[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

What!? No! Cora! I mean yes, I- Of course I want it. How could you think I don’t? I’m not use to this Cora! I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I’m very prone to blaming myself and breaking down when I get over whelmed! I was over whelmed! I got scared and I rambled on, and I fucked up. I didn’t mean what I said, Cora… I was just, confused… Of course I want it. I’m just, really lost right now..

[coraising]

Then why doesn't it seem like you do? You already have a daughter. You know how it feels like.. I- I don't. Okay? I'm scared and your reaction didn't help me at all.  You are not helping me at all.  I know you are and I have been too but that doesn't make me.. I don't-- I've been trying to help you. I did.. I do so much but sometimes, I just.. I need help too. I'm not motherly. I don't know the first thing about children. 

[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

I-I have no- okay yeah… So you’re cornering me now? I thought you hated me? I didn’t think you wanted my company.

[coraising]

Cornering you? God, Isaac. It feels like you don't even care. I wanted you to fight for me.. or at least, attempt to make amends with me but you didn't and you probably won't.  How am I supposed to.. -- what's going to happen? To us? To the baby? Do you not want it?

[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

Isaac was just sitting outside, nothing to do, nothing to think about. That was until someone was approaching him, looking rather angry. He instantly shot up, moving away slowly “Hey- uhm- you feelin okay?”

[coraising]

You've been avoiding me.

[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

Isaac backed away, almost tripping over himself. He wasn’t use to this, he never got yelled at anymore. He hadn’t been shouted at in so long. It just made him lose every word, every response, every thought. He just stumbled back in fear and panic. He hated being shouted at, and he hated it so much more when it was from someone whom he loved. He stammered, trying so very hard to speak and correct himself and figure it out but he couldn’t form the words. He just stood, staring, “SHUT UP!” He practically screamed as he fell backwards, hitting his back against the wall and covering his head, trying to take deep breaths to calm down.”

[coraising]

Cora stood there, watching him as she tried to calm herself down as she heard his screams. She could feel herself taking a step backward; she couldn't catch what she was feeling. She was terrified, worried and nervous. How could he even be mad at her? She took a deep breath, knowing she should leave. "I--.. I should.. I should go." She managed to let out, letting her hand lay on her bump once again as she walked towards the door. "I- I'm sorry for telling you that." She pulled the door open and walked out.

[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

Isaac stood in shock, not knowing quite what to say. Of course it was his! Cora would never betray him, she’s not like that! But somehow he couldn’t get himself to fully understand that concept. Her defensive shouting only set him off more “Well I don’t know! I believe you! Of course but hell it’s scary! I mean what if! I don’t know! Anyone’s!” He had meant more like, he had no idea who it would of been, but anyone, now that was bad word choice. He stopped again, shaking slightly as he filled with some kind of confused rage.

[coraising]

Cora stared at him in disbelief, feeling fury run through her veins as he spoke. If only he'd stop talking right now. Her voice was loud and her tone was no longer soft. "God, Isaac! Anyone's? I cannot believe you right now. If you don't want to have a kid with me, then you could easily tell me. But don't. Just don't accuse me of sleeping with someone else. I thought you knew me but I guess was wrong and stupid to think you'd see me any different.  You force me to tell you and then ask me if the baby is yours. --It was a stupid mistake telling you. I shouldn't have told you."

[ofteenagegirl]

     ”That sounds fantastic, Ms. Hale.”

[coraising]

Call me Cora. Ms. Hale makes me sound far too old.

[newohq]

It’s okay. That’s cute. And totally predictable. You know, the 'my daughter is so cute, you'll love her' conversation you two had before you came here. You two are engaged, right?

[coraising]

You're not little. Cute is a word used to describe toddlers. I've been here for awhile now. -- You know my brother, Derek.

[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

Isaac sucked in a small breath, nearly falling backwards as she told him what she was hiding. He began breathing heavily, in complete shock. Okay, he wasn’t expecting that. “I- Cora..” He whispered, making his way back over to her, stumbling around a bit as he was now over whelmed and shocked out of his mind. “It’s, it’s mine right? Yeah? You’re pregnant? With my baby?”

[coraising]

Cora sighed at his reaction, hoping it was good but his last questions only made Cora's blood boil. How could he think it was anyone elses?  She made her way past him, keeping her distance. "How could you think it was someone else's, Isaac? Is that how you think of me?" She paced back and forth, hurt that he'd think otherwise. " Who's baby would it be then if it wasn't yours? God, Isaac." Cora let out a frustrated huff.

[newohq]

Arabelle. Um.. So, it’s nice to finally meet you.

[coraising]

My bad. It's nice to finally meet you too. I've heard a lot about you which is why I've been waiting for this moment for awhile now.

[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

Isaac shook his head and pulled out of her embrace, backing up slightly “Cora, listen to me. If you are ever to take me seriously, do it now. I know that’s not it. I know you are thinking that it’s going to protect me to hide things that you want to say, but that is not going to help me. I want to know. You’ll only send me into a panic if you don’t come out clean and honest with me. Please.” He begged, staring at her as if to say he wouldn’t come back to her arms until she spoke up about whatever it was she  had on her mind.

[coraising]

Cora was taken back when Isaac pulled away; a look of shock appeared on her face before she shook it off listening to his words. She took a step back, turning around as she looked down deciding whether or not to tell him. She knew she had to. He'd probably be very upset if she didn't. Cora rested a hand against her small bump that was barely even visible. She still faced the counter. "Fine. I.. -- I just, I didn't want to tell you so soon, Isaac. But I'm.. I'm pregnant." She let it out, taking a deep breath.

[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

Isaac let out a shaking breath as he wrapped his arms around Cora. Somehow with how small and petite she was, he could hold onto her as if she was the toughest, brightest person in the world. In a way, she really was. He held onto her tightly, letting out a small whimper as he nestled his face into the crook of her neck “Cora…” He whispered, his lips against her neck “Why are you scared?”

[coraising]

Cora had never been one for relationships; with being spent most of her child running, she didn't have time but with Isaac it all came so naturally to her. Pulling away gently but keeping his arms around her, Cora cupped Isaac's face; a small smile reappearing on her lips. "-- I'm not scared. I just.. I miss you, that's all." She pointed out, hoping it was enough to cover it up. Overwhelming him with her pregnancy was not what Cora needed right now.

[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

Isaac smiled at Cora as she stayed put. He always felt safer around someone if they kept away when he was sad. He always needed to take things in slowly, first with them speaking to him, then they needed to wait for him to initiate any contact. She always knew that, and that’s why he trusted her so much. “Thank you..” He mumbled, and made the move to walk up to her, opening his arms as to show her that he did want comfort right now, and that he would rather speak later.

[coraising]

Cora couldn't help but smile as he approached her with his arms open. She took a step forward, wrapping her small arms around him as she let her forehead rest against his nose. He was so fragile right now that she couldn't tell him the news she had. It was for later on, plus Cora herself was terrified. 

[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

Isaac nodded slowly and looked to his feet. His whole mind set on this was pretty solid, he wanted to stay in town, take care of his family, and get better relationships with his friends. Though that came with a lot of little anxieties. He sighed as he rubbed his head again “I agree. It’s just a little over whelming right now. So I’m sorry if I’m a bit distant. It’s all very, well. Over whelming.” he repeated, keeping his head down. He felt guilty, guilty and nervous. That’s the only things he could really focus on.

[coraising]

Cora could see the sadness in his eyes as he looked down. Or she believed it was sadness for some reason. She wanted to take a step closer to him but the time she had spent with him, Cora knew her limits. "It's alright. I.. I will be here when I'm needed, Isaac. I'm not leaving. And if you want to tell me why you feel overwhelmed, I'm here to listen. Okay?" She hoped her words reassured him.

[odetotheskeletonclique-deactiva]

Isaac nodded at Cora as he made his way towards her, pushing his fingers through his hair nervously “Yeah. For good this time. I know I’ve been very in and out of here, and I’ve spent basically no time with anyone but you while I’ve visited. But I’ve met up with a few people, have had some run ins with others. I’m making my impact, because I’m really going to stay this time.”

[coraising]

Cora turned around; facing him with a smile still attached to her lips as she stood by the counter. "It's alright. I haven't been much here except to visit Derek and his family. Or whenever you're here. You plan on staying for good? That's great. I'm glad that you want to stay. We're better together than apart."

[coraising]

"You're back." The Beta smiled, looking at his reflection in the mirror. 

[newohq]

Sure. My bad. Cora, right? I’ve heard about you. 

[coraising]

Cora Hale. -- Yes, that would be me. You're Ara. Isaac's daughter.

[ofteenagegirl]

"Well, Thanksgiving is this week. What are your plans?"

[coraising]

"Spending time with my family."
