"Hey, uh, Wall.E? Could you get that?" One called as a tone rang from the video console. She was arranging an elaborate bouquet on the coffee table in the middle of their living room, fluttering around to straighten things out. She was in preparation mode and had even coaxed Willow into helping.

Wall.E smiled and nodded, treading across the room to answer it. The screen flickered to life with a video feed of a tall, angular robot in a deep purple cloak.

"Nos-4-a2! How are you?"

"I am well, thank you, but I'm afraid I have bad news. We're not going to be able to make it to the party tonight."

One looked up from her flowers. "Is everything alright?"

"No need to worry, Two's just feeling a bit under the weather."

"That's one way to put it, asshole."

Nos-4-a2 gave a nervous laugh. "Willow is in the room, love."

The short hybrid turned to the screen, realizing she was in the shot. She shuffled to the side and giggled, "I don't mind, Aunt Two!"

One gave her a pointed look and Willow put up her hands in surrender.

"So what happened?"

"Well, despite the fact that Eve ‒ sorry, Two ‒ has been given a doctor's order to take it easy until the baby comes, she insists on working in the garden. She's simply overexerted herself."

"This is yourfault! Admit it, coward!"

"Quinn is taking care of her repairs, but she needs to rest and run diagnostics tonight."

"I'm fine you dick!"

Nos winced and turned around. "Eve, please! Language."

"That's not what you said last night ‒ "

"OKAY!" Nos whipped back toward the screen, a frantic smile on his face. "Terribly sorry to have to cancel at the last second, give everyone the best from us, we'll see you again soon!"

The video feed cut out. Wall.E blinked, shook his head and laughed. "Would it be terrible to say I'm relieved?"

One laughed as well. "I remember being where Two is now. I'd move heaven and Earth for her, but I can hardly stand being around her like this! I was never that bad when I was carrying Willow."

Wall.E made a noise almost like a cough. Willow looked between them before skirting out of the room.

"What does that mean?"

"No, Evah, it's nothing..."

"Wall.E."

"I have nothing but respect for you bringing our child into this world and have vowed to stand by every death threat you made during your pregnancy, including the ones against me."

"Wall.E!"
