Having to tell Joshua about the fact that he was going to be a father scared Annie almost as much as it scared her that she was going to be a mother. Almost. The idea couldn't get from her head. A mother.. Hannah Parkes, a mother. It was weird, it was scary, it was going to happen. She needed to face it. She had to understand that most people probably were scared out of their minds as well, but it just made her scared at all the possibilities of Joshua's reactions. She hoped it would go over well. She loved him. God, did she love him. She hadn't meant for this to happening, but they were going to be parents, together. Together had been something common about them for a while now, but there were still things that made them feel totally seperate. She had been going through so much since when her father had died, and it was still hard going on everyday. Her regrets for what she could have done to the baby because of her depression made her feel that much more horrible. But she had come to realize, on a night when talking to her parents (because how would they ever be able to talk back). She had spent a night at the graveyard, until the sun was almost up, talking to them. Often waiting in silence, hoping for an answer, or some guidance. She had to move forward. She was going to be a mother, and although she had lost hers, she had still gained valuable information from the way her mother had been. Her mother would live through her, and she would make sure of that. She softly touched her stomach as she walked, thinking of the life growing inside of her. A tear rolled down her cheek as she smiled. She was going to be responsible for the birth of a sweet baby. That was a magic all in its own, and Hannah Parkes, with all her fear and uncertainty, still got to be a part of it.
Annie took a deep breath as she put a hand to the doorknob of her best friend's home. She opened the door, and upon doing so, a grin lit across her face. There was her best friend looking at the two boys that held Annie's heart in their hand in all ways. The boy she had watched grow over the last two years, and the man she had come to love, and also see grow. She stepped in, peering happily at the little cutie she saw. It was a nice scene to walk into, considering the news that she had to tell Joshua. It put her at ease to see the factors she had always seen many times before from Joshua to Jeremy. Joshua was good with her Jeremy, and gave him a love and understanding that he owed to no one else, but that people could so easily see when he was with his younger brother. "Well well. If it isn't my three favoritist people in the world." She often used words that weren't grammatically correct for effect on her affection towards the little tike she loved so dearly. "Where is my big jerbear hug?!" She asked, pretending to be offended, as she half turned and crossed her arms defiantly. She let out a sigh and a laugh and strode over to the three, taking him into her arms and picking him up as she embraced him in a big long hug. It took little effort to lift him, even for being a big boy, and she was grateful for her being a werewolf in that moment, because today she had felt very weak. A few days ago, the worst of the morning sickness had come over her, and she wasn't feeling her best. She was sure she probably looked like absolute death right about now, but she didn't care. Joshua, and Kaleigh had both seen her at her absolute worst, and never said anything. And right now, Kal would understand, knowing the thing that Annie was itching to speak outloud.
She kissed Jeremy and smiled as she held him for another second before putting him back down. She was glad she had, because she felt like she was going to throw up if she didn't sit down soon. "What do you do? Get your whole body stretched in between visits of seeing me?! Look how big you are!" It hadn't been that long since she saw him last, but he did look bigger to her. She guessed it was typical for children of that age to grow at alarming rates. She laughed as she looked between them all. "So what did I miss?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips as thought expecting to already have the answers. Whenever Jeremy was around, he brightened anything she had going on in her head. She never really noticed it, but in some ways, she was the only mother figure that Jeremy had, besides Kaleigh, who could be motherly, but more fun and less strict than any mother Annie had ever known. Kal was like a fun aunt you always wanted to see, but with all the mothering sweet qualities. She often found herself awestruck at her best friend's ability to be so many different things at once, and rock them all perfectly. She walked towards Kal, and sat on the couch next to her, before embracing her in a quick hug and squeeze from an angle. The feeling of sitting relieved her jumping stomach for the time being, but she felt like a bomb - ready to explode at any time. Things that had once made her hungry, now made her sick just by the smell. The feeling of all these changes in her body made her so confused. Usually she had it down how to deal with anything, but a baby who was having weird effects on you that you weren't use to? She needed to confirm her appointment with the doctor that was in four days. But first, she had to tell Joshua about the baby, and then ask and hope he would come with her. She wasn't sure how it was going to go. Aside from books she had read, and movies she had seen - she didn't know all that much about babies or the entire process in a consistent order. She only had a vauge overview of the whole thing.

if you need anything, just say the word [/i][/color] i mean anything, rest assured.[/color][/font] --------------------[/center] [/i] of an opened door, but the tension that had begun to scale had faded into nothingness with the steady incoming scent that she had long been familiar with. Even the soft padding of her walking into the living room had gone unnoticed by the two rambunctious boys (boys, in Kal’s proud opinion, because the carefree laughter emitting from Joshua currently resembled something much younger, much less jaded from an undeserving past) that had taken it upon each other to engage in a wrestling match. She smiled in greeting to her best friend, rolling her eyes lightly as she gestured to the flying bodies flying over each other on her mom’s favorite décor rug: this certainly would have fit the old saying, boys will be boys. Her eyes swept over Annie’s form, resting a half second too long on her midsection than what would be considered a casual observation; there was no denying it, being Annie Parkes’ confidant and best friends for years made her determined, now more than ever, to make sure she was in good health and good spirits. The responsibility was one she was only too willing to adopt, though she knew, judging from Annie’s earlier anxieties over not telling him, the news would not just be hers to shoulder soon enough. And just as it wasn’t her place to inform her of Joshua’s living arrangements lately, it also was out of even consideration to hint at the new arrival of a life, and Kaleigh had kept those secrets justly. Clearing her throat conspicuously, it was hard for her not to laugh at Joshua sitting upright at the sound, hair utterly tousled, before Jeremy pounced on his chest and jumped, to Joshua’s ‘oof!’ and his exclamation of victory. Grumbling about cheaters, Joshua had barely the time to look over before Annie announced her presence, a flood of affection swelling through him at warm, inviting eyes and the care reflected in them. He smiled softly, mouthing ’Missed you[/color] behind Jeremy’s back. The four year old, however, had preferred a much more active greeting, holding his arms open for a hug as one of his two favorite babysitters in the world swung him into her arms, enveloping him and making him clasp his hands around her neck for balance. Both he and his brother had completely missed a certain other werewolf in the room with her eyebrows slightly raised, however, in silent question if she could carry the weight of the growing boy without any trouble. She was thinking for two, now, not just her best friend: there was a little boy or girl in there that would have the most attentive adults to look after him or her. Jeremy didn’t protest when Annie set him down, instead sticking out his tongue in protest as he shook his head back and forth vehemently, the soft, wispy bangs of his hair flopping comically; he insisted in growing it out, for some reason. “Noooo,”[/color] he laughed freely, unaware, like most children, the rapid growth that took place in childhood, “Joshua says I’mma only get bigger, and the lady down the street from my house called me a runt cause I trampled her – her floribundas. I was only tryin’ to get my ball back.”[/color] Wide swirls of blue looked up at her, grinning, as Kaleigh told him to halt on that story for another time. In truth, he was trying to get his ball back – the woman had just failed to understand, apparently, that her floral arrangements were already wilted and ruined to begin with. She returned the hug Annie had given her as she sat down, glad she was letting herself rest. “Not much, ‘sides from babysitting this lil’ troublemaker,”[/color] Kaleigh shrugged, shooting Jeremy a childish face before turning back to her, fleeting back to careful eyes, “You want anything to eat or drink?”[/color] The question was delivered precisely light, offhand, and trivial – but when her green eyes locked onto Annie’s, the tilt of her head also gave way her true care. Joshua – who had still sat, defeated in his earlier match with Jeremy minutes before – also shrugged, smirking his infamous smirk, the one she had known of him since the night they had first met. “Nothing to say here, either, I’m just a lazy bum,”[/color] he offered pleasantly, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes: indeed, there was a new tiredness about them, too, the blue rimmed with dark circles of difficult or no sleep, though not at all marring the rush of adoration clearly expressed in his face. The fact of the matter was that Joshua was neither lazy nor a bum – technically – but that he had been running asking underground for a job, a place, something, anything, to help him make it on his own now that he had been officially kicked out of his home at last by his unrelenting father. The reason, too, sitting comfortably on the couch by Kaleigh: Annie. But what other option was there? To break up with her? To go to some Ivy League school that cared more about test scores than personal achievement, opposite of his girlfriend of two years? There was no option. There was no competition. Annie Parkes was his future, as she was when he was a coldhearted young man, as she remained today, and as she would continue to be as long as she continued to bless him with her presence in his life. Because there was few, very few things, Joshua would be thankful for in his life so far in these short nineteen years. And they all seemed to be in this room.
