"We could do that now." the Bricklin nodded. "I can go get the stuff from our tent."
Lyle hadn't laid eyes on Ebony for a while, so he was a bit shocked when he looked across the street and saw her at the Cones. "Jeez, I know she was in term, but I had no idea she'd be swellin' out this soon."
"She's having twins, didn't you hear?" A voice cut in from the last space on the right row. No one had seen a lot of Kim Gantz in the past few days; the Daytona Charger had been at Lizzie's, working on something she was quite closed-lipped about, leaving only to go to the diner, or to phone up Darcy's mother, or to go to the next town for knitting supplies. She had been working on a yellow-and-white afghan square at the time.
Lyle was incredulous. "What... I ain't never heard of twins in a Dodge line before, an' her so small-built like them Vipers are."
From across the street, Darcy saw the other 'Birds at the diner and waved to them.

"That would be great," answered Ebony, settling down on her frame.
~~~~~
"Twins, eh?" said Huntress, "She's in fer some rough times. And with 'er health th' way it is, she's gonna have problems."

Lyle looked VERY guilty all of a sudden. "I reckon there'll be a shower for her soon. We should get somethin' for her."
Ondine retrieved her supplies and set them out in Ebony's cone...

"Ah bet thar is," agreed Huntress, "an' yeah, we should get 'er somethin' that'd make 'er feel good 'bout 'erself. She looked a li'l bit tired an' unhappy when Ah saw 'er."
~~~~~
Ebony sat quietly and watched Ondine, hoping that whatever it was would help her.

After setting up the diffuser, Ondine brought out some of her essential oils. She put orange oil in the diffuser and applied some neroli to a gauze pad which she then applied to the areas behind Ebony's sideviews.
"Why don't we go to Villa Francesca?" Lyle suggested. "That's about an hour up the road and there's a mall or two there."

"How long is this going to last me?" asked Ebony.
~~~~~
"That's a good idea," nodded Huntress, "Let's go. An' it'll at least give us a chance ta ourselves."

"It'll be good for a few hours," Ondine said, "And I'll show Slaytor how to put it on for you."
"'Kay, let's go!" Lyle jumped out.
<<<This would be a good opportunity for them to spill some beans where they go, in front of an official Dodge rep who then talks to others at the regional office and then it could snowball from there...>>>

"Good," said Ebony, "At least this won't be a one-shot for me. I'd like to be just a litte active during the day."
~~~~~
Huntress chuckled and followed alongside Lyle.

The change of scenery made Lyle quite frisky as he went onto the Interstate with Huntress. Villa Francesca was a moderate-sized town with at one decent mall, so there was bound to be something that would make an appropriate gift for a young mother-to-be. After a while, the exit to the town showed up on the horizon...
"Neroli is OK for expectant mothers," Ondine explained. "Some others you have to be careful with. I've got an info sheet you two might want to see. Good thing I keep this stuff around." She rummaged inside a side compartment until she found it, and handed it over.

While they were driving on the Interstate, Huntress was thinking about what kind of gift that Ebony would appreciate. She hoped the mall at Villa Franscesca had some good ones to chose from.
~~~~~
"Yeah, good thing," agreed Ebony, taking the info sheet and looking it over.
