Anna was sitting in the living room with her parents, which wasn't as bad as she thought it would be, they were really supportive that she had twins, even if she wasn't married or engaged, as long as she was with someone. She hadn't told them that the father wasn't even out of school yet, and that they weren't together at the moment. But he was living, and breathing... or was he? Anna didn't know she had only just gotten back. If they met Erik and found he was a teen then there would be hell. Anna looked much better than she did the day she had left, her skin was smooth and normally coloured and her cheeks were pink and she wasn't shaking or crying. |

Erik Night
Erik had seen her car as he drove down her street as he did every day since she left, to do just that. When he saw it he felt relief flood through him, but he was also anxious, nervous. He felt a little stirring in the pit of his stomache, that was the only thing that was holding him back from going to see her that instant. So, instead, he parked on the road, and sat, trying to mentally prepare himself for what was going to be said and done. He sighed, and got out of the car, regretting the discision to not get her flowers or something else to show he still cared. Well, he had forgotten, and there was no going back now. He walked up to the doorway slowly, and lifted his fist, hestiated, then knocked three times. Erik was dressed well today in a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled and casual pants. His hair was a little longer, ruffled by the wind, and the scar of his cheek from the accident was visible, but not extremely noticable. The cuts and bruises from the fight where all healed, and so he looked himself. A little older then 17, but maybe 19 at the most, and that was pushing it. So he stood there, waiting for the door, hands in his pockets, eyes straying to the ground.

Anna had a terrible feeling that she knew who was at the door right now was the worst time possible for this Anna almost got to her feet but her mom beat her to it, striding up to the door her mother answered it and smiled at the young man at the door.
"Can I help you?"
Her mom asked with slight confusion on her face, why was he here? Anna sank back into the sofa in despair, perfect moment right? Perfect. They did need to talk though, just not right now! |

Erik Night
Erik was not expectiong that. An older woman with a slight resmblance to Anna answered to door and asked if she coudl help him. Oh god, her parents where here? He couldn't like to them... Ugh, this was wonderful. Simply amazing. He smiled a little nervously, and blew out a shaky breath, before speaking.
"I'm Erik.. I sit posisble for me to speak with Anna? Even just briefly?"
He asked, trying to be as polite as possible. WHo knows, maybe they didn't know what Anna's lover's name was.. yet. He was a little on edge, hoping he woudl get a huge reeming or anything, but, he knew that Anna would have told them, right? Told them how his old ex girlfriend came up and broke them up, or how he crashed a car while Anna was with him, or how she had seen him punch someone out for touching her. Erik got a little more nervous as he waitied in silence for the woman's direction. Either yes or no. It was so nervewracking, this moment.

Anna got up from the sofa and walked to the door, her mom seemed to be confused at why she hadn't told her abut this. Anna walked outside and shut the door behind her, and crossed her arms over her chest.
"what do you want?"
Anna asked softly but straight to the point she wasnt being mean or anything, she was just in a hurry too. Her parents were waiting for an explanation of who this guy called Erik was. And why he was here and wanting to talk to her. She'd be shouted at and the rest f it most probably. |

Erik Night
Erik moved out of the way fro Anna as she came out and shut the door behind her, crossing her arms and asking him what he wanted. Erik stood, holding himself back from running and like tackling her with a hug, because one, her parents might be watching, and two, she woudl probably freak out at him. He noticed how big her belly was now, and yet how much better she looked.
"You look better."
He said quietly, avoiding her question. He stepped a little closer, and then looked away from the door and down the raod casually.
"Do they know about us?"
He said, once again acting as if it was nothing, again tryignto fool the posisble creeping parents.

Anna wasn't happy that Erik avoided her question. It was aggravating especially because of the awkward situation. She nodded when he said she was looking better, being at her parents had made her feel better by along shot. So Anna was pretty awkward feeling because she was outside with Erik when her parents were probably watching. Anna sighed and looked down at her feet, yes she could still see them but her stomach was bigger than any normal five month pregnant woman. In proportion to her tiny body anyway, since the babies would be like six foot unlike her.
"Yeah, I feel better too."
Anna answered, nodding, then lifting her head to look at him. She knew which question was coming next but she wasn't ready for it when he asked it anyway.
"They don't know that you're the father, if that's what you're question is."
Anna managed before looking back through the curtained windows, no doubt that they were watching her and him... whoever they thought he was. |

Erik Night
Erik noticed her glance back to the house, and sighed a little. He needed to talk to her in private, but if he grabbed her and ran, well that wouldn't be so great, would it? So, Erik put a hand in his pocket, and looked down as he spoke.
"You should tell them. Eventually they're going to find out, and I would rather me get reemed out than you."
He said, smiling a little, and stepping a little closer towards her. He longed to have her in his embrash once more. It was killing him, though she could probably tell because it showed in his features. He stepped a little closer once more, his gaze straying to the ground, then back to her stomache, then to her face.
"Anna, I said I would be there for you, so whether you like it or not I'm going to be. Though I would rather not have to stalk you or anything.."
He said, adding a little smile that was harmless and simply friendly. He did want to get back together, but the fact she may push him away, he didn't want to pressure her.

Anna sighed as he tried to reason about telling her parents that he was in fact father of the twins she carried inside of her, but he just didn't get it, she had just made up with her parents and she didn't want to lose that so soon. Her lips pursed in aline as she thought of what she could reply with to that.
"Either way I'm going to get in some sort of trouble."
Anna kicked at the ground, still looking down at the ground instead of looking up at him like she usually would. It was so unbelievable that one minute he was saying that he'd be there to get her through everything and then he was breaking up with her, so why'd he keep coming back? Pity? Well Anna didn't want nor need pity. She stayed where she was even though he was getting a bit too close. She smiled as he said he'd rather not stalk her, she couldn't stop it from spreading across her lovely face, she hadn't smiled like that in a while and her eyes lit up, again she couldn't stop it.
"I'd rather not have you stalking me too."
Anna's smile just kept getting wider, he always made her feel great, she had to smile around him. She wasn't quite ready to get back together but being friends was okay, but now what was she going to say to her parents? Too late to think about that.
Her parents came out the front door and narrowed their eyes at how close the stranger teenager was to their pregnant daughter, they were watching him closely, they were wary of him just in case he tried to move in on their lovely daughter.
"Anna? Who is this?"
Her mother asked tight lipped, obviously not comfortable that they'd been talking for so long. |

Erik Night
Erik paused, listening to her speak, his face hardeing slightly, all until she smiled. She acctually smiled, with they eye and everything. This was like an oasis in the middle of the desert. He couldn't help but to smile back widely, until her parents stepped out of the doorway, looking at him a little warily. He looked at Anna guiltily, before taking her hand a little timidly. It was his only way to get the point across.
"I'm Erik Night. Kinda the father of Anna-our kids."
He said, with the most confidence he could possibly manage. He looked down at Anna and managed a little smile, his gaze moving back to her parents. No, he wasn't going to spazz at them if they freaked, he would simply be calm, and talk it through with them... It would all turn out fine, hopefully. Erik felt the feeling in the pit of his stomache turn and get larger, making him feel even more nervous. Ugh, this had to turn out. Couldn't something go right?

Anna slid her hand out of his hand uncomfortable, had she not just said they were just friends for now? Apparently she'd been speaking a different language unless he'd bee trying to prove that he was in fact the father. Well she'd messed that one up, she had to breathe deeply or else she'd freak out. What were her parents going to do now that Erik had told them what had happened. Anna was stiffened, ready to bolt, as if she'd be able to being pregnant and all.
Her parents stared at Erik, distaste written all over their faces, but still all eyes were on Erik not Anna. He was seventeen. Seventeen! Did Anna not realise that? She must be some some sort of blind if she didn't.
"Anna... he's... seventeen..."
Her mother reasoned shakily while Anna couldn't manage to look her in the eye, nor her dad who was most probably fuming at the moment, Anna couldn't move, she was paralyzed in fright. Her father took a swing at her, not a punch just his hand flying toward her, Anna shrank back and her mother stopped his hand just after it had started it's swing. Anna knew her dad didn't mean it, he just had anger issues.
"I know."
Anna finally answered without a clue of what was going to happen next.
"How could you make him a father at seventeen? He's only a boy!" |

Erik Night
Erik tried not to let it hurt him, as Anna took her hand from his, but he couldn't help it. Then, alos he knew it was coming, but he stiffened at their critisizing looks and comments. He was seventeen... Only seventeen... Why didn't they understand? Why did not one understand? Erik tried to keep strong and quiet, but when her father raised his hand, Erik stepped forward, anger coursing through him. No, he wouldn't do anythign bad.. But why woudl he even thingk about hitting her? It was Erik's fault. He stood there, jaw tight, a slight straining look on his face. When Anna's father called him just a boy, and making him becoming a father he spoke up, tryign desprately to control his tone to sound polite.
"Sir, it's not like it was Anna's fault. If anything, blame me. And yes, I'm only seventeen, but that certainly doesn't mean I can't love."
He said, his tone passonate and serious. His face told of no lie, and he looked to the ground a little, before his eyes strayed back to Anna, before looking at her father again. It hurt like heck, tha Anna didn't love him anymore, if she really didn't. Two weeks. Two weeks he had been alone, pretending to be okay, tryign to act and look normal. No, no he was not okay. No, he was not feeling normal. Instead, he felt as if he was drowning in his own depression. WOnderful. Erik turned back to Anna a little, not knowing what to do. They didn't knwo that they where not seieng each other, but did they need to know? He shoudl say somethign to her, tell her that was was sorry. Het on his knees and beg for forgivnes. But no, he needed to be strong. Strong, strong, strong..

Anna watched as Erik stepped forward when her father had tried to hit her, she was about to reach forward and pull him back, but she restrained herself. How could she not go back to him, and beg for him back? He had just stepped in front of her to stop her father from slapping her, how could she? Her insides were turning, decisions, decisions she didn't know what to do or think at all. And the fact that he still loved her and said it to her parents while they weren't together made her do a double take. Wait then why had he written that letter that Tiffany had showed her the day that she had left? It broke her heart that she was standing up for her even if they weren't together, it was too much.
Her father and mother took one more glance and Anna and Erik before shaking their heads and walking away, to their car and drove away, not one of them looking back. SO much for feeling loved and cherished while you were pregnant. |

Erik Night
Erik watched Anna's parent walk away, and drive off. Nice parents, really he respected them now. Not. He spun around slowly, watching as thier car went out if sight. No, he coduln't stand their amilessly staring into nothignness, and there was nothing else to commnet on. The weather? Erik would laugh if he mentioned the weather, and it wasn't a time for laughing. Not, not at all. Erik turned to Anna quietly, his eyes surveying her. Her parents had left her, all because of him. He messed up too much. He ruined her life, making her hurt and pregnant. Everyhitng had gone wrong, but Erik couldn't deny how much he loved her. He simply couldn't. No, he would rather die then never see her again. Erik, being his normal self, went to stand by Anna, but not knowing what to say. He just kind of pondered on what to say, his mind scrambling insanely. He then reatched his hand out a little timidly, just to put it on her shoulder, as a friend would another friend. It hurt. It hurt so bad. That gesture, the friendly one. It was slowly eating him from the inside out, gnawing on him like some sort of chewtoy. He looked up at her, a completely unknown and unframilliar look on his face of guilt, sorrow, forgiving, pleading.. SO many emotions where stirred up into this one look... He could understadn it him self..

Anna watched her parents leave, they just left her like that because he was seventeen. She stood there awkwardly since sh couldn't go and hug him or whatever now that they weren't together, she was sad to have made that desiscion like that. She knew it was hurting him but it was hurting her too, too much stress for the babies. Not good for them but nothing had been good for Anna either, she was almost collapsing with exhaustion and she looked white as a ghost. She noticed the hand on her shoulder but didn't know what to do. She was unsteady on her feet and she fell back, finally collapsing with exhaustion of her physical body and her emotions. |
