Mira had no problem buckling Joey in. He immediately snuggled with Minion, talking quietly amongst himself. She slowly shut the door then pressed a hand to her lower back, rubbing her palm in a circle. “Agh…” She bit her lip then looked at Ulric. “Been having back pains lately.” she informed. Normal for pregnancy, especially with how far along she is.

Stepping closer now, Ulric reaches out and presses his hand carefully against Mira’s back. “Looks like it’s your turn for a massage then.”

“Mm, already know your hands can work wonders…” Mira teased with a sly grin. She started chuckling and let her arm slip around his waist. Leaning her cheek against his shoulder, Mira hummed. “Tonight?” she asked, hoping he’d say yes. A massage by her fiancé sounded like heaven right about now.

“Nah, I was thinking tomorrow.” That grin on his face, the way he said it, was too teasing to be serious. “Of course tonight, Star.”

Mira snorted a laugh and bumped her hip to his. “You ass.” she chuckled, teasing just as much as Ulric was. Mira leaned up to give him a kiss, smiling against his lips. And when she pulled back at the slightest, she grinned. “…I love you.”

She turned her head and grinned at the sight of the truck. And thankful, honestly. Had this been perhaps a month ago, Mira would have agreed to walking, but…with a growing belly, it was getting harder to walk long distances. Well, harder to do a lot of things, really. “And boy, am I happy to see it.” she chuckled.

Patting Joey’s back a few more times, Mira walked over to the truck and opened the back door to get the little guy settled in his car seat.

Chuckling to himself, Ulric’s soon by Mira’s side if she needed any help.

A Wrinkle in Time

Mira held out the longer bit of hair on one side. She didn’t want to cut it short enough where the scar was visible. Not like the other side where her whole ear was exposed. So Mira sighed and let go of the strands, letting them fall just below her chin. She looked much more recognizable for Ulric now that her hair was cut in the fashion he was use to.

She let the scissors drop to the floor and shed a few more tears as she saw herself in the mirror. All of her hair…most of it, at least. All gone.

Mira could feel the light hand on her shoulder. But looking into the mirror, she saw nobody behind her. Not a soul. Sniffling once, Mira continued to look into the glass. “……….dad?” she asked very quietly.

Now that she’s set the scissors down, Ulric pulls Mira back against him gently, arms around her shoulders loosely. Even if she couldn’t feel him, didn’t know who he was, he was here.

Her reddened blue eyes became wide, stumbling back a step as she felt her damp body being pulled in for some sort of hug. She could feel that. Someone was in the room with her. Even if she was imagining things, Mira wanted to believe she wasn’t alone. Maybe an angel.

And then, standing there amongst the strands of hair that lay across the bathroom floor, Mira began to cry quietly. She had deliberately cut her own wrists, her hair was gone, and yet…someone was still willing to hug her. Imagined or not.

Mira winced a little when the metal door hit the ground, but smiled when Ulric joined her, thankful he was able to help out. “Thanks, babe.” She took a few steps forward and locked the garage door with the key, then shoved them in her back pocket.

“Okay, think this little guy needs a nap.” She smiled softly, patting very gently at Joey’s back. Her hand rubbed in small circles, hoping it would get him to sleep quicker. “Did you walk here, Ulric?” she asked, looking around for his truck.

“Welcome, Star.” Pointing out the truck, Ulric shakes his head with a grin. “With those two? Nah, that was easier.”

Mira let her eyes close as she smiled warmly. Her hand slowly rubbed across his chest as she hummed. “Mm…I love you too, babe…” Her voice had become tired - especially from all the laughing. And she knew it must have been even worse for Ulric. The thought made her chuckle.

Sighing, she shifted her head against him to look down toward her belly. “We love you too, Emma…”

“Both of you,” Ulric agrees sleepily, trying not to yawn. It’s an effort, at least, even if it doesn’t quite succeed.

The tiredness in Mira’s voice doesn’t help too much either.

“Mmmm…” she smiled sleepily. Her fingers kept rubbing and trailing over Ulric’s chest until they slowed down, more and more until her hand came to rest. She snuggled the side of her cheek to his skin and listened to the sound of his heartbeat; like a lullaby sending her off to sleep.

And then she felt it. One small little kick within her belly which had been pressed up close to Ulric’s side. Mira smiled warmly, not saying another word. That little kick was more than enough.

There was no way he couldn’t feel that, lifting his head and watching Mira with a grin on his face. A little bit more awake with the surprise of it, Ulric hasn’t said anything, isn’t even sure of what he’d even say in response.

Mira decided to be silent, letting the moment be. She nuzzled her forehead up against Ulric’s chest and smiled all the way into her sleep. Feeling little Emma moving around in there was one of the best goodnight wishes she could ask for. And hopefully one of the best presents for Ulric. Her fiancé and their baby girl all here on Ulric’s twenty-first birthday.

“So it’s settled then?” Mira grinned, taking a seat on her own bike. It got her thinking…had she ever had someone to really go out and ride with?

…no, she hadn’t. She was always alone.

Mira glanced to the side and rubbed the back of her neck with her yellow work glove. She finally looked back at Sadie when she realized she’d been staring at the ground too long. “Same here.” she answered with a genuine grin. She really was excited. Extremely excited. So excited that once Sadie left, she’d probably be dancing around the garage like some kid. “Just text me, y’know?”

“You got it!” Sadie grinned, sitting up and tucking the last of her tools back in the satchel. “Anything you need an extra set of hands for? I think I’m about done. Thanks, by the way. It may be a little clunky, but your plasma cutter worked perfect.”

She crossed her arms and grinned. “You’re welcome. The thing might be old, but still gets the job done.” If it worked, there was no reason for a new one. Besides, she didn’t even have the money for brand new tools.

“Ah..?” Mira propped a fist against her hip and cocked her head to the side as she looked back at her bike and the tools laying around it. She raised her hand up to cup her chin, wondering if there was anything she could use help with. But Mira just shrugged her shoulders. “Think I’m good, actually. Wanna help me put away the welder and cutter, though? Those things’re damn heavy.” she chuckled, looking from Sadie to her friend’s bike. “And I’ll help you get her back in the truck if you like.” she offered, gesturing her gloved hand to the machine.

“Sure thing.” Sadie grinned, slipping off the side of her bike to help Mira maneuver the big hunk of machinery. ”On the bike, I think if we can just get the front tire up- ” She grunted lightly, helping to move the hulking thing. “I can get the rest with a bit of frozen help.” She chuckled.

With the help of Sadie, pushing the welder to the corner of the room became much easier; despite the few grunts she made as a result of the weight, of course. “Sounds, ah-…good.” Mira sighed and swung her arms by her sides once the machinery was back in its proper place. Wiping her gloved hands, Mira grinned at her friend. “Thanks.” She turned to look back at the bike. “Would be easier with frozen help.” Mira agreed, nodding her head once. She smiled and nodded her head in the direction of the open garage door. “After you.”

“Mm, I know. I do.” she answered softly, inhaling and exhaling a long relaxing breath of air.

Her belly was starting to become a bit annoying the way it was pressed between the two of them, so Mira had to shift off Ulric to lay on her side. She rested her head against his chest while draping one arm over him, quickly becoming content from the closeness.

A loving smile on his face, Ulric gives Mira’s shoulders a light squeeze, letting himself relax into the bed.

“Love you, Star.”

With one hand, Mira tossed the tools in their rightful places, hung her gloves up on a rack and grabbed her keys. She shoved them in her pocket then held onto Joey, bouncing him up once to get a better hold. Soon enough, Mira joined Ulric. “Everything’s put away. Looks like we’ll get to go home.” she smiled, talking more specifically to Joey who had been resting his head upon Mira’s shoulder. She gave him a little pat on his back then headed out the garage door.

She looked up at the big metal door and bit her lip. “Babe, think you could…?” There was no way she’d be able to pull it down right now.

“Uh?” Looking up and following her line of sight, Ulric finally grins and nods. “Yeah, I can.”

Not exactly easy, having to tug downward hard once the other two are clear, but he gets it down just far enough that he’s still able to duck under and to where Mira is standing before closing it the rest of the way.

Her hand came up and under Ulric’s head in order to stroke his scalp. She sighed, followed by a few more giggles and finally relaxed against his body. Mira hummed, nuzzling her face gently to his neck and smiled softly. “…I miss this.” she spoke after a quiet moment.

“You have it now,” Ulric reminds, one arm around Mira’s shoulders now. He’d missed it too, to be honest, just being able to be close like this.

“Well, with that helmet you made me…” At least he’d be safe doing it. “If you want to, wouldn’t mind.” The look on his face softens somewhat at the mention of Emma, and Ulric focuses on Mira’s face now.

“I’d love to.” she answered truthfully. Mira would love it more than Ulric could imagine. The thought of teaching her fiancé how to ride a motorcycles - and possibly getting the opportunity to make a custom build for him - made her want to start right now. But Mira knew she wouldn’t be able to until after Emma was born.

At least she could teach him a thing or two during the summer.

Smiling, Mira stood on her toes to give him a little kiss. “Alright, I’m gonna put the tools away and grab my keys. Won’t be long.” With that, she headed to the shelves, both babies in hand, and set down the utility belt.

Even knowing it would have to be delayed he was already looking forward to it, leaning back against the table behind him as Ulric waits for Mira to head back.

“O-Oka-ay. W-Whatever you say, babe.” She muffled from between his neck, giggling more as her shoulders bobbed.

“Y-yeah, whatever I say.” Now that she’d finally stopped, Ulric lets out a low happy hum, letting himself relax a little bit. That kiss to his neck has the hum faltering momentarily.
