Charon and Janet sat at Gobs bar. Charon chugged on a beer and Janet sipped at her cola.
"Should we tell them ?" Janet mentioned quietly to Charon.
"Go" Charon smirked "have some fun with it."
Janet grinned then dramatically put on a sigh "I mean it won't be us two for much long CHARON" she spoke loudly then put her chin in her hands.
"Yes JANET it's a big change."
Gob looked up from the till and frowned at Nova.
"Ask them what's wrong" he whispered to Nova.
"You ask them !" Nova poked at his side.
Charon and Janet were laughing quietly but sombered up when Gob shuffled over.
"Uh... Are you guys okay ?"
"I am" Charon pointed to himself then directed it to Janet "She's not."
Janet sighed loudly again and Nova walked quickly up to her, she held on to her arms and looked deadly serious.
"Hon, what's wrong ? Are you okay ?"
"Yeah I guess" Janet sighed "It's just all so hard to cope with."
Gobs mouth was pressed in a hard line.
"What is ?"
"It makes me sick."
"What does ?!" both Gob and Nova practically shouted.
"Hon, tell us" Nova urged stroking Janet's hand.
"You know the.... The... PAAAAHAHA." Janet laughed loudly unable to stay serious anymore, Charon joined her also previously struggling with the facade.
"Huh ?" Gob looked as confused as he felt.
"Come here Gob." Janet waved him closer and Charon spun around in his chair to face the girls. When Gob was over and close enough to group Janet continued quietly. "Charon and I have some news."
Nova and Gob stared seriously still oblivious to the true meaning of the situation.
"When the Enclave captured me. They put a virus into me....."
"Are you dying ?!?!?"
".... No Gob shhh. Let's try not let the whole bar know. Right the virus was the FEV and it changed my body. It means that I can handle radiation differently......"
"Right but....."
"Nova ! Listen ! One of the things that changed was to do with Charon."
Gob looked up to the other ghoul who simply grinned in return. Janet patted his face trying to regain his attention.
"So what I'm trying to say is that.... I'm pregnant ... And it's Charon's."
Both recipients stood silently dumbfounded.
"Whaat ?" Gob stood dazed.
Then Nova clicked, her mouth twitched and her eyebrows rose.
"OH MY GOD AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
She grabbed Janet and hugged her tightly, squishing her to her chest. She then grabbed Charon and kissed both his cheeks and continued to make girlishly excited noises.
"You're okay with it?" Janet laughed.
"Honey I learnt to accept whatever you two dragged in a looong time ago."
Gob stood still dazed and not entirely understanding.
"What about radiation ?"
"It doesn't seem to be harming her anymore, even dirty water we tried it at the house. It doesn't heal her like us but it doesn't damage her." Charon replied.
"And the baby ?"
That's when Charon shuffled in his seat "We don't know yet. We don't honestly know much"
"Oh."
"Yeah."
Gob walked behind the bar and grabbed a whisky taking a deep slug. He passed it silently to Charon who did the same.
"But it's yours ?"
Charon nodded taking another chug.
"Won't people question that though ? I mean we aren't meant to have kids"
Charon shrugged "I'm use to people talking about us. What will it be ? like a year ? or so from now it will start looking like either of us. So that will work out."
Gob mused silently to himself then smirked.
"Yeah but what one of you Charon will it look like ?"
Bumps (5a/20)
