Skysong grins in sheer delight as she tugs on her boyfriends arm, practically dragging the poor anthro about the supermarket. She was having one of those early cravings.....but then again, knowing her she was just being 'normal' and getting away with shopping for the items she liked with the excuse of "I'm Pregnant. Leave me alone."
Lucius makes sure to keep his claws from digging too far into the tile, his tank top black and his knee length shorts the same color. He frowns as someone from the store comes walking to them, not looking happy, "Hey, hun? Slow down. Sky, someone wants to talk to us."

Hersheys or Dove. Hersheys or Dove...
The choice was undeniably difficult, and Ali lingered several minutes over her choice until eventually going with the Hersheys. It was the same price, but the bag was bigger. At the rate she was getting mood swings, she needed all the chocolate she could get. She tucked the bag into the shopping basket in her other hand before proceeding to leave the aisle, consulting her list in the other hand. To the casual onlooker, the height-challenged young woman looked like any other college student, wearing the standard jeans, t-shirt, and gym shoes of her peer group.
Then again, most people weren't close enough or knew enough to look for the firming around her abdomen that signalled pregnancy. But Ali knew; ohhhh, did she know!
After snagging a few boxes of noodles (damnable noodle cravings!) in the next aisle, she crossed the item off her list and emerged from the aisle, looking more than a bit startled to see a fairly... odd-looking couple entering the supermarket. That was weird. She never saw any couples here this late at night. Not usually, anyway. Being human, she was always curious about other species, so she just sort of stood and stared for a moment, looking appropriately bemused.

The man walks up to the two, looking really flustered. "Shoes are a needed clothing item, sir."
Lucius stares at the man, obviously having never had that problem before. He glances down at his feet, wiggling his 'toes' a little before laughing, "Come on, have you even looked at my feet, sir?" He tilts his head to the side, his hair moving out of the way to reveal the milky white color of his left eye, a nasty scar running over the socket.
Sky growls at the man, tugging on her mates arm again, "Come oon! I want my sweets! And if you dare interupt my sweet rampage you are going to get it, buster." She wasn't in that much of a good mood as one could tell. If one payed close attention to her stomach - if they managed to draw their eyes from her wings, tail and ears after looking at the male, they would see a small bulge that looked....odd.....against her very slim figure.

Ali resisted the urge to giggle as the man accosted the pair. Dumb people always tried to argue with nonhumans. And they failed. She stirred out of her thoughts and walked toward the pair, her gym shoes squeaking a bit on the floor. "I don't think he's gonna walk on the food," she pointed out to the rather flustered-looking man.
She glanced over at the woman (or the female of whatever-species-she-was), momentarily distracted from the argument. The woman looked and sounded cranky, and Ali had a feeling the poor woman wanted sugary things, the same things Ali wanted. Poor dear. Her glance strayed, and she happened to see the very, very, very, very small bulge in the area of her abdomen. One of the college girl's eyebrows raised. Someone else in her same situation?

The man looked slightly surprised at the new womans' interuption, "I have to follow the stores regulations, and he has no shoes on. He has to-urk!"
Lucius steps up to the man, pulling himself to his full height, which was a startling six two, "Look, I'll just be a moment so my mate can get what she wants and then we'll leave. I'll be sure to put something around my lethal claws, ones I know how to use -mind you, next time we come in." He grins softly, his voice calm as if he were talking about the weather and not telling the guy to back off.
Sky blinks at the new lady, smiling softly, "Thanks." She giggles and puts her hands on her hips, glancing at the basket, "Oooh, hersheys. We'll have to pick some of that up." She grins broadly, ears perking up as she sticks a hand out, "I'm Skysong, Sky for short. And as soon as Luc is done with the poor teenager, you can shake his hand too."

Ali wasn't sure whether to be impressed or annoyed by the anthro's act. Guys. They were such.... guys. Argh. Made her glad to not have a boyfriend.
Then again... no, not thinking about that.
She grinned at the other female, shoving her glasses a little further up her nose with one finger before extending a hand to shake Sky's. "Nice to meet you, Sky. I'm Ali." She released the hand and grinned, glancing down at her basket. "Yeah, serious cravings problems. Serious, serious cravings..." She grimaced.

The male human rushes off, looking as if he were ready to wet himself.
Lucius grumbles and walks over to Sky and Ali, putting an arm around his mate, "Sorry about that love, some humans just don't get it." he sighs and smiles at the other female, "Hi. I'm Lucius, Luc for short." He holds his free hand out.
"Same here." She giggles, her tail twitching behind her lazily, "Sorry if what Luc just did bothered you, he's been really good to me all day." The feline purrs softly, glancing up at her new boyfriend, "We just started dating today, the whole..." she waves a hand at her own stomach, "Thing kinda caught me and I told him earlier." She smiles and snuggles up into his hold.
"I can't let anything happen to you either way. Even if you weren't carrying my kid - everyone at the household would kill me if you went poof on my watch."

Ali watched the other human run off. Wuss. She turned back to Luc, shaking his hand with a grin on her face. "Hi, Luc. I'm Ali." She shrugged casually, not really bothered by his intimidation tactic. "Eh, he's a guy. 'S what he does," she said, shoving her glasses up her nose again. Damn things needed to stay where she put them! Stupid glasses.
She tok a moment to process the whole kid and dating thing, not quite sure how that all worked. Once she thought she had their situation figured, she had to admit hers was weirder. Much weirder. "Ah. Yeah, well... having a kid on the way can make a guy extra territorial." She felt a small pang of regret that there wouldn't be any guy to get territorial over her, but hey, that was life.

Sky flicks one ear forward, "Hm." An odd look passes over her face as an idea pops into her head.
Luc frowns at his mate, wondering what she was thinking of now, "Sky? What's running around in your head this time?" His voice was cautious. You never knew what exactly would infest itself in the hybrids mind.
"Heee. Wanna go for ice cream after you pay for your stuff and we get ours? Personally I wouldn't mind chatting with another girl in my 'situation'. It'd be fun." She shrugs a wing, not really knowing much about it since most of the pregnant people she talked to were all male...and that was an odd thing to share with a human who might be able to tolerate anthros, but not the idea of all male creatures that could mate with one another.
"Ah. Hm. Yeah, if you want, that's alright with us, Ali. Skys' pretty spontaneous with stuff like this. If you have to be home or something, that's cool. But if not, we have a few places we can go." He nods, blue hair falling back to cover his scarred eye. He'd wear an eyepatch, but that would be WAY too obvious.

Ali had to wonder if she was that obviously pregnant. Of course, she gave it away by going pale and glancing down at her belly to make sure it was still flat when Sky spoke about 'girl in my situation'. Crud. It wasn't that obvious physically, but her attitude gave it away.
Oh, and the chocolate.
"Uhhh, sure. Ice cream is good," Ali stuttered, shoving her glasses up again, even though they didn't need the shoving this time. Great. Now she was forming a nervous habit. "I have to grab a couple more things, but that'll be quick," she added quickly, glancing back and forth between the two.
Then she had to ask. "Am I that obvious?" she asked quietly, looking quite young and pitiful.

"Sure thing. We gotta grab some other stuff too." Sky smiles and pats her on the shoulder, "And you hide it perfectly, Ali. Just that, being a feline your sense of smell is sharper. I can tell the difference between high hormones and low hormones." She giggles and skips off down the isle, disappearing into the next one.
Luc shook his head and smiles softly at Ali, "She is right though, I wouldn't have known it unless she'd said something." He chuckles and brushes his hair out of his face, the scar flashing briefly before hiding under a longer lock of hair, "We'll meet you out in the front, alright?" He smiles and waves, heading off after Sky.

Ali watched Sky skip off, looking rather glum. Oh yeah. She was preeeeeetty obvious. It was obvious that the other female was just trying to make her feel better. Oh maaaaan. If she was this obvious now, how obvious would it be once she started showing?!
Whatever gods there were, they had cruel, cruel senses of humor.
She managed a weak smile up at Luc and nodded her assent. After taking a moment to process, she managed to get to the fresh produce section to get her fruits and veggies. After swinging through the dairy section to grab a couple gallons of fat-free milk, she made her way to the front of the store and slipped into an open check-out line, hurriedly putting her things up on the counter. While the cashier began to ring up the items, she glanced down at her stomach and smoothed her shirt, examining herself carefully just to make sure that she wasn't too obvious.
Being paranoid was such a pain.

The anthros gather what they needed and walk to the cashier. Skysong giggles, holding a box of cookies in her arms while Lucius willingly carries the other sweets, a loving smile on his face as they checked out.
Sky may be childish about many things, but she had been serious when she'd told Ali that she hid herself very well, but she also picked up the slight peak in her scent. The tiger in her purred at the smell of the fear, but the human and angelic held it back, making sure to let the younger female choose the most expensive ice cream possible when they go get some. She felt kinda bad.

Ali paid using her debit card and then gathered up her few paper bags of groceries. She made her way toward the store exit and settled down on the bench to wait. She glanced around to look for the anthros, finally spying them in one of the other cashier lines. The young woman lifted a hand to wave, fidgeting every now and then on the bench.
While she took the opportunity to sit and relax for just a minute, her mind wandering all over the place. She wasn't ready for this... at all. In a random moment of being high on sugar, apple juice, and... life?... she had made a silly decision. She needed to talk to Randi about this. This was such a mess.

Lucius pays for the stuff and carries the bag, assuring Sky that her cookies would be safe on top. He chuckles as he watches Sky scuttle off to meet up with Ali quicker, the older female almost acting like a child.
Sky skids to a halt beside the bench, letting out a happy giggle, "You wanna put your stuff in your car?" She tilts her head, watching Lucius walk over to the car they came in and put the stuff in, walking back over afterwards to stand beside her.
