"Why can't my babies fix world hunger too? After all, the pen is mightier than the sword!" She raised her index finger up high as if to put her "sword" on display for Annie to see. "Besides, with all my health issues, how do I even know if I'm able to have babies. I'm sure all the medicines I take are making me sterile or something." It was a thought she hadn't actually ever voiced before, but it constantly plagued her. It would be just her luck if the one thing she wanted most (a husband, children, a family of her own) would be the one thing she couldn't ever have.
"Last time?" Penny didn't like parading herself around the Allen residence. For one, despite her stealth, she really was afraid of getting caught and being linked back to Songbird, or worse, to Annie. So, she had Songbird's trusty spies circling the house. And when Lexie went to visit, well, she didn't think much of it. Probably to beg for Jacen's forgiveness or fill Josie's shampoo bottles with glue or something. Since Penny wasn't actually there, she had no idea it was Annie masquerading as her sister. The spies lost interest soon thereafter. "Trust me. You're insanely hotter than any of those California girls. And it's not just cause I'm your best friend. Besides, it's a good thing Jacen knows that he's the newest target on Emily's Object of Obsession Radar. I'm sure he remembers her crazy obsession with Max."
