*slips out for a walk while Arien is gone*

*passes a book shop*

*eyedart* *goes in*

...

*comes out a few minutes later with copies of What to Expect When You're Expecting and Este's Childbirth Made Easy*

*goes to the café and sits down to take notes, highlight, and over analyze every word read*

*walks by, pushing Linnauriel in her stroller*

*sees the books and raises an eyebrow*

That's a joke, right?

[gentle_este]

*Shakes her head*

Something I can help you with?

[silver_tilion]

*looks around*

Is this whole having a kid thing really as hard as people make it out to be?

[gentle_este]

Ah.

*sits down*

Well, it is a big change but you can prepare yourself.

[silver_tilion]

*looks at the books*

I've been trying but somehow I don't think reading is going to help.

[gentle_este]

Well...Parenthood is something people have been doing for thousands of years...and most people here have actually lived through those years, so you've got plenty of people to ask for advice and help from.

...

Has anyone ever had a baby with Arien?

[gentle_este]

. . .

Good point. Uh...I know this might be a fucking terrifying slightly scary proposition but I think you two really could do with sitting down together and discussing what the arrangements are going to be. Better to get it worked out now than try to muddle through.

[silver_tilion]

*voice cracks*

That might be a good idea...

[gentle_este]

Also better get it done before the hormones really start messing with her.

[silver_tilion]

*willnotcrywillnotcrywillnotcry*

Does that really happen?

;_;

[gentle_este]

Um...have you ever heard of PMS? Mortal women get it. It can be like an on-going bout of that. :S

I can prescribe some mild, safe tranquilisers. :S

[silver_tilion]

*has been reading*

*GULPS*

I... uhm... no, no. She wouldn't like that. And I wouldn't like that. But thanks. :S

[gentle_este]

I understand. But if you change your mind, just holler.

[silver_tilion]

*nods*

I can do this, right? I mean Arien. Arien's child. Am I going to be able to handle them?

[gentle_este]

Oh sweetie...

*hugs*

Of course you can, it'll be your child too.
