Four days of nonstop rain had most of the people on the island feeling out of sorts and on edge. At least the main camp area stayed dry the past few days so that they could begin building the medical center, but Sydney was glad she suggested another bonfire for this evening, figuring that everyone could use an opportunity to relax and socialize. Maybe by fostering the sense of community even more, they would appease the gods and finally get the sunshine back.

There was plenty of food available for everyone and the fire was blazing for both light and warmth. Off to one side, the finished boards were set up for Cam's bean bag toss game. They really did need to figure out some additional leisure activities they could partake in here without equipment. It was too bad they didn't have a radio.

	Nope. No sharing. Maria would happily talk about SHIELD or the Avengers but not about herself. No one needed to take on that baggage. Bad enough she carried it. "You planning on kids?" Safe enough subject since that was one of the main reasons they were here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, that's why we're here, isn't it?" He said. "I guess I would be up for it if someone asked me, as long as they were planning on giving it to Arva. But if they wanted to keep it...well, I'd have to think a little more about that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maria nodded. She hadn't planned on the pregnancy thing until they were all more settled and comfortable. Primarily that was because of her opinion on the whole thing. "That choice to give them to Arva is a nice option, but I intend on raising any I have. I'm an all in kind of person." And she intended to do better by any kid of hers than her dad did by her.

	Well, Reese really couldn't argue with that. He nodded, although he really hadn't thought through what he wanted when it came to having kids. That whole thing was pretty hypothetical for him, still. "Wrll, I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding people to have kids with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maria's brows lifted a little as she looked at Reese. Then she grinned as she gave a wry little chuckle. "I don't know about that," she said. "I'm not the most personable type. My rough edges have rough edges." She didn't sound bothered by that, however. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That isn't necessarily w bad thing, you know." He grinned a little as he looked at her. "Not everyone likes soft women." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A short laugh came from her.. "Okay I can't argue against that." She'd known too many soldiers and agents for that. "But I'd be willing to bet my still useless Glock most of the guys here feel like you do about keeping the kids." She shrugged a shoulder. "Doesn't matter to me, though. I wouldn't make anyone responsible for something they didn't want.. Between that, and not being attracted to every male here it narrows the pool."

Huh. That surprised Reese a little. He raised an eyebrow at that comment. He'd thought that all of the girls here - yes, all of them - were super attractive, and he was pretty sure he'd sleep with any of them if they asked. He assumed it was the same with the girls. Maybe girls were just...pickier. Or something.

He shrugged.

"Well, maybe you should talk to the ones that you are interested in."

Maria had already been rejected once. Her ego wasn't the type to be bruised that easily, but she wouldn't go looking in that corner again. There was the other problem of a lot of these guys were far younger than she was.

"I will," she said. "When the time is right. I can't offer a kid much of a life right now. That wouldn't be fair to the child or the people of the community."

	"Well, I don't think anyone really expects us to do more than we can, you know?" Arva wasn't there forcing them to get pregnant or anything. In fact, it seemed to him that as long as they were happy, Arva was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh definitely," Maria said, quick to agree with him. Even if they all were busting their asses to get the medical facility up and running because two girls decided getting pregnant right away was a great idea. There really was something to the saying "It takes a village...".

"That's my point." She shrugged a shoulder. "I wouldn't expect the father of any child I want to have to be part of the raising if they didn't want to. I'm used to relying only on myself."

	Reese smiled and nodded. "Looks like you're going about this the right way, then," he said with a smile. "We're a community, anyway, so I don't think you'd have to worry." He looked into the fire for a long moment. "Anyway, I'm exhausted from building all day so I think I'm going to head off to bed. But if you need anything, let me know, yeah?"

	Maria blinked for the offer and her brows lifted. Did she offend him somehow? Face value seemed like a better option. "Yeah sure. You too." (Reply to this) (Parent)
