True. [he reaches over to pet link's tiny lil alien puppy head.]

[icouldbe_bess]

You're right though, Lincoln Graham does sound nice. [ if u get what she's puttin' down, son. ]

[mydesigns]

[yeah he does, ok. he's not dumb.] I guess there are some other ways it could sound nice ...

[icouldbe_bess]

Such as? [ link tries to climb into her shirt like it's a nice warm home for him. ]

[mydesigns]

[in his blunt, will graham way] You're suggesting that we get married.

[icouldbe_bess]

I'm suggesting that right now, in lieu of children we don't have, our dogs should have our last names. [ she pets link's head. ] But yes, marriage was also the idea.

[mydesigns]

[squints, momentarily distracted] Link would be Lincoln Lincoln-Graham.

[icouldbe_bess]

When Aaron was confirmed he chose Aaron as his confirmation name, so he was Aaron Aaron Lincoln. It's not unheard of in my family.

[mydesigns]

Really? Seems a little unfortunate to me.

[icouldbe_bess]

Well, Jesus was his first choice, but they said no.

[mydesigns]

[he actually laughs at that. amaze.]

[icouldbe_bess]

So how do you feel about that idea? The possible future hyphen.

[mydesigns]

I'm open to it.

[icouldbe_bess]

You are? [ she knows he loves her, but she's still somewhat surprised. ]

[mydesigns]

Well ... yeah. You've stuck around this long.

[icouldbe_bess]

[ dryly: ] Romantic. [ she obviously doesn't care though, watching will contemplatively. ] I'd like a house first and a long talk about finances, a saving account for joint purchases, Roth IRAs, long-term care and life insurance plans, living wills, power of attorney, that kind of thing.

[ also all very romantic. ]

[mydesigns]

[he raises his eyebrows like wow u thought this out real hard didn't u.]

Okay.

[icouldbe_bess]

It's serious. I like stability, I'd like for both of us to have it. And Abigail and Cora and Stiles and the dogs and whatever wayward youth or dog you adopt next.

[mydesigns]

[he snorts] I'm only Abigail's legal guardian. Not that there's anything legally binding us together on this side of the veil in the first place.

[icouldbe_bess]

Uh-huh. So which wayward youth are we taking home for Christmas next year? [ she fucking knows, will. dogs and youths. admitting you have a problem is the first step. ]

[mydesigns]

[he just makes a face. this face. he makes it. alice pls.]

[icouldbe_bess]

Girl scout, remember? I like being prepared.

[mydesigns]

Fair enough. Well, I hadn't planned on anyone besides Abigail. If she wants to bring one of her friends, that's up to her.

[icouldbe_bess]

So at least one child who isn't actually a child anymore and about thirty dogs.

[mydesigns]

... Yes. That sounds right.
