I'd like to speak to someone with medical experience as soon as possible, please. It's somewhat important in the 'oh god oh god oh god' sense of important.

You need to come back right now. I can't tell you this over the internet.

Tellin' a guy he knocked someone up'll just stress him out, especially if he'll never have to deal with it anyway. Who'd be happy about that? How're you gonna feel when he ain't happy about it or if he's gotta fake like it ain't fucked up? It'll be easier on both of you if you just don't say a word to him 'n wait it out 'till it's gone.

I won't lie by omission. He's going to know what's happened.

How the hell would any guy know another guy got knocked up?

Layer up, wonder if a virus's makin' you gain weight. It ain't a lie. That's all virus meat right there.

I am not going to hide things from him with misdirection.

But yer fine just forcing it on him like this's his fault?

He'll be a better father than me.

What's that gotta do with anything?

That the baby deserves a father who's actually good at this.

It's not even gonna be born. You ain't that far along. These things're what, two, three days?

How do you know that?

We've been on here a long time. I'm not one of the calender making scientists or statisticians or nothin', but after three or four years even I picked up some patterns on how long things're scrambled. You guys oughtta be fine if you just ignore it. That's how my crew gets through the weird shit that happens once in a while.

And if it doesn't turn out that way?

Then you tell him in a week that yer pregnant with the community's kid and it don't seem like it's takin' it back like it usually does these kinda fuck ups. Why make him suffer and deal with it if it'll be gone pretty soon? Man up a little 'n suffer alone for him.

What makes you think it's suffering?

Who'd be happy to hear their boyfriend is knocked up?

He's a good father.

Come to think of it, Blue Lance said he had like five of 'em already... I guess he could adopt yours even if it ain't his.

As far as anyone should be concerned, it's his.

[material_guy]

Community's.

[unknownrival]

Shut it.

[material_guy]

If it even comes out, with his loyalty-to-loyalty complex, he'll adopt it no matter how much he don't want it, so why not call it like it is? It'll just make stuff even more complicated if you throw around lies like that.

The community does not have DNA or genes to pass on.

[material_guy]

And his got no way to mix with yours and make a kid. Every damned one of us guys on this place could play pass the cracker and it wouldn't make a baby.

Why're you figuring it'd take his if it's fuckin' with you? Hell, maybe it took a girl's genes or something, just to really screw shit up...
