Claire sat at the plain wooden table in the middle of her small kitchen, sipping at a mug of tea that had already gone lukewarm, one bare foot bouncing in a nervous tick she'd had since childhood. Nervous was actually one of many default states for her, ever since her life was torn apart before even hitting her teens- she was used to it. What she wasn't used to was dealing with it at the same time as her hormones were going haywire.
It had finally come down to that wire- where she was 'showing' enough on her normally very narrow frame that she had to say goodbye to her jeans in favor of yoga pants and loose shirts- not that she thought her halfbrother would really notice that, moreso than the ever-growing roundness of her lower belly- but that wasn't the focus right now. Her head was in a better place about the whole thing, mostly thanks to how Dean was handling it. He'd been her rock when she needed it, even when she didn't know she needed it. Everything else still seemed out of her league and terrifying, but not in a bad way. Not anymore.
But she was still nervous.
