Pierre wasn't sure if his brother was going to behave, but he's always such a gentleman. Pierre was the monster growing up according to his brother but he loved his brother his whole life, it's only his parents that never cared for him. They were inseparable and they were the best of friends until his wife died and his brother started to act a little strange but he just could never have put his finger on it why he was acting that way. Maybe he would find out eventually.
"Well, I can say the same... And nobody here calls me Tony, it's Pierre..."
Pierre just lifted his eyebrow as his brother apologized for him not introducing him, but that wasn't his job to do it. And his day started off so interesting.
"Excuse me... Sorry... uhm Michelle this is my younger brother John... And John this is Michelle... She's a very close friend of mine, she's like a daughter to me..."
John gave Pierre the yeah right look and he just shrugged... As John turned around Pierre just gave Michelle a OMG look and he looked away.

Michelle watched as Pierre and John exchanged pleasantries. They looked completely oblivious to the fact that she was standing right there. Michelle smiled at the fact that Pierre looked so excited to see him and for a moment she wondered how they knew one another. She looked a little closer and sure enough there was a strong resemblance between the two. Were they related?
Suddenly John stuck out his hand towards Michelle and she carefully extended her own, expecting him to only shake her hand when suddenly he kissed her hand gently, something Lancelot had done when they met. They were sure related! Shock was evident on her face and she gave a small step back and protectively touched her belly.
He then said Michelle should excuse Tony since he wasn't good with introductions and that his name was Johnothan Marcoux. So there was a fami;y resemblance? Wait did he just call Pierre Tony? He asked her who she was but Pierre thankfully rescued her and introduced her to his brother. Michelle looked over at Pierre with wide eyes, her gaze telling him that she was a little creeped out right now. Even Pierre looked out of his comfort zone and so Michelle only smiled and relaxed outwardly,
"Pleased to meet you John..."

John could see that the girl is a bit uncomfortable and he wondered why. It's not like he was going to hurt her or something. But he could sense a bit of unwelcome, but he was going to leave soon. Tony introduced the girl as Michelle and he was pleased to meet her just as she was to him. He should go, he have a lot of things to do. Marcellia is number one on his list right now.
"Well... I'm going to be on my way now. It was nice meeting you Michelle, see you around Tony..."
John shook Michelle's hand and nodded to Tony and he walked away.

Pierre could see Michelle was a bit uncomfortable, his brother wasn't the one to make people uncomfortable. So he frowned and Michelle said she's please to meet him and his brother announced that he had a lot of things to do and said goodbye to Michelle and nodded to Pierre, and called him Tony.
"I'm not Tony, it's Pierre...!"
John gave Pierre the whatever gesture and he left. Pierre looked back at Michelle and he sighed of relief and he he relaxed internally and outward.
"I'm sorry about that Michelle... John can be a interesting guy, but he's not a bad guy. He's really my opposite, or the opposite of the person you don't know now... I haven't seen him in a long time... I don't know what he's doing here... Or what he wants..."
What was he doing here, who was he looking for... It might get interesting.
"Are we going to continue shopping or what?"

Finally Pierre asked if they were going to continue shopping and Michelle smiled widely, staring only a moment longer at John as he walked away. She shook her head, almost breaking the spell he had put on her and turned back to Pierre and said,
"Yes please... but... I don't know how to say this. Pierre, you've been a parent before. Where do I start? I feel like a fool to have to ask you but I have no one else really right now..."

Pierre looked at Michelle as she asked him what he should do and he shrugged and just looked at her. He wasn't really a parent, he can try to help her but that will just be a interesting experience himself.
"You don't look like a fool... Well I think we start at the beginning, is it going to be a boy or a girl... Secondly we start getting you baby furniture and then there after diapers, and then there after clothes..."

Michelle smiled when Pierre said she didn't look like a fool. He then laid it out like a professional, asking firstly if it was a girl or a boy and then mentioning what else must be done. Michelle giggled and said,
"You have to guess, do you think it's a girl or a boy?"
She hooked into his elbow again and guided him back towards the babies 'R Us shop and walked right in.

Pierre started to laugh when Michelle said that he had to guess what the gender of the baby is and he wasn't sure what to decide so he just went with his gut feeling and said to her.
"I'm going to take the wildest guess in the world and say... Girl?"
She then hooked into his arm and taken him to the baby store they passed earlier and Michelle went into the store without a problem. Pierre started to protest...
"Come on... Michelle, I thought you didn't want to go in there..."
Pierre sighed when he saw the look on Michelle's face and rolled his eyes and said.
"Fine... We can go in there... Where shall we start? You can choose whatever, you want to..."
Pierre started to laugh as Michelle pulled him further into the store, he saw a lady looking at him with puppy eyes and she made the "aww cute" face and he growled at her and she grabbed her stuff and walked away.

Pierre played along and guessed that her baby would be a girl and Michelle giggled and patted his arm in congratulations and smiled up at him,
"You're right. It's going to be a girl."
She was dragging him back into the baby shop and now he was the one protesting but she didn't listen to any of his complaints and turned to him and crossed her arms across her chest,
"What did you think we were going to shop for? Christmas presents? Lingerie?"

Pierre just stared at Michelle as she crossed her arms and he started to laugh when she asked if what he thought they were going to was christmas shopping and Pierre just shook his head and he grabbed her hand and walked to the clothes section and said to her.
"Ok, take whatever you like, I'm not going to act like a grumpy husband or something, because I'm not... I'll do whatever it is you like..."
He bowed to her like a king and he couldn't believe he got himself into this... But he just had to suck it up and go with it... He wanted this so it's kind of his own fault, but what was really bothering him is his brother... Who was he looking for and why? He is going to find out why and who...

This time it was Pierre's turn to be pulling on Michelle and they stopped in front of the clothing section. Michelle's eyes roamed over the many rows and she didn't even know where to start. For the first time ever she was confused and lonely, more alone than she has ever been. She wasn't brave enough to admit it, but she missed Lancelot terribly. She wanted to go through this with him more than anything but she was afraid of hurting him. She missed him terribly but she had oppressed her memories of him, desperately trying to forget the pain that ripped through her heart. Right now Michelle put that lid on again and tried not to think about it and turned her attention back to the here and now. She touched the soft clothes and looked at Pierre as her emotions overwhelmed her. Tears slipped down her cheeks and she spoke the truth for the first time in months,
"Pierre I am so lost. All I can think about is how bad I miss Lancleot and how much I wished he could have been the one taking me for this shopping. Look I have no problem with you, i just miss him soooo much and I don't know what to do."
For the first time in her life Michelle no longer wanted to be strong. She just wanted to break down right here and right now, but she didn't. Only one tear fell and she turned her gaze tot he ground...

Pierre could see something is wrong with Michelle and when she turned around his heart broke for Michelle, she said she feels lost and that she wanted Lancelot to be the one in his place, shopping here with her. Pierre could understand how Michelle feels. A tear slipped from her eyes and she looked to the ground, Pierre then suddenly embraced Michelle and he just held her tightly against his chest, like a dad would for his daughter. Pierre stood strong and he really wanted to cry with Michelle, but he just couldn't...
"It's gonna be all right Michelle... I'm here for you, I really don't want to see you this broken... Your heart yearns for Lancelot yet you seize to see him... Michelle I really care for you and I love you, truly as a daughter and I don't mean anything bad when I say it... But please... I really want you to make a decision, do you want to go to Lancelot or not? You are going to have to look into your heart... I mean really look inside and see what you want... I have an answer to your question... 'How can I go back to Lancelot, after I've hurt him so much?' The answer is that you can go to him, people change... People forget about pain when they see those they love... People are willing to give anything to have this chance that you have... Please, Michelle..."
He let her go and looked away from her, a tear rolled down his cheek... He wiped it away before anybody saw it.

Pierre suddenly pulled Michelle close and held onto her. She loved being so close to him and it felt like he was a real father to her, the kind of father she never had and she softly touched his cheek. He told her that he hated to see her this broken and that in truth her heart yearned for Lancelot. She cringed at this thought but he kept talking. He said her she had to make a decision. He said that she had to go back to him and not worry if she was hurting him or not and that Lancelot would feel better the moment he could see her.
Pierre stood back and Michelle drew back as well. She wiped her own eyes dry and turned towards the clothes. She touched it and suddenly changed the subject,
"Which one do you like the most?"

Pierre was not going to change the subject, not now... Not ever, his heart was hurting and he had to get it out of his and her system. She seemed to want to seem strong but he knows deep down she didn't want to be strong always, she had to talk about it some time. Pierre was going to get her to talk, one way or another.
"Michelle.. Don't change the subject. Please talk to me, I really need to know what is going on. I can't understand what is going on if you don't talk to me. Please, this is hurting you and I can't handle it anymore... I'll do anything, truly anything you ask... Please just don't do what did right now... I'm begging you..."
Pierre's eyes started to fill with tears and he wasn't going to look away this time and he frowned and crossed his arms. He wasn't going to move from this spot until she started to talk.

Pierre didn't look all too happy when Michelle changed the subject and she wondered why. She avoided his gaze, staring at the rows of clothes before her. She fought the onslaught of tears, trying her best to be strong but she knew it wouldn't last forever. When he spoke he sort of demanded her to not change the subject. He wanted to know what was going on and he seemed to ask nicely enough and Michelle sighed. He said that he could see it was hurting her and he couldn't handle it anymore and here Michelle had to frown. When he begged her to not do this to him she turned to him and softly touched his cheek,
"Where's the sense in this, Pierre? If I break down in front of you and confess everything, what good will it do?"
Pierre's eyes started to fill with tears and Michelle turned back to the racks of clothing and sifted through it, doing anything she could to avoid those heart breaking eyes...
