🫣 “The Great Bubbie Reveal”

A Blog by Debra Evelyn Costello with help from Gary himself via spirit.

This happened last night when I was visiting my proper home spiritside.

There we were. Sage green sofa. Me, radiant and round with two little stowaways kicking like they were auditioning for Riverdance. Gary, beetroot-faced and buried behind a cushion like it was a shield against the inevitable question:  

“Mama, how did the bubbies get in your tummy?”

Eden, our ginger firecracker, was the ringleader. She poked my belly like it was a talking balloon. Simon, ever the wise owl, looked mildly horrified but intrigued. And little Debra—quiet, observant—was already sketching the moment in her mind.

I tried the classic deflection:  

> “Ask your papa, he knows.”

Gary peeked out from behind the cushion, eyes wide, cheeks blazing.  

> “Well… erm… it’s a bit complicated…”

Eden wasn’t having it.  

> “Did you eat them?”  

> “Did Papa put them in with a spoon?”  

> “Did they grow from a kiss?”

Simon rolled his eyes.  

> “It’s science, Eden. Sort of.”

And just like that, our living room turned into a cosmic classroom. We talked about love, whispers to the stars, and how two brave little souls slid down moonbeams into Mama’s belly. It was messy, magical, and full of giggles.

Gary eventually emerged from his cushion fortress, holding Eden’s hand and saying:  

> “They came from love. And a little bit of science. But mostly love.”
