Da Future

[50shadesofprotag]

Soooo in the future! Hilda managed to woo Silver and keep him for more than a week.

When Hilda's about 26 and Silver's 24, she's finally got him doing more "couple"-like things with her.




It's a good thing they're a somewhat decent age to be parents?

...But, uh. Getting through the having the kid part might be. Kind of hard.

[tsuntrader]

...It shouldn't be too bad, should it? Elesa didn't have too much trouble... [...And that is his only point of reference sorry Hilda]

[50shadesofprotag]

I... hm. Maybe. My mom said that having me was really tough, especially since she was all alone.

[tsuntrader]

[All alone...] Is that why you were worried about me leaving?

[50shadesofprotag]

Yeah. Mom said that "dad" wimped out and ran off when he found out that I was conceived and she wasn't going to give me up.

[tsuntrader]

[Wait wait wait.

What?]

Give you up? [There are a lot more things he's learned over the years. ...This isn't one of them.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Either for adoption or just getting rid of me before I could be born.

[This is an awkward subject, so]

Whatever. It doesn't matter, because we're not worrying about that. We're going to have this kid.

[tsuntrader]

[...Nod. Right. He does look a little uncomfortable at the idea that that's even an option, but it's irrelevant, so he'll move on.]

[50shadesofprotag]

...I'm just saying, most likely, you're going to have to take care of the baby for a couple weeks after it's born, if my mom and grandmom's experience says anything for it. Don't worry, I'll be fine, it'll just suck for a while.

Though we should probably talk to a doctor, anyway.

[tsuntrader]

[...] That's no problem, as long as you'll be okay. [But it does worry him.]

[50shadesofprotag]

...You need to be a "legal" person, you know. Because if something happens to me, then the kid's going to an orphanage, not to you. And even if I'm fine, you'll need it to be able to take them to the doctor and sign off on school work and stuff like that.

[tsuntrader]

[Ugh he really doesn't want to think about something happening to Hilda, but-]

Right. [Laws.] I'll ask my mom and dads about it. [They should know that at least a little better than him.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Okay, good.

[She sighs, mostly in relief, and wraps her arms around Silver in a hug. Even though she buries her face in his shoulder, she still mumbles.]

I'm gonna be a mom...

[tsuntrader]

[He's perfectly content to hug her and even makes his best attempt to soothe her by rubbing her back a little. It's gonna be okay. She's gonna be a mom, she's gonna be a good mom, and...]

...I'm gonna be a dad.

[He is really going to be a parent is he even ready for this]

[50shadesofprotag]

We. We can do it. We've got nine whole months to get our act together.

[tsuntrader]

Yeah. [Do you think I'll be a good dad do you think they'll like me can I teach them the right lessons they'll need to be happy and healthy where will they live and do they have enough money for a kid and--]

[50shadesofprotag]

[Hilda's quiet, for a good while, going through many different things in her head...



...Until suddenly, she let out a loud, angry, frustrated]

AUGH!

[tsuntrader]

[THAT SURE DOES MAKE HIM JUMP, YEP-] Are you okay?

[50shadesofprotag]

I'm pregnant! That means for like a whole year I don't get to do anything fun!

[tsuntrader]

...That's what you're worried about? [Hilda wat]

[50shadesofprotag]

For a whole year I don't get to battle, or train, or eat junk food or fish, or go on any rides, or have a hot bath or anything!

[tsuntrader]

[...Okay yeah that sounds miserable.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Ugh! This sucks...

[She whines, sounding weepy. It's not that serious of an upset, even if she's clearly not looking forward to that.]

[tsuntrader]

[...] Why can't you have a hot bath or fish? [Battling and training okay, rides... makes sense, junk food makes sense...

I am not a lady and what is this]

[50shadesofprotag]

I'm not supposed to raise my body temperature and fish sometimes have mercury in them that's not good for a baby.
