          Anna could not stop the groan that left her lips when Brian said that the baby was hungry. She knew it was the truth, knew that she would have to be the one to get their son and feed him, but it did not mean she was not going to make Brian suffer as well. The brunette tugged at the sheets he covered himself with and then nudged him with her foot as if telling him to get up - though only teasing since she was already sitting up “You are the worst.” Anna grumbled under her breath as she stood up, not even bothering to put on a shirt since she would have to take it off to feed their baby either way. “You ain’t getting any for the next week.” Anna said over her shoulder to Brian before walking out of their bedroom and to the nursery where she picked up the crying boy. She quickly settled him in her arms and began to breastfeed the little one, humming quietly at the same time. It was not long before the baby fell asleep again, now his tummy full, ready to sleep through the rest of the night.

          “I hate you.” Anna whispered at the blonde man once she returned to the bedroom and basically fell onto the bed “You’re making breakfast.”

“Uncle Brian!” With a grin that she could only have gotten from her father, Angela slammed shut the door of her mother’s car and headed up the driveway towards the O’Conner house. Her license still new (two, three months at the most), she had yet to acquire a car on her own. Technically, her parents were building her one, but “debates” over the specs had temporarily halted construction. So borrowed cars, it was.

“I think you’re right but it’s hard to know a man that I only just met. The man that’s apart of me and that I’ll never be able to meet but through the friends and family he’s left behind,” Raven replied as she looked at Brian and took in everything that he was saying. Her father’s death wasn’t an accident like many believed and like the media reported but it was proving that it wasn’t that was the hard part. She couldn’t make the truth magically appear but she could help to coax it out and find the people who did this. The blonde knew that her skills with the computer could come in handy and she would make sure that they got justice. “Yes, we are,” she agreed.

“There’s a difference though, accident’s happen and danger is apart of it but someone targeted my father,” she stated. “That means that someone could be targeting you and the rest of his family. All we can do is follow the evidence and hope that we don’t lose anyone along the way,” she said. That was a big hope but it was all she could do. “I think I may know where he could be then, there’s only one place that comes to mind when it comes to racing and american muscle. One with a name that could draw someone like you’re friend,” she offered.

“--- you are a terrible liar.” She replied simply, following after the man to grab the first aid kit. She pushed the ointment out of his hand, not caring where it fell as she made Brian sit at one of the chairs in the dining room while she grabbed his hands. It was not like she was going to let him take care of himself, she trusted him, he was an amazing man - but self-care? That was not Brian’s strong side.

The moment the words left her lips Raven knew that she had said the wrong thing but there was no getting out of it now. “I guess now that I said that I need to explain. He’s a hacker, but when I was with him he was controlling, abusive,” she shrugged and looked at him. “I don’t want the baby in that environment but he’d be able to take care of us. It’s the only solution I could come up with besides coming here to find Roman,” she replied and looked down at her stomach. This was the hardest thing she’d had to do, the hardest thing she could do, asking for help. “Right,” she nodded. “I do need help and if I don’t find help or get some sort of help the baby’s going to be given up for adoption and I don’t think I could do that. I know that I didn’t want to be pregnant or a mother, not right now but over the course of this pregnancy I came to realize that I wanted to keep this baby but without the help I don’t know if I’ll be able to provide for us.”

Raven looked at the male, her dark eyes meeting his blue orbs as she listened to him speak. “Wherever I find to life it has to be affordable and safe so that I don’t have to worry about buying the things that the baby will need and keeping a roof over our head. Someone that’s willing to work with me. For the crib quality and affordability are a must but also easy to transport. My little car isn’t big enough to carry a fully assembled crib,” she agreed. Raven wanted the best for the baby, for herself she didn’t mind but the baby deserved the best. “I would appreciate it if you asked around? My only friend isn’t too happy with me in fact she’s rather annoyed. She doesn’t want me there once the baby is born,” she said. This whole situation was hard for her and she felt embarrassed asking Brian and Roman for any help but she had too.
