The Big Announcement.

[very_anti_virus]

There aren't many days when he feels this nervous. In fact, he can probably count on one hand the number of times he'd felt every part of his innards knot and clench.

Fatherhood made him happy. Telling everyone else about it made the words run from his mouth, to have him as speechless as he is now.

Meet them at Dot's Diner, he'd told them, once the message had been given to everyone they wanted to have there.

Well? What are you waiting for? Tell them, he told himself, while waiting for everyone to assemble themselves.

Doing his best to calm himself, he wrapped an arm about AndrAIa's waist, and rested his hand against her belly.

"Everyone? We have something very important we want to share with you..."

Enzo, on the other hand, is out of his seat.

"I'm gonna be a dad?!"

Um. Let's say, unexpected to some.

[nullofscience]

-_- "Enzo..."

Alright, you can't SEE the face, but you know he's trying to make one. It's that parental tone you use on your child to make him rethink that last statement.

Bob just shakes his head and smiles at Matrix and AndrAIa. "Congratulations, you two."

Matrix is giving his copy a ¬¬ face. And having a face to make one with, it's easier to see it.

Hopefully the message of "You're not the father; I am" is getting through.

"Phong told us last second," Matrix begins. "AndrAIa was feeling tired, so we went to see him about it."

Mostly that's true, but to make sure Bob's not ratted out, Phong will be getting a visit very soon to make sure what's shaded over is kept mum.

AndrAIa shoots Enzo her own, vaguely exasperated look before turning her attention back to everyone else.

"We would have told you all earlier, but we wanted to wait for everyone to be here."

[a1enzo]

Enzo sees your looks, and perhaps they will register once he's done freaking out.

"A dad. I'm a dad and I haven't even passed puberty yet..."

[renegade-enzo.livejournal.com]

Y'know, if he were closer, Matrix would have given you a flick to your ear, Enzo.

As it is, he's not, so he'll just glower.

"Thanks Bob, and you can put away any notions about you being the father, Enzo. You're not."

[a1enzo]

"You know what I mean! There's gonna be a baby with my code! That's... really freaky!" Flail!

[notascreensaver]

Dramatic eyeroll. "In case you haven't noticed, our whole family is kind of strange."

[command_dot_com]

"Enzo, as much as it's the same code, it's not you who fathered the baby." Dot says in the 'drop it' tone of voice.

She's about to flick his ear as well, honestly.

"I'm so happy for you two, really."

[renegade-enzo.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness for technicalities.

"Thanks Sis. That means a lot to me."

From happy to grumpy to happy again.

[notascreensaver]

Matrix must be taking lessons from Hex.

AndrAIa nods, smiling happily.

"It means a lot to both of us."

[a1enzo]

Enzo is just going to spaz quietly to himself now.

[renegade-enzo.livejournal.com]

He's really in touch with his emotions. All five of them.

"Our family just keeps getting bigger, doesn't it?"
