((Yeah, I was starting to get the feeling that if they both stayed in character this would never work out, lol.))
Bonnie-Marie nodded silently, her face nearly expressionless. She was stunned by what she was hearing, but not as horrified as she thought she should probably be.
"How...how will I get..." She cleared her throat nervously and blushed a deep crimson. "How...will the baby be made? Will I...do something?"

((Sorry. The best laid plans of mice and men...))
Oh.
*The color fled Brandi's face. She never expected...haded Bonnie-Marie been on the 'verse since the beginning? She couldn't possibly be a virgin. Could she? Umm...*
"Well, um...we would...I mean, you and my...well..."
*She centered herself, her eyes shut for a moment.*
"The two of you would need to have sex. When you were at a prime point in your cycle for pregnancy."
*She immediately wavered, growing sympathetic.*
"I'm sorry to put it like that. But...yes, that's how."

((It's no problem, it all works out. ^_^))
Her eyes widened to their full extent and her face seemed to glow it suddenly got so red, but she didn't move at all except her mouth, which fell open the tiniest bit.
"Oh."
She felt lightheaded. How could she possibly do this? She wanted to help this girl, she really did, she wanted to be of use...but could she really have sex with a man she didn't know and then give up her baby? She wished she could take back all of the questions she'd already asked and throw Brandi out and never think about any of this ever again, but she'd passed the point of no return. The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn, she thought badphic-ly.
"Who is he?" she croaked, her throat dry. "When will I meet him?"

*Brandi looked uncomfortable. She didn't want to hurt this girl. She seemed sweet. But she also needed the kids. Still...she took a step closer, her arm outstretched but she didn't dare touch her.*
"Whenever you'd like. If you want to meet somewhere neutral, like a restaurant or something....you can just get to know each other. If you don't want to after that, then you don't have to. You can walk away at any point."
*Her eyes were soft.*
"We want this child, but we don't want to see you hurt. All right?"
*She hazarded a small smile.*
"Just start with dinner and then you can make up your mind."

Bonnie-Marie nodded.
"Alright. Dinner."
She paused and tried to form her words carefully.
"Is he...your husband?"

Umm...Awkward. -er.
*Brandi paused. They'd never really talked about it. It wasn't that important. Not in the grand scheme of things. With everything... She lowered her eyes.*
"Fiance." *She lied.*
*Well, it was kind of like that. She was his girl and he her boy and with the exception of a terribly charming robot, that was pretty much it. So...what was a little white lie?*

She swallowed.
"Ok. I was just wondering, you know, since I'm going to be...I mean...um, does it bother you? I mean, obviously it bothers you. But are you going to be upset that I'm sleeping with--I mean, obviously you're going to be upset. But, are you going to be mad or anything? Well, obviously you should be mad..."

*The touch came as a surprise to Brandi. But there she was, her hand in contact with Connie-Marie's as she shook her head with a small smile.*
"Mademoiselle...I won't be mad. Or upset."
*She swallowed before trying to explain.*
"We've talked about this a lot and it's what we both want. We understand the limitations and requirements."
*She dropped her hand from the girl's.*
"We're all right with it. I promise."
*Her words were soothly and surprisingly truthful. It still made her sad that she could not bear them for him, but after the first they had become easier to bear.*

Bonnie-Marie nodded, honestly comforted by Brandi's words.
"Alright. So I suppose I should meet him as soon as possible..."

"Of course."
*Well, at least she wasn't freaking out as much. It seemed. She glanced to the door.*
"If you'd like, I'll gave him call on you tomorrow."
*Her eyes went soft.*
"Is that enough time?"

She nodded again and rose to lead Brandi to the door.
"Yes, that would be fine," she said. They were standing right beside the doorway now, and Bonnie-Marie had no idea what to say to end this. Goodbye didn't seem right, and Thank you certainly wasn't going to happen.

*Brandi paused for a moment, still sharing in the awkward, but wanting to do something to help.*
"I can't tell you how much I appreciate you hearing me out. Even...if you decide that you can't help us, it means so much that you would share your time with me and try to keep an open mind."
*She smiled gently and ducked out the door and onto the street. She didn't want to have time to mess things up again.*
