WHEN THE RAIN STOPS- Scrutinized [TANNER x LUNA] 2 IN 1

SIDE STORY PT. THIRTY SIX

|TANNER|

"THERE YOU ARE YOU SO-." "What did you say?.." I asked Val. She stopped yelling and froze for a second to comprehend how much in shock I was.
"Did you say You're pregnant?..." She nodded and held her slightly bumped stomach. At that moment I had forgotten all about my love life and felt only attraction to Val. For some reason the thought of her having my children made me fall head over heels.
"Are you m-." I stopped her worrying with a hug. At this point I was almost about to cry. I mean I was holding the women who was going to have my child. The dopamine in my brain was on cloud nine and I held her with all my might. I looked over to find Lydia talking Adam in a secretive way. Which made Adam clear his throat and tell Val that I would show her, her room. He then told me that we would meet later on in the day.

~Time Skip~

While we waited the others, like the doll maker, Lucas and The Breather, decided to stay. Once Adam got back from wherever, we were guided to his conference room. It was wood and had book shelves on both walls. Then a large window behind his desk and a seating area near a fire. We all sat on the couches when he sighed "Tanner." I perked up and gave him my full attention. "Yes?" "Have you forgotten about something?" I tried recalling but came empty handed. "Sorry, you might need to remind me." I giggled out. The others looked at each other in a concerned way. That's when Lydia came stomping inside the room. Clearly infuriated at something. "WHO DID IT?!" She asked all of us. "Who did what Lydia?" The doll maker asked. "WHO ALMOST DROWNED LUNA IN HER TUB?!" My eyes widened when I finally got out of my blissful ignorance. We all gave each other a look. I didn't realize I still had Luna to take care of but at the same time Family does comes first. She will still live here with all of us, it's just that my family will be my top priority now. "WELL?!" "It seems that non of us did it. Have you asked the-." "There is no way I'm going to talk to those freaks." Lydia told Adam while walking over to his arm rest to sit. "Alright, I'll talk to them later. But for now?" "Luna's alright. I got her out in time before may damage was done."

"What is she doing now?" The Breather asked. "She's asleep in her room." Lydia replied while blowing a strand of hair from her face. "Ok! Back to the main question... Tanner what are you going to do with Luna?" I snapped back to the conversation and sighed "I'll take care of her til our welcome is over. From there I will drop her off at her house and leave her-." "WHAT?!" Lydia asked. "HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT HER TO STAY BY HERSELF WHEN COLE IS STILL OUT THERE AND LOOKING FOR HER." She stood up and yanked on my shirt. "THATS GOTTA BE THE MOST SELFISH THING YOUVE DONE." I held her hands over my shirt and slightly put pressure on them. "My apologies if my morals get in the way of you priorities Lydia. But my family are the people who come first." I tugged a little more on my fixed smile before cockingly asking "Is that Selfish?" She was shocked and at a lost for words. I mean what could she say? She couldn't say anything because I was being honest with what had to be done. She let go and began to walk out. "Alright. Fine. If anyone needs me I'll be with Luna."

|LUNA|

When I came to, I found arms around me and a scent of perfume in the air. Judging by the smell I could tell it was Lydia. "Lydia?" She groaned at her tiredness and I noticed it was night. My stomach growled and I wanted a snack. At least to keep me satisfied enough to sleep. "Hey Lydia." I whispered "I'll be back.. I'm gonna get a snack. Want anything?" "Just a water doll." She said in a cute and tired voice. "Ok." I patted her head before removing the covers on my side. I looked down to noticed she changed me.. to a frilly old style night gown. I really did look like a doll huh? I shrugged it off and walked barefoot to the downstairs kitchen. On my way there I heard a muffled woman speaking to someone on the other end. I didn't mean to ease drop but it was loud. "Ok, but you still haven't told me what you're gonna do-." I walked past the door as quickly as I could as I didn't want the people to know I was awake since i didn't know if there were any rules in the house. I got far enough to to where I don't hear them anymore and I took that opportunity to walk down the stairs. There on I made a quick little sandwich and grabbed a water. Carful to wash the dishes in a quiet manner. There were more than usual but I didn't mind. How could I when they had allowed me to stay with them.
