Micah got a beer from the fridge uncapping it with a small sigh and a chuckle. Although they very much looked alike and thought alike in many aspects, Viola was certainly the most assertive out of the two of them. “We’ll be seeing 40 soon enough Vi, maybe you can hold off the grays until then?” He joked with a small wink before plopping down on his lazy boy chair, holding the beer by it’s neck and taking a long swig, feeling immediately satisfied. “Let’s just say that there was a hell lot more action when I was in weekly physical therapy, although Mrs. Kowalski always has freshly baked cookies every time her cat gets trapped in that damn tree in front of her house,” he rolled his eyes while patting his stomach, “still freaks me out she shares a last name with that one-eyed green monster from Monster Inc. Anyway, tell me more about the douchebag?”

“Hey fresh cookies are a pretty good job benefit, I never get that. Also isn’t Wazowski his name? I thought Kowalski was like the old woman with the glasses or whatever. Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t want to tell you more because then I would be giving him too much attention. I just know that he’s gonna piss me off a lot in the near future so I’m just preparing myself for it.” She shrugged, knowing that her job rarely gave her peace but she didn’t love it any less. She knew she was making a difference and that made her feel better than anything. “I’m getting closer to getting a dog though, you wanna go to the shelter with me this weekend? If you don’t have a hot date of course.”  She laughed at her own words before taking another large gulp of her wine. “Did you at least follow up with the girl I set you up with?”

Location: Highland Park With: Viola ( @wpbaes​ )

“Oh my god, I think I’m going to pass out,” Georgie breathed out as she slowed to a stop, bending over and gulping down air as her heart raced against her rib cage. As part of her recovery, Georgie had been attempting to work out every time she thought about getting a drink so she could find healthier ways of coping with her stress. Jogging seemed to be the easiest way to do that, but now that she was deep into it, the pain in her lungs was telling her that probably wasn’t true. She probably shouldn’t have stopped right in the middle of the jogging path, but she wasn’t entirely focused on the inconvenience of it all in that moment until she heard another pair of footsteps coming on quickly. “Sorry, sorry,” she murmured, waving the person to move around her as she stepped off to the side.

Viola stayed on a pretty strict workout schedule and she was currently in training for her next marathon. Working out had always brought her a sense of stress relief. In high school it had been track and field and basketball that kept her active but during law school it had been carving out time to head to the gym or running around the indoor track that helped her stay on course and in a good state of mind. Well as good as it could be. Moving to Willow Park made it no different and she was on the last leg of her run when she almost ran into the woman in front of her who had stopped shot. The closer she got, the easier it was to recognize  the woman in front of her and she was pretty surprised when she pulled her wireless headphones out and offered a soft smile. “You alright? You seem like you might pass out. This your first time out here?” She laughed softly, not making fun of her but not trying to seem too alarmed. “How about I walk you to somewhere you can sit down, hm? Put your hands on your head like this,” she said and rested her hands on her head before breathing in deep, “It’ll help you breath easier, bending over like that just constricts your lungs.”

“Oof I’m sorry,” Hannah said as she plopped down the couch after spending the last twenty minutes attempting to make her son take his afternoon nap. There was still a lot of things she needed to learn from Theo, but it had been a blast taking care of him and stepping into a role she waited her whole life to fulfill. It didn’t matter that she had not given birth to him, the pregnancy part, although she was sure to be special, was also small compared to the feeling it gave her every time that he called her mommy. It was also weird, but mostly because after what had happened with Jared, she stopped believing in nice things for herself for a while. He was also getting wonderfully along with his new aunts. It took some sort of adjustment, but they were finally getting to the place where he didn’t take a few minutes before being a kid around them and it meant the world that her sisters had gracefully stepped into aunthood wholeheartedly. “Where were we? Oh yes…” she smiled, “Pops birthday is coming up and I was thinking that maybe we should do something special to him and also invite that old lady that lives close to him? What’s her name… Miss Helen? I can’t remember, but I do know I saw him exchanging looks with her and it was the cutest thing in the whole world,” she chuckled and shook her head, refilling her glass with water.

“Don’t be sorry, Theo is stubborn, means he’s a Cooper.” If anything her nephew had been a godsend, not only for them but for Hannah who desperately needed some happiness and normalcy in the years following Jared’s death. It was like for the first time in a while where they felt like things were getting back on track, where it was clear that her older sister was in a good place. “Wait are you saying that Miss Helen and Pops are getting freaky?” Ella’s exicitement shot up and she wiggled her eyebrows. “Miss Helen is super dope, I’ve had tea over at her house before and she spiked it so she’s okay in my book. And Pop could use that kind of excitement, you know?” She stretched her legs out to put them in Dianna’s lap before she leaned back on the couch a bit. “I think we should give him a sports themed party, I can try to see if any of my slightly famous friends can get some celebrity athlete to show up, Maybe we can ask Bull to pull some strings or Georgie Banks?”  @bexutifulghosts·

“In other words, we would absolutely love if you came to Pasadena for Christian’s death’s one year anniversary, he loved you more than life itself and we have no doubt you were the last thought to linger on his mind before his soul took passage to another realm,” Cassandra was doing her very best to keep it together as she read the printed out e-mail from her former future in-laws. They could have called, but no. They wanted a response too. Something she wasn’t so sure she was willing to give now. Bringing the joint back to her lips, Cassie took a deep drag, holding the smoke in her lungs to maximum effect. It had been almost a year since she had said her goodbyes to California and she wasn’t keen on returning, especially if it meant she needed to come face to face with Connor. “Fuck this,” she said as soon as she breathed out the smoke with a few coughs, her head shaking as she handed the paper to her best friend, maybe she wanted to read the rest, Cassie couldn’t read it to her. “I mean, what the fuck am I supposed to do? Say hell no?”

Ella was quiet as she listened to Cass read the letter out loud, knowing it wasn’t easy for her to do so. She easily took it, her own joint hanging from her lips as she read the end of it. “Jesus, I mean...what do you want to say?” She cleared her throat and sat up a bit, grabbing her lighter to relight the joint that had gone out. It was a lot to take in and in the past year they had both struggled but Ella knew it was nothing compared to what Cass was feeling. Still, in that year her own engagement had ended, despite it not being as tragic, Ella and Cass’s apartment had become heartbreak central and they had both been trying to move on in their lives in their own way. “I mean if you go I’ll go with you,” she offered without hesitation and flicked some ash off the side of the balcony before folding up the letter and sliding it into her pocket. “You don’t have to say anything right now. I mean if you need me to call them I can..I can do that.”

“Nicer terms… Definitely would have loved to been a fly on the wall for that,” Willa laughed, settling back against the bench and looking across the way at the kids. She was always glad when there was someone she knew there at the park because it gave her someone to talk to without providing as much of a distraction as checking her phone did, so she could still keep an eye on Cecilia. She was a well behaved little girl all things considered, but she did have a rambunctious streak where she’d get a little too rough and she didn’t want any of the other kids getting hurt because of it. “Sleep is definitely not happening right now with Cece’s current rebellious streak, but we’re good overall. I feel like I’m still trying to get back into the swing of coaching again after the holidays, but I’m finally getting there two months later. What about you? Did you do anything special for Valentines Day? I imagine with a marketing company, you’re probably incredibly busy around every holiday…”

“Yeah? Who knows, you may have a boxer on your hands,” he teased. “Yeah I think the whole year is just recovering from the holidays. We always have so much family time it can be overwhelming. Valentine’s Day is pretty busy for us, yeah. We had tons of ads going  out on the air, tons of social media campaigns were were overseeing, I even got to be in one of our commercials for our contract with Coca-Cola. That was pretty cool. I don’t know, I’m not really an anti valentine’s guy. But man is it tiring. Kind of cute though, hearing all the stories about people in love.” He shrugged, not having felt that way in a long time about anyone. His future with his high school girlfriend had always seemed the most certain, until she left to the other side of the country. And Christian’s mother had never meant to be a long term thing but now he had a piece of her with him all the time. He still hadn’t gotten into a habit of dating as a single parent. “Did you do anything special? I’m sure there’s someone in your life sending you flowers, right?”

Sofia had been able to finally preform the song she had been working on the last few weeks with Ella, and now that she had actually preformed it she was on such a performers high - that mixed with the all the alcohol that she had consumed that night Sofia had to admit that she was feeling pretty good. All she wanted to do was be by Andy’s side, and it took everything in her not to tell the drunk guy hitting on her earlier that night to fuck off. 

“Have you ever tried cooking when drunk?” Sofia asked as she took a seat on one of the bar stools that Andy had in the kitchen, and grinned when she saw them holding out a glass of water to her. “I have, and I did not burn down the kitchen - but I did burn my noodles. Not fun. We can order a pizza? Then probably crash after that.” She couldn’t help the small chuckle that left her mouth at the thought, but she gladly accepted the water and took a large gulp before sitting it on the counter.  

“I have tried it and I don’t recommend it, I really like my house, I don’t want to burn it down,” they joked, drinking half of the cup of water before letting out a low breath. “Wow, drinking really makes you feel like you ran a marathon or something. Jesus.” They pulled out their phone to order something and moved to take a seat right next to Sofia, knocking their knee against hers for a moment. “You really were super kickass out there today. You looked like you were having so much fun.” 

They let the silence wash over them for a moment, just sipping from their glass as he they selected what they wanted to order before setting their phone aside. “Okay, food is on the way, now we wait and try not to fall asleep,” they added with a laugh, smiling softly over at Sofia. In all honesty they couldn’t really stop thinking about the last time they were like this, the way Sofia had kissed them and Andy found themselves wishing it would happen again but not sure how to even begin to voice that. “I uh..honestly I thought you were maybe gonna go home with that guy who was hitting on you.”

Location: Xiomara’s penthouse condo With: Shawn ( @wpbaes· )

Xio pulled the sizzling pan of fajita filling off of the heat and proceeded to heat up a few tortillas over the gas range before turning it off. “If you want something to drink, I have a few things in the fridge, but I can’t guarantee you’ll like any of it,” she remarked as she grabbed plates for the both of them, slapping a few tortillas onto one and handing it over to him. Though Xio had rarely had to cook for herself back home, moving here she had to recall all of the cooking lessons she’d gotten back when she was young and would sneak into the kitchen to watch their private chefs making their food for them. On nights like this, they especially came in handy, since she knew Shawn would hold up his end of the bargain so long as she held up hers, and fajitas were one of the easier things she could slap together last minute. “Why’d you skip lunch? Too busy with class or something?”

There was somewhere deep in the back of his mind that was endeared by the sight of Xiomara moving around the kitchen, clearly knowing what she was doing. He mumbled a thanks as she gave him the plate, his stomach turning a bit at the smell, signifying just how hungry he had been. “Yeah had an exam then a meeting with a professor then a few things for my internship.” In reality he just hadn’t had any money in his pocket to pay for lunch and he refused to touch anything in his savings since it was the one thing that actually kept him any kind of afloat. His checking account on the other hand was pathetic, especially after her had submitted a rent payment for the shitty apartment he was trying to keep. Though the landlord had different ideas. Still, he felt no need to tell Xio any of that and instead just took a hefty bite of his food, an actual smile appearing on his face as he did. “This shit is good,” he managed to get out through another bite, reminding himself to not scarf it all at once. “Or maybe I just knew you’d cook for me,” he added with a soft laugh, catching her waist as she moved back him so he could pull her close and press a kiss to her neck when he had finished his bite. “Thank you,” he mumbled again, another kiss on her neck before he let her go. “You’re gonna eat too, right? Feel weird sitting here by myself. What’d you get up to today?”

Location: Highland Park With: Simon ( @wpbaes​ )

“Cece! No running!” Willa called out to her little girl as she darted off to meet up with her friends over on the playground. Though they had only lived in Willow Park for a few short months, she was grateful that her daughter had manged to adjust well-enough to the change. Willa tucked her hands into her pockets as she made her way over towards the benches where other parents were sitting and a smile came to her face when she noticed a familiar face. “Fancy seeing you here. Thought you’d be too busy to be out here on a Saturday afternoon,” she replied with a laugh as she settled down beside Simon, nudging him lightly with her elbow. “Cece was driving me nuts running around in the house, so I figured I’d let her run off some of that energy so we can both take a nap.”

“Believe me, I’m just as surprised to myself out here,” he joked as he sat up when she arrived. “I hear you, Christian wouldn’t stop asking to go to the park so I told my conference call they’d have to shove it. In nicer terms of course.” He folded up the paper he had been reading and glanced over at where his son was, smiling as he watched Cece greet him. It was so simple making connections as a kid, he only wished it were that easy in adult life. He supposed in some ways it was but trusting people had never been easy for him. “Aside from extra energy, how’s she been? And you? I mean I think sleep is out the door for us until they’re in their teens and even then it’ll be lots of waiting up late for them to get home. We should train ourselves to sleep standing up. That may be the only solution.”

Even a long time into the separation it still felt somewhat awkward when Grace stood around like that— looking like the young girl Alana had met all those years ago. The woman didn’t know if she still considered their marriage to be in shambles, something within her thought they were past that part and maybe into an even more complicated one where they were attempting to find their footing. Nodding her head at the new information she leaned her shoulder on the glass door frame. “It will take some schedule arranging, but I’ll be there—” she crossed her arms in front of her chest in a poise she had acquired over the years but usually wasn’t reserved for Grace, but as mentioned, footing still needed to be found between the two of them. “Grace,” Alana called her ex-wife sensing that if she didn’t say anything she would turn around and leave, “I was about to cook some pasta and have some wine— do you care to join me for dinner? Chances are we’ll only see the kids tomorrow anyhow.”

“Oh.” Grace swallowed thickly as they lingered by the door, not exactly having wanted to leave but not sure how good of an idea it was to stay. Still they found themselves taking steps away from the door, unbuttoning their coat. “Well I mean if you’re making pasta..I don’t see how I can say no, it is pretty good,” they excuse with a soft smile as they shrugged off their coat and hung it up by the front door. “You’re right about that though, I’m sure Allen is already on the video games and the other two are pulling up the Netflix,” they joked as they followed Alana into her kitchen, still getting used to the idea that they both had separate homes now. “Do you need help? I mean I’m happy to lend a hand. Or get the wine. Or both of course.”

The family business had been busier than usually lately and Hector found himself working harder than he had in months. They had almost gotten busted by the cops a few months ago and they were in the process of shifting so much shit around he barely had a second to breathe. If he wasn’t at his day job, he was making plans with his mother and sister, driving through the night to check in with all of their partners. So when he did have down time he just wanted to relax and not be seen by anyone. Which is why he always found himself at Bliss when he wanted a good drink and company. He had seen her before, definitely on stage and perhaps around town but they hadn’t interacted much and he wouldn’t ever put someone’s business out there. But seeing her approaching now, an easy smile grew on his lips as she sat down and he put a hand on the small of her back. “Hola, preciosa,” he told her softly, looking her over with a laugh. “You can interest me in whatever you want, mama, looking that fine how could I say no?” He smirked and pulled out cash from his pocket so she knew he wasn’t just talking a big game. “I’m Hector.”

Mikayla was an entirely different person at work. One advantage of being down here was she didn’t have to worry about disguises or anything to prevent someone she might potentially know from discovering her identity, but that didn’t prevent her from utilizing the persona she’d developed over the years to help her compartmentalize. She was wondering the floor when she noticed one of the men she’d seen cheering her on while on stage and made her way over, confident smile on her face as she settled down into his lap. “Hola, Papi. Can I interest you in a private dance?”

“I wish I could tell you, but this is all new to me, too” Georgie replied with a laugh as she tucked her hands into her coat pockets while the two wandered. Georgie had been terrified when she’d initially approached Carter about their shared parentage, but the more she got to know him, the more she realized that this would be a breeze given both of their desires to have a strong relationship. “I am not vegan because there’s no way I could live without actual cheese in my life, but that all sounds wonderful to me. Maybe hold off on the boat for a few more weeks until it starts to warm up? Otherwise I think we’ll end up with stinging faces.” Smiling softly, she looked up at the man beside her. She couldn’t imagine what sort of pain he was going through after having both of his parents essentially abandon him when they abandoned the marriage, but she was glad she was here for him now. It helped provide her a distraction as well from the hardships of her own life. “How’s school been going? I never got the college experience, but I hear it can be pretty crazy in both good and bad ways.”

“Okay so add our love of cheese to the list of things we have in common. What’s your favorite kind? I’m partial to vermont cheddar but I heavily fuck with provolone and manchego. I love a good cheese board. See? You’re respoinsible, this is why you’re the older one,” he joked, having to admit he was kind of nervous. Carter would be the first to admit that he didn’t care about much aside from his career and his few friends, including Eleanor. He had become relatively comfortable with his own little bubble but the addition of Georgie added a kind of excitement he hadn’t felt in a long time. At least when it came to think about his family. The fact that they were biologically related and not just good friends meant a lot to him and the more time he spent with her, the easier it was to accept that maybe, just maybe, he’d have a family member who would want to stick around. He wasn’t sure he could handle anymore heartbreak in that area. “Definitely crazy but good. Actually I’ve got a role in the spring showcase if you’d like to come I’ll send you the flyer.  I mean I gotta admit I’m kinda nervous about you seeing me act but I’m confident in it. Classes are okay, I don’t know, I guess there’s just something that shifts in senior year that makes you feel kind of..lost? That may be the best word for it.” He shrugged it off, not sure how to put more words to it. “How about you, hm? Everything okay? How’s the house?”

“I swear I’m going to start a lawyer daycare because they can’t be trusted on their own.” Viola groaned as she sat on the couch with Axel’s head in her lap, her fingers brushing along the dogs fur. “Not to mention there’s this guy who just got here from LA and he’s a total douchebag. He thinks he knows everything. I’m like hello am I the DA or are you? It’s a rhetorical question, obviously. I’m going to grey before we even see 40.” She brought her glass of wine back to her lips and took a big gulp. “Please tell me your day was more pleasant.

“Okay, but what the exactly fuck is wrong with you?” Sofia raised her eyebrows at her best friend before pushing herself off the table and giving purposeful steps towards the man Reagan was telling her about. One thing to know about Sofia was that she hardly took any half measures— or shit home for that matter. Boot heels clicking on the wooden floor as she approached him and cleared her throat. “Okay small penis, here’s how this gonna go— you’re gonna leave my best friend the fuck alone, because she ain’t texting you any time soon, you’re gonna get the fuck off her back and stop playing puppy in love. I know she gives great head, sucks like a queen and massages your balls until you came, but, this is not an excuse to play the fucking stalker, do you hear me? I have a gun and I’m not afraid to use it.”

In true Sofia style, causing a scene and everything as most people hanging around at Doc’s was now looking at her, the brunette felt somewhat satisfied with her antics, turning around and returning to her table and her overly spiked chocolate milkshake. “When we moved here… did you left your spine along the way or something? Not that I don’t love being the bitch in our relationship, which I do, but someday, I’m not gonna be around babe, and I don’t want you to be the creep who asks sexy conversations from strangers.”

Reagan knew what was coming and maybe that was why she had brought it up to Sofia in the first place. It was always more satisfying watching her tell someone off than doing it herself. Her best friend really had knack for it and she pulled out her phone to record the last big, the comment about her giving great head earning an enthusiastic nod on her end. “Okay first of all, I’m very happy you acknowledged how good I am a sucking dick. Second, I didn’t lose my spine, you know I have no fucking patience, okay? And I told him several times, he just wasn’t listening. And lastly what do you mean some day you’re not gonna be around? Fuck that you’re always gonna be around. What I have to make space for a spouse? Ha! Don’t make me laugh even though you already did,” she replied and grabbed Sofia’s milkshake to take a sip before wincing slightly. “God they needed to mix that shit better for real. Alcoholic milk is so not the vibe, Romano.” She stopped a waiter for some water before turning back to Sofia. “Sexy conversations with strangers could be the name of my memoir, honestly. Either that or tripping balls in the back of an uber, a true new york story.” She laughed at her own joke before sitting back in her chair. “Anyway I gotta go style some rich bitch uptown, you wanna tag along and see if we can eat some shit from her fridge? I think she has dogs.”
