Re: Alex and Alexis's Wedding.... Part 2

[Pockets]

Nikki: A... a metaphor? How is that a metaphor?

[Cryonix]

Gabe: Well, you know....there's...lips and...swallowing....and good tasting liquid....

....Oh God, this is not happening now.....Look, I'm no good at this. Do you want a drink or not?

[Pockets]

Nikki stares at Gabe for a moment.

Nikki: Yeah... sure.

[Cryonix]

Gabe: You....want me to...

He holds up Nikki's ring finger...

Gabe: ....buy you a drink, then...like...maybe...when we get back to L.A.?

[Cruel Britannia]

Suddenly the Jedi-like image of Alex appears in his mind.

Alex: The only way to come out of a proposal looking cool is if she says yes..... so stop trying to style out of it..... stop being a pussy and humiliate thyself at the altar of love already.

[Pockets]

Alexis nudges Alex

Alexis: What are you doing?

Nikki smiles broadly, and shifts her wrist so Gabe is holding her entire hand. She just looks at Gabe for a very long moment.

Nikki: Yeah... yeah.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Just sending Gabriel some mental support sweetie.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel looks at Kat
Raquel:"Barely planned the wedding let alone a honeymoon. Besides with a newborn..."

[Pockets]

Alexis eyes Alex, the mental "battle" in the hospital suddenly coming to her head.

Alexis: Support, eh?

Kat smiles.

Kat: It's a good thing you'll have family in Japan then.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel suddenly looks dazed and somewhat thrown off
Raquel:"F-...Family...?"

[Pockets]

Kat is a little surprised by the reaction.

Kat: Yes... Aaron and I... and Eric if he's around at the time.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel wipes her eyes as the well up out of her control
Raquel:"Sorry I just...I...thought that Shawn didn't have any family who would be accepting of me. Accepting of me and him..."

[Pockets]

Kat: Why wouldn't we be?

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"I didn't know you existed until tonight. All I've seen an heard as far as people related to him goes is...well...his sons and how much they hate Shawn and wish he wasn't their dad...I...never saw and positivity, no warmth, just...anger...Until now."

[Pockets]

Kat puts an arm around Raquel's shoulder.

Kat: It sounds like some family issues that need to be taken care of. Not all of us are related to Shawn's first wife.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"I'll...never understand that side of things. I tried...I...foolishly...tried to help in my own way. Those are issues I'm starting to believe will never be taken care of..."

[Pockets]

Kat: Sometimes you really can't. And trying to force Shawn's children to like him is not going to work. It's not something you can fix.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"Theres so much I wish but...Out of my hands. Still need to learn that I suppose.."

[Pockets]

Kat: Your first concern should be the child you carry... then taking care of Shawn over there. If it's out of your hands then there is no need to dirty your hands with it.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel smiles, hugging Kat
Raquel:"Its nice to know Shawn will have some family at the wedding."
she looks at her
"If you can all make it that is?...Unless..."

She turns to Shawn
Raquel:"Shawn, can we talk for a moment"

[Cryonix]

Shawn, who's been sitting at another table, letting the two girls talk, looks up from his drink...kind of lost in thought...

Shawn: Hm? Oh...yeah, of course hon. Something wrong?

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel goes to sit with Shawn
Raquel:"I was thinking...You've always loved Japan, right? Why don't we get married there? Why don't...why don't we move there?"
she takes his hand
"It could be our fresh start."

[Cryonix]

Shawn looks suprised....

Shawn: You want to move to Japan? I mean...I still have a lot of dealings over there...but...I mean...did you want to move so far away from Ashley....or Alexis for that matter?

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"Shawn, Ashley and Alexis are on new chapters of their lives. This is ours."
she smirks
"Besides that, have you ever seen how willing this family is to travel?"

[Cryonix]

Shawn: Good point. I guess....I could sell some of my shares in the eateries to Frank...keep some income coming in....If you want to do this...I'm with you, hon.
