Redhoods daughter

Moving on doesn't mean forgetting what you once had

It had been a few weeks since they brought baby Rhea home, everyone had literally been walking on eggshells around her scared she might break. They were slowly accepting the fact that their family of heroes would have a weaker member but that didn't mean she couldn't be as strong as them at least not physically.

Lian on the other hand had been taking time to herself trying to sort out the most complicated thing in the world in her opinion, in other words her emotions.

She knew she was happy, and loved but she also felt guilty which just out ruled everything else she felt. To top it off she found out that she was pregnant a few days ago and it has took everything inside her to not tell anyone especially aria. Not that she was trying to hide it from her, she just didn't know how to feel about it herself.

Lian continued pacing around her new place, Damian set her up nicely in an apartment a couple doors down from theirs.

"The best thing to do is just tell them and rip the bandaid off" she told herself and perked up "and then they can tell Jon so I don't have to!" She cheered "I'm so smart" she smiled goofily at herself.

She brought a hand to her face "I'm not getting enough coffee in me" groaning she went to her front door not bothering to change out of her pajamas walking into Damian and arias apartment to have breakfast.

"Hey" aria smiled at her as she continued cooking some eggs and bacon. "Morning" she mumbled back walking to the fridge to get the orange juice.

She started to set the table, as aria put more eggs in the frying pan. "Morning" Damian spoke walking in dressed in a dark suit minus the jacket holding Rhea close to his chest.

"Morning" aria smiled pulling Damian down by his tie for a kiss, giving a another on her daughters forehead.

Lian sighed to herself, is this what it would be like if she was with Jon.

"I'm pregnant!" She blurt out before she even got a chance to think. Aria dropped the spatula and Damian almost dropped the baby had it not been for his quick reflexes.

With wide eyes both their heads snapped towards lian who quickly covered her mouth. "What?" Aria asked in disbelief, she began stuttering before hearing a sizzling and rushed to turn off the stove.

"What? How? When?" She began questioning her cousin, looking towards her husband who looked just as shocked and in deep thought "it's Jon's isn't it?" He spoke quietly to which lian slowly nodded.

"Oh my gosh! This is great!" Aria laughed running to hug her but pulled back when she saw the look on Lians face "isn't it?" She shared a look with Damian who sat on the other side of lian.

"You haven't told him have you?" Damian asked her knowingly. All she did was shake her head not saying a word.

"Honey say something, what's wrong?" Aria asked her rubbing a hand up her back. That was all it took for tears to brim in her eyes.

"I don't know what I'm doing! I don't know what to do now!" She was on the verge of having a meltdown.

"Come sit" Damian guided her to sit on the couch and aria put a plate of bacon and eggs in front of her.

"So how do you feel?" Damian began and lian quickly sat up "this is not some therapy session okay! I don't do feelings, I don't know how to feel and quick question do you have a measuring cup?" She quickly blurted out "uh yeah we do it's in the cabinet under the sink" Aria told her.

"Great" lian mumbled getting up to get it, "why do you need it?" Aria looked at her skeptical, "I need coffee in me, I can't deal with shit first thing in the morning" lian grumbled.
