WARD TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF EDWARD AND JOCELYN
I suppose the news is bound to get out now that my mother is in the loop.
Edward and I are expecting. Twins, actually. It came as quite a shock, but we're happy and ready for what these two hellions will have in store for us.

I know that it's not a good time, but we need to talk.
I heard about Max Wilkes.

WARD TO BETH KETTERIDGE
I just wanted to check on you, dear, and make sure you're alright. I really hope that this doesn't damper our own friendship, but also that you and Moira and Narcissa can work things out, at the very least.

WARD TO SELF
This baby- No, correction, these babies could not have picked a worst time to come. Twins! At a time like this! I'm not unhappy. I'm scared for them. I can't stay in this bubble forever. These children are being born into a war. I can only hope that by the time they are here, this war will be over and we'll have won. I cannot stand this. Max Wilkes was only 21 years old. 4 years ago, I was that age. And now he's dead. I didn't know him well, but he was good friends with Dominic, and that saddens me. I can't even imagine how he feels.
And all this business with Moira and Narcissa and Beth is just giving me a headache. We've all been friends since we were young. We can't all be so petty that the three of them couldn't have talked about this before Beth went to her brothers. I can see why she was offended, naturally, but she can't think that her brothers' behavior has been acceptable. Still. Beth is our friend. I don't even want to get involved with that.

Pregnant?
I can't deny that I'm in complete shock. Eddie and I just got back from the Healer. I think he can tell I'm unhappy. It's not that I don't want a child, but now seems like a very bad time. The Healer said the few times I did miss my potion (last month) I was ovulating. I definitely feel that this is not a good time for a baby for either of us. I just received the Raban Lestrange case and well, I suppose it's time to tell someone. I should owl Mother, I'm sure she'll be over soon enough.
Now, I need to make an appointment with a midwife.I'm frightened

WARD TO EDDIE
Eddie, I'm mildly concerned about your brother.
END WARD
Some of you may have noticed that I've joined the land of the blondes again. It's good to be back.
On a different note, while this holiday from work has been nice, my desk is piled with memos, files, and notes. But since I'm the type of woman who refuses to take work home, I suppose it's my own fault. Though, I suppose "criminals" don't really take holidays.

I'm thinking about going blonde again. I suppose my little period of rebellion is over and I had so many clothes I couldn't wear as a redhead. Perhaps after Moira's wedding. I do like to standout after all. Without upstaging the bride, of course.

Who do you want to invite to your hen party, besides the bridesmaids? And when is your mother's bridal luncheon planned for?

Frankly, I'm just glad to be done with this mandatory sensitivity training. As many can see, people were injured as a result of it and I doubt that was the purpose of the Ministry.

WARD TO MOIRA'S BRIDESMAIDS, MINUS MOIRA
Hello ladies,
I wanted to touch base about Moira's hen night. I have talked to her regarding her preferences and she seems to prefer a rowdy night, and since I figure Eddie will be planning something similar for Jamie, I don't think she'll feel bad. And I want to use this as sort of a forum to get the planning underway so I can start booking things that need to be booked. Also, I volunteer my place as a possible location, unless anyone prefers somewhere else, such as a hotel?
Now, number one on the list. Strippers. Thoughts?
END WARD
WARD TO JAMIE GIBBON
Hello brother. Are you behaving yourself? I'm just checking up on you because I haven't seen you in a while and we should grab lunch, if you have some time?

Well, Greek food has never been my favorite, but someone did bring hummus. I'm not quite sure why they thought that was Greek food, but I did eat some of it. It was sort of greasy. I didn't know greasy hummus existed until now.

So, is your mother still planning your bachelorette party?

Maybe I've been working too hard, but I can't even remember the last time I had a proper massage. That will definitely be necessary, and especially with Moira's wedding coming up. Moira, you may need it more than anybody. Two months before my wedding, I was a wreck.
[/WARD]
Work was surprisingly dull today. No new cases, all my old ones finished up. Normally, I'd say that would make for a good day, but I suppose I'm feeling restless. It may be why I want to redecorate my house. Or had lunch with my mother. Today's newest nitpick was why my hair must be that ridiculous shade of red, and I had such beautiful blonde hair before I ruined it. Personally, I think red is a much more suitable hair colour for myself. She could at least be thankful for the fact that I didn't go jet black? Or purple.
I imagine how my husband would feel if I suddenly painted our house in a strange orange colour. I'm sure he wouldn't be too thrilled with the idea. Well, it wouldn't be a strange orange colour, definitely a tangerine. Ohbollocks bloody hell well, I think I may have a decorating problem. I constantly want to redecorate my place. I'll start with baby steps, maybe get a painting of some sort, or a statue.

I find New Year's resolutions to be something quite silly. Have you ever even heard of anyone actually going through with any of them? Sure, maybe for the first month, people are inspired to lose that 25 pounds of belly fat they've been carrying around. However, they lose the drive to exercise or crave a cigarette or a glass of bourbon. So in reality, resolutions are something people do to feel better about themselves temporarily and they feel like once they've quit smoking for a month, it's fine to smoke for the next 11 months till next January. It's a psychological thing, really.
