*Damn. He didn't know how much they'd offered.*
"What were you thinkin'? Price-wise?" *he asked. The coffee was cold.* "As for the, er, method, 'fraid that kinda technology don't exist yet."
*His dark eyes studied her, still a little misty but perhaps the more angsty and tragically hot for all that.*
"'less you object."

*She shrugged.*
"I'll take whatever I can get, y'know?" *she said softly. She raised her head a little and looked him in the eye.*
"Make no mistakes--I'm not a whore. I'm not like that. That's not what this is."

*Cry-Baby shook his head.*
"I know. An' I love Brandi. Don't actually want anyone else, but it ain't really up to me."
*He smiled a little solemnly.*
"You look like a nice girl. An' you ain't bad to look at, neither."

*She half-smiled. This wasn't turning out to be as awkward as she imagined. It was still awkward as hell, but it didn't seem to bother her that much.*
"Thanks," *she said.* "I don't really want to drive a wedge between you and your ladylove, though. If both of you aren't on-board one-hundred percent with this, I'm leaving. I don't know anything about love, but I don't want to mess it up for anyone else."

*She was... kinda endearing. Looked like a major square, but she was willing to do this. And Cry-Baby was learning a lot about appearances, lately.*
"No trouble there," *he said.*
Aside from the wedge we drove ourselves, I reckon.
"We've talked about it--decided it's what we gotta do. An' you're just the kinda girl she was hopin' for."
*Chatting her up turned his stomach at the same time it kinda turned him on. She was cute, and there were those images, rising unbidden, into his head. But the lying, and the cause of it all... And the knowledge he'd have to do this at least five times more... That got to him. Still, the stakes were higher than love.*
"Can I get you anythin'?"

"Er...I don't know. Is there a contract I should sign or is it just assumed that we're a man and girl of honour?"

*Cry-Baby would have laughed if he hadn't felt so miserable.*
"Not used to bein' considered honorable," *he said.* "If you want me to sign somethin', I will. But I trust you."

"Well it's not like I'm equipped to deal with an infant," *she said.* "I've no hankering to keep it for myself."
*She smiled kindly at him.*
Poor guy.
"Cheer up. It can't be that bad."

*Cry-Baby did laugh at that.*
"No, I don't guess you'd want it," *he said.* "My kid sister has a couple; they're a trial. She loves 'em, bu I could see wantin' to do other things with your life, first."
*He walked over to stand next to her.*
"Wanna thank you in advance for doin' this," *he said.* "Me an my girl appreciate it. Yeah, it'll get better."
*Though something in the back of his mind suggested it probably wouldn't.*

*She beamed cutely.*
"It's really no big deal, for me," *she said.* "It's great that you guys are committing to this kind of thing, together. Making the best of a bad situation and all. You must really love each other."

Celestine sighed with exasperation at the unconscious man. "Sir? Han Solo?" The angel turned and stared fiercely at his hands, asking himself, "Have I underestimated my own powers? Strange, I had thought that being restrained to the earth would have limited them." He wheeled around. "Sir? Sir?" Throwing up his arms in defeat, the angel got to his knees and began to lightly shake the man's shoulders. ((Once again sorry, life's been real hectic lately.)) Opening his eyes the man laying on the floor looked up in confusion "Who's Han?"

((Sorry we hijacked your thread.))
*Cry-Baby couldn't help but smile at her. And over everything he'd seen and done, he knew he did love Brandi.
No matter what she'd been doing with that angel guy.*
"Yeah. We do," *he said. He glanced at the stairs that led to the bedrooms.* "How you wanna do this? You wanna come back, or...?"

((We could move our stuffs someplace else.))
"Er, is now a good time, for you? I mean, if it's inconvenient, I could come back on another day, but I've been doing some reading and I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating."

*Cry-Baby blinked once.*
"Man. You're kinda hardcore, aren't you?" *he said. He nodded up the stairs.* "Now's good," *he said, ignoring the pit of voles that seemed to be tearing at his guts.
He'd never slept with anyone but Brandi.*
"Um. Yeah. Got a bedroom up this way..."

"A bedroom. That's...kind."
*She wasn't really certain how these kinds of business transactions went, but frankly she hadn't exactly been expecting to be treated like anything more than a whore-chore.*
"Look...I'm certain you're a great guy and all...but I have to ask if maybe it's not too much trouble for you to, um...be...nice? Not that you're not nice, it's just that I'm kind of a virgin--well, completely a virgin, anyhow--and it would be really great if you could do me a favour and, um...be as gentle as you can. I don't know if trauma is really conducive to conception, you know?"
