AN: We haven't heard from the Scaarbachs in a while. :) How about a short, sweet, Scaarbach fluff chapter!

Lenora hummed as she worked, crocheting a sweater for her new baby. She had done the same before Eli was born, though it was to big at the time. Otto sat between her feet, toying with the matching booties. The gramophone filled the room with quiet music.

"Du bist mein Engel, Du bist mein hertz, Du bist mein ein und alles…"

She felt a light tapping on her belly as he sang. Looking down, she saw that her husband had fit the booties on the first two fingers of each hand an was 'walking' them across her belly.

"Really?"

"Ja," Otto grinned up at her, "I vvill sing to her in German, then in Greek, und then in English so zat she vvill know all of our languages. She vvill understand vvhen I call her 'mein Engel'," he kissed her belly, "und vvhen I call Mary, 'Princessin'," he kissed her forehead, "und vvhen I call Toby 'Barchen'," he kissed her right cheek, "und vvhen I call Eli 'mein giest'," he kissed her left cheek, "und vvhen I call her Mama Mein ein und alles," he kissed her lips.

Lenora hummed against his lips and wound her arms around his neck, "Mmm, say that again."

Otto grinned and murmered in her ear, "I vvouldn't vvant to rile you up,"

"We can hear you!"

They sat upright and turned. Toby and Seamus were still sitting at the table, doing their German lesson.

"Zen go outside," Otto deadpanned and kissed his wife again.

"You two disgust me," Toby wrinkled his nose, smiling none the less.

"I don't know," Seamus packed up his notebooks, "I think it's sweet. My father never did stuff like that. Even when Mom was still alive."

"Well, duh! But, as their son, I am morraly required to complain," Toby stated mater of factly, "Besides, don't Onkel Blinky and Onkel Arrrgh talk mushy to each other too, don't they?"

"Yeah. I guess it's just going to be a while before I get used to it."

"Fair enough."

Lenora chuckled and rubbed her forehead against Otto's. He shook his head and rubbed her belly gently.

"I love you all so much, Zaubermaus."*

"I love you too, Bussibar."*

They were able to sit uninterrupted for a while after that, exchanging kisses and whispering on and off. Just as Lenora reached for her yarn once more she felt it. Grinning she grabbed Otto's hand and placed it against her belly.

"Lenor-" his eyes went wide.

Lenora laughed.

"I-ist das? Ist das sie?"*

She nodded and wiped his eyes, "Yes. That was her. Are you crying?"

Otto nodded and wiped his eyes, "Mein Gott."*

He hugged her tightly, burring his face in her neck. His shoulder's shook slightly.(1) Lenora nuzzled his temple and toyed with his hair.

"Ich leibe dich, Lenora," Otto finally choked out when he leaned back, kissing her gently, "So veile."*

Lenora kissed him back and lay her head against his shoulder, "I Love you, too."

1) I'm not saying Otto's a crier but he did cry each time he adopted a child, when he married Lenora, when each of their children were born, and when each of their children got married. Yeah. He's a crier.
