Forrest wandered down the rubbled path she called her street, a newfoundland pup on a lead bobbing beside her, her parents had let her and her brother get a dog each, she'd picked th ebiggest breed, for no reason other then 'it looked so cute in the shop'. Leaf had picked a german shepard, he spent most of his time now training him in the garden, forrest dropped her hand and stroked the dogs ears, even though it was only 8 weeks old it was the size of a young labrador, she loved her dog, a girl, she named her Arabella, Belles for short.
Forrest was alot calmer after her suicide attempt and ehr heart to heart with her mom and dad. She had bandages round her throat still, hiding the damage the rope and surgery had caused, her wrists were still bandaged, the stitches having popped several times since they were done, she let out a sigh and glanced at the pale green leash on the dogs sparkly collar, hidden under its fur, she rubbed belles ears again and walked her down the smoothest part of the pavement, wondering how much it would cost to repair.

It had been a little while since everything broke lose in the Vasic household. Things had gotten pretty crazy, but now they were finally relaxing again. Brooklyn hadn't thought about cutting herself anymore but the scars were still lining her hips. The stitches were out but they still had the bright redness to them that meant they were only a few weeks old. They had allowed the kids to get animals, thinking that it would allow them to relax when people weren't home. In Brooke's mind, it allowed Forrest to really be herself around something that would never betray her. Plus, the animals weren't too much of a burden in the household. They were clean for the most part; and the house was a decent size.
Brooklyn had started a new job, but today she had called in sick. For the past week or two, she had been throwing up a lot. She didn't really understand why because she knew there was no infection, as the wound had already healed and she had seen the doctor a few times already. She sighed as she laid in her bed, Ryder had been taking pretty good care of her over the past couple days that she had been too sick to work. It was almost like nothing ever happened, although, the events still showed on Forrest's body.
Pregnancy had never crossed Brooke's mind, as she had never had morning sickness when she was pregnant with Forrest and Leaf. She groaned as she turned onto her side, feeling ready to puke again just at the thought of what the doctors had told her just an hour ago. When Brooklyn and Ryder had come home, Forrest wasn't there and Leaf was once again in the backyard, training his beloved puppy.
Perfect timing. The thought went through her mind as she ran to their bathroom again to throw up. Her stomach was bothering her and she could barely hold down any of her food. A small whimper came out of her as she finished. It had been so long since she had a baby inside of her, so long that she could barely even remember the feeling. This time would be different though, this time she would be alive for all of it, even if it meant staying in her house and not going anywhere for the majority of time.
Downstairs, Ryder made his way out back. "Hey! Where's your sister at?"

Leaf was training his pup, already having the commands sit and lay down perfect, now he was teaching the pup to roll over, but spent most the time laughing, the puppy licking at his face "easy boy" he said fondly rubbing the dogs head, he'd named his dog Jeremy, nicknaming him jerbear. He had noticed his mom was being sick alot and was worried she had some virus, so he stayed out the house while he could to let her rest in the peace and quiet, he's not really spent much time wiht Forrest since the hospital, she was very distant with them all lately. Leaf jumped out of his thoughts hearing his dads voice "er...." he thought for a minute "she took belles for a walk, should be back anymore moment actually" leaf stood up, lifting the pup into his arms.
Forrest was standing on the steps to their house, the pup sat beside her, tail lashing back and forht, beating a steady rythmn on her leg, she giggled and held her hands out, concentrating so hard that sweat beaded on her forehead, she clenched her fists, one stitch popped but hardly bled, she smiled, looking at the pavement outside their house, she'd repaired a good 50 yards on both sides.

Brooklyn stayed up in the bathroom for a few minutes before she wiped down her face with some body wash and shook her head as she looked at her reflection. "I do not remember pregnancy being this awful." Her stomach started to grumble again, but she ignored it. Not wanting to give it the satisfaction that it was apparently looking for. She ran her hand over it as he grabbed a hoodie from the closet. It was black and had a nice, crafty, pin up doll on the back. It was from her friends tattoo shop, the place that she worked. She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, she was starving but she knew her stomach wouldn't hold it.
Ryder watched them and smiled. He knew that Leaf and her weren't as close as they were before she tried to kill herself, but they had their dogs now. Ry nodded. "If you see her, we have something to talk to you guys about, alright?" Ryder was in an unbelievably good mood, whereas, Brooklyn was not. Then again, Ryder didn't have to carry the baby.

"sure" Leaf said nuzzling his dog "oh dad, i thought maybe me and forrest could go down the park later together, maybe spend some time together just me and her, you know... i...." he sighed and shook his head "if you and mom are ok with it that is"
Forrest came inside, let belles off the leash and watched her pad into the kitchen, Forrest giggled, bouncing after her, her voice was still damaged from the op on her wind pipe but she didn't let it bother her, she stopped int he doorway of the kitchen, she saw her mom and a smile came to her face "hi mommy, how you feeling?" she asked, walking to the cupoboard and getting a glass, she had to stand on tip toes to reach but then got on and set it ont he table, it was aplastic one, bright green, she then got some juice from the fridge and poured it into the glass putting the juice away and then sipping her juice "wheres daddy and leaf?"

Ryder looked at Leaf carefully. Unsure of why he sounded so unhappy all of the sudden. He shrugged. "I don't see why that would cause any harm. You'll be fine to take her if you want to." He smiled and watched the dog. German Shepherds were Ryder's favorite, especially in puppy form. He ran a hand through his hair. "You okay?"
Brooke jumped when she heard Forrest behind her. She hadn't even noticed the dog running in, that's how out of it she was. "Oh dear; you scared me." Brooke smiled weakly as she looked at her daughter. The hoodie felt good on her. She was pretty sure she had a fever from throwing up but then again, she had always had a fever with Leaf and Forrest as well. "I'm... Feeling like crap." Brooklyn's face was pale from throwing up but she didn't look too worn out yet. She grabbed out some carrots from the fridge and started to munch in them.

Leaf managed half a smile and nodded "yeah... i jsut... i feel like i've lsot her you know? she's so quiet, doesn;t tell me anything, she used to come and cuddle when she had a nightmare, ive heard her crying and screaming the night, but when i go in she just pretends to be asleep.... i think she's mad at me or something"
Forrest watched her mom, eyes studying her as she sipped her juice "there was a lady in the asylum, she used to have crackers when her tummy was bad, i member she gave me crackers once when i had a bad tummy..." she tilted her head some and looked over at belles as she ate her puppy food

Ryder nodded. "I can see that. She doesn't talk to anyone anymore really, just her dog and your mom." She barely came to him anymore and he really didn't know why. "The only thing I can guess is that she is mad at us for hanging out so much and leaving her out of the loop." Ry didn't like the idea but he knew it was probable. She had tried to kill herself just shortly after he had denied her something. The thought made him uneasy. He wanted to go inside to see if the girls were in yet but he wanted Leaf to get everything off his chest first.
Brooke smiled weakly, "Yeah. It's not for a stomach bug or anything. My stomach just hasn't felt up to par. No worries." She moved her hand down to her stomach and closed her eyes to avoid the sick feeling again. She grabbed the ginger ale that she had poured herself, hoping it would soothe her.

Leaf nodded a little "it's that or she's jsut withdrawing" he rubbed his temple and his pup yapped "i think jerbears hungry" he said managed a big smile for his dad and headed back to the house "thanks for listening dad, i like our talks" he opened the door watching the pup run inside, he waited for his dad
Forrest patted the stool next to her "sit with me mommy?" she asked softly, sipping her juice again, she set the glass down and squealed as belles jumped up into her arms, which made her laugh, trying to hold the pup up, but cause the dog was huge even as a pup, she ended up sitting with the puppy half on the counter, half on her lap

"No problem, Leaf, I like them too." Ryder smiled a hearty smile at his son. He walked back into the house as well and saw Brooklyn and Forrest at the breakfast bar eating and drinking. He smirked slightly to himself as he walked over towards them. The little Pomeranian that they had gotten for Brooklyn started to yap upstairs, unhappy that she wasn't allowed to come down here with the big dogs. "She's going to own these guys if you'd just let her out."
Brooke stuck her tongue out at him. "I don't need her scaring them to death before they're a year old! You know how pom's are." Territorial and cranky. Brooklyn loved her dog though. She was all white with such a furry fluff that you could barely see her legs. She had been the runt of the litter which is what pulled Brooke to her. However, she did have one patch of spotty gray over her left eye, which was why her name was snowflake. She had cost nearly 2,000 dollars, as she was pure bred.

"hi daddy, hi leaf" forrest said quietly, ruffling belles ears, the puppy yapped and lolled her head back onto forrests shoulder, she had her tongue hanging out, and was giving forrest upside down puppy eyes, Forrest giggled loudly nd kissed the dogs nose before drinking more of her juice
"hey forrest, you wanna take belles and jerbear to the park later with me? we can get ice cream" Leaf hoped she'd say yes, he watched her face, seeing no reaction "sure" came her reply after a few moments, Leaf glanced at teh ceiling, hearing his moms dog yapping "mama why can;t snowflake come down and play?" forrest asked softly, getting quiet again

Brooklyn watched her two kids, Leaf was trying and Forrest really wasn't. She sighed softly and looked up when Leaf did. "She's too little. She's the size of my hand. Your puppy would stomp on her on accident." She smiled and got up from the stool before going up the stairs. If they were going to ask about her, she might as well bring her down. Brooke got up the steps and grabbed up Snow. "Quit your yapping." She played with the fluff as she moved down the stairs and back over to the stool.
The puppy was placed on the counter top where she charged after Belles. Snowflake barked at her and jumped up and down before running back to Brooke. "There. But if you're going to take her with you guys tonight, she better be brought back alive." Brooke smiled after that and bit her lip as her stomach lurched again.
Ryder was standing by her side now, just in case the puppy decided to jump off. He felt Brooke's hand in his, squeezing softly. "Feeling sick again?" When he got a nod, he frowned and glanced over at the kids. "Should we tell them?"

"we can take her with us?" Forrest said excitedly. Leaf smiled brightly at his mom "we'll take care of her i promise" Forrest giggled loudly as belles let out a soft yap at the little dog, then flopped back against forrests shoulder, jerbear started whining fro a cuddle to so leaf pick him up and put him on her lap and stroked him till her rolled over onto his back and barked cutely.

Brooklyn ran a hand through her hair as she leaned against Ryder. She felt like throwing up after just eating a few carrots and a little ginger ale. She nodded and looked at their excitement. "She is to be brought back to me in one piece... Or we won't tell you our news." Brooke smiled softly as Ryder put his arm over her shoulders. Snowflake continued to hop around on the counter top. Sliding occasionally when she got to a slippery part of the counter.

"news?" they both said it at exactly the same time "hwat news?" leaf said watching "is it something to do with you being sick mama?" forrest asked, hey eyes concerned but distant, she let snowflake sniff her hand as belles snuffled at the smaller dog, then suddenly jerbear jumped on the counter and started chasing snowball, barking loudly, belles joined in the barking but forrest held her tight
