What: Guess what?
When: Tuesday
Where: Thalia's place
Warnings: TBD


No matter how long he would live, he never quite enjoyed hearing 'we need to talk'. It almost always had bad news attached to it, and he wasn't much a fan of that. He hoped it wouldn't be Thalia saying she no longer wanted to see him. He rather enjoyed her company. So he'd picked up some flowers, just in case, because if that was the case he wanted to show there were no hard feelings.

He smiled when she opened the door and offered them. "For you. I hope everything is alright?"

Thalia smiled when she opened the door and saw the flowers. "Oh, thank you!" she said, sfanding back to let him in. "Come on in, pardon my mess. I'm trying to pack up my whole life to move in with Terpsichore. Do you want some coffee?"

She put the flowers in a vase with some water. "And to answer your question, everything really is fine. I just have some news, but...you might want to sit down."

"I found a firm that'll help with the big things, like the statue, the couch, the bed, etc.," she replied, making his coffee and getting herself a cup of tea. "But thank you."

She passed him the mug, then sat down across from him. "Like ripping off a band-aid," she muttered into her cup. "I got sick this morning," she began. "That, combined with a couple other factors, led me to go get a pregnancy test, and it came up positive. And there hasn't been anyone else in my life for a while. We can get a test done if you want to be sure, but I'm about 99% sure, on both counts."

She smiled slightly, and unconsciously laid a hand on her still-flat stomach. "I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it," she admitted. "I mean, it's certainly unexpected, but not unwelcome." She sipped at her tea, looking for the right words.

"My children aren't coming back to me," she finally continued. "And I was always at my happiest when they were in my life, and when there were people to inspire. So...I want to raise this child. And...and however involved you want to be, I'm pretty OK with it, but they should know you, too."

She gently squeezed his hand. "Sometimes time isn't so kind," she said. Then she brightened. "But yes, of course I want you involved. I've got an appointment next week for what they call a 'real' pregnancy test, they'll take blood and things, make sure I'm healthy, etc., etc."

His smile was infectious. "That sounds great. And speaking of places, I should probably tell Terpsichore we'll need a place with 3 bedrooms. Her head's gonna explode."

"Oh yeah, once she gets past the shrieking and dancing around the room that is her her reaction to good news." She laughed. "My sisters are going to flip."

"OK, if you'd like to, it's next Thursday at 2," she told him. "Nothing terribly exciting, I'm probably going to get sent home with a bunch of things to read about...vitamins and exercise and eating a healthy diet."

She really hoped the baby got his smile, so few people in the world had one like that anymore. "I'd like to meet him sometime, if he wanted," she said.

She laughed. "You could always take the prenatal vitamins in sympathy, but...maybe not. Some of what they're going to tell me, I probably already know. But medicine has really advanced since the last time I raised kids."

"I'd like that," she replied. "I can cook, or something. We can work it out."

She nodded, squeezing his had. "This time around, you'll probably get so many updates you'll eventually have to tell me to button it." She laughed. "I tend to bubble over like a pot. I usually can't help it, but right now, I don't care."

She giggled as a thought struck her. "You can help by reminding me that babies grow super fast, and no, Thalia, do not buy all the tiny outfits, since you don't even know the gender."

She smiled delightedly. "That does sound pretty nice, I have to admit."

"We can find that out around...16 weeks, I think, at the earliest. So not for a while yet. And I can't help but agree, but I could be biased because I think everything's cute."

"Exactly," she agreed, stretching up on tiptoes to kiss his cheek. "Of course. You deserved to know. And I think you'll make a great dad."
