Arafel smiled, carefully picking up the plate and the glass of milk. Moving around to return to the table, carefully setting the lucnh infront of the boy. It was wierd.. Freize was out with the other kids, and all her own children had their own things to go to. Which for once just left her and Spiro.
"I hope thats okay." she fidgeted a bit with a smile, for some reason she felt nervious around Freize's kids. She knew Freize himself accepted her, but there was allways the chance one of the kids wouldn't.
But she quickly tossed the thought away to return to the kitchen and get herself something.

The halfbreed lowered his eyes, nodding. "Thank you..." He had trouble with adults besides Freize.. He chewed at his lower lip lightly, observing the lunch before letting his head lift once more. The weremutt had taught him that he should always wait for everyone else to get their food and be sitting before he should eat himself. His tail swished slowly behind him and he fiddled with a bandaged wrapped around one of his fingers.
Spiro was far from judgemental- he didn't believe he had the right to be judging anyone else, or that anyone else deserved to be judged. He didn't think it was fair to decide who and what people were like that... He just didn't like it.

Arafel gathered her own food, the same as what she gave spiro just.. minus the bread. And up the meat. So basically some meat on a plate. Woo. And a glass of water... Simple was good.
She set her food down, pulling the chair back to sit before freezing. Her eyes widened in an odd expression of shock. She stood straight, hand moving to her stomach.
The shocked expresion stayed a moment more before she let out a loud squeal. Nearly jumping with joy.

The lack of women he had grown up around was obvious just then. Arafel squealed, and Spiro looked at her as if she had sprouted herself a third head.. His brows arched slightly and he wondered if he should ask if she were okay.. "E-erm..." He gave a tilt to his head, watching the older one curiously.
Well, this was new. He settled back slightly, finally getting himself to speak, "Are you.. Okay?"

Arafel hadn''t really been so happy around.. well, anyone before. "Wha? Oh. Yea!" She beamed, both hands moving over her stomach "Aa! It did it again!" surely she looked insane to the poor child. But in all honesty she was too exceited to care.
In about a second she was next to him, mindful of his much needed personal space bubble. Pointing to her stomach "Feel Feel! The baby''s kicking!"

The halfbreed watched her, completely baffled as to what was going on. This was a little too odd for him. He had trouble with normal behavior, and now this.. He shifted slightly, teeth tugging at his lower lip. What the heck was-
She was by him now, pointing at her stomach and telling him to feel... He looked up at her and then uncertainly lifted a hand... He paused, and then rested it lightly on her stomach, as if expecting it to explode.

Arafels smile widened even more (if possibe) when the baby did indeed kick into spiro's palm. It would have been awful if nothing had happend. I really AM crazy!
She made another highpitched noise of happiness, though it wasn't quite the squeal as before. Her tail wagging vigorously behind her.

The halfbreed jumped as something in Arafel's belly jumped against his hand. He hesitated a bit, seeming really curious now, "The... The baby..?" He looked up towards her with a childish expression, having not a lot of knowledge about unborn babies, but she said the baby was kicking or something... And... He was curious. So curious, he let his inner childish innocence show. Atleast for a little while, anyways.

The krazee pregnent lady nodded happilly. "It's never done this before... He or she must want to meet you." God only knew if that was true or not. But it worked well with the situation. And she beleived it, so that was enough.
Arafel though didn't have a clue about any of the childrens ignorence to the whole thing, and didn't know enough to explain it without being asked. Atleast she could use the anology that Kagi had used now.

The boy tilted his head at that, letting his hand return to his side now, a bit awkwardly. "Oh..." He looked down for a moment, rocking on his heels before looking back up at her with a blank face, "Why?" He didn't know why any baby would want to meet him, it didn't make any sense... He was a bit surprised that she had said that, and that someone kicked because they wanted to see him.. That was... Well, he didn't know. But it didn't make sense to him. And the way he was thinking, it wouldn't make sense to anyone else either.

"Well.. because." she gave a thoughtful look "One, you're his or her big brother. And two, who wouldn't want to meet you?" try not to hit a nerve here. "I mean.. I know i'd want to get out and see you... But Iunno if that means much.." Not that she meant much... But atleast that was something, ne? She gave a shrug and a smile, then a squeak when the baby kicked once more. "See?" she gave a light laugh, her tail just now starting to slow down as she mentally tried to calm herself.

Spiro went quiet for a moment, thinking to himself silently... "Oh..." He hesitated, and then looked up at the woman and actually smiled a bit, nodding his head slightly. "Okay..." He seemed to have gotten something from her talk, but what it was no one could be certain.. He jumped a bit when she mentioned the baby kicking again, his hand lifting uncertainly before resting gently on her belly again... He wouldn't really be their brother, though, because... Freize wasn't his dad, but that was okay. He had learned that "siblings" were okay to have sometimes.

Arafel's smile widened, shifting so he could feel better. There were a few more kicks, each getting weaker than the last before the baby seemed to drift off to sleep or something of the like. Arafel waited a moment, eyeing the swell of her stomach "Looks like he or she got tired." she thought outloud, glancing to the forgotten food on the table. "Oh. Sorry... Your food must be col..." she trailed off. Sandwitches didn't really need to be warm did they? "Your drinks getting warm."

The boy was still for a moment, waiting to see if there would be any more... And then his hand recoiled quickly, tucking itself into his pocket. It wasn't often he touched another person willingly- it seemed like he really was making progress in his people-fear area. He nodded, "It's okay..." He went to slip quietly back into his seat and return to eating, pondering over the whole scene and planning to write something in his journal about it. It was journal worthy, after all.. Someone had wanted to see him. He went back to eating his sandwich.

Arafel seated herself as well, kicking her feet back and forth as best she could with her feet touching the ground. Happilly picking at her food. She never ate much, well now she did. The pregnency hadn't really brought too many odd cravings though. And no morning sickenss. So far it had been really good.
