She played with his a bit as she answered.
"I don't want to tempt fate by testing to see how sick I can get without eating..."
She only did that once and it wasn't fun. Being pregnant only enhanced the hunger.

Song shook her head and said nothing. She couldn't open her mouth without the want to say exactly what was on her mind and in her heart. As much as she respected Arioch and Joe, and cared for both, she couldn't deny that they both frustrated her. She allowed herself to say only one thing, and it would probably sound cryptic.
"Opinions are one thing....recognition is another." She spoke barely above a whisper, bringing her knees up to hug them to her chest, using the end of her sleeve to wipe away the remains of her meditative tears. She felt the undeniable want to leave.....to get away from the stress and the people involved in it, including herself. Heaving a heavy sigh, she rested her mouth against her knees, hoping it would keep her from saying anything more that would cause animosity.

Arioch blinked as her words confused him. He'd consider them later as he scooped her up into his arms and lap and kissed her cheek.
"I'm sorry..."

Song blinked a bit in shock when he picked her up and put her in his lap, but she snuggled into his chest, welcoming the embrace.
"It's alright. I shouldn't have said anything." She sighed a bit and wrapped her arms around him, hoping that things were being straightened out inside.

Arioch smiled and brushed a kiss to her temple again. Right now he felt okay to leave Joe with Raven. Raven was smart when she didn't allow her hormones to take control.
A small thought occured to him and they both could use some rest. He held her close and rose up on his feet and walked away from everything to take her to his room for a little fun and rest...

A week later and Alexis was feeling better as far as the pregnancy went. Headphones were over her ears and she was in living room, dancing away as if she wasn't pregnant. Of course, her choice attire helped her remind her she was with child, given she wasn't in a corset but a simple t-shirt, probably one she had snatched from one of the men in the house, perhaps her father's or uncle's...
A small thought of going shopping with Andras to shop for some outfits for him, at least to wear while her father was around, didn't seem like a bad idea. At least while they shopped for clothing, she could shop for things she might need for the baby she carried.
A smile was on her face as she moved about, not missing a beat to the music she listened too and constantly moving, oblivious to anyone who might enter the room.

Thus far, he had managed to behave and stay out of Raven's way as much as that was possible, given that he was currently staying with Arioch so as to avoid the great evil known as Domina Molestia, so that Raven could have a chance to work things out with Jay, who, he thought, made a much better partner for her than he did.
He had just finished getting a coffee and was about to enjoy it in the living room when he noticed his daughter dancing about there. He smiled and stoped in the doorframe, silently watching her as he had his coffee. It was good to see her look carefree and young.
He watched her a little longer, then made his way over to her and tapped her on the shoulder, taking a step back so as to avoid getting his coffee spilled.
Whilst coffee did a lousy job when it came to stilling his hunger, but it made the hunger more bearable and gave him greater control over his needs, and in this house, he needed that control more than ever.

Being caught up in her dancing and music, jumped when he tapped her shoulder. When she came back in the middle of a step, she lost balance and fell, landing hard with a yelp.
Her ankle twisted and without anyone else knowing about it, the baby lost connection to its mother. She closed her eyes and bit her lip, her ankle throbbing with pain.
The headphones came off when she fell, falling around her neck. She glanced up to see who it was that had tapped her shoulder. Seeing it was her father, she gave an almost forced smile.
"Nice timing, dad." She said softly, her voice laced with the pain from the ankle. Her abdomin hurt some but she didn't think of it otherwise.

"s**t"
He hadn't meant to scare her, well, he had, he just didn't mean to make her fall over and hurt herself.
He knelt next to her, giving her a hug as he asked the obvious.
"How bad is it?"

She took a deep breath before she tried standing only to bite back tears and sit back down.
"My ankle's bad..." She answered, hugging him back.

He put his coffee down in order to not let go of her and still have a free hand to check on her ankle.
"This is going to hurt.. "
He warned her as he ran his hand down her leg and lift her foot up a bit in order to ascertain how bad it was exactly.

She continued to bite her lip as he examined her ankle. Her ankle swelled and barely started to turn color. She glanced at her dad, the pain barely touching her face.
"It's bad?"

He looked at her and smiled.
"You're not gonna walk around on it for a bit, that's for sure"
It looked sore, but didn't appear to be broken, for which he was grateful. The only problem for him right now was that she was pregnant and that meant half the painkillers he'd normally give her were out, apart from the fact that Arioch's first aid kit was nowhere near as well stocked as his own.
He then scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the lounge where he carefully placed her.
"Got any idea what painkiller I can offer you?"

She shook her head.
"No...but ice would feel great."
She said, smiling a little. She wasn't sure about pain killers as this typically didn't happen and she would often sleep it off, yet with the baby she wasn't so sure.

"That works"
He then dissapeared back to the kitchen and got the ice pack out of the freezer, before grabbing a tea towel and returning to his daughters side with both, placing the ice pack into the tea towel before carefully placing it onto her ankle.
