The pregnant woman had been keeping her distance from Pippa since her conversation with Anu, though she had remained close to the house they shared. She did not venture out into unclaimed territory, even to the house in the city, for fear that she would worry Pippa or cause harm to the little ones inside her. Lolita did not know how she was going to be able to tell Pippa that she was pregnant, though she was very much showing. The only way that Pippa might not be certain of Lolita's condition was if they had been avoiding one another, and though this might not be true for Pippa, it was the case for Lolita. Except for when she was out hunting easy game to feed herself and life within her, Lolita had been shut into her room alone, only seeing Pippa briefly or speaking through her door.
Lolita was ashamed that this could have happened, especially now. Of course, she knew how it had happened, and she knew when. It had been the visit she had made to the beach near Cour des Miracles and her encounter with the gray boy, Niro. Eventually, the flamboyant woman knew that she would need to tell him what had happened. Even if she had not thought this could happen, she could not deny that it did not happen alone, and Niro deserved to know... Eventually. Not now. Lolita had far too much going on for her to even consider going to speak to Niro now. The journey was a far one, as well, and despite her usual tendencies, Lolita was being very careful to keep herself healthy and take care of her body and those she carried. They had become important to her.
Heart hammered heavily in her chest as Lolita eased the door to her room open, stepping as quietly as her new heavy body could into the hallway. She stood for a moment in front of Pippa's door, her nerves frayed and mind scrambling. This was not something she wanted to do, but she knew that she must. "Pippa, I... need to talk to you," she said softly, rapping on the door gently, her other hand cradling her stomach.
