"You have no idea," Darcy laughs, taking another sip of coffee and looking over her shoulder at the couch where the boys are sitting. She can't see them from where she's sat, but she can hear them talking to one another. That's good enough for her. "But, actually, you know how they say 'it takes a village to raise a child'? I literally had a village to help me back in Lawrence, so it wasn't ever that bad. Here might be a challenge," she confesses with a shrug. "I mean, Cindy's here, so that's a huge relief, but I had a whole, like, mom network back there and now I kind of feel like I'm on an island, you know?"
It's something she's already anticipating how much she's going to miss because it's hard work taking care of two little boys all by herself and it's going to be made worse without their friends around to play with, here. So much for playdates with Svetlana's girls, or Jo's. Cindy here made no mention of Aaron, so Darcy assumes that that's not a thing in Cindy's timeline, yet. Or, if it is, Aaron isn't here. That means Darcy is going to have to be completely in charge of keeping the two of them entertained and she has no idea how to do that for elongated periods of time, anymore.
Darcy sighs a little and nods. "Oh, boy, do I know that particular song and dance. Fun fact: I've actually given birth to those little shits twice, thanks to time travel shenanigans, would you believe that?" she asks, almost incredulous even though she absolutely experienced it.
Frowning slightly, Darcy shrugs, snaps off another piece of her cookie. "Twice to Lawrence from home, once outside of Lawrence to a place called The City, briefly...back to Lawrence, and now I'm here. It's actually kind of gross how many times I've done this," she mutters, wrinkling her nose with distaste and popping the piece of cookie in her mouth.
After a moment of chewing and swallowing, she goes on, "I think once the Seal gets ya, you're linked to the multiverse forever because it seems like every time I wind up in a place like this, there are other people from Lawrence there. Or there were if they aren't anymore. We're like magnets for this crap, now."
