Brooklyn bit her lip as Jeremy started chasing Snowflake. She didn't have to worry though, as snow was definitely holding her own. She ran around and started jumping up to where Jeremy couldn't get her. She made a big run and jumped to the kitchen table, just barely making it. However, she found out that the chair wasn't too far away. Snow jumped down and then jumped on the floor before running underneath the couch. Brooke shook her head and raised an eyebrow. "Well, he'll learn the hard way then."
Ryder tapped her on the shoulder before laughing. "Yes sweetie, it has to deal with her being sick." He squeezed her shoulder and sat down on the stool next to her. He didn't know who was going to say it, but then when he went to say it, they ended up doing it at the same time.
"We're pregnant."

Leaf chased jeremy as he slid off the counter and after snowflake, belles started wriggling to get down, so forrest was in the process of letting the large pup down when her mom and dad spoke, she blinked at them, staring, the puppy slide free from ehr arms and ran off after jeremy, leaf stood still, staring, not at his parents but at forrest, watching her reactions, her features, feeling for her emotions, when he felt none he blinked, usually something like this would send her off the rails "your having a baby?" came her whispered response

Brooklyn watched the two of them, trying to figure out what they were thinking. "Yes, I am. I'm a little over two months." She smiled softly. It didn't seem like any emotion was coming through and Brooke wasn't too sure how she felt about that. Leaf was paying more attention to Forrest than what they had just said. She but her lip and tried to think of something else to say. The dogs were playing in the other room while everything in the kitchen went silent.

"so i'm going to be a big sister?" forrest asked, taking it alot better then her brother expected "you ok with that forrest?" leaf asked slowly, the dogs had gone quiet, standing in the door tails wagging "your not gonna... you know?" Forrest shot him a look "i'm not a baby" she snapped, then her tone softened when she saw his face "i'm sorry" something she never said, she looked at her brother "i'm really sorry" she looked between all three of them

If there was anything that Brooklyn was nervous about, it was bringing a baby into this house, for this reason. She sighed and looked up at Ryder who was watching intently over at Leaf and Forrest. They never used to fight and now it seemed that it was all they did. Brooke put her hand over her stomach as it grumbled at her again. "I'm gonna..." Brooke got up and went down the hall, skidding into the bathroom before shutting the door. She barely made it in time.
Ry bit his lip and let her go. "She wasn't this bad with the two of you." He was hoping to lighten the mood. He nodded at Forrest's apology. "What are you sorry for?"

Forrest watched her mom run out the room, she was silent for a few moments before she answered her dad "everything.... may i be excused?" she got off her seat, picked up her pup who took all of her arm space and went upstairs "should we go after her?" leaf asked "i dont think she'd do anything with the dog there" he chewed his lip "or check on mom? if she gets any worse should we take her to the hospital?

Ryder shook his head. "No, she'll be okay. It's just morning sickness. She didn't get it wtih you guys but it's getting her hard now." He smiled weakly but was really upset that Forrest had once again gone away whenever something happened. Brooklyn hadn't left because Forrest had apologized, she had left because her stomach was making her have to puke. He sighed. "I love your sister, Leaf, but I wish I knew what she was doing. Brooke isn't mad at her, she had to puke." He sat down on the stool and rested his chin on his hand. He closed his eyes as he thought. "How is she going to handle a new baby?"

Leaf sighed "i think it was more she was mad at me, thinking i was calling her a baby" he rubbed his hand over his face "she might jsut needed the bathroom, dont think it was to do with mom" he frowned, clear he wasnt sure, he looked at his dad "she's trying"
Meanwhile, upstairs, Forrest changed ehr bandages and noticed one of her stitches had popped, the bandages were red inside, she frowned, left the one that had popped on and got the cleaning stuff and fresh bandage, her puppy followed her all around, she came back downstairs "daddy i got an owie, i dont member it hurting though" she held out the bandaged wrist "maybes i did it when i dixed the pavement" leaf watched his sister "you're meant to take it easy forrest" he said softly "i know" she said back "but it was hard to walk down all broken, and i wanted it to be nice... for mommy and daddy and you" her lip trembled, thinking they were going to yell at her "i didnt mean to"

Ryder looked down at her wrist and sighed softly. He walked over to the cupboard and grabbed out the first aid kit. They had gotten one that came with everything in case either one of them tried to cut themselves again. Like mother, like daughter. He patted the stool and waited for her to sit down before working on her wrist. "We're not mad, Forrest. Fixing up the pavement was nice of you." Ry smiled as he started to clean up her wound and repair the broken stitch. He glanced up at leaf momentarily, hearing the bathroom door open as he did so.
Out came Brooklyn, her hair a mess and her face looking pale again. "Tell me again why pregnancy is a good thing?" Her voice was a muffled whisper as she walked back into the kitchen holding her stomach. She hated looking like this, especially in front of Ryder. She moved her hair out of her face and yawned as she glanced at the cleaning stuff. "Pop another one?" Brooke chuckled softly. She heard the pitter patter of little feet come running into the kitchen and her face lit up as snowflake came and sat down on her foot.
There was worry written all over her face, to anyone that really knew her. She didn't know how Forrest was going to handle a baby in the picture, or how she was going to handle Brooke being pregnant. Things would be different, especially after the baby was born, and truthfully, she was more than afraid to bring it into this world.

Forrest sat on the stool, very still while her dad fixed her wrist for her "i was getting somethings ffrom my room" she said, she was kind of rambling, her babbles getting faster "For, slow down we can't understand you" leaf said softly making his sister stop and blink at him "we can get mint ice cream at the park?" she asked him, her mind momentarily distracted, Leaf gave her a big grin "course we can, with a chocolate flake too" Forrest smiled brightly, her first genuine smile in months "mommy if its a girl what are you going to call it?" she looked at her moms tummy under the hood then remembered, she reached into her own hoodie and pulled out a pink baby grow and a blue one "i thought maybe you;d like these... so baby can wear them like me and leaf did"

Brooklyn tried to keep track of Forrest's rambling, but most of the time it didn't work that way. When she finally got back on track, she smiled. "I'm not sure yet, your dad and I have to talk about it still." She was touched that Forrest wanted her to use the stuff that Ryder had once used for them. Brooke smiled and reached out to grab them from her. "Thank you, of course ill use them. Are you hoping for a girl already?"
Part of her knew that Forrest wouldn't hurt the baby, but the nagging part was being negative. It showed in her eyes to Ryder and probably to Leaf, who could easily here whatever was running through her mind at any given time. Brooklyn looked down at her stomach, there was nothing there yet, but soon enough, she would.

"if its a girl you could call it river so it matches me and leafs names" she rambled on for a bit longer, but shortly got distracted by a piece of shiny paper in the medical box "me have?" she asked her dad "pretty please?" Leaf rolled his eyes and laughed at his sister but his gave was going back to his mom, he spoke silently to her shes excited about it mom he shot her a smile "if you like for, we can buy lots of shiny paper when we're out, maybe you could make a pretty picture for mom and dad, get them to put it on the fridge like dad used to?" Forrest nodded "can i? really?!"

"River? That's a nice name. I'll think about it. I'd need a boy name too, just in case." Brooklyn smiled, she was glad that Forrest was trying to communicate more now. It was unusual but she liked it. She unzipped the hoodie to let some air in as she grabbed her ginger ale again. She drank the rest of it and walked over to the living room, snowflake following close behind. Brooke sat down in the recliner and grabbed her penguin blanket before snowflake jumped up and cuddled into her.
"You can buy some paper when you go out." Brooke hollered so that they could hear her. If she was laying down, she didn't have the want to puke and that was a good feeling. She closed her eyes and reclined the chair back as she pet the fluffy little white blob next to her.
For now, but will she be when it's here? When I can't pay attention to her and Ryder can't? Then what? Only being telepathic with Leaf was a blessing. They could have conversations without anyone hearing and it made her feel better. She was able to talk about her problems.

Forrest sat in thought, her eyes growing distant as she withdrew inside herself to think, her fingers drummed gently on the table and she started that soft humming she did when she wasn't fully here, she jumped up suddenly, ran after her mom and bounced on the balls of her feet infront fo the recliner "what bout lake for a boy?" she started babbling again, talking to fast she couldn't be understood by anyone, her fingers fiddled with her shirt hem, her eyes bright, almost feverish.
Leaf watched Forrest and sighed then almost fell over as she bounded off into the living room, he looked a this dad and shrugged "i think she's in a better mood" he said softly. i'll have to pay attention to her so she doesnt notice, maybe include her in things with the baby, changing diapers, taking him or her out for walks in the pram, that sorta thing, she likes to sing, let her sing lullabyes he loved being able to talk to his mom in this special way, it was something only she and him had, and that was rare.

Brooklyn laid on her side on the recliner and kept the blanket over her and the puppy. She smiled at Forrest when she bounced into the living room. Truthfully, naming the baby some out there name wasn't really her style, but she liked that Forrest was trying. She ran a hand through her hair as the other one petted the dog. She was leaning more towards Raine or Autumn for a girl. Raine would fit in with the other two names, and autumn would fit in for seasonal purposes. "You having fun?"
Ryder laughed, "I sure hope so. Can't handle a pregnant girl and a temperamental Forrest." His voice was just a whisper at the end, so that Leaf was the only one who could hear. He stretched as he stood up from the stool and made his way into the living room, sitting next to Forrest on the couch.
i don't know leaf. It's gonna take me some time before I let her be alone with it. Brooke knew she could be honest with Leaf, and that was one of the benefits. Even if it was about his sister, she felt that she could get things off of her chest without anyone knowing.
