I smiled and nodded still looking down at Jake and up to Erin for a second, "I'd like that."

"I would to." I smile at him. "I'm going tobe sticking around these parts though. My step-mum kicked me out."

"She kicked you out? Becuase of the baby?" I asked quietly, and then I nodded my head slightly, "I am too actually..."

I nod my head. "She didn't take to it very good.." I mutter. "Why are you hanging around here?" I ask slightly curious.

"I'm sorry.." I said quietly back to her and then pausing for a second when she asked. "There's something I never told you... about me."

"It's not your fault." I say to him. I look up at him, "What do you mean?"

"Well, technically it is." I say with a small sigh, looking down to Jake. I swallowed and looked back up at her, pausing for another second, "I'm a wizard."

"Takes two people to make a baby Joe." I tell him, trying to make things better. I sit there for a moment and nod my head. "Umm..Okay." I say to him. "I'm a squib."

I chuckled, "I guess." I say with a shrug and then turn to her when she says she's a squib, "You are?" I asked her letting out a breath I had been holding in.

I nod my head, "Is that okay with you?" I ask him now a bit worried.

I let out a sigh of relief and smile slightly with my eyes closed. I open them and look back up at him still smileing. "No reason." I say to him as Jake starts to crry softly.

I smiled and then looked down at Jake when he starts to cry, "I, uh, don't know what to do.."

"Try rocking him back and forth lightly." I tell Joe. If Jake started to cry to much I'd try, but for now I'd let Joe.

I nod my head slightly and start to rock him gently in my arms, "shh.." I say silently down to him.

I smile as Jake starts to calm down and slowly get's to sleep in Joe's arms. "See, you know what to do." I tell him quitely.

I chuckled a little more and gave a small nod, "I guess I could do that."

"See. I'm always right." I chuckle softly. "Here..Let me lay him down in a crib. You and I have some talking to do."

I nod my head and hand Jake over to her, guessing for myself what we had to talk about.

I take Jake from him lightly and go over to the crib the healers had set out for him. I stay looking over him for a few moments and smiled down at him as he slept.
I walk back over to Joe and sit back down next to him. We had never ended things. He had gone to school, which I know now he had come here, and I had just left. We never saw each other durring the holidays anyways. I always went with my dad to familys homes. He wouldn't find out I was gone. I still had feelings for him.
But I'd save that subject for later. "How are we going to work this out, with the baby I mean." I ask looking up at him.

I turned toward her and shook my head slightly, "I don't know.." I told her honestly, "We're so.. young." I said not really knowing what to say.

"Niether do I." I admit. "That guy that was in here and his girlfriend offered to take care of Jake until I was ready to try on my own." I tell him, "Do you want to do that, or just try it together now?"

I pause and look over to the crib that Jake was lying in.
"I-... part of me, would like to try and another part's telling me that I don't think i could handle it..." I say quietly looking down at my hands.

I lean my head down and so I can look at his face. "It's up to you. I can handle it if you can..."

"I'm sure if you are." I say with a slight nod. "What if it ends up not working though?"

"Then..." She paused. "Then we'll figure it out. I'm living with my sister now...And Riley and Riyann will help it doesn't work." She said. "You can stay at my sisters place if you'd like so you can be around him more."
