They're Trying Something New. 

Like some couples may do when they get bored with their lives, Arcturus and Betty decided to have a baby. Well, it was more like I told them they were having a baby and there wasn't much they could do about it. "You might not realize the avenues this will open," I explained to them like this was a business deal. They looked at each and were like, "...We're in."

First order of business was to expand the house. It shouldn't have been, but I got excited. The modifications were quite easy to make. The bathroom had to move out of the way for a new master bedroom in the back of the house. The old bedroom would now be the baby's room.

This house can't fit a baby!

The bathroom turned on a hinge, like a doorway to a new area of the house.

Such beauty. Right?

The roof is jacked. I can only do so much.

It was time for the ritual to begin. Arcturus held Betty's hands for a while, trying to mentally prepare her. "We can do this. We can do it!" Betty seemed unconvinced. She liked babies though. She was really into the idea of a baby.

"I'll go get ready. Come into the bedroom in 5 minutes."

Five minutes later...

"Psst... Hey!... Wake up!"

Betty laid on the bed next to him and read a magazine until he woke up. She was reading for an hour. That's when things got pretty crazy though. They jumped under the covers and had sex in less than 30 seconds. Arcturus. My man.

When they emerged from the covers, Betty was already in her pajamas. It seems like those 30 seconds, for her, were fully dedicated to changing outfits but Arcturus remembered what the point of all this was. Very cool of him. It would be a while until they knew if a baby was cooking inside Betty though.

Arcturus immediately got up to leave, realized he was already home and laid back down to sleep.

"Yeah, Imma sneak outta here now."

"J.K., Imma dream of baby things now."

In the morning, Betty ran to the bathroom. Arcturus chased after her just so he could make faces as she threw up. Morning sickness? Does that happen the morning after you get pregnant? Maybe she has a regular sickness. I'm a real skeptic here.

"Ewww. Come on, Betty!"

Betty went to work. Arcturus sat around the house. He really hasn't vacuumed up ghosts in months. The whole town is backing up with requests too. Ghosts probably run Riverview at this point. Everyone's got a poltergeist.

That night, before bed, Betty did a little spin into her maternity wear and rubbed her stomach. The first sign of a baby. It's happening. The new messiah is to be born.

Is there a bump there? A bump after one day suggests a demon baby, y'know.
