"Once upon a time there was a great sorcerer. He could build mountains if he wanted to, fight the most god-awful witches, and fly through the sky like a bird. And his name was-"

"Um, you know Howl, darling. Don't you think it's a little early to be telling bedtime fairytales?"

A smile crossed Howl's lips. "But darling, it isn't a fairytale. I'm simply telling Morgan the way in which I wooed you. And besides, it's long after twilight. It's perfectly fine." Clearing his throat, Howl continued, "Now where was I? Oh yes! And his name was-"

"Howl!" Sophie said, cupping her hand over her husband's, which was planted on the roundness of where the baby sleeping in the womb. "I don't think he can hear you quite yet."

"Nonsense!" Howl said, his tone becoming ever more patronizing as he planted a light kiss on her forehead. "Of course he can hear me, cariad! I'm his father!"

Sophie looked at her husband as if he had completely gone mad. "Whatever you say, Howl Jenkins." She tightened her grip on Howl's hand. "But if you don't let me go to sleep at some point this evening, I'm going to be forced to put more holes in your favorite suit."

"Now come, Sophie. You should hardly be doing any manual labor in your condition."

"If that were to be my excuse, what would be yours?"

"Touché, darling," Howl replied, taking his hand away from her round middle, and instead brought his wife in close to him, wrapping the covers tightly around the both of them. "Then perhaps we should get some sleep? After all, it is dreadfully late. You really shouldn't be staying up this late, Sophie dear."

Sophie glared at her husband and gave a loud snort.
