"THANK you" Tove says her brows crinkling at the words 'just dip'

Jaymes shrugs

"Jaymes, she should keep walking a bit, but the baby's likely to be up again not too long from now for another feeding. I'm sure you'll here him yelling when he does."

Jaymes says with a confused expression "Can't feed the baby. We're oding it natural.and I don't have the equipment"

Tove sighs "Yes. Well. I won't be too long." resigned

Olgar begins to sputter "What? "

Frank clears his throat. "You can -get- the equipment."

"I understand the DeBukes have something......" straight-faced.

A brow. "Yes, but you will help make sure Tove gets back without tripping on the way. Her balance may still be off for a little bit. And you will learn how to do many of the other things to compensate for the thing you can't do. And yes, Frank, perhaps a call to the DeBukes is in order...."

Olgar snorts "Damn straight, Jaymes what kind of patriarchal..."

Tove and Jaymes actually break out laughing.

"Well, that didn't take long" Tove grins at her husband.

Jaymes chuckles "Nope."

Kerri blinks, then looks at Olgar. "We've been played."

Tove explains "We're already planning on bottling my breast milk, Hearth.. so that those midnight hours, we can take turns. We just wanted to see how long it woudl take you and your husband to roll up your sleeves if Jaymes played the proveribal 'women's work' attitude" A grin on her face "Jaymes was the one who suggested that just because I was breast feeding didn't mean he couldn't let me sleep now and then or whatever"

Frank's beard moves.

Olgar snorts 'har har... yeah.. they got us" He admits

Jaymes says "I WANT to feed my son. He's.. well, he's my son. And Tove needs free time now and then. She's got her career and needs rest to recover and socialize"

"I think you might have to battle Dagmar for feeding rights, Jaymes."

Jaymes looks.. surprised "They're getting along that well?"

"Told you," Tove kisses her husband "She's enthralled"

"Looked like it, when we left."

"Huh" Jaymes grins

Then Jaymes remembers something, "Waht's this about the DeBukes having equipment?"

"It's brilliant, they actually have this device that straps on like a bra and helps men produce milk!" Kerri is clearly very impressed.

Jaymes chokes "You're joking?"

Tove brightens "You're kidding" at the same time

Olgar shakes his head "No no.. it's real.. some genius nocker made it. I mean, there IS a reason men have nipples I guess... and it works"

Kerri grins rather smugly at Olgar.

Olgar chuckles at his wife "You're kind of wondering where that thing was a decade and a half ago huh?"

"And the milk is safe? I mean.. good for the baby?" Tove inquires for more details

"I am not getting pregnant again just to make you try it out."

"I was feeling pretty secure in that" Olgar admits

"It seems to be," she answers Tove. "I mean, men have all the right equipment, as Olgar points out...it's just a matter of hormones."

Tove turns to her husband "you know..."

"No." Jaymes says firmly.

"Jaymes," Tove says "Be openminded."

"No." he repeats a shake of his head "So much no."

Olgar tsks at Jaymes. Jaymes is unoved by the Rover's dissapproval.

Frank's beard moves wider.

Tove huffs

Kerri smirks. "Yeah, it's a pretty hard sell, I guess. Men are wimps." She hip-checks her husband.

Olgar nods "Guess Lactating ain't for the fragile" A grin back

"Bait away, not going to happen" Jaymes says, then takes his wife's hands, "Besides, I think you like my 'hormones' as they are"

Tove rolls her eyes "I'm passably fond" she admits "but you're still being very narrowminded." Then to take the sting off, she tries to rise on her tip toes to kiss him.

And wobbles nearly falling.

Jaymes, right there, catches her "hey, you okay?"

Kerri squeezes Olgar's hand briefly. She remembers the first few days after Sylvi arrived.

"Guess Kerri wasn't wrong when she said I'd need you to help me until my balance comes back" Tove flushes with embarrasment, "All the more reason for me to work out a little i suppose. I'm fine .. really"

Olgar returns the squeeze
