Raine couldn't help but laugh a little at just how convinced that James was that Elliot was Chinese, how did he even get that in his head? She and Elliot had never mentioned anything about China in front of him or at least she didn't think that they had. "Oh nothing, my Chinese lover." She was just teasing him, obviously, she knew that he wasn't actually Chinese. "Why does he even believe that?" She was so confused as to how that happened but whatever, it wasn't worth fighting him on.
She plated up some of the food for Elliot with a smile before handing it to him like a good little girlfriend, "I love you, baby and I think that we should tell them right now that I'm pregnant." She nodded quickly before skipping into the living room and clearing her throat. "Hello family and Elliot's parents." She had both her hands over her stomach before she glanced over to Elliot and pointed at him rather dramatically. "Elliot has something to say!" Why was she putting him on the spot like this? She winked at him before she sat down on the couch to watch what he would do now.
Tell them? She was hoping that this was going to get him sort of angry so he would be all hot and steamy tonight when they took another shower. She liked him when he was all animalistic and passionate and just not gentle. She wasn't a fragile little fairy! She was a sexual lioness who wanted her prey err Elliot.

"I don't know about him." Elliot laughed. "I think he's mad, gone completely bonkers." He took his plate of food and took one bite before setting it down because she suggested they tell everyone now.. right this instant. "Wait, Raine!" He quietly shouted after her. It was too late though, she was already in the living room and broadcasting that they had something to say.
That he had something to say. Elliot had stepped back into the room, wide eyed and feeling like he was about to throw up. He froze, and couldn't find his voice so he looked behind him as if there was another guy named Elliot standing there. "Hm? Oh.. uhm.." Fuck, what could he say. You're going to be grandparents! No... I knocked up your daughter, but it's okay because we're living together and I want to marry her! No.. Then it hit him like a freight train. "How many people do you guys think are in this room?" He asked, quoting Raine's words. His parents looked around trying to count everyone and looked confused by his question.

How many people do you think are in the room? What the fuck kind of a question was that? James glanced from Elliot to Raine as if trying to silently ask them if Elliot was on some sort of medication that they should be aware of before it hit him.
That was how she announced her pregnancy before to him! "Oh for fuck's sake, Raine is pregnant and Elliot is the father." He felt mighty proud of himself for being the one who got to announce that! Their parents gasped, he heard a plate fall and shatter to the ground from the kitchen as their brothers and her brother's life partner or whatever they were calling each other came in and started glaring at Elliot's crotch like it was the devil and they were going to destroy it.
Raine decided to end the awkward silence by making it even worse! "And guess what? It's twins!" She sounded excited about it in hopes that someone would pick up on that and the mood would change to happy times. Nope. The glaring just got more intense and James grew quiet before he started wiping his eyes. "The world needs Raine and Elliot's babies!" He glanced up at Raine who was giving him an odd look so he quickly defended his crying or overflowing of awesome. "I'm not tearing up! I'm just so awesome that it has to come out somehow."

Elliot's expression went from scared to shocked to panicked when James went ahead and announced it for them. He felt like God himself was reached down and pinching his lungs shut and laughing while he did it. He just stood there and then it was like a bus ran him over when Raine told everyone it was twins. Shouldn't he be happy about all of this? Not having to hide their little miracle babies anymore? He was a father to the true love of his life's children. The crash of a dropped plate somewhere behind him made him jump a little bit and again when her other brothers walked in the room.. right past him and were giving him the look a hawk gives the rabbit he's about to swoop down and kill.
His mother was the first to say something. "Oh my my. That is something." She started, a smile on her face and her hand over her heart. She looked surprisingly happy with the news, his father did as well, even though she looked as if she was about to burst from joy and excitement. "This is just wonderful, just simply wonderful!" She said, hopping up and hugging Raine and then Elliot. She didn't leave his side though as she caught a glimpse of the vulturous stares being aimed at him.

Raine was really happy that Elliot's parents were so cool about the pregnancy and everything because she honestly didn't know what she was going to do if they were angry, too. "Mommy? Daddy?" She glanced over to her parents who looked completely serious and her father looked a little bit like he was going to jump up and rip Elliot's heart out. She could feel her heart breaking when her mother dragged her father into the kitchen where they argued loudly before her mother said in what was clearly meant to be a whisper so quiet that nobody in the living room would hear 'don't worry, sweetie, she'll probably miscarry these babies, too and there won't be anything to worry about so don't lose your temper'.
Raine could feel her eyes filling up with hot tears and she grabbed her jacket from the coat rack before heading outside after saying a quick 'I'm going for a walk'. She didn't want to stay inside of that house for another second knowing that her own parents couldn't muster an ounce of joy over her pregnancy. She didn't care that her heels were sticking in the snow or that she was sort of freezing because she was just wearing a thin fake leather jacket and it had been snowing pretty hard all day.
She was trying not to cry but the tears just kept coming. She didn't walk very far, just to the end of the sidewalk. Her parents lived in a nice little neighborhood and she was just looking at all of the beautifully decorated houses that she passed. She couldn't help but wonder if any of those families had drama like this, too.

She'll probably miscarry these babies too. Raine's mother's words lingered in his ears like a haunted tune. Raine.. she was heading out of the house before he could get the opportunity to stop her. He snapped out of his shock and kissed his mother in the forehead before grabbing his own jacket and followed after her.
He stopped in the entryway of the kitchen before heading after her. God give me courage. He prayed in his head before speaking. "You may not like me.. you may even hate me now, but things like that shouldn't be said." He started at her parents. He didn't care if everyone else could hear him. "I love your daughter. And this is damned well the best thing that could have happened to us and if you can't accept all of this, then that's fine with me. I plan on being there for her and our babies, you should be too." He had a stern look as he stared them down for a second and then rushed out the door and letting out the deep breath he was holding and slid his coat on.
Had he really just stood up to her parents like that? What would they think? Would they send them home? Would her father want to punch him? or her brother? or brothers? or all of them even? He didn't care, he just wanted to look for Raine. She wants that hard to find in her black outfit against all of the white snow. Elliot trotted up next to her, taking his coat off on the way. "You'll catch your death out here." He said, laying the warm and well insulated coat over her shoulders. "That didn't go as planned." He said, looking across the street at a lively looking house. Elliot wrapped his arm around her.

Raine wasn't really surprised that Elliot had came outside after her and she was even less surprised that he felt the need to put his jacket over her shoulders. She wanted to look strong and happy for him like her parents' approval didn't matter now that she was an adult but it did matter. She wanted them to be happy that she was having a family with her boyfriend of many years. It wasn't like they had broken up a lot in the past or even fought. They were practically the perfect couple! "I don't.." She was going to say that she didn't understand why they were so upset but she couldn't even finish her sentence. "I just...." She wanted to tell him all of the different feelings going on in her head but she didn't know how she could when she was so hysterical.
Why was she even so upset? Her parents didn't support her! They didn't need to approve of her choices and she was just going to be happy whether they were or not. "Elliot..." She whimpered as she buried her head into his neck and cried harder than she thought was possible. She had never cried this hard in her entire life not even after she had the miscarriage and wanted to die. She wasn't suicidal over this, of course, but she felt like she couldn't do anything right anymore. They were upset about her and Elliot having sex, the babies, what would they say when they found out that they were living together?
"I don't deserve this." Unless maybe she did? Maybe she had done something that she should be ashamed of in the past. "Are the babies such a bad thing?" What did she want him to say? Secretly he isn't happy about having children? Hell no!

"Oh, Raine." He said in an almost sad tone. He wrapped her in his arms and just let her cry it out. He knew the approval of her parents was important to her, but he was sure they'd come around eventually.. hopefully. Elliot rested his chin the the top of her head and remained pretty quiet. She didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve having to drop out of Julliard and stop her dreams to become a mother - a young one at that. He wished it had happened later on, but it didn't and there was nothing they could do about it except move forward and do what they had to. Their babies were miracles.
"No, babies aren't bad. Especially ours." He wondered what his parents were doing, cooped up inside that house with their happiness and being stuck with a group full that thought the opposite. It was been every minute of fifteen minutes that had passed since she started crying. They hadn't moved from their spot at the end of the sidewalk. She seemed like she had calmed down somewhat. "What do you say we go inside?" He asked in a soft manner. "We can get some food, talk things over, or we could go upstairs and just have it you and me if that sounds better." It sounded like the better alternative and he honestly wanted to get her inside because he felt it was too cold out for her. "Come on," He said, taking her hand in his and leading the way back to the house.

Raine didn't exactly what to go inside but it really was quite cold outside and she didn't know if it was the smartest thing in the world for her to be out there like that when she was pregnant. "I just wish that they understood that this isn't exactly what I planned for my life." She was going to elaborate on that as they walked into the house but she didn't get the chance before Landon punched Elliot right in the nose before walking away like nothing.
"Oh my God!" This had gotten to the point of physical violence? Really? She couldn't believe this! It was certainly not something that she was interested in seeing continue! How could he punch Elliot? All that he had done was get her pregnant! "Baby... are you okay?" She didn't want to stay and face her parents and his but she knew running away was childish so she stuck around for his answer. "Baby.... I wanna go upstairs... I don't wanna deal with all of this on Christmas Eve!"

He had a smile on his face, "Everything's going to be okay, I promise." He hugged Raine around the waist before the pair headed inside. Elliot hadn't even been inside the door for five seconds and he found himself on the floor with a bloody nose. What the fuck just happened? The punch Landon had delivered had knocked it from his feet and made his vision slightly blurry. That kid could pack a punch, literally.
"Fucking shit," Elliot mumbled under his breath as he quickly brought his hands to his throbbing face. Had Landon seriously just pocked him like that? Guess it ran in the family.. well at least for James and Landon. His eyes were still pinched shut as Raine was talking to him. "Yeah, sure. I'll meet you up there." He grunted out as he stood up. There wasn't anyone else except for Landon who was walking away like nothing had just happened and Raine.
He headed up the stairs and into Raine's bedroom and went straight for the bathroom. He grabbed a wash cloth and dampened half of it to wash away the blood. It didn't look or feel like his nose was broken, but it still hurt. "Fuck." He muttered again.

Raine didn't immediately follow Elliot upstairs because she actually had something that she needed to say to her family. She had never done this before, she was always so meek and she just let whatever annoying things that they did slide because it wasn't worth upsetting them and well nothing major had ever actually happened but this was unacceptable! She couldn't just pretend that it was okay for them to punch Elliot and get so angry over her pregnancy. "You know what? You guys are assholes." She felt guilty for cursing in front of his parents but sometimes, it needs to happen.
"You all should be ashamed of yourselves for how you've been treating Elliot and I today! I am pregnant not dying and this is something that should be celebrated and if you guys can't accept that Elliot and I are having children and sex then screw all of you. We're not married but we have sex because it feels good and we do it often. Hell, we fucked upstairs and this morning before we came over." She glared at her parents and her brothers (aside from James) and shook her head, "If you guys can't muster up some excitement for my pregnancy then none of you are allowed to meet the babies because Elliot and I are having children so we don't need you guys. We have a new family now, just he and I and our babies. We'll be back down here in twenty or so minutes unless we decide that we want to have some crazy animal sex upstairs and I expect each of you to be welcoming and polite or we're leaving and never coming back and Landon, you better apologize to Elliot unless you want you know who hearing about how you assaulted my boyfriend. Well anyway! I have a sexy as hell boyfriend upstairs who I have to make feel better, I think I might let him fuck my dirty little mouth."
She sort of forgot that his parents were there.... Yeah.
She rushed back up the stairs and into her bedroom then her bathroom when she didn't see him on the bed crying. "Oh baby... Want me to make it all better?" She raised a brow and got on her knees in front of him, playing with the zipper to his pants a little. "I could do... this for you." She just wanted to help make him forget the fact that her brother was a douche.

Elliot could hear Raine's voice from all the way up here. She must have been telling them all off with the tone that she had. He couldn't help but feel proud for her sticking up for herself and somewhat him too. His parents wouldn't be offended or anything if she cursed, they had sailor's mouth too. The only reason Elliot had a fairly clean mouth was by choice.
He didn't hear his girlfriend anymore, but heard the door open and then saw her as she entered the bathroom. What the hell? Was she really asking him this right now? Any other time, Elliot probably would have said yes, but he wasn't even remotely close to being in the mood at the moment. He dried his blood-free face and looked down to her."Raine," He said, smiling and pulling her up. "...no." He chuckled for a moment, and then kissed her lips before heading to the room. He figured now was a good a time as any to rearrange the furniture. He moved the night stand out of the way and pushed the two beds together. Why did she even have two beds to begin with? He hadn't ever understood that. When it was done, he laid down with a deep sigh. Today was not going as planned.

Raine raised a brow, why was he possibly refusing oral sex? Wasn't oral sex good for men? She couldn't believe that he had said no though, it was probably because his nose hurt.. She smiled weakly when he pushed the beds together. She laid down next to him on the bed and started stroking his arm gently. "I love you... Thanks for being so awesome about this whole thing with my parents and my brothers and your parents." She offered him a weak smile before kissing him on the cheek then the neck... No.
She wasn't going to go that way with this. "I kind of thought that we would tell them and my mom would give us hot chocolate and tell us how happy that she was for us. I mean, she was so happy when IU was pregnant with Dallas's baby and now it's like she wants us to just go get an abortion." She obviously wasn't going to do that even if it meant her parents being upset with her.
She let out a small sigh and nuzzled her head into his neck and snuggled as close as she possibly could to his body. She didn't think that they did this enough, just snuggling up together without it actually having to go anywhere. "So, we have a little bit up here so we can either have crazy animal sex or just lay here and relax. It's up to you, Mr. Big Cock."
What did she just call him?

Elliot let out a content sigh and looked at Raine. She looked happier now that she had said whatever she had downstairs. "I love you too, my beautiful empress penguin." He said as he gently stroked her hair. His little crack of a smile went away when she brought up the miscarriage and how drastically her parents had changed their perspectives on pregnancy. It didn't make anymore sense to him than it did to her.
I mean, they had been together for nearly seven years and were almost perfect. Sure they weren't married, but he had planned his proposal long before they knew she was pregnant. He would have asked by now, but he had never found that right moment.
"Mm.. crazy animal sex. That's what we're calling it now?" He laughed at himself and at the name she had just bestowed upon him. After all the shit that had just happened, he was in no mood for sex or anything related to it. "I feel like relaxing right now. I have such a bad headache." Which he did, that was no lie. And it didn't happen until Landon has hit him. "Raine?" He asked after a short pause. He tried to think of how to word his next question. "Are.. are you happy?" He started and paused before continuing. "I mean, with the babies and us and.. well. everything."

Raine raised a brow, why did he ask her if she was happy? Did she not look happy? Was she not radiating joy? In a way, she was happy about this whole thing and she was definitely excited to be a mother but she was twenty-one and she was pregnant! She was going to marry Elliot Gates and have two beautiful daughters and maybe she'd get a dead-end teaching job at a ballet school because if you can't do something professionally than you should always just give up and teach a class on it, right? Right! This is what her parents had always expected to happen, too because they both knew that her dreams would somehow end up failing. They didn't mean it in the rude way, it was just that they'd had children young and given up their dreams for love and they wanted their daughter to know that it was okay to be the typical woman who just raised a family and kept her husband happy.
She smiled weakly at him and nodded slowly, "I'm so happy to be having your babies, Elliot Sawyer Gates." She sounded like she was being sincere and that was all that mattered. Why would he need to or even want to know what was going on in her head right now? It wasn't like she was going to leave Elliot with their daughters so she could go be a ballerina! She was accepting the fact that her life wasn't going to turn out the way that she expected and she was surprisingly okay with that. "I love you and I am so excited to have a family and raise it in your apartment." His apartment? Did she just call it his apartment? But it was his apartment! She was giving up every ounce of independence that she had. Her apartment, her hobbies, her freedom, smoking! Booze!
She moved over so she was straddling his waist and she started sucking on his neck and biting his skin, not enough to leave a mark but enough that it would sting. "I want you." What was she doing? Grinding him to distract from a conversation that she desperately didn't want to have? Yeah, that was a good plan. "No... No, Elliot, I need you." She just didn't want to talk about this anymore.
