His ears peaked at the thought of her thinking that she was selfish. Turning to her he stared straight into her eyes. "You aren't selfish Cissy, not in any way." He'd never meant a statement as much as he meant that one.
It was interesting looking into those piercing eyes of hers. His best friend eyes. Gabby had become needy and possessive the last year, Bella had just.....always been somewhat odd....but Cissy was there and together with who she was. She didn't need anyone's approval yet she cared if someone hated her, it was a strange mixture if you thought about ti.
"You're the most amazing person I've ever known and ..." Realizing that he didn't want to screw upt he one friendship he held on to Corbin pulled away from her, staring still into those eyes. He felt himself sweating slightly as he looked up and down the corridor. "I'm going to....Emmaline..." He said quietly, not wanting Cissy to think he was abandoning her...but how could he let her know that hers was the one thing he couldn't be because he wasn't willing to lose her too?

Cissy would have faught against his statement... She was pretty sure she was selfish. But judging by his expression and tone, he was completly serious. And she wouldn't argue with that.
Narcissa met his gaze with a soft grin, hoping he knew she was always there for her. She was. No matter what had happened with Corbin, his kids, and his relationships, Cissy was here for him. She had stayed the same... her values, dreams, plans, personality... everything. She would stay the same, and she would continue to be here for him.
She shook her head as he proceeded to complement her. "Not even." She added with a smile. "Just know I'm here no matter what happens. Obviously... And I've always been here, for everything." She finished, surprised at his sudden reaction.
"Oh.. okay." She smiled, standing up also and pulling her purse around her shoulder. "I can come... If you want. Or not.." Cissy finished, noticing he was acting a bit different.

Stopping he felt his stomach knot at itself, knots on knots. "You can come if you want..." He said to her, looking at her with mroe honesty in his expression than he'd ever looked at anyone. How could it be that she didn't see what he was seeing? The most amazing woman he'd ever met and he couldn't even allow himself to let her know.
"I want to see her without Gabby wanting to kill me.." He whispered, scared he'd never get a chance to raise his daughter.

Cissy nodded, standing up with him. "Shall we?" She asked with a smile, though things didn't seem right. She could read his expression... The familiar face, though it was slightly different. Though it seemed hard to believe, this was new to Cissy. He seemed.... Happy.
"If you want we can just talk for a while... You seem..." Cissy paused with a puzzled expression. Shaking it off, she shrugged.
"Don't get your hopes up." Cissy joked, reffering to Gabby and the baby. "She wont want to see you around for a while. But that doesn't mean you cant see your child." She finished, placing a reassuring hand on his leg.

Pressing one hand against the glass Corbin felt something in him break. He knew after today it'd be a long time coming before he saw his daughter again. Gabby was too stubborn...and selfish in many ways, for him to get a chance. Bella had understood what he went through in some ways, he'd raise dthe girls for several years before Bella could totally gain control of herself. "That's my baby Cissy....and I can't be her dad..." He whispered, pain encompassing him.

Cissy looked up at Corbin, her expression serious and her eyes narrowed.
"Listen to me Corbin." She added before continuing.
"You love that baby as much as she does. And theres no way in hell she can take it away from you. You will be a part of that childs life, okay? I promise you Corbin, you will be there for your daughter. Even if I have to step in. Your baby girl needs you just as much as you need her..."

"My other baby girls are all grown up." He laughed. "All their hallmark shit is ... grown up." He teased her, for some reason it was easier to be optimistic of the impending situation when he was with Cissy. He wasn't sure why but it was. "Thank Cissy," Wrapping an arm around her shoulders he kissing her cheek, brushing the corner of her lips before pulling himself from that part of her, still staring at his daughter.

Cissy nodded, hugging him. It was true... He would be there for the baby. Fact. Gabby couldn't and wouldn't do this to him...
"Grown up, yeah. But still little girls." She laughed, thinking of the twins. Grown up indeed...
"Don't thank me. Thats all I'm here for, right?" Narcissa grinned, resting her head on his chest.

"One of my sixteen year old daughters is a mother...they're both with men older than me....not grown up? I feel old." He laughed, pulling her close and squeezing her shoulder, remembering one of their more memorable fights.
"She fucked all the hogwarts boys....." He said angrily. "It's not a problem...I do love her cissy. I do. I love her like a man loves the mother of his children. I will get over gabby. I will god dammit!" HE yelled, standing up and punching the wall hard, feeling two fingers split and the wall crack slightly he ddnt' care. He punched it again. "How the f*ck do I take of them!? Huh Narcissa?! How the f*ck do I raise kids when I raised myself and how do I make Bella happy like she deserves?! Tell me f*cking how because i'm at a loss!" She stared at him as he punched the wall. "I told you to sit the f*ck down Corbin." She said, rising from her seat. "What if your kids were here Corbin. Think about what you're doing. Stop and think. You're a great dad Corbin. Real f*cking great." She looked to Bella, noticing her stir just a tad. "What if she woke up to that Corbin?" She asked again, pissed off.
"Don't try and convince me you love her. Yeah, Bella's a whore. We know. Gets a little old Corbin. You love her like a man loves the mother of his childen. Thats not love Corbin. Thats caring for her. You care about Bella. You don't love her." She knew it was making him mad. She didn't care.
"Don't give me shit about your life Corbin. You raised yourself, whatever. You know nothing about what Bella and I have been through. Yeah, we cover it up real f*cking well. You don't know shit." She paused, watching him punch the wall again. "You don't give Bella what she deserves. You can't. No matter how hard you fake it. You don't feel for her the way you should. So I'm at the loss Corbin. You don't know how hard this is for me to sit and watch. I listen to my sister cry herself to sleep every night. She is my big sister. The one i've always looked up to. She's my best friend. Her hurting kills me. And you know who's doing it? You." She stared him down, her eyes glowering up at him.

"Not really." She smiled with a shrug. "But they got their mother's jeans." Cissy finished, wondering why he was so deep in thought. Whatever it was brought a smile to his face...

"you remember our first really huge fight, right after Dante and Bella foughT?" He asked her, unsure if she did or not. He hadn't been that scared til recently when he'd lost his son and gained another daughter.

"Oh god." Cissy laughed, shrugging. "I'm sorry.... I yelled at you pretty bad. I was so upset... I remember it well." She finished, glancing at his scars with a smile.

"My hand hurt for awhile..one time one of the girls squeezed it so hard it popped the splint." He laughed, remembering the moment when tears bit at him as Addy laughed with her sister and mother at him. That'd been a happier time. How had it come to this?

Cissy laughed, tracing the scar.
"I can imagine." She finished with a smile. As soon as they had stopped yelling, it was dead silent. This made Cissy chuckle... It had gotten pretty intense back then.
The funny part was that directly after, they had hugged and wrapped themselves around eachother.

"Strange how we always seemed to fit in those situations, scream then make up." He laughed at the idea. Pinching the bridge of his nose he put his forhead against the glass, staring still at the little girl wrapped in pink.
