[they were soon at the cabin]
Sylvia: |-)
Hater: Umm... Should we wake her or something...?
Peepers: (signs) She has been pretty tired since her mission.
Janet: Don't worry, I can handle that [helped everyone except Sylvia out of the carriage first, then dematerialized n formed into some sort of hammock, carrying Sylvia in her before slowly carrying her to the cabin n thru her room window before gently settling her on the bed] There, all done
Hater: Wow, handy.. :O
Wander: Yup, it sure is. :)
Janet: Hmph, don't get too used to it. I'm not a maid or anything [shrank her vines bk n disappeared]
Hater: |-( Charming as usual
Peepers: ^^;;
Hater: Is Sylvia reli OK tho? I hv the feeling that something's a bit off abt her... (think)
Peepers: (signs) Well she did order more food even though she had her breakfast... (think)
Wander: (think)
Hater: [rubbed his chin] Hmm... [shrugged] Oh well, maybe she reli needed to eat since she's been at a mission for so long
Wander: It could be that.
Hater: So u wanna see the litter? U hv been gone for a while, the litter needs to familiarize with u, especially Dipper
Peepers: (nod) (signs) Sure.
Hater: [led him to the nursery, where Wildflower was in there watching them]
Wildflower: Oh, look who's finally bk! I was wondering wat was all tht noise going on in Sylvia's room [gets up n hugs the Watchdog]
Peepers: ^//^ (hugs back)
Hater: Hey, Mama, guess wat? [nudged Peepers a little] Show her
Peepers: (signs) Surprise from Peepers. :)
Wildflower: :O Oh my gob, Peepers! Is that ur voice?
Peepers: (shows the gizmo, signing) This helps me talk now.
Wildflower: Oh that is amazing, Peepers. I can finally hear u now [hugs him again]
Peepers: ^^
Wildflower: U here to see the litter?
Peepers: (nod) (signs) I am.
Wildflower: [makes way for him to see the litter all sprawled on the playmat like little kitties, just rumbling n tumbling ard]
Hater: Aww~ There's my darling little puppies... <3
Peepers: :) (sees Dipper) (signs) You say he can't hear anything?
Hater: [shook his head] No, not a thing. In layman's terms, the doc said he's born without earholes to hear, n surgery is too risky n might not evn work
Peepers: (think) (turns to Hater, signs) Repeat what I'm do, alright?
Hater: Umm... OK?
Peepers: (moves his hands slowly for Hater to imitate) Mo...mmy... Mom...my...
Hater: [tries to copy him] Mo...mmy... Umm, but he's not even a yr old yet. U think he would understand...?
Peepers: (signs) Babies tend to mimic what their parents do, don't they? See if it works.
Hater: [bit his lip, unsure, bt turns to Dipper anyways n waved his hand to get his attention]
Dipper: (looks at Hater) :)?
Hater: [did wat Peepers taught him n signed n spoke at the same time] Mommy... It's me, Mommy. Say Mommy...
Dipper: (stares for a bit till slowly trying to imitate what Hater was doing)
Peepers: :)
Hater: Yes, it's Mommy... [smiled thru happy tears]
Wildflower: Awww... Is that sweet~ <3
Dipper: ^^ (continues repeating the gestures of 'Mommy')
Peepers: :D (signs) See, he's got it.
Hater: [picks him up n hugs him happily in tears, kissing him over n over again]
Dipper: (giggle)
Wander: (pokes head in) Hey. Am I interupting anything?
Hater: Look, Master [demonstrated it so Dipper can copy him]
Dipper: (gestures 'Mommy') ^^
Wander: ?
Peepers: (signs) He's saying Mommy.
Wander: :) Ah.
Hater: His first "word", isn't it amazing?
Wildflower: It's amazing n adorable at the same time
Wander: (nod) Indeed.
Peepers: :)
Wildflower: So how did it go? Did u manage to solve Hatey's status problem?
Wander: Sylvia's pretty deep in slumberland so we don't know just yet.
Wildflower: Slumberland, huh? Hold tht thought. Peepers, u want to hv anything to drink? Can I get u something to nibble on?
Peepers: (think (signs) Just some water will be fine.
Wildflower: (nod) [left the room to get it, but made a pit stop to chk on the sleeping zbornak for a while, rubbing her chin in thought] Hmm... [returns to the nursery] Here ya go, Peepers [hands him the water]
Peepers: (takes it/signs) Thanks. :)
Wander: So, about Sylvia...
Wildflower: [interrupts] Umm, Peepers, sorry to ask u this wen u just got bk, but would u be a dear n keep an eye on the litter for me? I need Hatey n Wandy for something
Hater: (thinks: Huh?)
Peepers: (signs) Um, sure.
Wildflower: Thanks [smiled widely before taking Hater n Wander's hand n dragged them to the living room]
Wander: Mama?
Hater: Wat's wrong, Mama?
Wildflower: Shhh, don't u think Sylvia is a bit off?
Wander: Well, yes...?
Hater: Yeah, I felt that too, like it's more than just fatigue from her mission. It's like she's tired from...
Wildflower: Being pregnant? Yeah I thought so
Wander: :O Wait, what??
Wildflower: Shhh~~ I don't think Peepers knws yet. N Sylvia knws n probably nvr told him
Hater: But can u tell she's pregnant?
Wildflower: Maternal instincts, mostly. And...well, she smelled a little off. Didn't u pick up the scent too, Wandy?
Wander: No, not really...but still, she's usually safer then that...
Hater: But u nvr picked up my scent wen I was pregnant n first got here.
Wildflower: Well, it's more of a Star Nomad trait, specially wen they've already been pregnant before, so their olfactory senses r a little heightened to detect other pregnant species. Ur a Skeletor, n ur pregnancy was more of energy than biology, so maybe that's why I don't smell it
Hater: Geez, they must've been really drunk or distracted for her to mess up like tht
Wander: (facepalm) She just can't help herself, can she?
Hater: Doesn't she take, like, birth control or something?
Wander: She does with that needle of hers, but...I'm guessing she either forgot to pack that or just didn't use it.
Wildflower: Either way, my gut instinct tells me that she knows she's pregnant n she hasn't told Peepers yet. N I bet she'll be angry at us if we do
Hater: Maybe she plans to tell him herself at the right time?
Wildflower: They've been at that mission for close to two months. She would've told him by now. I don't think she plans to tell him at all
Wander: Must be cause she's worried he isn't ready to be a father.
Hater: Maybe. But she can't hide from him forever. She's gonna show sooner or later n he'll find out, n that wouldn't be pretty
Wildflower: That's why I'm thinking someone should talk to her, find out her reasons
Hater: Definitely not me. She's still a little iffy abt me
Wander: ...I'll talk with her, then.
Wildflower: (nod) That's good
Hater: U sure she'll open up to u?
Wander: We've been friends for a long time, I'm sure she'll let me talk with her about it.
Hater: Good luck then. I'll go bk to Peepers, so tht he won't be suspicious [made his way to the nursery room]
Wander: (nod)
Hater: [enters the nursery] Hey, sorry abt tht. How's the litter?
Peepers: (signs) Doing good. :)
Hater: Cool :) [chatted with him to keep him distracted frm wat just happened]
