Hocpoi knows enough about these matters to realise that the normal sequence of pregnancy, baby shower, flight to hospital, birth, and flower bouquets will not do in this case - for Elroy is almost two years old and it would be impossible to hide him inside Nancy's stomach without someone suspecting.
