"That's not true..." I say with a smile. "Everyone is smart at something, I'm just best at these star charts, I'm an idiot when it comes to potions and charms..." I say to them.

"What I need to do is identify several star formations other then the zodiac, Big and Small Dipper, and O'ryan Belt, draw them on this sheet as they appear in the sky, at what located they are at in terms of time, and do an essay on one, but I am able to do that with no problem," I replied, "And Shelby is right Rowan, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses."

"Oh, I know about Orion," I grin, "Sorry, I know where that is," I look up and point, "Riiiight...there. My favourite and the only constellation that I actually know."
"Yeah, I know about strengths and weaknesses, I'm just not too proud of my strengths..." I laugh lightly.

"I frown slightly. My greatest weakness is giving up hope that my husband is still alive somewhere..." I say in a sigh, as I try to hold back a few tears. "But anyway...big dipper is right there," I point just below the orion's belt. "And the little dipper is just to the right of it..." I say to her. "Their other names are Ursa Major and Ursa Minor."

I look at her a moment, then look back at the sky, not wanting to pry.

I sigh deeply. "I hope that helps Heaven..." I say to her with a fake smile. I walk back over to Rowan and sit down on the ledge.

"Wanna talk about it?" I ask.

"What exactly? My husband probably dead, or the fact that my former fiance was just recently killed..." I say almost in a whisper.

"Whatever you want to talk about. I'm good to just vent at, if you want to."

I smile slightly. "I'm not going to vent at you, you haven't done anything..." I say to him.

"No, but I feel guilty about a load of random shit at the moment so I probably deserve it," I smile weakly, "And I have no feelings besides guilt so don't worry about it." I laugh slightly.

"What do you mean by random?" I ask him. "Things with Ian?"

I slightly and take a deep breath. "I don't think I can raise three, now four kids on my own...It worries me so much..." I say as I pull up my knees to my chest.

"If it's any consolation, I've recently been thrust into the world of parenting and am completely lost. But, I think you can do it. I mean, you have so many kids, you obviously must want them, you obviously love them, and that's enough, isn't it?"

I look up at him. "You have a kid?" I ask surprised. "I did want them all and would do anything for them, but all four of them are under the age of three..." I say resting my head on my knees. "It's just hard doing it on your own with so many..."

"Uh-huh, shocking, no?" I laugh slightly, "I find it hard with one, can't imagine what it'd be like with so many, but you've just got to hang in there and it'll all be worth it in the end, right?"

Post by Shelby Chou on Sept 1, 2007 22:36:16 GMT
"It's always worth it in the end..." I say looking at him slightly. "So, how old and boy or a girl?" I ask him as I go back to face the sky.

"She's about a year and a half. Girl, but uber tomboy. Name's Poppy. And she has an imaginary butterfly named Chouko." I laugh slightly, "How about all yours?"

"Where to begin..." I say with a slight smile. "First there's Jennifer, she's almost three a tomboy as well, next is Zoe she's about two. Ashlyn is 14 months, and finally Isaiah is about 4 months." I say all in one breath. After I finish I laugh. "I'm crazy for having them so close in age..."

"Wow, yeah, you sure are." I grin, "Mentally, I'm about the same age as mine, so we get along fine."

I laugh so hard I nearly slip off the tower. "That wouldn't have been good..." I say as I now regain my balance and hold the wall.

I smile slightly. "I hate being alone like this though..." I say to him softly as I look over the ledge. "Who's Poppy's parents, since you just got thrown into parenting?" I ask curiously.

"Her mum passed on a little a while ago. I...er...didn't know about her until then." I say with a slight sigh.
I wanted to tell people the truth, Poppy was Ian and Erin's, and not mine at all, but we had to pretend, after all.
"And you don't have to be alone. We're both parents on our own together at the moment. We can help each other out, right?"

"Yeah, sure..." I say faking a smile. *Not what I meant...* I think to myself. "I never knew that either. Does Maddie know about Poppy?" I ask him.

I notice the fake smile, "Yeah, I know you didn't mean like that, but it's the best I can do."
"I don't know. We kind of told her she had an Aunt Maddie. But she hasn't met her yet, not until we can get her into the habit of calling him, Uncle Ian instead of daddy2. Don't even know why she does it."

"I understand, Jenny's mine and Logan Vassler's daughter." I say. "But when he died he gave custody to Briar Holmes, who was going to be his wife...that's not too confusing is it?" I say laughing at his expression.
