Who: Jane Potter & Hannah Potter2-SWAP What: Meeting for the First Time When: Tuesday, 8 May; Sometime before Pokemon Requirements! (Backdated) Where: Jane's Room in Theta Warnings: All the emotions. Status: Threaded; Incomplete
Jane was simultaneously anxious for and dreading today. Of course she wanted to see Hannah. She loved Hannah so completely and hated that she'd gone—how long had she been here now?—days without seeing her baby. If she was back home, she wouldn't be seeing her, anyway. Perhaps that knowledge had made her alright with being here because this was the only existence she was able to have, thanks to the scientists—as much as she knew she wasn't supposed to be feeling gratitude. But there was another part of her that worried that Hannah could be as angry at Jane as Jane was angry with herself. She'd left Hannah in her world. She'd died and she hadn't been able to prevent Luke from dying and whatever happened to Hannah after that, Jane felt responsible for because she'd failed as a parent, failed to protect the people who mattered to her most.
What if Hannah resented her for dying? What if she thought of Luke's brother's family as her own now, and didn't recognize the fact that Jane and Luke were her parents? Well, Hannah had called her mum, so that was a good sign. She just wasn't sure she wanted to know if Hannah didn't love her because she could remember just days ago when she and Luke had been baby Hannah's heroes and her family.
Nervously tugging at the bottom hem of the Pokemon t-shirt Theta had given to each resident of this block and also wearing with the jean shorts that, okay, she had altered just slightly, Jane waited in her room for Hannah, where Jane had requested they meet. She wanted to see her, to talk to her, to know all about her. It wasn't something she wanted to share with the rest of the compound. Just as her continued grief for her dead husband was her own, so was whatever happened upon meeting her adult daughter. Merlina, she was scared to know what she missed in those years. But Jane never backed down because of fear. Fear drove her, propelled her forward and it was with that attitude that she steeled herself for the ridiculously difficult day this was bound to be, regardless of how positive or negative the reaction from Hannah was.
