I loved the interaction between Peter and Ruby when she was getting him to get Elias out of the office so she could tell him about the twins.

*hugs* I'm happy to hear it! I love imagining the close friendship Ruby, Rose, Elias, and Peter have--and I love knowing that Peter has friends like that.

Enjoy your break!

Thank you!

I want the follow-on from when they tell Peter what the babies' names are going to be.

Peter will be stunned absolutely speechless. No question at all about that.

Oh me too! Definitely want to see Peter's reaction. :-)

Really lovely story. It's incredible how you make us care about OCs so much!

But... two weeks? No stories for two whole weeks?? *faints*

Well, yes, but I'm on hiatus now ;)

I remain consistently amazed by how much Ruby and Elias have taken over my imagination.

But... two weeks? No stories for two whole weeks?? *faints*

At least. Life has grown very busy, and I need to make sure to focus what little writing time I have on finishing wildwinterwitch's story. But I'll be back!

This is NOT ACCEPTABLE! I will go into serious withdrawal symptoms here with no Things-verse to sustain me for the next two weeks!

I shall have to read the entire Things-verse again, to help ameliorate the withdrawal agony.

And to make things worse, my Lindt dark chocolate gold bunny is HOLLOW!

Ruby visited with a proper obstetrician on her next day off, budgeting the entire morning so she’d have time for the list of questions Elias-and her mum-had given her.

“Don't forget to ask them...”

“Yes, dear.”

She had a flash of panic during the exam, however, when the doctor’s cheery expression turned to one of concentration, her lips pursed together as she looked at whatever was on the monitor before her.

Monitor? Wuzzuh?

It used radar to offer a view inside the womb, providing-for the first time-a chance for doctors or midwives to see a baby, and its position, before the birth.

Ah ha!

Ruby found it deeply reassuring, knowing from Rose that it was Jackie who had led to the device’s invention, apparently coming up with the idea over Twelfth Night supper one year.

So the BS cover stories are still in place, I see.

“I-I’m sorry?”

“You’re having twins, Mrs. McCoy.”

Ruby felt her jaw drop, just as she fervently wished Elias was there with her.

Elias would be all WOOHOO for a minute until Ruby's glare calmed him down.

Twins ( ... )

XD

In that specific regard, yes. Ruby and Elias are not aware of Rose and Jackie coming over from an alternate universe.

Elias would be all WOOHOO for a minute until Ruby's glare calmed him down.

Awww. *pets Elias*

Some things cross all universal boundaries.

*g*

I'm guessing Ruby will find out for herself as soon as Elias has the answer to his question.

And HOW.

Oh, good gravy.

Elias is a worrier.

He's right here, Ray. He'slooking at me.

BWAH! Ghostbusters FTW!

He's probably spent the entire time chewing Peter's ear off about leaving their desks in case Ruby calls.

Without question. Peter is going to tease the crap out of him when he gets back to the office. Because of course Peter will have called Rose in the interim...

I'm sure the vocabulary being used is rather choice.

Anyone who speaks Scots would be terribly embarrassed by their language.

I take it Ruby's not much of a salads girl?

Not so much.

I hope for Ruby's sake their kids aren't as picky as ( ... )

She ate a light lunch at one of the small stalls selling pasties and sarnies...

The Pieminister is just across from the place that sells the ridiculously cheap French sea salt... XD

(By the way, I highly recommend the savory offerings from Dangerously Delicious Pies over on H St NE.)

He scooted so he was sitting with his legs folded; he’d changed out of his suit, and was instead wearing loose-fitting cotton sweatpants and a long-sleeved faded t-shirt he’d had for as long as she’d known him.

Hi Rab! ;P

“I am. Peter kicked me out of the office.”

Was that before or after he tasted the alleged coffee Elias picked up from some random caff?

She reached for one of the bits of capsicum sitting brightly in a bowl, popping it into her mouth before he shooed her away.

Get 'em used to it early. XD

He then gave her a small smile, before reaching for the carrots and turning to dump them into the pan before him.

And the score is tied at fifteen all.

“Incomparable.”

Awwwwww.

It was a handy side effect, some days-it put suspects off their ( ... )

Hmmm. Will have to see if that’s Metro accessible...

Hi Rab! ;P

BWAH! Only Elias has better hair than Rab does.

It was after Peter ribbed Elias...and most immediately after Peter took a sip of the dreck Elias procured.

Get 'em used to it early. XD

Mmmm. Peppers.

And the score is tied at fifteen all.

He really is a terrible tease.

Awwwwww.

And he’s right ;)

That's cool!

Why should she be miserable all of the time, just because she’s pregnant? Let the woman have a fun time of it, says I. (after all, Rose gets put through the wringer for both of them)

*picturing the two of them arguing over the intro to Star Trek, if it existed in the PW*I think I want ST to exist in PW, just for this idea ( ... )

*Sort* of. You can take the H Street Shuttle to and from Gallery Place. It's either that or the X2.

The dessert pies are also muy bueno, but that's not a direct parallel to Pieminister. Or the West Cornwall Pasty Company, for that matter.

And PWStar Trek got cancelled after its tenth season, when Shatner went off to join a Buddhist Monastery

*hearing a Shatnerian delivery of Buddhist chants*

As Elias grows quite fond of saying.

At least for a few years, until they turn into Ruby's little red-headed terrors. XD
