RP: Meeting the bairns Who: Lavender, Dora When: September 16, 2009 Where: Dora's flat, Victory Road What: Lavender finally gets to meet Ainsley and McKay Warnings: None
At nearly thirty-six weeks pregnant, Lavender was more than ready to have this baby; little Cat or Hunter needed to be evicted and soon, please, before she started forgetting what it was like to be anything but an incubator with aches and pains and a bladder roughly the size of a pea. Apparently the baby was about the size of a honeydew melon and since Lavender herself was only five foot two that was a particularly uncomfortable mental image.
Her memory kept playing tricks on her too, and while she sometimes had trouble remembering whether she'd washed her hair or whether she'd already rewatched an episode of Confessions today, one thing she wasn't going to forget was that today she finally had the chance to visit Pandora and the twins. They'd been home for a little while now, but Lavender had come down with an unfortunate summer cold so hadn't even tried to organise a proper visit until she was well and truly over it.
As she waited for Pandora to open the door, Lavender was deeply regretting the glass of water she'd drunk earlier. Frowning to herself, relief spread across her features as the door opened. "Oh, my god, I need the loo." Lavender stepped inside. "Sorry. I will say hello properly in a minute!"
