How could a person be so dumb but kind of cute at the same time? Fiona wasn't thinking it was a good thing for Zach to be, because all it did was frustrate her, but when she managed to take a breath and break apart his words, there was some semblance of someone who actually knew what was going on. He'd probably get along swimmingly for the rest of his life if he just didn't open his mouth.
"We're not making it out to be horrible," Fiona said, a little miffed by the comment. She could have disowned Brianna like so many other people have, instead of helping her set up appointments and dealing with hormones and cravings. "We're just people who need a plan, you've got to have a plan to survive if you're an O'Hara."
Fiona didn't realize her wording until she'd said it, and she flushed slightly. When she'd first gotten pregnant with Claire she was over the moon, but there were days when she found herself terrified of not knowing what to do, or even worse, allowing the mess her father put them through to happen again. She knew that Tom would never become her father, but at the same time the thoughts always haunted her. Brianna hadn't mentioned any of those concerns, but they were part of this new motherhood thing: will I be able to do better than my parents did?
She brushed her hair out of her face, shaking her head lightly at Zach, "For reasons beyond me, Brianna's mad about you too and wants it to work out. Nappies isn't enough to prove that, and saying you want to be a dad isn't enough, you---at this point, you've got to literally do something."
To Fiona, getting down on one knee made a lot of sense, but that might be pushing her nosy-sister act a bit too far. "Look for some flats! Find out when her appointments are, you have to just be there instead of waiting for her take you back."
