"I didn't know if you'd be here or not," Delphi's voice was soft as she spotted Mylene, going to sit next to her, holding out a snow cone. "Since, you know. You just birthed a whole tiny human. I thought maybe you'd prefer to stay home and rest."

"You flatter me," Delphi protested, but maybe Myles had a point. "I guess I could ask him; but I might die of embarrassment if he says no. I need you to transfer some of that belief you have to me into my soul."

“Well there you go! You just have to ask him out!” Myles smiled widely as if this was some simple solution. “If he likes hanging out with you, it couldn’t be that different, right? I mean you’re gorgeous so that part’s a given. You should go to the drive-in, that would be so cute!”

[backmaskcd]

"Oh - yeah, kind of! He'd record himself going out and doing things, kind of like a day in the life sort of things," Delphi explained. "He had a lot of fans. I liked to help him edit the footage sometimes." She flushed again, but shook her head. "No; I mean, we've hung out a couple times, but I haven't like, asked him on a date or anything."

"What? You're gorgeous!" Myles insisted. "I...don't really know what a vlogger is, is that like the blogging thing where people put their diaries online?" she wondered, still not wrapping her head around that concept. She listened to her talk about Dewey and her smile grew hearing the way Delphi talked. "Oh that sounds so sweet! I can see it in your face, you've got it bad. Have you asked him out?"

[backmaskcd]

"Well... I don't know, I've always sort of just felt that way," Delphi flushed. "Compared to Denny, I'm not really anything exciting or interesting to look at. He um - my twin brother used to be a pretty big vlogger, so he'd get a lot of attention. I just sort of blended into the background - which is fine." Delphi paused for a moment, biting her lip. "Well.... His name is Dewey. He's one of the guys in the band - the ones that all have those cute little ducktales names? He's really funny, and sweet, and he has that floppy hair that makes me weak in the knees."

“Exactly! Except this nonsense about a guy being out of your league, what is that all about?” Mylene asked with raised brows. “You are stunning and absolutely wonderful, no one is out of your league,” she insisted. “Tell me about this guy, I bet he’s just as into you as you are to him,” she grinned, always a sucker for romance.

"And I'm sure you don't want one person to feel like they always have to be available either; but you're lucky with me. All I really do is work and hang out with my brother. I'm maybe flirting with this guy, but... I don't know. He's way out of my league." She flushed at the idea of being an aunt, now bashful. "Thanks, Myles. That's sweet of you."

“Definitely,” Myles smiled softly, then turned back to Delphi. “Any new and happy change is a great shift in focus anyways,” she laughed, her smile widening with her friend’s offer. “Oh yes of course! I’m so relieved we’ve had a couple of offers, just having some options is such a relief since you never know when something might come up, you know? Thank you, I just know Rosie will love her auntie Delphi.”

Delphi followed Myles' gaze, nodding. "Oh, I can only imagine. I know it's not necessarily for everyone, but I really do believe a baby brings more happiness than you even really know what to do with." She used to dream of being a mom before all this, though never dared to voice that though. "I'm sure you guys already have tons of people who are lining up to help you, but I'd love to toss my name in there."

“Exactly!” Myles grinned at her plan being so clear. “I had to be visible enough to make sure I didn’t miss anyone.” She glanced over to where Toni was with the baby in the distance and smiled fondly. “It’s been amazing. Honestly, it’s such a welcome thing to focus on something happy for once, you know?” she added turning back to her friend. “When Andrew died, it was such a weird feeling for me, but I’m so happy I have Rosie to focus on.”

"Well, I heard sun is really good for people," Delphi teased. "You set up in the best spot - now everyone who's looking to congratulate you can see you and exactly, you don't even have to get up!" She paused. "I know it's only been like three days, but how is it so far? Being a mom?"

“Yeah…I really probably shouldn’t but you know me,” Myles laughed with a guilty look on her face. “The fear of missing out is too great. So as a compromise I promised Toni I wouldn’t get off this chair. But thankfully all my favourite people are coming to see me!” she beamed, gesturing to Delphi. “Tell me what’s new? I feel like the last week I’ve been so out of the loop!”
