THE UNKNOWN

[The Condescension]

Vera didn't seem too worried about Pudding eating or attacking the little kitten, having more trust in the dog than Clarissa did. "I like animals in general so the two of them are adorable to me. Pudding is just really heavy." She chuckled softly, holding the bottle tilted a bit so the kitten could drink easier.

 

[diwa]

'Pudding is actually my first pet,' Clarissa said quietly. Sage reach out for the dog's ears, not exactly petting it but thank the gods she wasn't pulling them hard to annoy the lion. 'What can I say, I like big things.' She laughed and looked at the other girl and winked, 'If you know what I mean.'

 

[The Condescension]

Vera snorted at the girls comment and giggled quietly. "I'm guessing Adrian is well built downstairs." She said rolling her eyes. "Apollo is, he's basically whay you would expect." The kitten eventually stopped drinking from the bottle and Vera sat it down before laying down on the couch, sitting the kitten on her chest watching it meow and squirm around. "I still need to name this little thing."

 

[diwa]

'I am not a kiss and tell, how dare you.' Clarissa feigned being shock and surprise, but end up giggling like a little girl. She only shrugged at her when the other girl said something about Apollo. Because one she can't remember any of him, two, she'd rather choke on her own tongue than bringing it up. Hell, maybe Apollo already told Vera but Clarissa definitely doesn't want it to be brought up.


'Name?' Clarissa chimed, Vera was looking at the kitten on her chest, 'Since Apollo's name is all greek, why not do the greek thing too. You can name the black thing, Nyx for night and the white....' Suddenly she grimaced, 'Oh no, don't name it like that because Hemera was for the day. I'm sure you can figure something out.'

 

[The Condescension]

Vera laughed lightly, staring at the little kitten on her chest who was starting to fall asleep once it found a comfortable spot. "I'll think of something I'm sure. Hell even Salt and Pepper would work." She joked lightly, letting out another laugh.

 

[diwa]

'Hey, that could work.' Clarissa beamed at her, 'yeah, i'm pretty sure Apollo is down with such girly things.' She giggled. Sage look up at her, and she planted a tiny kiss on her forehead. The little girl satisfies herself by playing with a piece of her hair.

 

[The Condescension]

Vera sat up, holding the kitten and went back upstairs putting the kitten back in her room with Apollo so Pudding wouldn't get to it, shutting the door behind her. She went back downstairs and sat on the floor by Pudding, hugging the giant bear of a dog. "I'll decide later on what I wanna them." She chuckled softly, just snuggling with the dog.

 

[diwa]

'Salt and Pepper is a cute name.' Clarissa pouted at her when she came back. 'The lion was sniffing Vera like how a K9 sniff a bomb. 'We're into food and condiments out here.' She laughed. 'So, what's the plan? You and Apollo huh?'

 

[The Condescension]

Vera chuckled softly at Pudding and continued to snuggle with the lion, not caring if she was being sniffed to death. "Food is good." She said, sitting down cross-legged and used Puddings side as a head rest. "With me and Apollo, I'll probably just give it some time. He can be bipolar sometimes but last night he seemed a lot better about the whole 'I'm going to be a father' thing compared to what he is normally like. As long as he doesn't start getting abusive again, I'm fine with us doing whatever we decide on."

 

[diwa]

'Yeah, you're probably right.' Clarissa nodded, 'Maybe it's just a phase, though hopefully not.' She said quietly while adjusting Sage so that she was back on laying on her lap. The little girl cooed as she sway her legs. 'Are you even talking about the future of your would be family? Or are you just deciding things out of whim? Because that's not good. Being spontaneous is good, yes, but not on this, you're gonna wanna decided about what are you going to do with your kids.What if he ask you to live with him? Would you?'

 

[The Condescension]

"Right now, no I wouldn't. Maybe in a couple months when I know he's calmed down and accepted that everything." She said, shrugging slightly and paused for a moment. "Maybe actually, I might move in with him but he started being a dick again then I'd come back here or get Nicolas to fix it. I'd have to think about it."

 

[diwa]

'That's not actually a bad plan,' Clarissa shrug. 'Yeah, testing the waters. I like it. Seeing that he cared for those kitties you guys have than you. Sorry.' She pouted at the girl, she knew she didn't have to tell her that because anyone that knows the two can easily spot it. 'But he's trying, shopping and all, right? I know it wasn't enough. But just like I said to him, baby steps.'

 

[The Condescension]

"If it was up to me and Diamond could just ride off into the sunset together." She joked, laughing quietly. She stood up and left Pudding alone to go sit down on the couch. "I'm sure me and Apollo will work something out, eventually. For right now I'm not too worried about it."

 

[diwa]

'You know what,' Clarissa sighed and look softly at her, 'Whatever makes you happy, if that's being with Diamond, the clingy drunk, so be it. It's your life afterall. I'm sure you and Apollo can make an arrangement about the kids. Though I do hope you won't resolve in separating them and do the whole parent trap thing.'

 

[The Condescension]

"Diamond isn't abusive and I've known her longer. She didn't abandon me when I got pregnant the first time or this time. I don't see why I'd be stupid enough to leave her for Apollo who's abusive and Apollo, with some psycho brother you're so hell bent on keeping me away from. Diamond being a clingy drunk is far better than Apollo any day. I'm sure Apollo won't stay abusive but still, Diamond is just better to me in general. It makes sense why I'd stay with her. If I really wanted too I'm sure I could just run away with her and we could raise these kids together like they were her own." She paused for a minute, laughing at the thought. "Though that won't happen because I can Nicolas hunting us down, or you."

 

[diwa]

'Oh gods, you two should get a room. Sappy Vera,' Clarissa said lightly, 'Okay kidding aside, you two are good for each other. You know how to control her, and she knows how to tolerate. . . ' she chuckled for a bit, Clarissa stroke the little girl's chubby cheeks. 'No, she knows how to take care of you. And if what you said about her not abandoning you is true, then why not go be with her? Just because Apollo is the father it doesn't mean that you should stick with him. I was just saying that when Salt and Pepper in your tummy comes out, no matter how dickwad Apollo may be, they ought to know who their dad is. Then you can ride a unicorn with the drunk girl upstairs.' Clarissa smiled earnestly at her, 'Oh, and don't worry. Sage can distract Nicolas for you. Right, little girl?' Sage shrieked as if on cue, kicking her tiny feet in the air as Clarissa held her tiny hands.

 

[The Condescension]

Vera laughed quietly at Sage's squeals. "She most defiantly can," She said, staring at Sage before turning her eyes back to Clarissa. "In all reality, me and Diamond probably won't work out long term. It might've worked out if I hadn't gotten pregnant but now I don't have very much hope. Since I'm no longer going to be working in a club and hopefully getting a job as a nurse soon after I have these two, I can provide for me and her easy. I'd probably ask her to give up being a stripper and she probably won't do that, so that would be why we would break up. I only tolerate her slutty around and doing drugs is because I know she has no other option. But if that changes and she doesn't give it up, then I don't want to be apart of it. Believe it or not I actually want a normal relationship with her, not an open one."

 

[diwa]

'I may not know how stripper and pimp relationship works, but base from the movies that i've seen, you guys have deeper relationship than that.' Clarissa said, looking at her, 'Have you asked her that? About quitting being a stripper?' Clarissa wondered, 'Don't rely on freakin' probability. If not, I can say that Diamond will do anything for you, ask Adrian, even he can see that she is better for you and she'll do anything for you, you're like a spoiled princess when it comes to her.'

 

[The Condescension]

"No I haven't talked to her about it, I haven't found the time to." She said, frowning slightly. "Our relationship first started out like that, it just grew from there. She stopped pimping and we just kind of became friends/lovers. Our relationship is iffy to begin with considering we were both strippers and we know we cheat each other all the time. I don't like it and I'm sure she doesn't either."

 

[diwa]

'It's not cheating if that's your line of work, is it?' She asked the other girl, 'You have to sleep with other dudes . . . . and yes, girls if there are some clients in order to earn money. Listen, ask her later then.' Clarissa said, 'if she says yes, you could be into some exclusive relationship or something, then that's great. If she says no, then you can think of different alternatives without her. How bad could it be, right?'

 

[The Condescension]

"I don't know, part of me wants things to work out with Apollo slightly just because it'd be good for the little shits in my stomach. Otherwise I don't have any desires with him, so I don't know, I need to think about things and see what Apollo is like. If he's changed then I'm fine with working something out but if not me and Diamond will work out."

 

[diwa]

'Of course, that'a natural thing.' Clarissa shrug, 'trying to make things work with the father of your kids just so they could have a perfect sense of family. But if the father is a douche, then you don't even have to do it. They can know that they're dad is him but you don't have to stay with him to be able to do that. Thinking and stress is bad for pregnant women, but you have to sort this thing out.' Said Clarissa, pausing for a moment, 'Or, you can wait until you have those rugrats out. It'll be easier. I hope.' She added with a tiny smile on her lips.

 

[The Condescension]

She nodded, glancing down at her stomach for a moment before turning her attention back to Clarissa. "Mhm, I know. I'm sure it'll get better with time with Apollo hopefully, that's at least the way I see it going. Plus now I know if I want him to like me I jusr need to get him a cat." She joked, laughing quietly.

 

[diwa]

'Yeah,' Clarissa laughed at her, 'Or, threaten his cats, you'll bend him to your will.' She was nodding enthusiastically at Vera, a playful grin was on her face. 'Though, I think i'm the only one who'll actually do that. Hell, I feel like I won't feel bad doing it.'

 

[The Condescension]

"Someone's obviously a dog person." She laughed quietly, laying down on the couch and used the arm rest as a pillow, pulling the spare blanket over her. "I'm gonna take a nap, goodnight mama Clarissa." She said, laughing again before closing her eyes starting to go to sleep.
