How Long Do We Live For? - Remastered

"How about.. we start at the beginning. What do the two of you plan on doing? Have you decided yet?" Audrina asked softly, shifting slightly so she could lean into Hunter's side.

Chelsea nodded. "Yes. We're keeping our baby."

Sebastian nodded in agreement

Hermione watched them

Audrina nodded. "And have you thought about how that will work out for you both once the baby is here? School and work, Sebastian?"

Chelsea leaned into him even more. "I'm going to finish school."

“We have an idea.” Sebastian told her. “During the week I will take her to and from school before work the baby will then stay with me during the day.”

Hermione remained silent

"That's-.." Audrina paused for a moment to gather the proper wording for this. "That's a lot of driving back and forth five days a week. And how will you take care of the baby while you're working?" She looked at Hunter since he hadn't said anything yet to see if he had anything to add.

She tightened her fingers around his. "We already know that.. but it's that or Bastian has the baby all week long by himself..."

“It was the best option,” Sevastian shrugged. “Chelsea would hate being away from th baby for that long and I was going to talk to Hunter about making it work.”

Hunter looked to him. “It’s going to be difficult.” Hunter told him

"I can't be away from the baby all week.. it wouldn't be fair to any of us an-.. and how would they bond properly with me if I'm not here?" Chelsea's fear of not being around enough was beginning to show.

She nodded slowly. "I'm going to have our own little one to look after soon enough but.. I should be able to help a bit in looking after them while you work." After all this is going to be her grandchild. Gosh that sounded crazy!

“I’ll be around too.” Hermione told them. “I can help.”

“Are you going to be okay to do that?” Hunter asked her

Hermione nodded

Sebastian looked to Chelsea kissing her head

Chelsea tucked her face into his chest, hugging him tightly.

Audrina watched them both.

He hugged her just as tightly.

Hunter watched them

She stayed close to him, not wanting to let him go.

Hunter watched them. “We will help as much as you can, but you two will need to learn fast.”

Chelsea mindlessly played with his fingers. "We-.. weren't asking for help. An-and I'm going to learn.. I'm not going to go into this recklessly..." she told them softly. Their timing with getting pregnant wasn't the best but she was going to be a good mother.

Hunter nodded with a soft sigh. “At least you seemed to have thought this through a little.”

"I would say that I'd get a job too but-.." she doubted Sebastian would go for that idea now.

"The help was offered, Chels.. we're only wanting to make sure that you've thought this through. That's all."

“Couldn’t really stop you.” Sebastian reminded her

"At least for a little while.. so I can help too." She looked up at him. She didn't know everything about babies but she knew they were expensive and needed lots of things.

He nodded

Hunter nodded he looked to be thinking

She had already decided that she was going to take classes to learn all about her pregnancy and caring for a newborn so all of the burden of teaching her wouldn't have to fall on Bastian.

“You can learn from us as well.” Hunter reminded her. “After all we raised you and Arthur.”

"I know that but I can't rely on you both for everything."

“No but you can request our help and if we can we will give it.”

She nodded her head.

Hunter nodded

Chelsea looked up at Bastian.
