• He'd been attending to some day time business around the clubs - toying with them helped him fill up his days, made him feel important - he wasn't quite so in demand now as he had been when he was running drugs, and it almost wounded his pride. He let himself in quietly, expecting her to be taking a nap or doing yoga or something else equally quiet, but was surprised to find her at the bar. He set aside the briefcase he was carrying and the jacket he'd been wearing against the still-chilled spring air. "Hey baby.." He wandered toward her, pressing a kiss to her cheek and a palm to her slowly expanding belly. (NT) -- Fallon, 10:58:08 04/29/05 Fri
• "Hey." She offered a slight smile, she never knew when he was going to be home or anything so she just kinda waited aorund. Talk about feeling put off. She used to be busy every hour of every day and now she was just sitting here, idely twiddling her thumbs as she waited for something to happen. Her eyes drifted aimlessly around the kitchen before she looked up to him. "How was your day?" She questioned softly, tipping her head to the side as she gazed at him. (NT) -- Diamond, 11:02:47 04/29/05 Fri
• He reached up to brush a lock of her dark hair away from her eyes and grinned. "Same as every other day, sweetheart - long and lonesome without you." He loosened the top buttons of his dress shirt - work didn't call for it, but he loved to dress up - he had a million expensive suits and he liked to parade around in them - one of his small guilty pleasures. "What you been up to?" (NT) -- Fallon, 11:31:36 04/29/05 Fri
• She smirked a touch at his sweettalk before she rolled her eyes in response to his question. "I cleaned and then wandered aimlessly from one room to another." She shrugged a touch, her lips pursed as she shrugged again. "So, really, absolutely nothing. I didn't start dinner cuz I didn't know what time you would be home." She let out a low breath, shrugging a bit again. "Sorry about that." Her hand reached up to help him unbutton a couple of the buttons to his shirt, fingers tracing over the beater beneath before she dropped her hands back to her lap. (NT) -- Diamond, 11:46:37 04/29/05 Fri
• "Don't worry about it. We can order in if you don't feel like cooking.. or worse yet, eating one of my contraptions." He actually wasn't a bad cook, he had fared very well as a bachelor for many years, but they were both a little spoilt now that they were living together. (NT) -- Fallon, 12:50:00 04/29/05 Fri
• She shrugged a touch, her brow furrowed as she let out a thoughtful breath. "I can just go make something." She murmured after a second - at least it would be something to do. She felt so useless and pointless sometimes, she just had nothing to do ever. She needed to get a hobby or start doing volunteer work or something. She stood up, her hand going to her lower back for a second - it had been a couple of days since he started hurting a bit - so began the next eight months. "What are you feeling like?" She had decided to just not talk about the baby - if she didn't mention it, she didn't quite feel as badly for screwing up everything. (NT) -- Diamond, 17:55:59 05/01/05 Sun
• He seated himself at the table so he could watch her go about the kitchen. Resting his elbow on the mahogany tabletop and his chin on his palm, he took her form in and shook his head. "I don't know.. don't care - whatever you want to make, darling." He pressed his lips together and continued to watch her - soon her silhouette would be swollen with child and they would replay the last year. (NT) -- Fallon, 17:59:25 05/01/05 Sun
• Hopefully not step by step, but he seemed pretty convinced this is the way it would play out. A low breath escaped her lips as she tried to push away her grumpy thoughts, there was no sense in dwelling on this. Her brow furrowed a touch as she digged through the cupboards, before she found some rigatoni noodles and then some spaghetti sauce. Some meat was laid out for meatballs and she was all set to make some pasta for dinner. "Pasta, garlic bread and salad ok?" Easy to make and still pretty good, so she was all for it if he was ok with it. Her hand reached up, running through her long dark hair before she pulled it back with an elastic band. (NT) -- Diamond, 18:08:39 05/01/05 Sun
• He frowned, watching her, he could see the unhappiness rolling off of her like steam off of a body of water after a rain. "Diamond..." He looked up, catching her eyes when she turned. "Can you come sit here with me for a minute?" He patted the tabletop gently, his dark eyes concerned. (NT) -- Fallon, 18:14:41 05/01/05 Sun
• She paused a second, nodding before she turned to cover up the pasta pot and then headed over to where he was sitting down, sitting down across from him. She pulled her hair down, before pulling it back up again, trying to rid herself of any bumps to no avail - her hair had to much damn body. Her brow cocked expectantly, a little unsure as to why she was sitting down at the table when she could be making their food. (NT) -- Diamond, 18:21:45 05/01/05 Sun
• Again, he frowned, a line of worry creasing his brow, framing his dark eyes. "Diamond, I'm concerned about you." He sighed a bit - how to articulate this? He wasn't sure where to begin even. "You don't look happy. What's wrong? You have to talk to me, baby, or things won't get better." (NT) -- Fallon, 18:26:35 05/01/05 Sun
• She hated to make him worry, it was like she wasn't making things bad enough for him as it was - now she couldn't even act happy enough to keep him happy. She thought over her answer before she shrugged her shoulders and pursed her lips. "I'm happy, just a little tired is all. First trimester is always a little draining." She shrugged a little again, her lip going between her teeth. She had been on some anti-depressants too but now that she was pregnant she couldn't take them and that was messing up her psyche a little bit too. (NT) -- Diamond, 18:32:32 05/01/05 Sun
• He let out another long breath - it was difficult to say what he had coming next without sounding completely offensive and really hurting her feelings. "Would you talk to a counsellor once a week? Just to have a chat with someone?" The last thing he needed was her unresponsive and sullen. He wasn't sure what went on in that head of hers, but he hated to see her like this. (NT) -- Fallon, 18:37:39 05/01/05 Sun
• She frowned a bit at that, standing up to go turn down the fire on the spaghetti sauce and stirring it a touch, checking on the garlic bread as she cleared her throat and turned back to him. "I did the whole counseling thing after I got out of the hospital. They told me to some pills and now I can't take them anymore, I am sure thats all that fucking me up so how are they going to be able to help me?" She questioned, not really angry just frustrated. (NT) -- Diamond, 18:43:09 05/01/05 Sun
• "Well you're not talking to anyone now. I'm not talking anymore drug therapy - I don't want your system fucked up.. but it might be helpful to talk to someone who you know has no reason for you to imagine they blame you for anything." He knew that was the underlying thing, but there was obviously nothing he could say to her to convince her otherwise. (NT) -- Fallon, 18:46:47 05/01/05 Sun
• "Anyone would blame me for everything." She muttered, stirring the spaghetti sauce again before she just shrugged. "If it would make you feel better, I will talk to someone." She just didn't want him to be unhappy and hell, at least it would be something for her to do to get out of his apartment for a little while. They hadn't even talked about the wedding since she had found out she was pregnant and she hadn't been brave enough to bring it up. (NT) -- Diamoond, 18:50:28 05/01/05 Sun
• He rose, sighing a little bit - his entire stance was completely depleted - he didn't know what to do with her, it was frustrating that he couldn't fix anything on his own. He approached from behind, sliding his arms around her waist and his hands over her stomach. "Baby, I don't blame you for anything, I wish you could see that." (NT) -- Fallon, 18:52:23 05/01/05 Sun
• She leaned against his chest, tightening his arms around her. She wanted to believe him so badly but it was like he still lived in such fear and mourning that he had to blame her - how else could anything have happened, or would happen, to their baby? She rested her head back on his shoulder, her eyes up on him, her voice completely honest. "I just wanna make you happy." Thats all she wanted out of life right now, to make him happy and be everything he needed. (NT) -- Diamond, 18:55:43 05/01/05 Sun
• He frowned at her statement - what about herself? He wished she would quit worrying so much about what he felt and thought and more about her own happiness. He held her closely, his very presence exeuding an air of security, safety. "I am happy, angel - I don't know what would make you think otherwise." (NT) -- Fallon, 18:58:21 05/01/05 Sun
• ...because he didn't have his daughter, because he didn't want this baby, because she messed up and got pregant again, because she wasn't happy enough herself, because he was stuck with her forever. There were lots of reasons why he wouldn't be happy but he seemed to be sticking through it pretty well. "Well, then, I just want to keep you happy." She watched the stove carefully, monitoring the food as she swallowed and let out a soft breath. "Do you still want to get married someday?" (NT) -- Diamond, 19:02:14 05/01/05 Sun
• He frowned, turning her around in his arms and pulling her to his chest almost urgently, overwhelmed with an insane desire and urge to hold her, protect her from whatever demons it was that she seemed to be suffering at the hands of. "Of course I want to marry you, Di. If there was a minister here right now, I would do it this second." (NT) -- Fallon, 19:07:32 05/01/05 Sun
• She nodded against his chest, her cheek resting there. She wished he could save her from the demons that haunted her but there were so many of them that it seemed to be an impossible battle. She had physial marks on her body that just screamed of her demons - the scars on her arms from cutting up and shooting up, the scars on her chest and stomach from getting shot...she pushed away those thoughts though, as he spoke in answer to his question. "I'm glad..." She murmured softly, hugging him tightly. (NT) -- Diamond, 19:12:34 05/01/05 Sun
• "Why don't we take a little vacation?" He suggested, still hugging her tight, resting his chin against her head easily. "Just to get away from all this for a little while. This weekend, just go out to someone's cottage in the mountains and just sit by the fire at night and talk." (NT) -- Fallon, 19:16:27 05/01/05 Sun
• Her eyes drifted up to him, her brow furrowed a touch before she finally smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I think that would be nice." She stated softly, her hand sliding down his chest before she turned quickly, remembering the food. "Breads gonna burn!" She exclaimed, grabbing a pot holder and pulling it out quickly, letting it drop onto the stove as the hot pans heat slipped through the oven mitt to her fingers. "I suck at cooking." She shook her head, tsk'ing at her self before she looked up at him, smiling just a touch. (NT) -- Diamond, 19:19:38 05/01/05 Sun
• He turned a critical eye to the bread that was just heavily browned, but not actually burnt, turning itover on the pan so he could get a look at it. "You don't suck at cooking, it's fine. It's my fault for distracting you anyways." (NT) -- Fallon, 19:22:51 05/01/05 Sun
• She smiled a touch brighter at that, her hand sliping up to cup his cheek and draw his face a touch down so that she could place a warm kiss to his lips. "I love you.." She murmured softly, her eyes serious on his. "..I'll always love you." She nodded firmly at that before she turned and grabbed down some plates and bowls to get their food all set. "Go on and sit down, baby, I'll bring over your food as soon as it is all ready." It was amazing how much she had settled, from being a high priced prostitute and herion addict to making dinner for her soon to be husband. (NT) -- Diamond, 19:34:42 05/01/05 Sun
• The role really seemed to make her blossom though - as a general rule, up to this point, she had seemed very happy, and very willing in that role - if she needed to change something, then he'd help her do it. "Love you too baby." He pressed one more kiss to her forehead before following her orders and taking his seat at the table. (NT) -- Fallon, 19:44:54 05/01/05 Sun
• She took a few minutes before she brought over his salad and the dressing and things of that nature before she headed back over to the stove to finish up the pasta, making him a plate of that and taking it over along with a beer before she headed back to make her own much smaller plate and grab a bottle of water - heading to sit down with him again. "Good?" She grinned, tipping her head to the side to make sure he was enjoying his food. (NT) -- Diamond, 19:50:58 05/01/05 Sun
• He nodded, deftly scooping pasta into his mouth for a moment, famished from being in town all day, and then finally looked up, brushing his dark hair, a little on the long side, away from his eyes. "It's perfect, baby. Takeout wouldn't have been this good." (NT) -- Fallon, 19:55:55 05/01/05 Sun
• She smiled, obviously pleased with his compliment before she went silent to eat her food - letting him finish up his before she stood to clear off the table and put the things into the dishwasher. "You have any plans tonight?" She questioned, glancing over her shoulder at her hopefully full and happy boyfriend. (NT) -- Diamond, 20:01:22 05/01/05 Sun
• "Nope, the clubs are functioning well without me, so I thought I'd stay in with you, maybe - or do whatever you're up to." He knew sometimes his easy-to-get-along withness was frustrating for her, but he would be pleased just to spend the evening with her. (NT) -- Fall, 20:08:23 05/01/05 Sun
• She nodded a little, watching him for a second over her shoulder before she looked back to the dishwasher to set it and then close it. "I was thinking about going shopping for a little while..if you want too, we could head to the mall, pick up a few things and maybe grab a movie or something?" Something normal and cute and simple and something they deserved. (NT) -- Diamond, 20:15:09 05/01/05 Sun
• He really enjoyed it when they did "normal", civilized, domestic things because it reminded him that they had not always been fortunate enough to do those things. He nodded a little bit, finally rising from his seat and meandering over again. "That sounds really good." (NT) -- Fall, 20:19:57 05/01/05 Sun
• She smiled lightly, nodding a little as she turned to face him. "Yeah, I think so too..." She smiled, reaching up to press a kiss to her cheek before she took his hand. "Want to go change first? I am going too..." And he was still in his business clothes and he usually was out of those by this time in the day. She tugged lightly on his hand, guiding him towards the stairs so they could go up to their room. (NT) -- Diamond, 20:23:37 05/01/05 Sun
• He was pleased to see that her mood had improved somewhat since he'd broached the subject, so he felt, to say the least, a little relieved. He took her hand, following her up the stairs. "I think I'd look a little silly in the mall wearing this, so I'd better." (NT) -- Fallon, 09:18:36 05/02/05 Mon
• She laughed softly at that, turning her head to see him for a second as she teased. "I think you look hot." She winked playfully before she disappeared into their room, heading to her closet to grab a pair of jeans and a nice warm, comfy hoody. A yawn escaped her lips as she shrugged out of her shirt and tossed it into the hamper. "We should get icecream while we are there, they have a ben and jerry's stand and I want chubby hubby icecream with extra pretzals." (NT) -- Diamond, 09:38:47 05/02/05 Mon
• He raised a brow at that, shaking his head as he unbuttoned his shirt and stepped out of his pressed slacks. "Are you implying something?" Standing there in his boxers, he looked down at his still very toned abdomen, and looked back to her, making a bit of a pout. (NT) -- Fallon, 09:45:49 05/02/05 Mon
• She laughed, shaking her head as she moved over to him, her own hoodie tossed on the bed - she would put it on later. "No...your not my hubby yet but when you are, I won't let you get chubby, I'll make you run and stuff." She grinned lightly, her hand trailing down his abdomen appreciatively. "So, shopping, movie, icecream...sounds like a perfect date to me." She reached up, pressing another warm kiss to his lips again. (NT) -- Diamond, 09:51:13 05/02/05 Mon
• He laughed a little bit, taking her hand in his and pressing a kiss to her cheek. "A far cry from what we used to think was a perfect date. We're really turning into parents." He drew her knuckles to his lips easily, and then released her, heading to his dresser for a pair of jeans and a long sleeved sweater. (NT) -- Fallon, 10:08:35 05/02/05 Mon
• She laughed, shaking her head with a smirk. "We didn't go on dates until about a year ago, honey." She smirked, heading over to the bed to tug on her hoodie. The fact that he had called them 'parents' caught her off guard for a second, it was just that he hadn't admitted it before that they were going to be 'parents' again and it just seemed like a big step for him. (NT) -- Diamond, 10:11:16 05/02/05 Mon
• Well it was true. Though they were fairly toned down now, soon they would be somebody's parents and therefore responsable for more lives than just their own. He stepped into his clothes, brushing his hand through his hair to muss it up a little bit. "Well you know what I mean." (NT) -- Fall, 10:17:36 05/02/05 Mon
• She nodded a touch, tugging on her hoodie and straightening it before she ran her hand through her hair much like he did, but it was to tame her waves instead of muss them. Her brow furrowed a touch as she looked in the mirror before she grabbed her keys and cocked a brow. "You ready?" She questioned, cocking a brow towards him. (NT) -- Fallon, 10:22:04 05/02/05 Mon
• He checked himself out in the mirror, not really out of vanity, but to make sure everything was in place. He had to do that once in a while, just to make sure he was put together properly. He nodded, sliding his hand into hers and heading out the bedroom door. "Ready as ever." (NT) -- Fallon, 10:43:03 05/02/05 Mon
