As My Heart Dies-Chp97

[meanwhile, at one of the buffet restaurants, Peepers was already on his 5th round]

Peepers: [was eating happily] Nom nom nom...

Brad: (with only one dish, watching Peepers eat) o_o;;

Peepers: [realized he was being stared at n stopped eating, looking dwn awkwardly] S-Sorry...

Brad: No, don't mind me. ^^;; You have to feed yourself and the baby and such, that's all.

Peepers: Yeah, I know, bt... [gestured at other ppl who were also staring] :(

Brad: (also noticed them staring) Look, don't worry about them. But anyone interfers, I'll deal with it, okay? :)

Peepers: (nod) [continued eating] Bt maybe after this round, we go some place else. I don't wanna eat them out of business ^^;;

Brad: (giggle) Sure.

Peepers: Wat do u think our baby might be? Would u prefer a boy or girl?

Brad: Either way is fine with me...but honestly, I'd like a little girl. ^^

Peepers: ...why a girl? :|

Brad: You could say my own little princess to spoil and be a good father to. ^^;; Yes I still have 'princess' stuff on the mind but not so much as before.

Peepers: [rolled his eyes humorously] Nxt thing ur gonna say is that u already hv a name for her, don't u?

Brad: Well... Yes, but you probably have an idea too, don't you?

Peepers: Ummm... (think) Well, maybe for a boy tho

Brad: Like what?

Peepers: Duke. Duke Starlight. Nice ring to it, doesn't it? I mean... I wanted it to sound royal, since ur all abt prince n princess n all tht, so yeah, tht was the first thing that popped in my head :$

Brad: (think) ... Yeah I like Duke. :)

Peepers: :) [nuzzled him]

Brad: :$ Hehe... (kiss)

Peepers: (kiss) [kissed him bk] So u were saying? Wat name u hv for ur little future princess?

Brad: Oh, right... I've liked either Maria or Zoe. They're both cute names. :)

Peepers: Hmmm... I'm more partial to Zoe, bt we'll see

Brad: (nod)

Peepers: [finished his food] OK, I'm done, let's go some place else to eat. I think the waiters r giving me the stink eye -_-;;

Brad: ^^;; yeah, let's amscray.

[the duo left the restaurant, much to the relief of the staff]

Peepers: [sighed in Brad's arms] :(

Brad: Peeps?

Peepers: Maybe we better go bk to our room. I'm scared of getting stared at again by the staff n the customers...

Brad: You wanna just order room service and watch a movie or something? :$

Peepers: I guess so... Bt wat if they don't wanna give us room service? Wat if they deny us coz they spread the word abt my scary appetite? Maybe I can hold out, not eat anything until... [his stomach growled again, still hungry, bt not as loud as before] (doh)

Brad: Hey, it's okay. (hugged him) Really.

Peepers: [sighed again, seeing a dessert restaurant up ahead, looking like he reli wanted to eat there, bt afraid to ask]

Brad: (noticed) ...Want me to pick you up something from there?

Peepers: More like I wanna eat there actually, bt... :(

Brad: Look, let's see if I can get you a little something from there and if not I'm sure we can find something else in room service. :)

Peepers: (think) ..... (nod)

Brad: (nod) (enters the dessert restaurant)

Waiter: Welcome, sir. Wat would u like? [sees Peepers with Brad n looked a little hesitant; it seems like word has spread ard]

Brad: Hey, is it possible to do take out? We'll save you all the trouble and such else.

Peepers: [was feeling uncomfortable being stared at by the other staff]

Waiter: I'm sorry bt I'm afraid we can only give u the same portion as everyone else. We don't think we can give u the...uhh...portion ur friend might want

Brad: Look, I know how he's been with the services but he's only feeding not just himself but our child as well.

Waiter: Well, I suppose... [his face felt a little bad wen Brad mentioned Peepers being with child, n all the other staff looked uncomfortable for being judgmental]

Peepers: [looked like he wanted to cry from embarrassment as he hid his face on Brad's shoulder]

Brad: (held him close) It's alright, Princess. It's alright...

Waiter: [exchanged looks with the staff, then turns to Brad n Peepers] Forget wat I just said. Order anything u want :)

Brad: Really? No trouble?

Waiter: Nope. No trouble :)

Peepers: [finally lifted his head] Can I sit here n eat?

Waiter: Of course, anything :) Go right ahead n hv a seat

Brad: :) Thanks. (carried Peepers inside)

Peepers: Well, tht was...nice of him. Funny how ppl change all of a sudden wen they hear a different side of the story n wen children r involved

Brad: Yeah, it's kinda funny. (helps Peepers into his seat before taking his own)

Peepers: [looks thru the menu again n made his order, asking for double portion of the things he ordered]

Brad: (also took a look, ordering only one dish for himself)

[a few moments later, the waiter came with their order]

Peepers: Mmm~~ Looks yummy :p

Brad: :) Sure does.

Peepers: [munched his food happily]

Brad: (took bites of his own food)

Peepers: [reaches his hand to squeeze Brad's, smiling at him] :) ... thanks, hotshot

Brad: :$ Anytime, princess...
