Omega19x: *an insecure bishie, barely squeezing into Malik's clothes, heads with his boyfriend to *gasp* a maternity apparel shop*
ph33r my rod: *feels just a liiiiiiittle awkward, as any boyfriend would, but keeps reminding himself it's allll for his Ryou~*
Omega19x: "Hello. Welcome to Pickles and Cream Puffs Maternity Apparell. We're what you're craving!"
Omega19x: *blush*
ph33r my rod: (( *dies* ))
ph33r my rod: "...um, okay."
Omega19x: "Can I help you find anything in particular today?"
Omega19x: *The ditzy blonde saleslady looks at the two of them* "It's not often we see the husbands shopping with their wives. That's, like, really sweet."
ph33r my rod: *nudges Ryou, muttering something* "If they call you a girl, just... go with it this time. We don't want any uproars or anything..."
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: "... I... I need s..some new clothes."
Omega19x: "Well, of course you do! Now that you've got a bun in the oven. Or should I say, a cream puff in the oven."
ph33r my rod: *resists the urge to facepalm*
Omega19x: "How far along are you, sweetheart?"
Omega19x: *looks at Malik*
ph33r my rod: "Uhhh..." *thinks fast* "...four months?"
Omega19x: "yeah."
Omega19x: "How sweet. Well, we've got a variety of styles to choose from, that will flatter that motherly figure of yours. And sundresses are on sale. Perfect for when you really start budding out in the summer months!"
ph33r my rod: *eye twitches, but somehow manages to keep a straight face*
Omega19x: "And anything with a pink tag is 10% off! Have fun shopping!"
Omega19x: *nods, and makes his way quickly to things that don't look like they're dresses.*
ph33r my rod: *follows after Ryou, glad to get away from the scary lady*
Omega19x: "... the... the name of this place does have a nice ring to it."
ph33r my rod: *smirks* "Heh... you would think so. Cream puffs."
Omega19x: *holds up a big shirt that says 'Cream Puffs in the Oven.'* "I might have to get this one..."
ph33r my rod: "Okay, that so works for you."
Omega19x: "... Malik, how do you know what size to... to get?"
ph33r my rod: "...um. You might want to get one in... a pretty large size." *lowers his voice* "We have no clue how big they'll get, but there's no sense in getting something fitting when they're probably going to grow more..."
Omega19x: "... right..."
Omega19x: "... I guess I need a couple pairs of... of pants..."
Omega19x: *and picks up a couple*
ph33r my rod: *looks at them* "I'd say stick with the ones that have really loose elastic waists... just to be safe."
Omega19x: "... yeah... that's a good idea..."
Omega19x: *swaps for some elastic waisted ones that look really stretchy.*
Omega19x: *and some large nightgowns just happen to catch his attention. There's a pink one that reads 'girl puff' and a blue one that reads 'boy puff.' Awww...*
ph33r my rod: "They sure make lots of cream puff references, don't they?"
Omega19x: "It is in the name of the store..."
Omega19x: *annoying ditzy saleslady sees them looking at those gowns* "Sooo... do you know if it's going to be a boy or a girl yet?"
ph33r my rod: *twitch* "Uh..."
Omega19x: "um... n..no... We don't know what they'll be..."
Omega19x: "Oh! Are you having twins? We have 'twin puff' gowns over there in the Mommies of Multiples section.
ph33r my rod: "...heh, twin puffs. Cute."
Omega19x: *goes to look over there.*
Omega19x: "... I think I'll just stick with the one 'cream puffs in the oven' shirt... They don't really have one for four puffs..."
ph33r my rod: *nod* "...uh huh."
Omega19x: "But... I do wonder if... if one of these gowns would be more comfortable... when... you know... later on..."
ph33r my rod: "Maybe so. You'd probably have more room."
Omega19x: "Actually, a lot of mommies to be feel a lot more comfortable in dresses than pants during the last trimester. Because that belly really does tend to get in the way of things."
Omega19x: *she just pops out like annoying toast.*
Omega19x: "Okay, Malik... m.. maybe I should get... um... one gown... To sleep in..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Prolly just one of the plain ones, unless there's another one you like..."
Omega19x: "... Is there... one you like?"
ph33r my rod: "..." *looks around at them for a few moments, blushing awkwardly*
ph33r my rod: "...ooh." *holds up a lavender one, the same color as his eyes* "How about this one?"
Omega19x: "... You'd have to wear your purple shirt, though... we could match."
Omega19x: *smiles*
ph33r my rod: *blushes a bit more* "...uh huh."
Omega19x: "... um... okay, two pairs of pants... two shirts... a gown... Is there anything else I need?"
ph33r my rod: "I dunno... maybe we should ask that girl if there's anything else?" *headscratch*
Omega19x: "... um... Miss? Is... there anything else I should get?"
Omega19x: "It's never too soon to start thinking about our 'lil'puffs' line of baby apparel!"
ph33r my rod: "...on second thought, maybe we should wait until we know what they are before looking for any of that stuff."
Omega19x: "...um... yeah..."
Omega19x: "Oh, you might want to think of getting a new pair of shoes. Often Mommies to be see that their feet grow a whole size!"
Omega19x: "Many new mommies-to-be don't know that yet."
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "...huh."
Omega19x: *thinks* "... that... makes sense, I guess..."
Omega19x: "Yes, your feet may swell a little. You are putting extra weight on those pretty tootsies, of course."
ph33r my rod: *twitch* "...yeah, let's go look at shoes."
Omega19x: "okay, Malik... good idea."
Omega19x: *walks far away from the saleslady who seems to hover.*
Omega19x: *and stares at the shoes* "... Malik... what size am I in... in women's shoes?"
ph33r my rod: "Uh... there's one of those foot-measure things over there." *points to a rug with different foot sizes on it*
Omega19x: *measures.* "okay... maybe I'm... a... a nine-ish?"
ph33r my rod: "Looks like it..."
Omega19x: "... okay... a pair of... of sneakers should work."
Omega19x: "Oh! We have a sale on our special 'icing' brand of underwear, so you can still feel your best while your puffs are in the oven!"
ph33r my rod: *cringes as she pops up out of nowhere again* "..."
Omega19x: *blush*
ph33r my rod: "I don't think that's necessary."
Omega19x: "... um... no... th..that's perfectly... um... all right... I'm just fine... without them."
Omega19x: *gathers up what he has* "I think this should do, right?"
Omega19x: "Have you browsed through our accessories?"
Omega19x: "Nothing like a pair of pretty puff ear-rings to go with your new outfit!"
Omega19x: "And we can even provide custom Pickles and Cream Puff Baby Shower and Birth announcements for your little puffs!"
ph33r my rod: "...I think we're good for now."
Omega19x: "Allrighty, let me just ring you up."
Omega19x: "Would you like to become a PCP Plus card member? Each time you shop, you can earn Puff-Points!"
ph33r my rod: "...I dunno." *looks at Ryou* "What do you think?"
Omega19x: "... No... um... not today..."
Omega19x: "Maybe.... um... next time."
Omega19x: *they gathered up their shopping bags, and headed out of the store*
ph33r my rod: "...man, that lady was scary."
Omega19x: "... I... I think I really like that store... but... but the saleslady... um.... yeah. I agree."
ph33r my rod: "Well... hopefully we've got all we need to prepare you for the next couple of weeks, huh."
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
ph33r my rod: *magical homelapse?*
Omega19x: *magical homelapse*
Omega19x: "... that... should do it... Thank you for coming with me to... to get something like this... It's... really strange to go in... in a store like that..."
ph33r my rod: "It's okay. It was kinda weird, but it was for you, so..."
Omega19x: "... well..." *looks down at his belly.* "... It's kind of... necessary..."
Omega19x: *blush*
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...uh huh."
ph33r my rod: "But at least we got it done before you really started showing, huh?"
Omega19x: "Yeah. I... I don't think I'd like to be walking around... um... like that... uncovered or... something."
Omega19x: "I... I didn't like doing that before..."
ph33r my rod: "...and you wouldn't like it now, either."
ph33r my rod: (( *ded* Did you see this thread between Malik and Amane? XD ))
ph33r my rod: (( http://ghost-princess.livejournal.com/15572.html?thread=2 22420#t222420 ))
Omega19x: (YES)
ph33r my rod: (( *dies* AMANE. STFUUUU. XD ))
Omega19x: (this is her own brother she's talking about...)
ph33r my rod: (( I know. *ded* ))
Omega19x: "... though, Malik... I really think I'm showing enough...I mean... you... you can really tell..." *yeah, he ain't seen nothin' yet*
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Yeah... have you been rubbing that lotion on your stomach?"
Omega19x: *weak nod* "I did this morning..."
ph33r my rod: "Does it help at all?"
Omega19x: "A little, yes."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "That's good."
Omega19x: *suddenly just stops dead in his tracks, gasping* "..oh my..."
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "...what is it?"
Omega19x: "... I... I think I... just felt it move..."
Omega19x: "or... one of them move... anyway..."
Omega19x: "... th...that felt very weird..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *reaches over and gently places his hand on Ryou's stomach*
Omega19x: *moves Malik's hand up a little, to where he felt the rolling inside*
Omega19x: "... o..over here..."
ph33r my rod: *holds his hand there for a few moments*
Omega19x: "... do you feel it?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "A little bit... man, that feels weird."
Omega19x: "... it... it feels weirder to... to me... "
Omega19x: "I... I think I need to sit down..."
ph33r my rod: "Alright..." *leads Ryou over to the couch*
Omega19x: *sits down slowly* "... I... I can hardly believe there's... room in there... for them to move..."
ph33r my rod: *sits down next to Ryou, wrapping an arm around him* "Yeah... you're showing a lot, but you're really not all that big yet..."
Omega19x: "... oh woah... that one just moved again..."
Omega19x: "... I wonder if... if that one's closer to where the spleen used to be... maybe that's why he has room to move..."
ph33r my rod: "Entirely possible." *leans over, resting his head against Ryou's* "Or maybe one of your other organs..."
Omega19x: *that theory got shot right out the window when he felt a jab in a lower area*
Omega19x: "...ow... n..now that one hurt..."
Omega19x: *rubs the tender area that just got kicked by a moving alien*
ph33r my rod: "...okay, so maybe there's not as much room in there as we first thought."
Omega19x: *weak shrug*
Omega19x: *reaches for Malik's hand, and squeezes it*
ph33r my rod: *squeezes back, smiling*
Omega19x: "... it... it's kind of amazing, though... when you think about it.. There's... life in there... And we just felt it."
