Cecelia walked into a small shop and looked around with a light smile. She was excited. She hadn't gotten to do much baby clothes shopping while she was away since she was so far from civilization. She lifted a small pink onesie and dropped it. She huffed and leaned down, only to find herself unable to get back up.

"Damnit!"

((OOC: I want someone to do this topic with me preferably that knows about the brief Dorien/Rogue interlude and doesn't know that I exist, or that rogue knows about me yet. Just for a little drama :) ))

OOC: Hope this is okay... I don't exactly fit all the criteria, but I can add some drama at some point...

BIC: Finn needed some new robes. A First year lit his robe on fire. Finn would have his revenge. It would be painful and embarrassing. Painbarrassing. He watched a witch fall over. She appeared to be very pregnant, or very fat. He didn't recognize her from first glance.

He tried not to be rude, he didn't know if she was pregnant or not, so, he said, "Are you okay? Someone in your condition shouldn't have to be bending over and falling down. Let me help you..." He extended his hand to her, then looked at her face. "Cece?" He asked, more than said. He hadn't seen her in ages, "Let me help you."

Cecelia chuckled and allowed herself to be helped up by him. "Thanks for the help.." By the thinness of her face it was obvious that she was pregnant. "My condition eh? I'm not just fat dear, I'm pregnant." She showed him the little baby outfit that was in her hand. "See?" She chuckled and shook her head, wiping her large stomach. "I feel like there are eight kids in here. I've never been this size before..."

"That's what my mother used to say when she had my little sister..." Finn had considered asking who the father was, but thought better of it. "When are you due?" Finn asked, he could tell it was soon, but didn't know when. "Do you know what you are going to name it?" If the child had her genes, he knew that it would be cute.

She chuckled. "Any day now. And I'm having a little girl... Bianca Jade Ferrari-Hurt." She smiled and brushed her hair from her face. She was surprized he didn't hate her considering what her sister had done to him all those many months ago. She didn't want to mention it...With the wizarding world being in the shambles it was in she was sure everyone had grown up...

"I'm pretty excited."

"Bianca... That's such a pretty name." He could tell that they were stepping around the elephant in the room. "I would be excited too... I wish I could find the one... You know? I just... I mean... Never mind... I really happy for you. I hope you don't forget to invite me over to see it sometime..."

Chi-Chi smiled. "I would love to have you for my baby shower. I'll owl you when I know when it is and you're more than welcome!" She smiled a little sadly. "You'll find the one honey. It'll take some time but once you find her...you'll know." She bit her lower lip and rubbed her belly. "You'll know."

Finn frowned, "I only hope I haven't missed her..." It had been forever since he had seen her... He really needed a beer, but it wasn't right to ask a pregnant lady to go and drink... "I look forward to seeing your baby... Is there anything I can bring?"

She smiled lightly. "I hope you have a beautiful lady to bring." She gently touched his face. "I don't need much but it's sort of a potluck deal. Bring your favorite food...preferably a fried one." She chuckled and removed her hand. "I know you don't like my family but...I like you. I hope we can get over this because it would great to have you as a part of Bianca's life... She doesn't have any aunts left and has no uncles... No real grandparents... It would be great to have another strong male figure for her." She smiled, trying to make him happy.

Finn's frown softened into a small smile. Finn knew that he had always wanted to be a father, someday. He loved little kids, and in general, they loved him. "Okay," Finn said, "I'll be there, I wouldn't miss it." He smile turned to a grin after the fried foods comment. He knew of the cravings women got when they were with child. His mother was that way not long ago with his sister Nica. "I would be honored to be a part of this child's life." He couldn't believe that it was in the nature of a Ferrari to be this nice. His past experiences with them had been less than enjoyable.

She smiled. "Thsnk you... And do me a favor hun...Don't confuse me with Delilah. We're twins but... Not the same in character. I'm not like her in most ways... I mean I miss her like crazy as she's still missing but... I can't lie. She's not a very nice person to anyone but me and our nephew but in all honesty.. She's horrible. I'm not. I've always liked you Finn...Please don't punish me for her actions."

"I'll never make that mistake again." Finn said solemly, "I should judge people the first time I meet them. Maybe they are having a bad day, or maybe they are in a bad mood... Thanks for helping me to see that..." Finn picked up a gray hoodie off a sales rack and tried it on. It seemed to fit him well. He took it off, and slung it over his shoulder. "Is there anything that you need help with?" he asked, "You shouldn't have to be bending and running all over the place... I can help you."

Cecelia smiled sweetly. "That would be wonderful actually! I need to buy a crib and I don't know that I can carry it...You can help me pick it out too..." She knew it wasn't safe telling him where it was exactly that she lived but she figured he could at least help her carry it to the cab. "Thank you so much Finny." She smiled, testing out the sugary sweet nickname.

Oh, brother, Finn thought to himself, That's what Lucier used to call me... But she's pregnant... So she gets a pass... "Yeah, sure, that isn't a problem... I could probably bring it to where you are staying if you want..." Finn had no idea about where Cece stood on the newest political battle, he doubted that she would tell him. "I think cribs are this way." Finn said, pointing to another department.

Cecelia held a hand to her stomach and waddled in the direction he pointed her in. "No it's okay. I don't like having company when everything's a mess..." It was a true statement...But she didn't want him to know the truth in everything. "So.." she said, testing the waters, "Where do you stand in this whole mess of the family versus the resistance?" It was a bold question but she was a bold character.

"Oh Jesus Christ... Don't even get me started... I really dislike everyone... The Family thinks that there needs to be some kind of cleansing of all magical beings on this Earth, which is ridiculous, and the Resistance thinks that there shouldn't be regulations on magical creatures... I don't know... It seems like everyone has their own agenda and stuff... Really seems like a waste of time..." Finn reached the crib section... "What do you think about this one?" he asked, pointing to a pink crib with yellow flowers.

Cecelia nodded. "I feel the same way. Oh this one is adorable!" She giggled and touched the crib. "Wow I am so excited to be having this baby.. It gives me someone to love and to be quite honest, something to do. After leaving the school I have absolutely nothing to do and I really miss it! I wish I could have been there for the rest of my sixth year and my seventh year too..."

"I feel the same way about my puppy..." He smiled, and was quick to say, "I know it isn't the same thing, but..." He trailed off. He wondered if he would ever have a kid of his own, or if he would have to settle for a dog.
