Anything for you 4

"Vash? Vash...?"
Switzerland smiled drowsily as Lilli's soothing call came to him through his sleepy fog.  His leg was being jostled not uncomfortably but enough that he could not ignore it as he wanted, slowly his resisting eyes opened.
"Vash?"
"Ja, I hear you." The scene around him came into fussy focus, Lili was sitting in front of him in her night dress, higher off the ground, but at eye level and smiling.
"You are having a rough night," Lili brushed a hand through his hair making his scalp tingle and he hoped she give it a scratch, instead she pulled away and stood, holding her hands down for his.  

He appreciated the gesture but he wasn't about to use her to pull his weight off the floor.  He got to his feet with only minor help from the towel rack above him; Lili raised an eyebrow at him but took his hand anyway and lead the way into their room.  She guided him to the bed with her dainty hands steering each shoulder.  As they got closer to the bed the glowing numbers on his nightstand came into view and his jaw dropped " It's almost morning!" Lili giggled as she deposited him at his side of the bed "You've spent half the night in there."
Vash groaned and flopped on to the bed, rubbing his neck, "why didn't you come get me sooner?"
"You're lucky I did at all," she yawned and pulled the covers over her belly, "I was fast asleep until just now, and I had to go in there." Leaning over she softly kissed his cheek  "schlafen sie gut," and turned out the light.

Sleep was sleep, even if the majority of it was done on the cold tile floor in the bathroom.  But despite the irregular night, and a sore neck, Vash was surprisingly well rested.  He sat drinking tea and planning the day's activities at the breakfast table, enjoying the warm sunbathed kitchen. The entire east wall was lined with sparkling clean windows, and though the price for them about killed him, as did the blatant weakness of his strong hold, he had to agree with Lili that it was a good decision.  Though he wondered how she kept such a high opinion of them when they were in constant need of washing.
He sketched a few diagrams on his outline, the scritch scratch of his pencil being the only sound in the room.  Every once in a while he would pull out a separate piece of paper and copy a drawing on to it before returning to his plan.  It wasn't long until Lili arrived, carrying a bowl of fruit and plate of toast.
"Good morning!" She beamed at him and sat down, giving his papers interested glances, "those are very cute!  What is that for?"  
"This is the game plan for today."  He scratched out a note and rewrote it, all the while Lili looked on nibbling her toast.  He would never understand her attraction to his diagrams, but they made her smile so he kept doing them.  Though this one he could see the lure, it was why he'd made a copy.  Upon finishing he stood, turning his board with that days plans so that Lili was able to see all of it.  He was rather proud of all the forethought he'd put into it, though as his attention focused on the other nation and her sparse meal he began to frown.
"You need to eat more than fruit and bread."
"The bread has jam on it." She smiled sweetly at him and took another bit.
"But you need your strength, we won't be back here for quiet some time."
"I am sorry, but I am not feeling well."  She brushed a hand on the apex of her stomach, Vash groaned, he was out of his depth and couldn't argue. Picking up his pencil again he added something to the plan.
"Now," he said facing her again "we will be aboard most of the day, and we need to be prepared!  I have listed items that need to be brought with us" he pointed to two columns that spanned the entire page "and things we need to do." He pointed to a time line with small pictures illustrating the various activities, and watched the excitement grow on his Lilis face.
"Any questions?"
Lili raised her hand, without asking he pulled the extra papers from the stack on the table and handed the pictures to her.  Her eyes lit up like stars and Vash was very pleased at his preparedness.
He let he look through them all then coughed to regain her attention "anything else?" She looked up at him, then to the board curiously.
"Yes.  What's the luggage for?"
"That's your hospital gear.  The doctor said the baby can come at any moment."
"And the cooler?"
"Ice packs, water, extra film, medicine, snacks, and now apparently breakfast." Vash eyed his list again, everything down to the extra car batteries and transistor radios had a purpose, and he was pleased with it.
"You do know we are only going over to Hungarys."
"It's a long drive," he helped pull out her chair and took her plates "and we might stop off someplace unexpected, or.." he trailed off as he entered the kitchen Lili following him with her water glass.
"You are very smart," she kissed him on the lips, his eyes closed involuntarily as they did so.  "Can I help you pack?"
"No."
