“Crap! You weren’t supposed to be home until later!” Gionna had a feeling she was going to get caught on that ladder she was currently standing on, but hey, at least it was a small one? And she wasn’t even that high off the ground. Being home all the time was driving her bananas, and she was tired of the baby’s room being a mess, so she figured she’d just hang up a few decorations, fully expecting to have it done before Max got home from the airport that day. “Don’t be mad, babe. I’m just so damn bored, and the baby will be here before we know it, and this room is a disaster!”

“Look, I am sorry.”

       she’s   perched    in    a    chair,   tucked    discretely   away   in   the   corner.   kenny   and   cody    were    off,   handling   business   that   at   the  time   didn’t   concern    her,    but   she   would   remain    right    where   she   was.    her   objective   was   simple:    wait   for   maxwell    to    show    his   face,   to   think   he’s   in    the   clear,   even   if   he’s   far   from   it.   footfall    approaching   provokes   slight   upward    twist   of   lips,   reaching   for   the   chain   switch    on    the   lamp   right   next   to   her.    it   illuminates   features,   freckles   and   fiery   hair   igniting   as    the   semi-darkness   is   eliminated.    “    .   .   .     cody’s   not   here,    but   i   am    ,   “  

it might’ve been a little selfish or whatever . cody just wished that max could move on like he did . so they could go back to how things were “ i didn’t say you couldn’t take care of yourself ” he snapped right back, already used to their arguments, half of it didn’t phase cody “ god forbid someone wishes you some praises, max . i’m here to support you. why are you pushing me away? ”

Maybe if I just hurry up and throw it in the trash, he won’t see it. All I have to do is make it downstairs and just throw it away, and we won’t have to deal with this until I’m ready. Those were the words Gionna said to herself as she tried to as quietly as she could, exit the bathroom in Maxwell’s apartment, because the last thing she wanted was for him to see the positive pregnancy test she was trying to hide in her hand. It wasn’t like she was going to hide the news from him forever, seeing as how that was impossible, but she was just scared to tell him the news just yet, because the two of them hadn’t even been together that long. It’s fine. It’s. Fine. I can just hold out a little bit longer as long as I make it downstairs…but of course Gionna’s concentration was immediately interrupted….when she ran right into Max as soon as she exited the bathroom, knocking the test out of her hand, and the stupid thing made sure it made a loud thump as soon as it hit the floor. Gionna was speechless at first, as she stared down at the little blue and white piece of plastic, because what could she even say in that moment? “Max I…..I can explain!”

The dungeon was closed until tomorrow so Nattie took the time to renovate the place with some help from a good friend she's known for many many years. "I was thinking about putting this picture up somewhere, what do you think?"
