For the official baby shower Glenn and Silver attempted to host the whole coven. Glenn was a bit worried about what so many people in once place might do to Silver but the werewolf assured him it was best they host. That way he could always duck into the bedroom for a minute of peace and any grumpiness would just be seen as him having high standards as a host.
Elise: Glenn! You look great. You're glowing like one of my moonlight charged gems
Glenn: Oh thanks I-
Jackson: Marisol is angry she couldn't bring Sandy
Marisol: Hush Jackson, I didn't say that
Jackson: She said she misses her dog so it's basically the same
Elise: Do you not miss Throttle
Jackson: Not right this second, my dog can take care of himself. Plus he has Thrash for company
Elise: Luckily BooBoo doesn't need company, he's a very self confident cat
Koko: Glenn, I have a baby shower gift for you
Glenn: You do? You really like gift wrapping huh
Koko: It gives me something to do. Will you open it now?
Henri: What are we talking about all the way out here? The dangers of crowds?
Howard: *laughing* Oh I think we all know the dangers of crowds
Silver: I mean... I'm doing better with them than I was a year ago right?
Henri: Oui, indeed
Silver: Thank you for bringing the snacks Henri. They're not uh... you know?
Henri: Laced with pleasure? Everything I bake is, but just low doses for everyday bakes
Silver: But... could that hurt the kid
Henri: Kids are stronger than you think Silver. Surely you saw your fair share of werewolf cub fights, no?
Silver: Oh the battles between the young ones were ferocious but they couldn't get seriously hurt, werewolves can't
Howard: I do find it fascinating how impervious your kind is to damage
Henri: Your kid is bound to be just the same, even if they're a spellcaster
Silver: I hope so. Losing parents was hard enough, I can't imagine losing a kid- sorry Howard
Howard: *soft smile* I'll see my boy again when my time is through
Glenn was doing the rounds when he noticed Ophelia standing in the corner, staring at the treefish in the tank.
Glenn: You alright there Ophelia
Ophelia: Me? Yes. I was just wondering what it must be like for Oakley
Glenn: What do you mean
Ophelia: He's a proud only child. How can he comprehend a new sibling coming in to his world?
Glenn: Uhhhh, you think he has that much awareness?
Ophelia: Oh I've no idea. But I think he looks like he's getting ready
Glenn: Right... why don't we sit down for a bit Ophelia
Ophelia: Of course. I was just waiting for you to suggest that
So the pair sat down at the table beside Gillian and began to snack.
Glenn: I don't suppose you can tell me if I'm growing a baby boy or baby girl
Ophelia: I can't. They haven't decided yet
Glenn: They haven't decided yet?
Ophelia: Gender is a social construct anyway but their body hasn't decided which sex they most want to be like. It's as if their inner boy and girl are playing tic tac toe for it, like their inner spellcaster and werewolf are
Glenn: Wait, are you saying they'll be both genders and both occults
Ophelia: I can't give you hints about the future Glenn, you know this
Phoebus: How are you coping Silver
Silver: Better. I wanted to apologise for my behaviour in your house right after we learned Glenn was pregnant
Phoebus: Silver, I may not know what it's like to have been alone as long as you were but I can understand that unlearning behaviour takes time. Now here, I got Drusilla to help me with this
Silver: What is it? Is it- wait... how?
Phoebus: Drusilla does blood magic. From the blood sample of your child she was able to work backwards along the family lines. Does it look right?
Silver: *happily* The sketch looks exactly like my mom looked. Thank you. Thank you so much
Phoebus: You're very welcome. Oh no need to hide your tears from me Silver, they're a sign of love
