"Perhaps, if I had a designer. I wouldn't say that I, myself, am the most artistic individual. But I have ideas, if someone could bring them to life."[break][break]

His question was pretty accurate to how things were. Everyone had been afraid of Merrick Prescott. He had ruled his trade with an iron fist, and if anyone had broken agreements or otherwise were sent a harsh punishment worse than death.[break][break]

Summer, on the other hand, didn't want to be like her father. But, that made her image appear weak. And she was much younger than him. Her influence wasn't as important in their eyes as his.[break][break]

"Not much is different between how we are running the company. It's a matter of respect. My father was in the industry for many years. While he trained me... rather, I should say groomed me, to be his replacement, that doesn't mean his partners respected me," she explained.[break][break]

"I have been apart of many negotiations and meetings with these individuals. But my father was always present, or the thought of him was there. They never wanted to disrespect him. However, now, I'm fresh meat. And I'm a woman. Just because I'm his daughter doesn't mean that they have to respect me. I am not my father."

"I'd just have to find brands that'd want to sell and collaborate with me. Maybe independent designers too."

Though he was right. She rarely, if ever, wore the same outfit twice. There were several occasions she did, specifically if she loved the item or cherished it. But most of the time, it was a one and done type of deal.[break][break]

Hell, maybe she could even resell her old clothes.[break][break]

When Gunner mentioned her business, however... she shrugged. Summer had to be careful now. It didn't seem like the right time to spill every dirty secret she had, right?[break][break]

"Trade partners not wanting to hold up on their end of the deal any more. Trying to change terms of agreement that were settled a long time ago, now that my father's gone. It gives me a headache."

Summer smiled, leaning into his arm as he put it around her shoulder. The dip in the cushion as he sat was comfortable as his familiar warmth sank into her aching bones.[break][break]

"I agree." Loki was an intuitive creature. Some Pokemon were aloof. But her THIEVUL seemed quite the opposite, as she was in tune with her surroundings and the feelings of her companions.[break][break]

She wondered if she could manage the pregnancy this time. Her last had ended so abruptly... and it was devastating. Summer had put herself back into full time overdrive after her loss to forget everything, even drinking herself into oblivion.[break][break]

Would the same happen again? She'd like to think not...[break][break]

"Hmm? I don't know. I haven't really given it much thought..." She tilted her head up as she thought. "Maybe a fashion shop. Selling designer clothes and jewelry?"

"Mm..." was her response after she kissed him, finishing another few key strokes before shutting her laptop. She set it aside, perhaps for later. But the likelihood of her picking it up to work again unless she got an urgent message was slim.[break][break]

"If there was a way for me to earn money without having to deal with the bullshit and responsibilities I have, that would be wonderful. Sometimes I wish that my father didn't leave me to inherit the company."[break][break]

Sometimes. Now, more than ever, it was all the time.[break][break]

Loki rubbed against Gunner's legs in a cat-like manner before jumping on the couch beside Summer. She settled her head over her trainer's stomach, as if she could hear the practically invisible baby moving.[break][break]

"She's been quite overprotective. I think she knows, or at least she can sense it." Summer ran a hand down her fur.[break][break]

"Sit?" She pat the cushion beside her, waiting for her boyfriend to join her.

Summer had just come home from work, setting her things down by the door as she always did to be collected later. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, her energy was draining more and more. It was normal, the doctor had said, but it was still something she couldn't find herself getting used to.[break][break]

It was nice having people coming in to clean up for her. At least it made her feel less like a slob. Because with the nausea, vomiting, and bloating, she felt less herself.[break][break]

She wondered if Gunner Graves felt any different about her since their baby made a surprise announcement to them. Summer chewed the inside of her cheek as she sat down on her couch, opening her laptop to finish a few emails she told herself she'd get to later.[break][break]

Gunner... a family... was there any way she could possibly even do this with them in her future? Be a Rocket elite, run underground black market trades, and lie to the man she cared about?[break][break]

She was so lost in thought that she didn't hear Gunner Graves open and close the door until Loki, her THIEVUL made excited chirping noises.[break][break]

"Hey, Gunner," Summer said, smiling tiredly.

Summer accepted his kisses, settling beside him on the couch contently. She cuddled beside him, pulling her legs up to her chest as she looked at the screen. Truly, she had no idea what to watch right now.[break][break]

Her mind was still reeling at everything that had happened.[break][break]

”A comedy, I suppose?” she suggested.

Maybe it wasn't fair for her to be questioning Gunner like this. It was her own insecurities holding her away from celebrating this with him, although it was a shocking revelation. She sighed before looking back up at him.[break][break]

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound harsh. I wasn't sure how you would react. This is all so new and so fast, I..." Summer paused, glancing away shyly.[break][break]

"I don't want to lose you too."[break][break]

There was a moment's beat before she nodded, separating from him long enough to go clean up and come back. Except she decided to change in the process, getting more comfy and cozy in one of his sweatshirts.[break][break]

"Is this okay?"

Summer wondered if he remembered the time they were on the beach, when she had confessed she had carried a child before. Though that one didn't make it, she thought... hoped... this time would be different.[break][break]

"You're not just saying that are you?" she said, wiping away her tears as he pulled her closer.[break][break]

She allowed herself to rest against his chest though, somewhat relieved. Maybe... soon it was time to tell him the truth.

In a clearly already hormonal state, Summer felt the familiar sting of tears threatening to break through the barrier. She wasn't going to cry. If it was over, then she'd leave with her head up-[break][break]

Until he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. She could hear his heart beating in his chest, and the dam broke. Tears dripped down her face as she sniffed pitifully, holding him back.[break][break]

"Do you want it?" she asked almost hesitantly, her voice quiet from his chest.

Summer heard his question, not even answering verbally. She just nodded, her blood running cold as she panicked on the inside. Gunner was going to kick her out. Send her to the street and ask her to never see him again.[break][break]

Fuck, how many times could she mess everything up?[break][break]

Her gaze snapped up as he asked the second question. Did he truly believe that she'd been seeing someone else, even before they were exclusive? That this was all some kind of mess up? It felt almost insulting.[break][break]

"You're the only one I've seen for several months."

Summer had no idea what his reaction was going to be. What if he decided to break up with her, to end things right then and there? Sure, it was all an accident, but...[break][break]

She couldn't hide this from him.[break][break]

Summer approached slowly, though she was avoiding his gaze from her building anxiety before she extended her hand. There were two pregnancy tests. And on each of them, bright and clear, it showed the result:[break][break]

Positive.

Summer allowed him to carry the bag, though she hoped he didn't look inside it. She was relieved once they made it back to Gunner's place, seeing Mordred waiting for them.[break][break]

Ignoring her own illness for a moment, she let Hela out of her ball, allowing her own ZOROARK to greet Mordred with a happy, chirping noise.[break][break]

"I'm okay, thank you. I'm going to run to the bathroom first," she said, taking the bag and setting it to the side.[break][break]

In a few minutes, Summer was back, but she was holding something in her hand, her face red and her heart stammering. "Uh... Gunner?"
