Ashley's hand pulls back in surprise
He looks at his daughter and lets out a small sigh as he reaches again...

Pockets Wed Oct 05, 2011 10:52 pm

Alexis shrugs.

Alexis: They do seem to be very strong....

Jabberwocky Wed Oct 05, 2011 10:54 pm

He gently places a hand on Alexis tummy

Ashley:"Well, considering the genetics going on in there..."

Pockets Wed Oct 05, 2011 11:02 pm

Two more kicks, much softer than the first.

Alexis: Maybe that's why they're so responsive.

Jabberwocky Wed Oct 05, 2011 11:12 pm

Ashley:"Maybe...Colin, come say hi to your nieces and or nephews."

Colin looks over and walks up, gently extending his hand

Pockets Wed Oct 05, 2011 11:14 pm

Alexis looks very amused.

Alexis: Anyone else want to join in?

Jabberwocky Wed Oct 05, 2011 11:18 pm

Colin gives a funny look

Colin:"They fell asleep or something?"

Pockets Wed Oct 05, 2011 11:22 pm

Alexis: They don't move around too much yet... they did just start up today. They didn't kick for Gabe either.

Jabberwocky Wed Oct 05, 2011 11:48 pm

Colin:"Ah..I...see."

Ashley looks uncertain for a moment as to the explanation

Pockets Thu Oct 06, 2011 7:32 am

Alexis notices her father's expression.

Alexis: When they kick, they kick. Alex really got kicked....

Jabberwocky Thu Oct 06, 2011 12:40 pm

Ashley tries to not smirk slightly

Ashley:"Ah...Umm...I don't suppose at some point we can 'ave some privacy? Not now, but later?"

Pockets Thu Oct 06, 2011 12:46 pm

Alexis: I'm sure we can... it's not like I'm going anywhere for a while.

Jabberwocky Thu Oct 06, 2011 12:56 pm

Ashley:"Aye, alright I'll come back in a bit then. There was a bakery up the road I think Naomi might loik."

Colin glances over

Colin:"I can stick around."

Pockets Thu Oct 06, 2011 12:59 pm

Alexis: Oh... alright....

Jabberwocky Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:38 pm

Ashley steps out into hallway, glancing over at Alex as he starts to walk past

Cruel Britannia Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:41 pm

Alex keeps his head down, not looking at Ashley.

Jabberwocky Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:56 pm

Ashley pauses, staring at Alex

Ashley:"...Yer soon to be a father and yer going to be a mopy avoident because I'm around? ...Suit yerself...By the way congrats."

he keeps walking

Cruel Britannia Thu Oct 06, 2011 4:02 pm

Alex keeps his voice hushed so Lexi can't hear him.

Alex: If I try and be nice to you, you get pissed at me for being dishonest.... which gets Lexi pissed at me..... If I'm honest with you.....you AND Lexi get pissed at me...... either way I'm in the fucking doghouse..... so please tell me Ashley..... what the hell am I supposed to do except keep my fucking mouth shut?

Jabberwocky Thu Oct 06, 2011 4:20 pm

Ashley sighs as he leans against the wall

Ashley:"I know I've been...difficult through all this. If I ever came across as pissed at yer honesty I apologize. In case you 'aven't noticed, I do tend to react with knee-jerk reactions often. It's...something I'm trying to not do so much. I get the feeling Colin is the same more or less...
...We never really got off to a good start from where you said you were marrying Alexis. The words I used and the intend I 'ad were...

he sighs

"I would love to be able to get to know the man me daughter fell in love with. And I don't mean from some bloody archived dvd. I mean first 'and. Just loik I would love for the man that fell in love with me daughter to get to know me. Not the man on a dvd from before yer birth..."

Cruel Britannia Thu Oct 06, 2011 4:33 pm

Alex: Well...... I'm sorry if I ever came across as confrontational...... I've been trying..... I hate what all this does to Alexis...... it kills me.

....and I sure as hell don't want those three babies to be involved in it......

I'm prepared to give it another shot if you are...... I give you my word I'll try my very best....... but please understand...... I spent the first 20 years of my life hating your guts....... it's going to take time.....

Jabberwocky Thu Oct 06, 2011 4:44 pm

Ashley nods

Ashley:"That is understandable. But I'm willing to take that time. Please however be patient with me too. While you spent twenty years 'ating me; I spent the past twenty years basically isolating meself from...everything except a damned bottle. So I know I'm somewhat rough around the edges when it comes to communication and..what not."

Cruel Britannia Thu Oct 06, 2011 4:47 pm

Alex holds out a hand.

Alex: Deal.

Jabberwocky Thu Oct 06, 2011 4:54 pm

Ashley reaches out and firmly shakes his son-in-laws hand
He then thinks for a moment

Ashley:"You...don't suppose that Amanda would ever consider..."

Pockets Thu Oct 06, 2011 5:10 pm

Back inside the room, anyone with their hands on Alexis' belly would feel almost rhythmic kicks from within. Alexis glances oddly at her belly.

Alexis: They're dancing now?

Cruel Britannia Thu Oct 06, 2011 5:12 pm

Alex ponders.

Alex: Hard to say......

Dad told me once that the reason I took the force of the..... um.... accident.....was because I was in front of her..... like I was sheilding her...... I think there's a big part of her that still blames herself for me getting hurt..... she may have taken it more personally than any of us.......

She loves Lexi though..... so I know she's been trying...... not that she'd ever admit it.
