Raven stood at one of the stalls examining the bright red tomatoes, they didn't seem to be over ripe but she couldn't be sure. Raven selected four of them, "Grazie," She said to the woman running the stall and wander on, she removed an apple from her bag and bit into it.
"Ciao! Bella! Bella!" One of the men called and waved her over. Raven rolled her eyes at him.
Raven stopped when she saw one of the men yelling at a young girl angrily, she took another bite of her apple and then squinted to look. Then she realized she recognized the girl.
"Payback's a bitch..." She had decided to keep walking and then stopped. "Stupid conscience," she made her way over to Macbeth and the enraged Italian man.

The man had ahold of Macbeth's wrist, yelling a totally incomprehensible stream of invectives and waving a hot roll that she had, admittedly, tried to filch. She'd more-or-less forgotten to eat for the past two days--stress would do that to her--and she'd been spending all her profits on Jo, and, well...it had just looked tempting.
Of course, with her luck, the vendor had noticed. So she was, pointlessly, screaming right back at him in a language that no one else in New York was likely to understand.

Great, now two of them were yelling in languages neither could understand and it was just giving Raven a headache.
"Ehi, cosa stai facendo? Lascia la ragazza da sola! Cosa c'è di sbagliato in te?" Raven screamed as she came up to them immediately. She pried the man's hand from Macbeth's wrist angrily.
"Lei è una bambina! Datele il rotolo cazzo!" She screamed into his face and then started digging around in her skirt. "Meglio ancora, pagherò per questo. C'mon Macbeth," Raven flung the money at him and spit on the floor.
By now it was quite clear that she was pregnant, she definitely had a bump, a distinct roundness to her belly.

Macbeth witnessed this whole display in total bewilderment. "Kshamaa! Mujhey samajh mein nahi aataa," she snapped at the man, who was still glaring at her. Not until he had grabbed the money and stalked away did she realize that her rescuer was That Girl From Tibby's.
"Well, that was...thanks," she offered rather gruffly, thinking, You are a strange and unpredictable person. Then again, she had a visible excuse now. Beth stared at her stomach.

"You're welcome," Raven said and blew her hair out of her face. She rested a hand against the small of her back and cracked her neck.
"This is what happens when you fuck Spot Conlon or anyone, for future reference." Raven said and pointed at her belly.
((HAHA))

Yeah, that and worse, if you don't got a damn good midwife, Macbeth thought, looking away from the bump--it made her feel kind of cold inside. Aloud, all she said was, "Really? I had no idea." Getting rescued didn't dampen her sarcasm much.

"Well good luck," Raven said, "The next Italian guy you steal from will probably chop your hand off." She said.
"Are you really that hungry?" She asked her.

She looked at the roll. She'd almost forgotten about it. Her stomach gave a painful twinge, and she stuffed it in her mouth and shrugged.

"The answer would be yes. Follow me," Raven started walking off through the market, making fast deals with all the vendors.

She followed, shaking her head, but at least had the grace to finish chewing and swallowing before she spoke.
"You realize this don't make us friends or nothing, right? I just owe you one, that's all." She tried to keep her eyes off the growing collection of food.

"Mhm," Raven said and watched as Macbeth's eyes grew bigger and bigger. She made sure Macbeth followed her all the way to the apartment.
Raven climbed up to the third floor, unlocked the door and let Macbeth inside. "Just make yourself comfortable, bathroom's in the back through there." Raven pointed to the far end of the apartment as she headed into the kitchen.

Beth leaned against the doorframe and watched her go, bemused. "There something you want from me? Or have you got thugs waiting in here or something?"

"Nope, I am going to make you a sandwich and then send you home," She said as she sliced a tomato on a wooden cutting board. She looked over at her and used her forearm to wipe the hair from her eyes.
"Spot's at work so it's just me."

Macbeth crossed her arms and just stared at the girl. "I didn't ask for a sandwich. Is this some kinda pregnant mood swing? I said I owe you a favor, which is annoying enough already, and eating your food ain't exactly gonna improve my position."

"Jesus fucking Christ!" Raven exclaimed. "Do you really wanna piss me off with a knife in my hand?" She flashed the knife at her and raised an eyebrow. "You look like you're half fucking starved and you were stealing bread from a three hundred pound Italian man named Tito from Castellamare who I know for a fact works for Big Tony! You're lucky he didn't grab you, throw you in a sack and play dice with your eyes when he was done raping and killing you!" She set the knife down.
"Sit the fuck down, eat the God damn sandwich and then you can go home!"
((LMFAO LOL))
