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

[Pockets]

Kat: Once you marry Shawn, yes I am. Your little one will be my niece.

Alexis smiles happily in her father's embrace, not letting go.

Alexis: So am I.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel suddenly grabs onto and embraces Kat, hugging her tight with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face

Ashley holds his daughter close, for the entire song they barely do what could technically be called dancing, but this moment holds so much more meaning

[Pockets]

Startled, Kat almost backs away. After a moment she returns the hug, although nowhere near as fiercely.

Kat: What is this for?

Watching the whole thing, Cynthia smirks ironically.

Cynthia: It appears I've been replaced.

After the song ends, Alexis almost reluctantly lets go.

Alexis: I... I love you dad.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"Its just...well...I had always wanted a sister. One that was understanding and caring...Perhaps him thinking prematurely, or its hormones making me go batty but...It feels like I'm close to that..."

Frank:"You'll always be her friend dear. It's good to see her bonding with some of Shawn's family."

Ashley kisses his daughter tenderly on the forehead, looking into her eyes as he gently strokes her face
Ashley:"And I love you me dearest. No matter wot, I always will."

[Pockets]

Kat: Ah, well... thank you. I can honestly say you're nothing like my sister. Not that it's a bad thing

She looks at Raquel for a moment.

Kat: You're an only child, aren't you?

Cynthia looks doubtful.

Cynthia: If you're sure....

Alexis hugs her father again, blinking back tears. Half dazed she walks over to Alex.

Alexis: I got my dad back...

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel nods, a sadness in her eyes suddenly
Raquel:"...I would have had a big sister...I often wonder what she would have been like."

Frank tilts Cynthia's face towards him
Frank:"Hey now. Why you seem so long in the face about this? You aren't losing a friend...Whats wrong?"

Ashley watches Alexis walk away before returning to his seat, tears in his eyes and a smile on his face. A look that Moira hasn't seen in the man in years, as he walks by

[Pockets]

Kat: You would have?

Cynthia looks up at Frank.

Cynthia: It almost seems like I am.

Moira double takes as Ashley walks past. She looks over at Ben.

Moira: Looks loik that went better than expected.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"She...passed before I was born...I never got to know her."

Frank:"Hey...You just got engaged to me and you are worried about her?"
he looks at her, taking her hands in his
"I'm going to start feeling neglected."

[Pockets]

Kat: Oh, I see.

Cynthia looks stricken.

Cynthia: I... I'm sorry.

[Cryonix]

Ben: Indeed. I guess there is room for happiness at a wedding, huh?

He smirks and kisses Moira's nose and joins in the applause for Alexis and Ashley...

Gabe: Looks like it's time for cake...

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley sits down next to Naomi, still smiling and wiping his eyes as he sits
Ashley:"Never thought I'd feel this moment."

Frank:"Cynthia..talk to me. Whats going on?"

Raquel:"It's okay. Nothing I can do about it. But...you have a sister? What is she like?"

[Pockets]

Nikki smirks at Gabe.

Nikki: Not quite... now comes the most annoying part of the night.

She gestures at Alex and Alexis.

Nikki: Those two dance and we get to watch them be all lovey-dovey.

Moira smirks.

Moira: Even at this one, go figure.

Cynthia: I know I'm probably being silly... but Raquel's my first real friend... and it doesn't seem like she needs me so much.

She looks bothered.

Cynthia: I know I shouldn't be upset by it. It's not like people can't have more than one friend... and more importantly, I have you anyway....

Kat glances around.

Kat: She should be around here someplace.... She's very outgoing, probably has made friends with most of the room by now... or left them wondering what hit them.

[Jabberwocky]

Frank hugs Cynthia close
Frank:"Raquel is you're first friend, but she won't be your last or only friend."

Raquel:"Really?...Younger I'm guessing?"

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex simply smiles at Alexis, before gently wiping tears off her cheek and hugging her tightly.

[Pockets]

Cynthia: I know this is going to sound a bit wrong... but with this group of people, it is difficult to tell who is... safe.

Kat nods.

Kat: Yes, the youngest of my siblings actually.

Alexis: I'm alright. I just never thought I'd be able to dance with my dad at my wedding.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Well you just did it my love....

he laughs.

....hopefully dancing with me wont prove to be too much of a disappointment after that.

[Pockets]

Alexis smiles.

Alexis: Dancing with you will never be a disappointment.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Glad to hear it.

He snuggles closer.

[Pockets]

Once again there is the sound of gagging.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel looks curiously at Kat
Raquel:"How many brothers and sisters do you have exactly?"

Frank laughs under his breath briefly
Frank:"Trust me darling, that is a tricky tricky question...But you are with the safest of them. The most risky thing I've probably ever done was about twenty minutes ago with you."

[Pockets]

Kat: Three. I've the oldest, and I've got two younger brothers, Damon and Ben, then my sister, Evie.

Cynthia chuckles.

Cynthia: I never thought I would turn someone into a risk taker.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"You get along with them all?"

Frank:"Heh, well risky for me..."

[Pockets]

Kat chuckles.

Kat: As well as siblings usually do, I guess.

Cynthia eyes Frank a bit playfully.

Cynthia: From what I understand, you even dating me was risky for you.

[Jabberwocky]

Raquel:"Ah..."
she smiles but its obvious she really doesn't know what Kat means
"...The only brothers I hung around with as a kid was my cousins, Ashley and Paddy...Not sure if they were ever an accurate depiction of siblings..."

Frank:"Hmm...scary perhaps but risky? Eh...Either way, worth it."

[Pockets]

Kat: Well, if half the time you love them, and half the time you want to choke them, then I think you're pretty close.

Cynthia: I'm glad it was... it was for me as well.
