[the days turned to weeks, weeks turned to mths as the gang went abt their business as usual. Once in a while, Wander will satisfy his urge for wanderlust as he goes on the occasional adventures with Sylvia, bringing the litters with them, but other than tht, they just pretty much stayed in the ship, enjoying family life while Hater does his conquering]
Wander: [just finished bathing n tucking the litters in for their nap, then meets Sylvia at the lounge room with a board game in hand] Hey, buddy~ Wanna play Candy Space?
Sylvia: :) Hey, buddy. Sure, why not?
Wander: [sat dwn n set up the board game] So, where is Hatey n Peeps conquering at this time?
Sylvia: Place that harvests pineapples, I forget the name ATM.
Wander: Ooh, pineapples. Wouldnt mind having some. Hope Hatey brings bk some to the ship wen he's done :p
Sylvia: hehe, maybe. (picks her playing piece, which was red)
Wander: [takes the blue playing piece] So~ Any progress on family planning btwn u n Peeps?
Sylvia: We've been trying at it but no signs just yet.
Wander: Well, I suppose these things can't be rushed. Its all in the luck of the draw [makes a move on his piece]
Sylvia: Yeah, I guess so.
Wander: How many do u plan to hv, if u succeed?
Sylvia: Maybe just start with one and see how we feel on wanting more babies.
Wander: I suppose tht's fair... [his nose caught something] U knw... Something seems to smell sorta... off frm u today
Sylvia: (blinked) What you mean?
Wander: I dunno... Just... something... [leans in close to sniff her, then blinked in realization] U knw wat? I may be just spitballing here, bt u might wanna test urself right now
Sylvia: :O Huh?
Wander: Just do it, then we'll see if I'm right [digs his hat n hands her a pregnancy test] Here, go on
Sylvia: (takes it) You really think that...?
Wander: [shrugged] Like I said, I'm just spitballing here. Wen was the last time u n Peeps did the hanky-panky?
Sylvia: (flushes) Well...
Wander: Come on, u can tell me. Just need to judge how far along u might be
Sylvia: It was before he had left to go conqueroring with Hater.
Wander: [tapped his chin] That's abt... 3 weeks ago? N how far along were u until u found out ur pregnant with Shelly?
Sylvia: Um... (trying to remember that time)
Wander: 2 weeks? 3? A mth?
Sylvia: I guess it was about a month.
Wander: Well, wat r u waiting for? Let's go test u out! :D [practically dragged Sylvia to his room n to his en-suite bathroom]
Sylvia: Okay, okay, don't be rushing me. ^^;;
Wander: Here we are, go on, I'll be right outside [ushered her to the bathroom]
Sylvia: (enters and closes door to do her business)
Wander: [waited outside, humming to himself]
(after about a minute... a thud is heard from the bathroom)
Wander: [blinked, then knocked on the door] Syl? Syl, buddy? U OK in there?
Sylvia: (doesn't answer)
Wander: I'm coming in! [tested the door n saw it wasn't locked n peeked in] Syl? R u OK? What's wrong?
Sylvia: (had plopped to the floor, jaw slightly slacked and staring wide eyed at the test in her hand)
Wander: [comes closer to her] Syl? U OK? [waved his hand at her eyes to bring her bk to reality] How's the test? Wats the result? [looked at it] It's green? Does tht mean...? :O
Sylvia: (barely heard) we did it...
Wander: [turns to her] Sorry, wat?
Sylvia: We... :D WE DID IT!!! (pulls Wander into an embrace) Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!
Wander: :o [was taken by surprise at first, then join in the embrace] Hooray~~ Congrats, buddy!! :D
Sylvia: :D Haha!
Wander: Can't wait to tell Hatey n Peeps the good news! Well, mostly Peeps, but yeah! Woohoo! This calls for us buddies a celebration!
Sylvia: (nod) It does.
Wander: [digs his hat n took out a bottle of sparkling cider n two glasses] Perfect! Thanks, Hatty
Sylvia: (giggle)
Wander: [popped the bottle n poured both of them a drink] To u n Peeps n ur upcoming baby~!
Sylvia: (takes her glass) This will be safe to drink with the baby right?
Wander: Its just cider. Its basically apple juice. Dont worry [clinked glasses with her n drank]
Sylvia: (nod) (sips hers as well)
Wander: Lucky u tho. U get to experience pregnancy as is. My pregnancy is always a haze, like I'm there, bt at the same time I'm not, no thanks to the feral state...
Sylvia: Yeah, but you still get to see the babies afterwards.
Wander: True. I just wish tht I could be sober enough tht I can do things on my own instead of Hatey having to do evrything for me
Sylvia: He tries, you know.
Wander: [nodded sadly] Yeah, I knw...
Sylvia: (hugs him)
Wander: [hugs her bk, then pulls away smiling] So, they're gonna be bk in abt a week or two. Wat say we throw a small surprise party for Peeps to announce ur happy news?
Sylvia: :) Sounds good.
Wander: [holds up the hat at his face] Gonna need ur help a little with this, OK, Hatty?
Hatty: [giving him a "Whatevr u say" smile]
Sylvia: ^^
