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?

MORE BREAKING NEWS

[boltbadge]

[Elesa didn't have a sense of urgency in telling Silver (or Ingo for that matter) the fact that she tested positive for pregnancy again. Her daughter was a healthy, happy seven year old getting ready for her first journey in the next few years, and all-in-all, things were mild and comfortable. They lived in a house in White Forest, as per Elesa's demands, so there was little strain on making preparations.

So, when Silver is scheduled to visit her is when she'll break the news. She has the house tidied up in the meantime, her mild-manned daughter helping with cleaning up the place.]

[tsuntrader]

[And of course, Silver comes to visit her right on cue- if not, a little bit earlier. He'll... He'll tell Elesa first. Then Emmet, then Ingo. Yeah. One at a time.

He's an adult, he can handle it. He doesn't hesitate to unlock and poke his head through the door.]

Anyone home? [Elesa should be, but he should alert the house to his presence anyway.]

[boltbadge]

I'm here, sweetie! Come in.

[Elesa leans over and ruffles her daughter's hair.]

Go upstairs and call your daddy, remind him he needs to be home for dinner tonight.

[Off she goes! Elesa will come and give you a hug, Silver.]

How are you doing?

[tsuntrader]

[...Thank you. Thanks mom, he needs this hug.]

I'm still figuring that out.

[boltbadge]

Oh? Is something wrong, Silver? Come on, sit down and we'll have a chat.

[tsuntrader]

-It's not something wrong. It's the opposite.

[...Yeah let's sit down.]

[boltbadge]

Well, I suppose that's good. I'm glad you came on time today, I wouldn't be able to see you tomorrow since I have a doctor's appointment.

[She's keeping from smiling too broadly, but she is so obviously excited about something...]

[tsuntrader]

A doctors appointment? [Didn't Hilda say she...

Wait.]

Did something happen?

[boltbadge]

Yep! You're having another sister. Or maybe a little brother, this time. I've been pregnant for about a month now.

[SO EXCITE. Hilda was panicking, but Elesa is just happy about it.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Excuse me give me a minute over here]

[boltbadge]

You're so surprised! Come on, don't be so shocked.

[She'll pinch his cheeks playfully.]

You know that Ingo and I were thinking about this.

[tsuntrader]

[Normally he would react to having his cheeks pinched, but. Not today. He's still a little too nervous about everything for that.]

...The timing was pretty surprising. That's all.

[boltbadge]

Timing? What do you mean?

[tsuntrader]

[...]

I'm gonna be a dad. Hilda and I are gonna be parents. [And the more he thinks about it, the more overwhelming it is.]

[boltbadge]

What? You mean... Hilda's pregnant, too?

[tsuntrader]

[N...Nod.] She told me yesterday. She was a little freaked out about it, so I had to keep calm.

[And he is trying very, very hard to not freak out about it.]

[boltbadge]

It can be scary, I understand. Later, you should talk to Ingo about it, when it's just you two and no other distractions. As long as Hilda knows that you're there for her, she'll get comfortable with it. Nine months is a long time to get over that fear, after all.

[Oh, sweetie. Elesa starts running her hands through Silver's bangs, brushing them out of his face, and smiles warmly.]

It feels like I'm too young to be a grandmother! But you're at a good age to be a father, so I know you'll do perfectly fine.

[tsuntrader]

[Yeah. He knows this. It's not scary because no one's gonna be alone.

But that's still a lot of sudden responsibility, and he still needs time to digest it. They'll be responsible for another life. Is he really ready for that?]

...I hope dad will be as calm as you are about it. [...Ingo. Emmet he's not too worried about.]

[infinitegrin]

Calm about what?

[tsuntrader]

[AbouuuuWHERE DID YOU COME FROM

HI DAD]

[infinitegrin]

[Enjoy your headpats, Silver.]

Hey! Welcome home, Silver. Were you two talking about me?

[boltbadge]

We were referencing Ingo. Welcome home, Emmet, is he coming back soon?

[Emmet nods, yep, he'll be late as always but he'll be home.]

[tsuntrader]

[Ingo, you are such a workaholic.

...He has to tell Ingo...

How. How about you two keep talking and he'll just be overwhelmed in this corner right here.]

[infinitegrin]

So? What were you two talking about, then?

2/4

[boltbadge]

Well... first of all, I'm pregnant again. I'll be telling Ingo tonight.
