"Mum, can I please have a firewhisky?"
"I already said no."
"I'm eighteen now mum. I could go out and get married, have children and drink if I want."
"Well then, you can once you move out and have your own place. As of now, take your little brother."

Shell walks over to the bar and orders a couple butterbeers and walks back to where Jenny, James and herself were sitting. "Here. You can have a butterbeer and no back talking." she adds quickly, noticing Jenny opening her mouth to retaliate but she beaten her to the punch.

Jenny grumbles a little staring at the bottle before James smiled up at her. "Mommy what's a firewhisky?" Shell laughs at the same time Jenny does. "A nasty drink for older adults. Like my age not Jenny's." "Yeah way older James. Just like mum." grinning over to Shell before she stuck her tongue at her daughter.

"Aimee, go home." Aimee rolled her eyes at her boss. She had to work so that she could actually earn a living for her and the kids. She knew she shouldn't be working, but it wasn't hard work and walking around helped push the baby out. Least that's what she heard.
"Just let me get this one order corrected and I'll get out of your hair." She told him picking up a butterbeer.
"Good because I don't want to see your face here still in five minutes." He said in a teaseing voice. Amiee laughed softly and walked over to the tabel taking the last butterbeer to the tabel. Her apron was being streched tight against her stomach and her feet was killing her, but least now there was actually a reason for when her boss gave her a bonus besides the fact he had a soft spot in his heart for Aimee.
"Here you go ma'am." She grinned to the customer. Looking over at the people at the tabel over, Aimee felt her jaw drop slightly. It's been so long, Aimee couldn't be sure it was her. She just stood there like a moron, triyng to decide if she wanted to talk to the woman she thought was Shelby.

"Mum, you're not old. You're only thirty..." she trails off rolling her eyes a bit when Shell raises an eyebrow at her. "Momma is twenty five." James chimes in making Shell grin and Jenny to roll her eyes again.

Shell kept smiling just looking around the bar, well until her eyes landed on Aimee Baker. She hadn't seen her in years and seemed to be pregnant she would guess if someone asked Shell. Jenny forms a curious face when looking at her mother's expression and follows her eyesight over to Aimee as well. "Isn't she Jay's cousin or friend or something like that? I wonder if she knows that he's gone..." she says softly to Shell, but she just kept staring at her as Aimee was staring at her. Shell didn't know how to respond to this situation.

Aimee nodded in response to the thank you from the customer but didn't really take her eyes from Shelby. Seeing as she was looking back at her the same way it was obvious that it was Shelby. Aimee laid one hand on her stomach and the other on her lower back and took a few steps torwards their tabel. With a slow smile she asked, "Shelby that you?" Aimee questioned just to be sure.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell didn't say anything, just a mere nod before letting out a deep sigh. What was there to say to her? She didn't know her that well either. However the time when she was still blind and four of them at Hogwarts were wondering around in the dark came to mind but she couldn't really say they could be friends from that. Their only connection was Jay and he was gone. "Yes Aimee it's her. She's just overcome by shock." Jenny grins slightly at Aimee then her mother before Shell bumped her elbow off the table.

Aimee chuckled at Jennys comment. "Man you've grown up Jenny," Aimee said. She knew that Shelby and her weren't really friends or anything but that fact that Aimee had seen another person that she knew was something to be happy about. Aimee looked over at Shelby again and tilted her head a little. "You okay?"

[Shelby Crescent]

"Yeah I know. But mom insists that I'm still a little girl. Just tried to explain that I could get married, have a kid and have firewhisky if I wanted." Shell shifts her eyes over to Jenny's beaming smile, just shaking her head. "Not until you move out of the house. I told you that already." she says sighing a bit. "Yeah, I'm okay. Just haven't seen you in a few years is all..."

[Aimee Baker]

"That's my fault," Aimee commented to Shelby then turned to Jenny. "Firewisky really isn't all it's brought up to be. And you don't have to worry about getting married or having a kid yet. Slow down and actually live." She chuckled.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell shakes her head a bit before looking down at her pregnant stomach. "How many kids do you have now? Not anywhere close to me are you?" she teases before Jenny sighs a little. "I know, but mum here insists that I'm still a little girl is all." she says smiling at James and curiousity at Aimee's stomach. "He's never seen someone expecting before. He's my youngest."

[Aimee Baker]

Aimee chuckled softly and pulled up an empty chair, then untied her apron before sitting down. "Well this is going to be my fourth. I don't really want another one." She said with a small smile. "She just wants you to enjoy your youth, that's all." Aimee says to Jenny with a small simle, then gives James a smile. "Aye, it's okay. The twins were a little curious to."

"Does Kaloris not want another one too or just you? I know it's a lot but you'll learn to love it. I did." she says with a faint laugh as James kept staring at her stomach. "Momma wants another baby cause everyone's leaving." he says making Jenny bite her lip and Shell to sigh. "Within two or three years most of them are going to be moved out and gone." she explains.

[Aimee Baker]

"Uh, K-..Kaloris and I split a while back." Aimee explained softly, then chuckled softly. "Yeah...I know I will." Aimee added. She nodded again, "I can see where your coming from. How's Jay?"

[Shelby Crescent]

"I'm sorry, I didn't know... then is it his or someone elses baby?" she asks with a weak smile, knowing how it felt to get pregnant by someone else, but she wasn't saying it was a good thing either. "He. He died... they said he was drunk or was too stressed and drove off a bridge into a river. We were in the middle of a divorce, but I wanted it to work though..." she says softly, slowly trailing off as James looked down at his hands and Jenny watched her mother, not taking her blue eyes off of her.
