Mistalina layed out on the couch, lounging and reading a magizine when she heard the door open. She turned on the couch, to see Julia come in. "Hey, where've you been?" She smiled softly. Demetrius who was on the floor with the boys looked back as well. "Hello, Miss Julia." He smiled a little, then turned back to the children. Shidiomi didn't look up, he was occupied playing with Nymue who was burbling and gumming a stuffed toy.

Julia smiled over at Mistalina, her hostess, who had become more of a friend. "Hello, Demetrius, hello, Mistalina. Oh, I was just checking in on that house... The people have apparently changed their minds about selling, despite having signed the contract, so I'm going to have to find another house." A look of concern flickered across her face, for she didn't want to impose upon her friend for too long. She wasn't exactly able to contribute, yet, after all, since she was currently 'between jobs.' She knew that would change soon, but still...
Her mind was focused on the thoughts of the life growing within her, and her right hand unconsciously found its way to her slightly swollen belly. Shifting to another thought, she asked, "So how have you guys been while I was gone?" She knew it had been less than four hours, but it had seemed like FOREVER to her.

"Your welcome to remain here, theres plenty of space." Mistalina got up from the couch and walked to Julia. "Quite well, dinner is in an hour or two." She smiled and looked her houseguest over. Something is different about her. Then she noticed her hand on her belly. She bent down and put a hand to Julia's belly, laughing a little when she felt the gentle curve of it. "I don't think I have to ask where you've been." She drew back and righted herself.

Julia smiled, grateful for Mistalina's generosity. "Thank you, I really appreciate it." She didn't know what else she could say, since she couldn't think of anything that would express her gratitude. At the change of subject, she giggled, grinning happily. "Yeah, I suppose it is pretty obvious. I made a stop at the clinic on the way to meet them, and was able to secure an appointment. In fact, they were actually free just about twenty minutes later, so I figured, why wait? I'm so excited. I've always wanted to be a mother, but never been able to, until now." She blushed, then looked down to inspect the fingernails on her left hand, for even though Mistalina was her friend, she still sometimes felt uncomfortable sharing her feelings, due to her upbringing.

"Theres plenty of room in the nursery, though we'll have to find another crib. Come, sit and relax...enjoy the state your in before it all turns into constant little aches and pains." She laughed a little and walked back to the couch.

Julia laughed, not quite believing that there would be aches and pains. After all, people always seemed so... happy, when they were pregnant! "Oh, don't worry, I'm sure I'll be able to buy a crib soon. I should get that job I applied for soon. The man said, after all, that I was very high on his 'considering list' without me even prompting him to say so... I hope he wasn't just saying that, though." She frowned slightly, then forced herself to cheer up, thinking instead about how wonderful it would be to have children.

"I'd be careful about men like that." She settled herself on the couch and watched Demetrius with the boys. After a moment she glanced at Julia again. "I have some clothes and things you can borrow later, once your own don't fit." She turned her gaze up to the ceiling.

She frowned slightly, for she hadn't really thought about the man being possibly bad. She mulled over that for a moment, then brought herself back to the world around her. Perhaps he wasn't bad, afterall, and perhaps he had just been trying to give her some enthusiasm since she had seemed so down after the initial interview.
"Thanks, I appreciate that, too. If there's anything I can do in return, don't EVER hesitate to ask, okay?"
She sat down next to Mistalina, staring off into space. 'I've got to find some way to repay her... But how?'

"Mhm..." Mistalina shifted on the couch, letting an elbow rest on the arm of the couch and her gaze dropped to Julia. The tip of her tail flicked idly from side to side for a moment or two before wrapping around her leg.
"Make sure to go to all your appointments and take care of yourself. Because nothing you do this next while is gonna be for your own health, and enjoy it while you can still comfortably walk a decent distance." She chuckled.

Julia grinned, not really thinking that far ahead to when she wouldn't be able to walk long distances.
"I'll take care of myself, don't worry." She smiled, thinking of the new life within her, waves of joy practically radiating from her body. Her own tail twitched boredly, curling around her arm, then uncurling, and repeating the process. She felt that she had to go out and DO something.

"Go out and get some air..." Mistalina gaze drifted off toward Demetrius and the boys, but she still spoke to Julia. "...why not go look at some things for a nursery?"

Julia smiled gratefully, glad that somehow Mistalina had sensed her anxiousness. She nodded, saying, "That sounds like a fantastic idea! Thank you." With that, she pulled her purse over to her and started rustling through it to see how much cash she had. She HATED to use credit cards, and refused to use them, and was consequently left with cash, since her checking account was virtually empty.

The tiefling sighed idly and shifted on the couch again. She didn't know what else to say to the woman.

Julia finally found what she was looking for in her purse; two, last, crumpled, twenty dollar bills. She pulled them out and stuffed them into her pocket, then looked to Mistalina and asked, "Would you like to come with me?"

"Nah, I need to stay and keep an eye on the boys." She glanced toward Julia, smiling faintly.
