Where: Lach's Appartment Who: Josie and Lachlan (@wanderinglcst)

Josie was sitting on the couch holding a mug with some green tea in it. She hadn't seen Lach much and she had felt bad for that. She wanted to stop by and just catch up. "so...not to be predictable or sound like a broken record but uh....there's a boy." She said with a soft giggle. Hiding behind her mug a bit. "Actually! you might know him! uh- Gabriel Westfall?" she begins "He goes by G now though. He was that kid that got buried alive when I was a freshman I think...?" she was rambling now "He's....so sweet Lach. Just an angel I think you're going to like him a lot..." She nodded.

"It just...seemed like the right choice" She began "Em found me outside the supply shop the day I found out...Told me that her and Chris were looking to adopt" She was trying to keep herself from crying more."I am so sorry I kept it from you for so long..." She sighed. "I love you so much Lach and Sofie too I don't know what I would do without you...You're the closest thing I've ever had to family I want you to be apart of this..." she felt the tears slipping from her eyes again. She scoffed using her sleeves to wipe them away a small laugh escaping her lips "God I don't think I've ever cried so much in my entire life...."

Lachlan sighed softly and held her tighter into him, he hated it when she got upset like this because all he wanted to do was take all her pain from her. "I know, but I want to support you as well. You're practically my daughter at this point." He let her go and put his hands on her cheeks. "I'll support you in whatever you choose to do. Chris has been desperate to become a dad for such a long time."

"you think so?" She questioned and looked up at him with a soft smile. She didn't want to hear that, but it was a nice sentiment. She wasn't changing her mind on Frankie James. That was certain, but it didn't help her baby fever towards G and seeing G with Sissy and Cys little bundle wasn't helping either. 'its the hormones Josie, you don't want another baby right now. You're not ready' she kept reminding herself. She finished up and carefully picked Alma back up and carefully bounced her "she is, but she's so adorable..." She smiled down at her "I'm excited for her to meet Frankie..."

"You're doing really good with her." Lachlan smiled as he watched Josie with Alma, she had needed a change and figured she could do with getting the practice in. "We can just put the cloth diaper in the washing machine. There you go, that's good." He chuckled a bit. "She's so small still."

Josie reluctantly pulled away, using the handkerchief to blot her eyes as to not ruin her make up more than she already had. "I told Nico how I felt..." She began trying to calm her breathing "he told me he didn't feel the same way and I took that at face value so I-" She almost couldn't say it out loud, saying now to someone else it sounded so bad "I hooked up with his brother Xander...it wasn't to hurt him I- I just felt so Empty and so unwanted I just I needed that comfort and he was just...there for me" She tried to rationalize the situation "Nico found put and told me he was going to try being together but because I slept with Xander and he wants nothing to do with me" the tears began to fall again "why do I do this, why do I ruin everything I touch and hurt the people I love....I just want this pain to stop"

Josie couldn't find the words. Every bit of vocabulary she had ever learned stripped from her mind "N-nico" she sobbed out in to his chest "I- I messed up I thought he didn't like me back" She pulled away. She didn't want to go into details quite honestly "He said he wanted to stop being friend for a little bit....I can't loose him Lach I-" She continued to sob "I fucked up so bad this time..."

She buried her face into his shoulder letting herself cry for the first time since she had found out she was pregnant. Seemed like she had been doing this a lot to Lach lately. She pulled away and looked up to him "Y-you really don't have to do that...I know you and Paloma have your own issues to worry about..."

Lachlan sighed. "Oh Josie... I would never get angry at you about this type of thing." He took a step forward then pulled her gently into a hug, kissing the side of her head. "You don't have to ever be scared to tell me things like this, ok? I'm going to be there every step of the way with you through this."

Josie shrugged "How long have you known me Lach? I don't crush on people either.." She argued "I mean my god G's the first person I've actually asked to be my boyfriend...I don't date" a shrugged and squeezed her legs a little. Almost to hug her self. "It took me nearly 20 years to realize how I felt about Nico..." she knew it was because of her parents, mostly the cruel things her father would say to her nearly every night. "its hard to unlearn the bad habits I had to protect my self..."

"Sounds like a crush to me." Lachlan told her with a shrug of his shoulders. "But then again, I don't get crushes on people. I have to have an emotional connection in order to do pretty much anything that resembles a relationship so I'm not the right person to ask what's normal."
