Edmund had sent Peter the requested baby books - along with a healthy dose of mocking at the request

Willow was doing reading of her own in their sitting room. Though her reading was more along the lines of furniture suggestions for a baby's room.

"Guess what," Peter said, coming around the room to face Willow and forgetting he was still holding the book. "Apparently you are now in your third trimester!"

[willbedone]

"You're holding a book!" Willow said, because that was the more newsworthy item for her.

[once_a_king]

"The baby!" he said, gesticulating wildly with the book. "It's big!"

[willbedone]

"Did you read that in your book?" Willow asked.

[once_a_king]

He looked at the book and realised that he hoped no one ever, ever heard about this. "Yes?"

[willbedone]

"You're very sexy with your book-reading," Willow said. She patted the spot next to her if Peter wanted to sit.

[once_a_king]

"Even when it results in me calling your baby big?" he asked, giving her a smile as he sat down.

[willbedone]

"He's half your baby too," Willow said. "And admittedly I was on the big bandwagon when Alex decided that my bladder was oh so comfy."

[once_a_king]

"You decided he was half my baby when he sat on your bladder?" Peter asked, raising an eyebrow now.

[willbedone]

"I decided he was half yours when part of you met part of me and it became all Alex." Willow reached for Peter's hand. "I decided Alex was big when I got very good motivation to know where all of the castle bathrooms are. I'm also tempted to suggest we maybe put up some signs, but I'm pretty sure I have them all memorized now."

[once_a_king]

He snickered, squeezing her hand gently. "Edmund wanted signs too when we first got here. I don't think he used the same method to learn them all though."

[willbedone]

"No but it'd be amusing to suggest," Willow said. "Just for the look on his face."

[once_a_king]

The look on Peter's face was quite possibly very similar as he considered how that could happen. "Maybe?"

[willbedone]

"But that would be naughty," Willow said. "Also he's not here. Do you think he's doing okay with the news? I know he and I are still not exactly BFF-y but Alex is part you and that has to be good, right?"

[once_a_king]

Peter chuckled and offered her the book, a letter from Edmund sticking partially out of the top. "I think he's enjoying the chance to tease. And is happy he's not here so he can mock from afar."
