WHO Phil & Darcy
WHAT Chatting
WHEN Day after the bonfire
WHERE Waterfall
WARNINGS tbd, will update as necessary
STATUS Closed | Incomplete

Phil's life was going pretty damn well. He was relaxed, enjoying himself far more than he had in a long time, and sleeping with a few pretty fantastic ladies. He was particularly excited about Diana's pregnancy, as she'd just completed her first trimester as of today. Her body was starting to show the signs of her pregnancy and Phil was very much looking forward to having sex with her as often as possible during that time frame. Of course, one of the other lovely ladies he was always excited to see was Darcy. Whatever had happened at one of the previous bonfires had made things a bit tricky, since he'd gotten far too honest than he should have.

Wanting to rectify that, as well as get them back on track, Phil invited her to the waterfall for a swim. He'd swiped a couple of beers from the bonfire last night and brought those with him. He left them on top of one of the rocks higher up from the water, along with his clothes, and chose to swim for a bit before Darcy met up with him.

Darcy was a little anxious about going to meet Phil. The last time they really hung out, things got a little awkward, but she was hopeful that whatever was making things weird that night was a one off type of thing like the sex cookies and they'd be back to what passed for normal this time.

When she got to the waterfall, she stood quietly and watched him swim for a few moments before making her presence known. He really was an attractive man and incredibly fit for someone his age. It was hard for her to reconcile this image of him with the man she met all those years ago in New Mexico.

"Hey," she said, settling on the edge of a rock and dangling her bare feet into the water.

Phil turned when he heard her, but he had an inkling of someone watching him for a few moments before that. He didn't mind her looking, not even a little bit. "Oh hello," he greeted, swimming toward her with a smile. Darcy usually made him smile when she wasn't teasing him to the point of incoherence. Although, to be fair, he usually did the same to her.

He tread water right in front of her and tugged playfully on her toes. "Going to join me, or are you just going to enjoy your free show?" Phil teased. He wouldn't mind at all if she just wanted to watch him for a little while longer. "There was pizza and beer last night. I snagged a couple of beers for us, if you wanted." Just something to drink that they didn't get to have all that often.

"I think I'm going to sit here and enjoy the view," Darcy said with a grin. "And maybe have one of those beers." The beer and pizza was a nice surprise from the gods and she was impressed that he had the forethought to snag a few for them to enjoy today.

Maybe she'd jump in and swim a little later, but for right now, she was feeling kind of lazy. "What have you been up to?"

"Well in that case..." Phil grinned and pushed off the rock so he could float away a bit, just to give her even more of a show. "Things have been pretty quiet," he said, still floating as he answered her question about what he'd been up to.

"Steve and Natasha are going to find out about the sex of their baby soon. I'm excited about that. We should be able to find out about Diana soon, too, if she wants to know. I don't have a preference, myself." He'd honestly not realized that he hadn't told her about Diana's pregnancy just yet, though he had mentioned Natasha and Steve's. "Ella's pregnant again. I've been put in charge of cooking anything with pork, since that seems to upset her stomach a bit." He rather liked the younger blonde, so he was more than happy to help where she couldn't just because of how her body reacted to pregnancy.

"I'm not so sure that's going to be her last one, either." She seemed like the sort who enjoyed being pregnant.

Darcy watched with great interest as he floated. It was nice listening to him talk and she nodded with all of the news he was sharing. She hadn't heard that Ella was pregnant again, but that was definitely exciting. At some point, she would probably need to carry a child for Arva, but she wasn't ready for that yet.

After a moment, she rewound what Phil said and frowned. "Wait, what?" she asked. "You and Diana are having a baby?" How come she didn't know that? Why hadn't he told her that he was going to be a father?

Phil's expression crinkled a bit in confusion when she questioned him about Diana's pregnancy. Hadn't he told her that already? "Yea, she just finished her first trimester, with the acceleration," he replied, cautious now that he'd apparently not told her about the fact that Diana was pregnant. Even though he didn't owe her an explanation of any kind, Phil found that he wanted to explain.

"She was ready to have a kid. We discussed it first, came to an agreement that she would give the baby to Arva and that we weren't exclusive by any means. I go with her to the clinic for check ups." He paused for a minute there, debating on whether or not it he should tell her about the fact that he and Diana were having sex occasionally. Phil didn't tell her about who he was having sex with or when, and likewise she didn't tell him about who she was having sex with. Since she'd made it clear she wasn't looking to get pregnant, he hadn't even considered it something that would bother her. So he waited to see what her reaction was going to be.

It shouldn't bother Darcy that Phil was having a kid with someone else. They didn't have any sort of claim to each other, both slept with whoever they wanted, whenever they wanted. But for some reason, it stung a little that he hadn't wanted to have a baby with her. Even though she didn't think she was ready for one yet.

"Oh, that's great," she said, forcing a smile. "I'm sure Arva will be very pleased by that. And you might even get to meet your kid." That was kind of a weird thing about this place, but also kind of cool.

Something was off. Phil could tell because her smile didn't seem quite right and that worried him. Had he hurt their relationship by having a child with Diana? What was it going to mean for them going forward? He was nervous because he did care for Darcy more than he'd ever imagined he would. If he'd really thought it would be a problem, he would have discussed it with her first. Tentatively, he swam back over to her.

"I'm sure she will be, and yea. Maybe." He reached out to tug on her toes playfully. "You okay with that?" Phil knew he couldn't take it back, but maybe it could mean something for what was going to come between the two of them.

	"Why wouldn't I be?" Darcy asked. It didn't make sense that it was bothering her. Having children for Arva was one of the reasons they were here. She could hardly be upset with Phil for deciding to do just that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I don't know," he replied honestly. "Have you given any more thought to having kids?" Because she'd been very clear at the outset and there hadn't been any kind of indication that she'd changed her mind or was even thinking about kids. Phil would have been lying if he said he didn't want to go through this whole process with Darcy. Phil just wasn't sure if pressing her, no matter how gently, was the right way to go. He didn't want to scare her off.

	Darcy shrugged. "I mean, eventually I'm going to, yeah," she said. "I haven't decided when or with who or anything though." Though she had definitely considered that Phil would be a good choice when she was ready to take that step. Now that he was having a child with someone else, she wasn't sure if he'd want to offer support through another pregnancy though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Phil breathed a sigh of relief at that. "That's good." At least she hadn't decided yet, so it wasn't like he'd have to watch her go through it with another man's child. That felt like a wrench in his gut to even think that it might be something he'd have to face. Maybe it gave too much away, but he did his best to keep his expression even.

"If you want to talk about it..." he trailed off, the offer clear and honest in that. All Phil wanted was for Darcy to be happy. If that was with him - and he hoped it was - that was great.

	"Talk about... you mean with you?" Darcy asked, hoping she was understanding his offer correctly. Because she had been thinking about asking Phil when she was ready and hearing that he decided to go there with someone else was a little upsetting though she didn't care to examine why she felt that way.

"Yes," he replied, simple and honest. Phil stopped himself from saying anything else about it, worried he might scare her off or make her feel pressured into making a decision or thinking that he needed that from her. "Once you're ready," he added, to let her know that he didn't expect it to come anytime soon necessarily. He would wait for however long he needed to wait for, and if things changed one way or another, at least he'd made the offer.

After a long moment, he sent a few flicks of water at her. "Now, are you going to join me?"

Hearing that Phil was willing to father her child when she was ready lifted a weight Darcy wasn't aware of until it was gone. She would have to consider why that was later, when she didn't have a very attractive naked man beckoning her to join him in the water.

"Oh, I suppose I can do that," she said, setting aside her beer and standing up. She made a big show of pulling off her shirt and stepping out of her shorts, pausing for a moment to he could get a good look at her before she jumped in the water.
