Five years. It shouldn't be monumental-- they've been together so much longer than that. But it's so definite, so concrete, in a way they've largely avoided talking about things. Not for lack of commitment, but maybe some strange superstition about the future. Believing she'll be with him for the rest of their lives-- easy. Picturing life six months from now? A little unnerving.
"We're not homeschooling on a bus." The disdain is palpable, not that she takes the suggestion too seriously. There are all those questions-- schools, daycares, arrangements of where they're going to live, how their days will look. Any minute now they'll have to start getting on waiting lists.
"You've been thinking about this a lot." It's an invitation, if he wants, to tell her what else he's been thinking about. It's not exactly a surprise-- see: Fox Mulder doesn't do anything by halves-- but it's the first time they've really tried to talk about the logistics. And... she has to admit, there's a lot to figure out; there are plans they can't avoid making, not forever.
