[Sixteenth Boom] : [Locked from Hostiles, Backdate: Sept 23rd, Video]

[The feed comes on to focus on Rei, sitting upright in a bed in a nightgown, the blankets pulled up to her waist. It can't really be seen, but she's already got a little bit of a belly going. Anyone who saw her when she went in to the hospital a couple of weeks ago, or even before that when she was feeling so ill, will notice that she looks much better than she has been.

But... she doesn't exactly look happy. Not nearly as mad as she was when she first found out (that resulted in a lot of screaming and threatening to murder Mitch if she ever got her hands on him - she's clearly calmer now) but definitely not the the picture of a glowing expectant mother that one might imagine she should be.

She sighs just before beginning to speak.]

I'm sure it hasn't escaped people's attention that I haven't been around... I went in to the hospital after being sick for almost a month and received a... surprise.

[she glances away, and the next words are muttered, but just loud enough for the mic on her comm to pick them up]

I'm pregnant. I'm nearing three months. Since I didn't know... I wasn't taking care of myself and...

[her words trail off, hand coming to rest on her stomach. The doctors said it to her several times, but she still finds it hard to believe that she nearly killed herself by negligence alone.]

A-anyway... I'm pretty much stuck in this damn bed until next month. Even then I can't exactly work, so... Paulo, Douglas, Rock... you're running the garage without me. I can still come by and supervise once I'm able to get up again, but the work is all on your hands. I'm going to keep a look out for potential workers, but until then Dart and Haku are your backups still.

Please behave yourselves.

[and with that she reaches forward and clicks the feed off]

[Have a very woodsy looking Paulo standing in what looks to be a cave. He is also very upset.]

YOU'RE PREGNANT?!

Thanks, I guess...

Hey uh... it could be worse?

At least the shop is still standing.

If it wasn't, I'd be out of this bed and kicking all your asses from here to Tetha and back again.

You know, that wouldn't be much different from my job back home if the crew wrecked the labs back there.

... When your world is in an almost constant flux of war all the rescources you can get are vital, Rei. That includes the weapon labs.

O-oh. Right.

[should know that.]

[identity profile] needsmorepower.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Anyway! [subject change] Just take care of yourself and don't worry about things here, we've got it covered.

Hmn... I'm trying to. I have a lot of people looking after me.

[oh wow she's having a kid, this is amazing]

Don't worry about the shop; we'll take care of it. Your first priority should be yourself right now.

[identity profile] steamgoboom.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I keep hearing that...

[identity profile] upgradedtohero.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah well..... it's good advice.

And wow, you're really having a kid? [just can't get over this]

[identity profile] steamgoboom.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently...

[doesn't look happy]

I didn't want this to happen! I have a job to do! And I already have Alec here... could things get any more complicated?!

[identity profile] upgradedtohero.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... um, if it's any consolation, I think you'll make a great mom.

[identity profile] steamgoboom.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Gu--...

W-well... I seem to be doing alright with Alec...

[identity profile] upgradedtohero.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Mmhm. So... it might be complicated, but it's not necessarily a bad complicated.

[identity profile] steamgoboom.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
No. I suppose not. I do like having Alec here... it was weird at first but it's definitely made things more lively.

[identity profile] scarybarrellove.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
I...

Uh...

Guh...

Congratulations, I guess?

You really need to take better care of yourself...

[identity profile] steamgoboom.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
... sh... shut up! I know that!

[identity profile] scarybarrellove.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
But... you were hospitalized!

Not even for... I mean...

GAH! You dummy! You had me worried for you!!

[identity profile] steamgoboom.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
... [slumps, head dropping down] I know. I worried a lot of people. I'm sorry...

[identity profile] scarybarrellove.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
...

Dangit, I didn't mean it like that... just...
