"Oh, you're kidding me..."

Those are the first words out of Mia's mouth once she realizes the door leading out of the nursery has been replaced by the door to Milliways.

Cepheus, you see, is hungry, and he's making it known that he's hungry with his not-so-subtle tugs on Mama's top and his fussing. She was actually just stepping out with him because she had forgotten his blanket in the living room.

Mia quickly picks one up from Miss Bar, makes sure the baby doesn't leave her indecent, and finds the restrooms to tend to his needs. She leaves some time later with a mostly-happy and mostly-asleep baby and makes her way to an armchair by the fireplace.

[OOC: Not plotlocked, but waiting for a particular thread and working on a project, so spotty tagging until I'm done. Feel free to run into Mia at any point, even if it means embarrassing the living daylights out of her.]

"...."

Ooops. The not atually son seeing the actually son pull the shirt too far!

".........................






he needs to learn not to grope in public."

Also:

BABY!

[gorgonfondness]

Fortunately, this is in a secluded corner on the way to the restroom, so Kaworu was the only one around.

"That will come sometime when he can manage solid food," Mia says, covering herself with the blanket. "Hello, Kaworu."

Give her a moment. Baby's getting situated.

[creationofwill]

Uh. "Hi."

To more parts than he had ever asked to see, really. Look at that angel flush! The first time he saw girl-chest was not supposed to be this way, okay?

[gorgonfondness]

At least it wasn't a result of flipping through Hot Girl News...

"Sorry about that," she says when the baby's being taken care of under the blanket. "This replaced my living quarters and he's...rather insistent."

Welcome to the most awkward conversation a boy and his not-mom could have!

[creationofwill]

He may or may not actually read those, but just prank random people with the magazines. It can be kinda funny haha what. You get bored when you're dead.

"Hey, you do what you gotta do," he says. "As well, it means a fated meeting." How legendary sounding!

Or it would if he wasn't currently trying to figure out why babies apparently look rather strange.

[gorgonfondness]

"Well, fated is one way to put it."

If fate is interchangeable with Murphy's Law.

"I'll be sure to properly introduce him once he's finished. Ideally he won't take long."

It could be worse, really. At least Mia's used to nursing by now. That first week or two was uncomfortable, to say the least.

[creationofwill]

"I suppose I am glad I will not have to figure these things out from a parental perspective," he says. "It all seems to be another language."

......blame Babel?

[gorgonfondness]

"It took some time for me to get used to it myself. And I'm still learning."

It's not long afterward that the baby's done and Mia excuses herself to make herself decent. She comes back shortly, decently dressed and the baby swaddled in the blanket.

"Now, to properly introduce the two of you. Kaworu, this is Cepheus."

[creationofwill]

Decently dresses is... a good thing. Quite. Kaworu never had a mother but apparently this is what it would feel like if he had!

He cannot think of a proper descriptor, however. Cute? No, babies look odd. This part of him look like your same part of it? No, she may be insulted being compared to an odd thing. Umm -

"....he looks... babyish."

We demand to know your damage, Tabris. Sheesh.

They saw her as she came in.

They know that tone babies take when they're hungry.

Mia's fetching of a blanket confirms that.

"Hello Ms Ausa—"

"—How are you—"

"—And your son?"

they say quietly so that Cepheus will not wake, but loud enough that Mia will hear them.

[gorgonfondness]

"Fine, fine," she says. "Just thought this was my living room."

[xamotomax.livejournal.com]

Taking up chairs opposite Mia, they seat themselves equally quietly.

"That does seem to be—"

"—How this place works."

And, together, they say,

"Unexpectedly."

Fortunately for the twins they've yet to enter the bar in their Cobra uniforms, though the odds of that are low simply because they don't use them often—their place is in the boardroom, in business suits.

[gorgonfondness]

"Yes," Mia says, nodding.

And then, "How are you?"

[xamotomax.livejournal.com]

"We have been doing well."

"The last two weeks have been quiet."

Mostly because their Top Client is busy, leaving them to deal with their other clients.

[gorgonfondness]

"I wish I could say the same."

No she doesn't.

[xamotomax.livejournal.com]

Together,

"Oh? What happened?"

This time the looks of curiosity are genuine.

[gorgonfondness]

Mia blinks.

"I've...been caring for my baby."

It wasn't obvious?

[guppy_sandhu]

As she sits down in the armchair, she may become aware of a little person staring at her and the new baby.

Mia's tummy shrunk!

[gorgonfondness]

It did, didn't it? Rachel had pointed that out, too.

It might take her a bit to notice Fry, though. Mia likes these peaceful moments with Cepheus, as they're still somewhat few and far between.

[guppy_sandhu]

Fry marches up to Mia and points at Cepheus.

"Watdat?"

[gorgonfondness]

Mia smiles as she looks at Fry.

"He's my baby. His name is Cepheus."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Teffus." Alex says, struggling a bit with that one.

"Hey Mia." Guppy appears behind his youngster.

[gorgonfondness]

"That's right," Mia says.

She knows it won't be long before such a name won't be a challenge to him.

"Hey Guppy. How are you?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Good thanks. Number two baby just started kicking which got us rather excited." Guppy says.

"Would you mind if Alex gets a closer look at him? He's not really seen many newborns and we're trying to prepare him."

[gorgonfondness]

"Oh how wonderful!" she says, excited but hushed so she doesn't wake Cepheus.

"Oh certainly. Here, let me just move him for a better look."

Mia carefully shifts position so that she's kind of sitting sideways in the armchair, one leg propped underneath to help support the baby. She unfolds the top blanket a little as well.
