((Well, I guess not everyone can like it.))
"Well, couldn't-" Jasper cut himself off before he said Autumn. That would not be the smartest thing to bring up. "I guess it was just an honest mistake. I mean, no one got hurt, so it's fine."

[*shudder* Sorry. I just keep hearing people gush about it, and it makes me cringe.]
Chaosti snorted and said, "Though we nearly broke each other's bones. I jumped after her, didn't know she was standing just a few feet down, and barreled into her." Elena snickered a little, and when Chaosti glared at her, she said, "What? It was funny, seeing an eight-year-old argue with you."

((Don't worry. I won't gush. At least not about that... Maybe about the fact that I can't find decent Middleman fanfiction anywhere, but not about Juno.))
Jasper tried to hold back his laugh, but failed. "Yeah, that would be pretty funny. Unless you won the argument... which I doubt considering the way you're reacting. But there are worse things than losing an argument to an eight-year-old." "Like what?" Edward asked because I totally forgot he was in this scene. "I don't know... Getting turned into a trout craving zombie?" ((Middleman reference... I've been watching it way too much.))

[Lol, good. To the no Juno-gushing thing, not to the no luck finding fanfics. Did you read more of TWWGB/DDG ever?]
Elena gave Jasper a look like he had just turned into a trout craving zombie for coming up with that, and said, "Sometimes I worry for our child. I really do. With a double dose of the weird gene, there's no hope for him or her." "So you don't.. know?" Chaosti asked. Elena got what he was asking and shook her head, saying, "No. Sometimes I think I do. Sometimes I feel like there's no question about it, that it absolutely is going to be a girl - and then in the next minute I'm totally convinced it will be a boy. Frankly, I've given up guessing."
[Heh.]

((I got through most of it. I've still got a few chapters to go in DDG, but it's good so far.))
"Well, we'll know soon enough," Jasper said. "One way or another. We can have the doctors tell us or just wait it out. Either way, we'll find out." He smiled at Elena. "Whichever option you want is fine."

[Woot woot! Sarah Rees Brennan is my favorite fic author of all time.]
Elena thinks about this, then says, "I'm not sure. I think it might be nice to know. Y'know, so we can be ready. Know whether to buy pink balloons or blue ones, y'know?" "Yes, because what color balloon to get is what's important here," Chaosti said dryly. Elena stuck her tongue out at him and said, "Just for that, you owe me two baby shower presents."

((Haha, I can tell. You rant about her all the time. What's her book about?))
"No, I think we should make him get the balloons," Jasper said to Elena. "I mean, why should the parents of the kid buy the balloons? So I nominate Chaosti." Edward looked between Jasper and Chaosti, trying not to laugh.

[Damn, I can't find where she actually described it, but I assure you she did so very wittily. In short, it is about demons, pretty boys who fight with swords, intrigue, epic adventure, and reportedly a bit of making out as well! I bring you a quote:
JENNET WILDE: Hey, how was the writing today? SARAH: Awesome. I wrote a new make-out scene! JENNET: Another one? Does anything ever happen in this book besides boys pouncing on girls? SARAH (brightly): Sometimes girls pounce on boys! JENNET: You're not helping yourself. SARAH: Sometimes boys pounce on boys! JENNET: ... SARAH: In this one scene I thought a girl might pounce on a g- JENNET: What about the demons? SARAH (happily): Oh, the demons make out, too. JENNET: I think perhaps it is time for you to leave the flat and meet some nice men. SARAH: Okay! JENNET: ... Don't wear your tinfoil dress.
I'm done now.]
"Yes! Two baby shower presents and the balloons!" "But-" Chaosti started to protest but Elena cut him off with, "Every time you complain or are a general pain in the ass, I will add a present!"

((That's hilarious... And it sounds good. I love books with pretty boys who fight with swords.))
Jasper chuckled softly and shook his head. He put his arm around Elena and kissed the side of her head. "That's a tad bit harsh, don't you think?" he asked her. "Because with the way you two argue he'll be at about 100 presents by the end of the week. Then he might just decide it's not worth it and bail."

Elena narrowed her eyes at Chaosti and said, "Fine. I'll add one tenth of a present each time. That will slow it down a little bit."

((Okay, when I was going prom dress shopping, Jenni made me try on the most hideous tin foil dress... I wanted to kill her. It was like those poofy, ginormous princess dresses made of tin foil. It was horrible. And I'm basically up for any make out scenes, really. There was an amazing lack of make out scenes in Breaking Dawn. There were a few, but not enough. It was sad.))
Jasper looked at Chaosti and shrugged. "I tried, man," he said. "But she can be wicked stubborn sometimes. At least you'll only be at ten presents by the end of the week now."

[Eeew, I hate dresses like that. The one in Brennan's blog, though, is literally made of tin foil. Which makes it kind of awesome. And indeed - Smeyer forgot the most important detail: Was it like fucking a popsicle? xD Best. Line. Ever.]
Chaosti sighed and said, "You're tellin' me." He pointed at Elena and said, "It's this one's fault that I got a tattoo." He paused to look at his wrist, where the tattoo was, and admitted, "Though I do kind of like it, actually."

((Yeah... I wanted to kill Jenni for making me put it on. And my mom encouraged it! I was pissed. Anyway... I do want to know what happened after the stupid fade to black...))
"Weren't you both drunk though?" Jasper said, trying to remember the stories he had been told since he'd been welcomed into their group. "And didn't Logan try to stop you?"

"Yes, but I blame her anyway, for putting the idea in my head," Chaosti said, which earned him a cheerful one-fingered salute from Elena.

"I think I may have to put a ban on the two of you bickering," Jasper commented absently. "The kid's gonna learn the meaning of that gesture pretty fast otherwise."
