I had a dream. About the Battle of Hogwarts. But it wasn't Neville's memory, it was Harry's.

WHO: Abby and Leo Moore
WHEN: Night of February 7, 2020
WHERE: Their home
SUMMARY: Abby gets news from her sisters about their pregnancies and starts to put things together.
WARNINGS: None
 
( 'How would you like to be a dad again?' )

JACK & NICK

I learned something new this weekend. I learned why doctors give new parents a six week waiting period. I learned this, it so happens, by finding out that the Moore family is increasing by at least 1 in nine months.

FOSTER & LORELEI

I have news.

[Darling Dads - Theo & Leo]

Okay, so, we're doing this.

Holy shit.

That's ... about all I've got, really. But it seemed like I should say something.

[Kanes - Mo & Maeve]

The two of you are going to be aunts in September.

Keep it quiet for now, please. Including mom. I'll tell her in person eventually. Dottie is under enough public scrutiny without everything this will bring.

[Abby, Leo, Foster]

Happy birthday, Leo! I hope you have the very best sort of day, filled with all of your very favorite things. Foster and I are so glad to have gotten to know you a little better, these last few months. Thank you for allowing us in.

We'd like to gift you and Abby with a date night, though I realize, of course, that it's probably much too soon for you to really want to take advantage of it just yet. Whenever you are, though, just say the word, and you'll have dinner and a hotel/airbnb stay on us, anywhere between DC and Richmond.

LEO & ABBY

I know it's last minute, so no big deal if you guys already have plans. Phoebe and I were talking about going out to dinner on Friday this week. Would you two be interested in joining us?

[Foster]

Dottie and I have been married for a month today, so, checking in as promised.

Yep, definitely still glad we did it. Especially without all the froufrou in advance. 🤷‍♂️

[Dottie]

One month! 🙌🙌

Mo finally did text me back, by the way. I guess she was [...] upset that I'd taken your name, and hadn't told her about it. Thought that it meant I was disowning her and Maeve? 🤦‍♂️ I think it's all sorted, though. Back to our regularly scheduled ambivalence.

[Darlings + Partners]

I've been texting Mama Darling, and she and I have got Thanksgiving covered this year. I mean, if there's something you have a special desire to cook, yourself, let me know, but otherwise- we'll get the rest. I figure it's the least I can do in thanks for you all accepting me into the family.

I did invite my sisters to join us, though I doubt Mo will. Maeve might, depending on what she might be doing with her school friends. She's much tamer than Mo. Not that that's saying much.

[Mo]

I assume you're sticking with Hannah and Cerys, but if you need (or want) a place to go for Thanksgiving, you're welcome to join the extended Darling group.

MOORES, DARLINGS, & JACK

So I know there were a lot of false alarms the last couple of weeks, but they just actually admitted me and gave me a hospital gown so apparently this is actually happening this time. I'm skeptical, because I'm sure I'm meant to be pregnant forever.

But just in case the doctor isn't playing a cruel prank, we wanted to let you know. 🙆🏼‍♀️

Based on the conversation we had on here recently, I compiled a list of everyone who is Dreaming--both public and anonymously. Out of respect for your interests, I only included those who specifically commented to be included on the list. In addition to compiling the list, I have also put together a semi-brief document for those who have questions about these Dreams since we continue to have a lot of newcomers who are otherwise unprepared for when these Dreams hit...or are just super confused by at the talk of Dreams on this network.

The resource (which includes the list of Dreamers) can be found here.

I wanted to go ahead an open this post up, as well, for anyone who wants to add their User ID (public or anonymous) to this list, or potentially update their information on the list. I only included Sources that have been discussed publicly on this network, regardless of whether or not I was familiar with a Source existing here. So for anyone listed as Not Disclosed, it is entirely up to you as to whether or not you want that "spoiled" for you.

Which also raises another question which I would like to answer on the list. If you are on this list, do you want a) others to reach out to you and/or b) others to give you information about your Source if they know it? Please answer below, if you can or want to!

Found my Halloween costume!

TEXTS TO PHOEBE

-- Are you free on the 26th?
-- Dottie and Duncan are having a Halloween party.

TEXTS TO LEO

-- What do you guys need still for the babies?

[ABBY, TESSA, AND LEO]

Household meeting time.

What are your thoughts/feelings about expanding our household by one fiancé and two cats?

Hi, everyone! Another post so soon? Thanks to Naomi's brilliant idea, I'm going to put together a resource accessible to anyone dealing with the Dreams that essentially just lists who is being dreamed of and any other pertinent details you might think need to be included for others to identify that they're at least sharing dreams about the world even if they don't know the name. For example, it might look like:

Leia Organa-Solo - From Alderaan, daughter of Breha and Bail Organa
Han Solo - Made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, from Corellia

Just leave a note here, anonymously or not, letting me know the name of who you are dreaming about and anything else you want to mention. If you want YOUR name attached to it, as well, for shared dreamers to more easily get in touch with you, let me know. Otherwise, I'll attach your Anon ID so that others can filter you anonymously!

This is totally optional, but I hope you'll consider doing it, at least anonymously!

All right, my friends, this one can relate to the Dreams, or just your life here. Commenter's choice! Anonymously, or not anonymously, tell me what song--or songs--is stuck in your head or on repeat on your Spotify playlists. Drop a link, share lyrics, whatever you want. And feel free to provide context, or not. Anything goes. I just want to know what's currently on your soundtrack.

LEO

Hi, baby. I'll be leaving work soon, but I've been having some thoughts and I wanted to get your opinions.

Time for another anon post, if you're so inclined to jump in. Your responses can, as always, be public or anonymous, whichever makes you most comfortable.

Is there anyone from your other life that you wish was here with you, that you could see and talk to in whatever capacity? Assume for the purpose of this post that your response does not come with the unintended consequence of wishing dreams/memories on another individual. This just piggybacks off of the last post when we talked about things you wish you could say to someone back there, or here.

[OOC: Pretend I posted this on time yesterday.]
