Dant shook his head, smiling slightly. "I wasn't optimistic enough to assume you'd want to spend more time with me than this. So whatever you want to do is fine. Unless what you want to do is go home. Then it's not fine but I'll deal with it."

She threw one of the pillows at him and laughed. "You're crazy; I still want to hang out but if you're kicking me out then I have no choice do I?" Aya grinned at him and shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere Dan..." She leaned against the other end of the couch and watched him lazily, enjoying how they could spend time together in silence and not feel awkward about it. "Tell me a secret."

Dan blocked the pillow, and it glanced off his shoulder. "Oi! What was that for?" Laughing he tossed the pillow back at her, then relaxed against the couch once more. Rubbing his chin, he grinned at her. "A secret huh? Ok well, you know all that baby stuff I bought the other day? Apparantly, it's not useless. I'm gonna be an uncle in about five months. Only it's not a secret anymore, so I guess that doesn't count."
Thinking hard, he sighed. "I'm afraid of failing."

Aya laughed as she caught the pillow and hugged it briefly. "Oh? Is it Brody's?" For some reason, she thought of him first; Jade was too responsible to get knocked up and she didn't really know Miki but she seemed to childish for that. But she wasn't sure. "Should I offer congratulations?" She wasn't really sure what Dan felt about it either; was he mad or was he happy?
She tilted her head and watched him curiously. "Failing at what?"

He nodded at her question, and smiled. "Yeah it's Brody's. Some girl he's not even with. I told him he should try to make it work with her, but he wants to be with someone else." Frowning slightly, he sighed. "I guess I'm just old fashioned but I think if you're going to make that commitment you should be ready for the consequences."
Shaking his head, he closed his eyes. "Just failing in general. I guess that's why I'm not doing anything right now. Cause if I try, I know that sometime I'm gonna mess up."

Aya frowned a bit, she couldn't really follow what he was saying. Brody knocked up a girl he didn't even like and now he wanted to be with someone else? "That sounds kinda mean of him doesn't it? I mean I obviously don't know the whole story but he should take responsibility for the girl and the kid right?" She smiled a bit and prodded him with her foot. "Your old-fashionedness, if that's even a word, is cute."
She watched him curiously, glad that it seemed like he could relax around her. "Sad way to live life you know? Just being afraid of something that you haven't tried and making it your reason to stay away from grabbing what life has to offer." Aya shook her head and leaned back. "I should know; I promised myself that if I got better I wouldn't waste my second chance and I'd do as much as I could with my life."

Danian rolled his eyes and sighed. "That's just Brody. He doesn't think things through very well. He goes with his first instinct which isn't always the best. Plus, he said that it wasn't fair to Kylie cause he didn't know Liesl was pregnant when he started chasing after her."
Grabbing her foot as she prodded him, he rubbed the sole thoughtfully. "I guess maybe I need a couple lessons in learning how to be positive or something. I just don't know how to stop my brain telling me it'll all fall in a heap." Smiling wryly, he tickled her foot lightly.

She bit her lip as she squirmed, trying to free her foot from his grasp. "And you didn't help him out? I mean, not yell at him help him out but you know... Be like a big brother to him and stuff..." Aya paused and giggled softly; she couldn't help it... She was just as ticklish as Alex. "I guess it kinda makes sense how it's not fair to Kylie, but it's not like Liesl asked to get knocked up either you know? I don't think it's fair to any of them..."
She couldn't contain it anymore, she squealed and laughed at the same time, still squirming against his grasp. "D-dan, dooon't!", she gasped as she laughed, her eyes shut tight as she tried to control herself but still couldn't.

Danian laughed loudly and let her foot go. "No I guess I kind of blew up at him. I don't think he's used to living like this, he spent a lot of time at his little clubhouse back in MABTown from what Mikaela tells me. This Liesl girl, this is the first I've ever heard of her. But Kylie, she's been around for forever. Here's the kicker, she's Miki's best friend and Miki still doesn't know that Brody's gonna be a dad. Brody told Kylie but swore her to secrecy."
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I guess I should have been more supportive, but I just couldn't help it. He has Dad written all over him. And he's taking almost as little responsibility for his actions as Dad did.."

She pouted at him as she sat on her feet, preferring them to go numb than for him to tickle them for her. The pout slowly faded and she smiled, thinking the annoyance that flitted through his features was a sign of just how mature he was. Aya moved towards him, sitting on his lap. "Just tell me if I'm too heavy okay?" She gave him a hug. "Well I don't think Miki would take it very well that Brody's dating her best friend, and I'm pretty sure she'd freak out if she found out Brody's going to be a dad so I think it was smart of them to keep it a secret."
"It's alright you know? I would have probably done the same thing you did, or probably even worse and I would have chased him around with a baseball bat or something." Aya smiled and lightly pinched his cheek. "But you have to remember that he's your brother, Dan... And he doesn't have anyone as a support system. He may not say it, he may not even admit it, but you're the only one he's got now."

Danian rolled his eyes again and shrugged. "I'm not sure you're even sitting on me... are you? I mean, my legs haven't registered your weight yet." Grinning, he ran his fingers slowly through her hair.
"I guess you're right. But I think the words "I don't need this crap"sort of signify that he's done talking to me about it. And Jade's around. She's at school a lot but she's still there for Brody. She was sort of excited about it I think...At least, you know, she didn't yell at him like I did, and she actually smiled. With the added bonus of Brody not yelling at her either."

Aya scoffed and lightly hit his shoulder. "Okay so I lost a lot of weight when I was sick, shut up!", she said with a tiny laugh. She lay her head on his shoulder as she spoke softly by his ear, her words becoming slightly mumbled because of her position. "I guess I'm glad that Jade is around because she's a girl and not only that but she's a responsible one. I mean, can you imagine if you had to make Miki change the diapers?" She giggled softly at the thought. "I guess all the baby stuff we bought to piss off Jade actually helped in the long-run huh?" Aya moved her hand lazily so that her fingers were playing with the strands of hair on his neck. "I wonder what Brody's gonna do..."

Danian felt the goosbumps on the back of his neck when she plaed with his hair and shivered slightly, leaning his head against hers. "Yeah right. Jade wouldn't change a nappy to save her life. Especially if the kid isn't hers. Miki's in the same mould so I guess Brody's gonna be doing it all by himself."
He closed his eyes briefly and shrugged. "He asked us if we'd be ok with Liesl moving in. Converting the basement into two bedrooms instead of one. I said I'd think about it, I mean it is a big thing you know? But he hasn't asked again so maybe he's thought of something else."

Aya giggled softly and closed her eyes. "So where are you in this equation exactly? I didn't hear a 'Danian wouldn't change a diaper to save his life' in that sentence so are you going to help your little brother out?" She moved ever so slightly so she could lightly trace kisses along his jaw, curious to his reaction. "So... Have you thought about it? I mean what if the guy actually thought 'I'd think about it' would mean 'Yes you can' and that was his idea." She found his neck and kissed him there, grinning as she thought about other things that could distract him. Aya wasn't really sure why she was doing what she was doing but she wanted to distract him for some reason.

Danian closed his eyes as she kissed him, trying to concentrate on her question. "Um...I just..don't know." Opening his eyes, he smiled down at her. "What did you ask me? Cause I'm not sure that's the appropriate response."
Hugging her closer he shifted his body slightly, so he was all but lying flat on the couch. "No, with our parents, usually "I'll think about it" means, I'm waiting til you forget about it, and if you ask again I'll make up a good reason to say no." Laughing softly he resumed playing with her hair. "You know, we're talking a lot about me right now. I haven't heard much about you since at Palmers.."
