Liesl turned into him and continued to cry. "I won't be able to see my feet in a few months and I'm going to be huge. You suck you really do and as much as I've started to live you I hate you just as much for doing this to me." She clung to him, though she felt like hitting him instead. "I'm going to love this baby, but right now I seriously wish it weren't in existence it's riding my nerves and Im already over this fuckjng roller coaster." One of the ladies on the opposite side of the waiting room, with a small impressionable child cleared her throat. "Fuck off lady." She spat. "It's not fair!" She continued, removing herself from him to finish the paper work. She got up and passed it off then returned to her seat, wondering what exactly future appointments would look like. He'll probably stop coming because you're going to scare him off with your craziness and you'll be a fat cow in here alone wishing you could see your feet.

Brody wrapped his arms around her, wondering if he was ever going to be able to cheer her up properly. He listened as she ranted, and had to fight the smile that came to his lips when she yelled at the random stranger. At least someone else was copping it now too.
He began chuckling silently as she sat back down, trying to hold his body still. "That's why you're sad? Because you won't be able to see your feet? Tell you what, I promise any time you want to see your feet, I'll get a mirror ok?"

Liesl shook her head and a smile formed. "I want to be so mad at you right now." She played with her shirt a little and then flipped it up to look at the little bump. "What are you going to do with Kylie later?" She asked. "That is if she wants anything to do with you, but seriously, are you going to stop dicking around and actually do something to get your relationship blooming?" I need you to see how boring she is and realize she will never bring you as much entertainment and satisfaction as me.

Brody sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. She may not even want to see me. So I'll probably spend all afternoon grovelling. Geez, I have no idea how that feels." Rolling his eyes, he forced a smile. "No, I think maybe I'll take her to dinner if she'll come with me. We can talk about stuff then. There just never seems to be time for her and me. It's always one thing or another that gets in the way."
He sighed once more, and leaned back in his chair. "You know, I haven't told anyone in my family about the baby yet? I'm afraid of what Miki will say.. and I'm kinda scared that Jade will yell at me."

Liesl refrained from smiling when he stated that Kylie might not want to see him, she could only hope. "I thought your mom helped you find the car seat thing? You mean you haven't told your sisters?" She shrugged, it didn't matter much. "Dinner will be good." She rolled her eyes. Kylie looked like the type that would eat only a small salad, she couldn't imagine how much fun the two of them could have and talking would surely not be a problem for her, but he might not get a word in edge wise. "I think you meant to say I get into your way at least most of the time."

Brody nodded. "Yeah I told my mum, cause I figured that she will never be surprised by anything I tell her anymore. But I didn't tell my sisters cause...well Jade's always stuck up for me but I think this may be one too many times. And Miki hates me anyway...and Kylie is her best friend so I don't think I'm gonna get any helpful advice from her."
Shifting in his seat, he turned to look at her seriously. "You don't get in my way. Trust me. I want to spend time with you, I don't do it because I feel like I have to."

'How touching?' Liesl thought to herself as he explained how he wanted to spend time with her. Tears formed but she wiped them away, smiling at him through the tears. "I guess there's hope for me after all." She laughed. "If I weren't me and I saw someone acting like me I'd beat the crap out of them." She wiped at the tears that escaped. "I hate crying and I hate people who cry over the stupidest bullshit." She looked at him and laughed. "You think you could do me a favor and stop being so damn attractive? You're breaking my heart."

Brody bared his teeth, and crossed his eyes. "Better? There's not much I can really do without surgery. Although, we are at a doctors office so I could probably ask if they have anything I can take."
Relaxing his face, he grinned at her apologetically. "Sorry. I swear I'll act like a grown up once the baby is here. Oh, did I tell you? I got a job...sort of. I talked to this guy about an apprentice thing. The pay is crap and so are the hours but by the end of it I'll be a sparky."

Liesl laughed at him. "Oh, yeah that's loads better." She shook her head and fought the urge to hug him. "Alright, so what is a sparky?" She asked. "And will it let us have time together?" She asked. "I mean, I'm sure you'll have time off, but with your new girlfriend you might not have time for me." She was teasing him now, but she really wanted to know.

Brody grimaced. No matter how long he'd been away from Australia he still got words wrong. "Sorry. A sparky is an electrician. You know..coz of all the sparks..it's dumb. Anyway, I'll work from about 7am til about 4.30. So I'll have afternoons to spend with people. I only get about nine dollars an hour though, so I'm basically working for free."
He pretended to think hard about her last question, rubbing his chin and staring absently at the roof. "Well see, I'm not sure.. I may have no time for either of you. Just enough time for my little bean. Oh wait... I can only spend time with her if you carry her to me."

Liesl smiled. "I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to make you feel better. I like that you talk with Australian words, it's cute." She reached up and pinched his cheek gently. "So, nine dollars isn't two bad for a seventeen year old." She repositioned herself. "I'm thinking of getting a job at one of the restaurants in town, just so I can save up some money and not rely totally on my mom for our little bean." She giggled a little. "I actually like that nickname." She looked toward the doors, wondering if the doctors were ever going to actually come get them, or if they'd just let them sit in the waiting room forever. "I don't see how you're going to be able to hold a relationship down with Kylie, if you don't spend time with her." She crossed her arms. "I mean I'm not complaining, but I am. If you don't spend time with her you'll never know how things are going to be, and I'll be sitting here waiting for you for forever."

Brody grimaced a second time and closed his eyes. "I know I know. But I just keep wondering what if, when I try, she just laughs in my face and tells me to quit dreaming? I know you don't want to hear this, and you're being great about it, but I really like her. I don't want it to be some one way thing."
Sighing, he rubbed his face with his hand. "Sorry. I think I'll stop talking about Kylie. It's not fair to you. I'll let you know what happens about dinner and stuff though, if you want me to."

Liesl shrugged. "Actually I would like to know what's going on with you and Kylie, that way I know where the hell I stand." At that moment the nurse came and called her name. "Of course, they come when we're actually in the middle of talking." She rolled her eyes and got up. "Come on daddy, our little bean awaits."

Brody pushed himself out of his chair, beaming. He couldn't believe that in a few short months, he would actually be a dad. I'm gonna be the best dad ever. Much better than my own that's for sure.
When he reached the nurse, his grin stretched from ear to ear. "This is gonna be great. Is it too early to find out if it's a boy or a girl? When does that happen?" Brody tried to calm himself down and look more mature, but failing dismally. "Sorry. I'm just really excited."

The nurse answered all of his questions on their short walk to the examination room. She helped Liesl get situated and changed into one of the gowns and then told Brody not to worry about questions, she was there to answer them. Liesl played with the paper gown and when the nurse left, she reached for Brody's hand. "We're going to see our baby. She should have finger nails and a sucking reflex, wouldn't it be awesome if we got a picture of her sucking her fingers? I mean terrible habit, but it's still adorable." She was beaming and yet super nervous. "I kind of want it to be a girl now, just because we keep saying 'she'."
