hope can be such a fickle thing

ive lived my life without it for years and it chooses now of all times to barrel its way back in
but none of that makes it fit in the environment
its only like an ice cube trying to enjoy a summers day

even when im staring at it in front of me i cant seem to conquer the idea that it isnt mine
that im not the one who gets a happy ending its only being borrowed from someone else
another me from another timeline who things progressed more happily for
another me who could look at this and actually feel like shes earned it

i dont know what to do with this feeling
except to know its made a fool of me

[ She includes a photo taken on her desk, some weird black ball covered in candy corn spikes. Is it a Halloween decoration? ]

im going to be a mother after all

and i do appreciate that
but it could be a very dangerous undertaking
it is possible i may need someone to watch the egg
always best to have more multiple options for that

Probably!
And I never babysat or anything, but watching an egg has got to be easier than watching a kid.

but she wont be an egg forever either
im sure watching a larva will be a bit more complicated

A larva?
Is it going to be a bug?

were you expecting a bird or lizard
i mean im a bug too
shes just even more of a bug

Well, you don't look anything like a bug, so I didn't assume you are one.
I just know you're a vampiric alien. No big deal.
Larva are fine, though. I'm sure babysitting one can't be too difficult.

i dont look reptilian or avian either
and before i met a human i would have thought any supposition that i resembled a mammalian species would be pure madness
a planet with billions of bipedal alien mammals is rather a wild idea when you think about it

with human infants theres only one one plane of a given room they can be active on
trying to pry her from the ceiling isnt a maneuver im looking forward to

Good point.
I'll be sure to get you a ladder for Christmas.
Or a jetpack.

maybe just a good pair of shoes and a spatula
just in case shes stubborn

You can have her name engraved on it.

once i determine what that name is at least

How long do you have to decide?

until the time is right
probably a few weeks at least

You don't have to sit on it, do you?

it would take more cushions than i currently own before id even think of sitting on that

Good. It'd probably come at great personal expense.

my posterior would never forgive me!
imagine if it popped
