them," he chuckled. "Nah, but really, I'll just be happy to have you there. Come here," he tugged on her waist again in an attempt to pull her on top of him. "I just..." he took a deep breath and let his eyes find hers again, "I just want to love you. That's it. That's the only emotion I want to feel." He was accepting that his eyes were stuck in this misty haze for the night, there was no point fighting it.

Irina giggled a little bit as he pulled her on top of him. "Babe, you'll soon realize if you haven't already I do tend to pick arguments I know I can win," she teased. She knew if Dan was recruited as a Keeper on a team he'd obviously be the best, and she'd argue that to any opposing fan until she was blue in the face if necessary. She leaned in and kissed him twice, once softly and once for a little bit longer. She pulled back a little, watching him as he said he only wanted to love her and feel only that. "Daniel Hoh, am I turning you into a romantic?" she asked with a small smile. She reached up with one hand to tangle her fingers in his curls again. "But that's one of the many things I love about you; you're so multi-dimensional. You feel everything around you and, for the most part, you're able to handle it very well. I can't promise you always loving me will be easy. You know how I get immediately after a bad vision, and you know I can be a little...hot-headed shall we say?" She paused, leaning forward to kiss him again. "But know this, and remember this. No matter where you are, no matter how you feel, whether it's scared, or sad, or angry, or confused. I will always be there for you, loving you, making sure every day you know how loved and how amazing you are. If that's okay with you of course." She leaned her chin on his chest, her bright eyes watching him closely. She sounded sappy, sappier than Irina Krum ever though she could sound. But in that moment, she didn't care.

Dan smiled, but it still wasn't complete. He was still in a dark place, even if he had this little glimmer of light in his arms. She asked if she was turning him into a romantic and he sighed dramatically, shaking his head and not answering. Soon she was talking again, though, about how he felt everything around him and mostly handled it well. Hah, she had no idea. Then she spoke about how loving her wouldn't be easy, and he sadly knew that was true, too. He sighed, nodding his head to agree with her as she kissed him.
She told him to remember that no matter what, she was always there for him, loving him. He looked at her with intense eyes and nodded, "that's okay with me," he agreed, his brows furrowing, "as long as you let me hide every once in a while. But I'll always come back. I promise," he tightened his arms around her and leaned his head back, closing his eyes. "Promise," he added again, just for good measure. There they stayed until the sad time of departure, but he was actually grateful for it. He needed to think. He needed to be alone. He needed to sort out himself.
