Aug 08 20:27:27 [Otto wants to know if you can help with Sascha's hips] Aug 08 20:27:27 That was her intention... Aug 08 20:27:27 [I can, but I am not sure how to do it subtly] Aug 08 20:27:27 Its going to be difficult to do without her noticing... Aug 08 20:27:29 [I suppose I could make a show of examining her and measuring her bump] Aug 08 20:27:31 [That might work... ask about the pain, apply pressure to the back of her hips and... oh, thats worked nicely...] Aug 08 20:27:33 [yes, alright] Aug 08 20:27:35 *Molly sets Emil down and he toddles to Morgan* Aug 08 20:27:37 * Otto smiles “It seems like only a few days ago that Dietlinde crossed this floor in such a way” Aug 08 20:27:39 * Morgan crouches down to pick up Emil Aug 08 20:27:41 It'll not be over-long before your twins are doing it Aug 08 20:27:45 * Otto nods, watching Molly help Sascha stand again Aug 08 20:27:47 We’ll both be glad when the delivery is over Aug 08 20:27:49 * Morgan nods, handing Emil to him Aug 08 20:27:51 She'll help, if Sascha lets her Aug 08 20:28:14 * Molly is now known as Otto Aug 08 20:28:54 She will, but she still doesn’t-know- Aug 08 20:29:14 * Morgan nods Aug 08 20:29:16 Figured that much Aug 08 20:31:05 * Otto nods, watching as Molly gets Sascha to support with the chair so she can check her hips Aug 08 20:32:33 *Morgans neck prickles* Aug 08 20:32:52 * Morgan tickles Emils chin Aug 08 20:33:08 *Emil laughs * Aug 08 20:35:38 * Morgan looks to Otto, speaking quietly Aug 08 20:35:47 My father knows... Aug 08 20:36:28 * Otto nods Aug 08 20:36:44 She is safe from them though? Aug 08 20:37:06 * Morgan nods Aug 08 20:37:23 Its taken some adjusting for him... but he accepts it Aug 08 20:39:36 * Otto nods, watching Sascha smile Aug 08 20:39:48 it is a blessing Aug 08 20:40:29 * Morgan nods Aug 08 20:40:32 I believe so Aug 08 20:41:46 *Molly puts her arms around Sascha, lifting her massive belly. Sascha sighs with relief, and Morgan’s neck prickles again* Aug 08 20:42:18 * Morgan runs his fingers across Emil's scalp, through his hair Aug 08 20:43:10 E: Bah! Aug 08 20:44:02 *Sascha looks very relaxed* Aug 08 20:44:29 [this is so heavy! I hope you’ll lift my belly like this when I get bigger] Aug 08 20:44:51 [I reckon so] Aug 08 20:46:40 * Morgan finishes making the tea Aug 08 20:46:40 I hadn’t thought of doing that Aug 08 20:47:03 No... Aug 08 20:48:30 * Otto smiles Aug 08 20:48:46 Anything that makes it easier for her I will do Aug 08 20:49:08 * Morgan nods Aug 08 20:49:20 I cant imagine the twins will be willing to stay put much longer Aug 08 20:49:51 * Otto nods Aug 08 20:49:56 Any day now Aug 08 20:52:00 * Morgan nods Aug 08 20:52:09 Send for us immediately, won't you? Aug 08 20:52:41 * Otto nods Aug 08 20:53:05 I’ll send Lucas from next door Aug 08 20:53:25 * Morgan nods Aug 08 20:53:26 Good Aug 08 20:54:27 Martha comes every morning too, and she’ll know the signs better than I will Aug 08 20:55:41 * Morgan nods Aug 08 20:55:43 Should imagine so Aug 08 20:57:39 I don’t remember much of it when Dietlinde came along, Sascha’s mother and sister came, thats Hildegarde’s Mother, and her Father took me to the tavern Aug 08 20:58:19 * Morgan nods, smiling a little Aug 08 20:58:23 I sat outside the cottage Aug 08 20:58:55 * Otto nods, smiling Aug 08 20:59:27 I recall. I should have taken you to the tavern, but Dietlinde said you wouldn’t want to Aug 08 21:00:05 * Morgan nods Aug 08 21:00:07 She was correct Aug 08 21:00:44 * Otto nods Aug 08 21:01:21 It’s women’s work, we’d only be in the way and make it take longer Aug 08 21:02:12 Thats what Marta said when Molly was suffering with the cast... it was hell Aug 08 21:03:40 I do not know what that is. When she was poorly in Fischler? Aug 08 21:04:06 * Morgan nods Aug 08 21:04:11 It nearly killed her Aug 08 21:05:30 Lucky that she can do what she can do then Aug 08 21:06:06 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 08 21:06:15 Couldn't do anything about it... Aug 08 21:07:21 * Otto nods Aug 08 21:08:18 She seems well again Aug 08 21:08:48 * Morgan nods Aug 08 21:08:58 Aye, she is... she just about got through it Aug 08 21:09:59 *Molly is busy talking Sascha through some exercises for her hips* Aug 08 21:10:20 where will your child be born? Aug 08 21:10:30 Here... Aug 08 21:11:35 * Otto nods Aug 08 21:11:49 I will take you to the tavern this time Aug 08 21:12:54 * Morgan smiles a little Aug 08 21:12:57 Molly wants me with her Aug 08 21:13:43 Not in the birthing room?! Aug 08 21:14:10 * Morgan nods Aug 08 21:14:28 When we thought she was going to die, Marta let me in... my being there helped her Aug 08 21:15:50 It’s not for me, my Lord. Aug 08 21:16:09 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 08 21:16:21 Idon't think it'd be a choice I made, but... I won't let her down Aug 08 21:17:37 * Otto nods Aug 08 21:18:58 *Molly smiles as she’s talking to Sascha* Aug 08 21:23:05 They seem to be getting along okay... Aug 08 21:23:14 * Otto nods Aug 08 21:23:25 Sascha wants no trouble Aug 08 21:24:06 * Morgan nods Aug 08 21:24:12 They just needed a new place to start Aug 08 21:24:28 * Otto nods Aug 08 21:24:47 No amount of animosity will bring our girls back Aug 08 21:25:14 No... Aug 08 21:27:16 Even if it could, she wouldn’t approve. Aug 08 21:27:25 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 08 21:27:37 No, she wouldn't. Aug 08 21:29:49 * Otto nods “She would ask us to live well whilst we can, and be kind and forgiving to everyone, just as she always was” Aug 08 21:30:21 * Morgan nods Aug 08 21:30:26 I think you're right Aug 08 21:34:49 *Molly comes to them, Emil immediately trying to get to her* Everything looks well. The pain should reduce with exercises and if you lift her belly in the morning, at lunch time, late afternoon, and bed time. I think it’s possibly due to the weight pushing her hips apart Aug 08 21:35:50 * Morgan nods Aug 08 21:35:56 Its a little better for now? Aug 08 21:38:34 *Sascha nods, moving around as Molly takes Emil* S: It already feels so much better Aug 08 21:39:06 * Morgan nods, smiling Aug 08 21:42:23 M: If you both commit to it, it should hopefully remain at bay for the remainder of the pregnancy Aug 08 21:43:57 *They both nod* Aug 08 21:44:08 Is there a specific way to do it? Aug 08 21:45:34 *Molly shakes her head* Just stand behind her and lift so you are holding the weight of them Aug 08 21:46:12 Does he have to use the age old chant of "h'upsy daisy"? Aug 08 21:47:40 *Molly giggles* That is optional Aug 08 21:48:19 * Morgan nods Aug 08 21:49:47 * Otto smiles, coming behind Sascha and lifting her bump. He looks so much younger than a year ago when Morgan came to tell them about Molly Aug 08 21:50:32 * Morgan watches them for a moment before handing Molly a cup of tea Aug 08 21:51:45 *the couple look very happy. Molly moves Emil to her hip before sipping it* Aug 08 21:53:39 * Morgan holds out a cup for Sascha Aug 08 21:54:39 *She takes it* Perhaps you’d cut us all some pie, Morgan Aug 08 21:55:49 * Morgan nods, moving to find a knife Aug 08 21:57:28 *They’re just where they always were, where Dietlinde had first pointed them out when they’d come here a few weeks after their wedding. The knives are just the same* Aug 08 21:57:57 * Morgan takes a deep breath before moving to cut the pie Aug 08 21:58:58 *Emil is watching him and the pie* E: Vati! Aug 08 21:59:51 * Morgan blinks, looking surprised Aug 08 22:00:00 Say that again... Aug 08 22:00:32 E: Vati! *he opens his mouth for the food* Aug 08 22:01:09 *Molly smiles warmly, kissing Emil’s head* Clever boy! Aug 08 22:01:22 * Morgan looks to Sascha Aug 08 22:01:30 He's never managed to say it like that before now Aug 08 22:03:33 *Sascha smiles* congratulations Aug 08 22:04:16 * Morgan smiles, dishing out pie for the two older boys before cutting some for Emil, holding out a little Aug 08 22:05:58 *Emil takes it, sticking it in his mouth* Aug 08 22:06:45 * Morgan dishes some up for Molly and Sascha Aug 08 22:06:49 That was... unexpected Aug 08 22:07:42 M: He’s been getting close for a while Aug 08 22:08:02 Yes... but he's not managed that T sound... Aug 08 22:09:01 *Molly nods* he’s getting big Aug 08 22:09:31 * Morgan nods Aug 08 22:09:32 He is Aug 08 22:12:30 *Varick and Jacques eat quietly. Molly manages to eat some despite Emil trying to take her fork* Aug 08 22:13:16 * Morgan feeds Emil some more Aug 08 22:14:15 M: Oh, this is delicious! try some, my love Aug 08 22:14:31 * Morgan eats a little Aug 08 22:15:11 *It tastes almost bitter* Aug 08 22:15:38 [ummm... do you recall... meddling with my sense of taste?] Aug 08 22:19:38 [oh!] Aug 08 22:19:48 *she blushes, his neck prickling* Aug 08 22:19:57 * Morgan smiles, eating a little more Aug 08 22:21:25 *it’s excellent* Aug 08 22:21:36 Oh that is marvellous Aug 08 22:22:59 *Sascha smiles* Thank you Aug 08 22:25:36 She’s always been a good cook Aug 08 22:26:26 * Morgan nods Aug 08 22:26:43 Dietlinde taught me to bake... I make a half decent sponge cake Aug 08 22:27:32 *Sascha smiles* She was good at them Aug 08 22:28:28 * Morgan nods, picking up his tea and sipping it Aug 08 22:31:02 *Varick looks at Jacques* Maybe Theresa can make you some cake now that she’s your second mother? Aug 08 22:32:12 J: I can make cakes myself Aug 08 22:33:40 V: oh, okay Aug 08 22:35:06 I suspect she'd happily make some cake for you anyway Aug 08 22:35:14 *the others eat* Aug 08 22:35:32 J: She’s kind and she makes my father really happy Aug 08 22:36:22 * Morgan nods Aug 08 22:37:18 V: Mama makes Vati happy, he was really sad before Aug 08 22:38:05 * Morgan nods, sipping his tea Aug 08 23:01:38 * Otto has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Aug 08 23:42:40 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
