The Evil Topic In Which Anything Could Happen

"Ashton," Holly repeated, "Were you not listening?"

"Middle names?" Natalie asked.

"I like 'Mason' and 'Alex'," Holly said, "I havent thought of any girl ones though ... I don't think its a girl though ... mothers instinct....YAY!"

"No idea. Depends on the soul self and the demonic name if we need one." Shadow said.

Natalie sighed.
"Sounds good...like them both..." she said.

Alba thought for a moment.
"I like the name Corriander. Yeah, I know its a herb, but I like it. It's cute."

"Oh...and the other thing is...about the birth Holly...do you actually not want to be prescent...for the birth of your own child?" asked Natalie, "or are you ok...as long as you stay at my head end liek..."

"I don't wanner be there!" Holly said quickly, "No no ... unless you want me there ... ?"

"I don't mind Holly...but it's the most special thing you will experience..." said Natalie, sighing.

"Not really." Holly commented.


((HI LU LU!))

"If I throw YOU the baby shower...even though I won't be able to see the floor by then...will you at least stay with me for my labor...and then you can decide if you do...or do not...want to be there for the birth...ok?" sighed Natalie

"Okay." Holly said shrugging, "Wait ... how big a baby shower?"

"As big as me and Shadow put together at that time...we'll be pretty big by then I take it like..." said Natalie.

"Woha..." Holly said, "YES! LETS DO THAT!"

"Indeed.." sighed Natalie.

Shadow raised an eyebrow.
"You've at least got a while to go yet. I've got two months and a half."

Natalie sighed.
"But then you'll be all fine and dandy...and there'll be me lying on my back with a healer down where no man has ever been...and it's like...the equivalant of...like...passing a watermelon through your mouth or something....THIS IS THE PART WHERE I START TO REMEMBER PEOPLE! HOW THE HECK AM I GONNA DO THIS?!"

"I'll help you." Shadow said simply. "I can deliver the child, as I am a qualified healer."

Holly realised her mouth was open and she closed it.
"Sick." she commented quietly.

"Holly's child..." Natalie whimpered, still afraid, "I should be over it...I mean...the last time was no piece of cake...but this one will be easier...right?"

"First one's always worse. Don't worry Nat." Shadow said.

"Unless it comes out fat." Holly said, trying to be helpful.

"Holly." Shadow said. "Shut up."

"DON'T WORRY?! DON'T WORRY!...DO YOU KNOW ME AT ALL?!" Natalie whinned.

"Nat, shut up and calm down before you do some lasting damage." Shadow said.
