Kaz coming home exhausted and weary, a long day of crunching the numbers and making well researched investments, limping up the stairs to their little home, Kaz could have built her a mansion, burnt the city to the ground and erected a palace in its place, anything for her, but Inej of course has no use for the material things in life "as long as we're together", he opens the door to their room, practically falling over his feet to lay down or see his wife he's not quite sure, she's in bed, blessedly, thank whatever saints that she believes in that she's finally taken the healer's advice, to rest, stay off her feet, of course she can work as hard as any man, better even, but she's pregnant, and Kaz can barely stomach the idea of her lifting a single finger let alone put in a full day's work, anything could happen and he wouldn't be there to keep her safe, so it's better that she's here where his mind is at ease and not constantly split between what could or might happen, she smiles at his entrance, radiant and beautiful in that way that makes his knees buckle and he stumbles way to her, the bed bending slightly under his sudden weight, and he wraps her in his arms and buries his face into her neck mumbling compliments laced with relief and she laughs, "there's the laugh", because what did he think was going to happen in the maybe two hours he's been gone, he was just home for lunch, but there's just something about being apart that kills him a little and he tells her as much and her voice and touch are soothing and calm as she tells him that he better get a handle on this if he wants to meet their little because at this rate because the stress is most assuredly going to kill him and he let's himself relax at that because if not for her then who would he let himself have this
