She chuckled to herself, knowing full well Val was right. Would have probably swatting the paint swatch out of her hand at the store. But it's why she loved her. Helaena's smile slipped away as quickly as it came at the mention of the baby's father, sighing as she sat down in the rocking chair in the corner. 'I don't know Val. I've told him finally what's going on and he hasn't said a fucking word.' No surprise there, really. 'But I have to at least offer him the chance to want to be involved.' It was just the kind of person she was. 'But of course you'll be involved. The cool aunt if you will.' Even as she said it, it didn't feel right. Valerie was more than that. Meant more than that to Helaena herself.
