Here is the latest chapter of "House of Pullip", please enjoy reading. :D
Chapter 329: You Wouldn't
Jonas: What do I do, Rayna? What Grace wants…I’m just not sure I’m ready for it.
Rayna: Let me get this straight…Grace loves you, she wants to marry you, spend the rest of her life with you, and she wants to have your babies…and you don’t know what to do?
Jonas: Well, if you put it like that…
Rayna: It’s not rocket science, Jonas. This is way less complicated then you are making it.
Jonas: You don’t understand…this is a huge decision to make and I’m just not sure I’m ready.
Rayna: You’re afraid, admit it. It’s not about being ready, it’s about taking a risk…and let’s face it, Jonas, you’ve never been much of a risk taker.
Jonas: Come on, it’s not like you are in a big hurry to get married, are you?
Rayna: I’m not in a hurry, no. But I haven’t ruled it out either.
Jonas: You wouldn’t marry Nicholai if you asked you…
Rayna: *is thoughtful* Well…if I’m being honest with you and myself I have to admit if Nicholai asked me right now, which I know he won’t, I’d probably say yes.
Jonas: *incredulously* Why?
Rayna: Because I love him, you dope! Why else do you think? And I’m not against marriage like you seem to be.
Jonas: I just…don’t get it.
Rayna: Maybe you should try to get it.
Jonas: Do you, you know, want to have children, too?
Rayna: I don’t see why not. I used to not think so, I mean I never even knew my own parents. They just…abandoned me to be raised by pirates for all I know, so I used to be afraid of making some horrible kind of mistake like that if I were to have a child.
Jonas: But now?
Rayna: Maybe I can have the chance to do better then my own parents did. I made my own life better without them, why can’t I do the same for a child? I can give them love I never had when I was young. There’s something very…appealing about having the chance to do that someday.
Jonas: You are giving me a lot to think about.
Rayna: I hope so. And...there’s something you should know…
Jonas: What?
Rayna: Nicholai asked me to go away with him to South America. We could be gone for a few years…and I’m thinking of going.
Jonas: Wow.
Rayna: Yeah. But it sounds like fun…and it would be nice to get closer to Nicholai.
Jonas: I’d miss you.
Rayna: I’d miss you, too! But I’m not sure yet, I just wanted you to know.
Rayna: But for now I’m here for you and I think you shouldn’t give up so quick on what Grace wants. Please think about it more before you do something you’ll regret later?
Jonas: I will. I promise.
To be continued...
I had a lot of fun writing the dialogue for this chapter. :P Rayna isn't feeling terribly sympathetic to Jonas's position, as you can tell. But there's a lot we can learn about Rayna in this chapter, actually. To refresh a very distant past plot, Rayna is a former pirate, raised on a pirate ship (she was originally a Rovam, heh) and she never knew her parents.
I was having a little fun with my three Lati yellow girls today and here is the cute silliness I came up with:
Yeah... ;)
I haven't gone the Pullip Style forum in ages. So I logged in yesterday and the first thing I chose to read was some really rude comment one person made to another. *eye roll* I left and completely remembered why I stopped going there in the first place.
Also, there's another Houston BJD meet tomorrow but I'm not going. I was thinking of going but wasn't feeling really into it after the last meet (which was a fine meet but I still feel a bit like an outsider because of my age and the specific BJDs I collect). Then something came up so I'm not going anyway and I'm not that upset by it. In some ways I'm not wild about a lot of the Houston BJD crowd. I mean some people will come and say, "Oh, the meet sounds fun but I can't go," and a lot of people will write back saying, "We're sad you won't be there," and "We'll miss you, please come next time," etc. When I posted that I wouldn't be coming...I didn't get a single reply. I was just ignored although I know my post was seen because my name was struck off the list of attendees. It's SO nice to know I'll be missed. I know it's stupid but I'm not too keen on going to any meets around here at all again and it's disappointing because I was hoping I might make friends, or one friend, who likes to collect dolls like me. But that's fine, I have my online friends and that's enough!
Never mind my stupid pity party...have a nice weekend! :D
