In the main bar there is a tray of cupcakes. Some are brightly coloured, some decorated with flowers, some look more like puppies or bunnies, or owls.

Around the table of cupcakes are some comfy chairs, and on the wall behind is a sign:

"Nineteen children is impressive," Alana says, her eyes widening slightly. "How old is the oldest one?"

[is_the_motion]

"Thirty six." Bonnie says. "He was fifteen when we got him. Bill and I went to the orphanage expectin' to come home with a baby, but he just looked so miserable."

"I understand," Alana says, inclining her head. "That you've opened your hearts and your home to so many children is wonderful. And now you'll have one of your own to handle as well."

"They're all my own." Bonnie says quietly.

"Oh, Bonnie, I'm so sorry," Alana says, her eyes widening. "Of course they're all your own. Please forgive me the slip."

"Don't worry about it." Bonnie says quietly, smiling at her slightly.

"If you say so," Alana says, shaking her head. "How far along are you in the pregnancy?"

[is_the_motion]

"Twenty weeks." Bonnie says. "And I already feel like a whale. Good job I didn't try and keep hidin' it."

[patterns_bloom]

"Twenty weeks already?" Alana says, easing into a small smile. "Time has just been flying lately. You'll be having that baby before you know it."

[is_the_motion]

"I know." Bonnie shakes her head. "It's still scary."

[patterns_bloom]

"I hope you don't get overwhelmed," Alana says, cocking her head to the side. "It's a lot of responsibility to handle at once. I'm sure you'll rise to the challenge."

"Ain't got no other choice. But thank you."
