• Maybe it was a mother's instinct - not that she was this child's mother, but the instinct of a woman who has been a mother, but she was awake.. she had woken up the last couple of months whenever the baby did, but had usually been able to drift back off because Gabe managed things. Tonight, however, she'd been laying awake for a while now, and finally, she crawled out of bed, her blonde hair mussed and hung loose down around her shoulders, a pair of boy cut shorts and a baggy tshirt covering her wiry frame, she crept to the door, listening, and then down the hallway to his room, pausing for a moment at the closed door and finally knocking softly, hesitantly, before cracking it a bit. "Gabe?" (NT) -- Ace, 11:03:48 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• He looked past him, tipping his head to the side as he let out a soft breath. As much as he hated to admit that he couldn't handle his daughter, he was happy to see her. "Hey..sorry if she woke you..." He murmured softly, tipping his head to the side as he watched her open the door, waving her in. "Come in and close the door so that we don't wake up the kids..." He smiled softly, bouncing the baby still even as he took in her appearance. He had always loved her when she was all in bed and ready to sleep... (NT) -- Gabe, 11:21:23 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• She shook her head a little, she tipped her body sideways to slide in the door and then let it close behind her, making her way toward him, bright cobalts on the baby, ivories making good work of her lower lip. "You want me to try?" She tipped her head -- it had been some time since she'd had an infant.. but she figured she still had the touch - although she was sure he was a competent father, more than competent in fact, she knew he'd never had much experience with them that young. "You didn't wake me, I was awake already. Couldn't sleep." So it was a bit of a lie, but noone had to know that. (NT) -- Ace, 11:24:34 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• He reached out immediatly, one thumb untucking her lip from her teeth before he winked lightly. "Sure..." He handed over the baby, letting her cuddle into Ace's chest as he watched and then leaned in to press a kiss to Ace's forehead softly. "I'd be lost without you in my life right now, you know that Acey?" He smiled a bit to lessen the weight of the compliment but he meant it whole heartedly, he wouldn't know what he was doing half the time if he didn't have her guidance and there was no one else in the world he would want looking over his children. (NT) -- Gabe, 11:26:40 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• She took the baby into her arms easily, looking up and flashing him a brief smile at the comment before she turned her attention back to the small child, holding her to her chest very tenderly - every action so very gentle - she loved the smell of babies, of powder and newness, and realized just how fortunate she'd been to have the two -- one of her own and one just like this little one - Peter didn't know any different - Ace was his mom and that was that. The baby fussed a bit longer, but eventually settled, her thick dark lashes drawing lower on her cheeks as she attempted to evade sleep a little while longer. She finally looked back up at Gabe. "Sometimes they just need to feel the arms of a woman.. not unlike most men." (NT) -- Ace, 11:32:12 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• He smirked lightly, shaking his head. He could swear sometimes she enjoyed tempting him. A low breath escaped his lips as he shifted to sit back down on the bed, watching her. "Maybe you should just stay in here for a bit...keep her calm." They both knew Sanka took to Ace as a mother figure, she was a beautiful little girl with her thick hair, her dark eyes and mile long eyelashes. "She misses you at night sometimes..." (NT) -- Gabe, 11:48:38 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• She smiled down at the tiny soul in her arms, shaking her head before she dipped her face to press a kiss to the tiny girl's chubby cheek, her milk scented breath blowing on Ace's face. She sighed contentedly and moved to settle into the rocking chair that she'd bought for him to play Mr. Mom in. The girl was almost asleep, but she'd hold her a while longer just to make sure. "Nonsense, she does just fine with her daddy in his room - she must get sick of me, seeing me everyday, all day." (NT) -- Ace, 11:54:39 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• He smiled softly as he watched her hold the child so close to her body. It was ridiculous that he was slightly jealous of his own infant. "Bet she would be even more fine if we both were in here." He tipped his head comfortably to the side, watching her appreciatively. His voice was soft with his last statement, almost like he was unsure if he actually wanted her to hear him say that or not. (NT) -- Gabe, 12:12:32 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• She tried to hide a slightly flattered smile as she looked up, raising a brow and casting a pointed look in his direction - the child now asleep, she rose carefully, the antique chair creaking as she rose, and very carefully laid the child back in her crib, raising the side so that it was once again at even keel with the other, before she turned her back, leaning against the dresser, arms crossed over her chest, and shook her head a little. "I'll remember to bring my sleeping bag next time, then." She teased, taking a couple of strides toward him and seating herself on the bed beside him. "You're doing a wonderful job, Gabe." (NT) -- Ace, 12:27:36 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• He was getting so tired of her being so warm one moment and so professionaly distant the next. His eyes weighed on her heavily for a second, his hand shifting to run over her leg slowly as he stretched out on his side. "Stay in here with me...no sleeping bag." His voice was a statement more then a question though he was obviously a little hesitant still... (NT) -- Gabe, 12:30:13 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• She was determined to keep this as a friendship and nothing else mostly for the sake of the children - she didn't want to have anything happen between the two of them that would make them move out - her children had grown to really love Gabe and look up to him, and she believed consistency was important - they'd already had enough of leaving someone they loved - she knew they couldn't take anymore. She was, in fact, so afraid of the outcome of any relationship that they started, that she wouldn't start it at all. She pursed her lips a little, eyes moving lazily to his hand, and sighed a bit. "Gabe, the kids..." It had clearly been a long time since she'd done anything to benefit herself and only herself, as she'd had the responsability of two innocent souls for years now and felt it was her obligation to protect them from any harm, even if it meant sacrificing even momentary happiness. (NT) -- Ace, 12:35:02 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• He let out an almost aggravated breath but his hand stayed oh so gently tucked against her leg. "What about the kids, Acey? Your kids love me, I love your kids, I love you...what more do we need out of all this?" He questioned with his brow furrowed. "I am not asking you to have sex with me, I am just asking you to spend the night in my bed so I can hold you and wake up with you in the morning..." (NT) -- Gabe, 12:44:10 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• She wiped a hand over her eyes easily, pushing her long blonde locks away from her face - she was still sleepy, still feeling fuzzy in the brain. Sighing a little bit, she leaned back and looked over him. "I don't want to ever have to change the situation that they're in now.. I wouldn't want for us to replay last time, and then where are they? They'll have lost two men they loved.. it wouldn't be fair.." She paused a moment, and then shook her head again, picking up the chattering babble that she often got when she was emotional or nervous. "And where did this love thing come from? Did I miss, in some conversation we had that you love me?" Her brow furrowed heavily. (NT) -- Ace, 12:50:25 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• He frowned heavily, shaking his head as he let out a soft breath. "What did I ever do that made you have so little faith in me?" He questioned softly, his brow furrowed. "I have been there for you every step of the way and I was never, ever the one to walk away from you." She was the one who had left him, who had run away to be with the waves instead of in his arms with their child where she had belonged. He wasn't playing the blame game but he was just trying to show her that he had always had her best interest in mind. (NT) -- Gabe, 12:59:28 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• "I have faith in you Gabe.. it's me I don't trust.." Ever the cliched, "its not you, it's me.." chat that was the proverbial thorn in the side of every couple. She let out a long breath - even thinking about what they'd had, what they could have if they tried a little just made her sad, so she primarily avoided it unless she was required to think of it as in this situation. She leaned to thread her fingers through his hair, cobalts watching him resignedly. (NT) -- Ace, 13:03:59 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• "So you think your just going to get sick of me one day? Get tired of being with me and have to leave?" He questioned, his brow furrowed and his head tipped to the side as she ran her fingers through the short tight curls atop of his head. He honestly didn't understand what was holding her back so much, which was stopping her from letting him love her like he wanted to. (NT) -- Gabe, 13:11:55 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• It was increasingly depressing to think of this, but she couldn't just walk out the door, ignore the conversation. "No..." She couldn't quite put things into words the way she wanted to, "Things happen.. people fall out of love, no matter how much they loved each other before -- look at my marriage." She pursed her lips a little, sad eyes taking him in, lips curling weakly upwards. "I'm afraid that I'll let myself love you and I won't ever be able to stop." (NT) -- Ace, 13:15:18 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• "Why is that a bad thing?" He didn't understand, he was at a loss as to why she couldn't just be with him. "Why shouldn't we get a forever together Amanda? After all the shit we've been through, don't you think we deserve to be happy?" (NT) -- Gabe, 13:23:03 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• She sighed a little, before she let herself flop back onto the bed, laying on her back and staring at the ceiling, a fat salty tear making it's way down her cheek and landing in the shell of her ear as she tried, but didn't quite catch it on time. "I think we do, but I don't know if we can count on fate to do that." (NT) -- Ace, 13:29:41 03/27/05 Sun

  ---

• "So your just going to give up instead of trying?" It aggravated him that she was just so resigned to them never being happy together, that she wouldn't even put forth the effort to see if they could make it work. When did she start living her life in such fear? A near growl played through his lips before he shifted to stand up, running a hand through his short tight curls. He was getting tense and when he was tense he wandered... (NT) -- Gabe, 19:54:06 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• Her gut twisted as she watched him get up - she knew this story - he would pace like a caged animal, she would feel immensely guilty, she could cry, it would be a horrible scene. She sat up, leaned over, elbows resting on her knees, her shoulders slumped and her head down. Letting out a long sigh, she shook her head, and finally looked up. "I've loved you for a very long time, Gabe, you know that, right?" (NT) -- Ace, 20:00:42 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• He paused a moment at her words, his bright gaze, now dark with aggravation, focusing on her briefly. "Of course I know that." Thats what made her hesitancey so completely ridiculous. He just didn't understand what was so bad about him, what he had done wrong, that she was holding back so strongly... (NT) -- Gabe, 20:21:20 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She rose with another resigned sigh and began a bit of pacing on her own. "I would love to just be with you, Gabe, but I have to protect my children." They'd already hashed that one out - she knew, somewhere inside that it was not merely by accident that they had come together again - that the second time would be a charm for them, but she had lulled herself into a false sense of security with Breckin and here she was now, with a divorce behind her. (NT) -- Ace, 20:32:43 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• "If you would love to be with me so much, you would just be with me." He stated, his voice turning almost bitter. Shifting his weight, he let out a low aggravated breath. "Fine, Ace, you want it like this, you can have it like this. I won't bring up 'us' again. Hell, it can even be like your just a live in nanny if you want. Maybe that will make you feel safer in your little world." (NT) -- Gabe, 20:39:50 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She scowled in return - approaching and standing just in front of him - she wasn't intimidated - hell, she'd learned enough about confrontations in her marriage. "So we can't just be friends.. I have to be like a stranger? You want to be with me and that's all you want, so it's all or nothing? I guess I liked to believe that when we were together we were best friends as well as lovers." She couldn't help but let a bit of hurt twinge her voice, which was remaining as low as she concievably could keep it while still getting her emotion across. So maybe it wasn't like that, but if she made it out like that was the problem, she wouldn't have to feel so damn guilty about the little kisses, the teasing him at Christmas.. (NT) -- Ace, 20:51:33 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• "You can't keep playing these games with my mind or my heart Amanda, and you don't seem to know how to be friends without doing it." He shook his head a bit, his brow furrowed. If she was so set on never being with him then he needed to start to move on with his life and figure out how to live without her. (NT) -- Gabe, 20:54:43 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She swallowed heavily, going back to the bed and resuming the position she'd taken before, dropping her face to her hands long enough for her to wipe over it and let another long sigh - so perhaps she couldn't handle this kind of confrontation. "It's not easy for me, Gabe.. all that I want right now is for you to come to me, kiss me, erase all the past, everything that has happened in the years that we've been apart and make everything fresh and new but it's not that easy.." Maybe she was guarding her children, maybe she was guarding herself. (NT) -- Ace, 21:09:58 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• "Why isn't it that easy? The only reason its not that easy is because you are making it difficult!" He shook his head, running a hand over his face. "We are going to wake up Sanka, it's late, and I have to get to work early in the morning." He frowned a bit, there was no way he was going to be able to sleep after this conversation. (NT) -- Gabe, 21:15:22 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She seemed to be making everything difficult as of late. She felt herself withdraw now, as she rose, crossing her arms over her chest easily and nodding - she was ready to go to her room for a good cry. Maybe she could give in, maybe she could make herself veunerable, but that would still put to waste all the effort and emotion she'd put into, or purposely forced herself to ignore for the purpose of protecting herself and her investments. "Alright, I'll go." (NT) -- Ace, 21:18:00 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• He nodded slowly, his brow furrowed a touch as he cleared his throat and turned to go to into the bathroom. He could go for a scalding hot shower, the only thing that would ease his tense muscles now and perhaps get him to sleep. "Goodnight, Ace." He spoke shortly, opening the door to the huge bathroom. (NT) -- Gabe, 21:26:11 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She was a disgracefully blubbering mess before she even made it to the bedroom door, and paused, her eyes shining with tears as she turned to get one last look at him before she left. "I didn't come here to make things difficult for you, Gabe, I promise. I don't want to hurt you anymore... I can leave if you want." She wasn't fishing for his begging her to stay, but she definitely felt like she didn't have anything to offer him in return for his generousity and so therefore had outstayed her welcome. ".. if it would make things easier for you." (NT) -- Ace, 21:31:48 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• He shook his head, rolling his eyes. "Don't start on a pity party, Ace." He shifted to tug off the shirt that he had put on when she came in, tossing it aside as he turned to face her for a brief moment. "I need you for the kids, there is no one else I trust and you know that." (NT) -- Gabe, 21:41:30 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She frowned a little, a large ball building up in her throat as she fought to thin her voice out, but it was loaded with her tears. "You managed perfectly well without me before - it would be like nothing had changed, except Sanka's arrival. You would hire a nanny with good referrals, and then you'd stop having to suffer with me in the house," And I could stop suffering too.. She drew herself up, wanting nothing more than to be held, but knowing it wasn't going to happen and set her lips in a grim resolve. "Goodnight Gabe.." (NT) -- Ace, 21:47:55 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• "Would you rather leave?" He questioned, his brow cocked as he crossed his arms over his bare chest. The ball was in her court, he'd done all he could. She'd trampled over his emotions more times then he could count and he was getting tired of it. He'd left himself open, his heart was hers for the taking and his arms were open if only she would chose to walk into them. (NT) -- Gabe, 22:04:10 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She stopped her little tirade, and let her eyes slide shut, another resigned sigh crossing over her lips, and shook her head. "No." It would be easier if he told her to leave - begged her to be gone, then she could stomach it easier, but she knew this was where she was supposed to be. "Because even if I'm not with you in every sense of the word, being here with you makes more sense to me than anything else in the world has for the last five years.. I just don't want to hurt you anymore, Gabe, and if that's what I'm doing, I want to stop - because I only want the best, and the most for you, whether or not that's me." (NT) -- Ace, 22:07:08 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• He shrugged lightly, shaking his head. "I am used to you not wanting me, Ace, it's been happening since we were barely kids." With that he turned, shutting the bathroom door about half way before he stripped down and stepped into the shower - turning on the hot water and stepping into the spray with his eyes closed - just wanting to block out the world. (NT) -- Gabe, 22:09:02 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She felt like he'd pulled the plug on her warm, fuzzy tub full of happy feelings and good wishes for him, and stood by, feeling a bit cold as she watched him go into the bathroom, before she crossed the floor decisively with long strides, and pushed the door open, averting her eyes for only a second before she pulled back the curtain. "No. That's not how it was, and you know it - after we got together, you were the only one I wanted, and you're the only one I want now. You know why Breckin and I didn't work? We were both too caught in our pasts to move forward - and it's hard when all you can think about when you look at your baby girl is how she has the wrong father and there's another man out there that deserves her so much more than the one she calls daddy now." (NT) -- Ace, 22:13:21 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• He turned slowly, not shy about his body - he had changed since the last time she had seen him like this - his body filled out, no longer a gangly kid who was nicely toned but now a full, broad man with muscles that rippled and filled out a suit in an incredable fashion. "You talk a lot, you know that? You talk about how you want me, how you love me, well, honey, you have me but you aren't brave anything to do a damn thing about it." (NT) -- Gabe, 22:18:40 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• Maybe the entire reasoning was just that she required drama and he would have made it far too easy for her to just fall into his arms and resume a wonderful, normal life that she so yearned for. She liked to play the victim, in a sick sad way, and this was no different. She scowled, huffed a little, blowing off steam from what seemed to her to be a challenge, and then stepped into the shower with him full clothed, a hand on each shoulder as she turned him and met his lips honestly, openly, daring him to tell her she wasn't brave enough. Maybe it was more than time to let go of her walls of Jericho. (NT) -- Ace, 22:22:31 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• He cocked a brow, kissing her back for a moment before he pulled back and shook his head. "Your crazy." He wasn't so much of a drama type as she was, much more the type to just talk things out and then let fate take its course. She lived like she was in a movie half the time. She could have just laid down with him in the bed but no, she had to hop fully clothed in the shower. Still, a smile played over his face as he gazed down at her. (NT) -- Gabe, 22:29:08 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• One corner of her lips tilted upward in a lazy, half smile and she shook her head, her shoulders slumped. "Not crazy.. confused, is all." She could have taken the easy route, but he had to aggitate her and make her run an entire gammut of emotions before she could finally succumb to what she'd been wanting to do for forever. Soggy from the water falling on her, she leaned up, tugging his chin downward as she met his lips again, hungry and perhaps a little demanding. (NT) -- Ace, 22:32:02 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• He shook his head, reaching over to turn off the water and run his hand over his head. "You need to make a logical, rational decision Ace, this isn't the movies. If you don't think your ready for a relationship then your not ready we just gotta cut out all this drama." He pursed his lips lightly, reaching over for a towel to run over his hair and face and then wrap around his waist as he got out of the tub. "I am twenty eight years old Acey, I got a business of my own and two kids, I want something stable when it comes to a relationship." (NT) -- Gabe, 22:39:31 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She frowned again, at least she had been able to get her tears under control - that had been embarrassing to say the least - though she was a lot more accessible emotionally now than she had been years and years ago, she still hated to show that weakness and veunerability that was crying. She wiped water out of her eyes and stepped out of the shower, tugging at a hand towel to dry herself off, though she wasn't particularly sopping just yet. "I guess I have to be a grown up, don't I?" (NT) -- Ace, 22:42:02 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She seemed to cry all the time to him but he didn't really mind except for the dramatic quality of it all. "We can be kids with each other...but we do have a lot of responsibilities to take care of...between the kids and my company and just getting a relationship to work between us...." He shrugged his shoulders, lettng out a low breath. "We gotta be responsible sometime." (NT) -- Gabe, 22:49:52 03/29/05 Tue

  ---

• She trudged over, seating herself on the seat of the toilet, nodding a bit. It wasn't that she was all for acting like a kid, making Gabe play father figure for all five of them, but she had missed a large part of her "young and wild" days - not that she resented a second she had spent with him, and pregnant with his child, she just missed it, drama, and dating casually and all that good stuff. She pressed her lips together, hands clasped between her knees again. "I want to try, Gabe." (NT) -- Ace, 05:34:08 03/30/05 Wed

  ---

• He had his fun days when she left him the last time, took a good year to rebel and get all his wild party days out of him and then he had grown up and started his business and grown to the successful man and father he was today. His eyes drifted down to her, a small smirk playing on his lips as he rubbed a towel over his head briskly. "Want to try being a grown up?" (NT) -- Gabe, 19:14:23 03/31/05 Thu

  ---

• She shrugged a little at that, catching the spark in his eyes, and shook her head a bit. "I want to try us, mostly.. maybe... and growing up can come a little later?" She rose, rubbing out her long hair with the handtowel she had, but it wasn't very useful. The baggy tshirt she wore was slicked down to her body - hardly the billowy night garment that it had been moments before.. she was a bit of a mess and still dripping all over the place. "I'm soaking wet.." She looked down, tugging out the hem of her shirt so it didn't cling quite so badly. (NT) -- ace, 19:20:32 03/31/05 Thu

  ---

• He smirked, shaking his head as he stepped forward - only a towel wrapped around his waist - his hands moving to tug the tee shirt off of her and drop it into his tub, letting it drip there. "Come on, I'll get you a dry shirt." He smiled lightly, brushing her damp hair back before he wrapped her in his robe that was hanging on a hook by the door, his hand slipping to her lower back to guide her into his room. (NT) -- Gabe, 19:28:28 03/31/05 Thu

  ---

• She snuggled deep in the warm terrycloth robe he'd provided, that smelled precisely like him, taking in a deep breath and releasing it. Maybe it was because it was the middle of the night, maybe that was why she was giving in - but she couldn't imagine doing it any other way. She took his lead into the other room, dropping down onto the bed, watching his muscled form move about the room in the dim light of the lamp by the bedside appreciatively. "Sorry I'm such a nutcase." (NT) -- Ace, 19:35:59 03/31/05 Thu

  ---

• He dug through his drawer until he found a tee shirt - one that brightly proclaimed the logo of his surf supply company - and tossed it to her. "I am used to it." He responded to her apolagy with a wink, a smile crossing his face as he shifted to tug on a pair of boxers and then head over to the bed. "Wanna stay in here with me tonight?" (NT) -- Gabe, 19:40:10 03/31/05 Thu

  ---

• "Mmm.. let me think about that.. " she smirked a little bit, dropping out of the robe with as little shame as he'd had in the shower, and pulling the tshirt on over her head, her underwear also wet, she got rid of them, thankful that the shirt was long enough to be reasonable, and then crawled toward the head of the bed, digging under the covers like a child. "Yes." As unsatisfied as he'd left her at Christmas, it had been a nice feeling to just lay with him, be held in his arms, to know that even though he'd changed, the way that he felt about her hadn't. (NT) -- Ace, 19:43:48 03/31/05 Thu

  ---

• He had changed. He was mature and level headed now, knowing not to rush things or expect to much to fast. With a smile he drew her into his arms, tucking her beneath his chin easily as he closed his eyes. "Night Acey..." Luckily Sanka was fast asleep now and they didn't have to worry about that but the baby did tend to be a light sleeper he had noticed. (NT) -- Gabe, 19:52:26 03/31/05 Thu

  ---

• She felt a little gipped knowing that they had spent so much time deliberating and now she was just getting a goodnight acey.. She buried her face against his bare chest, falling easily into the old position, in his arms.. her lips pressed to his flawless tanned skin lightly, "Goodnight.." she murmured. (NT) -- Ace, 19:56:56 03/31/05 Thu

  ---

• His hands eased over her back slowly as he tried to lull her to sleep. It was another, no drama thing - he just wanted this to go smoothly, an easy transition from being friends to being lovers again. A smile caressed his lips, he just held her tightly, his eyes closed as he enjoyed the moment. (NT) -- Gabe, 20:07:25 03/31/05 Thu
