``the early shift |open|

[broadway]

Raychel followed Angel's eyes over to the clock. "Hmm... You don't think something's wrong... Do you?" She asked hesitantly. She stopped the music with a flick of her wand. Listening intently, she looked for any clue that something was off. Nothing passed through her ears. She exchanged a curious glance with Angel.

"No, I don't think so," said Angel, refilling her goblet with strawberry flavoured water with the spell that allowed it to pour freely from her wand tip. She looked at the clock once more, for no particular reason, perhaps nervousness, or maybe something else. "It is a bit early for a drink, but I usually have that one guy that's there all day who usually shows up by now." Angel added.

Raychel looked back at the clock, then towards the door. She had been inside the Three Broomsticks enough that if you were on the inside, you could hear everything that was going on outside. Now, there was absolute silence. Something in the back of her mind told her to write off the oddity, but another part was wary. Raychel kept her wand near her and continued to sip her drink.

Angel did not see anything particularly unusual about it, the big crowds came in the late afternoon or early in the evening. The morning, though quiet, was actually quite nice. The sun was shining and there was a pleasant, lazy spring breeze. Since it was still somewhat early the air was cold, but not freezing, rather crisp and refreshing. "Well, look at this mess," said Angel, whipping out her wand and then with a few quick spells their snack mess cleaned itself up.

[broadway]

Raychel shifted uncomfortably in her chair. She wasn't used to silence. She managed to produce a cheerful countenance. She placed her wand back in the pockets of her jacket and placed her elbows on the clean countertop. She placed her head in her hands and smiled at Angel. "What shall we do?" she asked curiously. She knew Angie still had to work, but they could at least do something here while she waited for customers.

"Erm, I've really no idea," said Angel. She drained the rest of her glass, knowing that she would have to pay for all of that liquid later. Besides, she already had to pee frequently since Isaiah was right against her bladder. They made her uncomfortable all the time anyways, because their male hormones made her female ones freak out, so she itched all over. She hated being pregnant, but the babies inside of her, she had so much love for them, Isaiah and Morgayne were her entire life now, they were all she had that she knew to be completely and entirely there.

[broadway]

Raychel noticed Angel uncomfortably hopping from one foot to the other. She smiled knowingly. "Which one: Isaiah or Morgayne?" She asked with a laugh. Angel was always taking a beating from her boys, and today was obviously no different. She shooed Angel away to the bathroom. Once she was out of sight, Raychel produced the money for the drinks and placed it on the countertop. Angel was struggling as it were, she didn't need to spend her own money for drinks at the pub.

"Isaiah this time," said Angel, and then was grateful when Raychel practically pushed her in the direction of the bathrooms. She sighed, the toilets were such a long way down, especially with two babies in her uterus. She relieved herself, and then had just as much difficulty standing up as she had sitting down. Angel washed her hands thoroughly and then returned to the chair she had pulled behind the counter beside Raychel with a sigh of relief, as this chair was much easier for her to sit on.

[broadway]

Raychel smiled. "Isaiah's quite the little troublemaker today, isn't he?" She asked with a laugh. Normally, it was a combination of both children that caused Angel constant discomfort. Raychel couldn't imagine having a baby, let alone two, in her body$

[calcetines]

"Oh, he always is," said Angel, conjuring a footstool with her wand and putting her feet up, trying in vain to make the swelling in her ankles. "Though Morgayne gets hiccups, without fail, at least once or twice a day." She had no idea what she was going to do with two boys running around once they got older, but she supposed that if Bradly really was the one...

[broadway]

Raychel smiled. "How is Bradley, if I may ask." She asked with a smile. She was very proud of Angel. She looked up to her. She didn't know Angel when Wolfgang dumped her, but she knew the story. The fact that she carried her twins single-handedly was amazing.

"He's fine, pretty busy now that the Quidditch season has started, I haven't seen him, he's had several away games, so he's abroad." said Angel. She was hungry again. She sighed and dug through her enchanted coin purse and pulled out a can of ravioli, and used her wand to heat it and conjure a fork. She ate straight out of the can, and then vanished it once she had finished.

[broadway]

Raychel nodded. She smiled as Angel at her food. Sometimes her food impulses were rather hysterical. She of course didn't laugh aloud. She tapped her fingers on the counter, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

"What are your plans for the summer?" Angel asked curiously, knowing that Raychel was not living on her own yet, she was not sure if she had a job or not, but she was bound to have spare time. She looked at the nice weather outdoors, and had a sudden craving for a match of Quidditch, she had not played in forever it seemed, it was not exactly an activity pregnant women should pursue.

[broadway]

Raychel shrugged. "I guess it depends. Probably take a full time job at Fortiscue's. Maybe go somewhere with my parents. I think they are working on a project in Berlin. I haven't heard from them in a while..." She replied, her mind wandering. Normally, her parents would write every week with updates. The last time they wrote was... A month ago. 'Is that right?' she thought. She mentally made a note to go up to the owlery in the next few days or so to check for a letter. She wasn't the least bit worried. Her parents usually got caught up in their work. Raychel didn't mind.
