Sitting

[Zoe Henderson]

Sitting in on the couch with Kalin in her arms Zoe could feel her heart beating in her throat. Closeing her eyes she knew the moment her mother saw her was going to be like a bomb because of obvious reasons. Zoe knew now that her just disappearing like she had wasn't the best idea now, and now that she came back things were going to be hard. But seeing as she had the baby now, well she needed to be home. She already stopped by Riyann and Rileys only because she had been triyng to stall for time but now she knew that it was time to come home. She had let herself and was glad that Kalin had decided that she was going to sleep peacefully.
So Zoe just sat there, sitting and waiting.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell was sitting on her bed upstairs with James in her arms as he fell asleep there. There was a huge storm last night and he couldn't never sleep alone. She places a hand on her stomach, wincing slightly knowing that there was a possibly that she herself was having another child herself. It was sorta bad that she was hoping that Shell wasn't.

Standing up she walks to James's room and places him into his bed before walking down the steps to come upon her daughter sitting on the couch with a small bundle which Shell instantly guessed as her first grandchild. A grandmother at thirty two, that had to be a record. She frowns a bit as she walked over to where she was sitting. "H-hey Zoe. Is that him or her?" she asks sitting down as she stared at Zoe. Shell wasn't going to yell no matter how much she wanted to right now. What was important right now was that she was safe along with the baby.

[Zoe Henderson]

Zoe keeps her eyes down at Kalin, doing whatever she can to not look at her mother. This was a bad thing. She should have given it up for adoption or something other than keeping it, because right now she knew that this was the worst thing that she could ever do.
Besides having to go and tell the father in a bit, that is.
"Her name is Kalin," Zoe mumbles looking down at the baby.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell nods, faintly glancing down at the girl, her granddaughter. Shell knew that she couldn't wait for this moment in her life when she had her own kids, but she wasn't expecting it to be this soon.

"Of course it's a girl. With all the girls on both sides of the family. Only thing missing would be if she doesn't have blonde hair and blue eyes." she laughs softly, feeling a few tears trickle down her face still watching Kalin then looked up at Zoe. "That's a pretty name. Almost thought of it for Vi or Liese. May I hold her?" Shell asks with a slight smile still gracing her lips.

[Zoe Henderson]

Zoe nods her head, almost not listening to her mother as she speaks. It was still hard to believe that she had put herself in this situation. Zoe did catch the last part of her mothers words and held Kalin out to her. "Full name is Kalin Adianna-Rose-..." Zoe fell short. She hadn't decided on the last name yet. Sure she had put Henderson on the certificate and all but she wasn't sure that she was going to have her a Henderson or..well the fathers last name.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell nods listening until she stopped, but still took Kalin lightly. It was automatic second nature now of course, rocking her lightly while still supporting her the correct and in a comforting way. "Last name sweetheart? Is she a Henderson, Chou or what?" she asks biting her lip lightly as she looked down at her granddaughter. "The first one not to name their daughter after someone you know." she adds, remembering her full name with a light smile now.

[Zoe Henderson]

"I don't know yet.." Zoe answered. She couldn't say the fathers last name because that would be a dead give away of who the father was and Zoe didn't want Shelby to know who the father was. Zoe then nodded. "I know. Wanted her to be her own person in every way I guess,"

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell nods lightly, still looking at Kalin with a smile. "Take your time sweetie. It's fine." she nods again before glancing back at Zoe. "Actually, you're not technically named after family. You're named after a famous quidditch player, or at least your middle name. Your father named you Zoe." she smiles before leaning over and kissing Zoe's cheek. "I wanted to name you Hannah or Isabel."

[Zoe Henderson]

"He did one tihng right then," Zoe said with a slight chuckle then looked down at Kalin. She was glad that she looked mostly like Zoe, well for the most part. Same features but the colors were off. Kalins hair was a very dirty blonde, almost brown and her eyes still blue but had a very bright green tint to them. "Beautiful.." Zoe mummered looking down at the baby.

[Shelby Crescent]

"Hey! That's not very nice." she says with a frown before glancing back at Kalin. Shell noticed as well, the typical Crescent features were a bit off, but she remembered that she and Nick naturally had dark brown hair that was almost black, while his family had green eyes. "That she is. Just like you." Shell whispers softly as she smiled at Kalin. "Are you going to stay here and raise her? I still have everything for a baby, even the nursery upstairs." she laughs slightly.

[Zoe Henderson]

Zoe nodded her head but again didn't really pay much attention to her. And agian only really listened to the last part of her mothers words. "Uh-...I'm not sure. Maybe." Zoe said, but knew she shouldn't. She knew that she is no where near capeable of taking care of herself and that baby out on her own but there was a apart of Zoe that wanted to do this on her own. Then the other part that knew she needed the help of her mother.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell's heart drops a bit, actually it fell her to her stomach. "O-oh, okay then..." she murmurs, closing her eyes, but still held the baby right. "It's up to you. I'll still give you want you need if you decide not to..." she whispers, trying still to talk but she couldn't anymore after that. It was hard enough not to let the tears fall down her face.

[Zoe Henderson]

"Mum...I want to make it on my own..You understand that right?" Zoe mumbled still looking down. "It's not llike I would cut you out of our lives. I-...I just want to make it on my own."

[/size]

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell sighs, feeling a few tears fall down her face. "Wh-where are you going to go? You have no money, no job... is he going to help you?" she asks, meaning the father. "If so, I want to know who he is sweetie. I'm not gonna be mad at you."

[/size]

[Zoe Henderson]

Zoe shakes her head. "I don't want to tell you who he is." She mutters.

[Shelby Crescent]

"Are you ever going to tell me? Are you ever going to know her last name, or even tell her?"

[/b] she asks trying to stay calm, but the tears kept falling from her eyes. "I thought you trusted me Zoe. I'm not going to care who it is."[/blockquote][/size]

[Zoe Henderson]

Zoe opens her mouth but then shuts it and shakes her head stubbornly. She knew she was acting like a child, but she still was a child. She wasn't a mother. She was a baby that had a baby. She wasn't ready to be an adult in any way. "No."

[/size]

[Shelby Crescent]

"Fine, be stubborn like your father. I'm offering my home, everything I know and have for you because you're still my little girl. I love you more than anything but you're just pushing me away." she mutters, standing up and walking into the kitchen while still holding Kalin.

[Zoe Henderson]

"Mum-" Zoe said but got cut short when Shelby stood up and started walking away with kalin. She felt her pulse quicken and instantly follwed not wanting Kalin to be in another room then her just yet. "Fine you want to know?" She muttered once in the kitchen keeping her eyes on Kalin, seeing him more in her as she thought about him. "His name is Mason Jay Bradley. That's his name. Mason. Jay. Bradley." She muttered. "And yea, I want to go out on my own but you know me better than anyone else so you know that I'll probably end up coming here because you know and I know that I can't be out there on my own..' she had to say all of that softly, but loud enough for Shelby to hear, because if she hadn't Zoe knew she probably would have yelled it which would have been very bad.

[Shelby Crescent]

Mason Jay Bradley... That name instantly made a connection in her mind. She honestly couldn't stand the kid. Slytherin, stuck up, pureblood and was related to them. Henderson was a pureblood family as was hers. Shell glanced at Zoe and then Kalin with a sigh. "You're just like me... I wanted to live on my own and take care of you the right way. Your father did support you though." For the time he was there... "But I hope you do make it on your own sweetie. Prove me wrong." she says softly, glancing back at Kalin with a frown. "You've already proved that you're brave enough to take on your daughter, but if you ever need anything while you're trying on your own let me know sweetie."

[Zoe Henderson]

Zoe let a small smile come onto her lips and looked up at her mother. "Thanks mum," She said softly. She moved over closer and leaned her head on Shelbys shoulder and looked down at Kalin. SHe knew that she was in for it with raiseing a baby on her own at 16.

[Shelby Crescent]

"So, anything else going on I don't know about? Belly button pierced, tattoo..." she smiles lightly feeling Zoe lean her head on her shoulder as she let out a deep sigh. "Love you Z and you too Kalin." she says glancing down at the small girl in her arms again.
