Re: Oxford University Part 1...

Jillian: Jayden! That's wonderful!

Jayden: I don't know...studying always has just...come easy to me, I guess. I texted Amanda about it...but she mentioned something about...'whirlpool jets'...so....

Jayden grabs a glass and fills it with some orange juice...

Jayden: As far as factors...well, I'm sure you saw the Chicago skyline during Lexi and Alex's wedding. Jessica did say 'yes' so...heh. I want to pursue honestly everything...but I don't want to be that guy that chases his own dreams and neglects the dreams of his wife...

....though she always did want to be a...Lady. Me becoming Prime Minister would make her that...

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:37 am

Ewan: Actually..... it technically wouldn't.... becoming Prime Minister doesn't automatically entitle you to a Lordship...... besides.... simply by marrying you she can become a Lady...... this house.... and family..... also officially comes with a Lordship

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:39 am

Jayden: ....what? How....are you kidding? I know that we descended from knighthood...but...

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:42 am

Ewan laughs.

Ewan: We do not simply own the house.... but also the land that it sits on.... we are deed and title landholders under authority of the monarchy...... technically..... I'm Lord Ewan Edwards...... and as you are one of my certified heirs..... that title shall be passed to you.

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:48 am

Jayden: I...had no idea.

Jayden is shocked to silence....and Jillian sits lunch in front of him...

Jayden: But....doesn't Alex get the house and...all of the titles and everything?

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:55 am

Ewan: Alex will be head of the family......but the land belongs to the family..... the whole family..... and the titles can be taken up by all who I deem to be my rightful heirs.... that includes you Jayden.

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:57 am

Jayden drinks some of his orange juice...

Jayden: I see. Well....I do value your opinion as well as yours, Auntie....do you think I have a shot at....this whole Prime Minister thing?

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:59 am

Ewan: There is no doubt in my mind Jayden, that if it is your wish to be prime minister..... then you will be prime minister

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:04 am

Jayden: Yeah....I think...maybe, putting some youth into the office might help the country as a whole.

Jayden gets quiet for a moment...

Jayden: I....I want to talk to mom about this too. Do you think she's...well enough to see me? I want to introduce her to Jessica...but...I'm afraid that it might....trigger some things.

Jillian: Honey, your mother loves you. She'd love to see you. I can call Cameron right now if you wish?

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:09 am

Ewan: And she would love to meet Jessica too..... although she's unhappy right now...... she still wishes absolute happiness for you.

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:12 am

Jayden: I just...wish she was here, you know? I hope....she...maybe it's too much to ask.

Jillian: What is it love?

Jayden: I'd...really love for her to see me graduate. She was the one that always pushed me to do my studies...well...her and you, Uncle.

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:14 am

Ewan: It can't hurt to ask.....

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:21 am

Jayden: Alright. Aunt Jilly, please call. I'd like to speak to her as well...

Jillian: Of course.

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:24 am

Jillian makes the call to Cameron.

Ewan: You know..... I had been meaning to speak to you about something..... regarding..... your name.

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:25 am

Jayden: What do you mean, Uncle?

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:26 am

Ewan: Are you happy with it..... being Jayden Cortez I mean......?

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:32 am

Jayden: Oh...um...to be honest with you...I don't know how I feel about it. I do not...NOT like the fact that...that man is my fa...

Jayden can't even say the word...it's been like that for a while...

Jayden: ...and I don't like the fact that my mother can't...even look at me or Gabe without seeing him....and this whole business with Shawn's father...it's almost like the name is cursed.

Jayden sighs...

Jayden: Most of me wants to have nothing to do with it...but I must admit...there's a part that thinks...if I embrace it, I could...I don't know...redeem the name or something. Make it stand out like yours...

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:36 am

Ewan: I see..... well I simply wanted to make an offer..... if you choose to decline I will not be offended...... I simply wanted to say..... that if you wanted to become Jayden Edwards..... then that is well within your rights.

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:38 am

Jayden: I can't say I haven't thought about this......a lot. Just....what brought it on from your end?

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:44 am

Ewan: It's something I had always thought about..... I've always thought of you as my son...... but you've always been very self-conscious of..... who your real father is..... I thought that maybe you might simply be too..... afraid to bring the subject up. Clearly I was mistaken..... you've become a wonderful.... strong..... talented man Jayden. A true warrior in every sense of the word.

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:51 am

Jayden: I still don't know how you see that in me. I mean, it's obvious in Gabe....Amanda....even Alex. I just...heh...lack of confidence I guess.

Cruel Britannia Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:58 am

Ewan: I like to think of it as modesty..... but if you ever doubt it..... simply think what you'd do if Jessica were ever put in danger.

Pockets Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:33 pm

A cleaned up and damp haired Jessica walks downstairs.

Jessica: I'm in danger? What's going on?

Cryonix Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:44 pm

Jayden: No, no not at all, hon. Just a hypothetical situation, that's all. How was your shower?

Jillian: Jessica darling! Would you like something to drink?

Pockets Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:51 pm

Jessica smiles.

Jessica: It was nice... something about the shower here is different, in a good way.

She looks over at Jillian.

Jessica: Tea with milk please, thank you Jillian.
