"Don't worry 'bout it," Michi said gently as she squeezed Hunter back. "If it weren't for the little buddy I woulda been out there with ya," she said, resting her head against Hunter's shoulder.

"She gonna be alright ya think?" she had been concerned about Mack, she had never seen her like that. "I can tell Sato that he'll upset the baby is his auntie is in trouble," she grinned.

"I know babe," she smiled, kissing her forehead once more before pulling back to look closely at her girlfriend. "We got it under control. Ser's pretty strong when she wants to be, helped me hoist her up like a champ," she added, shaking her head a bit.

When Michi asked if Mack would be okay, Hunter tried not to betray any worries she was feeling, just shaking her head harder. "I guess, I mean.. y'know, she's been weird. I think she's jus' not used to gettin' what she wants," she sighed. There was more to it than that, and she knew Michi knew it. Now they all knew it, but Mack probably wished the whole school didn't now know. Or she would tomorrow. "She loves her, I guess. That's what she says, so I guess that must be it.. I dunno, you know she ain't into lovin' people."

Sighing a bit, Hunter glanced around the crowd, slightly curious to see if Tatum was even still there. "This kinda bullshit is.. kinda why."

"I know," she said quietly. "We got her back though, she'll recover. We're gonna help her get through this." It was the only reassurance she had.

"We're all kind of a mess this year aint we?" she grinned. "Wouldn't have it any other way though."

"Yeah," Hunter sighed lightly, nodding her head. "Other fish'n the sea and all that.. gay fish, real ones!" she suggested, laughing a bit. "We're messes, but at least we're all a bunch of hot messes?"

Grinning back, she squeezed Michi again. "I love you," she murmured, cracking a nervous little smile. It still felt kind of foreign to say, just drop it like that, but she meant it. She would never admit how glad she was that she wasn't in Mack's situation, that she had someone who truly loved her back and wanted her, didn't mess with her head.

Michi snorted in laughed. "A ton of gay fish, a vartiable smorgesborg," she grinned.

Michi snuck a kiss when Hunter told her she loved her. It was nice to be with someone who genuinely cared for and loved her. She couldn't imagine anyone else standing by her the way Hunter had when the shit hit the fan. "I love you to Hunter," she said quietly, privately.

Sighing rather contently, Hunter leaned her chin briefly on the younger girl's head. "Good," she said simply, smiling some. She hated how guilty she felt about it, she and Mack had always been the same, on the same page, the same level, ever since they were kids. Feelings were something to be feared, but love had worked out for Hunter and now Mack was stuck behind. It wouldn't stop nagging at her how much it bothered her, bothered her to see how much it hurt the shorter blonde.

"Wanna dance?" she asked, smiling wider and trying to focus on just having fun. They had helped plan this whole night, it was only fair that they got to enjoy it.

"Hell yeah!" she said brightly. "I don't know how many more dances you'll get outta me 'fore the little bump gets to be a big one," she said quietly. She hadn't wanted to tell anyone yet, in fact it was still only between them and few select friends, but she knew that wouldn't last long.

"Lead the way my King," she teased.

"Hey, I'll dance with ya even if I gotta stand a foot away," she joked, sticking her tongue out at her. Taking the younger girl's hand gently, she led her out onto the dance floor, her arms circling her once they joined the crowd.

"Ya sure look some beautiful tonight, Princess," she informed Michi quietly, leaning in a bit.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Michi laughed, a warm blush spreading across her cheeks. She followed Hunter onto the dance floor, resting her head against the taller girl's shoulder. She sighed contentedly as they swayed together. "Gee, thanks, I had to go out and get this dress last minute cause the one I bought in September don't fit as good as it used to," she flushed. "Monkey woulda been makin' his or her first public appearance," she laughed lightly.

"You're lookin' exceptionally gorgeous my liege," she poked Hunter's side playfully. "I never thought my girlfriend would become a King."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"Couldn't be havin' that," Hunter chuckled, shaking her head as they swayed along the floor. "Monkey is our li'l secret for a li'l bit longer," she added, leaning her forehead gently against Michi's. She knew that their plan was to act natural for as long as they could, but their time was probably running short.

"You sure you didn't pick me for my royal lineage?" Hunter joked back, squirming a bit as she was poked. "You just wanted to marry into a royal family."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Michi felt comfort in that as Hunter leaned her forehead against her own. She smiled warmly, closing her eyes. "Jus' for mommy and daddy," she teased gently.

Michi snorted. "Marry into the royal family huh?" she teased. "I would look pretty fierce in the crown jewels," she laughed.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Hunter laughed softly, surprising herself as she felt her cheeks flushing just a tiny bit. "You bet," she agreed.

She laughed louder at Michi's next words, pulling back a bit to give the younger girl a sly look. "Baby, ya know y'all didn't have to go out with me to get to my crown jewels."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Michi laughed brightly. "Oh I know baby but then I wouldn't get the honor of calling you my lady," she reached up and kissed the tip of her nose.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Hunter scrunched her face up playfully as Michi kissed her nose, grinning broadly at her when the younger girl pulled back. "Well, I do gotta say.. I am quite a prize to have on your arm, ain't I? Good lookin', real dashing.. y'know, the whole package."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"And a damn cute package too," Michi teased, smiling brightly. "I'm a lucky broad Hunter Sommer."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"The luckiest," Hunter informed her with a grin, before giving her a little squeeze. "Except 'fore me, of course.. I'm luckier'n you, got the hottest girl in school who's gonna be the hottest mom in school. You're like, a pre-MILF. Or a MILF in training."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Michi snorted. "MILF in training," she shook her head. "I gotta work on owning the Monkey bump but after that I'll be unstoppable. If only I could work my heels in my maternity wear," she giggled. "My fuckin' feet are killin me by the end of the day."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Hunter grinned, lifting a hand and gently pinching her girlfriend's cheek. "Don't worry babe," she replied, already grinning, "I'll wear enough heels for the both of us. Maybe now I'll get ta borrow some of yer cute pairs.. since ya won't be usin' em."
