UNY Dorm Room, Saturday Afternoon

[chasingangela]

It was Angela's 19th birthday, but she didn't have any plans to celebrate, really. She'd let herself have a caramel latte at work --- ooh, rebellion -- and was now flopped on her bed, trying to do some reading for her women's lit final.

Of course, Virginia Woolf wouldn't do her much good if she didn't make it past freshman year, but Angela wasn't letting herself think that far ahead.

[OOC: For meeeeeee, but open to anybody who remembers her birthday.]

There was dead silence on Rory's end of the phone as she kind of just sat and let that sink in.

Then, a very happy, "Seriously?"

[chasingangela]

The fact Rory sounded happy made the twisting in Angela's stomach stop. "Seriously," she said. "We found out about a week and a half ago. I'm still kind of getting used to it."

"Oh my god." Rory was grinning. "I mean, that's...terrifying and stuff. You're due in October?"

[chasingangela]

"Terrifying and strange and did I mention not at all what I planned, really?" Angela said. "But ... it's starting to be okay."

"Technically it's November fifth, or something, but I've been saying Halloween 'cause it's easier to remember."

She paused, putting aside the glee for a moment. "You know, if you need someone to talk to, my mom's kind of an expert."

[chasingangela]

"Oh thank God," Angela said, sounding distinctly relieved. "I so wanted to talk to her but I didn't want to call you and be all, hi, what's your mom's new number? Because. Um. It's still all new and weird."

"And not to be ... you know, more weird? But knowing your mom did it even younger was really good for me to remember."

"And she didn't really have my dad," she added softly. "You've got Marty, right?"

[chasingangela]

"He's being amazing," Angela nodded. "So far, at least. He asked me to marry him, but ... I don't want to do another big huge new thing just because of this."

"Yeah," she said quietly. "I'm totally reversed there, but I get it. I mean, do what feels right."

[chasingangela]

"You're going in order, I'm the one who's doing it backwards," Angela said, just as quietly. "It's all what feels right, I guess."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"That's subjective," she said, shrugging a little. "Do you need anything?"

[chasingangela]

"Not that I can think of," Angela said, touched. "I mean, for the smell of eggs to stop making me want to puke, and for my professors to understand I need to nap instead of doing homework, but nothing you can do. I would let you know, though."

"I'll tell Sookie eggs have to stay off the menu," she said. She was mostly joking.

[chasingangela]

Angela laughed. "They can be on the menu if you don't mind a slightly greenish bridesmaid. Um. Mostly I'm fine if I don't cook or try to eat them?"

[OOC: Really am going to bed now.]

"I should tell you, the temptation to make a fertilization joke is strong," she said, smiling.
