Diego Hargreeves

It's Diego. Leave a message.

It wasn't exactly the ideal anniversary conditions with Annie on bedrest and Diego being constantly ready to rush to the hospital at any moment, but today was the day so they had to make do. He got food delivered (Chinese food, spicy for Annie because he read that would help induce labor), and stopped by J,GOB to get a tiny cake for two (or four, rather). It wasn't a trip to another country or a fancy dinner, but they were going to celebrate, damn it.

"Heeeey," Diego said as he came into their room, arms full of food. "Happy anniversary."

[For the wife and allllll the Sunday SP]

Diego and Annie rushed back into the lobby, breathing like that had been running for their lives. Of course, they had been. But at least the guardian was nowhere in sight for now.

What was in sight, however, was a very pleasant surprise. "Klaus?"

Annie was pretty glad for the opportunity to talk to Diego privately after that little show in the meeting, yes. Privately being the operative word, and Annie was none too shy about making it known that she needed to talk to him now. Like, right now. Like maybe she was considering dragging him off by an arm, but she'd do him the courtesy of allowing him to walk under his own momentum now.

"What the hell was that?" Annie asked in a hiss, as soon as they were behind a door. Again: privately. The last fucking thing she needed was the rest of them finding out their news and deciding she had to sit out, too.

The vibe of this family meeting was much more sullen than the last one. They were down two more siblings (RIP, Chistopher and Fei), and this shitty hotel was literally at the end of the world.

And now Diego knew that he was now facing this apocalypse with his wife and child. Or children. God, they didn't have time to get an ultrasound before the world ended, did they?

So, yeah, bad vibes all around.

You know what? At first Diego thought this room was ugly, but after spending the night in it (and having sex in there), it was beginning to grow on him. He heard someone walking around and assumed it was Annie but--no, no Annie was still beside him.

Diego lifted his head, blearily looking around for whoever decided to come in here while he and Annie were clearly naked.

"What--"

Diego managed to convince Allison to stop rampaging for a bit by promising to take her out for a drink. So Chet gave them the keys to one of the hotel's cars and they took to driving around town. Mostly in silence, though Diego did stop to get them both slushees.

"You know," Allison said, poking her straw through her slushee. "When you said you'd take me for a drink, I had something a little stronger in mind."

"Do not disrespect the slushee," Diego said, slowing the car down and parking it across the street from his intended destination. "Check the glove compartment."

Annie was still in kind of a mood -- she had what was probably the biggest news of her life, and she couldn't tell Diego he was going to be a father because he was too busy dealing with already being a father to a twelve year-old who was abjectly terrible at practicing martial arts.

(Annie kind of wanted to help him, but that was...you know, all really complicated.)

So, since she couldn't -- or wouldn't, yet -- share her news, and she was feeling pretty stymied for it, she had sought out Luther to help with a creative project. That kind of thing always made her feel better.

"What about songs about like...going high, defying gravity, 'you make me feel like I can fly,'" Annie suggested, surveying the music Luther had stacked before them to create this mixtape for Sloane. A time-honored way of declaring one's affection. Annie heartily approved.

Mostly. She was going to gently move the Lionel Ritchie out of the reach of Luther's giant hands, at least.

So, there was a kid Diego had to take care of now, apparently. One very annoying, totally not his, kid. At least Stan stopped asking stupid questions when there was food in front of him, which explained why he was shoving a plate of pancakes at the kid while contemplating on whether or not to start day drinking.

Diego had been sensitive to the fact that Annie had been pretty insular the last couple of weeks, and that throwing her a huge party for her birthday wouldn't have been a good idea. Even if the tub from the rager was still in the kitchen.

So he decided to keep it low-key this year, taking Annie to Baltimore for a fancy dinner that required him to wear a tie for once. There was little chance that could lead to anything upsetting unless a witchy looking redhead happened to be eating there that night.

Luckily for them, no such thing happened. Everyone made it home in one piece with no triggering of any trauma. Well, except for the tie thing. Diego hated wearing ties.

[For the birthday wife!]
