Flesh of My Blood-Chp91

[it wasn't until almost dawn tht the sound of the keycard for the penthouse suite opened the door, n in hobbled a dark figure into the room, looking ovr the Watchdog who had already came upstairs n was sleeping on the couch in front of the TV]

??: [whispered] Wat the... Wat r u doing sleeping here, pipsqueak...?

Peepers: |-) Zz.... (heard the voice) (yawn) ?

[the table light nxt to the couch was turned on, n the figure was revealed to be Sylvia, looking pretty banged up, bt otherwise in one piece]

Sylvia: Hey, pipsqueak. Wat r u doing here? U'll catch a cold

Peepers: :o (jumps up to give her a big hug)

Sylvia: [winced a little] Woah, hey, hey, easy. I got a few bruises n broken bones here n there [chuckles n hugged him bk anyway]

Peepers: :) (relieved she was alright)

Sylvia: :) How're u doing these days? Hv u been good with my friends?

Peepers: (nod) (holds out his hand to show her the device)

Sylvia: Wat's this? [looked at the gauntlet-looking arm armour for a bit n noticed] :O Is tht the translator device?

Peepers: (signs) It sure is. ;)

Sylvia: Oh my gob, it reli does work. I can finally hear ur voice :D

Peepers: :)

Sylvia: How did they manage? Must've been reli hard to get

Peepers: (signs) You'd have to ask them yourselves.

Sylvia: [sighed in relief] It's so good to finally understand u for real now. I bet Wander n Hater r gonna be amazed by it

Peepers: (nod) (signs) They sure will be.

Sylvia: [sighed tiredly] Sorry to cut us short. I'm reli beat right now. I'm gonna go take a bath n then go to bed. I'll tell u everything tht happened tomorrow, OK?

Peepers: (signs) Alright, you have a good sleep Syl. :)

Sylvia: :) Thanks [turned towards the bathroom, sighed as she secretly stroke her middle a little before entering the bathroom n drew a bath]

Peepers: (yawn) (heads for his own bed to get some sleep)

Sylvia: [as she soaked in the bath, looking at the mirror, unsure of how to break the news to Peepers, or not at all, as she sighed n laid back, savouring her warm bubble bath]

(thoughts of how Peepers would react to her hiding this from her ran through her mind)

Sylvia: [sighed n finished her bath before retiring to bed]

Peepers: (was in his bed) |-) Zzz...
