His hands naturally rubbed her as a gesture of comfort. Having stopped their little arrangement ever since the announcement, Braxton missed having her in his arms. The wolf convinced himself that it was because they haven’t hung out in a while and he just missed having a friend around. 

While she did tell him that he was free of any responsibility, Brax had taken a note to keep an eye on the human. This was his mess and despite his appearance, he was actually panicking as much as Grace was. “You’re going to be fine, Keller.” He reassured her once more and believed his own words. Grace was a very capable woman and he knew that she was going to be fine no matter - he was going to help out even if she told him not to. The beta knew that he couldn’t really hide it from the pack for eternity anyways. But he hadn’t quite figured out how to handle it all. 

Getting to his car, he opened the passenger door for her before getting to his side. The drive was fast - advantages of being in a small town, nothing was that far apart. Within the hour, Braxton had gotten them there. “Am I allowed to go in with you? I don’t.. really know how this works..” He chuckled, keeping the mood light. 

“I’m glad you think so,” Grace chuckled softly. It was strange, she had to admit, to have his support like this even after everything she had said. She knew he was stubborn and that was partially what drew her to him, but there were only so many times that someone was told that they didn’t have to be involved before they got the picture and disappeared and, quite honestly, she didn’t want that. Never had. Braxton was IT for her, and knowing that the other didn’t think that about her was the fuel behind her asking for him to step back. “It would kind of suck if I wasn’t...” she tried to joke.

Once the door had been opened, Grace slipped into the vehicle and pulled on the seatbelt. Her eyebrow arched in surprise as it took a little bit more effort to pull it over the bump that was forming nicely under her jacket. Once the belt was clipped in, her hand went back to her stomach and rested there. It was real, she thought. The idea of having a child was becoming more real with every passing day. Though she could do without the daily sickness that served as a reminder.

“Neither do I, really,” she admitted as she turned her head to face him. “I’m just as new to this as you are,” she managed a small smile. “Do you -- do you WANT to go in with me?” She tried to keep all sense of pleading out of her voice. She was still incredibly nervous and the butterflies in her stomach was NOT helping the situation at all. “It would be nice to have a familiar face in there with me...” 

It would be nice to have HIM in there... holding her hand... holding her...

He was familiar with most medical issues, being trained as an EMT as well as a firefighter with his first responder training. But cramps and girl problems were still somewhat foreign to the male, prompting him to have even more respect for women because of what they endured. “It’s okay…” he replied, kneeling down in front of her. “Are you all right?”

Grace blinked a couple of times before focusing on the male in front of her. She gave him a soft smile when she recognised the face then slowly shook her head. “I think -- I think so. The cramp is just worse than it was before, but I don’t want to WORRY anyone and I’m sure it’ll pass. Don’t... don’t worry about me, I’m fine.”

“Are you okay, Ms. Keller?” Concern was evident in her words. Hazel had noticed that the teacher hadn’t feeling her best lately and was getting more worried by the day. 

“Sorry,” the music teacher was quick to apologise once again for zoning out. “It’s nothing to worry about, Hazel. I promise. It’ll... pass.” At least, she hoped to God it would. “How are you and your mom doing?” Once again, Grace passed the torch of attention on to another.

“Nothing happened,” Camilla reassured the brunette, chuckling lowly. “I just asked if you are okay? You’re looking a little green around the gills.”

“Oh... yeah, I’m okay. Or, I will be once the nausea passes,” Grace wrinkled her nose in disgust of her current situation. “How -- how are you, Camilla?” she then asked, deliberately removing the attention from herself.

“How are you not paying attention?” The hunter sighed dramatically as he shook his head. “Nevermind.” Orion never did like repeating himself. “S’wrong with you?” The woman seemed to be in pain but his question wasn’t out of concern, it was to attest whether it might be a problem for him or not.

“I've had bigger things to concentrate on this week,” Grace almost snapped at the male. Her morning sickness was out of control and she just -- it was one of those ‘I want the world to burn’ days. It was safe to say that the human DID NOT do well with being sick. “I’m pregnant, and it’s REFUSING to be an easy one.”

             Grace had spent the last ten minutes zoned out, her focus on the nausea rather than what was being said. However, after another churn of her stomach, her attention was brought back to the current situation. “Sorry... what? What happened?” She glanced around before looking at her company. “Sorry... cramp stole my attention for a moment.”

“You look like you’ve had a day, need one of these?” Leo asked, shoving over the glass filled with liquor closer towards them.

             "A busy one, that's for sure," Grace nodded before slowly declining the drink. "I wish I could, but I can't. Sorry, Leo. I'm guessing by the alcohol that your day wasn't particularly good, either?"

“It was nice to get away for a bit, but, God, it’s even nicer to be back.”

            "God, El. I thought I'd never see you again. It's definitely nice to have you back."

It had been out of habit when he slung his arm around her but it might have made it worse if Braxton had suddenly pulled away as if he had made a mistake or something which was the last thing he wanted Grace to feel - that whatever they had was a mistake. Of course, the baby wasn’t supposed to happen but there was nothing they could do but see this through.

He still didn’t know how he was supposed to feel because he could hear the second heartbeat and going to the doctors just made everything so much more surreal. But there was no way he’d let his nervousness show especially when Grace was freaking out herself. Though she had told him that he didn’t need to worry about the responsibilites, that just wasn’t the type of guy he was. He fooled around, yes. But when situations like this arise, Braxton had to own up to it somehow. It just so happened that this was a bit more complicated so he was going to help out in places he could. Eventually the pack was going to find out but until then, he won’t speak a word. "Relax, Keller. You’ll be fine. You’re always panicking about things you shouldn’t be in the first place.”

            The arm around her form only served to confuse the feelings that she had done so well in locking away several weeks ago. It was comforting and confusing all at the same time and, honestly, in her current state of mind and situation she didn't hate it. It just felt so nice to be held by something familiar because her body and life were almost like strangers to her now.

            Her mouth opened to counter his words with her I'm twenty-nine, single and living in a house that wants to fall apart argument as to why she should feel panicky but the words never came out. It was no longer his burden to bear, and she had made a point of him knowing that when she first told him about the baby. She may regret her words now, but it was a solution that was best suited to their situation. He didn’t commit and she wasn’t forcing him to -- despite her wishing that he would. "I'm a Keller, we were born to panic. Seriously." Despite herself, the human chuckled. "I suppose it can be taken as a positive that I'm still able to form somewhat coherent sentences and walk in a straight line. My mother told me that dad panicked so much when she found out that she was pregnant with me that he tried to leave the room after stuttering through a bunch of 'how's' and walked into a wall. If you take that into consideration I'm doing okay." But still nervous. God, she was beyond nervous at this point.
