• He'd had a decent day at work and wasn't about to complain about an easy day so he was in a good mood when he came through the door and greeted everyone along the way to the room that had kinda just turned into theirs and smiled when he saw her there. "Hey darlin'." He stated with a wink as he tugged his shirt over his head and tossed it onto the bed, running a hand over his abs before he leaned down to drop a kiss to the top of her head. "I need to grab a shower, you wanna go out to eat tonight? I was thinking maybe Carabba's..." He shrugged a little, looking over his shoulder at her briefly before he turned to find a clean pair of boxers and jeans. (NT) -- Joey, 11:59:26 03/09/06 Thu

• She glanced up as he came in, sitting up on the bed and drawing a breath as she let him chatter on- not really taking in anything that he said "I had to have a pregnancy test today" She watched him a moment longer before she let her golden hued eyes fall, just staring down at the end of the bed absently. She couldn't bring herself to say it. it would just make it far too real. She had finally allowed herself to fall for him- given herself to him completely- and now this was just going to ruin it and he was going to run a mile. She knew how these things went.

• He straightened his back slowly as those words sunk in and made his brows knit together thoughtfully. Just as slowly, he turned around to face her, his head cocked to the side as he let out a soft breath and cleared his throat. "And...?" He wasn't sure that he even wanted to hear the answer to that, this wasn't the time or the place to be thinking about having a baby and his little Nina was so young, to young for that sort of thing. He'd thought they were being safe.... (NT) -- Joey, 13:49:28 03/09/06 Thu

  ---

• They were being safe... thats what made this all the more unfair. It wasn;t either of their fault. "And... I am." She lifted her gace back up to her, her golden eyes shining slightly with the hint of tears, waiting for him to yell at her or storm out- never to be seen again. She would never believe that of her Joey- he was far too responsible and caring- but she had never had to tell him she was pregnant before- and she knew he had a temper under all his silent brooding. "I'm sorry... I don;t know how... I don;t understand" (NT) -- Nina, 13:54:54 03/09/06 Thu

  ---

• His hand lifted up to rake through his hair as he let out a soft breath and cleared his throat, his eyes closing as his head tipped back. "I thought we were being safe." He stated, his eyes dropping down to her. He should have just stuck with commitment from earlier in the relationship not to sleep with her till she was eighteen - then they wouldn't be in this situation. It wasn't that he didn't like kids, it was more like he was trying to raise eight of them already in the house and just couldn't handle anymore responsibility, plus, Nina...she just wasn't ready to be a full time mom... (NT) -- Joey, 11:26:16 03/29/06 Wed

  ---

• She frowned a touch at that and shrugged her shoulders "So did I... I'm on the pill... I didn't do it on purpose or anything, its not my fault." She watched him with almost accusing, wary eyes, setting her jaw softly. She didn't want kids any more than he did- she had always vowed never to have them - not after the hellish childhood she had had. She far to young anyway- and so was Joey- they shouldn;t have to be thinking about the responsibilities of kids. "I'll sort it out, don;t worry" (NT) -- Nina, 11:31:23 03/29/06 Wed

  ---

• His eyes widen at the immediate way she got defensive and he shook his head a bit, his brow furrowed. "Hey, no one was saying it was your fault Nina." Her getting all defensive put him on the offensive and he took a step back, his eyes watching her almost equally warily. "Your going to take care of it?" He questioned, his head cocked. "Nina..." He wasn't sure he wanted her to go through the emotional pain of an abortion either, damn, this was all a little bit much to take in at once and he was feeling suddenly overwhelmed. (NT) -- Joey, 11:35:54 03/29/06 Wed

  ---

• She frowned and pushed her curls back from her face, closing her eyes momentarily "Well thats what you want isn't it? Thats whats best?" She looked up at him again from the bed, her brow furrowed softly in confusion and helplessness- she was out of her depth in this situation. "We're too young for this. We have too much to work through yet.... we can;t have a baby." Could they? (NT) -- NIna, 13:07:08 03/29/06 Wed

  ---

• "Is that what I said I wanted?" He questioned bitingly, his brow furrowed as he crossed his arms over his still bare chest, having not yet shrugged on his hoodie. He didn't like the way she was just making assumptions about how he would feel regarding all of this. He had never been a supporter of abortion unless it was a unique situation like a rape or the baby had something wrong with it - he definately didn't think it should be used as a form of birthcontrol. The arguement that they were to young to have a kid didn't make sense to him either, if they were to young to procreate then they shouldn't have been sleeping together in the first place which was why he had held out on it so long... (NT) -- Joey, 13:38:35 04/04/06 Tue

  ---

• She frowned as he bit his comment back and frowned at her, easing herself up off the bed and squaring up to him in her usual defensive mode- her own temper kicking in as they made this yet another arguement. "Don't get mad at me," She snapped hotly, her brow furrowed accusingly "I'm just trying to make this easy for you, I've never had to deal with this before ok?" She didn;t want him to slip back into his reclusive depressed state he had gotten in when Lysia had killed herself- she didn;t want to put on him any more than she could help- and she didn;t want to drive him away. She'd seen first hand what happened to people when they had kids- her own parents had been a shining example of how to do it all wrong. She was terrified- and he wasn;t helping to reassure her. (NT) -- Nina, 13:53:38 04/04/06 Tue

• "Well, neither have I, Nina." He growled out, raking his hand through his hair. He tended to be a very moody person and chances were good that he would get grumpy and morose for awhile after this announcement was thrown out there. After a seconds hesitation he shook his head, his gaze narrowed. "You can't just get rid of it, it's our responsibility." If she just got rid of the child..he honestly couldn't see himself every being intimate with her again because obviously she wasn't mature enough to handle the consequences of it. He hated feeling like the grown up in a relationship, they had both been forced to grow up fast... (NT) -- Joey, 14:01:31 04/04/06 Tue

  ---

• She folded her arms and turned away from him, letting out a tempered growl of frustration as she pushed her curls back from her face, trying to calm her temper. She was just trying to do what she thought he would want- she hadn;t even given a thought to what she wanted. She bl9inked back the tears that stung her eyes, refusing to let them fall before she turned around to face him "I wouldn;t do that unless thats what you wanted me to do Joey. I just don't want to loose you." She spoke plainly, trying to be strong as she met his gaze unsurely- confused and afraid. She wondered how some girls dealt with this over and over again- she never wanted to have to go through this again. (NT) -- Nina, 14:06:43 04/04/06 Tue

  ---

• He bit his lip at that, his brow furrowed a little before he dropped down to sit on the edge of the couch, letting his head fall into his hands as he took a deep breath. "Forget about what I want for a second, Nina, think about what you want. What do you want to do about being pregnant?" He questioned honestly when he finally looked up and leveled his gaze at her, his head cocked to the side as he tried to figure out what could possibly be going through her mind. (NT) -- Joey, 14:21:29 04/04/06 Tue

• > -- Nina, 14:30:38 04/04/06 Tue
  • He nodded a little bit, letting out a soft breath before he let his back fall down against the bed, so that his feet were still on the floor but he was laying down. "I don't think we could be either..." He murmured softly, his head cocked to the side. "I am not saying its going to be easy by any means Nina..baby your so young..but your strong..you know? We're strong together...I think we could make this work." he offered her a shaky smile, still a little confused by it all but willing to work at it, hell, he would be willing to do almost anything for her. (NT) -- Joey, 14:35:16 04/04/06 Tue

  ---

• She set her jaw determindly and nodded, moistening her lips a little. he was right- she was strong- and so was he. With him she sometimes felt like she could do almost anything. With his last sentence she felt a huge weight lift from her shoulders- a curtain of dread being drawn back at the realisation she didn;t have to book herself into a clinic and 'sort it out' herself. She didn;t think she could have ever looked him in the face again if he's asked her to do that- but she would have done it- for him. She drew a deep breath and let her gaze linger over his, allowing herself to return the shakey smile as she felt the emotion of the ordeal flood through her. She stood and crossed the room to him, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand as she moved down into the bed beside him, curling to his side."I think so too" (NT) -- Nina, 14:46:31 04/04/06 Tue

  ---

• He reached over to draw her into the curve of his body, his hand moving to rest on her stomach. "We'll figure something out...I mean, it's not like we don't have the room..." He stated with a small smirk and a shrug, his eyes moving over hers as he tried to lighten the moment a little bit. "A lot of the older kids are getting ready to get their own places, I mean, Kaden and Ella already got their own place and I think Rio is hopin' to get a place for him and Jackie soon...I just don't know if we are going to be getting any more new arrivals..." He tried to keep in contact with people at the center, see if anyone coming out needed a place to stay so they didn't just get thrown back into the system... (NT) -- Joey, 10:17:13 04/09/06 Sun

  ---

• A soft smirk flickered at her lips as she glanced up at him, he succeeded in lightening the mood. She stretched out on her back and let her hands rest on her stomach, letting her golden eyes drift down to her flat belly "Right... and maybe one day we can get a place of our own." She smirked almost teasingly at him, letting her head fall to the side so she could glance over at him- she knew he was the complete mother hen of this place- and he's never leave it until there was either someone there to take his place or until everyone else had found their feet and their own places. (NT) -- Nina, 11:26:26 04/09/06 Sun

• He smirked at that, knowing it was next to impossible for him to ever get away from here. He loved this house, he had put a lot of blood and sweat into it and he wanted to be able to enjoy it even if it wasn't always full of kids. At least now it would always contain his family, besides he didn't know what he would do if Jason was more then a hallway away from him. "We need to get you to the docs..." He stated absently, thinking a head as usual, he liked to have a plan and stick to it, making sure no detail was missed... (NT) -- Joey, 12:35:51 04/09/06 Sun
