"James, I...I really like you too...but, I'm pregnant, I can't do that to you, burden you with both of us, it's not even your baby...and right now you're drunk, and probably won't remember a word of this conversation in the morning...and, oh god, so many other things..." Keely trailed off, realising she was babbling on. She had also gotten up off the chair and was now pacing back and forward, what James had said had shocked her somewhat, even with the fact that he was drunk.

James nodded in whole-hearted agreement with her; yes, he was drunk and also yes, he probably wouldn't remember it in the morning. But that didn't stop the fact that if felt so right. He knew Keely was pregnant; he'd never known her not pregnant, so I suppose one could say that helps his case. For a few minutes, he was lost for what to say. She'd come up with valid arguments, but god dammit, he would not be beaten by these valid arguments. He also didn't want to scare Keely away by saying he was more than ready for it to be his baby, biological or not.
"You couldn't be a burden if you tried." was the first thing he managed to get out. "And.. And I know I'm drunk. But I mean it.. Hah. Call it dutch courage. And I probably won't remember when I wake up in the morning.. Though I'll try my damnedest to. I want to remember this.. But if I don't. I'm going to ask you again." he said, before closing his eyes a for a bit.

"I just don't want you to regret it James, I couldn't do that to anyone, especially not you," she replied. She stopped her pacing and say down on the couch next to him, she was confused about it all, and also kind of scared about it all, she really didn't want things to get screwed up.

Keely sat down on the couch next to him and he established eye contact. "I'd kiss you now, but I'm thinking that a soft kiss on the lips might not be as effective if I miss and, I dunno, kiss your nose." he said, half joking, half annoyed that yes, he did want to prove it to her with all he could - but now he realised the problem. This wasn't something he could do drunk. Frustrated, he stood up and walled his way into the kitchen where he plopped down on a chair and started scribbling in his usual scrawl. It was hard to read for most people, most of the time. But now it was damm near illegible. But, he could still read it. He wrote simply : tel Keely y <3 but managed to write a backwards K.

Keely followed him to the kitchen, stopping in the doorway and leaning against the frame. She watched him write, fully realising how serious he was about it. She watched him in silence, a million thoughts rushing through her head, barely having time to actually think about them all.

James groaned as the full amount of alcohol finally hit him - if he didn't move quickly, he was going to have a fair bit of cleaning to do. Jumping up quickly, he ran - or rather, stumbled - down to the toilet and promptly sat down in front of it, purging his stomach contents down the toilet. After the first few minutes, he didn't know where Keely was, but really didn't want her to see him like this. He called out to her.
"I think.. Perhaps.. You should go home. I'll call you in the morning and we'll speak again." was all he managed to get out before another bout of chucking began.

"Talk to you then...Goodnight," Keely replied, hoping that he was alright. She let herself out of his house and into her car, starting the engine. She sat there for a few moments, everything that had happened running through her mind as if on loop. Finally, Keely pulled out of the driveway and made her way home. It didn't take her long to get ready for bed, she felt really tired all of a sudden and all she wanted to do was sleep.
