Zoe's Office - May 29

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe had calmed down somewhat after the catharsis of her rant from the previous day. For the moment, letting go of some of her anger and worry allowed her focus on the more important tasks at hand: organizing all of her paperwork for the new students, and dealing with the feeling of being about twenty months pregnant.

"You can come out any time you want now," she murmured, rubbing her hand over her belly. "You don't have to make me wait two more months. Your daddy and I won't mind, I promise."

[Open, if you dare. *g*]

"Zoe, boss, pal, incredibly pregnant woman with good aim," Hades said, sweeping into the room without knocking. "It's been too long. Nice rant there yesterday. Wanna bet they got all indignant? Not that I care," he added, examining a random object on her desk, "but you know, it's hard to break out of the business. I like deaths to be on a schedule. If I wanted to be an on-call kind of guy, I'd be the god of, I don't know, medicine or internet role-playing games."

"I bet more than a few of them got indignant at the idea of us interfering with their precious heroism," she said, rolling her eyes. "I'm glad you enjoyed the rant. Sometimes, the PA system must be abused for personal use."

"Really?" he grinned. "I'm holding you to that. So I see the little sprog is making itself known," he waved a hand at her stomach. "When do you do the maternity leave thing?" He'd seen a show about pregnancy. That was pretty much all he'd ever wanted to know about it and then some.

"I'm due at the end of July, so if everything goes the way it should, the school will be all yours then."

Yes, saying that gave Zoe just a wee bit of a foreboding feeling.

"And you'll be out how long?" He liked to get his facts straight.

"Barring any kind of chaos in which my presence is expressly needed, I'm planning on staying out until the fall semester starts."

"Chaos? I think we've had our recommended daily dosage times a million. Don't worry. Relax!" He smiled. "With me in charge, you'll have nothing to worry about."

"I feel reassured already," Zoe replied. Reassured that she was going to have to start figuring out what to lock away before she actually went into labor, that is.

"Great!" He gave two flaming thumbs up. "Well, anyway. I think we've exhausted the conversation," namely, Hades couldn't think of anything else he needed to know, "So I'll go back to my shamble of an office and let you get back to being pregnant."

[bigdamnprincipal]

"All right," she said, smirking. "If you do end up needing anything while I'm on maternity leave, I'll still be in town. Just so you know."

"Then I'll know exactly where to find you." He gave another smile, a little flippant wave and wandered out the door, badly patched robes trailing behind him.
