"I knew you'd agree with me," Amelia said jokingly, giving her a wink. "After all, who really argues with a pregnant woman? Only someone with a death wish," she said, laughing a bit at herself and taking the bottle of water from Marlene, nodding at her request and worry. It was a tad adorable. Closing her eyes and taking a drink, she tried not to imagine how the water was behaving in this weird fog/gravity nonsense. She was already sick to her stomach, and she figured over thinking it would just make her want to vomit, and she was really trying to avoid that one.
"I'm hoping the speed walking thing will do the trick," Amelia said with a nod. "And don't feel bad about the vomiting part. I've been trying to not do that since I got stuck out here. I figured maybe if I wandered for a bit it would stop, just kind of a mini prank. But this continuing bullshit? I am not so happy about." At that final part about being high though, Amelia laughed out loud. "Is it awful to say I miss being able to drink and make awful decisions? Probably not the wisest words of a mother to be..." But it was true. Amelia was just downright giddy about being able to drink a beer after all of this was over. She felt kind of terrible about it, but she didn't realize how much she liked being able to make that decision until she couldn't anymore. Go figure.
"Hey, don't blame me, blame him," she said with a playful frown, pointing down at her huge stomach. "I swear to fucking Merlin he's going to come out and just be Gideon, between his appetite and inability to find a comfortable position, therefore sticking his feet, hands, whatever body part he can manage in my rib cage and my back." It probably didn't help that Amelia's chattering mirrored Marlene's. She couldn't shut up when she was nervous.
"Let's try to get the hell somewhere upright, yeah? That was the plan. And then we can be safe and not upside down and we can throw up and then eat cookies and everything will be hunky dory again," she said, looking over at her friend. "Although you're going to have to help me up. Pregnant women are helpless when they sit down, I swear."
