• It was, indeed, a little different to have her back after their time apart, and he almost wasn't sure what to do with her. He was getting over it - love was prevailing, of course, but he was content to lay in bed with her, and that was about it for now. He wandered in after a long day at work, toque pulled down to his eyebrows, and dropped his bag inside the door, a brow raised at the little girl, he wandered on over to the two of them, dropping a kiss to Aly's forehead, and Rose's as well. "Well hello ladies." (NT) -- Charlie, 11:30:51 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• She flashed him a bright smile, leaning forward to press a kiss to Rose's cheek before jumping up to her feet and wrapping her arms around her waist "Guess what?" She had big news and she was pretty excited to share it with him (NT) -- Alysia, 11:33:48 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• He raised a brow at her enthusiasm, pressing another kiss to her forehead as he tugged her close to him, cocking his head to the side. "What?" He couldn't imagine what could have her excited at this point in time - they were both just trying to get by, it seemed. (NT) -- Charlie, 11:45:12 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• She grins gently, that infectious grin that formed two dimples in her cheeks, the grin her used to adore "I'm Nala! The Lion King is returning to broadway and I auditioned and I got it!" (NT) -- Alysia, 11:52:42 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• He raised a brow at that - he hadn't even known about the audition - he supposed in the random shuffle of things that had been going on recently, it was something easy to miss. He picked her right up and swung her around. "Oh wow, baby, that's great!" He landed her gently on her feet and pressed another kiss to her forehead. "We have to go celebrate!" (NT) -- Charlie, 11:58:03 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• She laughs a little and tightens her arms around his neck gently "It doesnt start till the summer... which is good cause I'll be done with school then for the year... and I share the role with someone else...but its still such an amazing oppertunity for me..." (NT) -- Alysia, 12:03:10 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• He paused for a moment, a thought occuring to him as he watched her. "So you're going to be touring all over, or is it just in one place?" He would never tell her that she wasn't allowed to go - he would never hold her back from doing what she loved, but their relationship needed some tending, even into the summer, and he wasn't sure they could survive through another separation, especially with the way things were coming together so slowly now. (NT) -- Char, 12:08:58 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• She arched a brow softly and tipped her head up a touch, lips brushing his jaw a moment, reading his thoughts... she would never have even auditioned if it took her away from him "Its here... I only have a three month contract for it- then it'll probably tour but I'll be back in school then anyway and I wouldn;t leave you..." The city provided plenty of oppertunity for her- she didn't need to move about. (NT) -- Alysia, 12:11:29 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• He tried his best to hide it but the relief he felt was fairly visible, like all of his muscles relaxed lightly, and he gave her another squeeze. "Well that's good." He grinned and tapped her nose lightly. "I'm excited for you." He tugged her close again - dropped his lips to her neck idly for a moment, perhaps one of the most intimate acts he'd performed in some time, and murmured. "I'm proud of you." He had watched her grow up, pretty much, from the lost little sixteen year old, into this beautiful, capable, and good hearted young woman. (NT) -- Char, 12:14:33 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• A faint smile touched her lips tenderly at his intimate show of affection, his first in a long time, and the relief of it almost brought tears to her eyes. She smiled and swallowed lightly, leaning up to brush a kiss to his cheek before dropping down the busy herself with the little girl, playing with her enthusiastically. She so wanted things back the way they were... but lately that had been a fading hope... now she saw some light again... all she could do was keep holding out. (NT) -- Alysia, 12:17:58 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• He finally got out of his jacket and put his things away, meandering by them to the bathroom where he showered and re-emerged in worn khaki cargo pants and a thin white long sleeved shirt, sitting on the edge of the couch to watch her playing with the little girl - she looked so at home - he could imagine them having children someday, he supposed.. it wouldn't be for a long time, but he could imagine her being an amazing mother. He grinned idly to himself as Desi pulled up beside the couch, waiting to be scratched. (NT) -- Char, 12:23:19 02/08/05 Tue

• Hugo was hot on her heels, the english sheep dog pup seeing the doberman as a mother figure. Her lifted his large clumsey paws into Charlie's lap heavily. Alysia carried on playgint witht he little girl, lifting up her gaze to Charlie every now and then. She had thought about having a family with him some day, but it wouldn't be for a long time... her ballet career was over as soon as she'd had children... and dancing wouldn't really be much of an option considering all the time she'd have to put into her baby and take away from training... and she wanted to make the most of it while she still could. Besides... when she had children she wanted to be home for them. (NT) -- Alysia, 13:02:20 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• And he wanted to make a stable relationship for them to be born into too - he imagined he'd have to invest a couple more years before they could safely say that again. He ruffled Hugo's mass of furry head easily, and gently took his paws down off of his lap. "Dad wants me to go work in the office for him again.." Which would be good too - there would be more money, though he wasn't sure how happy he would be doing that - he was a lover, not a fighter, and law wasn't his cup of tea. He wanted, however, to start a fund for some big expenses later on, namely a wedding, house, kids.. (NT) -- Charlie, 14:22:35 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• Her brow furrowed a touch at that and she couldn't help but be less than enthused at the idea... She knew he didn;t enjoy it and she wanted him to do what he wanted to do, not what brought in the money- they had plenty of time for all that stuff. "Why? We're doing fine..." She'd always encouraged him to follow his dream, right from then he;d left that summer to travel around the east coast 'finding' himself. She didn;t want him to give up on his dream (NT) -- Alysia, 14:30:55 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• He shook his head a little bit at that and shrugged, reaching for Rose as she toddled toward him, and pulling her up into his lap. He was 23, it was time to start thinking about the future as far as he was concerned. He'd had his fun as a younger man and now he felt a certain responsibility to certain things. He straightened and offered the little girl his fingers, which quickly became drenched in slobber. "I just thought it would be nice to start thinking about things like a house.." (NT) -- Charlie, 14:47:22 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• She drew up her legs idly, watching him witht he little girl with her head gently tipped, sculpted lips pursed slightly "It would... but not at the expence of your happiness... nothings worth giving up on your dreams... besides, you hate working for your dad..." (NT) -- Alysia, 14:52:58 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• Not to mention that he still had to pay back the money that he owed to his father that Jake had taken regardless of the other form of payment he'd already recieved. The thought made him bitter, he didn't want to think about it. "It's alright, Aly - it's better money, and it won't be that bad." He didn't see how she had any say in it either. (NT) -- Charlie, 15:06:02 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• She watched him at that and allowed her brow to crease into a slight frown at his tone. She could tell he;d worked himself into a mood and she didn't see why since she was just concerned for his happiness.... though happy seemed to be the last thing she was making him. She stood up quietly, easily hushed by his tone- a tone which was so alien to her form him, and headed intot he kichen to sort out some dinner for them. (NT) -- Alysia, 15:08:53 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• He watched her go, the tension in his body making the baby obviously uncomfortable, so he let her down and leaned back on the couch, covering his eyes. It was his problem - he'd borrowed the money and now he needed to pay it back. With the little girl still clinging to the knees of his pants in a shaky standing position, he took his hands away from his face, but hesitated to follow her into the kitchen. (NT) -- Char, 15:14:03 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• She was hastily cutting chicken into chunks with scissors- she never did well with knives- and tosing the peices into a pile. Her delicate jaw was set softly and she was fighting with herself between being angry and upset, her gaze dark and stoney, as they often were at the height of her emotions. (NT) -- Alysia, 15:30:41 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• He didn't want to get into anything with the baby right here, so he rose and finally made his way into the kitchen, baby in tow. he didn't want to start a confrontation, but he didn't want to leave the baby alone in the living room - stuck between a rock and a hard place. He sat the girl up in her high chair at the table, and gave her some crackers to keep her occupied, going to stand beside Aly. "Look, I don't know why you're so upset - it's my life, I have to live with the consequences of my actions." (NT) -- Char, 15:46:14 02/08/05 Tue

  ---

• She let out a sigh and arched her brows absently, shrugging it off as she set the pan over the heat and swirling the oil around the bottom. This bitter version of him was starting to grate at her a little... what had happened to her loving, caring, adoring boyfriend? "And when your fourty and looking back, wishing you could have followed your dreams and wishing I hadn't been there to interupt them , we'll both have to live with the consequence of that regret." (NT) -- Alysia, 10:12:09 02/09/05 Wed

  ---

• He cocked a brow that way - he didn't see borrowing the money as something she'd made him do, rather something that he had done for her, the same way he wouldn't regret a present that he gave to her. He pursed his lips a little bit at that and shook his head. "How were you here to interrupt them?" He wasn't following, he supposed, and he wasn't being bitter, just grumpy. If she had just accepted that he was going to the office and left it at that, he might have been able to handle it better and his mood would have remained where it was. (NT) -- Charlie, 10:15:09 02/09/05 Wed

  ---

• She tossed the chicken intot he pan with growing frustraition, her jaw remaining set and her dark eyes fixed on the food she was cooking, not once lifting to him. They had never...ever fought before all this happened. It was all she could do to keep the tears from her eyes "I was just here. And everything would have happened if I wasn't... and you wouldn;t have had to get into debt... and you wouldn't have the regrets you have.... " Was it so wrong of her to just want happiness for him? to want his dreams to come true? (NT) -- Alysia, 10:29:19 02/09/05 Wed

  ---

• He frowned a little, looking over his shoulder to the baby who was happily mashing her crackers then sprinkling them on the floor around her highchair like snow. He frowned. "What regrets do I have, Aly? What are you reading out of my brain?.. Because you're obviously picking up something that even I don't know about." (NT) -- Charlie, 10:35:36 02/09/05 Wed

  ---

• Shew just rolled her eyes and shook her head, glaring down at the chicken in the pan as she stirred it around. She didn't want to get into an arguement with Rose around... the poor kid had enough domestic greif to deal with. She felt the tears prick in her dark eyes and set her jaw against them bitterly. (NT) -- Alysia, 10:58:45 02/09/05 Wed

  ---

• Silence was worse than arguing as far as he was concerned, and so he popped Rose out of her highchair and took her to the living room with him, cracker hands and everything, turning on some cartoons. At least things were simple in cartoons - there weren't such things as regrets and hurt feelings. (NT) -- charlie, 11:09:33 02/09/05 Wed

  ---

• She glanced over her shoulder to watch him leave with a sense of relief, able to brush the tears out of her eyes in his absence without feeling stupid. She continued to cook, mixing up a chinese sauce and then tossing in some straight-to-wok noodles. Her cell started vibrating on the counter and she picked it up, flipping it open and lifting it to her ear, have a fairly brief conversation with Lacey before hanging up. She finsihed up his meal and plated it up for him, she'd lost her appitite with all this going on... She shoved her cell in her back pocket and heads back intot he lounge, tugging on her training jacket since she was still in her training track suit and moving over to him, plucking Rose from his lap without a word and heading for the door, picking up her diaper bag along the way. "Your dinners in the kitchen." (NT) -- Alysia, 11:25:45 02/09/05 Wed

  ---

• He raised a brow at her cold manner, and rose, turning to watch her head out the door. He couldn't understand why she was getting so upset with him over doing what was obviously the right thing in this situation. He meandered into the kitchen, it was no use trying to stop her, and got his food, wandering back into the living room. (NT) -- Charlie, 11:36:12 02/09/05 Wed
