"I know. Getting into a knock-down fight with Doom over where I'm staying isn't on my list of things to do," Ryan mused, giving her a little reassuring squeeze.

((Another time))
Ryan tossed his jacket haphazardly onto a hook in the closet as he walked in. "Ahh, another productive school day," he mused dryly.

Ryan froze where he was standing, the his stomach feeling like it was sinking into the basement somewhere. "...Oh?" he said, his mouth going dry.

Ryan relaxed a little... but only a little. She had seemed nervous after all. "Define 'not bad,'" he said.

"Bear and I have seen how much you like taking care of Robin, how happy it makes you. And well, maybe we should think about having a baby sooner rather than later."

"We've got plenty of time to talk about that later," Ryan said, trying to figure out if this was all a joke.

"Putting it off for no reason?" Ryan sat down in a nearby chair and looked at her disbelievingly. "Rachel, you flip out if I try to buy you a present. In what way does that equate to 'we're ready to have a family'?"

"Because having a baby would give me something to focus on other than being crazy." Rachel said "And before....when I thought I would have to do it on my own, it made sense to wait. Now...." she shrugged.

"Now we all have the same reasons for needing to wait that you did then. Three 'too busy nows' split among three people doesn't equate to 'now we have time'."

Bear looked a little uneasy.

"In the future, sure! I want children with both of you... but now... "

"Exactly," Ryan said. "Not to mention the fact that our parents would kill us," he added. He thought for a minute. "Well, maybe not yours," he admitted, looking at Bear. "But mine would. And your mom would murder me," he continued to Rachel.

"I just don't see how slapping a baby on top of everything else will do anything except compound any problems we're working through right now." Was there regret in his voice?

"When we're not in college?" he pointed out. "When we have our careers more sorted out? When we aren't fighting every few days over something ridiculous? When we've figured out where we're going to live for good?"
