Heading inside Angelica wondered how she was going to explain her situation without it all getting too messed up. Her parents hadn't been able to give her any help on how to proceed so Bella was basically her last hope before she had to tell the children anyway. Something which Angelica dreaded deeply having no idea how they all would react or feel to the news.
Craig had say in one of the chairs in front of Miss Greingoth's desk at this point and looked rather interested at what Angelica had to say. And of all the questions she had to ask him it was about him having experience with children and at that his face went ghastly white. That was another point of discussion he was hoping to have with his boss.
"I don't exactly have experience with children..." he paused and said under his breath,
"...yet." He could feel the wrinkle in his forehead the one he got when he was really nervous. But he tried to brighten up the situation a bit and began to laugh.
"Well, unless you consider me a child myself, cause my mum practically reminds me everyday that I haven't grown up quite yet." He smiled widely. But, despite his lack in child rearing he was very interested in what Angelica's topic of children. After all, he would need all the information he could get at this point on the subject.

"I'm a bit tired from the wedding, but now that Anna and Cale are all settled in and married, I'm just trying to regain some normalcy." She laughed lightly, then grew serious again when Angelica said she needed to talk. Here eyes traveled from Angelica to Craig then back again. "Please explain, Angelica. You know I'm here to listen as a boss and as a friend."
"And I am hear to listen as a humble fellow co-worker whose deepest concerns are with his fellow employees," Craig said trying to sound comforting.
"Perhaps we can all learn a little from each other." He turned to Angelica,
"I know this must be personal, but if you would like a male point of view on the matter I am all ears and whatever is said here I hope it remains behind these office doors."
