Curse was still in stunned bemusement as he paced back into Lexi and Max's house and glanced towards the guest bedrooms. Jo was probably no doubt laying down after another bought of sickness and Curse felt a bit guilty for not being in there with her. However, he did NOT handle that sort of thing well so he'd kissed her head and slipped out to take a walk on the estate grounds as he tried to sort through his thoughts.
As he sneaked quietly into the old plantation style house, the young hunter started towards the kitchen and was rewarded by an arched look from the Blairs housekeeper, Betsy. She was standing with the cook before the huge island table and a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies sat on a cooling tray. Eyeing them, Curse pasted on his best smile and Betsy actually took pity on him.
"Come on in here, young sir. You go on and grab yourself some cookies and take some on up to your pretty wife. You both look like you could stand some pampering."
Grinning, the young man couldn't help but be grateful for the woman's intuition. His stomach never seemed to get enough food and Jo.. Well, Jo loved chocolate. Maybe this would tempt her enough to keep something in her stomach. She seemed to be sick an awful lot lately and she certainly could use the calories. Her and the baby... The baby.... Wow, what a deep thought!
Shaking his head a bit again, he picked up some cookies and then nodded his thanks. When the housekeeper made shooing motions, he slipped from the kitchen and headed up the huge staircase and down the corridar to the guestrooms.
Tapping lightly, Curse opened the door and silently slipped inside.Seeing Jo on the bed, he moved towards it and set down on the edge. As her eyes fluttered, he smiled and waved the cookies in her face.
"Hey Darlin... I'm here to tempt you with chocolate..."

JoJo was still dealing with major bouts of morning sickness. After another round of puking her guts out she brushed her teeth and went back to the bed to lay down. Curling up in a ball she just lay there. Hoping the queasiness would go away, just for a little while at least. She was a little disappointed that Curse wasn't there but she understood that he didn't tolerate the whole sick thing well. If it wasn't her doing the puking she probably wouldn't want to hang around much either. Jo rarely got sick so she was feeling miserable with this.
They had been at Lexi and Max's house in New Orleans for a few days now. They wanted to come here to get prepared for Lexi to give birth in New Orleans. Lexi had been kind enough to invite them along. Jo had been so grateful. Lexi was the only person she really knew that had been pregnant and she was glad she would have someone around that knew what she was going through.
As she lay on the bed her mind started drifting off. There were still things that hadn't been settled yet. They couldn't exactly just live with Lexi and Max forever. They needed to figure out what they were going to do. Not just a place to live but how were they going to pay for everything. Jo was used to hustling money in bars to pay for cheap motels and food while she was on the road. She knew that Curse hired himself out to hunt demons but, if he continued to do that all the time he'd never be around. Frowning at that thought. She didn't exactly want to be left alone. Her husband out on the road hunting while she sat around getting fatter with nothing to do.
Jo sighed and closed her eyes trying to clear her mind. Before she knew it she had drifted off into a light sleep. After a bit she thought she heard someone at the door then the door opening. Still half asleep she kept her eyes closed as she felt Curse sit down on the side of the bed next to her. Blinking her eyes a few times to wake herself up so looked up and saw him smiling at her. He had cookies in his hand and that perked her up a bit. "Hey Darlin... I'm here to tempt you with chocolate..." Smiling back at him she moved to sit up on the bed. She eyed the cookies and could tell they were chocolate chip. Her mouth watered at the thought of the cookies though she was slightly worried about eating them. She really didn't want to throw up again. But the amazing smell of the fresh baked cookies she couldn't resist and she took one from her husband. "Thanks, let's hope that I can keep something down huh?" Jo wondered vaguely if she could keep the cookie down maybe she could live on cookies for the whole pregnancy. Unfortunately she knew that wouldn't be wise. As much as she'd like it, it wouldn't be healthy for the baby and she had to think about that now. Taking a little nibble of the cookie she looked back up at Curse. "So... have you given any thought to what we're gonna do? I mean, as nice as it is... We can't really live here forever. I know you've been on your best behavior, but I think eventually you and Lexi would probably drive each other crazy. Plus, they're gonna have a baby, we're gonna have a baby. I think it would just be weird all of us living here together." Jo took another small bite of the cookie. Hoping that if she ate it very slowly it would help. It wasn't easy either, the cookie was delicious and she wanted to just eat the whole thing in one big bite.

As his wife spook, Curse knew that the time had come to reveal his true worth. That he hadn't so far wasn't really because he didn't trust her.. It had just been that they had had so much to adjust too. The whole marriage thing.. and now the baby.
However, obviously his wife was worried about the future now and he knew it was time to come clean. He wasn't sure how she would react with the news but hopefully it would please her. Taking a deep breath, Curse decided that diving straight in would be the best way to go.
"Well, now... Darlin.... There is actually something that I've been meaning to tell you and never really had the time. I've told you a bit about my past but I've never revealed the true depth of my wallet..... Turns out, I'm a wealthy man and have more than a enough money to get us by even if neither one of us works the rest of our lives. My grand parents left both us kids a trust fund and I've never touched it. Had it, along with my military pay invested and since coming back to the states.. Well, I've lived off the paychecks I've made hunting the supernaturals."
Glancing at her, Curse let that sink in for a moment before continuing.
"So... Basically.. What I'm saying is this... Whatever you want to do.. Where ever you want to go.... We are well off enough that you dont' need to worry about it. I was always going to open up a weapons shop with a specialty in hunting gear but I'm game for anything else you might like to do too.... As long as its not a beauty parlor or some other such thing..."
As he waited for her to respond, the hunter hoped he was doing the right thing. Deep inside, he knew that there would never be another woman for him besides the one right here, right now. He'd fallen head over heels for the fiesty blond and he wanted to provide a home and hearth for both her and their baby.

JoJo kept munching on the cookie very slowly. Taking tiny bites and waiting in between before she took another one. As they sat on the bed next to each other she watched him. Waiting for him to respond. He seemed to be thinking something over. Jo took another bite of cookie then he spoke.
Listening intently to him she raised an eyebrow as he mentioned the fact that he had money put away. Taking a deep breath and letting it go she looked him in the eyes. Her thoughts tumbling over in her mind. On one hand she was trying to not be upset that he hadn't told her this before. On the other hand, she knew things had been crazy since they had met so she couldn't really blame him that it wasn't something that had come up in conversation before. She nodded before she said anything. "Wow... That's quite a bombshell I guess. I had no idea. At least you know that I didn't stay with you for your money." Jo chuckled a bit at that and then smiled at him. Moving over closer to him she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him quickly but softly on the lips. She draped her legs over his and kept her arms around him and leaned into him. Resting against him as he continued on. When he finished, Jo sat and thought for a bit. "Well, I'm glad that we don't have to worry about money. I have to be honest, I'm not used to that though. But it's good, things are different now. It's not just us, it's the baby too. Our family." Jo stopped there for a minute. Letting those thought settle into her mind. The idea of them having a baby, of being a family was still a little strange and overwhelming. To actually say it out loud made it even more so. "I do have some ideas. If you're not OK with them then we can discuss them. I mean it has to be right for both of us. Not just me. I want you to be happy too. But, I wouldn't mind finding a place to live around here. You know. Be close to Lexi and Max. I never really have been around anyone pregnant before and to have a friend close by who knows what I'm going through... Well, I'd like that. " Stopping again for a minute Jo took another bite of cookie. Looking at Curse, giving him a chance to respond if he wanted to. Suddenly wishing she had something to drink with the cookie. For some reason she was craving apple juice now. She brought herself back to her thoughts. "I also had an idea about something else... I mean, I grew up at The Roadhouse. It's something I know how to do. Maybe we could have a place here. Something that caters to hunters. Drinks and food you know. It would be a good place for you to do your weapons thing too I think." Waiting a minute again before she went on. She needed to collect her thoughts on this before she spoke. She didn't want this to come out wrong. It was important to her though and she didn't want to make him mad. Make it seem like she was trying to hold him back or anything. She unhooked her arms from around his neck and folded her hands in her lap. Staring down at them as she started to speak again. A little more softly now. "I know you're not used to being tied down. Neither am I. And... Well... I don't want to be alone in this. I don't think I could handle it. I'm not saying I want you to stop hunting completely or anything really. But I don't want to be left behind. I mean... I know I can't actively hunt right now. But that doesn't mean that I couldn't come with you if you had to go out on the road for something. I could still hep with research and I could stay back in the motel while you did what you needed to do. Plus if we do the bar and you have your weapons business going. Maybe we could just cut back. At least while I'm pregnant and everything. I just don't want to be left to go through all of this by myself. I need you here for this with me." Jo kept looking down at her hands in her lap. Afraid to look at him. Scared that he would see that she was terrified. She took some deep breaths to try and keep herself under control and to fight back the tears she could feel starting to well up in her eyes. Her damn emotions were getting harder to control. She loved him more than she ever thought possible and she didn't want to ruin things by putting demands on him. But she couldn't bare the thought of him not being around. She didn't want him to think that he could set her up in a house, with a bar and she'd be happy while he went off hunting without her all the time.

As Jo moved on to his lap, Curse cradled her close and layed his cheek on the top of her hair. He was happy that she was taking the news so well but knew she probably didn't understand just HOW well off he was. It wouldn't fully set in until he showed her.
"Well, I think a house would be the first place to start. Maybe something in this neighborhood. I could ask Max if there is anything around that might suit us and then we can take a look at a few places. The idea of a place of our own... that sounds mighty nice to me. I always figured once I had a family I'd settle down and stay in one place. It just doesn't seem right to be moving a family around all the time."
Then, as she talked about her wants and fears, he found himself grinning a bit. Everything that came out of her mouth was the same thing he had been feeling. He wasn't about to walk away from his pregnant wife just to be out on the road hunting some creature that could get him killed at the drop of a hat. He didn't want his kid growing up without a father to play catch with or to go shooting with.
"Darlin, if its all right with you... I think that bar idea has a mighty nice ring to it. Honestly, the road was beginning to wear on me and it would be nice to have something to show for all the work I've done. If that is what you want, I'm game for it."
Then, pulled back so that he could look down at her, he smirked before continueing.
"Besides, now that I'm going to be a father.. I find I'm mighty anxious to make sure you do all those things pregnant woman do. The only thing I request though.. Lets not find out the baby's sex until the birth... I kind of like that old fashioned suprise."
Leaning down, he placed a soft kiss on her lips and tasted the warm melted chocolate that seemed to linger.
"Besides, how would I be able to tease you about becoming round if I'm half way across the country??"

JoJo held on tighter as Curse wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. His closeness comforted her and the news that they she wasn't going to have to stress herself worrying about money and a place to live eased her mind considerably. Letting her head rest against his chest she listened to him talk.
It brought a smile to Jo's face as he talked about finding a place in the same area as Max and Lexi. She didn't need much and she was glad that he wanted have a place for them to call home. Then she thought about it for a moment and looked up at him when she responded. "A place around here? In this neighborhood? This is pretty expensive you know? I don't need much, just a place of our own and I'd be happy. You know... To be honest... I've never lived in a regular house before... Ever. I mean, I grew up at The Roadhouse. We had living quarters there. They weren't bad or anything but it wasn't like having a real house, a home." Jo thought back to her years growing up there. She hadn't really thought of it as strange the place she grew up. But now, talking about having a house of their own to live in it seemed strange. It was a good thing, but still strange. Something else she was going to have to adjust to and get used to.
Starting to feel a little bit overwhelmed by the whole thing Jo continued to cling to her husband. Unaware that her arms wrapped around him were tightening even more. When he talked about the bar idea being a good one and him getting a little tired of the road her arms cinched a little tighter.
Quietly she sighed. Still feeling a little swamped with feelings and thoughts about everything. Then he started talking about being a father and she thought she heard a little tone of pride in his voice and she nodded her head before she spoke. "Yeah, I'd like it to be a surprise too. As long as it's healthy it doesn't matter to me if it's a boy or a girl. Speaking of things that pregnant women do, I need to find a doctor here and make an appointment." It was the beginning of June now and she was about ten weeks along now. She knew she needed to keep regular appointments. Jo started making a mental note to ask Lexi about that when Curse lifted her face up and kissed her gently and lovingly. All she could do was melt into it and pull herself closer to him. She was still feeling warm and happy when they broke away from the kiss. He looked down at her and spoke again. "Besides, how would I be able to tease you about becoming round if I'm half way across the country??" Her eyes widened a bit in a mock shocked look. Then she let the smirk crease her lips as she reached behind her and grabbed a pillow and popping him on the head with it then rolling her eyes at him. "Round? Round? I'll show you round pal. You better watch out you know. I can't be responsible for the raging hormones in my body." Jo laughed and then plunked him in the back with the pillow again before tossing it back on the bed. Smiling at him. Actually, she kind of looked forward to him teasing her a little bit about her belly. Imagining them both rubbing her belly trying to feel the baby kick. It still scared her a little the whole pregnancy thing, but she was starting to get used to it. It was a pretty amazing thing.

Grinning wickedly as his wife popped him with the pillow, Curse was glad to have this all out in the open. For the last week, they had been walking on eggshells around each other and neither one of them had been sure where to go from here. Now, though, maybe they could start making some plans.
"As soon as you feel better, we'll start looking for a place. I want a big yard though... White picket fence, dog and the whole nine yards. Wouldn't even mind a piece of land so that we can keep a horse or two.. I do miss being able to ride and I'd like to be able to teach our child how to."
Coming from a small town background with roots in agriculture, Curse definitely felt that was an important part of a kids life. City raised folk, in his opinion, tended to be more stuck up and lacking the common sense that country raised people had. Having been raised where things came by the sweat of ones own brow, the hunter wanted his child to have the same values. Even if they were wealthy enough not to have to struggle for survival, nothing in life came free. He hoped Jo wanted the same thing seeing as she had come for a small town, middle class background herself.
"After we find a house, you can take over decorating it however you like as long as you leave me a room I can have to relax in. You know.. without all the female frills and such. A man's gotta have a room thats all.. Manly.. You know.. With hunting gear, chick mags, whiskey bottle... You know the drill." he teased with a mockingly innocent smirk. "

JoJo was feeling so much better now, like a weight had been lifted. Snuggling up against Curse again as he started talking about the kind of house he wanted. Jo listened with increasing interest. He must have been thinking about this for awhile now. It sounded nice to her. More than she could have ever imagined having before. Grinning up at him as she spoke. "Yeah, well I am feeling better now. I like the sound of a place like that. You going to teach me how to ride too? I know it'll have to wait till I'm not knocked up anymore, but I still want you to teach me." It was starting to seem more real now. Talking about it with Curse, listening to him describe things. Funny how it seemed he was the one that had all this family stuff in his head. Jo hadn't really thought about it that much until she had met Curse and ended up married to him. She just had thought her life was going to be about hunting. Living on the road she hadn't really let people get close to her. She hadn't allowed herself to think of the future. Now it was all different.
Jo sighed contentedly as she thought about it. Listening again as Curse started again about the house. Telling her she could have full reign over decorating as long as he could have one room to call his own. She lifted her head up again a bit of a unsure look in her eyes. "Me decorate? A whole house? I think I might be more comfortable in your manly room. Minus the chick mags of course." Jo wondered idly if he'd share his manly room with her or if she'd have to get her own. Wondering where she was going to keep her knife collection. Suddenly thoughts of the baby popped into her head. Thinking now of how they would have to make sure everything was secured and locked up. They couldn't just leave weapons laying around with a baby. "Good Lord Curse, we're really going to have a baby aren't we?" The thought hit her like a semi-truck. Chewing on her lip nervously. Worried now, not about a place to live or how they could afford it but about becoming a mother. "What if I don't know how to be a mom? Or I turn out to be really BAD at it? What are we going to do?"

Laughing a bit, Curse hugged his wife.
"Darlin, you'll be a great mom. For all her faults, your mama raised you right and you have a level head on your shoulders. Besides, its not like there is a PERFECT parent... We're going to make mistakes and have to learn from them but that is part of the fun. Besides, at least with Lexi and Max having theirs first, we can laugh at their mistakes and learn from them!"
Smirking, the handsome hunter looped her up and got to his feet. Bouncing her a bit, he headed for the door and then set her down as he reached to open it. Giving her a good look over, he took in her color that was slowly coming back and grinned.
"If your really feeling that much better... how about we go find Max and see if he knows of any property for sale nearby? Its only around 2 ... We might be able to even go look at a few places....."
Kissing her quickly, he opened the bedroom door and hurried her out into the hall. Excitement fairly bounced off of him since he finally had something to do.
"The sooner we get a place, the sooner we can get away from the witch lady... Shes SCARY!" he said in a mockingly frightened voice.

JoJo sighed and wrapped her arms around Curse as he hugged her. Smirking a little as he tried to comfort her and convince her she'd be a fine mother. He seemed to be taking this all so well. Jo was glad that one of them was. It wasn't just being a mother she had to worry about. Everything right now was scary. She couldn't keep food down, feeling queasy all the time. More recently she had been feeling lightheaded a fair bit, which she had tried to keep to herself. Not wanting to worry her husband. He had a hard enough time with her being sick she didn't want to add that to his worries.
Perking up a little as he scooped her up she was glad he seemed happy. It made her happy and made her feel better. She loved it when he was playful which hadn't been often lately as he was worried about her. "If your really feeling that much better... how about we go find Max and see if he knows of any property for sale nearby? Its only around 2 ... We might be able to even go look at a few places....." Jo smiled back at him and nodded her head. He set her down and gave her a quick kiss and took her hand and pulled her along with him. It was good to see him excited about something. She walked quickly to keep up with him and he spoke as they moved down the hall. "The sooner we get a place, the sooner we can get away from the witch lady... Shes SCARY!" Jo laughed at that. Her husband, ex-Navy Seal, supernatural creature hunter, and he was uneasy around Lexi. She knew what had happened around the circumstances of their meeting, you'd think he'd have gotten over that by now. But, they loved to give each other a hard time any chance they got. It was almost like a sibling rivalry. Jo shook herself out of the thought still trailing after him as he moved quickly through the house. "Yeah, it will be great to find a place. I'm excited. You think we could find something with a pool? It's going to be hella hot here in the summertime."

Glad to lighten his wife's mood, Curse smirked and then pulled her along after him.
"Yeah, it will be great to find a place. I'm excited. You think we could find something with a pool? It's going to be hella hot here in the summertime."
Nodding his agreement, the hunter threw an arm around her shoulders. Not to long ago, the thought of a home and hearth would have scared the holy hell out of him. He hadn't really expected to get married or be waiting on the stork until he was middle aged and ready to put the dangerous work behind him. Now, however, all that had changed and he found that he wasn't nearly as upset about it as he suspected he really should be.
"Your wish is my command, Darlin. If you want a pool... You shall have a pool. I think its a good idea since this area stays warm almost all year long. As long as we are putting in requests... I think I would like a place where I can have a pool room. Maybe even a dart board or two. "
Giving her a playful grin, Curse wondered if he could convince her that pool tables were great fun for other things too.....

JoJo was glad to be up and doing something. Hoping it would take her mind off things. She had been thinking too much lately. Not that it wasn't justified, but it was nice to just be up and about. Smiling and laughing with her husband was nice."Your wish is my command, Darlin. If you want a pool... You shall have a pool. I think its a good idea since this area stays warm almost all year long. As long as we are putting in requests... I think I would like a place where I can have a pool room. Maybe even a dart board or two. " Smiling back at him she thought she saw a glint of mischief in his eyes. It was the kind of thing she loved about him. Not to mention he was just damn sexy too. She laughed out loud as she that brought up other thoughts and they definitely didn't have any problems in that area, as was evident by her current condition. They were quite compatible. She knew exactly what he was thinking about that pool table. "If you want a pool room, you got it darlin'. I just want you to be satisfied." Jo did her best to imitate his Texas drawl and couldn't help but laugh more. Jo gave him a little wink back and bumped him with her hip as they headed toward the door.
