Moira's smirk disappears as well, replaced by a rather awkward embarrassment.

Moira: You two kept it so quiet... that's all I meant by it.... 'Ell, I didn't know about it until Christian called mey.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:36 pm

Raquel half grumbles
Raquel:"...Right..."

Pockets Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:41 pm

Moira bites her lip for a moment, and starts backing off.

Moira: 'Ey... I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean it loik you were doin' anythin' bad... alroit?

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:47 pm

Raquel:"No its...its fine I understand.."

Pockets Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:51 pm

Moira: Jus'... forget I asked....

Open mouth... insert foot... choke on it....

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:55 pm

Raquel:"It's fine..."
her words and tone of voice don't convey the same message

Pockets Fri Mar 25, 2011 10:06 pm

Moira: You know... I think I'll jus' wait outside....

Moira walks out of the room.

Moira: Fok... why the 'ell did I say "sneakin'".... Stupid....

She leans against the wall, arms crossed, staring at the floor.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 25, 2011 11:58 pm

A moment later Raquel walks out

Raquel:"...Hey..."

Pockets Sat Mar 26, 2011 7:02 am

Moira glances up.

Moira: 'Ey.... Wot are you doin' out 'ere? Go be with your fiance.

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 26, 2011 12:50 pm

Raquel:"No, I need to apologize about back there. I know you didn't mean anything. It's just...you sort of said the thing I fear everybody is going to think about me and Shawn. That us falling in love must have some sort of forbiddingness to it or something. Hell, call me paranoid if you want but it feels like Shawn's sons have already judged me...mostly in part to their mothers reaction..."

Pockets Sat Mar 26, 2011 4:49 pm

Moira shakes her head.

Moira: No, it was dumb of mey to say. I was tryin' to be funny with it, an' it clearly didn't work. I apologize for that.

She shrugs.

Moira: I 'eard it kinda indirectly... I guess my niece 'as a thing for Gabriel. I ain't 'eard anythin' bad about you from that end... but it did go through two people before it got to mey, so I can't say for sure.

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 26, 2011 7:37 pm

Raquel:"Well...Gabriel wasn't exactly warm towards me...Not that I expected him to be...But...I know I'm looked at in a certain light. I'm aware of my past. I just hope it doesn't cause judgement to be cast on Shawn and me...and especially not our child. I...I don't want them to be thought of as the child of a loose woman or...you know..."

Pockets Sat Mar 26, 2011 7:43 pm

Moira: Well... it ain't loik the father of the child is in question....

She looks at Raquel warily, waiting to see if the pregnancy hormones would go off again.

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 26, 2011 11:47 pm

Raquel looks at Moira until she can tell Moira is starting to become even more uncomfortable then she might already be

Raquel:"No...it is not."

Pockets Sat Mar 26, 2011 11:55 pm

Moira catches the tone in Raquel's voice, but this time stands her ground.

Moira: An' since when do you care wot people other than Shawn think?

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:01 am

Raquel:"When Shawn ended up in THAT damned hospital bed fighting for his life because of some psycho pumping him full of heroin for one. What if I was the only one who gave a damn about him? He...he would be dead then. When it was just me then I wouldn't have cared. But...this isn't about me."

she looks towards the room, then looks down at her tummy

Raquel:"It's about so much more.

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:09 am

Moira: If certain people blamed the kids for wot the parents did, then Alexis wouldn't be anywhere near Alex. An' even besides that, you ain't alone in this. You've got family.

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:15 am

Raquel:"I know...I'm sorry Moira. It's been a lot happening over such a short period of time. I'm a little frazzled..."

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:21 am

Moira: Seems I've been missin' out on the fun....

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:26 am

Raquel:"What you mean?"

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:33 am

Moira smirks.

Moira: Jus' I ain't knee deep in the shite this time. It's almost relaxin'.

She chuckles, then becomes serious.

Moira: They were sayin' Shawn's gonna be alroit, roit? So stop worryin', it ain't good for the baby. If people are gonna be stubborn about acceptin' you it's on them. You jus' need to take care of yourself, alroit?

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:39 am

Raquel nods

Raquel:"I know...So whats been going on with you?"

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:42 am

Moira: A lot less than wot's been goin' on with everyone else seems loik. I got a surprise, but I want it to wait until everythin's settled down, whenever the 'ell that's gonna 'appen.

She chuckles again, ironically.

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:45 am

Raquel glances at Moira's hand

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:54 am

Moira follows Raquel's gaze, and smiles at the ring on it.

Moira: You're the first one to notice....

She looks back up at Raquel.

Moira: I didn't want to get in the way of Alexis' day, so I figured I'd keep it quiet for now.

She frowns.

Moira: I've moved on... I dunno why Naomi bothers mey so much. Maybe it's cause she's got wotever it is Ashley needs... an' I didn't....
