Ever since I got pregnant I find myself trying to 'adopt' stray kids and make sure they're taken care of. Is this normal behavior from me from what you two remember?

	Yup. Once Mom Mode kicked it, it applied to everybody. Not just kids, either. Sometimes you'd take in stray adults that needed it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-07 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	Huh. I just feel this urge to make sure everyone is taken care of. I guess that's why I'll have so many kids who knows. ~~and the sex probably has something to do with it too.~~ You and your sister are already ruining my waistline by the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You get it back so what's the problem? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-07 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	No problem I guess, just saying. Is it weird for you knowing you're in two places at once? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2013-12-07 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	It's a little strange, yeah. Knowing that I'm a fetus and an adult at the same time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-07 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	Good. It's strange for me too but I'm glad you're here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2013-12-07 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	I've seen you pregnant before but not with me so this is going to get stranger as time goes by. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-07 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	From what you've told me, seeing me pregnant seems to be the default from here on out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2013-12-07 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	Pretty much. There are a couple of years here and there that you actually go the whole year without being pregnant but for the most part, it's a steady thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-08 02:32 am UTC (link)
	A couple months ago that would have freaked me out, but it doesn't sound like such a bad thing now. I could do without the nausea though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2013-12-08 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	I'd love to tell you that it gets easier as time goes by but I'd be lying and you get this look when I lie to you that really terrifies me so..... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-08 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	As long as I'm not sick the entire nine months. It's supposed to get better after the first trimester right? Really? Even now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2013-12-08 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Just remember that every pregnancy is different. Even for the same woman. Yes, even now. Terrifies me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-08 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	You'd know more about it than I would, since you've seen me pregnant so much. New experience for me. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	sarah_sully 2013-12-08 04:23 am UTC (link)
	Yep. I often wondered if we would end up with brothers and sisters that weren't blood relation. Who are you trying to adopt? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-08 04:25 am UTC (link)
	I was trying to convince younger Harry to come stay with us for a while until he got used to things. He wasn't having it though so I told him to feel free to use the old apartment if he wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2013-12-08 04:44 am UTC (link)
	Oh yeah me too. I kinda saw how he responded to Mrs Hemingway. Didn't wanna creep him out. And I figure our old apartment has all the stuff fixed so he couldn't short it out, between me and you doing the fixing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-08 04:46 am UTC (link)
	Our magic doesn't quite work the way his does, but yeah it should hold up. I went over earlier to make sure it was cleaned up in case he does want to move in. That pretty much did me in for the day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2013-12-08 04:49 am UTC (link)
	Oh I know. I used to magic proof stuff for Harry... Uh, 20 years or so from now. Or just in general. It takes a lot of trial and error. Told mini Harry to let me know if anything explodes. Mom! You should have called me and Rachel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-08 04:53 am UTC (link)
	I didn't think about it? Next time I will, promise. I'm not used to having to take it easy, guess I'd better get used to it from what you and your sister have told me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2013-12-08 07:01 am UTC (link)
	Yep. And I really like being smart Mom. I really do, please take it easy pretty please? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-08 10:54 am UTC (link)
	I wouldn't do anything to endanger you two, I just have less energy to begin with these days. I didn't use any chemicals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2013-12-08 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	Oh the Chemicals were what I was worried about more than anything else. I didn't think you'd be picking anything up. And maybe some of the wards... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I just vacuumed, dusted and checked that all the spells were still working properly. And I left a batch of fresh chocolate chip cookies on the counter for him.

I've been using magic since I thought boys had cooties, don't worry about me and wards. There's never been any evidence that magic use while pregnant can harm the baby anyway. Unless you're using necromancy or something like that, which I wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll.

	Awww you're such a sweet Mommy. I know I know, but I haven't had any kids yet so how was I supposed to know? And yuck dead things are just yucky. Uh... Besides the vampires. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-08 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	I really don't know what's come over me. I wasn't this sappy before you all showed up. Necromancy changes a person, and not for the better. There's a reason most realities outlaw the practice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2013-12-08 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	I will gladly take the blame for that. I kinda like you all sappy and adorable. I wont touch it with a ten foot pole. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-08 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	You don't really know any different do you? Not that I was thrilled right away when you both showed up the first time. Better not! Or I'll turn you over my knee, or make your uncle do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2013-12-09 12:19 am UTC (link)
	No I don't. You might not have been but you were good with your Mom card. Uncle Jake is ten. It might be a little weird for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-09 12:20 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure he won't be ten forever. This island is weird like that. If I could get us all off of here and live someplace normal I'd do it in a heartbeat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarah_sully 2013-12-09 12:36 am UTC (link)
	I don't know that I'd want to go. I like it here. I mean all access to all sorts of worlds. It's amazing the places we go, the things we see. The people we meet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	izzyshaw 2013-12-09 12:44 am UTC (link)
	If I take you when you're a kid you won't have a say. You also have people dying or disappearing at the drop of a hat, if I had a chance I'd rather raise everyone someplace safer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, probably not.

We do. But we grew up with it, grew up knowing it's better to know the good people for the short amount of time that we know them that it is to not to have ever met them at all. You learn to treasure the moments you have, and the ones you had. You forget about the bad things people sometimes do and honor the good things they did.

Plus I don't know how many other places I can have six PhDs and be working on my seventh before I hit 25.

	How in the world can you get a college degree here, let alone a PhD? Not that I'm questioning your ability to get the knowledge assuming Tony and Bruce are still around by the time you're old enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, since there is no technical school here we can pretty much take the classes, do the work, fill in the time whenever. There's no set hours. It's more of a honorary thing. I mean I've done all the work, studied all the things in the glasses, had people that could fill in the gaps that are left out in books.

Mister Stark kinda prints the certificates out if we prove we have what it takes to have them.
