So he messages Elizabeth, "hey, new you requests pregnancy test, I can be summoned to your world to bring it back to the plane if needed."

He gets back "Ugggggh yeah okay I can buy one gimme like thirty minutes."

(She's awake but has neglected to leave her bed yet.)

"Apparently the new me needs a pregnancy test," she mumbles to Connor.

Permalink

"Huh. I feel like if she was dating someone she would've mentioned?"

Permalink

"Yeah it seems weird? But presumably we can get a rundown later. One of us should probably buy the thing now, I guess."

Permalink

"Where do they sell them?"

Permalink

"Walmart, probably, pharmacy section."

Permalink

"I can do that."

Permalink

Kiss. "You're very good. Please do."

So he goes to Walmart and gets stuck on account of his inability to read and asks a pharmacy tech for help.

The pharmacy tech can direct him to the correct place!

"Sort of? She's not pregnant but she has a magical demiplane where she's been collecting alternate universe versions of herself and some of them are grownups and one of them wanted it."

Permalink

" - okay."

She puts it in a little bag for him.

Permalink

He takes it home.

Permalink

She has gotten dressed and is making waffles.

She thanks Connor and takes the bag and attempts to summon Hagan to her house.

Permalink

This works! He looks slightly startled but recovers quickly.

Permalink

"Sorry! I didn't actually bring a wand of Sending with me. Which was dumb. Everything okay?"

Permalink

"As far as I know, yeah."

Permalink

Nod. She hands him the bag. "It's this thing in the box. Valentine'll be able to read the instructions to her, I think."

Permalink

"Okay. I'll - let you know if we need anything else, I guess."

Permalink

Nodnod. "Please do." 

And she sends him back.

Permalink

He takes his bag over to the new Imrainai.

Permalink

" - hi. Is this - "

Permalink

"It's a pregnancy test, I think, my world doesn't have them. Uh, if you need help, or people to look after the baby or anything, there's lots of people here who can help -"
