You're not talking about giving birth to an actual acorn right?

[faeshim]

i'm pretty sure it will have arms and legs and a head with the prettiest features!

and possibly a tail.

[privatechat]

In humans it takes 9 months before a baby is born.

why would it have a tail?!

[faeshim]

it's probably the same. six months or a year or somewhere in between then.

it's only half-human. it might have a tail.

[ The lack of a definitive answer makes Lennon more nervous! How can he make sure everything is ready if he doesn't know when?! ]

There's no way to be sure how long?

Do fae usually have tails? You didn't have a tail...

[faeshim]

i can see if anyone knows.

[daeshim figures it will just...pop out when it's ready.]

they might run in the family. i wasn't close enough to my own parents to know.

i hope it has your height. and your smile.

[privatechat]

We'll figure it out...

[ Lennon lets his focus shift to thinking about the actual new life they're wanting to create. He chews on his lip. ]

I hope it has your eyes and your laugh.

[faeshim]

we will.

i bet it will like to dance too!

[privatechat]

Like you?

I just..want it to be happy and to feel loved.

[faeshim]

we will make sure of that, all of us.

and you will be the best with it. i have no fears of that at all.

[privatechat]

Mm...

Why do you believe that?

[faeshim]

because you've given me a great deal of love. and you'll give it twice as much.

[privatechat]

What if I fuck up?

[faeshim]

then we will fix it.

[privatechat]

You always know what to say.

[faeshim]

because i can't lie, and all that's left is the truth.

[privatechat]

Will they be able to lie?

[faeshim]

maybe! they will be human too.

[privatechat]

I have so many questions but I don't think either of us have the answers.

[faeshim]

it will be like a glorious surprise!

oh

do you think there is blood when a baby is born?

[privatechat]

usually…

[faeshim]

[he's quiet for a minute.]

well. that is good to know beforehand. it would make for an unpleasant surprise, i think.

[privatechat]

are you going to be okay with that…?

[faeshim]

i am. it is blood well worth it.

[privatechat]

we can try and make sure you don’t see any…
