She is so adorable, oh my gosh! Congrats to all three of you, wow... :DDD
(I really think someday, if I get really bored, I may add to your collection of children's books on the PPC. :'D)
"You realise I'm probably going to end up having this baby here, don't you?"
"Oh, yeah, sure," Dafydd snorted, leaning back against the pillows. "We must be, gosh, a whole half-hour's cart ride away from Malijach and the finest university hospital in the world. We won't be able to cover that distance while you're in labour, oh no."
"Hey, they've been getting shorter," Constance pointed out, sipping her glass of water and turning a page in her book. "Remember how long Tanfin took? And Bella was only nine hours or so."
"Yeah, but I don't think it's physically possible to take less time than that," Dafydd countered. "There have to be some limits."
"And what would you know about it, Mr. Illian?" Constance asked, arching an eyebrow. "I don't recall you being the trained medical professional around here."
"So do you think you're going to give birth here?"
"Not a chance. The idea's completely ridiculous."

"AAAAAARGH! Oh gods Dafydd I can feel the head!"
"Um, um, okay," Dafydd managed. "Tanfin should be almost back with Doctor Vishort now, it's only five minutes to his house, you can hold-"
"I know where our ---ing neighbours live, Dafydd! He's not going to get here in-- oh gods!"
"Help me, Este!" Dafydd muttered, wishing (insofar as he was thinking coherently at all) he had any confidence the prayer would cross the multiverse and actually be heard by the Valie of Healing. He knelt down in front of his wife. "What do I do?"
"Catch!" Constance screamed, and then there was a gush of fluids that left the bathroom floor sticky and red, and Dafydd holding something pink and wriggly. There was a moment of silence.
"Er," managed Dafydd. "Okay. It's a girl?"
"Daphne," said Constance, looking down at him - and then burst out laughing.
"What?" Dafydd demanded. "What?"
"Four hours!" Constance exclaimed breathlessly. "Not nine - four hours!"
And that was when there came a knock at the door...
Here's to raising a beautiful baby girl! *raises glass*
HUZZAH BABBIES! \O/!
With confetti and all!
Congratulations! She's so cute!
Your little boy is adorable as well. :)
Ah, celebratory (nm)(nm)s!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
*laughing madly over the foreshadowy writing piece* You two have a talent for making the awesome and hilarious. :D
Also OHMYVALAR LOOKIT THE BAAAAABYYYYYYY~ *incomprehensible squeeing*
Seriously, she's gorgeous. So happy for all of you. =D And Alex looks like he's totally getting into the big brother lark. :P
Mostly, anyway . . .
Thank you!
That can't have been easy.
Best of luck to you all, and the baby!
Or were you talking to hS? :P
Thank you!
*hugs all of you*
Hugs all around!
The baby is adorable.
I tend to agree. ;)
It's a baby! A baby! Yeah that's about the sum total of my vocabulary right now if I think too much about the baby. Also squees. Because baby. I'll be over there squeeing because baaaabyyyyy! Also, the story was awesome. But mostly BABY! And -- and -- the PICTURE!
Okay I am officially incoherent, see the subject line, -squeeeeeee-
Thanks!
hS
She's adorable!
...also, nice shirt, sir.
And thank you again. ;) I love those shirts - I've bought about half a dozen over the years from a tourist shop in Wales, but this one has always been my favourite.
hS
It seems she has already mastered the art of dramatic entrances.
Hopefully she'll give that a rest for a decade or two to give us a chance to recover...
hS
She is so adorable, oh my gosh! Congrats to all three of you, wow... :DDD
(I really think someday, if I get really bored, I may add to your collection of children's books on the PPC. :'D)
Since I have... um... one. I'm actually planning another, but you know me and plans...
Thanks!
hS
She's adorable. Congratulations!
I have to love your methods of announcing that you had a daughter. Because why pass up a good opportunity for writing?
I wonder how she's going to react when she finds this later?
Since she rightly pointed out it's exactly the sort of thing that would happen to Dafydd, too.
Ehm... heh. Probably roughly the same way she'll react when she discovers that one of her middle names is shared with a PPC Agent?
hS
And let me just say that she is not named after the agent, whatever lies hS may try to tell you. It's just a good name, whether for an agent or a poor helpless innocent baby . . .
They're both looking adorable!
Our not-so-baby-boy is fond of giving her kisses and, er, 'guggles'. It's extremely cute.
hS
Huh! Your family had there new kid within almost a year of mine!
But oh good Lord, don't let me take the spotlight off you here. Congratulations!
(And to think: I once believed that nobody on the internet ever had children. AH GAHD MAH CHILDHOOD)
Oh gosh I know. The internet is supposed to be full of 14-year-olds with heads made of candyfloss; when did this happen?
hS
Right?
"What?! Change?! On MY INTERNET?! Noooooooooooo!"
(in all seriousness, though, congrats on the new kidster.)
Congratulations guys.
Oh, she's so...so...sweet! Look at how little and pink and cute she is! Congratulations, you two!
And while I'm here, thank you for the postcard, too! It's always fun to have an internet person turn into a real person with handwriting and all...
hS
Squee and D'awww! She's beautiful! (And oh dear, her older brother is growing scarily fast. Didn't he used to be tiny?)
The first time I picked him up after holding his sister, I think he'd roughly doubled in weight. It was so tragic...
Fortunately he still has no brain, so I can still pretend he's my tiny boy.
Thank you!
hS
Ooh, so cute... Congrats, hS and Kaitlyn.
Aww, she's adorable! Good luck to both of you, and good job Huinesoron!
Yeah, I'm planning on adding it to my CV... :P
