little ballerina girl

she held her pose like an ancient MASTERPIECE to be greatly adored; GRANDOISE, fascinating, beautiful and S L O W L Y falling apart.

Brady was in no place to yell at the girl. It was equally his fault that the pair was even in this situation. He was just as much apart of the equation as she was. Rhiannon was afraid and so was he. If he’d gotten mad at her, thrown punches at the wall and been reckless then it would have made matters worse. He eyed her closely and nodded as she withdrew to take the test. While she was gone he begun to pace, brushing his hands through his hair, his thoughts racing. When his girlfriend reemerged Brady straightened his back and he scratched his beard, shrugging his shoulders. “I don’t know.. I.. I don’t think a family is the best idea right now Rhi…”

It was torture waiting for the result to pop out and Rhiannon bit down on her lower lip harshly as she flicked her wrist over and over again, like that would somehow make the result come out quicker. She wasn’t surprised with his words and it was enough for her to move her gaze from the pregnancy test stick to look at him. “I’m not ready to be a mom.” Rhiannon admitted but she couldn’t stop the next words from escaping her lips even though a part of her was yelling at her that it was unwise to even think these words, let alone say them. “Do you... want a family, though? In the future? With....um, me? Is that... something you’d....eventually- I don’t know... want?” Rhiannon asked, fumbling with her words as she looked down.

He paused in thought, tongue swiping carefully over his bottom lip. “I’m not entirely sure. I don’t exactly remember wanting much aside from hoping to make my family proud, which unfortunately, isn’t a hobby.” Simon grinned easily at that although the mere realization that he was surprisingly aimless for such an organized perfectionist, was a bit of a shock. “My hobbies aren’t necessarily things I strived for in terms of looking for a career however. Reading, swimming, running, I could never imagine myself getting paid for any of it.”

“I know that feeling.” Rhiannon said, quirking her eyebrow. It was already a known deal that Rhiannon’s mom was the Stage Mother from Hell because even though her daughter was already well into her twenties, she still thought she could handle her. “You can join one of those triathlons? Don’t they have a cash price if you win? Or do you just get a medal and that’s it?”

Clay shrugged, “At least not a bad one, I guess”, he chuckled and nodded his head at her question. “How could I forget..” She had always had that drive in her, but even if he didn’t understand much of her dancing world, he knew that she had always been so much more talented than all those other kids. 

[rhiannonblake-blog]

“We were such playful kids, always running around and I’m pretty sure you made me cry one time because I was ‘it’ when I didn’t even want to be ‘it’.” Rhiannon said, laughing fondly at the memory. It was always nice to go down that road with Clay because he had been the one who had been her since practically the very beginning. “Of course, my mom hated that we were running around because there were so many things that could go wrong. I could trip and sprain my ankle, I could bla, bla, bla.” Rhiannon said, shaking her head. Even then her mother had been overbearing.

          Rhiannon’s face turned hard as Rowan spoke, a look she didn’t see on the girl very often. She saw Rhiannon roll her eyes in frustration, and a twinge of guilt appeared in her chest. She shoved it back down under the anger.  “You think I’m not gonna notice that you keep looking over here?” She probably didn’t mean anything by it. Rhiannon had always been kind to her. “Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of anger and aggression left for the bag.” She snapped around and her fist went flying into a bag, as if to prove her statement. It shook with the blow of her punch. She’d thought she was done with the workout, but apparently not. 

[rhiannonblake-blog]

“What the hell is wrong with looking? I wasn’t even talking to you. You’re not the center of my world, Rowan.” Rhiannon asked, getting frustrated. “Really, Rowan. If you had a stick up your ass, just tell me so I don’t have to go through this long, painful show of you having to show me you’re so aggressive and that I should be so scared of you.” She wasn’t usually one to fight back, especially since she considered Rowan her friend but this was just too much. Staring apparently omitted a fight nowadays and Rhiannon just wanted to say her piece and go. “I’m sure you do. Talk to me when you’re done being an asshole.”

Brady wasn’t entirely sure how he should have reacted to Rhiannon’s news. He didn’t know if he should have been excited, scared or furious. While it helped that they had already been in a long standing relationship but he wasn’t expecting this, he wasn’t expecting to have a family. His job didn’t warrant family life. It wasn’t stable. Brady stepped back and brushed his fingers through his hair, shaking his head at the thought before dropping the flowers on the table. “Well.. go for it.. I’m right here..” he muttered, turning to look at her again as he bit his lip. “I need to know.. We need to know. Right now.”

[rhiannonblake-blog]

Rhiannon was glad that Brady didn’t blow up on her. It had been what she thought would be his first reaction, and some of the tension in her shoulders relaxed when it didn’t look like he was angry, but just as shocked by this as she was. She wasn’t ready for a family, that much was clear. Though she wanted to have one in the future, now just wasn’t the right time for it and though she and Brady never really talked about it, she wasn’t even sure if he wanted one. Gulping, Rhiannon held on tightly to the box and leaned in to press a kiss to his cheek. “I’ll be right back.” She murmured before going back to the bathroom. The box contained specific instructions and Rhiannon followed all of them but unfortunately, there was a waiting time before the results would pop up. She hadn’t been this nervous since the first time she got on stage in New York and she held onto the stick with one hand while the other held Brady’s. “What will we do if it comes out positive?” Rhiannon whispered.

“I wouldn’t push myself to that point, but the sentiment is appreciated regardless.” Simon briefly cocked his head at the statement, lips pressing tightly together as he considered her words. “I don’t have much to give up on. It’s clear that I’ll never rid myself of my current job,” he paused, “and my job seems to be all I have at the moment.”

[rhiannonblake-blog]

“Come on, Simon. Accept the love.” Rhiannon teasingly said. “Hey, hey, hey. It’s not the only thing you have. I mean, you have me? And the world is full of possibilities and I know I sound like some commercial for something totally unrelated tot he universe but you’re not all alone. Besides, you don’t have any hobbies? What did you want to be when you were younger?”

[ericmonty]

To say Brady had been busy would be an understatement. He had countless runs to make, negotiations to deal with and meetings with Nolan piling up. He had been neglecting Rhiannon and he felt terrible about it. After leaving the compound he managed to pick up some flowers in hopes of putting a smile on the girl’s face. He made his way bak to her apartment and opened the door, noticing her fumble a bit with something before straightening up and smiling in his direction. Brady pushed the odd behavior aside and smile softly. “Hey Princess.. got you these.” he noted, approaching her slowly before wrapping an arm around her waist. “How’re yo-” he begun but felt a box brush his hand. “What’s this?” he questioned, his eyes growing wide as she ripped the box from her grip. Brady felt his stomach drop, his eyes flicking back up to his girlfriend. “Ar- You’re pregnant?”

[rhiannonblake-blog]

The fact that be brought her flowers was such a sweet gesture but she knew as soon as she saw him walking towards her that she couldn’t keep what was behind her back a secret for much longer. She should’ve just thrown it under the couch or something and picked it up when he left. Rhiannon felt that familiar sense of dread when she saw his face because that was the same feeling she had when she had the thought that she just might actually be pregnant. Rhiannon took a shaky breath before shrugging. “I- I actually don’t know. That’s why I-I bought it.” She said, stammering over her words slightly. It wasn’t that she was scared of Brady, it was that she was scared of what he might do because of it. Would he leave her? Pushing those thoughts away, Rhiannon met his eyes. “My period’s late. That almost never happens and I.... I bought that t-to make sure, but I haven’t...... even opened it yet.” She said, her eyes dropping.

the night air was cool and the sky was clear, reagan hadn’t seen a night quite like it in a long while. perhaps it was the reason she was outside, propped up against her apartment building’s wall with a lit cigarette in between her fingers. she had only taken two drags of it, as the ecstasy of the smoke was drowned out by the magnificence of the night atmosphere. turning her head to the side, she noticed someone to her left. “what’re you doin’ out so late?” she inquired, her tone much more pleasant than usual. “haven’t you heard, the freaks come out at night? or are you into that sorta thing?” she mused, simply trying to create small talk.

[rhiannonblake-blog]

Rhiannon had been bustling from the studio and as usual, she hadn’t noticed that time had passed by so quickly. It was already dark out when she cut the music and stretched her legs and closing up the entire studio and putting things where they belonged also took a long time. When she had gotten out, it was already so late that she wondered if Brady would be up for picking her up. However, she didn’t want to disturb him or his work and it was only a short walk from the studio to her apartment so she decided to just go back on her own. “I was caught up in the studio.” Rhiannon explained as she saw the familiar form of Reagan by the building they shared. “Oh, you know me. I do like them a little freaky but I’m more than happy with my boyfriend, thank you very much.” Rhiannon said, a smitten smile forming at the thought of Brady. “What are you doing out?”

“hey, hey, wait up.” henry called out for the person walking in front of him, hand grasping for their arm, beathing heavily as he leaned closer to them, trying to hide his face from the people surrounding them. “can you just… stay where you are for a second? possibly hiding me from the tall angry brunet marching our way? it would save my life. literally.”

[rhiannonblake-blog]

Rhiannon was surprised to hear the desperation in Henry’s voice and nodded her head without hesitation. Loyalty was one of Rhiannon’s main traits and she would do everything for her friends. “Yeah, no problem. Anything you need.” She said with a smile before turning around to sneak at peek at whoever he was referring to. “Why, what’s the problem? Is she stalking you or something? Mad ex?” She asked as she continued to search the crowd.
