78. The 'Rabbit Done Died' Meme

The Rabbit Done Died
"The rabbit died" is an old saying meaning one is pregnant, coming from the now no longer practiced rabbit test.

Congratulations!
You're pregnant. Knocked up. Eating for two. Have  a bun in the oven. Insert your own cliched phrase here. No matter how you say it, you're downright fertilized. Even if you're not typically in

[idek whyyyy]

it's pointless for me to roll, right? (1)

[fourmost]

Yeah, pointless for either of us (1)

[dorothytiberius]

So...

[clears throat]

You know what I know, don't you?

[fourmost]

D-Dorothy? [ ... no, he's not nervous. ]

[dorothytiberius]

Tabloids make up the most ridiculous rumors. It's alarming when they get one right.

[sighs]

I was considering terminating it. Still, I wouldn't want to do that without your consent. It is half your DNA, after all.

[fourmost]

[ Do you see this sad, tormented, troubled, kicked puppy face? Do you see it? ]

I don't want to pressure you to do anything, Dorothy.

[dorothytiberius]

[yes, she sees it; watch her try not to care]

No pressure. I'd just like to know if you want it or not.

[outwardly detached, damn it; not going to let on that she's worried, too]

Keeping it would entail certain changes. I intend to run for president next year. Depending on how we play this, it could build or destroy my campaign.

[fourmost]

[ Good luck. ]

Our child? [ He smiles, soft and skittish at the same time. ] You know what I'm going to say, Dorothy.

[ He will, however, keep thoughts about how cute he thinks Dorothy's child might be to himself. And not just because this is the wrong moment for that. ] I'll stay with you if you want me to and I'll... go if you want me to.

[dorothytiberius]

[arms crossed]

Thought so. My lawyers are drawing up a pre-nup as we speak. Time is of the essence with a situation this delicate.

[raises a hand up to pinch the bridge of her nose]

I need a martini.

[fourmost]

[ Well. He has the good sense to look taken aback for a second, then he just smiles again. ] What should I do for you? I'm afraid I can't provide a martini.

[dorothytiberius]

Think the kid won't be able to hold a drink?

[she's kidding but damn...no liquor, no cigars for nine months? she's going to try to kill him. a lot.]

[fourmost]

That's hardly the point, is it? You need to take care of yourself too, Dorothy.

[ Pretty sure he's going to say her name nearly every tag. ]

[dorothytiberius]

Entering into monogamy doesn't count as a step in that direction?

[he said her name a lot when they made the baby in the first place /sobbing]

man, i hate not having an edit button 2/2

[dorothytiberius]

[smirks]

You're displaying more concern than a marriage of convenience entails.

Stop it.

[fourmost]

[ Dorothy, Dorothy, Dorothy. Don't make him blush. ]

I care about you; it's not a marriage of convenience for me. [ He is blushing a bit here. ] I just want to take care of you, and our child, if I can.

[dorothytiberius]

How responsible.

[not buying it 8|]

You wouldn't be here if it weren't for the obligation.
