Saturday Evening . Park View district . [/color][/centre][/h3] Victoria unsteadily but happily greeted Ethan and ignored her major wanting alarm that she was openly kissing him in a public event with any number of potentially unfriendly persons. And add Siobhan and Paige.. Well she definitely had a few threats to watch tonight. Ethan set her down gentley and she reached out, grabbing his arm. For abit stability, she never had admitted how bad she had been before but it was pretty evident she was unsteady, her balence was shakey... [i][color=6ecff6]"Your never late, never early... But arrive exactly when you mean to? " [/color][/i] Teasing abit, she was glad he did not stand her up, that would be... Mortifying especially with said company tonight, plus she did go dress shopping just for tonight. His later conversation, well that shook her and her playful little touches to accent and turned to face him, almost falling at the thought, she grabbed hold of a nearby wall and looked rather scared by the idea. She really did not feel ready to be a parent... Leaning part her weight on Ethan, well quite abit... She really was definitely gonna need to go to hospital for a propper check... Maria would know what. Trying to stay as quiet as possible, she really wnated to avoid a public scene. [i][color=6ecff6]"Arm Implant, but...oh god... " [/color][/i] mumbling a bunch of things inteligabley in a hybrid of mumbles, English, Russian and so... Victoria finally felt a very very large penny drop. [i][color=6ecff6]"Never planned anything either. It was... A act of passion. I'm always so careful... Bar... Crap. " [/color][/i] as he grabbed her drink she really did not have much will to resist that one.[i][color=6ecff6]"If I'm.. Pr... Yeah. Il try and get in Sunday at hospital. I've been feeling... Off... Recently. Mocktail...i really do not want to advertise this. Especially round some guests. If so.. I think we... Talk. Seriously. What to do... I can hide it for a while. But... Not forever. " [/color][/i] the last part, a almost low hiss, her logical mind restored ernough to relise they needed to be sure, and discreet of possible. She took ethans arm for support and genuinely... Well she genuinely was into this for reals... Even if she expressed it badly. She was handling the idea... Well not fallen apart yet, and would talk it over with Ethan.. Perhaps Maria or her sisters help if needed. A little kiss on the cheek... She was not running away. She almost wanted to but had made her choice... And was sticking by it. A glance from Victoria on someone listening in too much, well pure ice was a understatement. She could have frozen there souls if they could freeze. Smiling slightly, she tried to make most of it and saw Reya and Marcus... Theybwhete adorable. Once they relised it... It was a good distraction from her own worries and knot trying to tie her stomach like a net, resting a urge to hold her hand over it... Too obvious. [i][color=6ecff6]"Marinalia Hides her talents at times. She shy at times despite her looks... I knew, but never expected her to publicly... Xia is really good for her. She might not like me.. But sure. Why not, Siobhan I may not be liked... But her talent is evident. . That's more fun, there too damn cute to each other. I suspect she gonna be not swapping teams again... " [/color][/i] adding her own observations, she saw Marinalia... Real Marinalia on show tonight, a happy, cheeky and a little flirty self that for past few months was a ball of nerves and baggage. Victoria noticed Reya, her brother and there questions... A short warning glance to her brother... If she was pregnant. It was her business. Reya would have help denning him on his way in a nice smelly bin. [i][color=6ecff6]"Sorry, My Handsome Date distracted me, so sister keeps him out of trouble! Egg, oh... Long story. He a good egg Don,t worry, its good. My sister and her mum love there egg puns. Panda... Not bamboozling me are you? " [/color][/i] laughing after a long kiss from Ethan, yep taken.. Famous and panda, s... OK that cheered her up abit. [i][color=6ecff6]"Please.... Or Reya can have her bin. "[/color] [/i] Colder but she if she really was... Well she really was protective of her kid... She had no idea what to do or how to feel or think but hell would be a vacation from her wrath at someone who hurt them. Seeing Marcus join in, she could not help but notice they where well matched... Hold her had... Come on... Hug her... Do somthing man... [i][color=6ecff6]"She is, your lucky, I've rarely known her sing in public, Il be OK, I've been far worse. Im just need a alittle support and il be OK." [/color][/i] Downplaying her medical hiccup, she really did not want to be seen as some invalid, long as she held on to Ethan, or a object she would be able to ride out the bout of weakness. [i][color=6ecff6]"Enjoy the party, and if your rich t tickets... You can have nicer than beer. Umm. See ya, I have to introduce Ethan to Maria and Siobhan. Have fun you two, talk later, your good eggs."[/color][/i] Ethan gave a false layer of confidence and with more than a alittle support glided her way over to the group, Though slowed Ethan a faction so she could appear a elegantly dressed woman, deep blue cocktail dress highlighting the intense raven black hair and pale alabaster, or porcelain skin. Maria answered first, blushing almost and laughing at his flattery in a good way. He was a real charmer... Though Victoria gave her a look that made her relise they needed to talk later. [i][color=bc8dbf]"Oh you know how to charm a lady. DR Maria, mother, but thanks for thr compliment... If I was Vika, s age and single" [/color][/i] Teasing him, Maria was worried but played along and could tell he was sharper than normal... Perhaps even sharp ernough to keep up with Victoria and visa versa. [i][color=f6989d]"Thanks Prince Charming though I'm on the wrong team you two alright? Vika...? Xia, if you can put up with my crzy family tonight. Maybe a quick nip to the caribian, peaceful. Beach, just us. Vika... No matter what. Got your back OK. " [/color][/i] genuinely concerned for her younger sister, Marinalia saw Siobhan and co, saw Milo, and saw things all quite did not add up. Glinting slate eyes where flashing about, she was rather worried. Maria leant over for a quick word with Victoria and whispered a second before she gave a concerned glance. Right now was not time for arguments but biological or not, Victoria was a daughter, and needed help. Marinalia felt bad Xia was caught up in her family chaos, Victoria well she needed help tonight, and if... Well she might need a few aunts to help out. Though she did go a alittle pink at idea of a very quiet beach and oh so not wearing much... She would be honest, she was a suprising wealthy woman. She could treat her beuterful girlfriend to a trip home. She might not be up for everything but definitely would not mind a alittle further. Somehow all the blocks just felt like They where slowly falling into place. [i][color=bc8dbf]"I'm a doctor. Good on drinking move, mocktails are fine, but hospital next. I Don t trust the chemist's stuff and Victoria is not average. Il help you, if your not gonna run." [/color][/i] Adding a quietly to Ethan, handing Victoria a mocktail version of one she liked, Maria was neutral on Ethan but if stood by her, she would help him, if not. Well he can talk to there lawyers if he wnated to leave her high and pregant. Gold eyes glancing across the room, she saw Siobhan and Co together, excusing herself, she headed over to them, part to hand in her bid and suprise Alexandria, and to makesure Victoria would not be tonight's joke. Walking over, she swapped from concerned mother to hardened Dr, and gold eyes glittering with intent. She really was not up for some gossiping vultures who she gave a fierce glance as she passed. Arriving after there quiet discussion just before leaving. Handing over a sealed bid for the snow decent painting of Corona park[i][color=bc8dbf]"Agh, Alexandria, I'd like to give you this, one has intrested me, and I'd like to place my bid. An excellent event miss Siobhan, alas the gossips seems to be busy, I have ernough on my plate tonight without a few sniggering ladies to deal. With. I hope the drama is not the theme of evening and your art is tonight's highlight. Have a nice evening, elegant ladies, and a handsome gentleman."[/color][/i] polite, but a very different Maria, her gold eyes would make anyone bar a hardened soul like Paige jump at determination hidden beneath. She really, really had ernough problems. To deal with tonight without gossips. A potentially pregnant Victoria, Maria was not in the most forgiving mood and her accent was tinged with a upper class edge not quite present before.
