**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jan 23 17:18:15 2025 Jan 23 17:18:15 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jan 23 19:12:20 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jan 23 19:12:52 uhhh... yeah... *he clears his throat* yes, its quite tense, waiting... Jan 23 19:12:52 * Alice smiles “I hope it’ll be over soon” Jan 23 19:12:52 * Morgan nods Jan 23 19:12:52 As long as they're safe. She's enormous. Jan 23 19:12:52 * Alice nods Jan 23 19:12:54 I dreaded the possibility of being pregnant with twins. I imagined barely being able to move, like a beached whale Jan 23 19:12:58 That fairly accurate... Jan 23 19:13:00 I’d have had to ask the men to come and sort everything out for me Jan 23 19:13:02 Not a great look for a captain Jan 23 19:13:04 * Alice shakes her head Jan 23 19:13:06 You must want twins at some point? Jan 23 19:13:08 Why's that? Jan 23 19:13:10 * Alice smiles, leaning forward to quietly say “She’d be huge...” Jan 23 19:13:14 * Morgan blushes Jan 23 19:13:16 You're a bloody terror, do you know that? Jan 23 19:13:58 * Molly nods Jan 23 19:14:04 * Molly is now known as Alice Jan 23 19:14:06 I do Jan 23 19:14:25 * Morgan nods Jan 23 19:14:27 Quite uncalled for Jan 23 19:14:34 * Alice laughs Jan 23 19:15:01 You could always split someone’s lip for me, if it’d make you feel better Jan 23 19:15:17 * Morgan laughs Jan 23 19:15:54 I'll keep that in mind Jan 23 19:18:06 * Alice nods, starting to tidy up the nursery “Are you finding it hard work?” Jan 23 19:21:52 What part? Jan 23 19:22:16 Molly being pregnant Jan 23 19:22:47 Its occasionally difficult to concetrate Jan 23 19:24:38 you knew it would be though? Jan 23 19:26:06 Had a fair idea, aye Jan 23 19:27:31 I guess we must all cramp your style too Jan 23 19:29:13 * Morgan shrugs Jan 23 19:29:19 Church cramped my style... Jan 23 19:31:01 * Alice smiles Jan 23 19:31:08 That was hours ago Jan 23 19:31:32 I am aware Jan 23 19:32:37 Am I holding you up? Jan 23 19:33:44 I'm managing Jan 23 19:35:53 * Alice nods Jan 23 19:36:24 Florrie is going to miss Edward Jan 23 19:36:50 * Morgan nods Jan 23 19:37:01 I agree. He's going to miss her terribly Jan 23 19:38:55 * Alice nods Jan 23 19:39:16 it’ll get easier when he has more children Jan 23 19:39:37 I'm not sure I agree Jan 23 19:41:51 why? Jan 23 19:42:15 I don't miss Jana less because I have Varick and Emil... Jan 23 19:44:29 Sorry, I didn’t think of it like that Jan 23 19:45:48 * Morgan nods Jan 23 19:46:00 I'm glad of that Jan 23 19:46:23 * Morgan smiles a little, tilting his head back Jan 23 19:46:27 Jana has her own cake Jan 23 19:46:48 * Alice looks confused Jan 23 19:46:54 her own cake? Jan 23 19:48:11 A long while back I had to help Varick understand that his loving me doesn't mean he loves his birth father less... his love isn't a cake we share... we each have our own cakes... Jan 23 19:48:55 * Alice smiles Jan 23 19:48:59 That’s sweet Jan 23 19:49:35 I figured it was an analogy he could get behind... when we left you on Lundy, he asked me if Florrie has her own cake now Jan 23 19:53:36 * Alice smiles Jan 23 19:53:39 does she? Jan 23 19:53:50 * Morgan frowns Jan 23 19:53:53 Of course she does Jan 23 19:54:35 * Alice nods “You can like and care for someone without loving them” Jan 23 19:55:22 I don't say it to her to make her feel better or accepted. I say it because its true Jan 23 19:56:41 * Alice nods Jan 23 19:56:48 I’m glad Jan 23 19:58:38 We all love her... you do know that, right? Jan 23 20:01:23 * Alice nods Jan 23 20:01:31 I know it’s difficult for you though Jan 23 20:02:39 * Morgan nods Jan 23 20:02:44 It is. But so very worth it Jan 23 20:03:48 * Alice nods, smiling Jan 23 20:04:00 She’s amazing Jan 23 20:06:15 You both are Jan 23 20:08:28 * Alice smiles Jan 23 20:08:37 Thanks Jan 23 20:10:38 * Morgan smiles, finishing his coffee Jan 23 20:11:03 Best go find Molly before I go wind my father up Jan 23 20:11:15 * Alice nods Jan 23 20:11:31 See you at dinner Jan 23 20:11:49 * Morgan nods, heading off to find Molly Jan 23 20:14:11 * Alice is now known as Molly Jan 23 20:14:44 * Molly is in their room, looking out at the Sudlache as she rubs her belly Jan 23 20:16:41 You alright love? Jan 23 20:17:29 * Molly smiles Jan 23 20:17:31 mmhmm Jan 23 20:20:29 Good Jan 23 20:21:32 I was thinking about our son Jan 23 20:22:47 Oh? Jan 23 20:23:19 * Molly smiles Jan 23 20:23:56 This is his legacy. His homeland. The place of his father, and his forefathers, for hundreds of years Jan 23 20:24:08 * Morgan nods Jan 23 20:24:10 Yes it is Jan 23 20:24:38 That’s lovely, I think Jan 23 20:24:51 * Morgan nods Jan 23 20:24:55 Yes, I suppose it is Jan 23 20:26:27 * Molly holds out her hand “Come, watch the lake with us?” Jan 23 20:29:01 * Morgan nods, coming to sit with her Jan 23 20:29:37 * Molly ticks herself against him, and puts his hand on her stomach “He’s active this evening” Jan 23 20:29:55 Is he? Jan 23 20:32:53 * Molly nods, shifting his hand to a particular spot “Right here. Kicking, I think” *he still can’t feel it though* Jan 23 20:33:42 * Morgan sighs, shaking his head Jan 23 20:35:02 * Molly gives him a smile Jan 23 20:35:07 You could listen? Jan 23 20:35:18 * Morgan nods Jan 23 20:35:20 aye Jan 23 20:38:06 * Molly nods, lifting up all her skirts and laying back, just enough space to get his ear on her bump Jan 23 20:38:29 * Morgan puts his ear to her belly Jan 23 20:40:55 *it’s going to take concentration to avoid that scent of her he likes so much. He can hear the heartbeat, and then a quiet sound of movement, a little kick Jan 23 20:42:11 Huh.... Jan 23 20:43:32 what, my love? Jan 23 20:43:43 I can hear him move Jan 23 20:46:21 *He hears it again* Jan 23 20:46:30 that must be nice Jan 23 20:47:01 * Morgan nods Jan 23 20:47:03 It really is Jan 23 20:50:08 * Molly just lets him listen to the heartbeat and the small noises of his son moving around Jan 23 20:50:30 * Morgan sighs contentedly Jan 23 20:50:53 I wonder if I could let you feel it... Jan 23 20:52:09 * Morgan shrugs Jan 23 20:52:14 I have no idea Jan 23 20:52:55 * Molly closes her eyes. His neck prickles Jan 23 20:53:21 * Morgan waits Jan 23 20:53:58 Would you lie on the bed? Jan 23 20:54:17 * Morgan nods, moving to lie down Jan 23 20:55:20 * Molly lies beside him, taking his hand Jan 23 20:55:26 Try to relax please Jan 23 20:56:43 * Morgan nods, taking a couple of deep breaths Jan 23 20:57:01 * Molly closes her eyes, concentrating. After a few moment, his neck prickles again Jan 23 20:57:12 ready? Jan 23 20:57:15 * Morgan nods Jan 23 20:57:16 I think so Jan 23 20:58:29 *He slowly starts to feel an awareness of just below his navel, like a sense of fullness, and then a little wriggle, like if he held a tiny mouse within closed hands, but within his body Jan 23 20:58:53 * Morgan frowns Jan 23 20:58:58 Oh thats... thats weird Jan 23 20:59:04 * Molly giggles Jan 23 20:59:25 It starts off much subtler, so you get used to it over time Jan 23 20:59:43 *he feels that movement again* Jan 23 21:01:03 thats... really hard to describe Jan 23 21:01:22 * Molly nods “oh yes” Jan 23 21:01:49 *he feels a little gentle flick alongside the movement* Jan 23 21:03:38 Whats -that-? Jan 23 21:04:20 that’s the kicks Jan 23 21:23:51 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jan 23 22:06:01 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
