Cryonix Wed May 25, 2011 10:07 pm

Gabe: So....I think we need to address the situation, Dad...

Shawn: I...I guess we should.

Gabe: You do know that Jay is probably not going to talk to you.

Shawn: He's....that mad, huh?

Gabe: Yes, he is....to be honest with you, so am I. You didn't raise us...you didn't raise 'Mella...now all of a sudden, you're gung ho to raise your FOURTH child? Were we not good enough?

Shawn: That's not it at all, Gabe. For a lot of my life....I was very immature...I....I missed everything....cause I didn't realize what I had. I can't take it back, and...I can't expect forgiveness.

Gabe: ....but Raquel can ask us to show up at your wedding....when our mother is still the way she is? I...I just don't think I can do that, Dad. Carmella might be able to....but I don't think Jay and I can. We'll send a card or something...but...

Ewan sees Gabriel talking to Shawn and Jayden standing alone. He walks up to Jayden and puts his hand on his shoulder.

Ewan: How you holding up kiddo?

Cryonix Wed May 25, 2011 10:14 pm

Jayden: I...I don't know how he can talk to him. He's...braver than I am, Uncle. I just....He didn't care about us....or Carmella...now...all of a sudden, he's a family man?

Cruel Britannia Wed May 25, 2011 10:18 pm

Ewan: Knowing Gabriel he's probably doing it so that you don't have to..... and don't ask me to try and explain Shawn's thought process.... we were best friends for nearly 30 years and I have no better understanding of what's going on in his head than you do.

Jessica walks over to Jayden and Ewan.

Jessica: Is this a bad time?

Jabberwocky Wed May 25, 2011 10:27 pm

Raquel:"Get into a lot of trouble then?"
she looks past her briefly to look at Shawn, with a sigh
Raquel:"Do yourself a favor my dear"
she looks back at Nikki
"When you grow up, learn, but never regret...Never."

Colin:"It's...a long story. But basically...I ended up getting him fired and...he has a lot of friends who want to help get back at me for it..."

Ashley walks over to Moira
Ashley:"Hey...some wedding..."

Cruel Britannia Wed May 25, 2011 10:31 pm

Ewan smiles to Jayden and then looks to Jessica.

Ewan: Of course not my dear. You look lovely today.

Cryonix Wed May 25, 2011 10:31 pm

Jayden: No honey, no....it's just....well I told you about the situation with my...father. Gabe it just...taking the brunt of it.

Pockets Wed May 25, 2011 10:38 pm

Nikki: Sometimes... but some of it is legit, just seen as crazy by most people. And I don't plan on having regrets. Maybe that's why I do all this stuff, so I don't regret not doing it. Who knows?

Alexis chuckles.

Alexis: This is a story I have to hear sometime.

Moira looks over at Ashley.

Moira: It's hard to believe our daughter is married. Time goes quickly, doesn't it?

Jessica: Thank you, Ewan.

She looks over at Gabe and Shawn.

Jessica: It looks to be a passible conversation

Watching it all, Cynthia glances over at Frank.

Cynthia: And you say this has all been going on for 20 years?

Cruel Britannia Wed May 25, 2011 10:42 pm

Ewan looks to Jessica.

Ewan: Look closer dear.... learn to see past what they're doing and read their intent. See the tension in Gabriels arms. Were he not being on his best behaviour he would have taken his father's head off by now.

Pockets Wed May 25, 2011 10:46 pm

Jessica looks intently at the conversation.

Jessica: His father looks as if he would take it, not fight back.

Jabberwocky Wed May 25, 2011 10:48 pm

Raquel:"Well, you have my envy already my dear."

Colin:"Heh well...we should have lunch sometime. Just us. Catch up."

Ashley:"Aye...It does. It really...it really does. So I guess you're next?"

Frank lets out a deep sigh
Frank:"Sadly most of it isn't peaceful...or even tries to be. There's a lot of scars here. Some by others, some self inflicted..."

Cruel Britannia Wed May 25, 2011 10:51 pm

Ewan looks at Jessica, impressed.

Ewan: Very good Jessica..... you'd make a hell of a fighter.

Cryonix Wed May 25, 2011 10:52 pm

Jayden: See, Uncle? She has the eye as well...

Gabe: Dad...you have to tell me something. Please...I can't do this all the time. I can't be this calm all the time.

Shawn: Gabe, I know that...

Gabe: You.don't.know.anything.....Shawn! My....let me calm down....let me calm down. You don't know me....or Jayden. You weren't there when Jay had nightmares when he was a baby. You weren't there when I won my first seven martial arts tournaments. You weren't there when Jay and I got out of 8th grade, high school, college...you never spent Christmas with us....or Carmella. I have every reason to hate you with every fiber of my being...and I can't. Not totally...

...but the thing that kills me...and more so Jay than me...is that every time our mother looks at us...she sees YOU....and she breaks out into tears. She thinks we don't notice...or hear...but we do...and we can do nothing about it. She can't let you go...

Shawn: I know....Gabe, I'm sorry....I really am.

Pockets Wed May 25, 2011 10:58 pm

Alexis smiles.

Alexis: Yeah, that sounds good.

Moira: No... not next. Looks loik there's quite a bit of this goin' to be goin' on... I'll let them 'ave their fun first.

Nikki looks at Raquel curiously.

Nikki: Why is that?

Before Raquel can answer Nikki hears Gabe's outburst and shoots a startled look at that conversation.

Cruel Britannia Wed May 25, 2011 11:02 pm

Ewan sees that it's time to step in. He walks over and hugs Gabe.

Ewan: Shhhhh..... it's alright Gabriel...... you're not alone. You don't have to do this alone. I'm here.

Jabberwocky Wed May 25, 2011 11:08 pm

Colin smiles
Colin:"Excellent."

Ashley:"I meant next to...get married.."

Raquel looks over at the conversation
Raquel:"You ever get the feeling that not matter how hard you wish everything would work out, you know it probably never will?"
she looks away as Ewan steps in
Raquel:"I'm sorry Nikki, would you excuse me?"

Cryonix Wed May 25, 2011 11:09 pm

Gabe: I'm...I'm spent, Unc. I just don't have anything else to say. I extended the olive branch...I want him to see my new place...but...

Shawn: I...understand, Gabe.

Gabe nods at Shawn, hugs Ewan and walks over to the bar...

Gabe: Shot of Jack please....

Cruel Britannia Wed May 25, 2011 11:14 pm

Ewan sighs and rubs his temples. He looks over to Shawn.

Ewan: You OK?

Pockets Wed May 25, 2011 11:16 pm

Alexis returns the smile, nodding. The smile turns into a smirk.

Alexis: Meanwhile... you've got a wedding of your own to plan, don't you?

Moira: I know wot you meant.

Nikki watches Gabe walk over to the bar.

Nikki: Yeah... I need to make sure Gabe is alright anyway.

She walks over and sits next to Gabe at the bar.

Cryonix Wed May 25, 2011 11:33 pm

Gabe: Hey baby....want a drink? It's on me. I'm just.....spent.

Jabberwocky Wed May 25, 2011 11:34 pm

Colin:"Well...Amber seems more of the planner, truth be told..."

Ashley:"Look Moira I'm...I'm sorry was never there. I'm sorry I spent all that time drunk off me arse. That you 'ad to raise Alexis with...without me. I'm sorry fer everything. You were roit. Alexis is the best thing we ever did, and I promise that I want to do all I can to be a father to her...I know it moit be to little to late but...
he sighs
I 'ave to try."

Cryonix Wed May 25, 2011 11:39 pm

Shawn: I'm trying to hang in there, Ewan. I swear to you...none of this was my intention. Not today...I just wanted to be here for Alex and Alexis.

Cruel Britannia Wed May 25, 2011 11:42 pm

Ewan: I know Shawn..... but I did have a feeling words would be exchanged..... although I did think you'd be the one to initiate contact..... especially after Raquel asked me to convince the boys to come to the wedding.

Cryonix Wed May 25, 2011 11:44 pm

Shawn: I thought she might. She's trying so hard to make me happy...and I appreciate that...but I don't think she understands the dynamics of your family. I think that's why she's so...confused as to why things aren't going the way she thinks they will.
