The Evil Topic In Which Anything Could Happen

Alba Manticora walked in and asked if it was ok for her to join the strange course of events.

"Uh .. should I have mentioned?" Holly asked dumbly, "I feel great now, no extra weight ... IM FREE AS A BIRD!"
She danced around.

Shadow just watched Holly, and nodded at Alba.

"Right, so if my calculations are correct,"said Alba matter-of-factly, "Shadow and Nat are PREGNANT!!!!!"

"Not with our own children however." Shadow said.

"Hi Alba!" Holly yelled, and bounced off the tree she had been dancing around, "Way hey, I ain't preggers!"

"Indeed..." sighed Natalie.

Shadow stayed silent.

"Well, euh... Holly, what about you stop stessing us all out please, and...," Alba stopped to think for a moment, "I feel left out, I don't have a baby..."

((Vrael! come here a minute! lol joke))

"No I will not," Holly said, "I will however, stop STRESSING you out ... Okay, I've stopped."
She smiled.

"It's not my baby...Holly just can't be bother getting fat..." said Natalie angrily. Mood swing...

Alba looked at Shadow.
"Are you alright? You look a little pale."

"That's not very nice!" Holly argued. Mood swing ...

Natalie sighed, tired all of a sudden.

Alba roled her eyes and smiled at Holly. She loved her friend's stupidity!

Holly took this as an act of kindness, and smiled back.
"So, hows the pregnancy thing going?" she asked Shadow and Natalie conversationally.

((ALBA!!!))

Shadow looked at Alba and shrugged.
"I'm carrying my sister's child. You think I'm going to be bouncing around?"

Natalie sighed again.

((What? lol, i was only teasing you... *thinks for a moment* how strange would that be? Quarted human, quarter manticore, quarter vampire and quarter demon... scaaarryyy...))lol

Alba swallowed. Shadow was carrying Raven's children. She couldn't bear to imagine the guilt if something went wrong at the birth and Shadow lost one. She knew demons came in pairs, but could one survive without the other?

"Bouncing around?" Holly inquired, "Is that like ... what I do? Except put nicer? Does it mean "Sleeping around"?"

"Who's the dad of this kid by the way Hols?" Natalie asked, looking down at her slight bump.

"Uh ... that's not important," Holly said hastily, and rather stupidly I might add.

"I know you have a question Alba, just ask it. Can't be any worse than Holly's." Shadow said.

"Fine..." said Natalie quietly.

"Holly's WHA?!" Holly asked, thinking Shadow was refering to her hair.
