[b]Shannon - Auto Garage - James, Amelia & Daniel[/b]

Upon exiting the vehicle, James hugged Shannon tightly. She wasn't sure how to respond, and there was a few seconds of hesitation before Shannon hugged him back. James wasn't exactly a child, but he was still a kid in Shannon's eyes. She had never been great around kids. She had never had any younger siblings (Or any siblings at all) and even Danny's younger sister was far more friendly with Danny than she had ever been with Shannon. Shannon had simply never had the privilege of interacting with children and had never given it much thought. God, she didn't know if she [i]herself[/i] had even wanted children. It was something she always decided she would think about later, and when the world turned into the way it was now, she decided it was not a thing she would ever have to think about again. That didn't seem to be the case now, with James becoming so uncomfortably attached to her in such a short time. It was a tiring thought.

Shannon placed a hand on James' head and said, "It's fine. We can go inside." She led James into the auto garage, where she introduced James to Amelia. "And this is James." She held back on introducing James as her son, because - Her eyes turned on Daniel - she figured the charade wasn't so important anymore. After introductions were done, Shannon said to Daniel, "So, uh, do you have a place where I can..." Shannon leaned in closer to whisper. "Relieve myself? Something outside...?" Six months of gross living with other people shaved some of the embarrassment off her question, but Shannon could still feel her face growing slightly flushed.
