>:I

Sonia is resting sulkily on the ground, breathing heavily. (This is pretty much what happens when you have giant second trimester belly. It is still v. annoying.)

Steph squeezes her shoulders again. "You gotta meet more people," she informs her, firmly. "There's stacks of people nicer than me. I just like babies."

Half smile. Then, shyly, "You, um, know a lot about 'em?"

Steph shakes her head. "I babysit Mel's a lot. The twins, the two girls? They're awesome. You should come play with them, they'd love you, I know."

That gets a bigger smile. "Yeah. They like throwin' stuff." Which is cute!

"Mel said she'd teach me t'read along with them."

"Ooh, I can help you with that too, if you like." Steph grins at her. "Well, I can't teach you t'read their language, because I don't know any of it. But I can help with English!"

Blink!

"I thought..." MULTIPLE LANGUAGES. Mind: blown.

"Man... I dunno if I can fit all that in my head."

"Sure you can," Steph says confidently, "Mel will go easy. Hey, if she's gonna teach you to write Sokka's language, I totally want to learn too. Do you reckon she'd teach me too?"

"I guess so?" Blink. "I thought it was all just one language..."

Steph grimaces expressively. "There's like a billion. I only know one. Sokka, my boyfriend, he knows heaps -- he can speak Chinese and everything. Me, I just speak boring old English."

"Man... he must be real smart, then."

She lies back. "...I think Alucard knows, um, Latin..."

"He's a genius," Steph agrees, a big dopey adoring grin on her face as she leans back to join Sonia on the lawn. "He's brilliant, and sweet, and funny, and really really dumb in his own special way."

d'awwww. It's hard not to feel cheered from th sheer waves of gooey coming from Steph right now. "Found a good one, huh?"

"The very best," Steph agrees.

She has lots of gooey to spare! HERE HAVE SOME GOOEY HERE HERE

"He's really good with kids too. We'll both totally help you out babysitting, when you need us."

"Oh, thanks... I'll... I'll prolly need it." She pats her bulge. "Least if it's anything like I was."

"You were a brat?" Steph grins at her. "I bet this little one'll be awesome."

"A handful, anyhow. 'Course it'll be awesome- it's a Belmont. And got a strong daddy." Yes, general lack of humility there.

Steph beams at her, glad she's cheered up a little. "Plus, the coolest farm in the world to help bring it up."

"Yeah... I guess... maybe it'll be better for us here than back home..." Which may, in a way, explain the whole being-transported-away-from-Transylvania thing.

Though she still wishes that could've waited until AFTER she beat the tar out of Dracula.

"Here's better than stacks of places."

Helpful Steph is helpful.

"Like, the last worlds we were on, they sucked. Here's great for babies, it's safe-ish and there's all this fresh food! I reckon you'll do fiiine."

"Yeah." She smiles. "And there's plenty places I can go to train it when it's older."

"Right here, even, if you want." Steph grins. "It can train with Hana and Loo, and I'm sure there'll be more kids. I like this world so much."

"Guess it'll do," she agrees.
