Pastela's eyes flew open. "Babies? So THAT was what that rubbery looking piece was; dried baby!" She covered her mouth in mock surprise, then grinned and dropped her hand as Porter turned towards her. It didn't take her even a moment's hesitation to kiss him right back, draping her arms over his shoulders and enjoying the buzz that went right through her.

Porter crinkled up his nose in disgust as he pulled back, thinking about the comment Pastela had made before the kiss. "Ew." Just the thought of it was sending chills up his back. He looked in the bowl again, just to be sure, the tea was just starting to steam. He wouldn't put it past... hm, he wasn't sure where this thing was from. "Where did you get this?" Not that it really mattered, he was still having fun.

"Oh for the sake of the Guardians, I was joking!" Pastela sighed and shook her head. "It's all plant matter, at least that's what I was told, and I got it from a Faerie a while ago who specializes in fertility potions." She stepped back from him and placed her hands on her hips, trying to look angry and failing horribly at it since she still couldn't stop grinning. She could see the steam rising from the bowl, and this meant only one thing.
They were going to have a baby!

Alright, so this stuff was the real deal. Porter laughed at Pastela and then looked at the concoction again. "So now we drink it?" Porter asked her, still uncertain about how this thing worked. Hm... they didn't have any cups out here yet. "I'll be back." Porter added as he ran off to the kitchen and came back a few minutes later with two cups.

Carefully, Pastela lifted the bowl from the heating stone and set it to the side to start cooling a little. "Yes, now we drink it." She watched curiously when Porter left, wondering where he was going. Maybe to check on Lannister and Lykoan? When Porter came back, he was holding a couple of her cups, and she smiled widely.
"Perfect!" She lifted the bowl and very slowly poured the brew between the two cups, keeping it a slow trickle to keep as much of the loose leaf out of the cups as well as keeping her spilling to only a few drops. Once both cups were filled, she set the bowl down and handed off a cup to Porter before picking up hers. "Together?"

Porter smiled, accepting the cup. "Together." He agreed as he held the cup to his lips. He waited until Pastela was ready and then gulped the drink down. He wasn't sure how he was supposed to take it, so he took it all at once. It felt hot going down, not burning, just hot. Hmmm, he definitely didn't favor the taste, but it was done and gone and over with. "So now we get to the baby making?" Porter laughed. It was a little different then the night before when passion had lead them, today it had a goal in mind, creating a family. Porter felt a heat rise to his cheeks. Trying for a child wasn't especially romantic, but he felt a similar stirring in his stomach as the night before. "Maybe we should head back to the room now."

Pastela raised the cup and took a long gulp of it, the warm liquid trickling down her throat into her stomach and settling to radiate itself through the rest of her body. As she set down the now empty cup and used the dregs from the bowl to put out the fire, she could feel her body starting to ache for Porter again. Reaching over, she took Porter's hand and nodded. "Yes, lets."
--A week later--
Pastela had been plain exhausted for the last few days. She wasn't sure if it was just a small summer cold, but she was starting to worry a little. It wasn't until she had been up in the middle of the night with the strangest cravings (first a fish, and then mushroom stew, followed by just plain bread) combined with the fact that lately her bladder had reverted to the size of a pebble, that she began to consider the only other option: the potion had worked and maybe she was pregnant.
The sudden fact that she had to stop making their breakfast and walk outside because the small repulsed her confirmed it. "Porter?" She called, still unable to go in because of the 'offending' smell of breakfast.

"I'll be right back Lannis..." Porter told his brother after he heard Pastela's call. The male got up from his knees, and went to walk outside. He peeked into the kitchen as he left, wondering what was going on. "Hey, everything alright with breakfast?" Porter asked as he began stretching out the stiffness that had come with playing on the floor.

When Porter came out, she grimaced, getting a waft of the offending smells... bananas. "Yeah, I'm fine... I just can't stand the smell of bananas right now." She gave him an apologetic smile. "I think I know why too."
With a deep breath, a very happy smile came over her face. "Porter, over the last week I've been inexplicably tired, have had to go to the bathroom almost every thirty minutes or so, had what can only be described as the most interesting and crazy cravings... and now this with the bananas. Porter, I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant." She placed her hand on her stomach, beaming brightly at him.

"Bananas?" Porter tilted his head, thinking this was strange, she usually liked bananas he was sure. When she explained her reasoning, Porter got a half smile. "You're... you reallly think you are?" His smile widened. "It worked?" Porter's wings fluttered behind his back as he reached out for both of Pastela's hands. "Woo hoo!" He shouted as he began jumping up and down youthfully, beginning to twirl around in circles with Pastela.

As the information crossed Porter's face, Pastela could only nod, her own smile now an ear-to-ear grin. "Yes, and yes!" She laughed, tears coming to her eyes, as she held his hands tightly, then eagerly joined him in the display of youthful energy. It didn't take long for her to feel out of breath, and she had to slow herself down as she took deeper lung fulls of air.
"Well, it's about to get a lot more active around here... Do you want to tell Lannister now, or sooner to the arrival?"

"Aww," Porter cooed as he saw the tears of joy coming down Pastela's cheek as they stopped spinning. "Oops sorry." he said sheepishly, realizing that spinning was probably not a good idea for a pregnant pae. He could tell she had wanted this for a long time, and was so happy that he was the guy to finally give that to her.
"Oh Lannister..." He hadn't thought about it with all of this happening so fast. How would Lannister feel about becoming the pint-sized uncle of his new playmates. "Yeah, I guess we better start preparing, huh?" Porter was still thinking about whether or not to tell Lannister. "I guess we should go in and tell him." Porter decided. "Wow... I can't believe it..." he grinned in a stunned manner.
