[for Ellen] baby time

[manwithoutfear]

The baby can happen any day, now. These past few weeks, I've been wary of leaving Ellen alone for any extended period of time. Neverland has been full of surprises, but a functioning cellular network hasn't been one of them. While I don't do particularly well with being cooped up, I have the good sense to keep my complaints to myself.

I'm not carrying something the size of a watermelon in my stomach, and if it weren't for me, she wouldn't be in this predicament. I have a strong enough sense of self-preservation to shut my mouth.

I step in from a few stolen moments spent outside, wandering towards the kitchen. It's getting close to dinner.

"I was thinking I could make fish tonight," I call out.

She's been feeling - slightly off, today. It's nothing completely out of the ordinary - she'd been warned against things like Braxton-Hicks contractions and other weird sensations as they get closer to her due date, but the knowledge that she could give birth any time is definitely in the back of her mind.

Zeus is hovering around her too, almost as if he senses something's about to happen - which doesn't really help her nerves.

"Fish sounds good," she calls back, and unceremoniously waddles out of the bathroom, exhaling softly.
