The last week and a half had been a learning experience, and the one thing that Lyle had learnt was that he wasn't anywhere near ready to deal with getting someone pregnant. He'd been doing his best to help Bonnie was much as he could, but he had to admit, he was pretty damn flaily most of the time. To be fair, though, only part of the flaily was him not knowing how to help with the rather severe effects of pregnancy. It was also equal parts him not being very familiar with Bonnie and him not knowing exactly what would be taken the wrong way if he did try. All the same, he'd done his best with what he could and had made the maximum effort not to put his foot in his mouth, and he thought he'd actually managed it pretty well.

Right now, though, Lyle was probably more relaxed than he'd been during any time spent alone with Bonnie because of the sheer fact that they weren't alone. Having invited Jeremy and his awkward cohabitation partner over so that they could all spend at least one evening in company that wasn't enforced by Asaph's decree.

Returning from the kitchen, a bowl of popcorn in one hand and a phone in the other, Lyle flashed everyone assembled a bright smile as he flopped down on the couch, plopping the popcorn bowl on the coffee table within arm's length of all of them. "Pizza's on its way. All we have to do know is make awkward conversation for the thirty minutes that it takes to get here," He said with a playful wink. "Who wants to throw out a first topic for conversation?"
