This is a PRP for Chance (Melomar) and Dante (Little Fishy). That's about it. There's a plot, so it's likely we'll both bring in more boys and is very unlikely to allow other RPeers. As far as starting, it'll probably be with a phone call at each ones home. :]I lied, it's at the park xD <3

Dante's tail waved as he shifted his weight a bit uncomfortably. He was just... uncomfortable in general. Things had not been going well this week. He'd been sick and practically living in the bathroom and then Anatu had made him go to the doctors to 'make sure everything was okay'. Bah! Like he needed a doctor... You could say he wasn't a fan of the doctor nor the information he received...
Finally he forced himself to sit on the bench. He was currently waiting at the park waiting for Chance. He'd given the other a call and it seemed that what Dante had... 'caught', Chance had too.
He was anxious, felt like crap, and thoroughly annoyed at everything. He slouched and leaned back against the bench, giving a heavy sigh, and draped his arm over his eyes, hoping to clear his mind by at least a little bit. Never mind his foot tapping.

The phone call had come earlier that day. It had gone something like:
"Hello? Ohh... hold on a moment." Dante got to wait as Chance ran to the bathroom again. About five minutes and a great ab workout later, Chance had returned to the phone wiping his mouth.
Then came the request to meet sometime in person. The tone of the wolf's voice had made it apparent that it would not be a fun meeting. They were on very good terms, so it was not going to be That Talk. He did not sound excited or nervous and stammering, so it could not be That Discussion either. In fact, he sounded about as drained as the unicorn.
It couldn't be That...
He had then told Dante that he absolutely could not meet in the morning. It was out of the question. He pictured himself being driven and carrying a bucket around.
What were they going to do?
That was, of course, what they were probably going to discuss.
The unicorn wandered along a path that lead him to where Dante would be sitting. He had a reluctant gait that had no place in such a well-kept park. He also had a comment or two about how radiant he looked, and as he gave his usual reply, a toss of the head and a glowing "thank-you," he strangely wanted to punch the guy. Had he any idea how under the weather he felt? Of course not...
He finally found Dante draped backwards over a bench. He looked both tense and boneless somehow, and his tapping foot made it possible (to Chance at least) that he would actually jump up if Chance startled or annoyed him.
So he stopped a short distance away and cleared his throat. His tail waved slowly behind him as he waited for a response. Then he spoke up. "Mind if I sit?" He paused and after some consideration added, "Or would you rather go for a walk?"

Dante had relaxed a little but then he would accidentally remind himself why he was here and the gears would start cranking again. Giving an annoyed growl he pressed his palms to his eyes, this was horrible!
His ears perked when he heard a voice, drawing him from his current frustration and throwing him in to a whole new agitation. Dropping his hands, he sat up and looked at Chance; He gave a weak smile and stood, without even hearing the options.
Tail swishing, he got the options... "Oh... um..." He looked at the bench, the walk sounding nice, but he knew he'd fidget even if he did, thinking the only way to solve anything was to share the news to Chance. "Well..."
He looked down, "You can sit..." The wolf wasn't sure if he would be able to stand sitting again. Ears flicking back he glanced back at Chance. This was going to be hard...
Dante didn't bother forcing another smile as it was pretty much worthless and he was sure Chance could see that wasn't how he really felt. "So..."
This wasn't working. He gave another frustrated growl and looked away. What half should he start with? There were so many questions--- "I'm pregnant. I haven't been feeling very good and I've been puking for the last week and Anatu made me go to the doctors and the doctor said I'm pregnant... and, considering what happened with the phone call, I think you probably are too."
He watched Chance... Oh no... His ears went back, knowing he shouldn't have just let it pour out. He squirmed lightly in his spot... Craaaaaap ~

Chance sat down when the bench was offered to him, mostly because of how weak he felt. He did not reply for the longest time, so long perhaps that the wolf must be wondering how much of a blow-up was about to come. But the only explosions coming out of his mouth would be in the form of lunch, if it came to that...
The thing was, he was used to following the wind where it took him, so to speak. That was why he had not run from Dante after Day Two, though his habits screamed at him to head for the hills. There had always been something there so he followed it, and he was going to follow this too, wherever it lead him.
He leaned forward with his elbows on his knees and looked out at the rest of the park, feeling a chill pass through him. There was a queasiness welling up in the pit of his stomach that had nothing to do with his illness - and he realized it had been there for a while now. Or, well, I guess it really isn't a sickness after all.
He had never known anyone that was pregnant before. If he knew them he was not around, or if he was around them he really did not know them, that was just how things happened. So this... this was very new. It was also just like everything he had ever heard or read about.
What made him so uneasy was how this was going to change everything. Even if they just tried to go with the flow, it was not going to be that easy... and he really was not sure what Dante intended to do.
Sighing, he leaned back again and glanced up at Dante, who seemed horrified. "Well, I suppose I should go get tested too. I think we both know what the answer will be."

Dante said nothing while Chance was silent, just... stood where he was. It was hard to handle the silence even though he was used to it. He felt he just wanted, needed, Chance to say something. But then again, it wasn't a surprise since the unicorn obviously needed to let it soak in, to completely digest.
It had come as quite a shock to Dante, but... not really. Sighing lightly, his ears went back. He didn't know what he would do, let alone what he should do. Looking down, he felt incredibly uneasy as he chewed on his lip.
He glanced up when Chance spoke, tail waving a little. "Yeah. To make sure..." He didn't know where this conversation should go, let alone where it would. It was obvious there was some serious decisions to be made because of this and those in themselves would be incredibly hard.
In his mind, he knew that... he wouldn't give up the kids. What was Chance going to do? Wouldn't they have to be a bit more in touch now?
"What... do we do now?"

Chance leaned forward again and scratched behind an ear, frowning lightly. "I don't know..." He had kids already... and he did not have a good track record with them. New kids? More kids? Wouldn't he be just as bad with Dante as he was with Morcanth? Granted, different circumstances, but still...
"I just... I'm not a great father at all." That was extremely difficult to say. He normally tried not to think about it. He had never chosen to have kids before and so felt a sort of detachment from it all. Morcanth had been happy to take them in, and since they owned the place together they sort of became 'his' too. There was more to it of course, a lot more, but that was the gist of it.
"I'm never there... I am always on tour at the casinos... overseas... for weeks at a time. That's that's just what I do, how I make money." But... "But I guess that's going to have to change. And I have no idea how to do that."
He looked up at Dante, nibbling on his lip a little. Inwardly he sighed before rising to his feet and taking the handful of steps to face the wolf. Without a word he pulled him into a hug and just held him.

Dante's tail waved as he looked to the side. He would like to keep Chance pinned down with him, but... that wouldn't be right. He wanted to say that things are always open to change, but he had no place. He had little confidence in himself on if he could raise kids and he didn't know if that would change or not. What if it didn't just come naturally like people said? The wolf hadn't really thought about the extra things besides what Chance would think.
There were things he wanted to say, things he wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask anything of Chance not--- His ears perked feeling arms around him... He hadn't heard him get up!
((-insert another mind flail- 8D <3 ))
Ears going back comfortably, the wolf sort of... just melted into the others arms, relaxing as he gave a sigh. They would figure it out right?
Finally he wrapped his arms around Chance, returning the hug.

When Dante returned the hug, Chance found himself smiling. They were both scared and confused and it would be all right eventually if they worked at this. Of that he was certain. At least for now. Nuzzling into Dante's hair he murmured, "We'll work it out." More than an answer to Dante's question, he meant it to calm him a little. Because they would... right? They'd figure it all out.

Dante rested his cheek to Chance's shoulder, nuzzling a little into the others neck... Yeah... they'd be fine. Where was one to start when you aren't and weren't expecting to be expecting? He gave a small sigh, ears going back lightly, though he was comforted to a great extent by just being in Chance's arms.
"I... know you travel... I'd hate for you to have to give it up..."

Chance clung to Dante, squeezing his eyes shut for a few moments, then pulled the wolf back toward the bench. "I don't know... maybe I could... take you with me..." He chuckled a little, thinking that was probably impossible. Who would want to be the "gambler's wife?" The tag along who either sat at "home" in their hotel with the kids, or wandered the city, or... well, maybe... It could actually be a lot of fun... like a permanent vacation or something...

Dante looked up only lightly when he was pulled back to the bench, going willingly. His ears perked at the mention of him going with Chance... "That... could be fun..." He was actually looking at the unicorns neck, his tail waved beside him a little.

Chance pulled them back down to sit and wrapped an arm around Dante's shoulders. His ears perked, a little surprised. "You really think so? Or are you just saying that?"

The wolf glanced at Chance, "It... wouldnt be too bad. Id be open to it as a possibility." Of course it would depend on how many kids there were. Maybe... Chance could teach him how to play cards. He smiled lightly and nuzzled. "It would be fun."

Chance eyed Dante, curious and a little suspicious. Why would he lie? He had plenty of reasons, especially if he wanted Chance to stick around. "You don't have to pretend you'd like it. We could work something out... But... If you really think so, we could make it fun," he nodded. Then he nuzzled the wolf, smiling lightly.
