Late:

“Fine, considering I’m about to shove a baby out of me.”
“It can’t be all that bad.” Jacen said ignoring the looks Tahiri gave him.


shock Jacen, Jacen, Jacen. That's not something you want to tell your wife before she gives birth. shame_on_you

Help:

She got up and rushed over to Eshaa, scooping the baby into her arms and cooing in what sounded to Jacen like a cutesified version of Yuuzhan Vong.

"Cutesified" Yuuzhan Vong? laugh Is there really such a thing? raised_brow tongue

Ennth, Jacen's not the smartest of fathers. Of course he and Eshaa... well that would be spoiling one of our future vignettes!

And we don't know, we just write it into. You should make it up!

It was supposed to be a Surprise!

Well here's Part II

Answer

Jacen sat on the side of Nen Yim’s gurney, comforting her. “I’m guessing it hurts.”

“It’s like breaking into the eighth cortex, but without the needles the size of your torso.” Nen Yim’s skin’s multiple colors glistened with her sweat. Jacen picked up a small towel and wiped it off. “And of course since you’re here, I have somebody to blame.”

“That all I’m good for?”

“Well, for the next few months at least.” She said happily. “And of course you’ll be taking care of Eshaa once she decides to get out of me.”

“I don’t remember that deal.” Jacen said, narrowing his eyes.

“Yeah, it was about eight months ago. We were talking about Eshaa, and how we would raise her.” Nen Yim then cursed in Yuuzhan Vong.

“Oh! I remember now.” Jacen said scratching his beard. “Then the next morning you got mad at me because I had fallen asleep.” He grinned. “What exactly was it we agreed on?”

“Well, you said that since I would have to deal with carrying her around in my belly for eleven months, and then actually give birth. So you said you would take care of her for the next fourteen years.”

“You do realize that you can’t trust anything I say that late at night, right?”

“What?” Nen Yim said looking at him with wide eyes. “So you… you don’t love me?”

“Oh no! I love you, Nen, I just mean in those late night conversations. I tend to be thinking more about the sleep on missing out on, than what we’re saying.” He smiled. “Would I have done this to you if I didn’t love you?”

“Well, considering how much it hurts.” Nen Yim said grimacing. “But I know you meant well. And it was fun.” Her expression changed to on of mischief.

Jacen hugged his wife close to him. “Don’t worry; once Eshaa’s old enough to stay at Jaina’s or Tahiri’s, we’ll have fun again.”

“I’m going to hold you to that one too!” Nen Yim said pushing Jacen away, grimacing again.

“How’s she doing?” Tahiri asked approaching the two. She had gone to send a holo-transmission to Jaina.

“Better, she’s realized that she can’t expect me to keep any promise made late at night.” Jacen said winking at his wife. “And the doctor said she’ll be fine, and that Eshaa’s probably going to come out in a few hours. So we’ll be here for a while.”

“It’s a good thing I’m here to go on food runs for her then.” Tahiri said joking.

“And she does not like being talked about in the third person when she’s right next to you two.” Nen Yim pointed out.

“You can’t expect us to include you in all of our conversations.” Tahiri pushed Nen Yim on her shoulder, making her lie by down. “Jaina says congratulations, and if I ever call her this early again, I will discover what it feels like to have a combat boot up my arse.”

“Oh, she shouldn’t be so fast to threaten.” Nen Yim replied. “It’s her turn in three months.”

“I’m still amazed at how she got pregnant while in the Outer Rim, when Kyp was supposed to be on Coruscant helping with the reconstruction efforts.” Tahiri said shaking her head. “Of course he did make that quick trip out there to help with stopping those smugglers.”

“That’s it, then,” Jacen said conclusively. “As far as I know she hasn’t got any other boy toys.”

“That you know of.” Tahiri pointed out. “She could have an entire planet’s worth of males at her beck and call.”

“Tahiri, Jacen hasn’t found out about my harem of sex-slaves yet.” Nen Yim said, joking. “And considering they’re sneaking in and out of the flat all the time, I doubt he would be able to find out about Jaina’s boy-toys from half a galaxy away.”

“Hah-hah-hah.” Jacen said sarcastically. “I’m not a complete idiot you know.”

“Oh of course you ar-” Nen Yim’s speech was cut off by a moan of pain. “Get this child out of me!” She screamed slamming her hands on the gurney.

“It will come soon enough, Nen, at least she was only a week late, instead of a month.” Jacen said rubbing her shoulders softly. “It looks like it hurts.”

“No, you think?” Nen Yim demanded, glaring at Jacen. “And my friends and I used to wonder why shapers aren’t allowed to bear children.”

Thanks, their banter is fun to write. And we're hard at work on the next part. tongue We just had to get a little help on some of the more technical aspects.
