In the woods: Iris / Manning
Well it's hard for them not to be on my mind when you talk about them. It's a vicious cycle. [There's laughter in her voice. And no, she refuses. She wants at least a year (preferably two?) without being pregnant. She needs a break.
Being wrapped in Manning is always calming in a way (even when they move into activities that are definitely not calm), and it's easy to relax against him. She notices that he's not telling her much about his night at all, but she doesn't push. Like most everything else, she figures that if it's something he wants her to know, that he'll tell her. And at the mention of the pumpkin, she smiles and turns her head enough to peer at him.] Your great pumpkin went into labor.
