*is starting to feel a bit claustrophobic in the hotel room*

*decides to go for a walk*

*makes it about fifty yards before feeling completely and utterly exhausted and irritated*

*sits down heavily on a bench and scowls at passers-by who are totally staring at her because she's so fat and red and out of breath*

*walks by on his way to a bar*

*yes, a BAR. okay??*

*almost doesn't recognize you because you're sort of enormous*

*fixes his gaze straight ahead and picks up his step a little in the hope that you won't look up in time to notice him*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 15:13:42  

*looks up and notices you*

*totally sees the way you just stared at her*

*reinforces her scowl* What's wrong with you? Never seen a pregnant woman before?
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 15:20:26  

*totally wasn't staring for more than a split second*

Hello to you, too. *coolly* I assure you I have seen a fair number of pregnant women. 'Women' being a relative term.

*keeps walking*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 15:21:47  

Ah, of course. Lots of pregnant charity cases just fling themselves your way, do they?

*frowns and folds her arms with difficulty*
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 15:23:54  

*turns on his heel very slowly*

Just out of curiosity, do you live to goad me, Eärwen? It won't work. Probably.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 15:26:10  

Oh, how did you guess? Getting a rise out of you is my fucking reason to live. You're really fucking perceptive, aren' you? Just like Nolo, right?
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 15:30:51  

*places his hands on his hips*

*snarkily, omfe* I'm glad you're not the type of person who'd stoop to, say, insulting my family because you have nothing better to do. That would be awfully cheap.

*only just manages to stop himself from elaborating on 'cheap'*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 15:37:50  

*struggles to her feet* Wait, is this the family who murdered my family? And you're worried about them being insulted?
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 15:43:30  

I simply fail to see any relevance to my own character. My brothers made their share of mistakes, to be sure and the bigger screw-up's only a half-brother so...I'm thinking that explains it.

*strides back over to you* You know a thing or two about mistakes, don't you, Eärwen?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 15:54:24  

*attempts to square up to you but fails miserably* Yeah, I know a thing or two about mistakes, Mr Holier-Than-Thou. Do you know the first fucking thing about cutting anyone a little slack?
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 16:47:57  

*actually laughs* Oh, that's rich coming from a woman who's willing to condemn an entire family for crimes some of us took no part in!
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 16:55:36  

Oh, for fuck's -- *suddenly gasps*

I--

--

Ow.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 17:00:17  

*scornfully* Oh, I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings? Did something actually get through the layers of spoiled stubbornness and reckless anger and bile and vitriol you've built up as some sort of defense mechanism??
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 17:09:09  

*wraps her arms around her midriff and looks faintly confused*

Ow.

*looks down and pretty much disregards your presence* Oh, f-fuck.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 17:11:34  

*immediately regretting his words* I'm sorry. I didn't mean--

*looks at you with slowly-dawning comprehension* Oh, fudge.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 17:16:29  

*backs towards the bench and sits down heavily*

*looks up at you fearfully*
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 17:23:41  

*breathes*

*stares heavenward*

*comfortingly (he hopes)* Okay. Stay calm. Let's just think this through. Hospital? Hospital. I can call you a cab?

*looks around for one*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 17:26:18  

*takes a few gasping breaths* Hospital--y--yeah. Where's my Daddy?

Where's Findaráto?

*lets out a shaky sob* It -- it -- aaaAAAAaa!! -- hurts.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 17:30:43  

*helps you stand* I'll get them okay but first we just need to...here, lean on me like this. We can carjack somebody I guess?

*is getting slightly panicky* *squeezes his eyes shut* Hail Varda full of grace the One is with thee blessed art thou among Valier and blessed are the fruits of thy labors the stars holy Varda beloved of elves pray for us sinners now and through the hours of our fading.

*lets out a deep breath when he sees a cab approaching* Oh thank You.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 17:34:26  

*clutches your arm tightly* *squeezes her eyes shut too, out of pain, not piety*

*mumbles* I'm so sorry, Arafinwë. It wasn't-- *sobs again with the pain*

I'm scared, I'm fuckin-- AH!--
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 17:39:00  

*more or less manhandles you into the cab and gets them off to the hospital on the double*

Shhh, don't worry, just try to...um, breathe through it or...

*reaches over to tuck your hair behind your ears*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 17:40:58  

*pretty much cuts off the circulation to your hand by gripping your arm tightly*

*tries to breath a bit more slowly but doesn't really succeed* Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 17:44:37  

*probably could have walked if it had seemed at all likely he wouldn't have to carry you*

Almost there...almost there...see? We're there. Everything's going to be just fine now, okay?

*helps you out of the car and prepares to turn you over to the hospital personnel*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 17:47:09  

Th-thank you. *turns her tearstained face towards yours*

*has not actually relinquished her vice-like grip on your arm yet*
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 17:52:46  

*bites his lip* So I'm going to call Findaráto and not your father now, okay? *...* Okay?

*tries to gently pull his arm away* Okay?

*thinks*

*leans down and kisses your lips so briefly you may have missed it if you blinked*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 17:56:54  

*is still a little fraught* Don't go far, please for the love of ERU, don't go far?

*lets out another low moan*
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 18:03:24  

*is pretty thoroughly confused by now*

I won't? *walks beside you to your room* I can, um, stand over there away from the carn--out of everybody's way. You're doing just great, all right?
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 18:06:59  

*is shown to a delivery room*

*looks pretty much like a scared little girl*
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 18:11:33  

*tries to recall every nice thing he ever said to any anxiously expectant crack whore mommy*

*comes up pretty empty*

*gently* Just think. It'll be over before you know it and then your beautiful son or daughter will be here.

*tries to look inconspicous when a doctor comes to examine you*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 18:13:50  

*vaguely* She will be beaut-- *moans again and only hears one word the doctor addresses to her*

*that would be 'epidural'* *did not hear the words "your husband can of course stay"*
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 18:20:02  

*gets a much different sort of look on his face at the sight of that needle*

*bravely manages not to flee the room even once during the whole ordeal, which seems to go on for hours? days?*

*then finds himself wondering how things progressed so quickly when he sees that you're somehow already to the pushing stage*

*...*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 18:23:39  

*thought that it lasted forever thank you very much*

*then looks down at the baby in her arms with vague surprise that it's over already*

*--*
From: [info]nerwende Date: 03/21/2007 18:26:57  

*settles comfortably in your arms and curls against your warmth*

*gurgles maybe even*

*is fucking adorable and not red and squishy and slimy at all thanks, okay?*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 18:28:25  

*finds that she can't tear her eyes away from you*

*without looking up* Arafinwë?
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 18:31:09  

*his voice sounding very distant in his ears*

Congratulations. She's beautiful.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 18:34:06  

She is.

*looks up at you for the first time* *looks tired and pale but actually happy* Thank you.
From: [info]ingoldo Date: 03/21/2007 18:36:23  

I'll just pass on the good news to your father and our--and Findaráto, shall I? *pained smile*

*leaves the room quickly to find a pay phone before you can give either assent or protest*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 18:39:54  

*vaguely* Sure -- sure.

*turns her gaze back to her baby girl!*
From: [info]telerinking Date: 03/21/2007 18:41:04  

*could really care less about the news* *was hoping for a boy so he could slit Fingon and Gil-galad's throats and take over Hithlum as regent*

*mumbles something about how he'll be over later*

*or tomorrow*

*or he'll see them at home*
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/21/2007 18:41:41  

...

*is through the roof at the news*

*shows up at the hospital promptly*

*baby sister ome!*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 18:44:08  

*smiles when she sees you*

Hi.
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/21/2007 18:45:51  

*stands in the doorway for a moment in awe*

Hi.

*comes a little closer and looks at the baby*

She's beautiful. *smiles* Does she have a name.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 18:49:51  

*hesitantly* I had a name picked out -- I think it suits her -- it's just because of who her father is -- I was thinking -- Galadriel?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/21/2007 18:53:10  

*chokes a little* Oh, really?

*freezes her smile in place*

*stares down at the baby*
From: [info]nerwende Date: 03/21/2007 18:53:47  

*sleeps*

*had a rough day* *you try being pushed through a birth canal*

...*yawns for added adorableness*
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 18:54:54  

*smiles down at you*

Galadriel. Do you like that?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/21/2007 18:57:02  

*continues looking at the baby*

Nah. Just a coincidence. Right?

*smiles at you* It's a lovely name. I'm sure Artanis won't mind at all.
From: [info]telerinprincess Date: 03/21/2007 18:58:58  

*smiles up at you*

*very,very tentatively* Would you like to hold her?
From: [info]artafinde Date: 03/21/2007 19:01:40  

*smiles widely* I really, really would.

*takes her from you gently*

*holds her close* Hello there, baby sister. *isn't quite ready to call her Galadriel yet* I hear you had a busy day.

*coos gently at her*

*smiles down at you* She's absolutely perfect. *really wants to ask why her father was here and where he went but isn't about to*
