Nina POV

I was pretty nervous about heading back to my house. I'd been to see my grampa Charlie and sue. Grampa was getting so old and frail now, I hoped we wouldn't loose him too soon like my grampa billy. Anyways while I was there I got a phone call from my college, they told me I'd been accepted to start working part time in the local hospital in new haven. Of course I'd still be doing my course at the same time but this was getting me somewhere, I'd be having an actual experience. I told my grampa Charlie and sue about the phone call and they were both trilled for me, I expressed my concerns though, mom had always been so possessive and protective of me, she knew I was going to carry on going to college however even though annalee had come home, but now I'd been offered a placement, in the future that could turn into something more and how would she react if I moved there permanently? The walk from my house to my grampa Charlie's wasn't very far, I knew a short cut through the woods, anyone else could run there and back in under five minutes but I guess I could enjoy the scenery more than they could. It only took about fifteen minutes to get back. I let myself in and It was oddly quiet, but I could hear the TV on in the living room.

"Oh...hi" it was just Eliza. Sometimes I forgot she lived here now.

"Hey" she smiled, she really was a sweet girl. I just didn't know her all that well.

"Where is everyone?"

"Well jetts on patrol, annalees out with embry somewhere and your mom and dad are at a bank meeting in Seattle" I frowned.

"Bank meeting?" She nodded.

"That's where your mom said they were going. Was about two hours ago now" I nodded slowly. Why would they need to go to a bank meeting?

"Oh" I frowned, I'd rather of got this off my chest now.

"What's wrong?" She switched the TV off and patted the seat next to her.

"Oh... Okay" I went and sat down next to her.

"It's just, I've been offered a placement to work in a hospital in new haven, as well as doing my course at college" she smiled.

"Well that's great"

"Not exactly" I mumbled.

"Why?"

"Well I'm sure you've noticed I'm the freak of the family... Being the only human" she smirked and waved her hand.

"Not the only human anymore kid" I laughed.

"True... But you won't be human forever" she smiled softly.

"Anyways... Moms always been way over protective with me, because technically I'm the only one who could die from sometime. I don't age, therefore I won't die, but if I got hit by a bus or sometime I would die. Jett or annalee on the other hand would Proberly just have a bad head and be a bit sore for a few days" she nodded.

"Okay so what's that's got to do with a job in new haven?"

"I was getting to that" I smiled.

"Oh... Okay go on" I nodded.

"Well, mom never wanted to let me go, it took her a lot to let me go to school and college. She eased off more with college because she knew I really wanted it and annalee was only around an hour away so I could get to her if needed. Mom knows I'm going back to college and she's ok with it, even though annalee isn't but I'm not how she would react if I needed up moving there... Indefinitely" it was like a light bulb came on in her head once I'd finished. She sighed.

"Well I'm not your mother, so I can't speak for her but I think she would be proud of you to go after what you want. Millions of humans across the world do reckless things everyday and they come out without barely a scratch, and you maybe human but I know your tuffer than the average human, for example your skin is stronger than mine" I sighed.

"That means nothing to my mom"

"I think you should just talk to her, let her know everything and tell her how much you want this. She's your mother, she'll listen to you. If your passionate enough about this she'll let you go" I nodded

"I am"

"Well there you go, just talk to her. I'm sure you'll be saving lives in no time" I giggled and smiled.

"Thank you... I know we don't really know each other to well, but your really sweet. I'm glad my brother has you" she smiled at me.

"Well I'm glad I have your brother. He makes me happier than I've ever been" I could help but smile and then hug her. She deserved to be happy. I wasn't sure exactly what had gone down with her and her dad, I knew my parents knew and jett and I'm guessing annalees got a good idea but it wasn't my place to pry. But she was happy now with us and jett so that's all that mattered. When my mom and dad came home hours later they were both smiling like idiots, oh god I hope she's not pregnant, that would just be odd now. She'd be having grand kids from jett and Eliza any day now. They'd all be growing up the same age, calling each other aunt/uncle... Wow.

"Hey mom, why are you so happy?" I asked sitting down on the stool in the kitchen. She was preparing dinner.

"Oh everyone will find out soon" I groaned

"Your not pregnant are you?" She chocked on her own spit when I said that.

"No nina! I'm not pregnant" I heard my dad clear his throat in the living room and I chuckled.

"Okay then... Well I kinda wanted to tell you something" she turned around to face me.

"Your not pregnant are you?" Now it was both my turn and my dads turn to chock on our spit.

"No mom! Geez" she laughed.

"Okay sorry... Go on"

"Well I've been offered a job to work in a hospital in new haven whilst doing my course" she smiled.

"That's fantastic honey. Well done" I smiled.

"Well there's more... If this job goes well, there's a pretty good chance it could go into more a permanent thing" she stopped what she was doing and looked up at me.

"I'm not saying that yet of course I'm not. I'm just saying eventually" she took a deep breath and nodded.

"Well... When the time comes I'll be very proud of your honey" I couldn't speak I swear she just said she'd be proud of me.

"So... I mean you'd be ok if I had to move there?" Mom sighed.

"Nina, this is your life. You need to live it how you want too, sure I'd love to keep you hear with me forever and never let you out the door but I can't do that. You have ambitions and your going to go far, I know it. And if your career is going to get it's kick start in new haven then I'll just have to deal with that. We have forever neens, you'll be home near me eventually" I smiled and rushed around the counter to hug her.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you" she laughed and kissed my hair.

"Of course sweetheart. I love you and I want you to succeed in life" I smiled.

"I love you too moma" she squeezed me to her and then released me.

"Go and check on your father for me. Make sure he hasn't had a heart attack from all that mention of pregnancy" I giggled and ran to see my daddy. He was smiling, obviously hearing the conversation between me and mom.
