Lucas

Mila nodded agreeing with him " I do trust you. Your not so bad and you have a good heart. So , thank you," she said with a soft smile. She then nodded " Yeah I know he is still mid freaking out right now. He's worried about alot of what if's and I just can't afford that worry. I will lose it if I keep worrying myself. I'm already worried enough with having my first baby. But Donny..."she trailed off at the mention of his name and sighed. She shrugged her shoulders like she had given up on him and the love she had for him. "Doesn't matter if he's emotionally there or not. He doesn't love me...at least I know that someone else does," she nodded, speaking about Kai.

Lucas listened to her and nodded. "Thanks Mila. I appreciate that." He says as he sat up, signaling to her that he was listening to her and nodded his head. When she trailed off, he didn't say anything. His eyes stayed on her and he nodded again. "If you have someone, that's important. Doesn't matter who it is, Mila."

Mila couldn't help but to smile slightly at his kind gesture in giving her tissues. " Thank you," she said as she took them to pat away her tears. Then sat back down to readjust herself and sighed " Yes, he knows. I told him not to tell anyone for abit until I am comfortable enough to. I'm still not, but I'm getting bigger as the days go by and it's becoming noticeable. Can't hide forever," she shrugged. " He's just...he's not so happy about it, not prepared, and just overall lost of words. But he's still going to be there for me no matter what so...I guess that's all that matters," she shrugged with a slight smile. She wanted more than that, but she knew she would never get that from Donny.

Lucas nodded when she took the tissue. He sat up and fixed his posture, looking at Mila with a frown. "I'm glad you told someone you trust." He said quietly. "And…thank you for trusting me enough to tell me too. You're right—you can't hide it forever. But you also shouldn't have to rush telling people before you're ready." At the mention of Donny, Lucas paused. "It sounds like he's scared more than anything." He gave a small, sympathetic shrug. "You deserve someone who's there for you emotionally too, not just because they feel it's the right thing to do." Lucas offered a gentle smile. "But…the fact that he's sticking around does count for something. Maybe he just needs time for it to sink in. Becoming a parent isn't exactly news most people process overnight." He hesitated before adding to her. "For what it's worth, I think you're handling this a lot better than you're giving yourself credit for. You're scared, yeah…but you're still thinking ahead, still trying to do what's best." A faint grin tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Please tell me you're here to play pool and nost just look at my pretty face." Cam jokes and looks at the person who came into the ar with a smile. @rededgerpstarterblog

"I'm so ready to win." Lucas grinned at Cam. "How have you been, man? I didn't see you at all when we went to Japan. Did you enjoy it?"

"I'd be down for that, I think every hockey fan should wear these."

"Hey, I'll sell them." He joked with a laugh. "Are you excited to be here in Japan?"

"It's fine, Lucas. It could always be wrose, you know?" She asked him with a smile. "Yes, that sounds like so much fun!"

"Then lets get going." He said with a grin as he looked at Elena - beginning to walk towards the arcade he found.

Mila nodded as she bit her lip “Yeah, it’s kinda hard to believe I’m turning into a beach ball. My jeans don’t fit and my ass is non existent. I’m getting bigger by the day and all I do is eat. It’s like my job too,” she laughed abit as her eyes watered alittle. She was so stressed out about everything.

Lucas watched her, seeing her eyes water. He reached over to pick up the napkins from the napkin holder and handed them over to her. When she looked down, he nodded slowly. "Oh my gosh." He muttered as he watched her lift her shirt a bit. Lucas leaned back in the booth and sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Does he know, did you tell him yet?"

"It's okay, it was just them telling everyone that I've been disowned by my family." Elena shrugged. "I am down for whatever."

"I'm sorry to hear that Elena." Lucas frowned. "Okay, cool. I think there's some arcades we can check out, if you're fine with it?"

Mila looked at his expression while he looked at the menu and she knew that it didn’t sound delicious. It sounded like a huge weird combination of a craving. She was not fooling anyone at this point. “ The tone in your voice says otherwise with the look that goes along with it,” she shook her head with a bit of a chuckle. Lucas made her feel abit comfortable and wasn’t pressing the matter on what was wrong with her, which she enjoyed. But she knew it was time to tell everyone the truth.

Lucas froze, his eyes glued to the menu for a second longer than normal as his brain tried to process the words that had just come out of her mouth. He slowly lowered the menu. For a long moment, he just stared. He leaned across the table, resting his forearms on the wood, his eyes searching hers to see how she was actually holding up. As much as he wanted to celebrate, he knew her well enough to read between the lines. "Holy shit, Mila." He murmured, his voice softening. He reached across the table, nudging her hand with his knuckles. "A mom. You're gonna be a mom." He took a deep breath. "Who's...who's the father? How far along are you?"

Veronica wandered through one of the countless shops lining the streets of Tokyo, a few small bags already hanging from her arm. She'd originally planned to do a little browsing, but somewhere along the way that plan had turned into actual shopping.

Lucas did a little more shopping than he intended. But he was glad that he only had a few small bags. Looking up from the ground and sipping his coffee, he gazed to see Veronica. "Hey!" He greeted with a wide grin. "Oh, yeah. Here I am." He held up the bags with a chuckle. "What did you find?" He asks her.

"No, you always just seem upbeat, and I mean that in a nice way." She smiled. "That is so cute, you two are such an adorable couple."

"Oh thanks Britt." He smiled. "Yeah, she's amazing. I'm beyond lucky to have her."

"I'm keeping these sunglasses." Gage said with a laugh. "When my NHL season starts up again, I'm wearing these out on the ice, what do you think?" @rededgerpstarterblog

"You're going to be the coolest guy on the ice." Lucas said with a laugh. "Careful. Someone might be trying to sell those as merchandise for your team."

"Japan for a whole month is what I needed. I cannot wait to get out of town for a while, and before you ask, no, I don't care that I got blasted, it was going to happen eventually and what's done is done." @rededgerpstarterblog

"If it makes you feel any better, I didn't even see you got blasted. I'm sorry that happened to you. Well..anyway, we are here in Japan. Is there anything you wanted to see or do?"

"I cannot thank you enough for coming out to meet me. Work has been kicking my ass lately, and I needed this." @rededgerpstarterblog

"Of course man. I'm glad I could see you." He said as he sat down across from him at the table. "I'm sorry that work has been kicking your ass. Somedays it's so easy and other days, it's the opposite."
