IO to Terry and Millicent ONLY

[mc_mike]

Terry, mate, I reckon we may need to rethink holding the baby shower at Caelumdell. Pansy's on bed rest and I'm not wanting to do anything that'll jeopardise her health or the baby's.

That's where you come in, Millicent. Know you were wondering why I'd included you in on this, besides your good looks and sunny smile, that is. You think we can move the shower to your place without Pansy knowing?

Bloody hell. Well, if we can figure a way to have it at Pansy's, I'll be for it, but how're we going to do it without letting her know there's a sodding party coming her way?

Also, I think maybe we should invite Davis. I don't know as there's going to be loads of people showing.

That's where Millicent'll come in. Where the sodding hell is she, anyroad?

Mayhaps we should send out an IO to let everyone know the party's been moved, and then we can get a head count. If it seems small, we might consider inviting Davis, but on the whole, I don't think it's a good idea, mate.

She's probably drawing it out just to annoy you, mate.

Personally, I think it'd be funny to see Davis do some of the things we were planning, but I reckon much of that's to change as well, yeah? I mean, they've no pool where they're living, do they?

Don't let this go to your head, but you've a point there.

You think Davis'll comply? It's already going to cost me both my knacks to convince Millicent to go along and if I'm going to be owing anyone a favour, I'd rather it not be Davis.

No, no pool, but I s'pose I can expand a bath or check into how much those portable swamps cost at Wheezes.

Explain to me what it is you feel you must convince me of and then I will tell you whether your veg will suffice or if it will require something much more precious to you.

Ah, knew that would pique your interest. You want to know, do you? No, all apologies, not going to happen. If I told you now, it'd spoil the surprise and as you know by now, I'm all about surprises.

What about my other question? You reckon we can move the party over to your place? I don't want anything upsetting Pansy and throwing her into labour again and I figure moving her to Caelumdell'd be like to do that.

[millicent-b-.livejournal.com]

Then my answer is no.

Now I must return to tumbling. Pansy is teaching me how to do a back handspring. She is quite limber and nimble for a pregnant woman of her size.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Ha ha ha. You'd've had me if it wasn't so bloody outrageous.

C'mon Millicent. Where else're we to have it? She's on bleeding bed rest, for Christ's sake.

[millicent-b-.livejournal.com]

If she is on bed rest, then she is on the most relaxed case of bed rest I have seen. She is downstairs making lunch right now and earlier today she was practising ballet. Apparently the muscle movement, control, and focus in ballet can help with labour.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

What do you mean she's downstairs? She's supposed to be on bed rest. What the sodding hell are you doing letting her up?

[millicent-b-.livejournal.com]

I am sorry. I must have missed when I was assigned her Keeper.

You are aware she will not break, correct? What if Kevin and I bring her to Boot's home? It is less than an hour's drive and with Kevin at the wheel, it is possible for us to be there in twenty minutes at most.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Did it have to be verbally assigned? You're supposed to be her best mate. Thought you'd've known that goes with the territory.

But she's not supposed to be on her feet and moving around. That's the whole ruddy point of bed rest.

[millicent-b-.livejournal.com]

And throwing her a party she would have move downstairs for is different how?

Do you want her there or not? If not, I have other important tasks regarding your business venture that are in need of my attention.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Alright. Do my nerves and I a favour and take the hour you'll be needing to get over here? Don't bloody rush on our part.

Cheers.

No worries. You know I'm the one amongst us has no ego.

I don't know. I just figure that if Pansy wants her there, I reckon she should be invited. Hell, maybe the short notice means she won't be able to come anyroad.

Ace. Do you want me to send out an IO the location's changed?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Right. And Snape wasn't a greasy git after all.

Pansy doesn't know about the shower and neither does Davis, so there's no saying she'd want Davis there anyroad. Besides, Davis left Pansy to me when she went into labour New Year's Eve because she doesn't do baby stuff and she was too ruddy concerned with making her party. If she couldn't concern herself with her mate when she went into labour, then she's not worth the invite to a shower for a baby. That's my opinion.

Hold on that for a mo, yeah?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_boot_terry/]

All right, so we won't invite Davis. Believe me, I've no need to see her either, but I figured Pansy would want her there.

Yeah, just let me know.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Don't worry about the IO, mate. We'll keep it at Caelumdell. Millicent and Whistler've offered to drive her over.

Anything we're missing then?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_boot_terry/]

All right. Sounds ace.

You've all the equipment, yeah? I think that about covers it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Yeah, I do. I'll see you in a few.
