Well.. lets just say that when these people got old and had to wear diapers and such, Erica REFUSED for Owen to have to take care of them. They would be the kids that some faraway person in a nursing home had never had, and hopefully.. Erica and Owen would never have. Yes, Erica wanted kids, it was just a fact of life. But she was only eighteen years old, and motherhood and all the weight that went with it just wasn't appealing right about now. She wanted to spend a few years with just Owen (for mere selfish reasons) before she wanted to crowd up their life and her body with other little human beings. If they were all like Owen, well.. then they wouldn't be bad, they would be perfect -- but she knew that somewhere down deep, the wee ones would be slightly like her and that was jus' freaky. Another thing was that she was kind of terrified of motherhood, I mean.. what if she did something wrong? What if she did everything that her parents had done? I think she'd cry if anything like that would ever happen to her potential offspring. Oh well.. she shrugs a bit and looks to Mrs. McAllistor, "Umm.. as for the quantity of kids, that's to be a spontaneous issue." As the woman starts rattling off plans for the wedding, the girl sort of sends a look to Owen -- a sort of plea for him to help her out. She didn't want a humongous church wedding, she never had -- she'd always sort of wanted a quiet outdoor wedding, but yeah..

People have said that they hallucinate when they are exposed to things for a large amount of time. Well, either Di was seriously waterlogged or Joseph McAllistor had just kissed her. And she was opting for the latter for no other reason than because she could still taste the electricity it had produced. Her neck muscles had sort of relaxed and her jaw was loose from its hinge. She looked like a complete and total zombie until he crossed her path for the second time. Her head shakes a bit before she turns on her heel and marches after him, a quick stride that was part jog every now and then. She was breathless by the time she plopped down beside him on the windswept surface. She steals a few pebbles from him and begins to haul them into the distant waterline. Her brow furrows a bit as she murmurs.. "You don't need my help livin large.. You've already succeeded in doing the one thing that I could never bring myself to do." Now that was something that worked, right? Well.. Did didn't really know and she was back to tossing stones into the current, whistling softly and gently in tune to the plops the rocks created.
