Bes, would you kindly explain to me what's going on with you so I can explain it to your cat? He's Concerned.

Something like that. I know it's fast but it feels right. She means the world to me and I love Alex almost as much.

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Oh yes. You're in love. Obviously. A little impetuous of you, seems like, though.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Maybe. I, uh, admit that it's a lot faster than I had planned on it. I mean, I love her and have loved her for what feels like ages but...

Well, okay, and this is just for your ears because Simba's going to drive you nuts otherwise...

She's pregnant.

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

You sly little dwarf. When is she due?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Sometime in March. I... Geez, I'm going to be a dad.

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

I take it the news is just now sinking in?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I think it comes and goes. Like it makes sense and I'm excited and then, wow, there's a whole host of things that come along with knowing that we're having a baby. Like diapers and cribs and things.

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Is this child going to be like its brother, or cousins?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Erato is pretty sure our baby will be like the cousins. Which is going to make it a little weird for Alex, I guess.

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Oh, I doubt it. He'll likely grow and think it's entirely normal.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

You're probably right... So how can I calm Simba down, anyway? He's not worried that I'm going to forget him, is he?

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Explain to him you're expecting a kitten. He can learn to dodge grabby hands. And will probably protect the new little one once the baby gets here.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Alright. I'll do that. I don't want him to worry. He's kinda my first kid. He's fantastic.

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

He is. And a little reassurance will go a long way.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I'll take care of that then. Right away.

And, Bastet? Thank you.

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

You're welcome. Do keep me posted.
