Who: Devyn Fairfax and Ophelia Sinclair
When: Evening
Where: Devyn's apartment
What: Pizza delivery
Devyn hadn't exactly expected for anyone to jump for joy at the prospect of helping out a pregnant professor, so she was pretty excited that she had at least one offer. And the prospect of a homemade pizza that wasn't terribly bad for her but would help with the cravings she always seemed to have had her stomach growling most of the afternoon.
The move across country had been stressful. She was far too pregnant to fly so she'd had to take the train which had taken a whole lot longer than a trip by plane would have. Couple that with the fact that the motion of the train had kept her sick for most of the trip, she was more than a little worn out. And stressed. An earlier conversation had her on edge tonight as she waited for some news that could have a potentially huge impact on her life going forward. All of this combined had led her to the decision to put off any more unpacking for the day and opt instead for a long soak in a hot tub while she waited for Ophelia to show.
Even now, at seven months along and with a huge baby bump to show for it, she had a hard time wrapping her head around the fact that she was pregnant. Motherhood was something she had thought about often back when she had been married, but after her marriage to JD had fallen apart, the idea of having a child had also fallen along the wayside and she had adjusted to the idea that motherhood probably wasn't in the cards for her. And now, here she was, finally having landed the job of her dreams only to have wound up accidentally knocked up following a drunken one-night stand with the very last person she ever thought she'd end up in bed with. God had a really strange sense of humor now and then.
