#ccsemberclub

"It's a nightmare, I mean, I get the job just in time for this to happen" The Kinian sips her drink with CC. She's no troll kinian. No, satyr blooded and ripe and lush to draw the eye, "I pitty. I rather enjoyed working the young guys at the school up."

"I know I know, so tell me about them," CC says with a sip

"Well, you were right, there are a lot more than trolls in the area. They even have a kinian of sidhe blood working at the lodge now, or so I suspect."

"Oh?" CC smiles

"Adam, and he is such a flirt. Almost a match for his satyr buddy Zane" The young woman purses her lips.

"Putty in your hands?" CC asks

"Oh, they might be" she smiles

"Well, keep me posted, Charis, you know how I love our gossip" CC says

"You have to go?" Charis sighs

"Kind of have to, the Club could get closed soon" The older woman runs a nail down the younger woman's ear lobe and neck , "But don't worry, I'll teach you more...play with you, later."

Charis shivers "Yes, I'd love that."

"So do I" CC whispers in her ear and slips away.

(End Scene)

"This is revenge for my mouthing off about cooking, isn't it?" June Maude says sourly.

"God, June, the man's just trying to help." April huffs.

May Maude sighs "I would kill for a strong drink right now."

It falls on Emerson to explain why a private villa for the three of them might be better right now than even the farm.

"Our Due date is the 28th," June says "Id really... like to have my kids born in Iowa."

"The villa is an idea, only. I will admit, your Farmhold is quite safe." A frown. "My concern is selfish."

"Look, that's just one thing on the table. What about having the kids come out early? Caesarean section... hell, it's even in the name 'Caesar-ean" May Maude says "Cut us open on OUR time and place of choosing. Due date is the 28th but twins and triplets always come early so .."

"I am not having that" June says

Emerson glances at CC.

"We're going to have to close the Club." A gentle murmur. "The staff will be paid."

CC is serving (non alcholic) drinks. They'd made a good impression on June with the visit. CC had buried her in pictures of little Caesar, and yes, Emerson's plan to humanize them to her worked, some.

CC frowns, "Yes, I guess it's going to be forced on us soon anyway, and crowds are so low it's getting miserable but I don't like it"

He stands and paces. "I think our priority must be your family. Will we be welcome at the Farm?" He asks the sisters.

"Pfff" May Maude says "They warned us that you have a bad reputation and to be cautious, Stodgepole. I wouldn't be surprised if they had you and CC both under constant watch while you're there"

"MAY!" June says , clearly this was not supposed to be shared.

"They won't keep you from visiting," April says "i'm sure of that. You're family, that's BIG with us."

CC looks irked for a moment but settles at April's assurance

A slight smile. "Can't imagine who would tell them that about me......"

"Callidora, I needn't go with you." He points out.

"I can" CC mutters very low . She has kept him away from the trolls of RV, but he can see in her eyes she's tempted to ..well.

CC takes a breath, "I think that it's only reasonable that you do."

"If it is -I- limiting your access, then there is no question." Firmly. "However, I hope we can be reasonable, yes."

"I actually agree with CC," May speeaks up "Look, I'm going to be a terrible mom. But you have been acting like a GREAT grandpa and the kids aren't even born yet. You're setting shit up for their COLLEGE already. It's amazing. And if those Seelie Hypocrites really believe in repaying all debts, they'll let you in and then some"

"Coudl yo unot trash your own kin?" June's eyes flash

"The DeBukes are an example to us all." smoothly. "Seelie, or Un."

"They're always like this" April says tiredly "Look, May Maude, our family is not out to destroy us, and some of us would like to stay in contact thanks so please don't burn bridges for us. June... she's not wrong that our family owes Mr. Stodgepole, at least we do. Even you. I don't know how he feels about it, but I'm hoping my kids call him Pop Pop and he ends up loving them."

CC beamms at that. April is now her favorite.

An eyebrow. "An interesting goal. May, do you object to sheltering at the Farm?"

"I'd be a lot more comfortable at some private resolrt with my own set of surgeons and midwives .. the farm will have the elders try to take over..." A pause "But Clem is a damn good midwife" She admits

"June, do you think making a gift of some supplies and materials to the three of you would be unwelcome?"

"I suppose we wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth" June concedes

"I ask, because if there are material things we can supply to make the confinement more palatable, that is an easy enough answer."

"I just want Caesar there" April chimes in.

"Wish granted" A voice says, as Caesar comes in. "Sorry I'm late, ladies."

The boggan crosses to him and offers his hand.

He kisses his mom on the cheek, then gives each of the women a kiss on the lips.

Then takes the hand and shakes it
