Hattie had made dinner. Her back was now killing her, but she'd made it. Something she hoped Kitt would like, since she realized that they didn't eat much together. Still, food was food and while she wasn't a big cook-

Oh, who was she fooling? It wasn't very tasty looking at all. A little black on the outside and maybe a little under-done on the inside? Meatloaf wasn't SUPPOSED to be good, was it?

"Hi, honey, welcome home!" She called it, meaning it to be a little on the cute side, wincing at her meatloaf attempt. Tossing the towel over it, she shook her head and grinned as he came down the hall.

"I don't think suing them would be the best course of action, anyway." She could see he was getting frustrated with everything and squeezed his hand. "Hey, it's not even an issue here. No Foundation."

Hattie ducked her head to try and stifle her laugh. "I figured as much." Shaking her head, a small bit of laughter escaping, she hugged him impulsively. "I haven't done anything recently and this-" she motioned to the track, "-doesn't count."

"I don't think so, either." He sighed, gave her a tired smile, and shrugged. "I don't know. I haven't checked to see if there is a Foundation or not, and if there is, whether or not they've got a talking car." That would be a strange thing to discover, indeed.

"Mmmm." He had to laugh at himself, so he would have forgiven her laughing, too. "Flying doesn't seem to be my thing in any dimension." He hugged her back, his smile wider. "You don't have to have done anything recently, Hattie. Just being here is enough. Though I'm curious." He pulled back to look at her. "Why doesn't the track count?"

"Because it just doesn't." And that was the end of that.

Hattie yawned again. "You gonna stay out here? I'm thinking of heading back." Suddenly the walk back seemed long and she was really tired out of nowhere. "I'm beat. Finish watching that movie, sleep through the ending and have to watch it all again tomorrow or something."

"Okay." He frowned in confusion, but decided not to press it.

He looked around again one last time, then shook his head. "No." Her yawn was contagious, and he realized that he finally really did feel tired. "Sounds like a good idea."

"Okay."

She could see he didn't understand, but she couldn't have explained it if she was forced. She hadn't done it to earn points or be loved more or anything. It was just because.

Swinging them both around, she then let go of his hand and slid her arm around his waist. "Maybe tomorrow I could come down and watch you again? Maybe ride along?" If she sounded hopeful, it's because she really was.

He couldn't love her more than he already did, but he was still utterly touched at the fact that she'd gone to the trouble to have a track built just for him, just because.

"I'd like that." He slipped his own arm around her waist in return, walking comfortably beside her, reaching for her hand so that he could hold it against her stomach. "If you ride along we won't be making any jumps though. The g-forces and stress won't be good for the baby."

"Not even a little-" Hattie bit her lip as she looked up at him and then grinned. "Fine. No jumps and that means no flying around corners and no fun stuff at all."

Feeling just this side of impertinent, she stuck the tip of her tongue out at him as quick as she could and then pouted. "You're so mean to me."

"No, not even a little." He clacked his teeth at her, threatening to bite that tip of her tongue if she did that again. "I'm rotten to the core." He narrowed his eyes, pretending to think hard. "Maybe a few fast corners."

She was giggling before he had the chance to compromise, just as they started up the hill. Somewhere in there, the baby had woken up and was kicking up a storm. She groaned and dropped her head against him again. "I'm going to get no sleep tonight, which means you're not either," she promised him.

"Hey, you." Kitt directed his words at the baby, tilting his head down towards Hattie's stomach. "You leave your mother alone. She needs her beauty sleep. And so do I." Just because he'd had his sleep, what, he thought they should cater to his whims at what, was it close to 2 am now? He nodded at Hattie, a look of smug satisfaction on his face. "That should do it." He yawned again.

There was a solid kick to her ribs and she said, "Oof" out loud and swatted Kitt's arm. "That did it all right," she laughed and then her look turned tender at his yawn. "Let's go to bed, honey. It's really late. Sleep in tomorrow?"

"Sleeping in sounds positively decadent." His smile was tired but perfectly content as they finally made their way back into the mansion. He'd always been an early riser, punctual and efficient once awake, a habit he'd picked up from so many years of, well, being a punctual and efficient AI.

He could say he would sleep in, and the idea sounded wonderful, but he had the feeling he'd be awake with the dawn no matter what.
