==Full Text==
Jari knocked on her aunt's door to the tune of shave and a haircut, which didn't exist yet, and waits patiently for a reply.
Mar 18, 2020
Siri's hand was on the door handle when a knock sounded from the other side. Startled, Siri opened the front door, only to reveal her cousin Jari.
"Some timing you have. I was just about to open it!" Siri said with a smile.
Mar 18, 2020
She grins. "Yep, that's me, Miss punctuality." She chuckles as she stuffs her hands into the pockets of her hoody armor. "So what's new cousin? Been a minute since we talked."
Mar 18, 2020
Siri ducked her head shyly and crossed her arms. "I forgot not everyone knows,"
Mar 18, 2020
She cocks her head to the side. "Knows what?"
Mar 18, 2020
Siri shut the door behind her as she stepped completely outside. Not that it was a secret. Her family knew. And all the windows were open. It was hot.
"I'm- I'm pregnant."
Mar 18, 2020
Her eyes widen as she gasps. "Holy shit!" She laughs and grins. "Dude! That's so exciting! Who's the lucky guy?" She asks excitedly.
Mar 18, 2020
Gods, she really hadn't seen Jari in a long time.
Siri sighed a bit, but smiled. "You know Will Verdile, don't you?"
Mar 18, 2020
"Shut up!" She squealed. "Will Verdile?! Aunt Clover's kid?! Siri you minx!" She giggles.
Mar 18, 2020
"Jari," Siri whined, only half-serious. "Listen, we were friend when we were really little in the Bunker and in the Spring, when j came back home, we... reconnected." Siri cringed a bit at how that sounded. "This wasn't part of the plan, but..."
Mar 18, 2020
She giggles. "Siri I honestly don't care who you shack up with or if you get pregnant or not, just so long as you're happy! ...You are happy right?" She cocks her head a little as she asks.
Mar 18, 2020
"Yes," Siri assured with a smile. She took Jari's hands in her own. "I was terrified at first. We were both scared. But you know that I'm not one to back down from a challenge. I'm having a baby, Jari."
Siri squeezed her cousin's hands. "Enough about me. How are you?"
Mar 18, 2020
She giggles, rejoicing with her cousin. "I'm good... Well... Good is an overstatement. With this whole Rhenco deal looming over us it's a bit suboptimal, still working on how to counteract his alchemy but all in due time I suppose. Heard we got a new supplier of weapons armor and the like so I need to check those out and give them my own special modifications, which I'm looking forward to. So otherwise I'm doing kinda neutral I guess."
Mar 19, 2020
Siri groaned. "This whole Rhenco thing makes my head hurt. My dad tried to explain it and I'm still lost. I'm glad you're neutral and not bad, though. That's sommething!"
Mar 19, 2020
She chuckles. "Yep, if we get through this mostly unscathed I'll be happy. But for right now do you want to go do something to celebrate?"
Mar 19, 2020
"Sure!" Siri replied. "Where were you thinking?"
Mar 19, 2020
"How about the ba- well..." She was going to suggest the bar but that wasn't really an option anymore. "We could take a walk around tow- no that's no good either." A walk around town wouldn't work either as they'd booby trapped the place to hel and back again. "Sleep over?"
Mar 19, 2020
Siri laughed st the bar suggestion. Yeah, not the best place at the moment.
But she laughed even more at the final suggestion. "Sleepover? Like when we were kids?"
Mar 19, 2020
She shrugs. "I mean why not. It'll be a good way to catch up. And what's so wrong about living it up like when we were kids."
Mar 19, 2020
"Okay, you're right. It could be fun. But it'll be all your fault when I wake up feeling miserable because I didn't get enough sleep. Deal?" Siri questioned.
Mar 19, 2020
She giggles. "Deal." She shakes her hand. "Also you can't not get enough sleep if you sleep in super late." She says tapping her temple. "Plus you have a legit excuse." She gently pokes her belly.
Mar 19, 2020
Siri playfully pushed Jari's hands away. "Okay, fine. But this little one is the reason I need more sleep than usual."
Mar 19, 2020
She giggles. "Alright you go get set up and I'll go get my blankey and some snacks mk?"
Mar 19, 2020
Siri held up a hand to slow her cousin. "Well, hang on. I was leaving, remember? I'm going to go see Will for a bit. You can come back here whenever you're ready, Mom and Kat are in there," Siri nodded towards her house. "But I don't know exactly when I'll be back. Also, expect Katryn to join us for a little bit later. She's gotten very used to hanging out with me at night since I came back home."
Mar 19, 2020
Jari pouts a little bit but then grins as she says she's going to go see Will. "You're just insatiable aren't you?" She giggles as she teases Siri. "Fine I'll stop back in a bit. Of course I don't mind the little munchkin hanging out with us. We'll make it a girls night."
Mar 19, 2020
Siri rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "Well, sorry that I want to go see the father of my child." She said, feigning her apology.
"I'll see you soon, okay?"
Mar 19, 2020
She smiled and nodded. "Sure see you in a bit." She says before heading off.
