IM log Kincaid - Ivy

[hecalledmeivy]

Kincaid mun: What if Ivy, after the Nickelheads' attempts on her and in the midst of her teenage pathos decides that she needs to hvae a baby right the hell now at sixteen years old.

Ivy mun: Well her mother wasn't that much older

Kincaid mun: Exactly.

Ivy mun: like, 17?

Kincaid mun:It's not emotionally healthy but physically it'd be okay.

Ivy: It would be safer if it were sooner. But after my mother, I'd rather choose the father of my daughter more carefully

Kincaid: *is looking at her like she's nuts*

Ivy: I'll not be unsafe enough to do to my child what Dana did to me. But the sooner the line is established, the better. Just not... blindly.

Kincaid: *is relaly unnerved and worried about her getting pregnant at sixteen. God help the poor boy/man she picks for the father.
Kincaid will filet him if he hurts her.*

Ivy: *mildly* You will filet the man if he hurts me, regardless of the age I become pregnant at

Kincaid: ... Well. Yes.

Ivy: *grins* What... kind of man do you think would be appropriate for me?

Kincaid: ......!
Kincaid: Define, appropriate.

Ivy: *giggles* Right. One that won't make you growl at the mention of his name?

Kincaid: *snorts* That's easy. Me. *thoughtful* Maybe one or two others.

Ivy: *wrinkles her nose, still smiling, mostly* I'm sure that the first choice is rather out of the question, immediately. And those one or two ought to be able to sire a child, not be outside the age range for that, hmm?

Kincaid: *expressionless* Hybrids are most often sterile. And yeah, they would be.

Ivy: I was referring to my recent attempt to suggest said activities that... was misplaced.

Kincaid: Ah. *slight smile* You're still too young. So, yes.

Ivy: *sighs slightly and shakes her head then just goes to hug him, and says quietly* There must be a daughter. My mother was actually encouraged to relax and have that baby, if she was certain in her choice, even at that age. Often, the daughter's come at about fourteen years of age. We're spoiled, nowadays, having children later.

Kincaid: *sighs, hugs her tightly back* I know. That doesn't make it any better. Or any easier. You know what people will say and think when they see you in public, no matter how anonymous we try to stay. And adolescence is already difficult enough...

Ivy: *rests still in his arms* It's the same as it's always been, just life's easier so the symptoms are more noticeable. Also, motherhood's supposed to make one settle down. Mostly.

Kincaid: *mmphs, but relaxes slightly, holding her* Babies aren't settled. They're noisy. Messy. Stressful.

Ivy: *lets out a little giggle* Oh, I know.

Kincaid: Yeah, well. *but smiles slightly*

Ivy: *smiles too* I think it's the idea of having somebody else to focus on, rather than one's own mood fluctuations.

Kincaid: *can't help himself* Someone else needing you all the time and not being able to say how or where or why, someone who can't even communicate back, stinky, messy, crying... *shuts up, aware he's being a dick*

Ivy: *looks up at him, her lip between her teeth* Yes. That's why me being a teenager doesn't affect it when I have duties to attend to, I guess. Nobody else can do it the way I can. And... we all started that way. It's the only way. *rests her head on his chest and adds* I'm not going out to look for somebody tomorrow, though, if that will make it any easier. If something comes up, I'll not pull back, but *narrows her eyes, concentrating inwards* There is no greater urgency right now about it than there's been for years. I won't rush into it.

Kincaid: Good. *and that's all he thinks he can safely say on the matter, just holding her protectively*
Kincaid: *a little wryly* Have you thought about how you're going to go about it? I don't think a clinic is going to let you go in and get yourself inseminated...

Ivy: *blinks* I was kind of considering the old-fashioned way. Possibly allowing my daughter to know her father. If it came to a clinic... *shrugs* that can be arranged, I suppose.

Kincaid: *quietly* You know that the people you're going to attract to have sex with you probably are'nt going to be the kind of people you want around a child. You still look young for your age.

Ivy: *nods seriously, then her lips quirk up very slightly* Then again, I have certain advantages that I fully intend to use before I settle on... somebody. Like their entire life stories, as put down in documents or any other kind of writing. Especially in some cases... I can look into the soul of a man more easily than if I were clairvoyant.
nope, she's not above cheating

Kincaid: *nods reluctantly* True.
