What If? All in the Family.
It had been a freak accident. Some kind of short-circuit of energy signatures, Dr. Vernard had said when he examined them. The point was that Jon had been dragged here with them from his own facet of reality, and his energy signature was so disrupted that even that dimensional teleporter Mrs. Stark had called in couldn't send him back there. They'd really tried everything, but had finally given up.

And then, there was the other thing.

"So... do you want to tell him?" Vernique asked Svalin as she sat holding her hand on the bed. In Svalin's other hand was the test, clearly positive.

	"I wilt always worry about thee," she smiled. "I wilt talk to Lady Sydney. Mayhap thou, Vernique and I canst share one of the bungalows. I hadst been staying in one with Marlow." "The Defenders wouldst be lucky to have thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Probably a good idea, as long as Vernique is comfortable with that. That... is going to take the most adjusting to, I think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There art two bedrooms in each bungalow," Svalin said. "Either Vernique and I canst share a room or thou and I canst share a room. We wilt all talk at some point about the arrangements. Mayhap a set for Asgard and a set for Migard. Vernique ist too much a free spirit to be tied down so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I get that feeling - which is going to take even more getting used to. Like I said, very... uhm, midwest. Tricky enough getting used to marrying two girls. Once I get past that, tricky getting used to the idea of being married... but without a lot of the things that I woul typically associate with marriage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I art not sure what being midwest ist, but this ist not much different than a marriage with two people," Svalin said. "Thou wilt not go without /all/ the things associated with marriage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I come from... a very mortal.. sort of conservative background. Not necessarily everything that entails in political circles, but the idea of the nuclear, two parent family, fidelity in marriage, at least attempting to make a commitment to life-long marriage... so this is a big jump for me with all this... but you're worth it."

	"That ist not unlike most Asgardian marriages, though some circumstances call for something outside the norm. I couldst give up the sword and we couldst have a marriage in the more traditional sense if thou wants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd rather you didn't. I would sooner deal with getting used to some less conventional ideas than ask you to stop being who you are at the core of your being. You're a warrior princess, and I'd never ask you to give that up - that's the girl I fell in love with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled and kissed him. "Aye, we wilt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-05-02 02:04 am UTC (link)
	Once they've had enough time to kiss, Vernique returns. "Okay. Told Daddy there was no point bringing the gun for Paternal Intimidation purposes..." She grins and winks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon returns the kiss, then looks Vernique's way. "Yeah, that could have been... awkward." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's our moms who are really going to get excitable," Vernique says happily.

"Okay, we're going to have to start sorting out baby stuff soon. Doctor's appointments, watching what you eat, the whole thing. To be on the safe side, no more mead, not that you were drinking like Hal anyway. And no caffeine except for chocolate, because you have to be moderate about caffeine." Yes, she's lecturing you within an hour or so of the pregnancy's being confirmed, Svalin. Wife-mode comes early.

	"Aye," Svalin said. "They wilt be excited. Both of mine mothers wilt be happy about a grandchild." For different reasons, but still excited. "I wilt be fine as long as I canst have chocolate. I doth not drink coffee and Lady Sydney doth have herbal teas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It sounds like Vernique knows what she's doing with all this... which, I'll admit, is good. I helped babysit Jo a lot, but that's about the extent of my childcare knowledge." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique knew a lot of parents, though she'd never admitted to any plans to be one. "Well --oh." Vernique looked at him. "When did you manifest?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm half alien. I've had my powers all my life, though they've matured as I did. As far as the scientists could tell, Kryptonian genes are almost always dominant... I'm as strong, fast.. and so on, as my father was at my age. My sister shows her human side a little more though, so its not totally certain... but likely." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hath helped raise three younger siblings," Svalin said. "I doth know about children." Svalin's brow furled. "I art full Asgardian. This child mayhap be something the likes ne'er seen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can give you some of the tips my mother used for Jo, anyway. I also don't know if the third generation, or Asgardian side may change anything, but according to what my dad knew, and our upbringing, Kryptonians tend to develop mentally fairly quickly in comparison."

	"I wilt talk to mine two mothers. Mine siblings and I, mostly Halbjorn, wert quite destructive on things in the house." The thought of Hal brought something else to mind, but Svalin did not want to think about that. Her son as a bear sark was not the kind of thoughts she should be having. It was probably best to wait and see. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Unfortunately, the thought didn't escape Vernique. Her hand tightened on Svalin's arm a little. "Yeah. All the babyproofing advice we can get is good," she says quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
