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?

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]

1/2

[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.

[infinitegrin]

Oh, wonderful! Really wonderful!! I bet Irene will be happy to have a little sister or brother!

[boltbadge]

And Silver has something to say, too.

[Emmet is good practice, might as well tell Emmet before Ingo! You can do it, Silver.]

[tsuntrader]

Second of all, Hilda is pregnant, and I'll be telling Ingo that I'm gonna be a dad tonight. [Aha...ha...

This is ten times more difficult than talking to Hilda about it was.]

[infinitegrin]

[GAAAAASP! Emmet's speechless for all of thirty seconds, but at least that time is spent making his smile all the broader.]

Wow! Wonderful! Exciting! I am Emmet, and I will be a grandfather!

Congratulations, Silver! Are you getting married, soon?

[tsuntrader]

[...That...

...He lets out a big breath he didn't know he was holding in when Emmet finally says something. Phew. Okay. Okay. He's okay now.]

I'm gonna need a legal ID before anything.

[infinitegrin]

Yes. Yes you are. You and I can get that cleared over the next few weeks.

[tsuntrader]

[...Nod.] Thanks, dad. [That will be one big load off his shoulders.]

[infinitegrin]

So? Are you excited? Nervous? Happy? Scared?

[tsuntrader]

[...Nod. Yes.]

[infinitegrin]

It's okay! Ingo was the same. Come here!

[Hugs for you! Many many hugs!]

[infinitefrown]

[AND SO, SOME TIME LATER BECAUSE INGO IS A WORKAHOLIC...]

Silver, you're home? [Well, hey! --oof gotta return his little girl's welcome-home hug first, hello] Welcome back.

[boltbadge]

[Elesa comes over! She'll get the second hug.]

Hello, sweetie. Silver and I have got some news for you. But he'll tell you in a bit.

[tsuntrader]

[Yeah, thanks d...

Oh right, news.

...You know what you guys can all get your hugs, he'll wait until his hug number is called.

And his number is 4578353458.]

[infinitefrown]

[And she gets the first kiss, of course.]

Hmm. I see. [vague news?? when has that happened to him before......] Both at the same time? [is it joint news? is it bad? well-- elesa doesn't look concerned, but silver looks kind of.... unsure? what expression should ingo be wearing right now]

[boltbadge]

I'll go first.

[But first she'll give Ingo a kiss on the lips, arms around his neck.]

We're having another baby.

[infinitefrown]

[aaah a kis-- what]

Really? [The surprise melts pretty quickly into joy, and his smile comes quite easily as he pulls her closer for another kiss and a heartfelt hug.] Elesa, that's wonderful...

[he'll ask for more details in a second but for now aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
