[Video]

[The camera turns on showing Giselle's face. She's smiling, though she looks very pale and a little tired.]

My! Only seven weeks of this pregnancy and I'm already quite tired! Of course I'm still so very happy about it. I know that all of this will be well worth it though when the baby is born!

[Her face lightens up as she smiles at the thought.]

Well, I had better go take a rest before it is time to make dinner!

[It looks like she meant to turn the camera off, but it continues to record. The camera is angled so you can see Giselle and Robert's bed on the other side of the room. Giselle walks over and lays down. She closes her eyes and rests her hand on her stomach. Quietly she begins to hum a tune and then she just softly sings the whole song.

As she finishes, she suddenly opens her eyes and sits up.]

My! I could certainly use some orange sherbet right now!

[And with that she leaves the bedroom, and the video feed ends.]

[OOC: This post is meant to be posted to the main community. Due to the sensitive nature of Giselle's pregnancy plot, some people have requested that I keep all related posts in Giselle's journal. I'm more than happy to help there. Those who wish to reply, please pretend they saw this in the main DDD community. Thank you! :D]

You can find that out?

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Yes, apparently here you can! Isn't that simply amazing?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

It really is! My grandmother is a surgeon but I don't know if she's ever had any way to predict a baby's sex.

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

They have these very strange machines that can show images of the baby while it is still inside me. It really is an amazing sight!

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

That's amazing!

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

It is! This world never ceases to amaze me with all of the wonderful things it has!

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to tell that to Granny.

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Does she know about the other worlds here?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

Oh. No. But I can still tell her I heard about it. I just don't have to tell her where I heard about it.

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see!

Are you and your grandmother close?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

Yeah...we are.

I hope she's not disappointed in me.

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

What? Why would you think she would?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

I left my customers...and haven't been back in a very long time. I'm not even sure I'll have an apprenticeship when I go back home. I was only supposed to be gone for a few days and it's been over a month now.

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Why did you leave?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

[Pause. Long pause.]

Another customer needed me - and once I'd taken care of him, he told me the military was using me as his hostage to make him start a war.

...I managed to escape the military but I still haven't been back home. [Kind of distant.] Then Ed got hurt....

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Oh my...how awful!

Are you taking care of your hurt friend, then?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

No, someone in the community healed him. Then he got sick with the measles and Hakkai healed him from that.

I'm...I guess I'm just hiding out here. From the military! [Tacks on that last bit. Sounds a bit...agitated.]

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

They're still looking for you? My...it must be so dangerous!

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

[Eep! Shouldn't be talking about dangerous with a pregnant woman. Even if it's true and Envy kidnapped her and....]

It'll be okay!

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? Is there anyone here who might be able to help you?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes! I'm staying with a friend now. That's why I'm not home. I'm hiding out. [That last bit might be said with a bit of distaste. Maybe.]

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

I'm very glad you're safe then! Still, it must be quite frightening.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

[Safe? Safe? When a virus puts her in Envy's hands? When another virus takes her friends away when she needs them? - manages not to laugh. barely.]

Yeah. It can be.

I-I'd better go. But. Um. Congratulations, anyway!

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Is something wrong? I haven't upset you, have I?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

N-no. No, it's.

[Soft inhalation.]

It's nothing you could do anything about.

Thank you for asking, ma'am. I-I really do need to go.
