Keegan paused, his ears going back. His gaze then fell to the floor, a little off to the side. "...Oh...I see." Holding Moss gently, he then held the baby out to Des. "Here, wanna hold him?"

Des jumped out of the blankets, and took Moss gently. "It's not fair... Well... it's fair to him but.." Des put the now sleeping Moss into a crib, speaking gently. "It's hard for me to explain but you know what I mean, right?" Des looked to him, her ears back. "I don't like commitments that much, you know that."

"I know, I know," Keegan said, placing his feet together. Wrapping his hands around his feet, he began to rock back and forth gently. "Trust me."

Des didn't like to see Keegan so sad. She wanted to kiss him, tell him that it was alright, and to forget. Then it hit her... that's the only reason why she did this with these four other men. To forget the world for a while. And the reason why she needed to go off into her little world for a while was... she didn't want to think of who it was. Des, upon realizing this began to tear up, falling to her knees. The fact that she loved both Keegan and Gary was enough to bear on its own besides the fact that the only reason she had even begun to love them was because she needed to get away from reality. The reason why she had children. The idea that she had so many children then turned her thoughts to realize that that's why she loved so many different guys now!
With all this running through her head, she just broke down crying.

Keegan stiffened up, becoming slightly confused. "Des? Des, you okay?" A frown caused his features to faulter, and he leaned foreward. Laying a hand against her shoulder, he almost pulled her closer. But hesitated. Afterall, she wasn't supposed to be even in the same room as him, right? Taking a deep breath, Keegan sighed. But was reluctant to move his hand none-the-less. "Dessy....what's wrong?"

"It'd make you upset..." was all Des could say at that point. She stood up, shoving Keegan away, not really meaning to do so so hard but still. She ran out of the room as quietly as she could so as to not wake up the sleeping babes and cause Josie more work than necessary. Des ran into the hall, stopping for a second to let her knees rest so they wouldn't buckle out form under her.

Keegan paused, blinking a few times. He...really didn't know what to do at this point. Chase her? Well, that would be pointless as he couldn't run as fast as her. Call out to her? Doubtful she'd call back. Sit here like an idiot? Uhm...well...it seemed the right thing to do at the time...

Des knew that Keegan wouldn't chase her. She'd known for a while, and used her speed as an advantage to just walking away. See, because Keegan didn't even try to follow her now-a-days, Des began to just walk while holding an arm to her eyes, covering them and their salty brims.

Not long after Des had begun to walk away, something rather heavy suddenly slammed itself into her back. Said creature that did this giggled, making an obvious attempt at knocking Des over.

Des immediately put a foot in front of the other, catching the added weight. She also had to slamm her claws into the wall beside her to stop herself from falling. Des looked over her shoulder, the tears stopping because of the sudden surprise.

A rather small critter looked back up at her, a grin etched across it's features. "Howdy Auntie Des!" Cried the girl, her tan fox tail twitching. Taking a step back, Nora grinned up at Des. "How goes it?" Now, exactly what Nora was doing here, and why she was being so sweet and cute was something currently unknown and undetectable. And, most likely, the reason for her appearance wasn't going to be something to celebrate.

Des took a long pause, her expression having gone from surprised to, 'oh... it's just you, Nora... go away' look. Des sighed, walking on and trying to ignore Nora's presence, knowing that IF Des got herself mangled up in Nora's affairs, it would not be a happy day for Des.

Nora crossed her arms over her chest, wrinkling her nose. "Fine then. Don't talk to me. I guess I'll just have to keep hushed about that urgent news my mother had for you." Nora shrugged non-chalantly, spinning around on her heels. "Oh well. It was only something about a ghost or something something like that."

Des stopped short, turning around in a flash. "What was it, Nora?!" She asked, suddenly infront of Nora, hands on shoulders and looking Nora right in the eye to catch a lie.

With relative ease, Nora brushed Des' hands away. "Oh, nothing. You aren't interested in talking to me anyways." Turning, she shrugged gently. "I should probably just go."

Des glared at Nora. "Nora, tell me now," Des said, quite angry and frustrated now. "Or you won't see Brendan for a VERY... LONG... time..."

Nora's eyes widened, and it was clear she was ready to snap something along the lines of 'You can't keep me from him,' but obviously chose against it. "Well..." She began, rocking back and forth on her heels. "She mentioned something about a ghost...a ghost...now....which one was it?" She murmered, pressing a finger to her lips. After a few seconds, she brightened up and shrugged. "Oh well. I can't remember. She just mentioned something about a ghost and needing to talk to you. Or something like that."

Des stood up, morphing into a large wolf and slipping her muzzle between Nora's legs. She bumped Nora up, positioning herself so Nora'd land on her back. "Take me to her, please!"

As an instintive reaction, Nora dug her sharp and rather miniscoule claws into Des' thick fur - obviously not making much damage. "Alright, alright. But if you drop me, I'll drag you and your family down to hell to stay with me for all eternity. Won't that be fun?"

Des laughed, and began to run. "Actually, yes.. yes it would!" She grinned back atNora, bumping her rear end into the air just for fun and to scare Nora. Des' large paws padded and thudded down the hall, nor really moving at high speeds but a high enough speed so that hair flew straight back.
