"Noooo," Raven said shaking her head, "how would I know him? I don't really pay attention to new guys..." she shrugged.
((Lol!))

Race gave her a surprised look. They were best friends and hustling partners--he knew her expressions pretty darn well. "Rae, are you being cagey? You're never cagey." She told him about her sex life, for God's sake. In detail.

"No....I mean really, how would I know the guy?" She shrugged, "He's Beth's problem now anyways."

"I guess so." He glanced at the bunkroom door and shrugged, then looked at Raven's new book and grinned. "So are you gonna rush home with that?"

"I really want to." She grinned evilly. "I might jump Spot later, I'm just saying."

"I don't need to know!" Race covered his ears dramatically. "Walk you back? Been a while since I've been across the bridge."

"Sure, Race." She smiled at him and looped her arm in his. "Spot won't be home anyways, too early."

"What's Spot doing these days, anyway?" Race asked her as they walked down the stairs and out the door. "Have you heard anything about the lodging house since the two of youse left?" The thought of Freddy running the place made him vaguely nervous, even though it was hardly his problem.

"He's basically running a toy factory." She said with a huge smile. "He loves it and get this! The big seller is slingshots. Completely Spot's idea." Raven waddled along beside him, smiling.
"Sometimes his controlling ways are good for something," she remarked. As they neared the bridge she glanced at him.
"I ain't heard nothing from the lodging house and I don't wanna. If there's any kind of trouble Spot will go running back there..." She sighed heavily. "I let him have Brooklyn before me for a long time. I gotta come first now, me and the baby."

Race laughed out loud at the image of Spot in the toy business. And yet he could clearly see his old friend corrupting children by giving them slingshots. "It does kinda suit him. And you're right, you shouldn't worry about Brooklyn. Though I just know I'm gonna go back for a visit at some point and find the place in chaos." He smiled at the bulge in Rae's belly. "Hopefully, that kid won't even know its way to the docks."
He'd loved being a Brooklyn newsie, for the most part, but it wasn't really something he'd wish on his godchild.

"Never, this kid's gonna go to school and get a real education, not the kind on the streets. I don't want my kid to be looking over its shoulder all the time like we got to." She gave her belly and tender rub.
"Besides, its got a family...a real family. Even if I wanna kill Spot half the time." Raven continued waddling toward home.
"Oh God, I could just image the state the boys are in right now, panicking, running wild. They'll get someone to whip them into shape eventually."

"I'm sure they will," he said lightly, wondering what had ever happened to Sammy. But that was a subject he never intended to bring up with Raven again if he could help it. "Speaking of real families..." He raised an eyebrow at her, wondering if Spot had ever brought up marriage after they resolved the Annabelle fiasco.

"He asked me...I told him we didn't have to," she said to him and then sighed heavily. "I'd just told him I was pregnant. I don't wanna get married just cause we're having a baby. I wanna get married because that's what we both want. I ain't forcing him into it."

He nodded, hoping she wouldn't have to. Spot was sure to come to his senses one of these days, and marry Raven simply because she was Raven.
It was then that he noticed they were halfway across the bridge. He stopped and grinned, leaning over the edge. "Should we? It's been so long..."

She rolled her eyes and then gripped the railing, she glanced at Race and then bit her lip.
"One...two...three..." she took a deep breath and then screamed. "AAAAAAAH!"
