Merik made his way through the apartment quietly. There was no reason for it, though, since Eva would know wherever he was, at any time, in any location in the underground base. As it was, he still figured it would be better for him to approach her quietly, especially since he had just recently been forgiven. "Hey," he greeted, taking a seat beside Eva and putting an arm around her. "How're you feeling? I brought a snack," he offered, holding out his bowl of popcorn as he kicked his boots off and propped his feet up.

Eva was slouched on the couch, rubbing her eyes and blinking to keep herself awake. She hadn't gotten the greatest sleep last night so she felt tired, which was shown by the light bags under her eyes. She drew her eyes away from the television when she heard Merik, giving him a smile. "Hey," she greeted back, leaning against him when he seated himself beside her. Her eyes soon followed towards the food even before he announced it and she began to eat some of it as soon as he held it out. "Tired. Now I'm hungry," she replied, taking a handful of popcorn this time.

Merik smiled when Eva did, relieved that the tension of the last couple of weeks was now gone, though the constant anxiety was still there. He knew it was silly of him to still worry, but he couldn't shake the feeling that his actions was going to have some bad repercussions. He leaned his head against her's, letting his hand graze against the side of her stomach, though there was no visible signs of her pregnancy just yet. "I'm not surprised, you didn't seem to want to get comfortable last night," he commented, kissing her temple. Her tossing and turning had also affected him, since he had a hard time not feeling everything that she did, but he didn't blame her. He doubted he would've gotten very much sleep anyway, as anxious as he was lately, but he was used to it. As head of the coven still, though with much more help than he used to have, it was normal for him to be exhausted most days. "I can make something for you, if you'd like," he told her, already settling his feet back on the ground before she could answer.

"Sorry," Eva apologized, knowing that since she didn't get a good sleep that meant Merik didn't as well. It wasn't like she could control it, but she still felt guilty. At seeing Merik getting ready to get up, she quickly reacted by grabbing a hold of his arm. "No, I want you to stay. Popcorn's fine," she told him, curling her legs onto his lap so he would have to stay. Plus, because of their argument they hadn't exactly cuddled so she wanted to be near him now. "Although, peanut butter covered popcorn would be nice. But don't move!" she ordered, giving him a look to make sure that he didn't before taking a mouthful of popcorn.

Merik leaned back against the couch when Eva tugged on his arm and threw her legs over him, not about to leave her when she was dead set against it, but he was kinda glad because he didn't want to leave her, either. "I'm not going anywhere. Not if you don't want me to," he assured her. He slid his arm back around her and pulled her onto his lap, scooting down further into the sofa until he was comfortable. He propped his feet back up again before he balanced the popcorn bowl on her lap. He took a few and ate some, accidentally dropping one, which he immediately picked up and tossed at Eva. He grinned at her, batting his lashes innocently. "So, from what I've heard, there hasn't been any news of our last escapade," he told her, hoping that, at least, was good news.

Eva smiled, glad that Merik wasn't going to get up, and she leaned her head against his shoulder. Her eyes had closed momentarily, but they soon reopened when she got a popcorn thrown at her face. She fixed Merik with a playful glare, picking up her own and acted like she was going to throw it back at him, but instead she just ate it. It wasn't until the fourth popcorn which she took up did she throw at him which proceeded with her sticking out her tongue. "Well, that's good..." she trailed off because she didn't really want to talk about it, or be reminded of it. "I had Tristan check me up. I had a blow to my stomach so I was worried about the baby, but as far as he can tell it's fine. He's giving me some meds just in cause though," she told him. She hadn't earlier because of their fight, and she couldn't remember if she had yet so she did just in cause.

When Eva tossed the popcorn at him, he attempted to catch it in his mouth, but it only bounced off his nose, hit his chin, and disappeared somewhere down his shirt. He glanced down, then at Eva, then down at his shirt again. "Excuse me," he grinned, unbuttoning his shirt enough that he was able to retrieve it, then tossed it back at Eva. "You can have that back," he told her, now poking his own tongue out at her. He then leaned closer to her, enough that he was able to lick her cheek, but that was when he heard her comment. He didn't think doing so would be appropriate after hearing that, so he settled his features into a slight frown. "I remember that. I wish you would've let me go along... but I'm glad you're okay," he told her, reaching up to caress her cheek instead. He couldn't help letting his fingers trail down to her stomach, and he tried to bite back a smile that they had actually managed to get pregnant again. "Are you happy?" he asked. She was content at the moment, and he knew her obvious answer would be 'yes', but he felt like he needed to hear it. It got tiring just having to go off of what he felt all the time, so hearing it was refreshing. "I mean... I don't know what I mean. I was just curious," he told her, tilting his head to the side as he met her eyes.

Eva snickered at Merik's failed attempt at trying to catch the popcorn down his shirt, ducking when he threw it back. "I don't want it! It went down your shirt, gross!" she told him, searching to see if that popcorn had landed on her, but luckily for her it was now on the floor so she didn't need to worry about it at the moment. Her eyes fluttered closed when he caressed her cheek, leaning her face into it until it disappeared to move down to her stomach. She was a little surprised at his question, for obvious reasons, so she didn't answer right away. "Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?" she replied with a smile, stroking his cheek this time and leaning up to give him a soft kiss. "I am a little worried though, about...about having another miscarriage..." she admitted, her voice quiet and she had to move her gaze away from his hide just how scared she was. Not that it would make a difference, since he would already know. "But I'm trying not to think about it. It would be better if I didn't."

"Of course you want it, it went down my shirt," Merik replied with a smirk, using her words as his argument, as if anything that was on his chest was pretty darn tasty. He smiled at her reaction to him caressing her face, glad that even now he still had that effect on her. He let his fingers graze across the bit of skin just underneath her shirt while she answered his question. He couldn't help it, it was like he was enthralled by the idea that she was carrying thier child, despite that it wouldn't be the first time. "I don't know, a lot of reasons..." he replied. It was his turn to lean into her touch and return her kiss, and he leaned forward when she pulled away to make it last that much longer. "Don't," he told her when she expressed her worries, and he ran his fingers through her hair to cup her face. "You and our child are going to be fine, so don't worry about it. I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere," he assured her, knowing as he did that it was his fault she had been too stressed and things went wrong. He pulled her into a tight embrace, closing his eyes as he held her, wanting to erase her worries and pain from her, but knowing that he couldn't. Well... not for long, at least, because they would always come back. "I love you," he whispered, finding himself blinking back tears, but when he pulled back, he was smiling. "I really do."

Eva rolled her eyes at him, giving him a look. "I don't want everything down your shirt, y'know," she told him, but as she said it she couldn't letting her eyes fall down to where his chest was exposed from undoing a bit of his shirt earlier. She tried to look away before he would notice though. She smiled at his reassurances, lying her head against him when he hugged her and she held him back as tightly as he did. "I love you too," she cooed, kissing his jaw once before he pulled back. "Which is why you are the only one who has the privilege of impregnating me," she told him, trying to keep a serious face but she snorted and couldn't help laughing.

Merik's brows rose when he heard Eva's comment, but saw where her eyes were immediately drawn to. "Suuuuure you don't," he chuckled, not-so-subtly readjusting his shirt so that she would know he had caught her. He didn't bother closing it, though, especially since she seemed to get a kick out of it. He smiled when she told him that she loved him too, and he still wore it when he finally pulled back. He blinked when he heard her comment, gaped, then closed his mouth, then started laughing. "Well I certainly hope so. I don't think any of your inanimate husbands have the ability to," he told her, grinning widely and wriggling his brows at her.

Eva glared at Merik when he made it his readjusting of his shirt super obvious, knowing that he was teasing her. "Well fine, if you're going to be like that," she said, unbuttoning a bit of her shirt so she matched him and she smiled at him cheekily afterwards. "No they can't, and I don't think I want a sock baby either," she said, rolling her eyes at his expression.

Merik glanced at Eva curiously when she sounded like she was going to either make a point to him or make him regret messing with her. "Oh, come on! I close my shirt and you bear your chest at me?" he asked with a chuckle. "You only have yourself to blame if I'm no longer paying attention to anything you say anymore," he joked, grinning at her as he completely unbuttoned his shirt. "Okay, okay, I'm joking," he assured her, doing his shirt back up again, save for the few buttons that he had undone earlier. "Does that mean you only just want my babies?" he asked, leaning forward to lightly peck her cheek. "Probably your best choice, at least they'll be pretty, right?" he asked, using the plural form just because he didn't know whether they were having a girl or a boy yet.

Eva rolled her eyes. "I'm hardly showing anything," she argued, looking down and playing with her shirt. "How is it my fault? It's your fault that you don't have enough control," she teased, sticking her tongue out at him. She lifted an eyebrow when she saw him undo all his buttons before rolling her eyes. "Don't expect me to do the same thing," she chuckled, now actually putting her shirt back up. "Of course I only want your babies. If I don't want sock babies, who else am I going to get them from? she asked. "Of course they'll be pretty! I mean look at you, you're just so adorable," she cooed, speaking like she would to a little child, and she cupped his face in her hands so she could nuzzle his nose with her own.

Merik's eyes dropped to Eva's stomach at her first comment, and he couldn't help smiling brightly at her. "You will be soon enough," he told her, his voice full of pride and adoration as he ran both of his hands across her stomach, though he knew she had been talking about something completely different. This probably proved just how excited he was for their child to be born, especially since there was no trace of her pregnany yet. "I have control enough. I'll keep my hands to myself for the next couple of months," he told her with a slight chuckle, shrugging when she said she wasn't going to mimic his actions. "I didn't expect you to," he assured, then made an O.o expression when she turned lovey-dovey all of a sudden. He couldn't help brimming with pride again when she said she only wanted his children, and he closed his eyes with a smile as she spoke to him like he was a very young child himself. "You sure know how to confuse a guy," he chuckled, lightly placing his fingers under her chin when she cupped his face. "You build my confidence one moment and then knock it back down again the very next. You'd better be glad I love you, or I might have been offended," he teased.
