Ferno grinned. "Awesome." She gave one final push to Quisha, earning a 'hey! brat!' and return shove, and they proceeded to shove all the way to the car, grabbing hand fulls of bags, boxes, and mis-shappen things. All in all, there were a good 20 gifts in their arms. Annie closed her eyes as the presents came through, causing Akito to whine and squirm in Hanna's arms. "Naa~ni~!" He whined until Annie looked at him and winked, making him relax and giggle. "Well while everyone gets situated in here, Annie, take Akito and Ron outside to wait for Kaleb. he should be pulling up soon he just stopped at WalMart for a few things for Akito." Annie let out a thankful breath and took Akito's hand when he was put down, pulling Ron out of the door.
Ferno bounced on he balls of her toes as Quisha sat down and Hanna came to stand next to Anna. The two latter girls had been to a few baby showers and knew it was best to talk to people during break-the-ice games, but they still attempted to interact with Annie's new friends (since Ferno had insisted that she was absolutely not their family yet. "She may be pregnant but she's not married yet.")

Ron followed Annie outside, glad to be able to have a little alone time with her before he had to leave. He sat on the porch, keeping a hold on Annie's hand. "Don't have too much fun without me." He teased with a small smile. He tugged her down gently to sit next to him, fully aware of the 5-year-old with them. "With all the presents, it looks like you might have loads of fun." He pressed a kiss to her cheek lightly, smiling again.

Annie groaned, leaning her head on his shoulder as Akito mimicked her on the other side, making himself look at anything else. He was a smart kid when it came to privacy, and he was all of the family's favorite nephew for that reason (of course, until Annie & Polaris 'popped' he was their only nephew). Annie took the time to steal a kiss, wrapping her arm around his waist. "I wish you wouldn't go." She whispered with a sigh. "I love your family, your sisters are so sweet. But I'm a bit worried about...well you know how Qui's been lately." She mumbled.

Ron carefully wrapped his arm around her, kissing her back. He moved his hand to her belly, feeling for a kick. "I know. You know I wouldn't leave if I had a choice." He moved his lips to her forehead, keeping them there a bit. "I know. I wish it could be different. But I'll have my cell phone on me at all times if you need anything." He grinned, moving his lips to her cheek. "Or if you just want to talk."

Annie giggled, snuggling closer to him. "They might take my phone away if I'm calling just to talk." She kissed his cheek, sighing. "But don't be surprised if you get a call. You know how clumsy I am." She winked, knowing he hated her two left feet with the baby. "Kidding. Hanna watches me like a hawk." A silver car pulled around towards the house and Akito jumped up and down as high as he could, waving his arms. "K! K!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, making Annie roll her yes. She felt bad, but he mood could switch so easily lately. "Ugh. Guess you have to go." She pouted, hugging him and standing up. An older blonde male stepped out of the car, picking up Akito who ran to him. "Hey there, favorite nephew." He nodded to Ron, giving Annie a light kiss on the forehead, where Ron's lips just were and she suppressed a giggle. "Have fun. Don't die. You'll be fun." He pat her shoulder, smiling briefly before he looked at Ron. "You tagging along?"

"You could always sneak a text." He pecked her nose playfully. His look turned serious a bit, and he placed his forehead against hers. "Be careful. Please." He knew how clumsy she could be, and he worried about her constantly. He pulled away as the car pulled up and Akito began screaming. He stood when Annie did, hugging her back. "I'll be back soon love. Don't worry." He kissed her lightly, smiling a bit. "I love you." He turned to the male questioning him, nodded. "Yeah, I am. The girls are kicking me out."

Annie shrugged, sighing softly and giggling again when he kissed her nose. "I will. I promise." She kissed his neck softly, smiling. "I'll be waiting for you to get home. I love you too." She smiled sheepishly at Kaleb when he nodded at Ron. "Be nice Kaleb. He's only familiar with Romatan, who's a lot more sweet than you." She gave a sweet grin to her older cousin who was basically 'Alpha Male', so to speak, of the Teys & Zs. Romatan was basically head male for the Zs and he loved Annie so he had no problem with Ron when they met. He'd do whatever Annie asked him to, and that was accept him into the family, so Ron was already his mini-me so he said. Kaleb just chuckled, looking back at Ron. "Well then, I suppose we should go." He turned back to the car with Akito bouncing next to him, buckling himself in the backseat and waving to Annie. "Don't let him get to you, he's a bit gruff. He thinks he's everyone's father." She rolled her eyes, but smiled. "Have fun." She winked, kissing him swiftly.

"I'll try not too." Ron promised. Ron wasn't one for conflict, so he was sure there wouldn't be any problems. Well, he hoped so anyway. "You too sweetheart." He kissed her back one last time before pulling away and climbing into the car next to Kaleb. "Well, this should be interesting." He muttered to no-one in particular.

Akito was clapping in the back seat and Kaleb pulled off. "Shouldn't be too long to the zoo, so you don't have to endure my speech for long." Kaleb said, quite serious now as he glanced to the boy sitting next to him. "I can't say I have complete reign over Anne, that's for Caris and Romatan to decide, so I can't sit here and lecture you like her father. But I can lecture you like her suprioior." He looked back at the road, turning as Akito started singing some kiddie song in Japanese. "What do you plan to do about the baby? Job wise anyways, as Anne will be in no condition to work for a good year. And I'm sure you won' be living in your basement when the baby is born." Kaleb shot a disapproving look quickly over to him, then back to another turn. "Even Romatan wouldn't be pleased to hear that. So if you'd like me to break it down simply for you, what do you have planned out for the child? I heard it's a boy, so you must have some thoughts."

Ron had to stop himself from wincing, he knew this was coming sooner or later. He just hoped it were later rather than sooner. He had an answer, he just knew Caleb wouldn't be too happy about it. "Well," He started cautiously. "I have been applying for part-time jobs, I actually have an interview coming up soon. I wasn't going to have Annie work at all if possible. I want nothing more than to take care of her. But...I'm only 16, I can't exactly get my own apartment. We wont stay in the basement though. A lot of my siblings have moved out, so I can move into one of the rooms upstairs. Sure its not much, but until I turn 18 I can't really do much. As far as raising him, I'm going to do my very best. I never grew up with a father, and I know that's no excuse but I do plan on trying my hardest to raise him right."

Kaleb nodded shortly, listening to him before answering. "Well as long as Anne is happy and the kid is taken care of, I can trust your judgement until otherwise. Romatan told me that you're a good kid, and even though Romatan himself can be a bit irresponsible-" -Kaleb rolled his eyes to put emphasis on how much trust he actually put into Romi's judgement of character- "I haven't seen any reason to think you've been taking advantage Anne in any way, and she seems quite contempt." He pulled around another corner with the zoo in sight. "And we all give you our thanks for helping her come out of her shell, I was surprised when she actually spoke to me." He smirked as he pulled into the parking lot, pulling out a bouncing Akito from the booster seat he was strapped to and waiting for Ron.

"Of course. I want nothing more than to make Annie happy. She knows I'll do everything I possibly can for her." Ron answered truthfully. He smiled a bit at Kaleb's final words, he very well remembered Annie's attitude towards him when they'd first met. Now, they were having a baby. It was unbelievable. "I'm glad." He murmured simply, climbing out the car when they finally parked. "A lot of it was my sisters too. They were very accepting of Annie."

Kaleb nodded once, a sign that said he believed him but he was one of those 'see-it-to-believe-it' people. Kaleb nodded again as he took Akito's hand and walked towards the zoo. "That's good. You'd have to talk to Romatan or Hanatu - I'm assuming you're at least acquainted with her siblings- to know her life story, but she was rather shy in class, and she has a habit of thinking she does everything the wrong way. She apologizes a lot, when she speaks at all." Kaleb chuckled and Akito started bouncing as he saw the animals come into view. "Hana's worried sometimes that your child will look like Akito. Not worry so much as intense curiosity. Don't tell Annie but the family has been placing bets on if your kid has blonde or red hair, freckles or not, blue eyes or green or brown or whichever they can think of. someone went as far as the bet for brown hair -leave it to Diana for the crazy assumption." It was clear that Kaleb was trying very hard to be conversational and his good mood was easy because of Akito. "Everyone in the family tends to ramble about the baby, Annie will be the first to have one in our family." He glanced at Akito then at Ron. "Adopted from Japan at birth." He whispered since Akito wasn't supposed to know.

Ron nodded, "Yeah, I've had quite the experience with that." Ron remembered all too well Annie's breakdown with him, over something she'd thought she did wrong. He felt a tiny smile spread on his lips at Kaleb's next words, and small chuckle slipped out. "I think my family is the same way. Especially my sister Ichigo. They don't really say anything while around Annie but they're all curious to know what he'll look like as well." Ron stuck his hands in his pockets, glancing at the animals near them. "I don't mind what he looks like. I'm pretty sure Annie would rather he didn't look like her, but I think he'll be perfect no matter what." Personally he would love it if the baby had freckles like Annie, even though he knew for sure Annie didn't want that at all. At Kaleb's next sentence, Ron simply offered a small nod. He wouldn't mention the fact that he was nowhere near the first one in his family to have a baby.

Kaleb nodded shortly, picking Akito up to put him on his shoulders as the small child leaned for the monkey cages. "Annie wasn't very self confident as a child, she was adopted by Caris' family when she was 8 and home-school because she lacked the courage to see other kids. Her previous siblings were never very...kind." Kaleb thought over what he said carefully, not sure if Annie and Ron had talked about their families. Annie didn't exactly like talking about her biological brothers; she'd rather forget them.
