Seven years ago today, on the dot...he thought to himself as he tossed down his cards. 10:00am on this day. He took a drag of his cigarette and then stood up from the table.
"I'm out," he mumbled and stumbled toward the back of the place. Tristan pushed his way through the curtain and immediately plopped his ass on a cushion.

Nevada was having the worst day she'd had in a long ass time. She'd been feeling--odd--the last week or so. She finally went to the doctor but Tristan was nowhere to found so she had to take Mikey with her.
She thought the doctor had been fucking with her. She couldn't be pregnant, but she was. When she got to the lodge Tristan was nowhere to be seen. Someone told her to check Sharkeys so she went. She couldn't find anyone to watch Mikey so she buried his face against her chest.
'Tristan,' Nevada growled, 'get up.'

Tristan managed to open up one eye and look up at her. All that red hair...it was hard to stay awake.
"Go away," He grumbled at her and turned over. Fuck this. Seven years and it never got any easier.

'GO AWAY?' nevada shouted, reaching down and trying to pull him up. 'get your ass up right now!' she said trying harder to pull him up.

He actually started laughing at her. It was clear that he was ridiculously stoned, his eyes were all glazed over. he shook his head at her.
"You can't lift me."

She couldn't lift him. She realized that as her fingers slipped off of his shirt and she landed flat on her back. She whimpered as she heard Mikey starting to cry.
'Tristan please...please come hone with me I need to talk to you.' she said trying to remain calm.

"Not now," He said to her coldy, glaring at her. There was no way he was moving from where he was.
"Go home." Tristan glared at her.

Nevada stood up and cradled Mikey tighter to her.
'I'll go home. Pack my shit and leave. I'll raise this fucking kid by myself,' Nevada said as she pointed to her stomach, 'o that's right asshole you're going to be a fAther again! Congrats.' she said as she turned around and made her way-out of Sharkeys, trying to stop the tears.

It took him a few minutes to process everything she'd just said...maybe longer than a few minutes, because he'd nodded out and when he came too he had no idea how long it had been since she'd come for him.
Tristan got to his foot, swaying as he did so. He felt nauseaus, like he always did after. He made his way out into the night, hoping she'd still be there when he got home.
Tristan opened the door to his room slowly.
"Nevada?" He asked, his voice cracked, his throat hurt.

Nevada had finished packing but was sitting on the bed holding Mikey, not able to leave him behind yet.
She looked up and wiped away the remainder of her tears.
'What Tristan?' she asked standing up and putting up her hard exterior.

Tristan stood in the doorway not really knowing what to say, he did know he didn't want to loose her.
"Are you really?" He asked her. Tristan actually looked like he'd been through hell and back, his eyes were all bloodshot and he had dark circles under his eyes.

Nevada put her hand over her stomach and nodded. mm
'yes Tristan I'm pregnant.' she said angrily, 'i wanted to tell you another way but you left me no real option.'
Nevada could see the wear on Tristans face but really didn't give a shit at that moment

Tristan looked down at the floor and then stepped inside shutting the door.
"I'm so...sorry," He said, he couldn't even look at her. He licked his lips and walked over to the window, staring out at the night sky. "I ain't good at taking care of people." He said suddenly, still not looking at her. "Too much...too much is haunting me and I'm always running."

'well then how about you just worry about Mikey?' Nevada asked before setting him on the bed and grabbing her bag. 'now you have two less people to worry about,' she said as she moved to walk out of the room

Tristan turned around to look at her and stepped over to her. "Please don't go."
