Lake wandered over to the railing and leant against it again, she looked down at the rippling water just as a tear rolled down her cheek. It dropped off the edge of her cheek and into the clear water.
"You're just saying it because you think you should..."
"Maybe it skipped a generation." Elle giggled as she sat back down.
Lake folded her arms in front of her and nervously brushed her hair behind her ear. "I look like nothing compared to everyone else here..."
"I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss that idea Ly..." Elle said as she set Jamei down in her cot. "Twins do run in your family."
Lake blushed a more vibrant shade of red then she had ever done in her life. "I-I-I'm re-really no-not..." She managed to stammer out.
"Truth is Mickey I've never just thought of you as mate..." Lake mumbled, looking away in that way she always did when she was about to say something that the possible consequences off terrified her. "I just resigned myself to thinking that's all we could be... I mean, you're popular and I spent most of my school life so far under the radar the teachers didn't even notice me, You're ridiculously good looking and I'm average at best... And you always had Jazmin..."
"A big baby too if you're showing this much by three months." Elle commented as she carefully stood up to put Jamei in her downstairs cot. After having the twins Conni had brought two cots, and now to make things easier for everyone they had one downstairs and one upstairs so there was no need for baby monitors and such which, with Casey around, was just going to lead to chaos.
"Would explain your weight gain, I just thought the baby weight from Cory had finally found you." Elle giggled weakly.
OOC- I'm getting kinda fed up with the snow now DX She shook her head. Was this really happening? Was this all one wonderful, but heartbreaking, dream? It was too good to be true, nothing in her life that she'd wanted she'd ending up getting. Why would this be different? Maybe he's had too much to drink and thought it'd be funny? Maybe one of his cousins put him up to it? They were a rather cruel bunch at times after all.
"You're pregnant...?" Elle asked, looking up from her daughter who had fallen asleep her arms.
OOC- Yay ^^ I haven't had a hair cut in aaaages, I really should. But I have really curly hair so it doesn't really show most of the time. "You thought what...?" She asked, heart racing in embarrassment.
OOC- Okies ^^ Getting up early sucks D8 Lake's eyes widened and she looked up at him. And before she could think of a more eloquent response she blurted out: "I love you. More then anything."
Lake opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't think of anything to say and promptly shut it again. The blush slowly darkened. OOC- If you like.
"Oh well." She said, eating some of the cake on her fork. Lake blushed brightly. "Wh-Why...?" OOC- Sure.
"In that case the last three years have been one big blonde moment." "Alright then, in that case I'm off to glomp the relatives. See you." He grinned before vaulting over the table and vanishing off to tackle his siblings. "What about...?" Lake asked, hoping to draw the topic of conversation away from herself. It'd only been a year since Mickey and Jazmin had split up, and he'd cared about her a lot, so it was too soon for any hope at all. Right?
"I don't get how they haven't noticed each other noticing each other before." Immy said, stabbing her cake with her fork. "Possibley." Casey chuckled in a teasing manner. "Maybe, I don't really know. First wedding I've been too." Lake giggled nervously. "I've just been thinking a little too much, that's all."
"What with you two being accidents and all." He smirked. "They've been dancing around each other how long now?" "Y-Yeah... F-Fine..." She stammered out, continuing to wipe her face as fresh tears fell from her sparkling eyes.
"Don't be stupid Maddie, this isn't your fault."
"Well I didn't have a whole lot of time to think." "Oh! Finally! It's about time." Immy giggled. "Huh? Oh! Hello." Lake said, quickly wiping her face again and turning around to face the tall blonde.
