Meanwhile around New York

[nothawkingbird]

Kate still tried to do patrols around the city where she could. She was out on the streets, and underground, it was ok getting around. At least she was getting used to the extra weight. Kind of. She was wearing some looser clothes she found. There was a spare robe in the one of the rooms that was actually kind of comfortable. She then took a step,

"Are you sick, Kate?" the subway intercom system inquires.

[nothawkingbird]

Kate looked up, and around.

"Hi Kern, and not exactly. Just pregnant. I think the baby just kicked." She kept her hand on her stomach.

Yep, that's definitely a tiny foot kicking at her hand. It's weird in a sort of a cool way.

!!!

:DDD!

"Pregnant! That is... baby inside? Congratulations! When will you have?"

[nothawkingbird]

"Yeah, usually that how it works, and thanks. I'm not sure since no doctors up here, but thinking maybe April or May?"

Garo's seeming less and less human, lately. It's nothing physical (except, maybe, that his eyes are slightly more blue and slightly more luminous than they have been before), just an air about him of something other. A certain sharp watchfulness, too, as if he's aware of something that other people aren't.

It's not threatening, though. If anything, he keeps his distance, because he had a cigarette a couple of days ago, and what if the smoke is still on him (it isn't), and what if he gets too close and Kate inhales it and it reaches the baby and the baby's lungs explode. He doesn't want the baby's lungs to explode.

Garo worries about these things.

"Everything healthy, so far? You certainly seem, er ..." 'pregnant' is what he wants to say, but he gets the feeling that would be tactless. "... glowing?" He finishes, lamely.

Kate had noticed, and it was worrying a little. More so for his sake than anything else.

"I think so? It's harder without a doctor up here. And no, definitely not glowing." She felt huge, and her hair was looking more lank and straggly these days.

"Baby's kicking so think that's good."

[bad_luck_wolf]

"How far along are you?"

[nothawkingbird]

"Not sure. maybe five months or so? Least according to the baby books."

Will's been trying to keep an eye on Kate when he can and not worry too much so he makes sure that his patrols tend to intersect with hers as often as possible.

[nothawkingbird]

Kate smiled and waved him over excitedly. She then blinked because she felt more kicks. Hard ones too.

"Will! Come here!"

[will_scarlett]

He runs over, "What's goin' on, ye well, love?"

[nothawkingbird]

She grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach.

"We got a little fighter."

There were more tiny kicks against their hands.
