I see Anna start to sob as William comforts her like I have never seen him do it before. Her eyes fill so much that tears can no longer be contained in them and they start to roll down her fair cheeks. Big, thick tears begin to draw large, shiny streaks on her face, first one one the middle of her left cheek, then one on the inner corner of her right cheek, then another one on the middle of her right cheek, followed by another one on the outer corner of her left cheek.

I turn to look at Camilla, who already had tears in her eyes, and being as empath and sensitive as she is, I softly pat her quads and caress her inner thigh, telling her softly: "I think we should go comfort Anna, seems she is overwhelmed with the fear of losing this one too, I think it's too much for William to comfort her alone when he is going through the same."

I stand up and go to the other side of William, kneel besides Anna (she is sitting down), lean a hand on her quads for stability and bring my free hand to her cheek, wiping her hot, burning tears from her cheeks. I slowly swipe my thumb on the path of her outer cheek streak until I catch the tear, temporarily clearing the streak, then with the back of my index and middle fingers do the same with the tear streak on the middle of her cheek, going back to her outer cheek as another tear makes her way down.

I instinctively pat Anna's thigh trying to comfort her, unconsciously getting a little distracted as I feel it softly jiggle in my hand, telling her: "It's ok Anna, let out all your pent up emotions, including fear and uncertainty through tears, consciously feel all the fear get out of your soul through each tear, we are all here to support you and give you our love and whatever aid you need, don't feel bad for crying, if you need to cry more intense, don't refrain from doing so, William, Camilla and I will always be at your side when you need us most." I give her thigh another pat and comforting squeeze, standing up.

Tristan's POV:

Lisa hesitates but eventually accepts the hug, she breaks it too soon, I wish she had stayed in my arms longer. Still, she says she really appreciates my kind words and actions as she expects many unkind words and harshness towards them.

Melissa decides to invite us to lunch so we get to know each other better. I fight tears of relief with all my will, successfully pushing them back, I don't want to cry in front of Lisa, at least, not yet.
Lisa leaves, guess she is sensitive enough to know I need a time alone with my sister (I haven't hinted, at least consciously, anything).

Melissa sighs in relief and I stop fighting the tears, feeling them quickly getting my cheeks wet, as I leave them unchecked.

Anna's pov:

As I finished talking I could feel my emotions winning and finally beginning to completely overwhelm me. I felt thick, hot tears beginning to escape my eyes and start their decent down my cheeks. There were so many tears I couldn't tell where one started and one ended.

Through my sobs I heard Jarrod telling Camilla that he felt William may need some help comforting me as they could tell he was fighting emotions of his own. The next thing I knew I felt both Jarrod and Camilla wiping my tears delicately while William kissed them away. It was such an intense feeling of love and comfort that I began to feel even more overwhelmed with emotion as more thick, hot tears began racing down my cheeks. My face felt so wet I didn't even know if any individual tear streaks were even still visible.

After a few moments of comfort I finally finally heard Jarrod speak.He said it was ok for me to let my emotions go and cry as long and hard as I needed to. And that I shouldn't feel any negative emotions from crying as he and Camilla would support me and give me all their love during my difficult time. And that they'd always be by my side in my dfficult times.

"T-tank y-you." I managed to choke out through the last of my now fading sobs.

Emily's POV

I went out to the bin to put my rubbish in. After I had done this a girl's voice eagerly called my name

I closed my eyes. The one person I didn't want to meet had found me

'You've come back' Anna said, tears running down her cheeks as she gave me a hug 'It's so good to see you. Is your girlfriend here?'

My throat got very tight as I explained she wasn't because we'd broken up, because I had cheated on her

'I'm not the person you think I am' I told her tears streaming down my face. I wanted to say more but couldn't.

Anna looked devastated and as tears streamed down her face, I turned and walked towards my kitchen door. I walked through and paused to wipe my tears away

A pair of boots click clacked behind me and Anna took my hand. Eventually I turned towards her

'No babe, I can't be your girlfriend' I told her my eyes refilling with tears. 'I will cheat on you. I'll ruin everything'

Anna gently kissed me passionately on the lips

Anna thanks me for the comforting and supporting words as, finally, her seemingly endless river of tears start to subside. At one point there were so many thick tears that it was hard to identify individual streaks (it took three of us to take care of all her tears), I had never seen Anna cry so intense.

As I turn from Anna, I see Camilla with tear filled eyes to the brim and a single, thin tear streak on the middle of her left cheek, with a tear about to reach lip level. I slowly kiss her tear and brush my thumb from under her eye until the streak ends. I briefly turn back to William and Anna, seeing William's eyes sparkling with emotion and notice that Anna's breathing is finally getting normal. I reassuringly give one last soft pat to Anna's thigh, feeling its natural jiggle as I keep my hand there for a second, look in her eyes and softly tell her: "Never forget this words, we'll always be there for you, no matter what day it is, no matter what time it is, you can count on us for anything, there is nothing too small or insignificant. We love you".

I turn back to Camilla (since she is next to me), look in her eyes as I give her left outer thigh a reassuring pat (I almost forgot what I was going to tell her as I lower my eyes to see her perfect thigh jiggle in my hand): "Don't get sad my love, I'm sure they'll be fine, I'll try to get the best hospital for the baby to be born".

I get up and go back to my seat, waiting for Camilla to come and resume her experience...
