Kabhi ran into the Weyrhall as fast as her pregnancy would allow. She had to find L'nuo, he would be so excited, just like she was. She was nearing the end of her fourth month of pregnancy. Her excitement was flooding her body. Alth had checked his weyr, he wasn't in there. So she had ran to the Weyrhall, hoping to find him at the Helios table. And Lo and Behold!
"L'nuo!" she called. She scurried over to where he was, lips drawn in a sweet smile. This was so good, she couldn't wait to tell her baby's father. "Guess what? I felt it! The baby kicked! Just now!" She sat down hard next to him, mostly plopping in the chair. She knew that around the fifth month, the mother started to feel her baby's reflex movements. Maybe she could spur another one so L'nuo could feel.

((OOC: care if a few of his wingmates are around?))
R'lan continued to sip his wine, a grin spreading over his lips as he listened to the green rider's words. Oh... this was sweet.
A few fellow Helios riders over heard and converstions began to become hushed. You could easily hear the scrap of utensils on plates and the scuff of booted feet on the rush covered floor.

((Naw go ahead))
L'nuo had raised his eyebrows in surprised as he attempted to close his lips around a chunk of meat that was just a little too large. Swallowing hard, he ended up getting it caught in his throat and going into a caughing fight, completely at a loss for words in more way than one...

((How the hell am I supposed to work with that? You guys test my abilities too much.))
Kabhi giggled, and rubbed L'nuo's back to try to help him swallow. "Stop struggling and just swallow it, wierdo," she told him, smiling. She had noticed the hush around the table, so she sat closer to L'nuo and whispered. "Your wingmates are complete busybosy nosies. Luna riders never have this problem," she told him, grinning. She was too excited to let some of his roughnck buddies disrupt her. Wrench! The baby kicked again. "Did you see that?" She said louder, moving back so she didn't kill his eardrums. "Here, put your hand here." She grabbed his hand, took the fork from it, and set it on her tummy. "Hold on a minute, maybe he'll do it again."

L'nuo finally managed to swallow and as soon as he did so he started spilling out questions as if he hadn't heard a thing she had said.
"What are you talking about? What's wrong Kabhi? Don't you have drills today?"
Finding his hand taken in hers then on her stomach, he shut right up however, as the baby kicked again almost as soon as his hand was on the stomach. Jumping in his seat, he leaned closer forgetting most of his wingmates were present and stuck his hand beneath her shirt so that he could feel it without obstructions.
"Did you feel that Kabhi? Was that the baby? I think it kicked!"

She rolled her eyes. The man really was a bit dim. "Yeah, I felt it better than you, I reckon. Yes, it was the baby. Voracious, isn't he? He's been kicking all day. Isn't it great?" She was really excited about this, more excited than she ever thought she would be. She was having a baby! "I alreay had drills today with the Queen's Wing. It was wierd. But fun."

L'nuo could only smile at the woman as he felt another kick, making him miss half of what she had said. This was amazing! Why couldn't any of the other women he had been with tell him they were with his children? Why would any man not want to know?! L'nuo, even though he knew he'd never settle down with the woman next to him, was the happiest man in the world to know that he was finally a part of a child's life, even if that life had only begun to show.
"The queen's wing huh?" He said, finally gathering control of himself and pulling his hand from her shirt to pick back up his fork. "Do you know when the baby is due? How do you know it's a he? Can you tell?"

Aha! He was excited too! She grinned. "No, I don't know for sure, but I hope it is a boy. I mean, a girl would be okay, but a boy would have more chance of Impressing, I think. And the birthing woman told me this morning that if I am near to my fifth month, it will be four more months. The whole thing takes nine months, L'nuo." She smiled at him, grateful for his attention.

The brown rider watched the whole domestic seen with humor. 'L'nuo had really gotten into it this time.' Leaning back in his chair, R'lan quickly turned a laugh into a cough as he saw the look of open wonder on his fellow wingmate's face. "I haven't had the opportunity to congratulate you, Kahbi. Congratulations. Although you could have picked a better partner." The Helios rider winked at the woman before turning back to his wine.

Kabhi laughed. Even a remark like that could not ruin her day. "I concede that you are right, R'lan, but I know that my baby will be handsome, at least. And that's better than nothing," she said, a rare grin filling her features. There had been times when she wish she wasn't pregnant, such as the morning illness, but now she wouldn't trade it for all the dragons on Pern. "Any chance of there being a cup of wine in that skin for me, R'lan?" she asked. She'd been told that a glass every so often wouldn't hurt the baby, and she thought this occasion called for it.

“Oh go jump between R’lan.” L’nuo snapped back playfully as put a good scoup full of stew into his mouth and listened to Kahbi, only to choke again when she asked for a glass of R’lan’s wine.
“Are you sure that’s a good idea? I guess if the healers said so… but still… are you sure?”
