#el. interactions

elain's knuckles knocked against her sister's door, one hand resting against the baby carrier strapped to her chest, waiting to hear any movement from feyre on the other side. when the door finally opened, an apologetic smile crossed her lips as she met her eyes. "so should i apologize for forgetting nearly everyone for an entire year, or would you just like to meet your niece?"

she knew she needed to tell robb, and while inviting him out to coffee was probably not the best move for how to tell him, elain wasn't entirely sure how else she should bring it up.. he needed to know, even if he didn't want to be involved, she would understand that, but he should know what was going on. though, as she sat across from him, elain had a hard time actually bringing the words to her lips. "this is a cute cafe. a good pick." okay, sure she was stalling, but could anyone really blame her? "how have you been?"

"if i tell you something, can you promise to one; not tell anyone, and two; not judge me too horribly?" elain said, looking up at her friend for a long moment, afraid to actually put the words out there.. she had only told her sister so far, but god, this was feeling more and more real, she needed her friend to know too. "i'm pregnant, and i barely knew the man when we slept together .."

"oh! senator, wow, thank you for stopping in." elain knew that they often had some higher profile people wandering in to grab a treat or two for themselves, or for their offices, but elain usually wasn't here when it happened. "what can i get you? did you come in for anything specific, or to just look around?"

"you dropped this," elain caught up to her quickly, holding out the phone that had been laying on the floor nearby, hoping that it was the right person. she was the only one elain had seen over there, it had to be.. or this was going to be more of an awkward conversation than her good deed for the day. "it is yours, right?"

"we need to talk, right now." elain was already halfway through her sister's door, having been completely unable to relax since she got the news, since she sat there on her bathroom floor surrounded by ever type of test she could get her hands on. "i.. i'm pregnant and i don't know how to tell the guy i was just trying to do a whole no strings attached one time hook up thing with, ad, what do i do."

"satine," elain was relieved to see a friendly face as she found some solitude out in the gardens, wanting to get away from how crowded it was inside, some musicians were playing far too loud inside and she just needed a break. "what are you doing out here?"
