Jeeves: Of course sir.

Erin: After 12 years the son of a bitch finally calls me..... drags my ass to Chicago to see him..... kisses me.... then dumps me the very next second..... what did I do to him that was so wrong?

Gabe: Oh shit....Dad's dead, isn't he?

Jayden: That's a hundred percent possibility, Gabriel.

As Jeeves drives Ashley to the airport, Ashley is silent for most of the drive. Finally he breaks it

Ashley:"Jeeves..do you ever hear Mr or Mrs Edwards mention me?"

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:12 am

Jeeves: Not for many years sir..... but there was a time they spoke of you often..... often with great concern..... they loved you dearly sir.....

Erin goes and hugs Alexis.

Erin: Today isn't the day to worry about..... Today's a happy day.... I have a new niece.....

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:16 am

Ashley leans in

Ashley:"Concern, Jeeves? You ever 'ear them mention about wot?"

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:18 am

Alexis giggles a little self consciously.

Alexis: So this is what the whole family thing is about....

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:21 am

Jeeves: I've been in the Edwards' service a long time sir...... the concern ws before your...... falling out. They could see the drink destroying you sir.... and your relationship with Ms Crawford.... they would spend hours trying to think of ways to help you

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:26 am

he looks out the window

Ashley:"Surely it occurred to them to just come to me directly and state their concern?"

he stares at his reflection in the glass

Ashley:"Or maybe I was too drunk to notice when they did?..."

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:29 am

Jeeves: I must admit sir on the few occasions I had met you previously.... you seemed to have no desire to make a change in your lifestyle choices.

Meanwhile....

Alex: You OK honey.... you seem a little.... overwhelmed.

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:32 am

Alexis: I'm fine, just not used to having a big close family like this.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:34 am

Ashley sighs
Ashley:"Jeeves...it was the only way I knew 'ow to numb everything."

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:38 am

Jeeves: If I may be so bold sir..... the drink may have numbed the pain for a while..... but would you have had anywhere as much pain to begin with were it not for the drink?

Alex smiles.

Alex: You'll get used to it..... besides in the end... it still comes down to you and me.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:47 am

Ashley:"Heh...if only I was thinking that far a'ead..."

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 9:10 am

Alexis smiles

Alexis: You're right, as usual.

She leans over so only Alex can hear her.

Alexis: Is it just me, or is your sister hiding something in her left hand?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:25 pm

Alex leans further towards Alexis.

Alex: Hiding something? Hmmmn.... what would she be hiding?

Jeeves: Well.... at least you're trying now sir.... better late than never.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:35 pm

Ashley:"Aye...only took a 'eart attack...A destroyed liver...potentially losing me daughter...the reoccurring nitemares I used to drink away about wot I've done to the family you've served all these years..."

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:39 pm

Jeeves: I doubt you've lost your daughter permanently sir.... it was just an.... eventful day for her.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:57 pm

Ashley sighs, not so positive

Ashley:"Jeeves, face it, Alexis is part of a family that 'as 'ated me fer years,and made it very clear they will never fergive me. I was a 'orrible father...and just when I thought I 'ad it turned around the feckin' damn breaks and me past...the past I wanted to protect 'er from is shown to 'er...Is it so wrong that I didn't want to expose 'er to all that?...

theres a pause of hesitation in Ashley's voice...realization

Ashley:"Not long ago she asked fer me to give 'er away at 'er wedding...After today she probably won't want to sent me and invitation..."

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:13 pm

Jeeves: With all due respect sir. I think it a little much to ask of anyone to ask her to fogive what she saw on the spot.... especially considering she was in the middle of one of the greatest challenges she will ever face in her life... Give her time sir.... I'm sure she'll grow more receptive in time.... she is still your daughter after all.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:21 pm

Ashley:"I just 'ope I can be a father again....Jeeves, you must 'ave seen wot I did to Ewan and Quee...Jillian.. all those years ago. Yer 'onest opinion, without all the polite chauffeur stuff...Wot did and do you think o'me?"

he glances at his hand...his phone...

Ashley:"Oh shite...Jeeve's 'old that thought..."

he puts the phone to his ear

Ashley:"...ello?"

Cryonix Fri Feb 25, 2011 5:42 pm

Naomi: Ashley....are you...there?

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 5:48 pm

Ashley:"Aye...sorry about that uh...apparently Ewan arranged transportation fer me...I was kind of thrown off.."

Cryonix Fri Feb 25, 2011 5:59 pm

Naomi: That's alright hon. Are you coming home? I....really want to see you.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 6:01 pm

Ashley:"Aye I should be at the airport soon"

Cryonix Fri Feb 25, 2011 6:03 pm

Naomi: Good. Maybe...this is for the best. Let's work on you...or...er...us...if you want...and we'll see how it turns out.
