"H-have it and raise it, give it away or... stop it in it's tracks now..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:22 pm

Will cringed at the last one. "We...we can't do.....

No. It's not my call there."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:26 pm

"I don't know. I... I just... it's not like I like the thought of... th-that, but... Oh god damnit!" she buries her head in her hands and lets out a quiet sob.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:29 pm

Will pulls Sara in close to give her a hug.

"It's...it's all going to be OK. We're going to get through this. Whatever you...whatever we decide, I'll be there every step of the way. For as long as it takes," he said, one hand sliding unconsciously down to Sara's belly.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:38 pm

She clamps her hands over Will's. "Is it? I... I feel like I'm t-trapped... I have no idea how to even start deciding a-anything..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:43 pm

"Slowly. Surely. We're not in any danger right now. We need to consider...everything, the pros and the cons...we need to figure out, slowly, how everything will work...and trust in each other to make the right choice."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:47 pm

"I don't even know if the is a right choice..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:49 pm

"There's a best choice for us, and we just have to find it. We will, we will. You're strong, I'm tender, we're here for one another...this won't beat us."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:00 pm

She buries her head in Will's shoulder. "I... I'm too young for this... it's not that I don't want kids... we just started college, this isn't something that's supposed to happen now..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:03 pm

"We're both too young for this.

I remember your dream..the two of us, the kid on the beach. I want to be a daddy, Sara...I just don't know..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:14 pm

"But... not now... We have a whole lifetime for that. Had..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:16 pm

"God, don't I know it.

This is really happening..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:22 pm

"Either we screw things up before we even had a chance to built our lives or I spend the rest of my live wondering what could have been... that isn't fair..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:26 pm

"...it's not ruined," he says, after a pause. "We can salvage this."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:33 pm

"I... I don't know if I could take of a child on top of all this..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:36 pm

"...I don't know, either. I just don't know.

But it's us. If....if we do go through with this, we're a family."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:41 pm

"I'd want that, I just... it's..." her voice trails off.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:44 pm

"I know, I know.

Makes me want to ask if they COULD somehow pause it for four years...but four years worth of morning sickness probably would be hell. I wonder what they could do to help us out..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:08 am

"Dr. Crusher just said the school would support either decision, but not how..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:11 am

"Well, we'll go back and find out. Together."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:19 am

Sara nods. "I guess we should... I just... wanted out after she showed me. Thinking it through and listening to detailed options wasn't really on my mind..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:22 am

"Nah, for the same reason making any decision right now's a bad call. Better to give it a little time to sink in.

...we'll probably have to tell people sooner or later, but let's not, like, hang a banner up quite yet."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:27 am

"Yeah, no... gotta figure this out first..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:30 am

"Well...when we're ready, let's plot this out. Together."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:33 am

"I just need some time to think right now before I can even start trying to come up with a plan."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:35 am

Will nods. "All the time you need."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:39 am

"Thanks, Will..." She hugs Will tightly, holding on to him for a long time.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:41 am

"And whatever you need me to do--whatEVER you need me to do, even if it's just to distract you for a while, tell me. That's my job here. Even if it's just a punching bag," he smiled.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:51 am

"I don't need a punching bag right now. I just... need you to hold me and tell me everything's going to be okay, even if it might not be..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:56 am

"Well, you don't KNOW, but it's a Lady's prerogative to change her mind," Will smiled, "especially when her Man has pledged himself to her."

"It's all going to be OK. It WILL be. Just as soon as we decide what we want."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:58 am

Cal walked in, Tink on his shoulder, laughing at something she'd just said. "Mac! Beer me! And a thimble for the lady!" he joked.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 1:09 am

"After what you did to me earlier you still think I am a Lady? That is so sweet." Tink laughed. Noting Will and Sara she called out cheerily.

" 'Ello Duckies!"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 1:10 am

"Tink. Cal," Will smiled, grimly. "And how are the two lovebirds today?"

His voice is lacking it's usual cheerfulness.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 1:14 am

"Hi you two..." Sara mostly just sounds weary.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 1:15 am

"No idea, how are you guys?" Cal chuckled as he took a seat at the bar.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 1:16 am

"It's been a day. You taking good care of my guitarist?" he smiled, still holding on to Sara.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 1:19 am

"Could be better I guess." she musters a weak smile.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 1:25 am

"Oh he is looking after me alright, looking after me all night long.." Tink chuckled.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 1:28 am

Will cracked a small smile. "Glad to hear it. Depressed fairies are bad news."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 3:51 am

"Can't let a fairy get bored. You know how much damage someone who can slip by unseen can do? She's a natural disaster on wings."
