"Ma!" Noonie shouted, softly knocking on her Grandma's old house door. Before she passed she signed away the house to Ryan and the one she kept all the way across town was kept in Noonie's name when she got old enough to inherent it.
"I'm coming I'm coming" Ryan smiled wiping her hands clean with a napkin. She'd been baking goods all day so Derek had something to look forward to when he came home which wasn't for another week or two.
"Hey baby!" She exclaimed rocking her daughter into a tight hug. "Oh it seems like I haven't seen you in forever you hungry? I got some Macaroni and hot dogs sitting on the stove I know you like those"
Walking into the old house, Noonie closed the door behind her moving her hair out of her face. "I'm fine Mommy just came to check up on you"
"Been staying at Jaelah's for the past few days? I hope her Dad isn't too mad" Ryan sighed moving her daughter's hair off of her shoulders. "What's this?"
Noonie looked down at her chest confused on what she was talking about.
"What?"
"Cleo!" Her mother frowned rubbing the red spot on her neck. "A hickey? You never told me you were having sex"
Noonie blushed covering her neck back up with her hair. "I'm not stop"
"Oh my gosh my little girl" Ryan fake cried pulling Noonie into the kitchen. She fixed them both a plate sitting them on the dining room table. Since she was away so much at work Ryan missed her daughter and wanted them to have a day to just catch up.
"Sit, I want to hear all about this young man who's leaving marks all on my innocent daughter" She spoke keeping an eager smile on her face.
Noonie sighed picking at her macaroni, she didn't know how to explain Kaid to her Mom, they weren't together but then again they weren't apart and the fact that they were starting over put their relationship in a whole different perspective.
"He's... somebody ma but I'm not really ready to talk to you about him unless I know for sure if we'll stick" She spoke telling the half truth.
Ryan hummed swallowing the small bit of food she had in her mouth.
"You're not ready to talk to me about him but you're ready to open your legs for him? I didn't raise you like that" She frowned.
This was the main reason Noonie hated having conversations like this with Ryan, she always turned into a life lesson. She never took the time to actually listen.
"I'm not Mommy we aren't even having sex yet" She frowned beginning to eat her food.
"Hmph. I just hope you all are being safe" Ryan mumbled shaking her head.
They continued to eat in silence, picking at their food which upset Ryan. She wasn't trying to get under her daughter's skin, she just wanted to keep her out of trouble.
"So I have some news.. I'm not really sure how you'll feel about it given the time" Ryan rambled scooting her plate away from her.
Noonie glanced up at her Mother still finishing off her macaroni not thinking anything she could say would be worse than her having an affair with a minor.
Reaching down in her bag, Ryan slapped a black and white ultrasound on the wooden table causing Noonie to choke.
"Me and Derek have decided to have a baby... I'm pregnant!' She beamed. "Aren't you excited?"
