Kim and Jane: Chapter 5.12 "Ongoing Effects"

Last time with the Diffys, Emmie had a talk with Salem about her origins, which went...as well as it could. Kim and Thad decided that a move was in order, and the Diffys all came to live in Roaring Heights. This time...

Jane: "I'm going to sell so many things here!"
Cashier: "Um...ok. As if this consignment store gets much business, but whatever."

 Yay for birthdays! This time it is Thad and Jane's, and technically Kim's, but I couldn't really get her a cake seeing as she isn't actually aging.

 Woo!

 Sparkles!

 NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 Kim: "Happy birthday, Thad."

 Thad: "Happy birthday to you, too."

 Kim: "Even though I'm not aging?"
Thad: "It's still your birthday. If Jane gets a birthday, you do too."

 Thad: "I really love you, Kim."
Kim: "I love you too."
Thad: "Do you...I mean, would you like to get married? To me?"
Kim: "That...would be amazing, Thad. Yes, I would really like to."

 Kim: "I don't think I can stop grinning."
Thad: "Then don't stop."

 During the night, Kim is woken by a sick feeling.

 Kim: "That's weird. I guess I had too much cake."

 This sickness seems to be going around town...

 Sick Townie: "So you're digging through piles of garbage?
Jane: "And you just vomited in the junkyard. We've all made our choices."

 Kim: "I'm so tired today."

 Kim: "Another nap then."

 Emmie takes it upon herself to get a part-time job at the grocery store.
Emmie: "I'm an independent woman now. It feels good."

 Wendy has been making good strides with her bass tips.

 Kim: "I don't know if I'm exactly right about this, but I think I'm going to be a mother."
Cake: "I'm just gonna be over here...on the floor."

 Kim: "Ready for bed already?"
Thad: "Yeah, I've got a small part on a TV series, and the hours are brutal. How was your day?"

 Kim: "I called in sick to work, and ended up going to the hospital."
Thad: "What happened?!"

 Kim: "It's nothing bad! I went to confirm my own suspicions. Thad, I'm pregnant!"

 Thad: "What? I didn't think it was possible!"
Kim: "I didn't, either. The doctor didn't say anything about my 'condition', so I don't think it was even noticeable. I might be more alive than dead, now."
Thad: "Hmm, you have been feeling more 'solid' over the past few months."
Kim: "And all she said was that I have very low fertility rates, so this pregnancy is a rare occurrence."

 Thad: "I guess we've been trying more than enough for it, heh."
Kim: "It was bound to happen."

Kim: "Are you glad?"
Thad: "Of course I am! This will be our child together."

 Meanwhile, Jane and Wendy are at the local pool for a midnight swim. And for the free booze.

 Jane: "So, did you and Thad ever have, uh, happy fun times? Like, make the woohoo?"
Wendy: "Oh, we tried. It was always weird, though. We couldn't think of each other like that, and it just ended in disaster."

 Jane: "Heh, no one's here so I can totally do this!"
But where did your eyebrows go?

 Wendy: "Fuuuun!"

 Wendy: "Catch me if you can!"

 Jane: "Hey, you put clothes back on."
Wendy: "Didn't want to lose them. And you did, too."
Jane: "It was actually reeeeaaaally cold."

 Jane: "We looked pretty good naked, though. Don't you think?"
Wendy: "Oh definitely yes."

And...yada yada yada.

Next time: Our generation six baby will be born!
