“Ah...” Biddy glanced at Murphey, unsure on how much to reveal at that moment. “Just traveling a bit. I’m thinking of relocating, seemed like a place as good as any.” She nodded. |

“Oh, did our Murphey woo you into coming here?” Claire teased.
“Mam, please.” Murphey flushed. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Biddy laughed, only blushing somewhat. “I don’t know if woo is the word. He’s great company, way too pleasant to pass for an Irish Lad.” She played. |

“He’s just like his da, this one.” Claire smiled, her whole face scrunching as she reached up to pinch at Murphey’s pink cheek.
“Who’s like who?” Came a rough brogue.
Eoghan was a bear of a man, much like his son. He had a strong face, like that of Irish kings, and thick dark locks netted atop his head. Though Murphey shared most of his features with his mother, the more masculine ones could be seen in his father. They had the same squared jaw and the high cheekbones. Where Murphey was clean shaven, Eoghan had a full beard.
“Our Murphey boy is just as good as you.” Claire said before gesturing to Biddy. “Eoghan, this is Connor and Quinn’s girl! She came all the way from Ireland to visit.”
Eoghan looked to Biddy and gave a little dip of his head before extending his hand.
“An awfully strange place to just visit.” He said, though it almost sounded like a tease. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Stranger things have happened.” Biddy shrugged with a chuckle, shaking his hand. |

“Mm, very true. Is dinner done yet, Claire?” Eoghan turned to see that Claire had stepped back over to the stovetop.
“Ay, it is. Everyone sit. Biddy, would you like something to drink? Water? Beer? Wine?” Claire asked as she set to moving the pots to the table where several pot holders sat waiting. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Water, please.” Biddy nodded as she took her seat at the table. |

“What a good girl. Designated driver, hm?” Claire chuckled as she set down the first pot.
Murphey went to help as his mother got the food by getting the water himself.
“Actually, neither of us will be drinking. For a few months at least.” Murphey said. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

”You can drink.” Biddy said with an arched brow. |

“Solidarity.” Murphey shrugged as he set down her water.
Claire shuffled back over with a basket of bread and cocked a brow. Eoghan wore a similarly confused expression. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Then you should drink for two then since I’m eating for two.” Biddy said then. |

Claire’s eyes went wide and she looked between the two of them as she tried to understand, REALLY understand what was being insinuated.
“Biddy...are you pregnant? And Murphey did you...are you...” Claire’s words died on her lips when Murphey gave a little smile and shrug.
“She is. And I am. We’re expecting.” He said simply.
Both Eoghan and Claire stared, but after a minute, Claire let out a giddy little scream and went to set down the bread before going over to Murphey.
“Let me hug your neck! I cannot believe you, Murphey O’Rourke! I didn’t know you even had a girlfriend this whole time!” She said. Before Murphey could correct her, she went over to Biddy’s perch and reached out to fondly cup at her face. “I should have known, you’re glowing!” _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“I’m surprised my gut didn’t give me away.” Biddy couldn’t help but smile and let out a giddy laugh herself, it was going better than she expected. |

“There’s not a gut on yeh yet, hush your mouth.” Claire laughed. She looked to her husband. “Eoghan, say something! Aren’t yeh so excited?”
“This news is...something. Not bad news, but perplexing news nonetheless. Murphey, yeh haven’t said a thing about a girl, nothing about Biddy no less. Are yeh two...together?” Eoghan asked. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Ah..” Biddy made a bit of a face, searching for what to say. “Well, no. We’re friends?” She offered. |
