You're pregnant by who?!

~30~

~The next day~

Mya drove to the Goetia manor, pulling into the driveway, passing a moving truck on the way. She parked the car and turned it off, before getting out of the car. Octavia walked outside with her backpack, seeming to be beaming with joy when she saw Mya.

“Hey, ready to get going?” Mya greeted.

“Yeah,” Octavia said.

“Okay, cool, let me drop the little guy off, and then we can get going,” Mya said. Octavia nodded and got into the car. “You can hook up your phone to the radio if you want.”

“Okay,” Octavia said, tinkering with the Bluetooth, while Mya was getting Silas’s car seat out of the car, along with his diaper bag. She carried the car seat up the stairs to the front door, meeting Stolas, who was still dressed in his silk red robe that draped off of his slender frame.

“Oh shit, my bad,” Mya apologized, looking away.

“It’s fine. Nothing you haven’t seen before,” Stolas teased. Mya felt her face heating up and looked up at him again, before looking away.

“I just came in to drop him off. We shouldn’t be out too long,” Mya said.

“Oh? Where are you both headed off to?” Stolas said.

“There’s a taxidermy museum that Octavia wanted to go to. They have a little spot inside where you can actually work on a project, so I signed us up for it,” Mya said.

“Oh! That sounds fun,” Stolas said happily, before carefully taking the handle of the car seat from her. “Well, have fun then.”

“We will,” Mya said, handing him the diaper bag. She kissed Silas’s head, then headed out the door. Stolas smiled softly, watching Mya leave, before looking down at Silas, who suckled on his pacifier.

“Well, let us find something fun to do, yes?” Stolas said, carrying his son outside, hearing Mya’s car start, before it pulled out of the driveway. “I think there’s a book I’ve been wanting to show you.” He carefully set the car seat and diaper bag down, before carefully taking Silas out of the car seat, watching him scrunch a little from being picked up. Stolas gushed a little, always getting joy from witnessing the cute newborn scrunch. He kissed his son’s head and carried him down the hall towards the library.

~Meanwhile~

Mya drove down the road, nodding to the music, Octavia chose for the ride.

“Who’s this again?” Mya asked, her voice a little louder, so that Octavia could listen to her over the music.

“DemonDice,” Octavia responded at the same volume.

“Oh, cool. Definitely need to listen to more of their music,” Mya said, continuing to drive. Octavia nodded and turned the volume down a little.

“That way we’re not yelling the whole time,” Octavia said.

“Good idea,” Mya said, chuckling a bit.

“Thank you for inviting me out,” Octavia said.

“Of course,” Mya said. “I figured that you needed some time out of the house. Especially with… everything going on now.”

“Yeah…” Octavia said.

“How are you doing by the way?” Mya asked, keeping her eyes on the road.

“Things could be worse, but things are a little less… violent now,” Octavia said. Mya nodded and continued to drive, pulling into the parking lot of the museum that had a few animals on display outside the entrance.
