"Well, you have me as a role model now," Emerson half-teased. "Besides, it's not like I know how to be a mom. We're both jumping in, but at least we have each other." She winced, both from a pain and the cheesiness of what she was saying.

Bones shook his head slightly, "It's a little different" he said and looked over at her. "You're an angel. You're first instinct is to be kind and nurturing. I'm a demon, and my first instinct is to stab whoever is annoying me" he said and sighed softly.
"Crispin, that isn't going to make you a bad father. You've never tried to stab me when I was being annoying- you sure as hell won't when you see your babies." She gently took his hand and leaned against the counter. "I know you've had other kids and the circumstances around other mothers at birth..." She recalled his story of killing the woman who had had his last twins once they had been born, and frowned slightly. "I trust it will be different. For both of us."
Bones scoffed, "And I'm really not so sure" he said and gestured to the kitchen, "Just a few months ago I destroyed this place" he said and sighed softly before gently pulling his hand away from hers. He crossed his arms over his chest, "That night I did come very close to hitting you" he said honestly. "That's kind of why I stormed out like that"
Emerson stepped back, closing her eyes. "I know you did," she whispered. "I would rather have you burn our house down than hurt one of our kids." She sighed and backed up to the counter opposite of Bones, leaning against it. "Though if it came to it I'd also rather have you hit me than burn our house down, maybe."
"Exactly, and I know that. Which is why I really don't think I'm going to be that great of a parent" Bones said honestly and sighed softly. He was really worried that he might turn out like his own father. He didn't want that, but anything was possible.
"Are you saying you don't want to be around?" Emerson questioned, furrowing her brows. "Because, considering I could have them any day, it's kind of late to back out." She didn't think he would, but she wasn't positive. Anything could happen with what was going on then.
"No I said before that I'd be here for them. I'm just explaining why I'm ore freaked then I am excited" Bones said and smiled small before turning around and stirring the food. "Wanna grab a bowl out of the cupboard, set the bar" he said, since they hardly ever ate at the table.
"Don't worry about it," Emerson replied, pecking Bones on the cheek before slipping past him to get bowls from the cupboard and spoons from the drawer. She set their usual places and grabbed a glass of water for her and a drink for Bones.
Bones nodded slightly and waited for her to finish setting everything up before pulling the pot off the burner and setting it on the bar. "It's kind of hot so be careful" he said and walked around the bar to sit in his spot. "Oh and it's Chili" he said.
"It smells good," Emerson said, serving both of their bowls before putting the lid on the pot to keep it hot. "Thanks for making dinner again." It kind of took her forever to do it.
Bones smiled "No problem" he said and watched as she started to eat before starting to eat himself. "I like cooking" he said with a smile and chuckled softly. "You kn ow about thirty years ago I was a top chef at one of my own restaurants." he said with a small laugh. "I could have sent Gordon Ramsay running in tears," he said, talking about how rude and strict he was with his co-workers.
"I bet you could even now," Emerson joked back, giving Bones a small smile before returning to her bowl. She took a few bites and swallowed before she spoke again. "It's really good," she praised, taking a sip of her water. "The flavors are amazing."
Bones chuckled softly, "Thanks, it probably should have sat for two more hours, but then again I should have also started it two hours ago" he said and looked over at her with a small smile. "Have you always just worked at your shop while living on earth?" he asked.
Emerson smiled at Bones' chuckle, listening to his question. "Well..." She said as she leaned a little back to think. "After I was out of the legion, I had a shop for a little while, but then Kylist happened." She rolled her eyes at that and absently stirred her bowl. "After I got mostly away from him I started it back up, so it's been a while on and off. Around Kylist time I worked in his business." She leaned against the counter and watched Bones. "What else have you done?"
Bones chuckled softly "Lots of stuff" he said and thought a moment, "I've been a black smith, bartender, bar owner. I was a hotel manager once, very easy prey," he explained. "I own several hotels now. I've been a chef, and a mechanic. Though again I now own several auto shops" he said and though for a few moments. "I've been a history professor at few times, again easy prey" he said with a small smile. "Oh and I've been a race car driver" he said.
Emerson laughed, arching her brows at Bones. "And what makes being a history professor gather such easy prey? 'Recent studies have shown that due to past happenings you're bound to end up in my office so I can screw with then kill you,'" she imitated in the dramatically deep British voice again. "'Don't worry... In the past it's only hurt... A lot..." She erupted in giggles at the idea of Bones even trying to seduce her in such a way, holding a hand over her belly as her face reddened a bit.
"Again I don't have a British accent" Bones said and scoffed softly. "And no, there's the tiny fact that I am extremely hot and I look even better in a suite" he said. "A lot of the girls would flirt with me on a regular basis. So yeah I would eventually screw them and then kill them. But you know that they did pass the class" he said jokingly.
Emerson made a fake gagging motion and rolled her eyes into the back of her head. "Ew." She laughed and returned to her bowl, finishing off and swallowing before adding, "I bet you slicked back your hair and everything."
Bones nodded slightly, "Yeah sometimes I did" he said and shrugged slightly. "Can I ask why you keep giving me an English accent when you try and impersonate me?" he asked and eyed her for a moment.
"Um.." Emerson considered it, pushing aside her bowl and sipping her water. "Probably because I imagine the younger you to have one. It seems like it would fit you. I don't know." She knew her accent had only barely faded since they had met, but that was because she purposefully kept it. She liked being an oddity.
Bones shook his head slightly, "No sorry, I've never had a real British accent. I purposely talked with one for a few years when I lived in the UK but other then that nope" he said and chuckled softly.
Emerson sighed dramatically, although she cracked a grin. "Too bad... It would totally increase your hotness by at least fifteen to twenty percent, one hundred being an infinite number," she added the last part, as he usually liked to argue that she had decided he was the hottest. She slid off her seat and took her bowl to the sink, glancing back at Bones. "Are you done or do you want more?"
Bones chuckled softly, "Yeah right" he said and looked over at her. He watched as she putt her dishes away before deciding to answer her with an British accent, "I'm done" he said with a smile and slide his empty dish across the counter. "Have fun with the dishes. I'll be outside" he said, still using the accent.
Emerson smiled, looking back at him with a fake pout. "Not fair," she groaned. Still, she quickly finished washing and put the dishes into the drainer, putting the leftover chili into the fridge before grabbing a sweater and waddle-walking outside to find Bones.
Bones took a long drag of his cigarette as he watched Emerson come outside. "Hey" he said and smiled small before leaning against the railing on the porch. "What's up?" he asked and looked back out at the land. "Do you need any help around the house before I go?" he asked.
Emerson thought about it as she slowly sat down onto the porch swing. "No... I cleaned up this morning." She smiled and eyes Bones. "All that's left is the waiting," she murmured, watching him smoke and lightly pushing back and forth.
"Yay, the fun" Bones said joking and looked over at her with a smile. "How much longer do you think it will be?" he asked, though he knew she really wouldn't know exactly. He just figured she might be able to guess on that or something.
((What did you say the longest-running RP you had counted at?))
Hmm..." Emerson pretended to contemplate, even patting her belly and staring at it. "I'm guessing like around a week? The other night I thought I was having contractions but it passed... That's probably a sign that we're close." Emerson really didn't know, though, and she rubbed her stomach.
((This seems weird... I don't know :P It feels too comfortable even though I know they're about to be attacked.))

((This seems weird... I don't know :P It feels too comfortable even though I know they're about to be attacked.))
((About six thousand. We had to start like three times, I mean we started where we left off but he had to move it to a different thread. Though each time the old thread had about the number we have now.))"Well that's good" Bones said and nodded slightly, "I'm sure you're getting sick of being pregnant by now" he said and looked over her for a moment. "I hear the last trimester is supposed to be very uncomfortable" he said.
((Do you want something to happen before he leaves? Like between him and her?))
((Ooh... I know it seems like we're kind of drawing to a close (I've literally never had a completed RP), but I bet if we kept adding to the plot we could beat it :D))
Emerson groaned, nodding. "Like I said earlier, I feel like a beached whale. And I know I look like one too." She sighed and leaned back to close her eyes in the swing. "Honestly... I'm excited to get the pregnancy over with, and I'm happy to have kids, but... I wish things were the way they were a few months ago. Before I was pregnant and the fight and... It's all just a lot."
((Yeah, but not something too big to where they would be seriously pissed at each other. What if she brings up something about him killing the girl who had his other twins?))

((Yeah, but not something too big to where they would be seriously pissed at each other. What if she brings up something about him killing the girl who had his other twins?))
((Yeah, that would be awesome.))Bones nodded slightly "Yeah I agree" he said and sighed softly. He still really didn't trust he completely, he knew he was being a wang about it but he didn't care. She was literally one of two people he's ever trusted completely in his entire life so it was heart breaking when she broke that trust. "But having the babies will be nice" he said and nodded again.
((Yeah, sounds good.))
Emerson rested for a moment, itching at a thought for the time before sitting back up and biting hard on her lip. She didn't want the answer but it was bugging at her. "Crispin... Am I annoying you?" she asked quietly, knowing he would still hear. Maybe it was the fact that he was smoking again and she knew he did that when he was stressed, or that it had been bothering her since the beginning of the pregnancy.
Bones shook his head slightly, "No why" he asked and looked over at her for a moment. "I'm smoking because I'm stressed but it has nothing to do with you" he promised. "Like I said before I'm kind of freaked about becoming a dad" he said and shrugged slightly.
Emerson chewed on her lip again before sighing. "I just... It's nothing. Just my hormones talking or something," she wrote off quickly, not wanting to make a big deal about it even though she hated blaming anything on hormones. "Forget I asked."
Bones watched her for a moment and shook his head slightly, "Okay come on now I know that's not true" he said and put out his cigarette before walking over to her. "What's wrong?" he asked and sat down next to her on the bench.
"It's really not important..." Emerson swallowed and looked down. "I just know you're stressed and I need to know if I'm causing any of it. I don't want to make you angry like..." She paused. "I don't want to end up like the woman you killed after she had the twins you sent to Jacqueline," she whispered, frowning. She didn't bother to look up at Bones because she knew that telling him the truth would honestly piss him off.
Bones closed his eyes and stood up, walking away from her. "If you honestly thinking I would ever do that too you I really don't see why I'm even here" he said and finally looked at her again. "What's the point of even being around if you think I'm just going to kill you" he snapped. "God Emerson. I didn't love that women, didn't even know she was pregnant until I met on the street over nine months later. She told me about it. I knew my sister wanted kids so I took the opportunity in front of me. That's it" he yelled and glared at her for a moment before looking away again. "You'e always known what I was, I've never tried to hide it from you"
"Don't you understand that I'm scared?" Emerson pushed to stand, but didn't walk towards Bones. "Don't you see that I'm so confused? What am I supposed to think? It's been six months and you still haven't moved back. Just because it isn't the same exact situation doesn't mean it doesn't look like it could turn out that way." Emerson shuddered and held a hand over her stomach, biting the inside of her cheek hard again. "I have the right to ask. Don't be pissed because I want to know."
"Don't be pissed because the women I love thinks I'm going to kill her. Yeah okay. I'll go right ahead and put that on my to do list" Bones snapped and looked back over at her. "I don't know how this relationship is ever going to work" he said after a moment. "You've clearly never trusted me, and after what happened I don't really trust you either"
"I am trying to make it work." Emerson turned to look out over the porch but still spoke to Crispin. "Try waking up every night in excruciating pain and wondering why one mistake kept the other half of this-" she pointed at her stomach, "Isn't there to hold me." Her chin quivered and she closed her eyes. "I'm trying to trust you, Crispin, but after waiting for so long, I wonder what's holding you back."
"How about the fact that you are literally the second person I have ever trusted completely in my entire life" Bones said and looked over at her. "I am almost two thousand years old Emerson and I've only ever been in love with two people, and have only ever trusted those two" he said and sighed softly. "When I found out you were sneaking around with another guy that trust was broken. How am I supposed to know if I can trust you now. I'm not a trusting person Emerson, "
"Stop calling it sneaking around!" Emerson snapped. "I was trying to help someone, and yes, I disobeyed you, and I said I'm sorry more times than I can count. I don't know what more you want, Bones. If you can't let go of something so small, then how am I supposed to trust you?" Emerson clenched and released her fists. "I have no idea how I'm 'playing the victim' to you, unless you think I'm lying about the pain. If you think I'm getting too much 'victim time' and would like to complain a little, obviously you can't see that you already are." She swallowed hard and walked past Bones, slamming the door to the house behind her.
"Fuck you" Bones yelled angrily and hissed, "And you know it has nothing to do with you disobeying me you stupid bitch" he growled before walking away from the house and over to his truck. He climbed in and slammed the door shut before starting the engine.
Emerson froze in the hallway, her chest constricting at Bones' words. She listened to him storm away, even hearing his truck start. She stayed in the hallway for so long that it became dark until she moved again. She felt like she needed to do something before going to bed so she finished putting the dishes away, all the while breathing funnily and replaying Bones' words over and over in her head. She slammed the cupboard doors shut and slowly made her way upstairs, hot tears on her face. She climbed into the guest room's bed and toss Bones' shirt aside, hissing in anger.
Bones speed all the way back to his house and slammed all the doors he went through on his way inside. "Fucking A" he hissed before angrily walking into the kitchen and feeding Copper. Once he was done he ran upstairs and hoped in the shower, wanting to wash away any smell of Emerson he might have on him. He was just too pissed to have any remembrance of her at the moment.
Emerson felt like screaming for hours but held her temper. She didn't realize as she fell asleep, but she must have, because only a couple hours later she awoke to what she thought was a footstep. After so long of being alone, she was attune to the house being dead quiet in her sleep. She slowly sat up in bed, backing up to the headboard and pulling her blanket up with her. She frowned, actually holding her breath to listen again.
Several hours later Bones was still fuming, and just pacing around his room. He was trying to think of how the conversation could have gone differently, and really wished that she hadn't just walked away. He fucking hated it when she did that, he's only ever done that when he was seriously afraid that he was going to hurt her. "God dammit" he hissed and walked over to his bed. "Know what I don't care. Just don't care" he said and flopped down on his bed. "I'm done."Don't care about what, Son?"
Emerson was about to slide back into her bed when she heard more footsteps and the floors creaking. A squeak escaped her lips and she slipped off of the bed, reaching for the dagger she kept on the knight stand. She wondered if it was just Bones but he wouldn't have been sneaking around. She took the few steps to the door and stepped out into the hallway, only to have her hand immediately hit. She dropped the dagger and turned, her assailant backing her up into the hallway lit dim by a window from her room. "What's that for? Shiny." Emerson narrowed her eyes in recognition of the voice.
Bones shot out of the bed and growled, "What the hell are you doing here?" he hissed, not really having a weapon at the ready. He left all that stuff at Emerson's. "How'd you find me?" he asked."That really doesn't matter how I got here son" Marcus said and walked farther into the room twirl around a dagger in his hand. "Been watching you fro a few days now, guess you got the angel pregnant" he said and chuckled softly. "But you're also not really together anymore" he said with a smirk.
((Don't know if that's his dad's name, but I feel like it is.))
