Now that Cordelia was approaching her fifth month of pregnancy, she knew she had to tell the girls soon. She knew some of them already suspected.

Lately, she and Misty had been shopping online for the nursery. They had decided that it was going to be in her room, it was the most logical thing to do. They thought by the time she was older, there would be more space to give her, her own room.

Cordelia and Misty sat in the greenhouse, the usual for any afternoon. Some of the girls thought the two witches were dating, they were closer than ever and spent so much more time with each other than they did with anyone else. Sleeping seemed to be the only time when they were away from each other.

"She's moving." Cordelia grinned as she placed her hands over her stomach.

"Can I?" Misty asked as she moved closer to the older woman.

The Supreme nodded as she took Misty's hand, and placed it over her lower stomach. She smiled even more as she saw Misty smile.

"Wow!" the Cajun gasped as she felt the small flutters against her feet. "It's like she's dancin' to Stevie!"

"She's already so much like her Godmother," Cordelia said softly.

"Godmother? " Misty's brows furrowed.

"Yes. Will you be her Godmother?"

"Me?!" the Cajun asked with wide eyes. "I-I thought y-ya meant Stevie..." she paused for a moment as her wide eyes filled with tears and a smile grew on her lips. "Yes! Yes! A million times yes!"

Cordelia chuckled softly as she smiled even more. "Good, but Stevie was an option."

"She'd be such a good Godmother."

"I know, but she is... old." The older witch said softly. "Plus, she's already my Godmother."

"She is?! Why didn't I know this?" the Cajun asked.

Cordelia chuckled softly as she shrugged. "It never came up?"

"C'mon," Misty chuckled as she pulled her hand away gently when the baby stopped moving. "I talk 'bout Stevie constantly."

"Well, you know now!" Cordelia said with a hopeful smile. "Oh, by the way, she's coming in a few weeks."

"She is?" Misty asked with wide eyes and a large smile.

"Yes. I thought I should tell you, so we don't have a repeat of last time."

The younger witch blushed softly. "Ya're momma shocked me!"

"She was always good with surprises, I'll give her that one." The Supreme said before returning back to her work.

Misty nodded sadly as she sat back down. "Can I ask ya somethin', Delia?"

"I'm a little worried, last time you asked that, you asked if I was pregnant."

"I was right though."

"Exactly." Cordelia chuckled before looking up. "What is it you want to ask?"

"When are ya plannin' on tellin' the girls?"

The older blonde bit her lip softly as her eyes dropped back down. "Soon... I know I need to tell them. It's getting hard to hide the bump."

Misty nodded softly. "I was just curious."

Cordelia nodded. "Should I say it at dinner?"

"Only if ya ready, Delia."

"I think it's more over time than being ready at this point." She sighed. "I know some of the girls know."

Misty just nodded softly. "Do ya wanna to say it in a special way, or just as an announcement?"

"I was going to just announce it. Should I... make it special?"

"Well, I think so, but if ya don't want to, ya don't have to. It's all up to ya, Delia." Misty offered a smile.

Cordelia took a moment to think. "I'm not very good with announcements..."

"Do ya want some help?" the younger witch asked. "I can help."

"How? I mean, how would you go about it?"

"I could talk to Selene about dinner. We could make glazed baby carrots, baby potatoes, mini rolls, and maybe mini cupcakes for dessert." Misty suggested.

Cordelia smiled. "I like that idea. It's cute."

"Yay!" the necromancer said excitedly. "I'm so excited for the girls to find out. We're gonna have a lil' Delia runnin' 'round here!"

The older woman chuckled softly. Sometimes she felt like Misty was more excited for the baby than she was. She was slowly coming to terms with it, not like she had a choice. She was only four months away from giving birth. The thought scared her.

Cordelia glanced down, her smile weakened, and her thoughts ran wild.

"What's wrong, Delia? Did I... did I say somethin' wrong?"

"No." The Supreme said softly. "Not at all." She looked up, meeting the soft and loving gave of blue hues. "I just—I wish I could be as excited and happy as you are."

Misty frowned at the other witch's words. "Delia... I think ya will once she's here. Sometimes it takes seein' the baby to be happy about it."

"I'm just so scared I'll ruin her or... or fuck up."

The Cajun's brows raised and furrowed. Cordelia hardly ever used the 'f word'. "Ya won't 'fuck up', Dee... far from that. I think ya gonna he a wonderful Momma. And ya sure all hell got my help and support. I know ya'll have Zoe's too."

Dee, Cordelia smiled at the nickname. She nodded softly. "I can't thank you enough, Misty. You have no idea how much your support has helped, and will continue to help me with this." 

The younger witch smiled brightly as she took her teacher's hands, squeezing them softly. "Ya don't have to thank me. I'mma always be here for ya and the lil' one. Ya hear me?"

Cordelia nodded, smiling even more than she was before. She squeezed the other woman's hands back before pulling away softly. "Now, where were we with the spell?"
