Toni shrugged. "I've learned to add somewhere between ten minutes and an hour to whatever time a Stark says they're gonna be somewhere. And that's the conservative range."

"I'm not that bad," she defended. "Besides, ten minutes is a record for me. I think."

Toni smiled. "One, yes you are, and two, yes it is."

"How you doing, girl?"

"I'm good. Great actually." A pause. "I'm pregnant."

	From: toni_rhodes	Date: May 15th, 2013 10:27 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"You're joking."

	From: anyastark	Date: May 19th, 2013 08:55 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"I'm not," she said. "No joke. I'm pregnant."

	From: toni_rhodes	Date: May 19th, 2013 09:58 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"...Damn, girl," Toni said. "Congrats!"

Well that was certainly not the reaction she was expecting. Anya had been expecting a reaction with a lot more yelling and mention of not being responsible.

Anya grinned. "Thanks! I'm excited."

"Which reminds me... I owe my dad fifty bucks."

The fact that they had a bet didn't surprise her or bother her. "So what was the bet?"

	From: toni_rhodes	Date: May 19th, 2013 10:22 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"He bet that you'd be pregnant before 25. I bet that you were way to career/make the world a better tomorrow to stop and have kids."

And Toni would probably have ranted at her, maybe a year ago. But they'd both passed that point into being adults, with their own lives. Not quite as much her place to judge. Even if being judgey was a Rhodes thing.

"Given who I am I would have thought he would have said 15 or around there."

"I think he's got a slightly higher opinion of you than that," Toni teased.

"Lord. Another Stark in the world. You and Uncle Tony keep it up, though, and there won't be much left for him or her to change."

"Admit it. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities," she said. She smiled. "I will take that as a compliment, but as for another Stark in the world, well this one will be tempered by the Rogers side."

"Buck'll make a good dad," Toni told her. "You two gonna get married?"

	From: anyastark	Date: May 20th, 2013 09:35 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"He will," Anya agreed. She shrugged. "Dunno. I guess we'll see."

	From: toni_rhodes	Date: May 20th, 2013 09:45 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Toni kept her disapproval to herself; not her choice to make.

"Do you want to?" she asked instead.

	From: anyastark	Date: May 20th, 2013 10:06 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"If he asked I wouldn't say no," she said. "I love him, but I do like some traditions and I'd like him to ask me."

"When have you ever done anything because it was the way it was supposed to be?" Toni teased.

	From: anyastark	Date: May 20th, 2013 10:16 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Once in awhile I like to be normal," Anya said with a grin.

	From: toni_rhodes	Date: May 20th, 2013 10:37 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"I'll alert the media of this startling revelation."

	From: anyastark	Date: May 20th, 2013 10:39 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Anya scowled. "I hate you."

	From: toni_rhodes	Date: May 20th, 2013 10:54 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"You say that, and yet all I hear is 'I love you.'"

She smiled. "Love you too, girl."

	From: anyastark	Date: May 20th, 2013 10:56 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"I love you," Anya laughed. "Would you mind if it's a girl that I name her after you?"

	From: toni_rhodes	Date: May 20th, 2013 11:06 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Well, that caught her a little by surprise.

"I'd be honored."
