Jayden: What....happened?

Shawn: You have to be lying, Aaron.

Aaron: I wished to God I was. He found a loophole legally and got the original case thrown out. So...he applied for parole...and was granted it.

Shawn: no...no no no no no no no no.....

Aaron: Shawn...your testimony can put him away...forever. You....God, think of...

Shawn: I'm not going to think about it. What about Ashleigh? Why aren't you asking her?

Aaron: She already testified, little brother.

Shawn: ....oh....

Ewan buries his face in his hand.

Ewan: It's not really my place to say Jayden.....

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:23 pm

Raquel:"...He was the way he was because he is scared of something...Isn't he?"
she looks at Kat

Ashley walks over to his daughter, smiling
Ashley:"Those are steel toed you are wearing roit?"

Pockets Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:26 pm

Alexis: I've had to fight Jillian, dad... if you step on my toes I won't feel a thing.

Kat nods.

Kat: His father.

Cryonix Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:29 pm

Aaron: Look, Shawn...we shouldn't do this here. I wasn't even going to bring it up tonight. If you want to talk about it, let's talk outside. These people are having a reception. It's rude to argue here.

Jayden: I...I'd have to ask ....him.... wouldn't I?

Gabe: Relax Unc....it looks like Aaron is going to be taking him outside.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:30 pm

Raquel:"Father?...For some reason I though his father was dead."

Ashley pauses, the smile fades
Ashley:"Wot you mean 'ad to?"

Pockets Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:33 pm

Kat: Both of them... and their sister too, I'm sure... just wishes he were.

Her eyes grow hard.

Kat: Men like him don't deserve life.

Alexis quickly shakes her head and takes her father's arm.

Alexis: Don't worry about it.

Cruel Britannia Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:33 pm

Ewan sees Shawn's reaction, and exhales sharply. He stands and approaches Shawn and Aaron.

Ewan: Gabriel, Jayden.... if you'll excuse me a moment.

....hello Aaron..... long time. Shawn..... looks like you could use an impartial ear.....

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:40 pm

Raquels eyes widen as she sees Ewan approach Shawn, hissing faintly through her clenched teeth as she whispers so only Kat can hear
Raquel:"The jackel goes to attack while his old friend is down I see. Asshole."

Ashley:"...Of course...Thats something that wouldn't garnish a second thought in me..."
he takes her hand as he glares briefly over at Jillian, then turning attention back to his daughter

Pockets Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:43 pm

Kat puts a hand on Raquel's shoulder.

Kat: Calm down, he's not going in for an attack.

Alexis catches her father's glare as they walk out to the dance floor.

Alexis: It's alright dad. I wanted to fight her... to wrestle with the great Jillian De Silva.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:45 pm

Raquel:"No, just to sniff the flesh..."
she sighs
"I apologize Kat. I must sound cynical."

Ashley:"...How did you do?"

Pockets Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:49 pm

Kat spins Raquel around.

Kat: You're not going to help Shawn being like this, and you're not going to help your little one.

She points at Ewan.

Kat: Look at the way he's walking. No tenseness, no aggression. He's not looking for blood.

Alexis chuckles.

Alexis: Let's just say she's still got it.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:55 pm

Raquel:"Then what does he want? Him and his family blame Shawn for Erin's....condition. Leaving his darling sister for some whore..."

Ashley:"..........Ah..................Well...May I 'ave this dance?"

Pockets Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:58 pm

Kat: Look, I don't know all the history here... but right now it looks like he's trying to be helpful.

Alexis grins.

Alexis: Of course.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:02 pm

Raquel glaces at Kat, not saying anything but its clear in her expression she doesn't feel comfortable agreeing. She turns her attention to what is going on with Shawn

Ashley takes his daughter out to the middle of the dance floor

Pockets Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:07 pm

Alexis smiles at her father.

Alexis: For a long time I thought I'd never be able to do this with you.

Kat watches Raquel for a moment and sighs, then watches the scene unfolding with the men herself.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:09 pm

Raquel:"You have had a happy life, free from serious troubles...havent you?"

Ashley:"For a long time I was certain you would never want this moment...Not with me at least."

Pockets Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:14 pm

Kat eyes Raquel.

Kat: This is not about me.

Alexis: Not with the father that barely realized I existed... but this, the way you are now... I want to get to know this dad.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:22 pm

Raquel:"I'm just saying...When you haven't been in the shoes, its hard to know how they feel."

Ashley sighs, reaching into his pocket where he pulls out a locket
Ashley:"I always knew you existed. I always loved you. I was scared I would do more damage then good being the way I was. And when...the divorce happened..."
he opens up the locket to reveal two images, one of a young Colin hugging him. The second is Ashley, holding a sleeping baby Alexis. Tears form in Ashley's eyes.
Ashley:"I'm so proud of the way you turned out."

Pockets Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:27 pm

Kat's voice is quiet, and she continues to watch the men.

Kat: Dad and mom adopted me. My birth father physically abused me to the point I was put in the hospital... and then into foster care. I have worn shoes quite similar Raquel.

Alexis gasps.

Alexis: Why didn't you ever show us this?

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:32 pm

Raquel sighs painfully
Raquel:"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have been so quick to judge. I'm...I'm sorry"
the embarrassed Raquel turns and makes her leave

Ashley:"I was scared it would give you reason to either hate or pity me more then you already did. This single frame of a loving father...What could have been..."

Pockets Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:38 pm

Kat looks over at her, surprised.

Kat: Where are you going? I thought you were going to stay here for Shawn.

Alexis sighs.

Alexis: What could have been.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:44 pm

Raquel:"I'm still near him. I'm sure you would like less judgmental company though..."

Ashley:"Don't ever think for one second that I never loved you. The nights I was sober I turned to the bottle...to dull the pain of not holding you...You deserved a good life and I could barely care for myself. I promised you that when I got clean I would return to you as a father. You were eleven month old at the time...God...had I know it would have taken this long for me to get my head out of me arse...To sober up..."

Pockets Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:48 pm

Kat: Raquel, stop it. You made an assumption and it bit you in the ass. It doesn't make you a bad person.

Alexis hugs her father.

Alexis: Thank you for coming back.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:53 pm

Raquel:"...You are going to be family soon aren't you?"

Ashley holds his daughter tight, truly for the first time feeling like he is her father
Ashley:"I'm glad I finally found my way."
