As the show ends and the lights come up he stands, offering a helping hand to Mystic. "Ready to head out?" he asked, his words soft and caring. He had began walking towards the door, still holding her hand.

"Alright.." She's not sure where they're going. But, wherever it is, she doesn't really care..SHe's pretty hungry. She follows Danny as close as she dares, not wanting to run into him, therefore looking like a ditzy blonde--which she isn't.

Danny led her out of the building and towards his truck parked nearby; a Dodge Ram 3500. He opened the passenger door and held it as he waited to help her climb in.

Mystic smiles, and gets into the truck carefully. She takes her satbelt and buckles it, then wait patiently for Danny to be ready to go..wherever it is they're going.

Danny made his way around the truck and climbed in on the opposite side. "How does hitting one of the main diners sound?" he said with a smile.

"Sounds great." Yeah, pretty much everything sounds great right now, since she won't be alone. She suddenly remembers something, a doctor's appointment, but then also remembers it's tomorrow..and is happy about that.

Danny started the diesel engine and pushed in the clutch, putting the truck in reverse. He looked to Mystic and smiled. "So...how far along are you, if you don't mind me asking." he said softly.

Mystic's cheeks flush. She didn't expect him to not notice--everyone else did--but.."Four months.." She looks out the window. She hates explaining this, for the plain and simple reason that people fail to listen long enough to know she's not full of crap.

"Oh..." he said softly. He smiled. He loved children, although he hadn't been around many since he joined the Marines. "I love kids. Especially babies. I used to have to babysit my little sister." he said with a smile.

Mystic still isn't sure how she feels about kids--until just a few weeks ago, she wasn't even supposed to keep them. But no, a couple that wanted a baby so bad left them because there's three. Mystic saw no point in hating them, but seriously wishes she'd never done this. Well, she'll just have to adjust--she won't give these babies up when their real parents already have. "That's cool.." She smiles a little.

"Do you not like kids?" Danny asked with a puzzled look. The girl seemed so sweet and kind...surely she wouldn't just abandon her baby. A few strands of his whispy hair had fallen into his face, but a quick flick of his strong hand brushed them away.

She gives a short laugh. "Yeah..I just didn't think so soon.." ..Or so many at once..Or under such circumstances...Becoming a surrogate mother was a spur-of-the-moment (kind of) decision. But Mystic did want kids anyway..she thought, though, that if she ever had kids they'd be her own, and she'd be married to the guy of her dreams. And she'd been older. But no, this is the exact opposite of what she planned.

"Yeah...I do understand that...but everyone makes mistakes...I'm sure you'll make a great mother." he said with a warm smile. And he was honest. She seemed sweet, and she seemed to try to take care of her unborn child(ren) rather carefully.

"Thanks.." Nobody's ever really said anything about her abilities as a parental unit--the only baby she ever had to take care of before was a mechanical one for health class her freshman year. She did excellent on that, but..it wasn't real. And it was only one. Danny seems nice enough, but.. what happens when she explains why she's like this?

"Where's the baby's daddy?" he ask softly. He hated the whole idea of people leaving and abandoning one parent with the child, forcing them to either abandon or raise them alone.

Mystic cringes, going a little pale. She knew that question was coming--it doesn't upset her, she just needs to think for a moment, and word her answer carefully. "It...it's kind of hard to explain, really.." A safe answer, though it usually promts further interrogating. But what she said is true--the entire stuation is hard to explain, no matter how many times she does it.

"Well, then you don't have to if you don't want to." he said quietly. He smiled that sweet smile he usually kept on his fine features and then focused his attention on the road once again.

Mystics sighs, and looks out the window. She assumes she'll ahve to tell Danny at some point, and might as well say it now, before she gets too attached to him. "Well, what happened was..I wanted to get into college.." She goes on to explain what happened--how she wanted to be a surrogate mother, and the biological parents that up and abandoned her when they found out she was carrying triplets. This is where most people assume she's full of crap, accuse her of lying, and leave.

"Wow...that is complicated huh?" he said with a sympathetic smile. He understood her motives...that was one of the reasons he was in the Army...education. It would give him one. He looked at her with understanding eyes. "I can't believe they just abandoned you." he said with a frown. "That's horrible." He offered his hand to her with a sweet smile.

Mystic's cheeks flush again. She gently places her hand in his. She's give the babies up herself, but..she just doesn't have the heart. "Yeah.." She couldn't believe it either at first, how they could just leave like that. She figured they'd change their minds after a couple hours, that they were just scared at first. But when she got notice that they'd relinquished parental rights, she knew..

He squeezed her hand gently and sighed as he whipped the large truck into the parking lot of a nerby diner.
