Zach arrived at Mina's apartment, on the front step, per her request. Personally, he thought she was a bit uptight about whether or not he could just teleport right inside. It certainly saved time.

He hit the buzzer and spoke into the intercom. "It's me. What's going on? You sounded stressed on the phone."

	"Just come on up. I'll explain." She had eventually had to move. Three days without heat in the winter had forced her to admit her place was pretty bad. And she was pretty much going out of her mind with this news. It was crazy. They hadn't even really done a whole lot! It had been a magical ritual to take care of a thing. This made no sense at all.

	After she buzzes him in, Zach heads to her apartment, letting himself in and smiling at her. "What's up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She just shoots him a tired glance. "Remember how I kept feeling ill at that last place we had to go do a show?" It hadn't been fun. She had to suck down lots of ginger ale to keep her stomach calm. The smell of sweaty people back stag had really bothered her. The squid nearly did her in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah.. you doing any better?" He looks at her sympathetically. "Can't have one of my best stagehands out of commission." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not likely to get better.... for a few weeks." She folds her arms looking unhappy. "I don't know how this happened because I don't sleep around at all but.... I'm uh.... Bun. In oven." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zach goes white. "You're... you're joking..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-22 06:33 pm UTC (link)
	"No! Are you insane? Why would I joke," she squawks. It bothers her a little that he thinks she is joking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I... I'm sorry. That was terrible of me to say. But... I mean..." He flushes slightly. "We use protection, and... it hasn't been all that much that we've done." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-22 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	"I know," she agrees. "We were careful to. Even with that.... thing." She looks really glum. "I can't do my labs easily like this. It's dangerous even if I'm careful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2012-01-22 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	"So..." He treads carefully. "What do you want to do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-22 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't know," she groans face planting slightly at her table. "This isn't something I've ever had to think about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well... you have time. We're in a state that still respects a woman's control over her own body.. I'll support whatever decision you make." He puts a hand on her shoulder cautiously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah well that doesn't make this any easier. Babies are weird anyways... and Ms Craft may flay you alive," she points out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Let me worry about Vicky. You just focus on yourself." He goes quiet for a minute. "If you want to keep it... I promise not to be a deadbeat. But I don't want you to think I'm pressuring you one way or the other. Keep it, adopt it, get rid of it, whatever you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-22 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm not even sure what the right option is. I don't want to make a choice that's selfish because I'm young.... I also know that adoption might be a bad idea given we both come from magical backgrounds more or less." She sighs again not knowing what to do. "And now of all times I want pizza." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2012-01-22 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	He smiles and kisses her forehead. "Pizza is easy. Pizza we can do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good. I'm going to put tea on while we wait. I like tea. You can trust it to not horribly betray you," she points out as she gets up to go put her kettle on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2012-01-23 04:23 am UTC (link)
	He smiles and gets out his phone, calling up their local place of choice and ordering Mina's usual. He sits down on the couch while she fixes the tea. "So.. Do you know if this changes anything with... y'know, us? Is there an 'us'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-23 04:29 am UTC (link)
	Way to startle a girl, Zachery. She had to catch the tin she had pulled out since she knocked it off the counter then put it back up as she waited for the kettle. "I... don't know." Because it had been well, fun. She bites her lower lip. "I think there could be. It's just our thing is um.... Not exactly what most people would call normal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2012-01-23 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	"No... it's not." He clears his throat. "Even putting aside the fact that I'm your boss." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-23 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	And her teacher when it comes to magic. Right. This is complicated. "Also this is what people would call complicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is what is also called career suicide..." He mutters under his breath. "Do you think you need to see a doctor?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-23 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	"I've already seen one," she says with a slight sigh. "I thought it was a flu bug. A really bad flu bug." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-23 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes. Mostly. There were concerns about the kind of food I like eating.... apparently a ramen diet because I get lazy is bad," she half way bemoans. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2012-01-23 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, too much sodium... they'd probably want you to drop sushi as well." He grimaces. And I'm sorry if that was a bad thing to say. You probably could use someone sensitive right now..." He pauses. "Maybe we should call Victoria..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-23 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Actually I haven't been eating it anyways. There was an incident with eel about a month ago I will not speak of." She just gives him a look. "You're trying to get out of this by having her kill you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2012-01-23 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	"That's not it..." He rolls his eyes. "Just... I'm a celebrity. She's a grown-up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-23 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	"You're both adult," she deadpans. "You're just... just..." Arg, she is frustrated right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2012-01-23 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Exactly. I'm like that." He nods, totally getting the grasping for words. He pats the spot on the couch next to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-23 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	She gives up on hovering near the kettle and goes to join him on the couch. She turned slightly so she could watch him leaning against the back of the couch with her head just barely propped up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zach, carefully, puts a hand on her shoulder. "You'll figure this out. I'm here for anything you need." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkofmagic 2012-01-24 12:20 am UTC (link)
	She doesn't think he's very good at being here for her. He's freaking out more than she is. "This is going to be hard. I might need to move again." She has no room for a kid here. And shoes! She thinks she has too many. For once. (Reply to this)(Parent)
