• As he kept spending more and more time with his son and stressing about Elena, she kept pulling more and more inside herself. She felt like her and her child with him were going to be second place. A family that wasn't really wanted or desired. In a way, she knew her thoughts weren't true but in her hormonal state it was difficult to deny them and not to wallow in them in self pity. At six months along, her stomache was uncomfortably swollen for her petite frame and she was just generally uncomfortable most of the time. She had heard the door open,she'd heard Richards voice, but not of that propelled her to get out of bed. (NT) -- Fiona, 18:30:59 01/13/05 Thu
  • He didn't know what to do with her anymore. He gave her all he could, told her repeatedly how important she was to him. It all seemed to go in one ear and out the other. So he was left with a despondant wife and a baby that he had no idea how to really take care of. Life seemed to change so quickly in front of his eyes (NT) -- Lochlan, 19:54:55 01/13/05 Thu
• She relaxed in bed for a long time, just gaining her strength about her before she finally got up and went into the living room, offering him a slight smile. Even though, she was incredably unhappy, she still took care of him the best she could as if she needed to make up for him being stuck with her. Her brow furrowed gently as she reached down into James's diaper bag, pausing a brief moment to find the formula. "Either of you eat yet?" She questioned, her head cocked to the side. She was clad in just low slung lounging pants, plaid flannel, and a long sleeve tee shirt... (NT) -- Fiona, 20:05:02 01/13/05 Thu
  • he shrugged staring down at the baby "I have no idea about him. All I know is I'm being lied to and I don't like it." his accent was thick and his brow furrowed, he was really tired of being in the middle of a mess all the time. (NT) -- Lochlan, 20:12:44 01/13/05 Thu
• The baby was whimpering a bit so she just picked up the baby bottle and formula and went about getting him a bottle prepared. After a few seconds she came back in, her brow furrowed as she offered him the bottle but then saw that he was obviously to tense to be holding the baby right then. Gently, she took the baby from him and murmured quietly to him in Gaelic before she offered the bottle, sitting down on the chair that was on the other side of the room, directly across from him. "Why don't you call her or something, Loch?" (NT) -- Fiona, 20:19:18 01/13/05 Thu
  • he stood up and shrugged, his broad shoulders tense "I'm not hunting her down. She's going to have to come to me to get him, I'm not giving him to anyone else this time. And we're going to talk. I've had enough" he had put up with a lot this past year and he'd been a very patient man. He was sick and tired of being pushed around (NT) -- Lochlan, 20:24:22 01/13/05 Thu
• She nodded a little, her brow furrowed gently as she let out a soft sigh and cuddled the baby to her chest. She hadn't exactly bonded with him but she could take care of him as she needed too. She watched as he paced the room, letting out a soft breath and tucking her lip between her teeth absently. "If you want to be alone...I can head out for awhile to give you some privacy." She didn't know what else to say, she felt bad for all the stress he was under. (NT) -- Fiona, 20:30:54 01/13/05 Thu
  • he sighed, his shoulders dropping as he took a moment to calm himself. "No, don't. I feel better knowing you're here" (NT) -- Lochlan, 20:36:31 01/13/05 Thu
• She nodded lightly, the baby starting to drift off now, causing her to smile lightly before she stood and burped him quietly. "I am going to put him down for a nap." She headed into the nursery that was supposed to be for their baby but had been kind of adopted by James, laying him down in the crib and turning on the mobile before she headed back out. "Want me to make you some lunch, Lochlan?" She questioned, heading into the kitchen. She was just putting her best foot forward and taking things as they came... (NT) -- Fiona, 20:45:32 01/13/05 Thu
  • he shook his head, he didn't want to eat "Just sit down and relax princess, don't wear yourself out" (NT) -- Lochlan, 20:52:53 01/13/05 Thu
• She let out a soft breath, coming out of the kitchen and sitting down, her eyes on him for a moment before she brought her gaze down to her stomache, her hand resting on the large swell absently. "I am getting huge." She stated absently, her hand rubbing in slow circles. She ws a little over six months along now. Her brow furrowed gently, shifting as the baby moved her hand trying to soothe it. (NT) -- Fiona, 21:02:24 01/13/05 Thu
  • he gave her a slight smile, and crossed over to her, wrapping his arms around her, resting his cheek on top of her head "Our baby's gonna be here before you know it" (NT) -- Lochlan, 21:21:54 01/13/05 Thu
• She scooted over a touch to make room for him, nodding quietly as she let out a soft breath. "Yeah...it is.." She smiled gently, cuddling into his arms more then willingly - wanting the security of his embrace. She hated how tense things were around here, it seemed things were just starting to warm up between them and suddenly things were falling apart again. (NT) -- Fiona, 21:25:27 01/13/05 Thu
  • He just wished he had time to enjoy his wife, without the past and her father getting in the way. He'd done everything that had been asked of him, every life changing thing, and yet more was continually asked. He worried about Fiona as well, he knew all this was upsetting her. And her father certainly wasn't helping make it easier for her. "We need a vacation" (NT) -- Lochlan, 21:38:28 01/13/05 Thu

• She had still yet to hold the child or really even deal with it more then necessary. It wasn't that she was bitter or hated him or anything, she just had a lot to work through before she did anything - like bond. When she came out of the bedroom and saw him standing there holding him, she sighed softly. They were supposed to go out baby shopping but now it seemed they wouldn't be... (NT) -- Fiona, 21:26:33 11/09/04 Tue
  • he looked back at her when he heard her sigh and he knew what he was hearing was disappointment. He didn't know how to feel in this situation. On the one hand, he hated that his wife was so upset, but on the other, what was upsetting her seemed to be his son. He was starting to feel like he had to choose (NT) -- Lochlan, 21:36:24 11/09/04 Tue
• She pushed aside her disappointment, instead just offering a slight smile. "Hungry? I can just make something here..." They were going to get something on the way but she could be flexiable. (NT) -- Fiona, 21:42:32 11/09/04 Tue
  • he frowned slightly "Why? I thought we were going out?" he had no intentions of changing their plans. Sure it would look a little weird to have a little baby with her as pregnant as she was, but he wasn't going to change their plans because of it. (NT) -- Lochlan, 21:56:02 11/09/04 Tue
• She let out a low breath, shaking her head as she gazed around. "We don't have a carseat, we can't take him anywhere without a carseat." She stated simply, honestly. She was trying to keep control of her emotions but it was so hard with her hormones so out of balance and her feeling so awful about herself. (NT) -- Fiona, 20:47:56 11/13/04 Sat
  • he shrugged lightly "We've got a stroller at least" he'd made sure to pick one up now that he'd been seeing James more and more "We can walk into town and pick one up real quick. Then come back and get the car and do some real shopping." he could tell she was feeling off, but he wasn't sure how. He just wished there was an easy solution to such a situation (NT) -- Lochlan, 21:11:02 11/13/04 Sat

• She came up a few minutes later, shutting the door and kicking off her shoes before she slipped into the kitchen to get a drink and then stopped suddenly at the sight of the child who looked identicle to her husband.

• "Yeah...he looks like you..and her...but..well, thats to be expected." She bit her lip a bit more, a flush crossing her cheeks at her rambling, swallowing roughly.

She stated softly, tilting her head as she shifted to sit down on the floor, which was growing to be a difficult task with her growing stomache. (NT) -- Loch, 22:31:57 10/31/04 Sun

• "Maybe in a little while....we should just let him get used to me at first." She nodded at that, as if confirming her own words. "I need to start cooking dinner soon...been slackin' off lately..."

• She nodded a bit at that, her brow furrowed. "Our baby is going to be the youngest of his family and I don't even have any other kids..." It was weird, very weird and with her hormones as out of wack as they were, it was making her want to cry. (NT) -- Fiona, 23:21:42 10/31/04 Sun

• She drifted in and out of sleep for about twenty minutes but then awoke, staying in his embrace for a long time without saying anything. Her hand went to rest flat on his chest, her eyes drifting up to him. "Would it bother you to tell me about her?" She questioned, her voice soft as she gazed up at him. (NT) -- Fiona, 22:37:27 10/26/04 Tue
  • he frowned slightly, it was kind of hard to think about her and the times when things were happy "What would you like to know?" he asked quietly. He had a hard time saying no to her (NT) -- Lochlan, 22:41:41 10/26/04 Tue
• She shrugged a little, her eyes on his. "What your relationship was like, what made you fall in love with her...how did you propose?" She bit her lip lightly, just wondering about what he would be like in a normal not arragange relationship. (NT) -- Fiona, 22:43:28 10/26/04 Tue
  • he sighed, closing his eyes. As happy as those memories had been for him, he now found them painful, because he felt it was going to be hurting her in revealing facts about his former relationship. He cursed her father yet again for putting her in this situation before he spoke " I met her when I was 22...my final year at school. She worked in the library, where I spent a lot of time to try and stay ahead." her father had expected that of him, nothing less. "Her presence was just so....relaxing when everything else felt so hectic...I needed that in my life.." he trailed off, wondering just how far she wanted him to go into this (NT) -- Lochlan, 22:53:34 10/26/04 Tue
• She bit her lip, but nodded, her eyes dropping to a spot somewhere past his shoulder on the wall as he spoke. "Go on..." She encouraged, her voice soft as she took in the information quietly. (NT) -- Fiona, 22:58:50 10/26/04 Tue
  • with a few moments silence, he continued "I don't know...it just sort of worked out for a while for us...we clicked..so I decided to make it official. I went to her family...went to your father...then I proposed to her that evening, over dinner....nothing fancy" he had trouble being romantic, he was practical and business minded, romance seemed such a flight of fancy to him (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:02:41 10/26/04 Tue
• "How did you fall in love with her though? I mean, you just click and then your in love...what made you love her?" Maybe she could get some insight into the matter, figure out what went on in this mans heart and head. (NT) -- Fiona, 23:07:10 10/26/04 Tue
  • again he was silent for a time before answering, putting real thought into her questions before answering them "I can't really say princess..." the nickname had become an endearment instead of a swipe at her "it just...hit me one day......it got to be like we'd know each other all our lives..." he didn't want to add that he had use to believe that he could never go on without her...he had proved himself wrong with Fiona though (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:11:04 10/26/04 Tue
• She bit her lip at that, nodding a little bit. "You had a lot a in common?" She questioned softly, her brow furrowed as she thought over this all in her head. "You guys probably talked a lot at first, huh? Found out all about one another and all the things you both liked." In all honesty, she didn't even know his favorite movie or color - none of those things your supposed to find out while your dating and giggle over with your friends.... (NT) -- Fiona, 23:19:58 10/26/04 Tue
  • he shrugged lightly, answering her honestly "I can't really remember Fiona....I don't really remember what it was like in the beginning. I just remember thinking how nice it was to have company when I was stuck in that stuffy library.." the details had been lost in his memory, most likely never to return (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:23:15 10/26/04 Tue
• She nodded a bit, swallowing a little. "But you know things, like her favorite dinner and the kind of perfume she wears and what movie she watches when she's sad?" She had never been in a relationship other then him - she wanted to know how it had been before she appeared in his life. (NT) -- Fiona, 23:29:22 10/26/04 Tue
  • he nodded as he remembered "Yes...over time I grew to learn this stuff....just like you do in any relationship you have with a person...it's just natural to start noticing things like that" (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:37:19 10/26/04 Tue
• "Yeah...I guess so." She shifted to turn over on her back, her stomache running over her very pregnant belly. "How long were you together then, all together?" She ran her hand over her stomache before she straightened tugged the blankets further up on her body, cuddling beneath them mostly just for security. (NT) -- Fionna, 23:43:59 10/26/04 Tue
  • he placed a hand gently on her stomach, a silent reminder that he was in this with her and that's where he wanted to be "About 3 years...almost 4." he tilted his head to the side, watching her quietly "I want to learn those things about you too Fiona. I know we don't know much now..but we can learn." (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:50:17 10/26/04 Tue
• "Long time..." She stated softly, brushing her hand over her hair before she looked over at him. "Yeah....thats really the kind of thing your supposed to do before you get married though." She bit her lip, shaking her head. "We're going to have a baby Loch, we aren't going to have time to 'get to know one another' while your working forty hours a week and there's a baby to take care of...." She shrugged lightly, her brow furrowed - she wasn't angry at all, just thoughtful. (NT) -- Fionna, 23:59:26 10/26/04 Tue
  • he nodded his head, he had thought about this as well, but he was determined to make this as good of a relationship as he could despite the unusual circumstances "We're going to make time....I can take time off without much trouble and we can get a nanny to watch the baby and have time for ourselves." (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:05:00 10/27/04 Wed
• She sighed softly, clearing her throat as she looked up at him. "I am a little scared about all this Loch. I know it's a little to late to be having second thoughts but I am...I dunno. It's all getting to be now." (NT) -- Fionna, 00:10:04 10/27/04 Wed
  • he gave her a light smile "I'll do my best to alieve your fears if you let me, if I can. I love being with you...I know this is all a little unconventional...but it's just something we've got to work around" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:17:22 10/27/04 Wed
• She sighed softly, turning onto her side and facing him, her eyes on his. "This sounds horrible, I mean, you know I will love our child but I just..I kind of want the time just with you...." (NT) -- Fiona, 00:19:37 10/27/04 Wed
  • he nodded "I would have liked to have had it that way too...but we're going to make time so we can be just us. Don't ever worry that we won't. I won't let it happen" he said, pressing a kiss to her forehead (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:23:34 10/27/04 Wed
• She sighed softly, cuddling closer to him, her eyes closed. "I don't deserve you Loch, and you didn't deserve to have your life turn upside down like you did...." She felt horrible about it all, like she was a homewrecker and what she and Lochlan had was all wrong. (NT) -- Fiona, 00:25:11 10/27/04 Wed
  • he smiled slightly, kissing the top of her head "You righted it for me real quickly baby....I'm happy with how things have turned out...I'm gonna do my best to make you happy too" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:31:50 10/27/04 Wed
• "I feel like a homewrecker." She stated, her voice muffled against his chest as she shifted impossibly closer to him, biting her lip heavily as she always did when nervous or upset. (NT) -- Fiona, 00:33:06 10/27/04 Wed
  • he sighed, wishing he could make this better for her, he just didn't know how "You did nothing wrong here Fiona....you had no control here" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:42:44 10/27/04 Wed
• She swallowed heavily, sighing as she looked up at him - quiet for a long moment before she finally spoke - her voice a low tone. "Whats your favorite color, Loch?" (NT) -- Fiona, 00:44:46 10/27/04 Wed
  • he smiled lightly, "it's actually pretty boring, grayish blue is actually a color I lean towards more than others....I'm pretty boring" he said light heartedly (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:48:35 10/27/04 Wed
• She smiled a little, nodding at that, at least she knew something now - that little bit of information made her feel quite a bit better. (NT) -- Fiona, 00:49:32 10/27/04 Wed

• he came in about a half hour later looking worse for wear. He hadn't shaved for days, his hair was a mess, his eyes circled with black and red. Insomnia had been his only friend for a while now. Seeing her he said nothing, just walking into the kitchen to get himself a drink (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:40:33 10/25/04 Mon
• She shifted to pull down the light blanket from the back of the couch, cuddling into a ball around her rounded stomache. She hadn't slept much - she couldn't sleep much away from him and their apartment - it just didn't sit well with her. (NT) -- Fiona, 23:46:20 10/25/04 Mon
  • he stayed back in the kitchen, in seclusion, he was mad. he was tired. he was so confused he didn't even know which way was up anymore (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:50:01 10/25/04 Mon
• She sighed softly, unable to get comfortable so she stood up, heading into the kitchen to get a drink. Not expecting to see him there- she got startled and screeched, stepping back so quickly she tripped over her own feet - teetering precariously. (NT) -- Fiona, 23:51:22 10/25/04 Mon
  • he steadied her but did nothing more, just stood there quietly. No hug, no smile, nothing but silence (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:53:20 10/25/04 Mon
• She swallowed softly, looking up at him with wide, dark eyes, her expression scared and almost nervous. "No wonder you were so reluctant to get married. I mean, I just didn't want to but you...you had a whole 'nother life...' (NT) -- Fiona, 23:55:53 10/25/04 Mon
  • he shrugged lightly "we do what we have to do and accept it" he said in a gruff voice, he hadn't spoken a word since Elana left, it was hoarse from lack of use (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:00:17 10/26/04 Tue
• She bit her lip at that, clearing her throat. "Yeah, I guess so. All I can say is I am sorry. I could have...hid better or something." She turned from him, heading into the fridgerator to grab some carrots, an apple, and then the peanut butter. (NT) -- Fiona, 00:01:27 10/26/04 Tue
  • he shook his head "I would have still gone after you Fiona. I made the choice and accepted it, and I'm happy with my decision. I'm glad I married you and I want to stay married to you" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:04:31 10/26/04 Tue
• Her body visibly relaxed at that though she didn't say anything - just slid up to the bar with her food and began cutting up the apple with a shaky hand. She was a little overwhelmed by the news of him being engaged when he married her - it was unthinkable how she would handle the news of his child. (NT) -- Fiona, 00:08:44 10/26/04 Tue
  • he sighed and took the knife from her hand, not wanting her to cut herself and he took over, handing it to her when he was done. "there's something else though that I don't think needs to be kept secret" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:12:28 10/26/04 Tue
• She took a bite of the apple, her eyes turning up to him - a wary look in her eyes. "What?" She questioned, biting her lip - her brow furrowed in slight upset. (NT) -- Fiona, 00:13:44 10/26/04 Tue
  • he ran a hand over his face, trying to prepare himself for this, it was a hard thing to confess. "Elana stopped by last night and informed me that I have a son...2 months old, a little boy..." he trailed off....now it was out there, that was all that could be done (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:15:16 10/26/04 Tue
• She set down the apply, swallowing as she tried to take in this information. It was quite the shock. He had a baby, with the woman he had loved by his own choice - a baby he had created out of love and not request and it was born already, in the world. He had a son. She nodded a bit, looking back down at the apple. "Oh." (NT) -- Fiona, 00:16:46 10/26/04 Tue
  • he sighed once more "We won't be seeing much of him though....she's taking him back to Scotland with her....I just figured that we shouldn't keep secrets from one another" he sighed again "It's our relationship I want to work on now. Elana is the past, and you and our baby are my future...if you're willing to work with me on that that is" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:22:49 10/26/04 Tue
• "You loved her a lot though..." She stated, looking up at him, her eyes desperate. "You have a whole 'nother family out there Loch, the family you were supposed to have before my father forced you into this marriage...." She swallowed softly, her eyes shining with such a desperate love for him, it was obvious she would do anything for him. "I would understand if you wanted to be with her...I mean, I am sure I could reason with my father..." (NT) -- Fiona, 00:26:30 10/26/04 Tue
  • he shook his head "Didn't you hear me Fiona? I CHOSE you. I said the vows, I chased you down, I got to know you, grew to love you....this is my future....it just wasn't meant to be with Elana or it would have worked out" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:28:40 10/26/04 Tue
• But he chose her because of his father and he grew to know her because he had to and he grew to love her because it was either that or be miserable for his whole life. Instead of saying all that though she just nodded, swallowing softly as she pushed away the apple, suddenly never very hungry. "Yeah, yeah, your probably right." (NT) -- Fiona, 00:30:19 10/26/04 Tue
  • her emotions always shone bright in her eyes and it was plain for him to see that she still wasn't happy. "All I can give you is my words....I don't know what else to do" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:32:09 10/26/04 Tue
• "I know..." She forced a watery smile, letting out a low breath as she ran her hand over her eyes before she slipped off of the stool to head back into the living room. "You should try and rest, you don't look well." (NT) -- Fiona, 00:33:10 10/26/04 Tue
  • he sighed "I can't rest with you like you are....dammit Fiona I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. I don't know why your father brought her here or why he kept you with him these past few days, all I know is he's mad at me and he's out to make me pay for it. If you'd prefer we can let him win and we can split up or we can take this and work through it, it's up to you, you know what I'd choose" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:35:56 10/26/04 Tue
• "I don't want to split up..." She stated, biting her lip. Things had gotten so crazy ever since dinner when he had stormed out without even giving her a chance to say anything. It was hard to deal with all this news and she wasn't sure how to make him understand that. "I am not mad at you, Lochlan, this is just a lot to take in." (NT) -- Fiona, 00:38:42 10/26/04 Tue
  • he rubbed his eyes with his hands, nodding "Believe me...I know....just...come lay down with me?" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:39:25 10/26/04 Tue
• She nodded at that, pushing herself off the couch and shifting to head into the bedroom with him, just laying down on top of the covers, her hand tucked under her cheek as she watched him. (NT) -- Fiona, 00:42:14 10/26/04 Tue
  • he laid down beside her with a heavy sigh "I've missed you" he wrapped his arms around her, he had missed her. She had turned into a calming force in his life (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:43:23 10/26/04 Tue
• "I missed you too...." She stated softly, shifting to cuddle into his arms. "I missed you a lot." She murmured, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek as she curled against him lovingly. "I didn;t realize how much I would miss you just being away a couple of nights..." (NT) -- Fiona, 00:49:08 10/26/04 Tue
  • he sighed, eyes closing "I don't think I've slept since you've been gone" (NT) -- Lochlan, 00:51:02 10/26/04 Tue
• "So sleep now love..." She murmured softly, soothing him as she shifted closer. At that moment though, the baby decided to let its presence be known with a firm kick against her stomache. "Loch.." She let out a breath, his name escaping on it as she grabbed his hand and put it on her stomache, letting him feel it. (NT) -- Fiona, 00:52:29 10/26/04 Tue
  • he lifted his head and arched a brow out of confusion, that was the strangest thing he'd ever felt "Is that the baby?" he asked, his voice low and raspy (NT) -- Lochlan, 18:42:25 10/26/04 Tue
• She laughed lightly - the first time in days. "Yeah...thats the baby..." Her hand moved over her stomache as she shifted to stretch out on her back, a low breath escaping her as the movement continued. (NT) -- Fiona, 18:44:30 10/26/04 Tue
  • he laid his head back down but kept his hand on her stomach, it was hard to imagine that was a baby. It made him think of James, and all the things he'd missed with him, and it struck him again that he had a child, one he would probably have nothing to do with for the rest of his life. It wasn't something he liked thinking about (NT) -- Lochlan, 18:55:25 10/26/04 Tue
• She also turned quiet and thoughtfully, sighing silently after awhile before she closed her eyes and tried to sleep just a little bit.... (NT) -- Fiona', 18:56:55 10/26/04 Tue
  • he drifted off as well, the heavy burdens he was bearing on his shoulders had worn him down to nothing, and he was ready to change that (NT) -- Lochlan, 19:05:17 10/26/04 Tue

She didn't know how to respond to the words that he still loved her - what purpose was there it torturing themselves. Besides he had fallen in love again pretty darn quickly. (NT) -- Fioan, 22:37:21 10/25/04 Mon
  • he nodded, running a hand over his hair once more "Jakob had threatened to do whatever he needed to do to take your life apart piece by piece until you were left with nothing and nowhere to go and no way to fix it......I couldn't let him hurt you Elana" (NT) -- Lochlan, 22:41:07 10/25/04 Mon
• She bit her lip lightly, her eyes sliding shut. "But I would have still had you..." She murmured softly, her voice rough as she gazed down at their son. It wasn't fair that he would never get the blessing of having his father there all the time. (NT) -- Fiona, 22:42:07 10/25/04 Mon
  • "At what cost though?" he said quietly "Neither of us would have been able to get a job, left the country, or even tried to get him for it. He's got the right friends and enough money to throw around to follow through with anything he says.....I wanted to give you a chance" it would have been without him, but it would have been a future free of a threat hanging over her (NT) -- Lochlan, 22:46:44 10/25/04 Mon
• She shook her head, wiping at her eyes discreetly. "You should have talked to me, Loc." She cleared her throat, glancing at the clock. "His appointment is in an hour, I should go." She shifted to button her shirt, before placing the baby onto her shoulder and burping him - after a few minutes he was smiling and happy again. (NT) -- Fiona, 22:49:05 10/25/04 Mon
  • he stood as well, his brow furrowed "Please don't go back to Scotland....not just yet..." (NT) -- Lochlan, 22:50:01 10/25/04 Mon
• She sighed softly, biting her lip as she looked down for a second before she looked back up to him. "It's hard for me here, Lochlan, really hard." She didn't think emotionally and mentally she could handle it - it was just to intensely painful. He had no idea what it was like, he had moved on - she hadn't. (NT) -- Fiona, 22:52:08 10/25/04 Mon
  • "I just want some time with James....it doesn't have to be forever....just a little bit of time. Like I said I'll put you up somewhere till you can get on your feet, whatever it takes" he pleaded quietly (NT) -- Lochlan, 22:53:40 10/25/04 Mon
• "Time until when? Time until your other kid is born? The one you planned and wanted?" she questioned, setting her jaw as she placed the little boy in his carrier, buckling him in and leaning down to press a soft kiss to his head. (NT) -- Fina, 22:57:20 10/25/04 Mon
  • he frowned "I didn't want to have a baby like this, but once again Jakob stepped in and decided that we should. Fiona is so devoted to her father that despite not liking the idea she didn't try to change his mind." he sighed "I know this is difficult...but can't we at least try to be civil?" (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:04:57 10/25/04 Mon
• "You can be civil because you moved on and a mere what, five months later while I was thousands of miles away carrying your child you were falling in love and building a nursery." She shifted on her jacket, covering up James with a blanket. "So you can be civil, but don't expect me to play buddy buddy with your new wife or just slide in like one of the family." She winced suddenly, her hand going to her temple - she hated these migrains but just wrote them off to stress. (NT) -- Fiona, 23:08:40 10/25/04 Mon
  • he sighed and slumped his shoulders "Well if that's the way it's going to be then fine.....but I want to still be able to see my son" (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:10:49 10/25/04 Mon
• "Fine." She paused a moment to let her eyes slid shut before she bit her lip and picked up the carrier - there seemed to be nothing else to say here. (NT) -- Elena, 23:12:00 10/25/04 Mon
  • "You'll be hearing from me then" was all he could say, what was left? (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:17:53 10/25/04 Mon
• She nodded, gently wrapping her hand over her eyes before she rested the carrier in the crook of her arm. "Good bye, Lochlan." She stated heading for the door. (NT) -- Elena, 23:22:14 10/25/04 Mon
  • "Bye Elana" he said, walking her to the door. Watching her walk away with his son was one of the hardest things he'd had to do (NT) -- Lochlan, 23:36:09 10/25/04 Mon
