Day Away from Hell (hunt)

[ADRIANA NICOLE REED]

Ok. So maybe coming to the mall wasn't the ideal place to go on your one free day from the hospital, but for Adri, it was the only place she wanted to go. Before she was in her wreck which landed her into the hospital, she had always been one to go around and just look. She wasn't the biggest buyer, but she was into looking, but now... She had her little boy to think about. Her and Hunter would be parents soon, and they were far from ready for that.

Neither of them knew were they were goin to raise the kid, and they had nearly no supplies for it. Not that it really mattered, seeing as she was sure her parents would buy them whatever they needed, but didn't that take the fun out of being a parent? Even if you are sixteen? Adri had always looked forward to shopping for her kid. Going through all the little stores and picking out cute little tings for him or her... And now with the sex of their kid determined, she was sure that the two of them were only going to have the best for their little man.

Walking with her left hand intertwined with Hunt's right, she leaned against him a bit as her back started to ache, but she was not going to complain, no. She was pretty damn sure if she started complaining about things like pain, or thinking she was in pain that the boy would probably make her go right back to the hosptial, and she did not want that. Not at all. Defiantly seeing as they haven't even had time to stop by and well buy anything. That nor have they stopped at her favorite little in-mall food place to pick up anything to eat. So... complaining was out of the question. instead, adri just shook her head and looked up at him for a moment. "you know.. we can go do somethin else if you want... Go visit your friends or something." She said softly before passing a store and just making one of those little girly noises.

Breaking her hand from his and holding her seven month tummy with her hands as she walked in and picked up a little jersey that had been locally made for their football team, which happened to be just in new born size. The smile on her face grew and she just held it up. "... Wouldn't he just look great in this? Even if your not playing next year... still.. isn't it just adorable?!" The excitement in her voice was evident.. Shopping now for this baby was going to be one of her favorite things to do, she could see it yet.

Hunter generally didn't like shopping too much, but he was used to being dragged to the mall with Adri by now so he dealt with it. Besides they weren't looking for her, they were looking for their bouncing baby boy who would hopefully have an easy delivery and survive. Hunter didn't want to think about the alternative, their kid had to live, it would break their hearts if he didn't. Hunter would never forgive himself if the kid died, if it wasn't for his stupidity Adri wouldn't have to ask hospital staff to go out.

It was a boy so there was no dress shopping involved with Hunter was relieved about, although a little girl he would have loved all the same. He had to accompany Adri when shopping for their son in order to ensure that she wasn't going to buy anything that would scar the kid for life. He was only looking out for his son's best interests and to save his embarrassment.

Hunter smiled when he felt her weight on his side, not all of it, only a portion. He leaned his head closer to where Adri's was, squeezing her hand lightly. Hopefully she wasn't in pain, severe pain was impossible to hide so he guessed not. He didn't want anymore complication. He felt slightly uncomfortable with all the walking around in fear that it might overwork Adriana.

A grin formed on his face as he looked at the pint sized football jersey, in awe of how small it was. "He'll look great. A chip off the old block just like his dad." It was great to see her so happy, cheerful, her normal self. He knew she was miserable cooped up in her hospital room, she needed activity, action. He didn't blame her. He nudged her playfully. "You're gonna be in here all day aren't you? Should I get a truck?" Hunter laughed with image of having to drag Adri by both her arms out of the mall. She was funny that way, adorable. He didn't mind spending the day in here.

"Baby, I can see them anytime I want and they can always come visit you, but I just want us to have some time alone together." He reached out for her hand.

tag! Adri!

notes - hah it's fine all riiightt I'll start from now on. =P excuse the cheesiness

[ADRIANA NICOLE REED]

this was nice... very nice. just to think that in a few short months, two to be exact, she would be holding her son.. and possibly walking around doing this same exact thing, minus the whale of a stomach she has acquired, but as she held up the little jersey and ran her fingers over it, she just couldn't be more excited. this was what her life came to. no more purity ring... no more innocent preachers daughter, but she was her... she was the soon to be mother, with the amazing boyfriend, and everything was going to be alright, and she knew it. she was so sure of it, and she wasn't going to let anyone tell her any differently.

yes she knew that she was having complications with the pregnancy, but that wasn't holding her down. no she would he fine and dandy if she got to go out more and do stuff like they were doing today. it was what she needed. she needed her old life back, and slowly but surely she was sure she was going to get it back. no matter if she had to stay in this hospital for a very long time. She knew that once she did get out, that things would happen to just fall back into place.

with her hand on her tummy and the other holding the little shirt up, she couldn't help but to smile as he kicked a few times against her skin. The thuds were suttle, but they were there and that could only be a good sign right? Well adri still hoped so. "I think he likes it." She said with a grin as she turned to fae him again. "You might just need too.. Because if this store is filled with things like this then i might just want to stay forever."She laughed as she just put the shirt over her forearm and galdly took his hand.

THey were starting to come together as a real family. she saw that now. A very young family, but it was all the same. Just a smiling at him she walked forward to another rack and flipped through it occasionally glancing at other things. "I am glad you think like that... Because we have nothing for him... We were supose to do all the shopping and preparation with his room and all last month, but you saw how that went." A frown was present on her face as she spoke. She was excited about planning the room. It was one of the perks she got out of being pregnant, and now it would be left down to him... And lord knows what that boy would do to it. "Plus... he has to have something to wear when he gets to go home with us." The smile forming quickly once again as she pecked him othe lips gently.

"Even though... I'll give myself thirty minutes of shopping... Then we can do what you want to do? alright baby..."

[HUNTER RILEY SCOTT]

It scared Hunter that soon their son would be hear, right now that overwhelmed the excitement. This isn't exactly what an 18 year old boy has in mind after all. Maybe a few years after High School, get the college years behind you. Even though Hunter loved Adri the baby sealed the deal no turning back breaking up wasn't an option, not that he had been planning on doing so. Just the no way out option itself was unsettling to him, even if he wanted to he couldn't. He was trapped, backed into a corner.

Before Adri, sure, he had some steady relationships, but most of the time he couldn't commit to one person and just wanted to explore around, screw around, survey his options. Now that wasn't even an option he was 18 and the house was already builyt for him no fun frat boys days for him. Diapers and more diapers. Not that he wouldn't enjoy Adri and his son, his new family, it just... would be different. He'd have no freedom.

"Why wouldn't he?" Hunter asked rhetorically, grinning like an idea, seeing some kids from school he let it fade a little. He didn't want to look like a loser, he had a reputation to maintain. "Well, I don't knowww, usually they keep all the good stuff in the front and hide the crap/stuff that's on sale."

"Things happen." Hunter shrugged, "We've got time babe, don't worry, he'll have everything he'll ever need." Money wasn't an issue he made plenty at the gym, he wouldn't accept his parents' filthy money. It would be interesting, going shopping for the baby by himself he didn't know the first thing about it. Hunter nodded. "That's true, we wouldn't want him to join of those nudist colonies."

"Take your time Ads. no rush. I'm just happy right here. Anywhere you are is fine to me." Then he laughed at how cheesy that sounded god he was sounding lke the guys from those chick flicks. What kind of sap was he becoming?

[ADRIANA NICOLE REED]

Adri had no idea that her boyfriend seemed to be so miserable with the idea that they were going to have a kid. Adri was aware that now that they were going to be parents it was goin to take a lot away from the young couple, but she did not picture herself being miserable. Her parents had always from the beginning of this experience, told her that they would be at her side no matter what. that alone gave her the reassurance that they would b fine. They would stick by her, but never once was there this written consent, or law that said that Hunter was made to stay by her side through all of this.

Yes Ads was overwhelmed with happiness that he was there for her. She loved him. Hell she loved him a lot, but she didn't want him hanging around just because he felt like it was an obligation of his. No, because that just wouldn't work for her. She was no charity case, and she was more than certain that she could do this without him. yes... She would be a lot more unhappy knowing that he left her over a kid, but she didn't want him just being there because he felt like he had to. No... that was not how she was going to be Spending her life. IF she ver found out about his true feelings, she was sure she would kick him out on his ass quicker than the time allowed for him to blink.

shaking her head adri knew that she did not want to think like this. No. Here she was having a genuine moment with him that she would never get back. even if she would have rather been in her mid twenties before she had this moment, she knew she was going to make the most of it. Defiantly if he was having just as good a time as she was. But.. as soon as she looked up and saw a group of his friends, and turned her head to look at him, seeing the once present smile fading at the edges, her own lips formed into a frown and she just looked down. Was... he not having a good time with her? Because since when did he care what his friends thought about when it came to her... Apparently that was one thing that had changed, and what was she suppose to do about it.

Just remaining silent, she walked over past him to a new rack, and flipped through the cltohes and looked at this little onsie that seemed cute enough, and didn't even ask for his opinion as she put it over her arm and walked to another rack. Mood swings... What would she do without these things. Huffing silently she didn't even bother looking over her shoulder at him, grabbing a few more things and walking past him, but stopping and taking his wallet out of his back pocket, and going to the counter where she paid for the clothes, drops the wallet in the bag, and then hands it to him, going back past him and sighing. "You Can go be with your friends now.. You don't have to hang out with your pregnant girlfriend."

[HUNTER RILEY SCOTT]

Hunter loved Adri so he wasn't planning on leaving any time soon or ever unless she wanted him to, which was debatable on whether he'd respect that request. He always had the sneaking suspicion that Ashley, Adri's bestfriend who was a GUY believe it or not, had a thing for Adri and one day she would leave Hunt for Ashley. It was a thought he didn't like to think about, he hated the guy enough already. they used to be friends, but all of the sudden that had changed.

His friends noticed him and stopped, "Hey Hunt! You gonna join us?" One of them asked, nodding to Adri in acknowledgment. If any one of them were to make a degrading comment or negative about her, they would get it from Hunt, bad. Hunter shook his head. "Nah. This is Adri's day out of the hospital, so I'm hanging with her."

"All right. Cool man." One of them nodded and the group passed on by, Hunter hearing one say something about him being whipped. He would deal with that later, put him in his place.

"What?" Hunter asked confused. "No, like I said I can hang with them any time, but this is our special day. You know?" He'd been feeling pretty insecure around peers lately being the guy who knocked up the preacher's daughter, though he had gained respect in the beggining there were rumors flying around that he was abusing her. Hence why Adri was in the hospital. Hunt was determined to find out who started this and knock them out. "Ads come on..." He reached out to touch her hands. "Don't be like this."

He wondered if this came up due to pregnancy hormones, oh the joys, as if regular ones weren't enough. There should be pills to treat this 'disease'. Though Hunter knew better than to ask her this, girls threw a fit if it was mentioned or asked/assumed of them. He didn't want to find himself in deeper trouble than he probably already was. "I don't know what's up with me lately, I just hate all the speculation that's going around, you should hear what they say Ads, actually it's better that you don't."

[ADRIANA NICOLE REED]

this was not what she wanted. No. Adriana got out for one day and here she was... Already stressed out before she even got started. What was with that. How did Hunter seem to be the only one who could stress her out so easily. Yes she loved the man. Hell she loved him with her whole heart, but for some reason he always did this too her. Maybe it was him being over protective. Who knew. But she knew right now she just wanted to punch him in his... most prized possession and then walk away. Thats what she wanted to do. But would she be able to do that. NO. Because then she would be stuck at the hostpital, stressed out and seven months pregnant. that is not what she needed. But as she just walked past him, trying to keep a straight face she didn't know how she was going to do it. She could feel her heart racing, and her back aching, and the last thing she needed was to go into labor... again, but she didn't see herself calming down anytime soon.

Shaking her head she knew she couldn't turn around and talk to him. He was ashamed to be with her. She just knew he was ashamed. Why else would be frown when he saw his friends. Why else would he not want to be seen with her and only hang out with them when she wasn't around. IT was because he didn't want to be with her. She wasn't the skinny... attractive arm candy he had before. No... she was some round... pregnant... seventeen year old blob. thats how he was making her feel. How could he do this too her?! How could her own friend, boyfriend do this to her! She didn't know, but at this moment in time, she knew one thing. She wanted Ashley. She knew he would make her feel better. He would make her feel better if anything was wrong, but he couldnt' be around when Hunter was around. Which was absurd, because she loved both of them. But she felt that Hunter must be insecure or something> But to be honest... She didn't care. She just... wanted away, but that didn't seem like it was going to happen.

Adri could honestly say she was ignoring him. She didn't hear a single thing he said, because she didn't want to hear him. It was as easy as that. Her face was already becoming difficult to hold into a straight possistion. her eyes were already watering and she just didn't want to make a scene in public, but it looked like that was exactly what was going to happen as he reached and took her hand, which only caused her to instnalty snatch it away. "Do NOT touch me!" she said a bit harshly as she wiped her eyes, which was an effect of all the hormones just raging through her right now. "and do NOT make some lame excuse! your just ashamed to be with me! Your jsut ashamed to have some large girlfriend while all your friends are fucking the cheerleaders.. thats it.. I'm SORRY i can't be like them." She sniffled wiping her eyes and shaking her head. "I'm sorry i just seem to be so bad to be around.. Because you know. I can't help how I am. I cant help you knocked me up! Because you knwo what that was both of our faults1 and if you wouldn't have corrupted me I would still be at home... I woudlnt' be pregnant and I wouldnt' be waisting away in that hell hole i am in now!" the tears were present in her eyes as she just backed away from him. The little stomach pains coming back and causing her to walk out of the store and sit down on a little bench... This is what her life has came too.

[HUNTER RILEY SCOTT]

God, what did Adri expect him to be perfectly ok about everything all the time, couldn't he try to maintain his image without seeming like a bigger asshole than what he presented himself as? Apparently not. Apparently he was supposed to parade around, proud beaming marching through the mall like a loony toon. Well that wasn't going to happen he preferred being an asshole rather than a sappy dumbfuck. He'd much rather keep his dignity. It's something most women wouldn't understand, Adri especially. It also didn't help that half of her distress came from hormones. He really didn't want to make her distressed, not only did he not like seeing her this way, but it wasn't good for their baby. Though right now he felt so out of the circle, he didn't feel connected to the kid in this moment, only by DNA.


It wasn't Adri herself that was the problem, not her appearance, it was just the two of them seen together. He felt like they were under a microscope, open to criticism ridicule. Just a sight to be gawked at and he didn't like it, he didn't like anyone staring at Adri for too long, call it possessive or what have you, but it hit a nerve with him. "Adri! That's not it all! I'd never be ashamed of you, you know that." Hunter defended. "Screw the cheerleaders." Perhaps that wasn't the right terminology in this moment.

"Oh so now I corrupted you?" HUnter said rolling her eyes, she was being ridiculous over reacting he hadn't done anything wrong, he hadn't talked her into doing anything she hadn't wanted to do. "Because as I can recall you willingly participated so it's not all my fault." Everyone was probably looking at them, but HUnter really was too preoccupied to noticed. "Adri, wait!" Hunter followed her out, jogging to keep up with her, "C'mon Ads, you're over-reacting. I'm sorry I can't be perfect ok?" She sat down on a bench, and Hunter felt relieved that atleast she would be resting a bit, calming down a little.

[ADRIANA NICOLE REED]

"i never said you had to be perfect!" she said sitting on the bench, using her hand to push herself back up to face him. "I never said you had to be anything but you! But you aren't suppose to make me feel like shit!" it ws clear to tell she was upset. If it wasn't for her tone of voice and her facial expressions it was because of the use of the curse words she kept sending his way. She was not one for them, but when she was angry it seemed to be the only time she had an excuse to... well let herself slip up. "You make me feel so bad! I know i am fat! i know i cant have sex with you when you want it! I know this! but you know the least you could do would be make me feel better about myself! But it doesn't even look like you are going to do that! You know why! because apparently you must not know me... You must not know what I'm feeling! Because right now it feels like shit!" she said a very hurt as she let some of the tears just stream down her face. "I feel like shit..."

This was all true in her opinion. Maybe she was overreacting... Hell if she looked back at this later she would know she was overreacting, but she couldn't help it. Hunter was her weakness. She loved him so.... and when he acted like this it just tore apart of her away from what she use to be... She use to be something he could flaunt around... But now, he seemed to be ashamaed to have her around... This still baffled her. Because she knew all too well that it took two to tango.. Even if the first time wasn't exactly when or what she wanted... After going at it a few more times she knew that she was the one begging him to do it again. She was the one having the urges, but she couldn't let that slip up now... NO, because all she could think about was her mascara streaming down her cheeks as she just looked at him holding her belly and looking away. This was what she had came too..

It didn't feel good. It didn't feel good at all, and don't get her wrong, right now, she just wanted to hug him and make him make this all better.. Like he always done. But how could she do that after making him so mad... After making herself mad? it just didn't seem logical, but that was not what she needed to worry about. She needed to worry about this baby... and how the stress was already causing little pains to shoot across her lower stomach and back... Which wasn't a good sign, but she couldnt' exactly tell him that... Not at this point in time. It would just be pointless in this argument.

[HUNTER RILEY SCOTT]

"/I/ didn't make you feel any way!" Hunter pointed out, "You control your own emotions Adri, everyone does, not somebody else." Like he should be lecturing on anger... but he wasn't the one who blew up first, she started it. As immature as that sounded. Sometimes her tirades of self-pity got old as well as her implications when he hadn't said anything of the sort. He rolled his eyes. "You're not fat, you're pregnant! And I'm not embarrassed to be with you I just hate how some people look at you, at us." How the hell was he supposed to comfort her, when all she was doing was nagging him, insulting him, making a scene in front of... god the mall looked more packed earlier... "Well, Adri it's hard to want to comfort you, when you're getting on my ass for stupid shit!"

Shit she was crying, yet anger still bubbled in his chest and if he were to touch her she'd just protest... again. Hunter hated to see her cry, but he was damned if he comforted her and damned if he didn't, either way he lost. "It was never about the sex Adri." Sure it was hard in the first couple of months not to have it, but he got over that. Oddly, in their relationship it was Adri who seemed to be hornier than him, begging for sex. No doubt it was hot, but damn men did not have as much sexual libido/stamina as women. As much as they wished they had. God, it was a wonder that Adri hasn't caused distress to her body yet, evoked pain, I mean if she was it would be harder to suppress it. Somehow though hardly had a way of doing that at times. That killed him just as much as seeing her suffer... because of him. He started to reach for her, but then pulled back deciding that it wasn't a good idea to provoke her even more.
