After grabbing a quick bite to eat, both Nova and Gategaurd were
down where they needed to be in less then five mintues. Nova had to
hold Gateguard's hand to help him get through the busy tunnel ways
of 13. The gaurd let Nova through with out question but hestitated
with Gateguard, however after he did on Nova's order. After
everyone was abord the hovercraft they were up in the air and
Nova's prep team came to retrieve her. It didn't take long and Nova
was back within five mintues wearing and all black jumpsuit, her
Mockingjay attire. On her back was a small little rectangular box
that Gateguard and Adelaide quickly noted where Nova's engergised
whip was stored.
Leaf smiled and opened her eyes to see Harlow, with a quiet hum
Leaf snuggled into Harlow more.
(take some time for interactions I have to shower.)

Adelaide was escorted to meet with her prep team, who gave her some
touching-up, but the most important piece of her ensemble was her
armor. White, fierce and almost cruel in
beauty.
Sometime after Harlow had fallen asleep, Gran and Fern poked their
heads in to check on the two to find Harlow snuggling a Leaf all
curled up in a cat-beritto state. It took everything Fern had not
to laugh.
Gran steps into the room quietly, not wanting to distribute them
just yet. She moment she walks in, Sage starts fussing, which wakes
up Willow. Harlow sits up, ready to help. Gran moves over to the
cribs and picks up Sage, she passes the fussing child over to
Harlow and grabs Willow.
"What are you doing here?" Harlow asks after a yawn.
Upon hearing the twins, Leaf woke up and at first struggled to
untangle herself from the mass of blanket and pillows before taking
Sage into her arms. "It's okay sweetie, I'm here." The twins
stopped fussing almost as soon as Leaf spoke, as if they were happy
to see her.
"We wanted to check up on you both." Fern says rocking back and
forth on her feet. "That and Nova went to Two."
The color drains out of Leaf's face not nessiarly from what Fern
has said, but just the "lovely perks" of being pregnant. Morning
sickness was a pain in Leaf's side. She handed the happily babbling
Sage back to Gran before excusing herself to the bathroom again,
despite Leaf trying to be quiet, Leaf's retching could still be
heard from the other room.
Fern looked at Harlow. "Poor Leaf, she's got an upset stomach."
Harlow and Gran's eyes meet. "Yeah that's it" Harlow tells Fern.
"It's just a bug, she'll get over it soon, don't worry" she didn't
really like lying to Fern. But if she admitted that Leaf was
pregnant she would have to explain how...and well, she didn't
really want to do that.
"Maybe we should get her some soup" Gran speaks up. "Fern honey?
Would you mind running to the kitchen to get some?" Gran hands Sage
back over to Harlow. "I am going to talk to her" Gran whispers to
Harlow. Her face tightens slightly as she walks into the bathroom.
She knew what was coming.
Fern nodded and headed to the ktichens to see if they'd be willing
to bend the rules for Leaf, just this once.
The sound was unpleasant, nevertheless the sight. Leaf was kneeling
in front of the toilet again bringing up what little was still in
her stomach, but once it was empty Leaf started dry heaving,
coughing and gagging into the toilet.
"Oh honey" Gran tells Leaf. "Just let it out dear" she grabs a
ponytail and ties Leaf's hair back. She also rubs Leaf's back, just
like Harlow had done "There we go" she encourages. Using a free
hand, she wets a rag and holds it out for Leaf to use when she was
done.
When Leaf's gagging eventually quit her hand fumbled before finally
grabbing the wet rag from Gran with a quiet "Thank you." and wiped
the contents off her mouth and threw it in with the rest of the
rubbish in the toilet and flushing the contents down. With an
exhausted sigh Leaf sat down, leaned against the wall and closed
her eyes.
Gran crouches in front of Leaf, there is a sympathetic look on her
face. She grabs hold of Leaf's hands. "You're pregnant aren't you?"
Gran asks. When Leaf nods she continues. "Leaf... I can't help you
make a good decision without knowing how you feel. Personally, I
would love to have another grandbaby waddling around, but I also
can understand why you would hold back. I want what's best for you"
Leaf was hesitant on giving and awnser because her mind was still
at war. The no in her was her worries and fears of something
happening not just to her, but the baby and Harlow and the others.
The yes in her was screaming that it wasn't fair to the baby to be
killed off before having a chance to live. . .and maybe because she
partly felt that way because of Thyme's untimely death. Leaf bit
her lip and looked at Gran with wide eyes and Gran could already
see Leaf's response. "I dont know, I've been thinking about it but
I'm still torn."
Gran smiles. "I know you Leaf. You'll stress yourself out thinking
this over- which'll worry poor Harlow. But when it comes down to
it. I know you'll keep the baby" she hugs Leaf. "You are strong
Leaf, you'll make it through this. Through everything. And if you
feel like you can't.. well, you always have us"
Leaf for a moment was taken a back by the sudden hug but then
hugged Gran tightly as the tears started up, Leaf was already
blaming the hormones. "Thank you Gran." Leaf's shaky voice
whispered.
"It's no problem dear" she pulls away from Leaf, her face suddenly
stern. "Now.. you clean yourself up and help yourself to some soup
when it arrives. You need to eat something" Gran tells Leaf. She
quickly hurries off to see how Fern is doing.
Harlow hangs by the door, a smirk on her face. "Feeling better
now?" Harlow asks. As she walks into the bathroom to help Leaf
clean up.
Leaf nodded and quikly rinsed her mouth out and splashed water on
her face to help her feel a bit better. When Harlow gave Leaf the
teasing smirk Leaf smiled a bit but put her hand up to block Harlow
from her line of sight. "Yes, I'm feeling better, but shame on you
for ease dropping." Leaf crawled up into bed and went under the
covers again.
Fern was carrying the tray with a bowl of broth, which was
recomended for Leaf rather then soup. Even though she was donig a
good job the chid's arms still wobbled at the weight of the tray
and the bowl and the fact that she still had a ways to go.
Harlow is quick to grab the bowl from Fern... Just in case. "Thank
you Fern" Harlow tells her. "Leaf is gonna love this. We should let
her rest after she eats. She had a rough night" Harlow takes the
bowl over to Leaf. "Breakfast in bed my love" Harlow tells Leaf as
she gives her an overexaggered bow. She passes the bowl over to her
as she does so.
