After dropping off Tara, Monique and Kim over at Kim's place, Bonnie drove the others over to her house. By this time, she and Ron were deep in conversation about had happened at that afternoon's cheer practice. Kai'Liam and Brittanya watched as the two spoke animatedly to one another, smiling once in a while at their occasional playful banter. After a while, the Swordswoman looked away from them as she shifted closer to the man she had known for the past thirteen years. "So, how are you dealing?" the young man whispered lowly to her. Blinking in momentary confusion, she opened her mouth to ask when his fingers roved over her stomach. Sighing lightly, she whispered in turn, "I can't wait till I'm due." He chuckled softly as he hugged her closer to him. "Good thing you've got six more months, huh?" the brunette scoffed heatedly as she rolled her eyes, muttering lowly, "Oh yeah, good thing my ass."
Bonnie looked into her rear-facing mirror to see for oncoming traffic, catching sight of the two individuals huddled in the back. I wonder what they could be talking about. Moving into the left lane, she frowned lightly as she remembered something from that morning. "What's up, Bon-Bon?" she gasped sharply at the sudden inquiry as her heart rammed against her ribcage. Turning to the person responsible, she narrowed her eyes in a withering glare. "Oh nothing, Dean." She ground out, gripping the wheel tightly as she focused on slowing her racing heart. Seeing the remorseful expression cloud over his features, she felt a pang of guilt. "Sorry Delle, it's just that I thought something was wrong." His remorse melted into a smile as he chuckled, "You know how I am: I'm always worrying about my friends, especially my best friends." The brunette had to chuckle at that, as the blond was practically notorious for his anxious ways. Smiling lightly, she turned her gaze to the road in time to make the left turn onto her street. "I'll tell you when we get inside." She conceded, turning into the driveway of her house.
Once everyone had exited the van, Bonnie locked it up and Ron led the way to the front door. The smell of cooking food greeted their senses as they crossed the threshold of the Rockwaller house. "Hõla, Mama Rocky!" the blond called as he removed his shoes and headed towards the staircase. "Hey Mom, we're home!" chorused the twins as they removed their shoes as well. "Hey girls; Baby Blond, is that you? I wasn't expecting you till later this evening." the petite brunette strolled into the room, wiping her hands on an apron tied about her waist. Seeing the youth standing before her, she smiled at her daughters before her kind brown eyes rested on Kai'Liam. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Rockwaller." He stated kindly, to which the woman waved her hand dismissively. "Kai please, Mrs. Rockwaller is for my mother-in-law; you can call me Mama Rocky like Dean does." Hugging him gently, she asked, "So, how is the family?" He snickered as he relinquished his hold on the RPN to follow her into the kitchen.
Bonnie watched the two leave and looked at her sibling inquiringly. Alright, Briz, what's going on? The girl blinked as she turned to regard the brunette in surprise. Delle, what are you talking about? Narrowing her eyes, the abovementioned crossed her arms as she leaned forward. What were you and Kai talking about on our way over here? She watched as the face of the Queen's Assassin clouded over in thought before she motioned upstairs. I'll tell you, but you gotta promise not to overreact. The elder twin scoffed lightly as she made her way up the stairs. You say that as if I do it all the time. Silence settled over the two before the younger scoffed in turn. I wouldn't have said it if it wasn't, now would I, Princess?
