She chuckled, "Yes the first one is always the best. You never know what you are going to get." She smiled at the memory of when Paris was a baby. Now she was a bossy little hellion in hells no less. "Yes I am afraid me and my husband are old hands at this. Hes in the MLES office down the hall actually." She told her as she popped a raspberry into her mouth. "What does your husband teach?"

"Muggle studies." Beth said. "The pain of the situation is that because of the Minister's new rules, I can't be near Tony when the time comes and have to Owl him and wait for him like a muggle using a telephone. When things could be so much better for us if they'd simply let us live together during the school term." Beth took a bite of her Lo Mein.

"That is nice Nathan has a slight obsession with muggles as well. He absolutely loves them.." Egypt said with a little laugh. "We even have a telly in our house." She announced. She got somber when Beth explained that her and her husband couldn't be together. If she didn't have Nathan with her she got physically sick, and she would just die if someone told her they couldn't be together. "That is awful!" She cried then grew quiet when she realized she was at work and not in the privacy on her home. "I think you should go see him. He just got back from his honeymoon he maybe in a different mood now. You need to be with your husband right now." She said gently.

Beth looked down at her hands. "It won't do any good and I don't want to cost either of us our jobs."

She reached over and clasped her hand tightly. "I am so sorry sweety." She said with tears almost in her eyes. "If you want I can help you through your pregnancy." She told her, no wife should have to go through her first pregnancy without her husband by her side, but Egypt was willing to be a stand in.

Bethany smiled. "Thanks, I could sure use a friend right now." She admitted.

"Well now you can count me among your friends." She told her. "Have you thought of any names yet?" She asked her.

"Emily Rose, Antonia Nicole and Belle Marie." Beth replied. The Antonia would be after her father." she smiled.

"Those are lovely names." Egypt told her never stopping to think about naming any of her sons after Nathan. He had never asked and he told her to pick Lucas' name as he had named Willow and she had named Paris. "What department are you might I ask?" She asked of her.

"Aurors, you?" Beth smiled. "So Egypt what do you think of this nightmare called Belle's and Cooper's. I've met a few of Tony's students and they have all told me that it's awful."

"I am a judge." she told her as she shifted in the chair. Her back was really starting to her. "It is utter rubbish. My sister is a student there and she said their flying instructor was teaching them to ride side saddle." She told her.

"Sidesaddle? Are you serious? You've got to be joshing me!" Beth nearly spat out her tea. "What utter morons. Tony and I were talking to one of his students before school began and last week I got a letter from him saying that he had somehow gotten word that his cousin Monica who was one of the unfortunate ones last year, had been made to eat transfiguration food and turn into an animal again." She shook her head. "This is utter nonsense!"

Egypt glanced around the break room. "Don't be so loud. We do work for Minister Cooper ofter all." She warned her. She didn't want to get fired over talking about this stuff. "I do believe the children's education is going to leave them a little stunted." She said a little more quietly.

beth clapped her hand over her mouth. "Sorry." She said softly. "I get a bit over-zealous at times."

She giggled, "Oh no its alright. You just have to be careful." She told her wondering how she was an Auror. That seemed to be a very dangerous quality to have when you had to catch and track dark wizards.

"I get this way on a case too, but for some reason when I'm in front of the creeps it's a different story." Beth admitted. "Then I calm down."

She smiled at her,"Well that is certainly good. I don't think I could do that job." She admitted, she just wasn't the sort of person that could hurt another person on purpose. "Does your husband mind you working in such a dangerous place?"

"He hates it, but I'm not the kind of person that can sit on my bottom and do nothing, I get bored and climb the walls." She admitted.

She nodded, understanding what she was saying. "That is true, but there is nothing else you would like to be doing? Or does the thrill of the chase excite you?" She asked.

"Not so much the thrill of the chase, but the assurance of Justice served." Beth smiled. "I just don't have the education to be part of the Wizengamot, so I know I am best chasing down the perps."

She looked at her, "Oh well I didn't start off in the Wizengamot. I was actually a clerk in the Carpet Division of the South African Magical Transportation Department. I just worked hard and moved up in the ranks." She told her. She hated that people thought the judges were like an elite crime fighting unit, or something.

Breakroom... It looked nice enough. Miss Dmitrenko pushed the door open to a place which smelled quite wonderfully of coffee. She got herself a cup and moved to a empty table. She reached into her bag and pulled out Stephen King's latest novel, put her feet up and latched herself into the storyline.

Warren walked into the breakroom feeling slightly dazed. Did I really just pass out in the office? He shook his head and instantly regretted it as his head throbbed painfully. He sat himself down carefully on one of the sofa's and layed down as he tried to piece together what had happened.

ooc: Now I'm really off to bed now..g'nite.
