She nodded at Elizabeth.

"I would love a beer, thank you."

She turned to Emily with a smile.

"He didn't mention me? I'm not surprised. He likes to pretend I don't exist. Since I beat him at dodgeball in the second grade."

Emily giggled. "You're surrounded by women Darius! You better watch out!"

She came back out with two beers, both open, for Savannah and Gwen.

"Whatever will he do, a float in this sea of Estrogen. And we've got the pregnant hormones added to the mix. Totally screwed."

"Who's pregnant?" Savannah asked quickly and looking to Emily the one she didn't know.

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"Oh! That's me! 16 weeks along!" She rubbed her little swollen belly.

He looked at Savannah and grinned.

"I swear, it's not mine."

Emily giggled, "Oh you! No!"

Savannah looked at him with a raised eye brow, "So sure are you?" with a hint of a tug at the edge of her mouth, then to Emily "May you have a happy healthy baby." with a nod to her and a sip of her beer.

"Thank you! It's all going very well right now."

She leaned against the arm of the chair.

"And is the father in the picture?"

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"Yes he is! We aren't married or anything but we love each other."

She smiled.

"Good. I have seen too many single mothers. Will you be married before the baby arrives?"

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"Oh no. Marriage isn't something either of us are interested in. It's a complicated situtation. But I live in a nice big house with lots of wonderful loving people. I won't be a 'single mom'."

"And the father?" Savannah asked curiously.

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"Oh, he's around. I see him often." She smiled, not really wanting to say more.

She looked around and smiled.

"You'll have to forgive our friends, dear," she said to Emily. "They're simply curious about you."

She chuckled.

"Sorry. You don't have to answer. I just wanted to make sure you and the baby were taken care of."

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He laughed.

"Elizabeth has a very strong maternal instinct."

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

"Oh, well, yes, don't you worry. The baby's daddy is a wonderful man and will be an active part in their life." She assured them.

"It's nice to see people so concerned for the unborn little one! Don't worry. I'm not offended."

He laughed softly.

"People turn into idiots around babies."

Methuselah Posts : 1001 Join date : 2012-11-23

"Yes yes they do." with a soft bark like laugh and another drink.

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

"I think they emit a pheromone that leeches the IQ points away."

She giggled.

"It's like that with all babies. At least the intelligence comes back."

Methuselah Posts : 3850 Join date : 2012-01-10

Emily giggled.

Methuselah Posts : 2809 Join date : 2012-11-18

He nodded with another laugh.

"So often it just won't. All right -- should we get started with the kitchen? And ladies, if you let Little-Miss-Belly lift anything too heavy, there's going to be words. Got it?"
