I still say it's gonna be a girl. Isn't she gorgeous?

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Really?! Cause for some odd reason I almost didn't add 'nephew.' I don't know why! I just got it in my head that it was a girl.

I'm holding out for a little clone of Zee, that's what I really want. Maybe it's a sign or something, ya know?

For the record? You're gonna be the best aunt ever. Ya know, next to Sassy. ;)

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I'll do my best.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

You'll nail it. Trust me, I know these things.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I usually do good with other people's kids. So long as I give them back and all that.

My brother and his wife just announced they're expecting, too. There must be something in the water. I am SO not drinking any.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

...Right, never drinking water again, kthnx.

Not around this place. Remy's in a list community and the one this week was for baby names. You don't even want to know how much I freaked out when I saw his journal. And my brother and I got on the subject of the mother thing... it's been a nerve-wracking couple of days.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

HA. I'm in that comm. I didn't care much for the topic either, but I decided to have fun with it.

[bookish-blonde.livejournal.com]

I just wasn't expecting to see it. And on top of my brother telling me he thinks I'd be good at the mom thing, it just kinda rattled me. It's one of those things that makes me go 'Oh my god I can't do this!' Not too crazy about the other M-word, either. You're way braver than I am.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

What, marriage? Trust me, it scares me plenty.

[bookish-blonde.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that'd be the word.

But you're doing it, right? Just the thought makes me wanna run like hell. I can't shake the feeling that I'd probably just screw it up.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I am, so far, yeah.

Julian and I are...highly unique, I guess you could say.

[bookish-blonde.livejournal.com]

So how freaked out were about it before he asked you?

*grins* And it works, obviously.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Oh my God. How freaked out was I when he asked me? Especially seeing as I'd just woken up from a friggin' coma!

But, I don't know. I wanted...just, that whole 'I'm yours, you're mine and no one else's' thing just became more and more appealing the more I thought about it.

[bookish-blonde.livejournal.com]

That's... kinda sweet, actually.

Yeah, the idea sounds nice, and maybe one day it won't scare me. But I came from Crappy Marriage 101. I guess I'm just afraid I'll screw up because I never took Good Marriage 101. You know?

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

It was? But it was also a lot to deal with at once.

I totally get that and don't blame you. I mean, my mom? Is on marriage number six. SO.

[bookish-blonde.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I bet.

*blinks* Six? Wow. Mine are still married, but it's a name only deal. If it weren't for that, they'd probably have at least that many each.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

That's...my mom. I don't even try to make excuses or explain for her anymore. Some people are just insane.

[bookish-blonde.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I stopped excusing mine a long time ago, too.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I think it's a wise move. Most likely preserves many brain cells.
