Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well I hope mommy is eating healthy for her baby." Dr. Zane did as she said and tried her left side. Sure enough, there were results. A small fetus could be seen sucking on it's thumb in the monitor, which the doctor pointed out for everyone. It's heartbeat could be heard very well too. "And there...she is, hiding from us this entire time. Picking up her heartbeats now too."

"She?" Eric wondered if that was meant to be, or it overhearing them earlier...

"Oh, its not that, I believe the doc's words." He answered Mina with a smile. He's never seen her this happy, and he sure wasn't going to wreck it now. Just another thing to talk about later in private. Eric pointed at the screen when it showed a few punches on screen. "Is she training in there?" He joked.

"Me? I think I should be scared then."

"You should." Added Eca, she was settling back and just watched from the sidelines and the monitor. She was just happy to seem them happy together. The doctor let them have their fun a bit longer before ending their session. There was many more expecting mothers on his list. Once they were back outside, Concept returned to it's formless state and caused Mina's stomach to growl loudly.

"That was fun, but it sounds like now would be a good time to get some dinner." Said Eca, pointing to Mina's stomach.

"Better just grab something at the local inn, it's late as it is already." Added Eric.

Eric shrugged his shoulders. "Time can only tell, Mina. Kid's full of surprises, I say what I'd think, but it would just jinx you." He explained, there was so much her child was capable of doing that he'd probably have to make a list by the time Mina rolled around to next month in her pregnancy.

Playing along, Eca began to walk backwards in front of Mina and wiggled her fingers in front of her belly mischievously. "It knowssss." She said in an ghoulish tone and a giggle.

Eric smacked his forehead and sighed at their antics. "What am I going to do with you two?" He said to the two females. He couldn't help but smile along either.

It took awhile to find a place to sit in the inn's diner. Prices were rather expensive, but that's what happens when nearly 70% of the town's population was pregnant. Didn't people ever heard of the word self control around here?

"Man, the service is slow..." Complained Eca.

"It's not the slow service, it's how it's done, didn't you notice they asked Mina for how far long she was? They prioritize women who were pregnant the longest." Groaned Eric.

"Well, lets just stay calm Mina." He said patting her on the shoulders. No need ne get grumpy, especially when one has a sword or two on hand. Her child was just as grumpy as her mother. It took awhile, but the hired help did come in the form of a waitress.

"Even the waitresses come in mom size..." Thought Eric, good grief, was there anyone here NOT pregnant? Either way, he made his order, along with the others. Eca mumbled hers as her face was plastered on the table, but the waitress got it alright.

After taking everyone's order, she left to go tell the chefs about the order.

Eca chose to simply point her hand to the ceiling. "Oh don't mind me, I'm only starving here. I'd die if you weren't pregnant, Mina." She mumbled into the table.

Eric turned his attention to Mina. She had a valid point there. "Wow, perhaps there is a good reason to stay here. Can't really pick you out and it sounds to me like everything gets better the more pregnant you are." He replied to her.


Despite the fact that it took so long to get a meal ordered, the meal came back quite fast. The waitress returned with their food, the third plate rested on her stomach with an extreme balance. "And here you all go, sorry for the inconvenience." She gently lifted Eca's head so she could slide the girl's plate to her and gently gave her a pat on the head as well.

"Wow, this all looks so good. Thank you..." Complimented Eric to the Waitress. "If you don't mind me asking, how far along are you?"

"I'm thirty months along with twins. I'm a Quatrion." She answered with a smile. "And I don't mind you asking, the natives ask quite often since I haven't had my child yet, but believe me, it's natural for us."

And that was when Eric was not only relieved that he wasn't from Quatauor, but that he also wasn't a women. He could never see him doing something like that at all.
