Alexis looks behind her and sighs.

Alexis: You really don't have to do that.

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:11 pm

Gabe GLARES AT Raquel....

Gabe: Alex...dude. I just remembered. I probably should go. I don't want to say something I'd regret...you know...cause I'm nice and all.

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:13 pm

Alexis sighs, looking at Raquel.

Alexis: You know, never mind... you were right.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:13 pm

Alex: I understand man. Thanks for coming. I'll catch you in Minnesota.

He kicks the tree again. Then hugs Gabe.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:15 pm

Raquel sighs and goes back around to where Alex and Gabe are. She speaks in a calm, non sarcastic tone

Raquel:"No, go ahead and lambaste me. Please just get it out of your system."

She look at Alex

Raquel:"Both of you..."

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:17 pm

Alexis sighs.

Alexis: Aunt Quelly....

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:19 pm

Alex shakes his head.

Alex: Are you kidding me with this?

He heads inside.

Cryonix Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:21 pm

Gabe picks up the sparring gear and give Alexis a hug...

Gabe: I'm out of here, Lexi. I need to go see my mother. I'm not...comfortable with you're aunt in our house....doesn't mean she's not welcome by....other...members of our family.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:23 pm

Raquel looks back at Alexis

Raquel:"It's okay."

She yells back at Alex

Raquel:"Walking away doesn't take care of anything..."

She sighs

Raquel:"Took me damn near 25 years to figure that out..."

She looks over at Gabe then turns away trying to conceal the tear running down her cheek

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:27 pm

Alexis returns the hug.

Alexis: I understand... just keep your eyes open. I don't know how far this whole thing goes.

She notices Raquel, and puts an arm around her.

Alexis: Let it go, Aunt Quelly... it says a lot that you're here. We've got other things to worry about now.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:32 pm

Alex texts Shawn.

Alex: Your woman can say whatever she wants to me. You know me I'll just go to the dungeon to blow off some steam. But I advise you to tell her not to speak to your sons.

Alex heads down to the dungeons and starts throwing some very heavy suplex dummies.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:35 pm

Raquel:"Just...just show me where I'm staying..."

Pockets Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:55 pm

Alexis: Come on then.

She walks back inside, and hears a by now familiar noise in the dungeon.

Alexis: Hold on, Aunt Quelly... just make yourself comfortable on the couch for a second.

She heads down to the dungeon, and watches Alex for a couple of minutes.

Alexis: I had no idea she was going to come in here and start talking about that. All she told me was that she wanted to make sure I was safe. I just figured it would be a good idea for as many off us to stick together as we could since we don't know what is going on. I'm really sorry about this.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:57 pm

Alex throws the dummy again.

Alex: Not your fault.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:58 pm

Raquel sits down on the couch, closing her eyes and holding her stomach. She tries to keep her mind off things by thinking of names for the baby...but none come to mind. So she sits there feeling tiny in a giant house.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:03 am

Alexis watches the dummy fly across the mat.

Alexis: I know, but I feel responsible since I pushed to have her come here.

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:07 am

Alex: She's your family.

He throws the dummy again. It lands on it's neck and the head snaps off. He kicks the severed head across the room.

Alex: I understand.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:14 am

Alexis bites her lip.

Alexis: Where is she going to stay while she's here?

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:15 am

Raquel pulls out her phone. She is about to text Shawn tell him that she thinks she made a mistake coming here. She even types it all out...Then erases it and simply sends

"I love you"

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:17 am

Alex sits on a bench and drapes a towel over his head.

Alex: Speak to Jeeves. He'll show you to the guest wing.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:29 am

Alexis nods.

Alexis: Alright...

She looks like she wants to say something else, but just bites her lip and heads upstairs to find Jeeves.

Alexis: My aunt is going to need a room while she's here....

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:37 am

Jeeves: Of course madam. Everything is ready. Master Alexander asked me to arrange accomodation. Shall I show you the way?

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:14 am

Alexis looks over at Raquel, who seems to be lost in thought, staring at her phone. She walks over to her, touching her shoulder lightly.

Alexis: Um... Aunt Quelly?

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:15 am

Shawn texts Raquel back...

"I love you too. Everything alright?"

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:24 am

Raquel texts Shawn back
Raquel:"I'm here for Alexis. I just need to focus on that and forget about...anything else here."

with Alexis touch she leaps out of her chair in surprise

Raquel:"AH!!!...Oh...Alexis...You startled me."
