[ DINNER PARTY. ]

[{ destiny brooke. }]

R E S E R V E D ; ;

Destiny was showing now. A small bump was beginning to form on her lower torso and she now had a strong maternal and protective bonding with it. Even more so than Talan. Talan was thrilled aobut the baby and Destiny was just ... ecstatic really. but another thing that made it just perfect was the fact that her best friend, and sister, was pregnant also. At three months she'd had her first unltrasound, and everything was fine with the baby. Her and Talan had spent hours looking at the picture of their little blob, as Destiny liked to name it. They didn't know whether it was girl or boy yet, and really, it still looked like a blob of cells. Things had been really good recently, apart from the fact that Talan was trying to find the rapist of 2003. Ah well, that shows exactly how protective he was over her. She loved him lots for that.

Tonight they were going to a dinner party, she'd got a fancy black dress in an 'early maternity' size from a posh shop in Beverly Hills, she'd been spending her dads cash again, she looked amazing, with her hair curled and pulled up into a clip at the back, so's that her bangs were visible, and her curls just dangled at the back of her head. She wore a string of pearls around her neck, with a diamond pendant in the shape of a teardrop, hanging from it, sparkling crazily, and diamond and pearl earrings in her lobes. Pregnancy made her more beautiful than she already was.

So they were off to Sienna's dinner party, it had had to be postponed, why she didn't really know, but Lane had rang her telling her there was going to be a couple of big suprises for Sienna and not to give her any clues to anything. Destiny knew exactly what one big suprise'd be, he was going to propose. Well, she thought he was, she wasn't sure, I mean, you could never tell, he may be telling her he had a bit on the side and was off to live with her. But then a severly hormonal pregnant nineteen year old'd get up and smash his balls. she grinned at her thoughts as they proceeded to Seinna's door, holding hands with Talan. Marriage was something Destiny had thought about a lot recently, she was hoping she'd get their with Talan one day, and she'd even dreamed aobut getting married, well, getting ready for her wedding, she never saw her groom. Because she'd woke up to throw up.

She walked right up to the door, rapping on it, and then waiting, taking Talan's arms and wrapping them around her body. "Baby, you gotta impress my sister OK, she'll have all guards out today. She won't let no man hurt her little sister, but she'll like you ... hopefully." She said, leaning up and kissing him lightly just as the door opened it was Lane. She grinned and stepped into the house. It was a warm smelling apartment, very homely and lovely. The triplets, all dressed in pink dresses, with their brown hair held back by a pretty headband, all ran to Natasha who was playing on with couch. She smiled and took Talan's hand. "Time to meet my family Talan." She smiled at him, winking. "Sienna?" She called, finally finding her. She scanned over her, looking at her bump and laughing. They'dseen each other with bumps, but Destiny still found it funny.

[[xSIENNAbrooke]]

Sienna was upstairs when she heard the knock on the door. Their apartment, being at the top was a two story one but you couldn't really call it that. There were a set of stairs from the lounge to their room and a wall about a metre and a half high so you could look over it. The ceilings sloped into a point but they were pretty high, luckily for Lane. She was too short to worry about hitting her head. Their bed was in the middle facing the window so they had a gorgeous view of LA, including the hills and if you looked a little further you could see the ocean. She loved living there, she'd decorated it before Lane moved in and since he'd been there, he'd added his own little, stylish touch to a few things. It was so homely, always warm and glowing, but it wasn't like some old couples cottage in the middle of the forest. It was pretty retro, but fancy and stylish all the same.

She'd had Lane take her and Natasha shopping earlier that day for something to wear. She'd chose a pink silk dress for Natasha, not overly dressy as she knew she'd be running around and playing with the triplets all night, but she still looked smart, her shoulder length blonde hair in little pigtails. And Sienna had a knee length blue dress with black trousers underneath. Her hair was down and straight, flicking out at the bottoms and coming in around her face. She looked gorgeous, but unlike Destiny, she wasn't really taking to the idea of the bump. She was pretty sure Lane loved it but she couldn't stand the back ache and the sickness. And all of her clothes were starting to get a little tight around her stomach. In all, she was just a little fed up with it already, and knowing she had another 6 months left was like torture.

She heard her name being called and she leant over the wall, looking down below her. "Hey, I'm just up here. I'll be down in a sec." She called, turning to look in the mirror, running a hand through her hair, making sure it looked perfect.

Although Destiny and Talan had been together for a few months now, she hadn't really gotten to know him. She'd seen him a few times and said hey but they hadn't been introduced formally. She still wanted to check him out, see if he was suitable for her. But she was sure Destiny's judgement must count for something. She'd been through alot herself, and she was sure she wouldn't go for any old guy. But she just wanted to make sure. She made her way down stairs, bare-foot, deciding there was probably no point in wearing shoes. She'd end up taking them off soon anyway. "Hey." She said to them both, signalling at the chair for them to sit down. She made her way towards the triplets, crouching down at them. "Hey girlies! Don't you look cute! Tash, why don't you take them to play in your room?" She said, and Natasha, nodded, grabbing Nadia and Serenity's hands, and dragging them in, Asia following behind.

"Take a seat, I'm sorry its a bit of a mess, I haven't really had time to clean up." She smiled, picking up a few of Natasha's books and teddys, chucking them into the corner. "You look really nice, where did you get your dress from?" She asked, looking her up and down, smiling as she took a seat too. "Lane? Come in here, we've got guests." She said. Obviously he knew that but they could all be introduced first, then he could carry on with whatever he was doing. She stood up, allowing him to sit down and then sat on his lap, her legs crossed on the arm of the chair and her arm around his neck.

"So your Talan, the guy I've heard so much about, Destiny never stops talking about you." She glanced at Destiny with a grin, rolling her eyes a little. "I'm Sienna." She added. Well, obviously. "Do either of you want a drink?" She asked going through a list of what they had.

[{ destiny brooke. }]

Destiny grinned and sat on the sofa, watching as the girls all ran off together. It made her smile to see children having afun time, Lane came over to her and kissed her cheek, and shook Talan's hand. She was still a little worried about the whole thing with Lane, he'd ruined her life once before, but maybe he'd changed. So, whilst sienna'd be keeping her eye on Talan, she'd be keeping her eye on Lane. Sisterly love.

As Sienna offered her a drink she nodded. "You have any pre apple juice? Talk aobut cravings, I can't get enough of the stuff." She grinned and laughed as she rubbed her stomch. She still couldn't quite believe that she was four motnhs pregnant, and only had to wait another five months until she had a baby in her arms again, and she could keep Talan busy changing daipers and what not.

she was still hoping for a boy, of course, if it was a girl, she'd be thrilled, but she wanted a boy, and she knew that Talan wanted a boy, because of the way he always said 'he'. She could remember being this far gone with the triplets, she was huge, but now, she could tell she only had one, because she just looked like a bigger size clothing, like she'd been eating too much or something. She grinned again, and placed a hand on Talan's thigh, giving it a quicky squeeze. "So, Lane, what you hoping for? Boy or girl?" she said, turning her head to the man that sat on the sofa under Sienna.

Lane shrugged, he really didn't care. He was so thrilled about Sienna's pregnancy, he hadn't had time to make his mind up. At the moment, he'd been going through the name change of the club and trying to think of names for the baby, going through the finalization of the house being bought and all of that. "I'm not bothered Destiny. I'd love the child whatever they are. You?"

Anyone would be able to tell that Lane was eyeing up Talan. Men, what were they like. She smiled at his stupidity and the shrugged herself. "I want a mini-Talan. A little boy'd be great. But like you said, I wouldn't be too fussed if it was either." She placed a hand across Talan's chest and looked around the apartment. "What aobut you Sienna, us girls, we always have a picture in our heads, what do you see your little one as? Boy/girl/bit of both?" She giggled and winked. cosying in to Talan comfortably, kicking off her flat shoes nothing like making yourself at home now was there.

[Talan♠McInnis]

Everything was going great. He had found somebody to manage his club so he could have more time for them. Jacky had performed and blown the crowd away, which had also impressed an agent that he had managed to convince to come down and see her. She was signed almost immediately and now they had worked out a deal for her to play at his club regularly as a way of promoting her. He and her had even spent some time working on lyrics. It was really nice having someone like a little sister around. He really missed Kiara. She was his only family, that he knew anyway. Of course he considered his parents family, that goes without saying, but Kiara was his blood.

Besides that, he had been dating Destiny for four months now. When he had gone with her to get the ultrasound, he was so excited, even just to see such a tiny little mass that had ways to go. It looked kind of like a tiny little alien. The nurse had commented on the look on his face, seeing the twinkle in his eye and saying how she could see him making a wonderful father. That had only made him smile more. He and Destiny got along great, but there times when he knew she worried about his relationship with Sydney. After that day he saved her in the alley, he had allowed her to move into his small apartment at the club since he really hadn’t been using it anyway. He and Sydney were really close friends now, but there was absolutely nothing going on. Destiny hadn’t been to keen on that at first, but she had gotten over it, bless her heart.

They were standing at the door and he listened to her, wrapping his arms around her, his hands resting on the tiny bump that held their child. He did that quite a bit, held her stomach. It was all because he wanted to be there to feel whenever he or she would kick. At night, when they would go to bed, he would often lay with her, resting his head above her stomach and sing to the baby while he rested his hand gently on the bump. He also liked to read to the little boy or girl inside. It was so cute to often have the baby kick when hearing his voice. Sure, they couldn’t understand, but it was really never to early.

A teacher back in school had once told a story about how they had read to their child throughout the pregnancy and even as a baby while she had slept in her crib. The point of the story was that she had turned out to love reading and was a very smart little girl. That’s what Talan wanted. He wanted his son or daughter to be intelligent just so they could have endless possibilities for their life. If they were all that smart, he would be ok with that. No matter what, he loved their baby more than anything. It was kind of strange how one could love something so much unconditionally. He answered her, “Well, all I can promise is to be me and hope that’s enough.”

Wearing dark denim jeans with black boots, a green t-shirt with a white pin striped dress shirt over that, all underneath a black blazer, he stood and waited with his girl for her sister. He greeted her accordingly and grinned down at Destiny when Sienna said she talked about him so much. That made him feel really good, to know she felt like bragging about him. He listened to them chat and greeted Lane accordingly as well when the time came. Sitting on the couch, he held Destiny close, hand resting lightly on her ever so slightly swollen belly, he kissed her temple as she cuddled into him. Words couldn’t explain the state of bliss he had been in the past few months.

He hadn’t told anybody, as he ws pretty good at keeping it to himself, but he had Couvade Syndrome. Yes, it’s true. He was going through a sympathetic pregnancy. He had strange changes in appetite and cravings. He got nauseus sometimes. The only symptom he didn’t have was the weight gain. For once in his life he was very thankful for his overactive metabolism. Other wise, he wouldn’t be able to keep in shape as well as normal. Nobody knew though about this. He thought is was kind of embarrassing, so he hid it well.

When Lane asked Destiny what she wanted as far as gender, he smiled again when she said a mini-him. That was really sweet. He had to put in, “I’m with Lane. I don’t have a preference. I’m just so excited to have a baby at all, especially with you.” The last part was geared more towards Destiny as he looked at her adoringly.

[[xSIENNAbrooke]]

Sienna listened to their conversation, watching as Talan kissed her forehead. She was analysing his every move. She was way too over protective. What the hell would she be like when her kids started dating? Awful, thats what. She turned away from him, looking at Destiny when she spoke, shrugging her shoulders a little. "I don't really care as long as its healthy. Although I'd prefer that its just one gender." She smiled, sitting up in Lane's lap. "I'll go finish the cooking baby. Talan, why don't you come give me a hand?" She asked, standing up, holding onto Lane's hand then dropping it as she began to walk away.

When she reached the kitchen she shut the door after Talan, making her way towards the stove where the sauce for the pasta cabonara was cooking. She turned to face Talan, looking him up and down and moving to the side, leaning against the top pulling herself up onto the counter infront of the glasses. ”So, Talan, are you and Destiny okay? You’re not like fighting or anything? I mean, she can be a bitch at the best of times but being pregnant and all, she’ll probably be ten times worse.” She smiled, leaning forwards a little, both palms on the counter with her fingers curled around the edge.

She could remember a time just before Sienna was due to move out and her and Destiny had been fighting over something that was in Destiny’s room that Sienna swore was hers, she couldn’t remember what it was now but Destiny had gone mad, yelling and screaming at a stunned Sienna. She was usually so level-headed and sweet but then she just had a fit and all Sienna could do was stand and watch, backing out of the room slowly. She new Destiny had a pretty mean side to her, she’d been on the receiving end a few times and she was sure Talan would have witnessed her at her worst at some point, especially with her being hormonal and different.

”Help yourself to a drink or whatever. The glasses are above me.” She said grinning again, she had a plan and this would most certainly show if he was really right for Destiny.

[Talan♠McInnis]

Talan could feel the way her eyes kept evaluating him. Sienna was definitely sizing him up. It didn’t bother him though. He was always protective with his sister Kiara, and he had even become that way with Jacky, whom he saw as a little sister as well. Actually, lets face it. Talan is protective like that over any woman. It all goes back to that love of women he has. No in the womanizer way of course. It’s a love that is more in a an appreciative way. Like, somebody who says they love art.

She requested that he help her out with dinner, he gladly obliged by standing with her and saying, “Sure, I love cooking.” He cooked for Destiny and the girls all the time. It was one of many things he had made sure to become quite good at. Following her in the kitchen after he had smiled at his girl, given her a sweet kiss to the lips, and let his hand slide reluctantly from her abdomen. As he entered the kitchen, he was a little curious what she could possibly need help with. It looked as though she was cooking a very simple meal. At least, in his opinion. The sauce and such smelt great though.

He was about to ask what he could do to help when she started talking. Leaning against the door, he shrugged. “She’s absolutely wonderful. I think we get along great, and yes, she is hormonal, but I haven’t witnessed anything to bad. Besides, I always bring her back around. She hates that I insist she only drink water and eat healthier most of the time.” Even as he spoke, he studied Sienna intently. What was she up to? She hadn’t really had him come in there to help with dinner, and the way she sat on the counter seemed quite suggestive of other things. Things that were not right and were completely out of the question for him.

Now he felt like turning to go back to the living room. She didn’t need his help, and he didn’t need lecturing. As he was about to open up the door, he listened to her words and decided that he could grab drinks for he and Destiny, but he didn’t know what Lane wanted so he figured Sienna could handle that. He moved forward, and reached up to open the cabinet in order to grab some glasses. He would drink only water, but for tonight, he would fuss and he would let Destiny drink apple juice. He wasn’t trying to boss her around or anything. He just did a great deal of reading and wanted the healthiest baby possible.

[[xSIENNAbrooke]]

She watched him as he spoke, nodding a little. She hadn't quite gotten to the stage where he was bossing her around. She hoped he wouldn't get like that, she wasn't particularly unhealthy anyway. The only things she could say was she didn't eat alot and she drank maybe a little too often. Not that she was an alcoholic, she was just a bit of a party girl, fun loving and active. But Lane wasn't too possesive and annoying. "So you're pretty dominant huh? Getting her to eat healthily and stuff. My parent's could never get her to eat fruit. She was too stubborn." She replied, watching as he turned to leave then came back towards her for the drinks.

She grinned a little leaning back. The glasses were just above her in the cupboard so he'd have to reach up to get them. She signalled above her head to show him where the glasses were, tilting her head to the side a little. As he reached up, she grabbed his waist, pulling him towards her, her lips pressing against his. She knew this was wrong and she wasn't exactly attracted to him. Yeah, he was pretty cute but Sienna went for older guys, the bad boy type, just like Lane really. And although he was a bit bad boyish, he just wasn't what she went for. She could see what Destiny saw in him though. Blue eyes, blondish hair. He seemed like he cared for her alot, but she was just testing him.

The thing with Sienna was that she was pretty seductive. Probably thanks to her job, but she could smile at a guy and they were just locked under her spell. Well, that was the sleazy type anyway. But was Talan sleazy? That was what she was going to find out.

She slipped her arms around his neck, her tongue slipping into his mouth, parting his lips. Inside she was grinning, looked like he wasn't going to pass. Or maybe he was...

[Talan♠McInnis]

Talan really didn’t like the way she said ‘dominant’ and his friendly smile left his face. It was one thing to try and get to know somebody and figure them out, but she seemed to only want to push his buttons and try and get him to act in a way that could give her reason to dislike him. There was a big difference in trying to get to know somebody and trying to ambush them. She made it sound like he was some jerk who had to be in control. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. This was Talan we were talking about here. He liked to please whether it be by opening doors, paying for dinners, making dinner or whatever meals, and then of course with sex as well as so many other things.

“No. Nobody ever said I was 'dominant.' I never force her to do anything she doesn’t want to do and I don’t get mad if she doesn’t agree with me on things. I just want our baby to be as healthy as possible and I let her know that how I feel about that stuff. That’s all. When you get right down to it, she eats what she wants,” he told her frankly, “Don’t think you know me in the mere few minutes we just met.” It was really frustrating that she wasn’t even really willing to give him a chance. If she was, she wouldn’t to him that way. It didn’t matter though. Talan knew that Destiny trusted him and knew him.

Recently, he had started the process of buying their own place. It was a nice place with plenty of space for all of them and in the same neighborhood as her parents since she liked being to close to them. He was going to surprise her with it someday soon. He was trying to plan it out in a romantic way. Like, leaving little notes at special places with hint as to where to find the next note, and eventually she would get to the house, and he could be waiting inside and tell her how it’s all theirs. Though, technically it was under his name, but that was irrelevant for the time being. He planned on having an interior decorator dome in and all three of them - him, Destiny, and the decorator - could work on making the place their own.

As he reached into the cupboard, he felt Sienna’s hands upon his waist as she pulled him forward between her thighs. He had glanced down with a raised eyebrow, and as he looked back up, he had started to say “What the hell are you doing?” but was cut short after the ’the’ when her lips met his and her tongue made its way into his mouth. His tongue pressed against hers, but only as a means to push hers out, though it probably seemed otherwise. His hand that had reached for the glasses fell to her shoulder while the other moved to her waist and he started to pull back while at the same time pushing against her, but not to hard because he didn’t want to hurt her or something by pushing her too hard against the cupboards. Leave it to Talan to try be a gentlman when she was pulling a stunt like this.

[{ destiny brooke. }]

Destiny frowned, she knew Sienna, and knew she never had anyone help her in the kitchen, so felt a little suspicious of what she was doing. She tried to tell Talan through body language to say no, she wasn't feeling too right aobut this and had decided not to let him go, but it was Talan, he wouldn't even let Destiny cook, probably because she was terrible, and would probably start getting frustrated, especially now her hormones were all over the place. She watched him stand up, sighing and falling back against the sofa as he left out of sight, and rubbing her tummy. She looked up at Lane, and scrunched up her face. She didn't know exactly what to make of Lane. He was a nice enough guy, but she didn't know whether he really had changed like Sienna said. Recently all the two had talked was Lane and Talan. Which brought her to remember the little smile when Sienna told him Destiny'd been talkng about him a lot. she had. A lot. In fact, it was getting to the point where everyone was bored of her. But she couldn't help it, Talan was just ... something she needed to talk about.

She took her eyes from her stomach to Lane again, but realised he'd gone whilst she was daydreaming, she saw him out of the corner of her eye, heading to the kitchen. All alone. She stood up herself, deciding to follow them in, just in time to see what they were doing.

Her mouth fell open, and Lane pushed his hand out until it connected with Talan, she saw his confused expression, and Sienna's cly grin, which turned into a slight frown and 'oops' look and Lane came in. Of course, bewing her man he started swearing acussing and gripped her arm, tugging her away, not caring not to hurt her like Talan had been oding. Destiny bit her lip and kept quiet, watching everybody's eyes fall on her. She turned away and walked back into the lounge, grabbing her purse, and slipping on her shoes. she couldn't stay here now, she didn't know what to think. she knew something wasn't right when Sienna had dragged ihm away, but, she saw them kissing, she saw him holding her, even if it wasn't in the way he held Destiny. she walked out, taking a deep breath and feeling her eyes gloss over with tears slightly, so what if it was a test, Destiny didn't know that, and seeing her sister kiss the love of her life hurt her. she began walking down the street, letting a tear fall. She could still hear Lane accusing them of things, she finally got down to the dead end, and fell onto the grassy area where you could over look the whole city, she shuddered, crying. Why? Why did this have to happen now. to her? With her sister? When she was four months pregnant. But then again, maybe she was testing him, seeing if he'd go along with kissing her, maybe they'd interupted just as they'd started, Talan did look kind of shocked, maybe she'd got the wrong idea, she wiped her eyes quickly and looked around, to see if anyone was ocming, she saw someone coming odwn, but the dark lights made it hard to see who. So she turned around again.

she wouldn't have cried if she wasn't so hormonal, she maybe would have yelled, but she could exactly handle that shock at the moment, and if theres something she didn't want to see or to confront, she'd walk away, and in this case, she'd walked away literally. All she could think of were the two possibilities. Maybe he'd come onto her, or she'd come onto him, testing him, see if he was 'right' for her little sister. She scoffed, she could bare to think of it either way.

[[xSIENNAbrooke]]

Sienna felt him trying to pull away but he was hardly doing it in a way that told her to get the hell off. He had his hands on her sides, pushing gently and his tongue was just more or less playing with hers. Well, thats what it seemed like to her anyway. She knew he probably felt uncomfortable but he was pretty subtle about showing it.

She heard the door open, and her eyes shot open as she pushed him away, slipping off the side, luckily, landing on her feet. She felt Lane's hand on her arm as he yanked her away, causing her to jolt forwards. He let go and she rubbed her shoulder, a frown on her face. She looked at Talan and she could tell she looked so guilty. It wasn't even supposed to be like that. It wasn't meant to be seen in that way, well not even seen at all. Destiny stood looking at her and she just wanted the ground to swallow her up. "Destiny, I'm sorry. It's not - " She stopped as Destiny turned back into the lounge, slipping on her shoes and heading out of the front door. Great. That was their friendship over. What the hell had she been thinking? She hadn't been thinking at all. Lane was still yelling at them both but she wasn't even listening anymore. She was just looking down at the floor. "Will you just shut the fuck up?" She yelled, turning and walking out of the kitchen, running up to the bedroom, to find some shoes. She had to go after Destiny. She could live without Talan, possibly without Lane but Destiny was her sister, she had to explain what had happened.

She found a pair of slip on flats and pulled them on, grabbing a jacket and running down the stairs. She looked into the kitchen where Lane still was. She wasn't sure where Talan was, he might have still been in there, he might have gone but she walked out the door anyway, heading for the stairs. She couldn't believe how out of hand this had got. It wasn't meant to be like this. It was supposed to be harmless although now, she can't really think how it was meant to be harmless. Wouldn't Talan have just told anyway? She didn't know how her head had been working but it was just one huge mistake and she had to let Destiny know that. And Lane of course. But thinking about it, this could be classed as the second time she'd cheated on him. She wouldn't be suprised if he wouldn't take her back. She loved him so much though. She'd speak to him when she got back.

She had her cell in her hand, typing a message to Destiny as she left the penthouse. It wasn't what it looked like babe, I was just testing him and he was pushing me away. I'd never do that to you. I'm so sorry. Please tell me where you are so I can come speak to you. xXx She put, pressing send. Her foot slipped from the step, sending her flying forwards more or less from top to bottom. A blood-curdling scream came from her mouth as she hit the ceramic floor, her head smashing against the tiles, blood beginning to pool around it. She was out cold, lying on her front, her limbs all over the place, her hair covering her face.

[Talan♠McInnis]

God damn it. What the fuck was she doing? Sure, he wasn’t shoving her off harshly, but he certainly didn’t want her in his mouth, or her hands on him, or even her lips touching his in anyway. He figured that she would get the picture and lay off, but he was wrong. Apparently she needed a good hard shake and he was so thrown for a loop it took him to long to decide she needed him to be a jerk and give her a nice hard shove. By then, Lane had walked in followed shortly by Destiny. The gave Talan a shove, which he was actually thankful for, when normally he’d be a little concerned about how he had hurt her, cuz he saw her rub her arm.

Everything had looked so wrong and he could officially say he really disliked Sienna. Trust and loyalty were two of his biggest convictions, as has been said before, and she just violated both with her sister. He frowned when he saw the horrible pain in his girlfriend’s eyes. How could he let this happen? He’d picked up on her suggestive vibe, and had even meant to leave the kitchen, but went to get the drinks anyway. If he had know what her sister was like, he wouldn’t have done so. He had thought though that they were so close and he hadn’t expected her to do something like that, even if he’d gotten some sort of vibe.

He looked to Lane as Destiny left the room and shook his head. He hated arguing and especially yelling. You can’t yell at Talan and get anywhere, and he definitely wasn’t about to be provoked into a shouting match. As Sienna left the kitchen, Talan pushed past Lane, ignoring the man completely as if he didn’t exist. He understood the older male’s anger, but he wasn’t going to sit there and be yelled at. He believed in talking things out. You know? Like adults. None of that mattered though, he had a girl to go after.

Heading outside right away, he asked a neighbor who was in the next yard if he had seen a blonde woman leave the house and what direction she’d gone in. With a polite thank you as he was pointed down the street, he moved hurriedly in that direction. As he came closer, he slowed a little bit and as he reached her took her in his arms. "Please, let me explain,” he pleaded, “I didn’t kiss her, I was just getting some glasses to get us some drinks and she was sitting on the counter. She pulled me into her and kissed me. I was shocked as hell and I tried pushing her off, I swear. I should have been rougher in the way I did so, I just, I didn’t want to hurt her, but she didn’t take the hint, and I should have been more forceful in getting her off me. I’m sorry. Please believe me, I would never betray you. Never.”

He kneeled at her feet and pulled her close, arms wrapped around the back off thighs, just below her arse. His cheek resting against her stomach. He leaned back looking at her little bump and placing his hand on it lovingly. “I love you, and I love our baby. I would never betray either of you. Please believe me,” he pleaded once more, his eye looking up into hers as he asked for her to believe him once more.

[{ destiny brooke. }]

Destiny stood again, just in time to hear Talan's voice, she felt him embrace her, then kneel at her feet, she looked down at her, tears dripping down her porcelain cheeks. she gripped his hands from around her legs and shook her head, pulling him up and embracing him again, sobbing slightly. She kissed his ear and neck softly, breifly pressing her lips against each place before resting her chin on his shoulder. "It's OK, I believe you ... " She whispered softly, her vouice tear strained. She held him tightly and refused to let go, closing her eyes and wanting him to stay with her, but their silence and loving moment was soon interupted.

she felt her cell vibrate through her bag, and heard the little tone of a message, and just as she gripped the zipper, she heard a scream, severeal thuds then Lane's shouts, but they weren't angry shouts, they were strained, distraught calls. "SIENNA!" She heard, she gripped her cell and read the message, and then dropped her stuff and ran as best she could up to Sienna, she knelt by her side, next to Lane, but she pushed him away harshly, wping her sisters hair from her bruised face. She repeated the same thing over quietly. "no ... no ... Sienna? ... no ... please." Destiny's hands and wrists were covered in Sienna's blood, and her knees were she leant in the drained crimson liquid already. But she noticed somthing else, further ahead, towards her legs, a trickle of blood, slowly turning into a stream, "No, the ... not the baby ... no ..." Destiny moved up to her sistrs legs, seperating them, she shook her head, pressing against her blood socked thighs. Then there was a rush of pinkish liquid, the small amount of amniotic fluid protecting the growing foetus. She'd miscarried. destiny shook her head and stood up. This was all her fault, if she hadn't have run out .. if she had just have stayed and asked them there and then ... none of this would'be happened. "Sienna wake up princess ... Sienna please ... Sienna! please wake up ... wake up now ...!" She said, searching for a pulse, she'd always dreamed of being a nurse, in Accident and Emergency, but this isn't anything she ever dreamed of. she found a slight pulse, but Sienna wasn't responding, blood was gushing from her head and all Destiny could think of, was burying her sister. She turned to Lane telling him to 'ring a fucking ambulance' and then looked at Talan, standing up and falling into his arms, quivering. "This is all my fault Talan .. this is my fault. I should have knew she was testing you I should have knew you wouldn't ... I sohuldn't have ran away like that ..." She fell to the floor herself, and just wished she was dreaming ... or 'nightmare'ing. She rocked slightly, hoping someone would just embrace her and tell her everything was going to be alright and Sienna was going to wake up and live and be fine and the baby'd still be there and they'd be little chums born on the same day like they'd wanted. She screamed softly and burst into tears again.

Relief washed over him as she pulled him to his feet and kissed and hugged him, then telling him she believed him. He loved her even more in that moment. She didn’t yell at him or hit him or anything and she believed in him and his love for her. He held her close, her shoulder against his. “I love you so much,” he told her, “So very much.” The next thing he knew, there was a scream, Lane calling Sienna’s name, Destiny received a message on her cell and was rushing back to Sienna. It was all such a blur.

He followed Destiny, worried about what had happened, and as they approached, he saw the blood, and Sienna’s body sprawled out on the ground. He immediately pulled out his cell phone to call for help as she pulled ahead of him, rushing to Sienna’s side. He watched the sad scene that unfolded before him. He was so in shock of it all and so terribly worried for them all. “I already called,” he said, visibly in shock from it all and deep concern written clearly on his face. Destiny, was suddenly collapsing in front of him and he caught her in his arms, holding her tight. Wanting so badly to shield her from the pain.

“No, don’t you dare say that,” he told her, “This is not your fault. It’s an accident. Everything will be alright. She’ll be ok. As soon as the paramedics get her and she get to the hospital, everything will be ok. She’ll be ok.” He kept saying it as if the more he repeated it, it would somehow be true. It had to be ok. For all their sakes. It wasn’t her fault. It was his. If he had been more forceful in getting her off him… No, he shouldn’t even have allowed it to happen in the first place. He had gotten that vibe. He knew women better than that and had easily picked up on her vibe. Why had he let himself fall into the trap?

He should have just left the kitchen as he started to in the first place. Now that he thought about it, Destiny had tried to keep him in the living room, he just hadn’t noticed and if he had paid attention, he would never have been in the kitchen with her in the first place. This all could have been avoided if he had listened to all the signals. He always read people, why hadn’t tonight. This was all his fault. That was Talan for you. He could turn anything into his fault. Now Sienna was hurt, she had probably lost the baby, Destiny was blaming herself, and he was to blame for it all.

She tightened her grip around his body, pulling herself up to her feet as best she could and closing her eyes, pressing her head into his chest, shaking with hurt and fright. She saw all the girls run down and huddle around Destiny, she moved them to her car, the one they'd arrived in, just in time for the ambulance arriving, she told the girls to stay in the car whilst she sorted things out with Sienna. As any little girl would be, Natasha was screaming, heartbroken, and refusing to talk to anyone, the triplets were crying through fear too, and holding onto Natasha. Destiny hugged Talan again, she really couldn't make out what to think. She drove to the hospital, still shaking, every so often swerving in the slightest, they got there, and now it was just the waiting game, to find out the news. For the first twelve hours, they sat in the family room, Destiny huddled into Talan, the girls with a duvet over their heads, until the doctor came, and told them that Sienna was in a coma. And that at the time, they had no insight into any further interuptions or whether the deep slumber may be life threatening, Destiny didn't cry, she just shook, and closed her eyes, resting her head in Talan's lap, protecting her baby with one hand, and draped in her large woolen, knitted blanket that was always over her bed. She breathed deeply, and refrained from saying anything.





{| couldn't think what to put.

Sienna was out cold for a while but despite being unconcious she could hear faint noises. Of course, she had no idea what they were, she didn't even realise she was hearing them in her state.

As she was rushed into the emergency department, a nurse directed Lane, Destiny and the others to a room for family. From what she could make out, the girl's condition didn't seem very hopeful. She was lucky she hadn't broken her neck when she fell but she had a pretty bad twist in her ankle, a bad head injury and she wasn't sure but the baby didn't have much chance of survival either. "We're going to be taking her into theatre within the next few hours to check everything out. We've put stitches in the injury on her head and hopefully that should be okay but she's in a coma and its impossible to tell when she'll wake up. It could be a few days, it could be months. And we're going to do some scans on her head to check for any brain injuries. I just thought you should know."

[/color] She explained, a sympathetic look on her face. She did this everyday but this family seemed... different. There were triplets, then a young girl who looked nothing like the others, dark hair and green eyes, she must have been the daughter of the woman she was talking about. She just hoped she'd be okay.

The next time Sienna opened her eyes was a few days later. She was lay in a bed, machines all around her and wires and tubes connected to her. Her lips were dry and her body just felt heavy and tired. She blinked a few times, looking around her, her head still on the pillow. There didn't seem to be anyone in the room but she just had this strange feeling. She couldn't put her finger on it but she lifted her hand. It was black and blue, bruised all over. She had a terrible headache and she felt so drugged up and well, not with it. Her hand moved to rest on her stomach. It was flat. Then she remembered, she was pregnant. Or was she? How long had she been asleep? And why the hell was she even here?

The door opened and she looked towards it, squinting her eyes as the bright lights were switched on. "She's awake."[/color] Someone said and they sounded suprised. She opened her mouth but she couldn't seem make a sentence. "Lane? What? Where?" She stuttered as the nurse leant over her, changing the drip in her arm. The nurse smiled, putting her finger to her lip shushing her and then leaving the room, shutting the door with a soft thud, leaving Sienna upset and confused.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/center]
