Alexis stares at her aunt.

Alexis: Well, if I knew you were going to do that, I would have at least told you to save it and not shove it down Alex's throat the moment you walked in the door. No one blames you for anything. You just happened to be the one Shawn chose over Erin... I'm not blaming him for being with you either. I just think he handled things with Erin really badly.

Raquel:"All I wanted to do was curb any stupid issues that might come up. And badly? You weren't there. How do you know?"

Gabe slaps him on the head and throws him some gear from his gym bag...

Gabe: Alright, come on Legacy....let's see if you've kept up with your training....wedding boy...

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:55 pm

Alexis: No I wasn't, but I heard Erin's side of it. She went into detail. And Shawn was over here too, so I got both sides.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:00 pm

Alex straps on the gear.

Alex: Oh don't you worry. Despite not really having a use for it any more, I train as much as I ever did..... not to mention all the extra.... cardio I've been doing.

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:03 pm

Gabe: HA! CARDIO HE SAYS! When only a few years ago...he would never 'defile such a beautiful act with nicknames'.... pussywhipped....

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:04 pm

Raquel:"I suppose you don't want mine then"

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:06 pm

Alexis: I know how you feel about him... I also know you weren't in that room when it happened... but I never said I didn't want to hear your side of it.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:08 pm

Alex: .... if I was pussywhipped I'd have kept my damn mouth shut and just smiled sweetly when my fiancee's aunt expressed her opinion that we're essentially all vindictive asshole because we're not handing out forgiveness like lollipops at the fucking doctor's office.

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:09 pm

Gabe: Wait....what? What the hell is that?

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:11 pm

Alex: What?

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:12 pm

Gabe: Did she really say that?

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:14 pm

Alex: I may have made the language a little more colourful and gotten to the point a little quicker.... but that's essentially the gist of it.

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:18 pm

Gabe: Yeah...I'm going to really get it handed to me right now, aren't I? Ah well...

The sparring commences...

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:45 pm

Raquel:"Shawn didn't expect the reaction that he got from me. He thought I would shy away like so many times before...And he thought Erin was going to have a warmer reaction but that didn't happen. From what he saw he did nothing wrong, unless if for some reason making sure that the feelings that person has are as strong as the ones you have..."

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:38 pm

Alexis: From what I understand her warmth wasn't the problem... or in a way it was. When he kissed her he got her hopes up... she still had that spark. Imagine if it was the other way around, if you had Shawn but had a falling out with him. He comes back even after years, wants you to see him, and when he does he kisses you like he means it then tells you kissing you doesn't work anymore. If your hope is up that much and you have no idea why he's doing it, it could break you.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:45 pm

Raquel shakes her head

Raquel:"I saw her when she got there and saw Shawn for the first time that night. If there was any sort of spark, I'm sorry but I didn't see it...I'm sure that if there was a spark, Shawn would be with her."

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:48 pm

Alexis: For him there wasn't. For her, if there wasn't, then why would she be meaning to kill herself?

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:58 pm

Raquel sighs, somewhat frustrated

Raquel:"Alexis I wish I knew why. It's not like me OR Shawn wanted that to happen. It's not like her being suicidal was part of some master plan. I could take a wild guess but from what I've seen that is slander because I evidently don't know dick about this family. So I'm just going to say 'I do not know why.'..."

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:03 pm

Alexis: I just wanted you to kind of understand where the Edwards' are coming from. Shawn hurt one of their own. It just might not have been the best timing for discussing that right now with Alex... that's all

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:14 pm

Raquel:"I saw the way he looked at you before he hugged me. He only did that for you. I would have rather he said no or told me off almost... Alexis, you know my ways have never been elegant. Hell, most of the time they haven't been that polite either. But I was hoping that we could focus on the bigger picture without somebody looking at me thinking "That is the slut who helped put Erin on suicide watch."...

ugh...

You know what, screw it. Show me where I can stay out of the damn way and I'll just stay out of view. I want to be close to you tonight but...

She sighs and takes a few deep breaths, gently rubbing her stomach

"I'm sorry...I need some fresh air."

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:25 pm

Alexis: Come on out front then... it's wide open enough that if anyone tries to come at us, we'll see it.

She notices Raquel rubbing her stomach.

Alexis: Any more news on that?

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:39 pm

Raquel closes her eyes with a faint smile and nods

Raquel:"We are expecting."

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:43 pm

Alexis hugs her.

Alexis: Congratulations!

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:47 pm

Raquel hugs her back

Raquel:"...Thanks hun."
