<new day>
Aria sat on one of the counter stools as best she could with her stomach, eating some vanilla ice cream, that she had put some pretzels on it. She was not in the best mood. She had been working way too much, and the baby was ready to come out. She figured she had a week, two at most. She had already had one false labor scare.

Drama wandered into the ice cream shop, a pleasant discovery in her exploration of the city. Gazing over the consumers she spotted a familuar blond head sitting at the stools by the counter. Walking over, she slid on to one of the stools beside her, "Aria?"

Aria smiled as she heard her name. "...Hello there Drama...how are you?" She rested her hands on her stomach, massaging it a bit, trying to work out the tension.

"I'm fine," Drama said, ordering two scoops of chocolate and then turning back to Aria. "How are you? That..." She said pointing at Aria's concoction of ice cream and pretzels, "...looks interesting."

Aria smiled. "I'm okay...I should be done with this..." She patted her stomach. "Any day now..." She chuckled at her mention of the ice cream. "Sweet and salty tastes so good to me now...you should try it..."

"I'll uh...take your word for it," Drama said with a quirk of her eyebrow as her ice cream was delivered to her. Taking a bite she savored the taste of it and then smiled at her boss. "I saw you in the front row last night, it's got to be hard for you not to be up on stage with us."

Aria nodded. "Definitely. I wont be for at least another month or two..." She shift a bit as the baby kicked. "mmm.." Her brows furroughed a bit, but she ignored it. "...but you have been doing very well."

"Thank you," Drama said, giving her a sympathetic smile. "I've been enjoying it. I've never had a steady job on the stage...it's nice." She focused back on her ice cream for a minute before looking back over at her boss. "Are you sure there isn't anything I can do around the theater to help you out? I don't mind...especially after everything you've done for me."

Aria smiled and ate some more of her ice cream. "...Not that I can think of...but I appreciate it...I might need a baby sitter." She laughed.

Drama looked at her with widened eyes, then back down at where Aria's hand lay pressed aganist her swollen stomach. "I...uh...I don't think you want me babysitting."

Aria laughed. "...I was kidding, but I doub't you would be bad at it...all women have that place in them I think." She smiled and winced. "Baby isn't making this easy for me today."

"I'm sorry," Drama awkwardly patted Aria on the arm. "Most women maybe...not this woman. I'm not really the kids type," Drama said, looking down at the counter again.

Aria chuckled. "Don't be sorry, Drama...its not your fault, and it doesn't make you any less of a person." She rubbed her stomach. 'I can always find something else for you to do." She laughed.

Drama sat in silence for awhile. Aria had to be one of the nicest women Drama had ever met, Aria had been kind to Drama at a time when few would have even bothered. And now here she was, struggling with the pain of carrying a child, trying to make Drama feel better for her petty shortcomings. Taking another bite of her ice cream she turned and smiled at Aria, reaching over to snag a pretzel and broke it over top of what remained of her ice cream, "In the spirit of being adventurous."

Aria smiled and pat Drama's back motherly. "...trust me. You'll like it more than you think." She leaned back in the chair, running a hand through her golden hair.
