tune

(its all good~ goodnight!)

Jude swallowed, looking up from his plate. "Hm, yeah?" He nodded, reaching for his glass of juice, "Shoot."

"Where do babies come from?" Nyx asked innocently, blinking at Jude with those big blue eyes. He didn't seem to have any idea that this question was a little…inappropriate.

Halfway through taking a sip, Nyx said something Jude was sure he misheard. Where do… what?? His words died in his throat as he failed to swallow in time, choking and coughing on his drink. "Wh– Wha?" He managed between coughs, red-faced and looking at him in disbelief.

Nyx frowned just a little bit, looking at Jude. "Where do babies come from?" he repeated. "And…are you alright?"

"Mm.. yeah. Fine," Jude said hoarsely, nodding a bit as his coughs died down. "But…you're…asking me where babies come from?" He asked, clearing his throat and trying to formulate an understanding of what and how he'd have to explain this.

"Uhm…yes?" Nyx replied, looking a little embarrassed. He ate some more food, watching Jude innocently. "I mean, I assume they aren't grown in a tube like I was."

Jude let out a shaky laugh, shaking his head lightly. "Yeah, no," He said with a faint smile, staring blankly at the table as if it could help him. "Babies…" Jude started, taking in a nervous breath, "…Come from…people."

("Soilent green…is made…from people!")

Nyx looked blankly at Jude. "But…how?" He asked. "Do they just…how do they…" He looked confused. "I don't understand how that works."

("WE GOTTA STOP EM…..wheeze…SOMEHOWW")

Jude sighed, nodding along as the words came to him. "Two people–" He said, clearing his throat and loosely gesturing, "–Get together, and…so…It's like…a girl and a guy, together."

He blinked slowly. "And then a baby materializes?" he asked, eyebrows drawing together in confusion. "I don't understand…"

"Um, not exactly," Jude shook his head, folding his hands on the table and trying to formulate the right sentences. How much does he know? "A baby…materializes when a certain cell from the guy…pairs up with one from the girl."

(okay but Jude having to give Nyx sex ed is honestly really funny tho)

He frowned a little bit. "But…" he cocked his head. "That doesn't make sense." he still looked confused as he looked at Jude.

(ikkk, its great)

Jude took a long breath, baffled that he was really explaining this. "So…they do that by–" He nodded, using his hands to explain, "–Y'know…having sex."

Nyx just looked at him blankly. "I…don't know what that is." he finally admitted slowly, blinking a little bit. He took a bite of food.

Oh boy. Jude took a quick sip of juice and sighed, "So…when people are trying to…make a baby," He lightly cringed, "The guy…puts his…" Jude looked down at his lap intentionally, "Into…the woman's um…vagina?"

Nyx frowned a little bit, eyebrows drawing together. He still looked rather confused. "And that makes a baby? But…" he shook his head a little bit.

"Oh– it takes a while, of course." Jude nodded, taking a cautious bite of his grilled cheese, "–For it to grow…in the womb. About nine months. And then it…is born. It goes out of the womb."

"But…how does it get out of the womb? Babies are like….this big." Nyx gestured. "And I'd assume that a female's…vagina?…wouldn't be that big?"

"Mhm," Jude chewed on his lip for a moment, "–The sperm; the cell…from the guy, travels. It reaches the…egg cell and the…embryo grows in the uterus, which gets big." He cleared his throat, wishing he'd found better words to explain, "And when it's time…it goes back out– of the vagina."

"Right, but how does it get out?" Nyx asked again, looking at Jude and trying to process all of this.

Jude scratched his head. "Uh…it moves out of the uterus," He said slowly, "And the woman and the doctors help…push it out. It's a very painful and…complicated process."

He grimaced, looking at Jude. "But…" he shook his head slightly. "So…yuck." he finally finished, after stammering a little for a moment.

"Yeah, yuck," Jude agreed with a faint laugh, "It's…really weird. But also, cool. I mean– I think it's pretty wild that we can just…make them."

Nyx was grimacing a little bit. "Yeah…but…" His eyebrows pulled together. "Still. I came from a tube. Far less… gruesome."

"Gruesome," Jude laughed, nodding a little as he picked up his steaming cup of coffee. "Anyways, I know I did a shit job of explaining that; probably left some stuff out," He took a sip, his face melting into a dreamy smile, "But is there anything else you wanna ask about…that?"
