Verification Libs

If J-No can make up a game with the word verification gibberish, then so can I.

In order to prevent spam, this site requires each person to type a series of nonsense letters, a feature I'm sure most of you are familiar with by now. I'm going to share a fragment of a (bad) story I once wrote, with words intentionally left blank. As each of you comment, paste the first available sentence with blanks, filling the blank with the nonsense word you're given, and bold it. Once enough people have commented, I'll edit the post to include all the words. This may seem stupid, but bear with me--we just might have fun...

Kathryn was crouching next to a reference _____, Molly and Alcatraz nearby with their children. The former warden and his wife had the beginnings of a __________ family, but Walter's pride and joy was his own. Young Walt had managed to wriggle out of one of his socks again, and he _______ as Kathryn perched him on the edge of the table and worked the sock back on while Molly steadied him. A warm ______ danced along Walter's spine, and he chuckled.

"Now then, hope I don't have to lock the tyke up in my brig." he said, stepping forward and grabbing his wife by the _____.

"Don't you dare," she replied, a gleam in her ____ as they met his. "I think the 'Hero of the Starbase' has enough _________ to fill the cells without having to restrain his own son."

"Maybe..._____ has been pretty crime-free since I was put in charge of security. Maybe I can spend more time around you."

Kathryn smiled and kissed him, and Walter remembered the first time they ___. She had told him an anecdote about her niece back home on Earth, and he nervously smiled and cursed himself for barely being able to speak to her. Right then and there, from the way she described how she spoke to her _____, he knew she would be a good ______, a natural. He knew he wanted her to be the mother of his children and spend the rest of her ____ with him.

Paralyzing shyness. It seemed so far away now, like he was a different person. Walter had come so far for an ________ desk clerk.

Obviously, I have more blanks than I have readers, so you can comment as many times as you like until this exercise in insanity is complete.
