Leo walked the streets of Graymore Pines with his hands tucked into his pockets. Even though he had lived in town for a couples month now he hadn't taken the time to truly explore the area. Instead of going out and about he stayed in his modest apartment or went to hang out with his brothers, glad that he was in the same complex as Charlie but lately Charlie hadn't been as available as much as he usually was and neither was Markus and though he could hang out with Aleah they didn't have a whole lot in common in terms of things to do. So, instead of bothering his siblings, he finally decided to explore while off from work, which also took up a lot of time, especially since Beck was investing in a whole housing development. Leo liked the work but he also knew he needed to do more things with his life. As he walked around town a tattoo shop came into view, making him stop in his steps with a slight frown, it looked a hell of a lot like the place he used to go to back home. Those memories bringing back thoughts of Cass, making his heart go a little taunt. He felt guilty about picking up and leaving without a word but it wasn't like they had agreed to be anything more than fuck buddies here and there but something about it...tugged at him and that tug brought him to the shop where he pushed open the door and looked around but froze when he saw the last person he thought he'd ever see again. "Cass?"

Leo looked back at Cass, feeling at a complete loss from her standing in front of him. "What...what are you doing all the way out here?" He asked, wondering what the hell brought her all the way here from Montana. For a moment he wondered if she followed him out here but instantly scoffed, he'd never told her where he was going or that he was leaving in the first place and it's not like he was that great of the person to follow or that anything deep between them happened to warrant something like this.

The more she spoke the more confused Leo got, he didn't understand why she'd leave her shop back home on a gamble out here and Marcy? How'd she know where he was? Unless she'd talked to Beck. Before he could ask any questions Cass rushed ahead, asking him about her office. "Oh, uh, sure." He replied, scratching the back of his head but her little smile had him further distracted. 

Leo followed Cass back towards her office, looking around the rest of the shop with curiosity and feelings of de ja vue but was snapped out of it when she suddenly turned to him, saying that she had something to tell him. He looked at her in confusion, "are you okay?" He asked, taking a small step forward, jumping to the worst conclusion that she had a terminal illness.

The second the word pregnant left her mouth all Leo could do was stare at her, whatever thoughts of terminal illness being replaced with images of a crying baby and mountains of diapers until it finally clicked. "Pregnant," he said softly, eyes trailing down to her stomach, "and...it's mine?" He asked, looking back up at her face.

"Wow..." Leo said softly, not sure what to say, he hadn't thought he'd ever be a father due to never being lucky in love with the exception of what casual relationship he had with Cass. "Cass...did you come here to find me because of that?" He asked, he wasn't mad about it or judging her, if anything he was...touched by that, if it was the case. She didn't have to come here, she could have just called him or not let him know at all but now...this was his chance to get better, do better. He could be there for his baby and be the kind of father he never thought he could be.

Leo looked up at Cass, shaking his head, "I want to be involved in everything," he told her in earnest, the drive to reach out and touch her, even though she wasn't showing, growing stronger but he didn't want to cross her boundary. Just because he was the father didn't mean that she'd want anything more with him. "I'll help out anyway I can, I have a steady construction job out here and I just have my car payment and rent so I'll set aside whatever I can for our baby."

Leo raised an eyebrow, "you came all the way out here without having a place to stay lined up?" He asked her, part oof him wanting to laugh and the other part made him want to shake his head at her. He wasn't going to talk to her about her decision making process, instead he took a breath, shaking his head. "My apartment complex might have an opening," he told her, "but...you can stay with me until you find somewhere? I have a second room, I just need to get a bed set up."

"Somehow I'm not surprised." Leo said with a shake of his head but was smiling a little. "That's more than enough time, I can get the room ready." And hopefully make sure it had enough space to fit furniture for her but also the baby, knowing it would be important for the two of them to be together even though the thought of not being with his baby in the night made him worry. "Did you bring anything from Montana?"

Leo gave a little shake of his head, "don't worry about that right now," he said softly, "I have the space and...and I want to be there, just take care of yourself and the shop and we can look at things later." He said, later to him meaning far after their baby was born. He wanted to provide stability and he was able to for once in his life and he wanted to. His father had always told him he needed to grow up, now he just had a reason to.

Leo just shook his head, "I'm the one who walked in here...but that's because it looked so much like the old place." He said as he looked around then shook his head, "we'll make it work out Cass,  don't feel rushed into anything, I just want to help and be involved." He told her honestly, reaching up and rubbing the back of his neck from nervous habit. "Just...my place is pretty bare, so don't judge it too much." He joked.

Leo half smiled, "I'm sure you can." He joked, thinking back to the few times he'd been to her house, though for the most part he was in her bedroom but it had all looked nice. "Um..." he looked around her office, a little at a loss but not wanting to end the moment, he...he missed talking to Cass and seeing her. "Have you eaten yet?"

Leo paused but a smile pulled at his lips, "of course Marcy's here," he joked, figuring it only made sense. The two were practically joined at the hip. "Well, if it isn't too much trouble...would you want to go get dinner with me? We can continue to catch up and can plan a little bit for the baby?" He asked, suddenly feeling a little nervous about asking her that.

"Of course, Marcy might as well be another one of my sisters." Leo joked, having pretty much grown up with her that it felt like she was...if he ignored her history with Beck, which he tended to. He looked over at Cass, nodding quickly, "of course, just tell me where to put it."
