I think I severely underestimated what it would be like, exactly, to be pregnant in July. Flowy maternity dresses, mocktails, and homemade popsicles have been my lifesavers. I basically just feel like a hot water bottle and I've still got months to go.

Though it is interesting feeling him move more. Interesting to want to organize the nursery to oblivion and then cry when it doesn't look right. And to know that I'm gaining weight specifically for the purposes of 'maternal stores of fat.'

I also started my fourth set of dreams. Demonic monsters on a killing spree - this can only be a job for a ramshackle team of those who dabble in the occult, and I know just who I have to see to get that started. Turns out he is just as prickly there as he is here, but I think I would be worried if he wasn't.

	We haven't officially assembled yet, but Bruce came to see me after a show and was quite adamant about finding you. Even though I explained things were awkward between us. private What sort of signal? A middle finger, maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When are they not? At least we're consistent. Surprised the Bat has come scouring looking for the dark arts when he doesn't believe in magic...even though his best friends are a demigod and an alien... private Sure love. Anything that helps. It's not an inconvenience, yeah? I'm just..you know. ~~It's scary sometimes~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think he and his ilk tried to stop all the killings but realized they needed us. That does seem to happen. private My hormones will balance out eventually, but I'll do my best to not give you the fear with my sobbing. I realize it's kind of a whiplash. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But of course. Giving us shit all the while we do the work they pretend doesn't exist. Wanks. private Your hormones are fine, darling. You're fine. I just wish I had baby/mother intuition and knew what could be done for you is all. But you already know I'm at your disposal for anything so that part is covered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe one day we'll actually be acknowledged as full-fledged Justice League members. private Of course. I think just ride the roller coaster as we get the nursery set up, that'll be helpful enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll pretend I never saw you write that. private I'll have pickle jars stationed at every corner of the room. You think those defibrillator things work? Maybe that'll help. Oh and look what I found. Organic bedsheets. How in the hell. Organic. Bedsheets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean like if I'm going into cardiac arrest? Aw, those are wonderful. And at 100% cotton they'll be nice and comfortable too, for the littlest bunny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What? No a smelly thing. A defribuer. Defuser. I don't bloody know this crap. If we were the worst parents in the world we'd build him a hutch outside with the rest. This does not mean I am alright with putting him in a rabbit suit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private cigam 2017-07-15 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, like for aromatherapy and such? He'd look so cute in a bunny suit though! I could pull him out of my tophat during shows when he's a bit more sturdy. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private incendium 2017-07-15 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yes! That. I already know that you've got a photoshoot planned for it and everything. I'm not going to bother to try to save him from it. Sorry son, nothing to be done about it. Oh Cheryl is utterly thrilled about everything. And will probably call or text you instantly. I'm sorry. I had to make empty threats to keep her from flying over here now.

	private cigam 2017-07-16 12:11 am UTC (link)
	Well, I am all for a defibrillator-defuser, darling. Maybe I do. And your sister can feel free to call or text me anytime. I'm actually looking forward to meeting her in person when we fly over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Shut it. Don't even make jokes about it.

Yeah, well, prepare to be smothered. You know those women who were just meant to be mothers? The sort that just always mothered ~~even if ours died and that's just the role she took~~ everyone even at the age of seven?

Also? Ignore the prattling about you just showing up randomly. She's been annoying about it. I just don't call her as often as she'd like me to because she's not my mother, and I haven't quite figured out how to tell her I've known you several lifetimes over.

	Not going to happen, handsome. She sounds very sweet. And I don't think we have to tell her that we've been together on and off for technically several lifetimes either, no. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private incendium 2017-07-16 01:11 am UTC (link)
	She is. Too sweet. No but she's trying to wrap her head around my being here a year, am going to be married and a father without her hearing about you once. ((ooc holy fuck has he really been here over a year now what is life)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private cigam 2017-07-16 01:19 am UTC (link)
	Well, considering how terrible you are at telling people things it's really not that surprising. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd say it's their business to know when it's their business to know. You know how much of a chatter box I am. (Reply to this) (Parent)
