Izzy turned off the welding torch and pushed up her mask before inspecting her handiwork. The weld looked solid enough, and it was the last one she'd needed to finish before calling the frame for her latest contraption complete. Once it finished cooling she could start installing components inside the metal framework. Nodding in satisfaction, she pulled off her gloves and took the mask the rest of the way off her head.

She'd put as much time in her workshop as she could lately, trying to finish her latest project before being pregnant got in the way. Many times she'd bring the girls with her and put them in a playpen, but not when she was welding. The risk of something happening and one of them getting burned somehow was just something she wasn't prepared to tolerate. Izzy was giving herself until the end of the year to get the physical work done with the project, the coding and spellcasting she could do even when big as a whale but once she started getting awkward and clumsy she wasn't going to risk hurting herself or her babies. Given how her abdomen was already starting to puff out a little and buttoning her jeans getting to be a chore she was pretty sure it was twins again, which meant she had weeks, not months.

The growling of her stomach roused her from her thoughts and she glanced up at the clock on the wall of the old service station she'd converted into her workshop. It was already past one and she hadn't had hardly anything to eat that morning, her stomach not wanting to keep anything down. Now she was starving.

"All right, all right. I get it." She said aloud. "I'll eat."

She finished stripping off her welding gear and put everything back in its proper place before grabbing her jacket and stepping outside. It was brisk and sunny, just cold enough to let a person know it was fall and winter was on it's way but not so cold as to freeze.

The diner was just around the block and Izzy made her way there in no time at all.

	"Thanks Lacy." Izzy smiled at the compliment. "I guess I can take credit since they're mine genetically, but considering most of them haven't even been born yet I can't claim credit for anything more than that. The island certainly does keep things 'interesting' but it does screw with your head sometimes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It does do that." Lacey agreed. She seen more loss and crises on the island than she ever could have imagined back home. And yet she was happy. The island had given her Daniel and a new way of looking at life too. "But for me right now, the good is far outweighing the bad." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, I'd seen Daniel was back. Congratulations." She smiled at the other woman, then was reminded of the reason she'd come to the diner in the first place by the growling of her stomach. "All right already!" Izzy exclaimed, glancing down at her middle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thank you." Lacey instantly felt as if she had been slacking off. "Oh, sorry. Do you know what you'd like to order?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not your fault," Izzy waved off the apology. "I should have said something and I was enjoying a little adult conversation." She pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Can I get a grilled ham and cheese and a bowl of tomato soup?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Absolutely." Lacey replied. That was classic comfort food, easy enough to make. "Coming right up. Do you have a preference for type of cheese?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Cheddar and Swiss." Izzy didn't even hesitate. It wasn't a combination she'd normally have but for some reason it sounded really good today. "Thank you Lacey." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Coming right up." Lacey promised and headed into the kitchen. (Reply to this) (Parent)
