Of course John isn't married, what is Marius...
*her eyes widened in realization and she grabbed pompoms and cheered marius on from the side.*
((so basically i love you. John severely needs an ass kicking.))

*Marius slung an arm companionably about John's shoulders.*
"You see that sweet young girl over there? Of course you do!"
*A moment later he had John by the throat and had planted a blow in his crotch.*
"Because you're going to damn well marry her at the nearest church I can drag you to!" *he hissed.*

*Eponine was about to scream and stop Marius, but she muffled herself. Wasn't this what she wanted? To marry John?*
"No, Marius." *She said, glaring at John and sitting tall.* "He's been nothing but adulterous and improper, and personally I should like to be rid of him. I can take care of one baby, two would be a little trying."

*Marius looked at her, perplexed.*
"But...you love him."

*Tears filled her eyes and she shook her head.*
"I thought... I thought... I thought that you.. that all of you were gone. He was there to comfort me, and unfortunately I let him. I'd like to move on now. He's nothing to me." *she said, standing up.*

((... I want to have your babies.))
John doubled over in pain and humiliation.
"I do not see what I've done to start a fight with you, sir," John spat. "But I'll damn well finish it!" He swung at Marius, hiting him in the ribs.
He whirled on Eponine.
"And what have I done to you?" He roared. "I offer to help raise our child and give you money, and this is how you repay me? By sending your new man to fight me?"

"You let him..."
*Marius looked at Eponine for a long moment, looking more confused than anything else. A moment later, he turned and walked out the door, pausing only a moment to lay a hand on John's shoulder.*
"My apologies, Monsieur. Evidently she knows her way around...and knew what she was getting herself into."
*He didn't even look back at Eponine as he disappeared out the door.*

John blinked.
"I've had enough of this," he said, before leaving for home.

*Eponine ran out the door after him and called his name into the street.*
"I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS GETTING INTO!!" *She screamed. to herself, she sobbed and sunk against the building.*
"I had no idea... no idea..." *she put her head in her hands. Just as she found him again, she had to lose him.* "And now Ponine is left alone, like it should be..." *she whimpered to herself, remembering the days she had led him to Cosette.*

"THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT, 'PONINE? WHY?"
*Marius screwed up his face in torment, or something. He hesitated a moment before he took her chin in his hand and tilted her face up to look at her in the eye.*
"You're smarter than that...than this..." *he said in a softer voice, confusion and disappointment evident in his tone.*

*She sobbed.* "Because... because..."
*She took a deep breath.* "I've only ever known rejection, and finally, someone wasn't rejecting me. I didn't want to lose that... and unfortunately now, it appears, I've lost any chance of acceptance with either of you, so it was entirely a waste."
*She bit back more sobs, threatening to put herself into total breakdown mode.*

*He laid his hand on her head for a moment before he crouched beside her and pulled her into his arms, cradling her like a child.*
"No...I'll take care of you, 'Ponine. I promise--I won't let you go again."
*He stood, still carrying her.*
"Come on, I'll take you home. Which way?" *he asked softly.*

*she sniffled, snuggling into him.*
"In the 1er Arrondissement, near the louvre..." *she yawned, shuddering from crying too much* "Renn should know..." *she quickly dozed off on his shoulder, tired form the fighting and being pregnant and all.*
((so i kind of love you.))

((Oh the wangst is not over, hon. Don't kind of love me too soon.))
"I'll tell her..." *he said, shouldering open the door to the cafe, catching the other girl's eye and nodding to Eponine. Renn appeared to understand, and Marius strode back into the street.*
