Le Continental Restaurant, Quebec, Friday Evening

[flamesburned]

After a lovely dinner yesterday, Prompto and Liz were having their second dinner to celebrate Prompto’s birthday and had chosen a restaurant to try. Babysitting duties had been arranged and it was going to be their second kid free evening of the trip.

“Happy birthday,” Liz smiled as they were lead to their table, “I know its not Cafe Fina but I hope this will be a nice place to celebrate,”

Prompto had to laugh a little bit at that. "No, you're right," he agreed, "it's not Cafe Fina, and no dig against that place, but that might be kind of a good thing. I love that we're getting to mix it up this year; I should have birthdays on vacations more often!"

Because, yeah, that was totally something he could control and not just a lucky alignment of the stars or whatever! Either way, he was sort of bouncing a little in his seat with the excitement of the new place and a much overdue date night with just the two of them, in this great new place that he was desperately trying not to look too closely at the prices for!

Liz smiled, “its a wonderful way to finish the trip, celebrating your birthday here, the two of us having a nice evening together,” she said fondly.

"Thirty-two I think?? lol!" Prompto said, marveling a little as he shook his head while scanning the menu. "Kind of hard to believe! In a way, it seems both pretty old but also kind of young, too, for everything I've been through now, you know? Probably even weirder for you," he sent an almost sheepish, apologetic smile over the menu and across the table toward Liz, "to have me jump from just a young dork to an old man," the grin turned up ironically, "in pretty much the blink of an eye."

Liz smiled fondly as she looked up at Prompto, “I definitely wasn’t expecting it but I’m just glad that we’re able to celebrate your birthday,” she said, “I love you so much,”

"I love you, too," Prompto gushed, unable for a brief moment to do anything but sort of melt in his seat as he looked over at Liz, and then, once he could do something again, he was lowering his menu and getting up enough to lean over the table and kiss her. "Kind of a miracle that we're even here,if you really think about it. Which I try not to do. It's pretty brain-breaky, you know?"

Liz smiled as she gratefully leaned over and returned the kiss, “it’s definitely is unique, I know when I came back to Fandom I never thought anything like this was possible,” she said fondly, “I’m glad they worked out though, I can’t imagine being without you and Noctra,”

"Right?" Prompto said with a laugh. "It's been a wild two years, but I couldn't imagine it any other way. Well..."

A little bit of a shy grin surfaced as he settled back down in his chair, a blush rising up against his freckles.

"Maybe some other way. Hard not to think, now that Noctra's getting bigger and older..."

He trailed off a little, to see if Liz could tell where he might be going with that thought.

Liz found herself blushing as well as she returned that shy smile, “you know that would be absolutely perfect, especially as Noctra is getting older.,” she assured him.

Prompto sighed out a little with relief that they seemed to be on the same page, with a small nerve-soothing chuckle. "It's just something I've been thinking about a lot more now," he confessed. "But I mean, sure, yeah, it's easy for me to sit here and think, 'hey, wouldn't it be great to have more kids?' I'm not the one having to do any of the really hard work, you know?"

Liz smiled, “it will be wonderful,” she assured him, “being able to grow our family, have brothers and sisters for Noctra,”

"Well, then," said Prompto grinning even more as he leaned forward toward Liz a little, "then maybe we better get to ordering already, because the sooner we're done here, the sooner we can get back to working on that."

There was wiggling eyebrows.

How this woman actually put up with him enough to even want a family with him was a mystery for the ages, but he was absolutely not questioning it!

Liz giggled and blushed, “I think that sounds like a wonderful idea,” she said shyly, “what were you thinking of having?”
