"Well, if i ripped it off i'd runi my hoodie" He smiled. "...Is he worried i'll abuse them like my father did?...nevermind don't answer i already know." He watched to see what Annora was doing as she compared hand sizes. "...uuh, thanks? I guess?" He chuckled and looked down into her eyes, which were looking right back up at him.

"I know it. And you will forgive me. I bring food and my own stunning and overwhelming charm. I will try to keep the neighbors from swooning, but I make no promises." Much of that was sarcastic, as he was certain Mason and the others knew. Derrik was arrogant, for sure and perhaps even rude, but conceited? That was simply not his style. He walked back toward his car, pleased with his newly acquired grocery couriers. It would have taken him forever to do it himself. And the colonel? Sheer dumb and beautiful luck; she would carry the groceries simply to further blur that line between male and female. He did not really understand it, but found it oddly cute.

With her free hand she reached up and stroked his cheek, while the hand with his gripped his hand and stroked his thumb. "You won't abuse our child. I know you won't." She smiled and looked into his eyes stroking his cheek gently. "And if you rip it off I would take that as a sexual gesture." She gleamed at him trying not to giggle.

Colleen burst out into laughter, though still went about opening one of the side-doors and grabbing two handfuls of groceries; Five bags a hand. Thank goodness for loop-handles. Her laughing having died down, she walked back into the house, dropping the bags off on the counter. As she repeated the process, she spoke to Derrik. "So how've you been?" A thought struck her rather randomly, though a true one. I feel very male today. That's odd. Colleen blinked a few times at the thought. Just another thing to confuse her.

John laughed. "I kinda thought you would. I'll go get dressed and we can go to the store k'?" John got up and went to the dresser. He took off his pajama pants and put on some jeans. He grabbed a T-shirt with a Bullet for my valentine logo on it. He dug through another drawer and got the Scary kids Scaring kids hoodie he found when moving into Annora's room. He quickly zipped it up and went to the bed helping Anne up. "Ok baby lets go." He said as he pulled her in for a kiss.

Annora fell back on the bed and groaned lightly. Turning her head she watched John undress and blushed. "Cute butt." She said softly smiling at him. Being pulled up and into a kiss, Annora leaned into him and locked her arms around his neck pulling him into a deeper kiss falling back on the bed. After a few minutes she let him go and smiled at him. "That was for not ripping the hoodie off." She pushed him up and got up with him taking his hand and started to walk downstairs. "Lets go shopping!" She giggled and squeezed his hand opening their bedroom door.

"Entirely too busy. I've barely even seen my parents over the past couple of days. I am not exactly certain where all my time keeps going, but it had better damn well slow down and let me enjoy it sometime soon." It might have helped if Derrik had at least left his nights free, but the draw of dancing for a roomful of eager men had become too thrilling to resist. It was addictive like caffeine or nicotine. The money wasn't bad either; it had bought this car full of groceries he was helping to empty, albeit at a slower rate than the overachieving Colonel. "At least I have the rest of today free, I think. What have I missed?"

John blushed a little when Annora commented him on his butt. He felt her arms around his neck pulling him. Then he fell down on the bed with Annora. He smiled when she talked about the hoodie. "Now, don't get to excited and buy a million things. There is still the baby shower and we only have one car." He got up with her locking his fingers with her's. They walked downstairs to see and bunch of people at the door. He peered between Lila and colleen to see Derrick standing there. "Hey, look it's Derrick.

Colleen nodded in understanding with a quiet chuckle. I still gotta pick up that bike today. Oh well. I'll do it after a good meal, I think. She shook her head slightly, shaking herself from her thoughts so she could respond. She worked in silence, carrying in the last of the groceries as she thought up a response. Or atleast attempted to. Aside from nearly everyone being here, I don't really know what would be considered 'new'. Guess my brain's a little screwy today. That's all she could really think of. So, that's exactly what she said.

She screamed and ran to Derrick. "Derrick!" She jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly. "Where have you been?!" She squealed and hugged him. "I can't stay and chit chat. John and I are going to go shopping. Everyone." She walked back and took John's hand. "I'm pregnant." She stopped and waited for everyone's reaction.

Derrik laughed softly, even that changing his expression only very slightly. He would have commented on Colleen being 'screwy', but just then found himself tackled by another girl, just barely shortly than himself. Again he very nearly ate dirt, but managed to stay on his feet. Now seemed the time for a continuation of his pornography humor, but Ana's comment had taken him by surprise.
His eyebrows lifted a small fraction and he blinked once, slowly. It would take the house crashing down in front of them to elicit much more of a reaction out of him. He was quiet for a long moment, considering, calculating, letting the news marinate in his brain. Finally he replied with a simple "Congratulations. I really did miss quite a bit over the last couple of days." Derrik glances toward John. There was more silent contemplation, weighing and measuring. But on his face grew that small, polite smile of his.

Colleen's right eyebrow rose highly, as she just stood for a moment in silence. Smiling sincerely, she leaned against the counter with her right elbow on the countertop. "Congrats." Pausing for a moment, she continued to smile though a flicker of curiosity appeared in her amber eyes. "How long? If you don't mind my asking." Her gaze shifted onto John. Raising her left hand, she mimicked the action of tipping ones hat, wearing a grin.

Nathan giggled at Mason as she left. He finally finished putting his piercings. He walked over to his junk drawer, where he kept all his belongings like his pills and his rings and beeper. He took out his rings and his bottle of black eyeliner and went back to the bathroom. After putting his rings on and applying the liner, Nathan heard a bunch of noise from down stairs. He left his room and walked down to the living room. "Damn. Now I know what Annie ment about us being noise. You guys sound like a heard of bulls stampeading through the streets of Spain." Nathan giggled at his little analogy. Then, he saw him. Derrik. Who looked much better than he remembered, and shorter than he remembered, aswell. Though, Nathan was always the second tallest in the group, right behind John. "Hey, Derrik." Suddenly, with those two words being said, Nathan went into total flirt mode, and he couldn't help it. Thats just the way he was. He flirted with just about anyone person outside his family, now including Annora and all of her family. It was kind of like second nature. And usually it wasn't this intense. It was actually a bit notticable, if you took the time and study Nathan for a bit. "Mmm...food." Nathan said as he walked to the conter next to Collen. "This for us?" He asked Derrik, a little of the Grace family Charm in his voice. After his dad died, Nathan's uncle, his dad's brother, became the closest father figure. He was the one who told him about the Grace family and their ways. Charm, was one of them.

"Oh no, it is all for me. I just get my jollies by spreading it over the counter for the rest of you to see. I will lie awake at night fantasizing about all the disappointed faces. Of course it is for us, Nathan." In fact, food sounded like a good idea right now. Derrik went to the bags of groceries and started rummaging for the ingredients he would need; the rest of his things could wait a while longer. Was it just him or was Nathan behaving strangely? Almost like a pretty girl who knew she could get her drink for free if she smiled just so at the right man. Now that made no sense at all, Derrik silently reprimanded himself. Maybe he was getting a little too used to every man in a room staring at him like meat. One thing he could count on; there would be none of that here.
"I hope every one likes tortellini because we are having it tonight. I doubt any of you have a great enough love for cooking or hate for tortellini to drag me away kicking and screaming." And just like that, the announced pregnancy was a thing of the past, an accepted part of normal life. An interesting anecdote that took a back burner to preparing dinner with a side of sarcasm.

I watched in happiness and slightly moved out of the way of the stampede of girls and just smiled lightly on the side lines. Sighs, another best friend slash old crush... "I don't see why you guys say Rick is short. I'm still shorter than him and so is Cole if she would take off her boots." I organized the grocery as it came in. It just didn't seem right for me to glomp him like the others. Because I knew, he wasn't into people like me ad I still had a... thing for him. I nodded happily at Ann's news and seemed happy for her. Rick beat me to make dinner and I just looked at him and asked, "Can I help, oh, great chef?"
