Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nyx purred happily, still unable to believe what was actually happening but the timing couldn't be better. She was sure that what was ahead of them wasn't going to be easy and it was going to work if they were willing to make a lifelong committment to each other. She wasn't sure what the future was going to hold for her or for them but being together would make everything so much easier for her, because she would have him and he was also she really needed.

She grinned, purring toward him "How could I say no though?" she giggled, rubbing her face against his hands. She laughed. "Knowing you I'm positive it wasn't easy to get, everything you ever do isn't easy, it's part of your personality!" she exlaimed. She took off the ring, rather reluctently and looked on the inside, her heard swelled when she read the inscription. "Oh Jiji, I have honestly never loved anymore more in my life either. From now on our lives are each others." she said, looking up at him and kissing him softly. She put the ring back on her finger and laughed, slightly nervously. "This family dinner is going to be very...informative isn't it?" she grinned.

Nyx laughed. "No isn't a very easy word to say to you though, you know that." she said, giggling as she spoke. She couldn't help but feel a huge relief. After all not only had she finally gotten to tell Jiji her huge secret but he didn't abandon her and leave her to deal with this on her own. Instead he asked her to marry him. They were going to he husband and wife. They were going to be a family.

Nyx laughed nerviously. "Haha I honestly promise nothing. I don't think my father will be too thrilled with the news of me getting married so I'm sure he'll flip his lid when I tell him I'm pregnant. After all he was always sure that he would atleast never have to deal with teenage pregnancy with me as a daughter!" she said and she couldn't help but laugh at it. "Mama wont be thrilled either I'm sure but she wasn't a whole lot older than I am now when she had me soI guess she can't be too horrid about it." she added, giggling as Jiji picked her up. She knocked on the door which left really wierd considering it was her own house.

Persy heard a knock on the door and shook her head. She was pretty sure that it was Nyx simply being silly turned around to open the door. Kieran had just spoken to her, telling her that an issue had come up and he had to leave, leaving the family dinner wittle down to herself, her daughter and her daughters boyfriend. She opened the door, seeing Jiji holding Nyx and raised an eyebrow. "Good evening you two!"

Nyx held onto Jijis hand quite tightly once she was put down, afraid that her mother would see the ring on her finger. She wasn't ready to show her mum the ring just yet, maybe wait atleast till dinner started. After all they needed to pace the news, make sure that the engagement was told first, then the other news. Atleast get the happier news out of the way first. After all the likelyhood was that they were eventually going to be married, or so Nyx had thought anyway. But pregnant? That was never supposed to happen, she was told that never could happen. Here it was though... "Is daddy around? He said he was going to join us for dinner." she asked, looking around.

"Good evening Jiji. It's always a pleasure to see you." Persy said with a smile, glancing over at Nyx, curious. She thought that she had seen something on Nyx' finger, but she thought that it might have just been the light. She looked on, curious for a second but moved on. "It looked quite cold out there this morning. I would say that it will most likely snow tonight." she said with a smile. "But you know you're going to have to keep a close eye on Nyx if it does snow. She gets lost in it!" the red head said with a giggle. She then turned to Nyx and smiled softly. "I'm afraid it's just us three tonight, your father had to cancel. Problems at work I'm afraid." she added, looking between the two. She then looked at Jiji. "Dinner will be ready in a few minutes if you two want to make yourselves comfortable."

Nyx squeezed Jijis hand tightly. She knew that he was nervous, obviously she was nervous as well but it was rare to see Jiji show any sign of nerves at all. The female couldn't help but think that she needed to be strong for them, after all she knew the news before him. She needed to be strong and actually tell her mother that this was happening. I mean after all it didn't matter now, everything was in motion now and nothing could be stopped. They were going to get married and she was going to have kittens. This was not going to be stopped and her mother needed to know that.

Nyx giggled as she was pulled closer to him. Everything was going to be alright eventually, she knew it. "I won't get lost! I'm a big girl now, that only happened when I was a baby!" she complained. "Though I suppose a bell would be cute all the same." she added. Persy got the food ready and placed in on the table, sitting down with them and smiling. "So tuck in guys." she said with a smile and starting to eat herself. The conversation stopped and Persy watched them curiously before smiling again. "So...any news?" she asked innocently. Nyx looked over at Jiji and nodded, trying to tell him that now would be a pretty good time to tell her.

Nyx glared at her mother slightly, but laughed all the same. Yeah she had gotten lost in the snow a few times when she was little but she was slightly bigger now and she was certainly less likely to get lost at least. She pouted at Jiji as he grinned at her.

Nyx hadn't started eaten when her mother had spoken but she spluttered when her mother spoke. Nyx knew her mum was very good at picking up on things and she already knew that there was atleast one thing that Nyx wanted to speak about. Usually it made things easier and this time she supposed it did as well, now she didn't have to bring it up.

Persy looked at Jiji, honestly shocked. She had been right but she really wasn't sure what she thought about this. Persy stared at the both of them, looking from one face to the other. She could see that they were serious but...they were so young. Had they been older she wouldn't have minded. She could see that Jiji was very serious about it. She looked at them from one to the other and sighed. "Married? But you two are so young? Why would you rush so much? I understand you both love each other but you have years and years to get married. There's no point in rushing into it. I mean I really enjoy your company Jiji and I do approve of you as my daughters boyfriend but marriage?" she said softly, seriously.

Nyx looked over at Jiji and sighed, looking at her mother and squeezed his hand tightly. Well this would be as good as time as any to tell her. "Well I don't believe we're rushing in Mama but also, we do now have another reason to get married, but Jiji didn't know about it before he proposed to me...Mama..." Nyx looked over at Jiji again, taking a deep breath. "I'm pregnant Mama."

Persy looked at Nyx, her eyes widening, unable to process the information. Nyx, her little baby was pregnant. But how could this be happening. Persy knew better than anyone what Nyx had gone through. how her body was so tired that she was given the diagnosis of sterility. This couldn't be happening. Her baby could be having a baby. She stared at the both of them. "You're what? But how Nyx? You're sterile! And more importantly how are you two going to be able to take care of kittens. You're so young!" she asked her, her voice getting louder and louder. "How are you two going to handle this?" she shouted, simply shocked. Nyx looked over at Jiji, worried, she didn't know the answer to that question.

Persy sat there with her mouth open slightly. She simply didn't know what to think, what to do. This was all too familiar to her for she was once no older than Nyx and going to bear kittens but it was a surprise all the same. Nyx was sterile, the doctors has assured her of that. They had said there was no way that Nyx would ever, ever be able to have kittens, that she would have to adopt. Persy looked at Nyx, concentrating on her for a few minutes. "Nyx, are you sure? The doctors were fairly definite when they said that you would never be able to have kittens." she said softly. Nyx brushed that aside, slightly annoyed at that response. "The doctors were also positive I wouldn't live past a year old, the doctors were positive I would never be able to dance. I think the one conclusion we can take from this is that doctors are very often wrong Mama." Nyx replied. "Mama if I wasn't positive that I were pregnant I would have never told Jiji, or you, that I am. I am defiantly, positively pregnant." she added, her voice soft but firm. She didn't want her mother to treat her like this, them like this.

Nyx blushed when she heard the firmness of Jijis resolve, of how he was going to do everything he could for her. She had known this was how he had left when he asked her to marry him but hearing him saying it to her mother, being so firm and clear about it, well...she couldn't help but swoon a little. She was so sure that this was the cat she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, to have kittens with. Yes they were young and this was going to be very, very difficult for both of them but they loved each other and that they belonged to each other.

Persy sighed a put her face in her hands. She had to admire Jijis determination and resolve and she could see from how the two looked at each other that the two really and truly loved each other but still. They were so young and Nyx was, well, Nyx. She had to have someone worry about her because she needed worrying about. She sighed again looking up at Jiji. "In light of the situation I suppose this is the best course to take. Now don't get me wrong Jiji, I do believe that you would take wonderful care of my daughter but you must understand, you're both so young for something like this."

To this Nyx shook her. "Well Mama, he's my soulmate. I know this and I don't think that I should stop myself marrying him because we're too young. We belong together." she said simply, squeezing Jijis hand.

Persy looked intently at Jiji again. She wasn't happy about the current situation honestly but then she remembered what it was like for her when she discovered she was pregnant. She would have given anything at the time for the assurance that Jijiro was giving her daughter now. She would have given an awful lot to be marrying back then. All the uncertainty made things much more difficult for her but there her daughter way, not much younger than she had been but she was different. Nyx had Jiji and they were in love. They were in love before the kittens were even conceived and the same thing couldn't be said for Persy's kittens as her and Kieran had fallen in love after they were created.

Nyx blushed as Jiji addressed her. It was true, she wasn't just eating for herself any more. Now she was taking care of herself and more, which worried her a tiny bit. Her body wasn't very good at taking care of her, none the less other kittens as well. She nodded and took a mouthful of food. She wasn't very hungry either but she knew that Jiji was right. She then smiled towards Jiji. "I think that we'll be able to be wonderful parents Jiji. And honestly it simply have to be a miracle. The doctors simply can't explain what has happened. They have no idea how it happened so it must be a miracle." she said with a smile towards her husband to be. Yes it was all very daunting now and very frightening but there was always a reason for everything and there had to be a very specific reason why this had happened to them. They were obviously supposed to be parents, they were given a chance.

Persy watched them both and couldn't help but nod. "As to marriage I suppose I simply have to give you my blessing, I think that I would be stupid to not give you my blessing and I'll help you both in any way I can." she then looked at Jiji and smirked. "You'd better take good care of my daughter because if you think Kieran seems scary you haven't seen me protecting my kits." she winked.

Persy nodded. "I won't disagree Jijiro." she said softly. She knew that Jijiro would take amazing care of her daughter but she was still worried. This was Nyx he was talking about though. This was her frail little daughter who had had to struggle through everything she had ever done in her life. This was the daughter whom Persy had watched come back from the brink of death time and time again. It was very difficult for her to simply say that Jijiro would now take care of her, although she knew that he would do a very good job of it. "I don't mean to come off as threatening you Jijiro but Nyx is very, very precious to us both you see, as I'm sure you know." she added softly, taking a bite of her food. She didn't want her baby leaving her completely, even though Nyx had long since moved to the University she had still been over almost every chance she had gotten to spend time with her and her father. She then smiled "It's nice to know we're in the good books in Anbu, I would be genuinely terrified if we weren't" she said, laughing slightly.

Nyx ate slowly although she certainly didn't want to but with the coaxing from Jiji she did her best to eat everything on her plate. She had never had a huge appetite but when she became a ballet dancer she also had to watch her figure carefully. En point dancers needed to weight around 99 pounds or less so that they could control their weight on one point easier. She had never really had a problem with keeping her figure before but now that had chanced. She was supposed to gain weight, to put on weight and this was a completely new concept to the cat. She secretly worried about how long it would take her to get figure back and get her weight back down to the ideal. She tried to put that out of her mind though, if she kept thinking about it she would have more problems eating.

Persy couldn't help but smirk at Jijis comment. "Well now I can't speak for Kieran but I will do be best to deter him from murdering you. After all I think it would upset Nyx at the very least and that cat does not like to upset his daughter." she said with a grin. She knew that Kieran would not take the news well but at the same time the female couldn't help but feel that at the very least Kieran would approve of Jijiros character.
