• The only reason he was just now making it back here was because it had taken him so long to tie up loose ends on the island. He did not appreciate the way things had gone, and with no explaination for it whatsoever, she had left him pretty pissed. He came through the door, his expression stiff, revealing nothing.

• She sat on a chair at the large oak table, a slender, jean covered leg tucked upto her chest. She wore a light-knit sweater that wrapped around her torso and tied at the back, the sleeves flares, her arms currently wrapped around her leg as her gaze flickered blankly over the pages blurring on the page, not taking them in, lost deep in thoughts and memories. She had grown up a lot since they had left here two years ago... five years they had been together... it would have been six years today, and she couldn't help but dwell on memories, happier days than this. She was so lost in them that she didn;t even notice anyone enter. (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 3:05pm PDT
  • his eyes finally landed on her and he just stood there watching her for quite some time, trying to keep his anger in check. He had had plans for today, and this was not what he'd planned at all. He put his hand in his pocket, feeling the ring box settled deeply within. He had kept it with him every day since she'd taken off, a constant reminder. "Why'd you do it?" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 3:09pm PDT

  ---

• She freezes at the sound of his voice, not quite trusting herself not to break down if she looke dup and saw him standing there... but she couldn't stare at her book forever... it would be agony to have him infront of her and not look at him. She brought her bright blue gaze to him slowly, swallowing back a lump in her throat. Why did she do it? He didn't want to know... but he'd notice if she stood. At four months pregnant her bump hasn't huge- but it was noticeable, and it would be especially to him, he knew her body as well as his own. She nervously drew strands of gold from her lightly tanned face, drawing a soft breath "Brent... what are you doing here?" (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 3:18pm PDT
  • he frowned, stepping forward, his tone full of the hurt and anger he'd been harboring the last two months "Why do you think I'm here Angel? Do you really have no idea?" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 3:21pm PDT

  ---

• Her brow furrowed softly, tears glazing her bright eyes, but she did a good job of keeping them back. She had never wanted to hurt him, she loved him more than life... but she had been left with no other option than to do what she did. She lowered her gaze as she spoke softly, hugging her knee tightly, half trying to hide the slight buldge in her stomach. "I'm sorry Brent... I never meant to hurt you..." (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 3:31pm PDT
  • he arched a brow at that, hardly the loving goofball he usually was with her "Are you ever going to tell me why or am I just supposed to guess?" he said with an acerbic tone, arms crossing over his chest (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 3:36pm PDT

  ---

• She kept her gaze fixed on the book laid out open on the table, letting her hair fall forward to hide her face, and the few tears that eventually managed to escape. "I told you why, I left you a letter ..." it had been the only way she could make herself do it... (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 3:41pm PDT
  • he shook his head, reaching into his pocket and retrieving another thing he had carried with him these past few months. It was a crumpled piece of paper, her letter, which he had refused to read "I never read it" he said, tossing it at her (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:04pm PDT

  ---

• She raked her golden locks back from her pretty face, closing her eyes briefly before looking up at him... he wasn't making this easy... "Will you sit down?" She brushed the tears from her cheeks, closing the book infront of her and pushing it away "Things wont work Brent... we want different things... I never thought I'd say that to you... but ... I guess thats the way things happen..." (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:09pm PDT
  • he was refusing to accept that too, and he shook his head the entire time she was talking. "After six years together, things just don't stop working after all we've been through." he took her hand, eyes meeting his "We've fought for so long for this, why are you throwing it all away?" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:13pm PDT

  ---

• She shook her head in return, her pain written in her bright eyes as she held back another wave of tears "Because I have to... I love you Brent but ... I can't imagine my life without children... my life would be wasted if I didn't have them.... Its not a compromise I can make, and you shouldn't have to make it either" (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:18pm PDT
  • he gave her an exasperated look "Angel do you really think I would ever deny you something you wanted?I've never done so before, do you think I'd really start now?" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:25pm PDT

  ---

• Her brow furrows softly and she tips her head, watching him softly "This isn't about giving me what I want Baby... you have to want it to... and you don't... you told me you didn't" She wouldn't trap him into a family... especially one he didn't want to be in (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:28pm PDT
  • "What I want is to be with you, I love you Angel...I want to marry you." he wasn't giving this up without a fight, he refused to let her go, she was his world (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:31pm PDT

  ---

• He was making this harder and harder... she loved him too much to make him do this... "No Brent... I'm not going to be the reason you're miserable or resentful or sick of being woken up five times a night.... " She shakes her head softly , tears falling from her bright eyes "You said that babies were last thing you wanted right now" (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:37pm PDT
  • he nodded "I know I did, you gave me the choice and I answered you honestly. Why is that such a big deal?" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:41pm PDT

  ---

• She watches him a moment longer before glancing down to her stomach. She closed her eyes a brief moment, opening them up to him honestly. She took her hand that was still held in his, guiding his hand to her slightly rounded stomach as he leg dropped gently down, bright gaze flickering over his, drawing what response she could. "Because I'm pregnant" (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:47pm PDT
  • it was clear he was shocked by the expression on his face, it held over in his eyes when they finally met hers again "Are you serious?" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:49pm PDT

  ---

• She faught back the tears, tilting her head slightly and nodding gently. As much as she had expected that expression in his eyes, part of her had hoped for something different. "Four months... I only found out a week before I left..." (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:52pm PDT
  • his eyes went back to her stomach, feeling her stomach with his hands "Angel why didn't you tell me?" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 4:57pm PDT

  ---

• Her brow furrows as she gave way to the tears, her fingers dropping from his "I tried... I was going to tell you that night we started talking about it... and then you told me you didn't want children and I didn't know what else to do... I don't want to make you do something you don't want to... " (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 5:01pm PDT
  • he shook his head "Baby you should have told me.....do you really think I'd send you away because of this, or that I'd be unhappy?" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 5:03pm PDT

  ---

• She brushed at her tears, drawing a soft breath as she watched him, her brow gently furrowed "You told me children were lat thing you wanted... what else was I suposed to think except that you'd be unhappy?" (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 5:12pm PDT
  • "Because your question was hypothetical...it's always different when it's real" he took her hand again "You're having our baby Angel...it's impossible for me to be unhappy about that" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 5:17pm PDT

  ---

• Her teeth caught her bottom lip slightly, just a moment, watching him with shining, unsure eyes as her fingers curled into his, when he said it now it seemed the most obvious thing in the world "Really?" (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 5:22pm PDT
  • "Of course really. Angel I love you, something like that, though unexpected, isn't the end of the world." he gave her a slight smile "It's just something we have to adapt for" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 5:25pm PDT

  ---

• She rakes her hair back from her face, a nervous habit she'd never grown out of. "I love you too....I'm sorry.... I just... I didn;t know what else to do... I just want you to be happy..." (NT) -- Angel, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 5:35pm PDT
  • he smiled softly "The one way to guarantee that I'm happy is to always be with me, I'm miserable without you" (NT) -- Brent, Sun, Oct 24 2004, 5:37pm PDT

  ---

• A smile touches her lips as she tipped her head to him gently, letting out a soft sigh, her arms reaching gently around his neck "I'm sorry" (NT) -- Angel, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 1:46pm PDT
  • he stood and gently lifted her out of her chair, settling back down with her in his lap "You shouldn't ever feel you have something you can't tell me Angel, nothings gonna change the way I feel about you, and the fact that I want to spend the rest of my life with you." he settled his hands over her stomach "Nothing" (NT) -- Brent, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 2:06pm PDT

  ---

• She lets out a soft sigh, resting her forehead against his temple, allowing her bright blue eyes to slide shut gently, lips pursing softly as she spoke softly, her fingers linking into his delicately "I've missed you so much..." (NT) -- Angel, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 2:17pm PDT
  • "I've missed you too baby" he said quietly, happy to have her back in his arms. It made everything that he had lost leaving Hawaii as quickly as he had more than worth it (NT) -- Brent, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 2:19pm PDT

  ---

• She couldn't remember a day she hadn't cried since she'd left, and it felt so much better to be back in his arms, so right. He heart didn't ache anymore, she didn't have that pain in her chest. Her arms wound a little tighter around his neck, curling closer to him "How long have you been back here?" (NT) -- Angel, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 2:26pm PDT
  • he shrugged lightly "Just a couple of days. Took me a while to get off the island" he had tried to negotiate to put their deals on hold, tried to settle everything and bring it to a good stopping point but it had been no go. So finally he just up and left, leaving them without a word. It was going to hurt his business when word got around about how he had handled it, but it didn't matter. He had his Angel again, that's all that mattered (NT) -- Brent, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 2:29pm PDT

  ---

• She bit on her lip softly, she knew how much he had going on out there... his business was soaring ... and she didn't imagine it was doing nearly so well without him, she only hoped she hadn't done too much damage "What about the businesses?" (NT) -- Angel, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 2:32pm PDT
  • he shrugged and kissed her temple, that was his worry not hers, and he wasn't going to burden her with it, not with her in this condition "Let me worry about that princess" (NT) -- Brent, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 2:34pm PDT

  ---

• She lowered her gaze slightly, chewing on her lip a touch before glancing back to him "Do you think... would you mind too much if we stayed here for a while? I kinda feel like I need my mom through this... I understand if we can't..." She had always supported his ventures... she'd forgon her place at a prestigious university to move to Hawaii with him in the first place, and she'd never regretted it... (NT) -- Angel, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 2:43pm PDT
  • he nodded "That's fine baby" there was no point going back to Hawaii now, everything had fallen through the moment he'd left the island. Going back would solve nothing (NT) -- Brent, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 2:53pm PDT

  ---

• She smiled gently, clearly relieved, her fingers playing at the back of his head gently "You know Leah's pregnant too... we're pretty much at the same stage, its exciting..." (NT) -- Angel, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 2:58pm PDT
  • he smiled "So you'll have someone going through this with you" he was glad, he was nervous about this whole thing, not that he'd let her know. He was glad she was going to have some support other than himself, cause he was clueless (NT) -- Brent, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 3:04pm PDT

  ---

• Which was another reason she was so eager to stay... aside from her mother, her friends were here... she had no one but him in Hawaii. "Yeah... and I had my first sonogram last week... got a picture and a video and everything..." (NT) -- Angel, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 3:17pm PDT
  • "Yeah?" he was gonna have to have a talk with his dad, he would know what to do, he'd been through the whole pregnancy thing plenty of times (NT) -- Brent, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 3:20pm PDT

  ---

• She smiles gently, nodding a little as she watched him, looking happier than she had in months "Its really amazing Brent" (NT) -- Angel, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 3:22pm PDT
  • "I'll have to take a look sometime" he said with a smile, rubbing her back "How're you feeling?" (NT) -- Brent, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 3:29pm PDT

  ---

• She smiled softly and nodded , closing her eyes gently as she rested her head against his neck . It felt so wonderful to be back in his arms, to be loved again, to not have to face falling alseep and waking alone. "Happy anniversary..." (NT) -- Angel, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 3:41pm PDT
  • he smiled softly, remembering the ring he had in his pocket still. He decided to hold off giving it to her, too much too soon "Happy anniversary baby" (NT) -- Brent, Mon, Oct 25 2004, 3:43pm PDT
