Alex: But I'm aware of it..... it was supposed to be their day...... but it became about our families again.... and the consequences are getting worse every time.....

He looks at her.

..... I don't want you to go through anything like this ever again......

Cryonix Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:35 am

Jillian gives Moira a big hug...

Jillian: Heya love.

Pockets Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:37 am

Alexis: That's why they have to be kept separate... and the only thing they have in common is us... our family.

Moira hugs Jillian back.

Moira: Never a dull moment... I rather miss dull moments.

Cryonix Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:40 am

Jillian: I know what you mean. How's the wedding plans coming?

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:42 am

Alex: Yes our family........ our lives..... our rules..... time for us to stop trying to please everyone and start pleasing ourselves and ourchildren.....

Pockets Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:45 am

Moira: We were gonna be gettin' into it after the babies were born... then this happened....

Alexis nods.

Alexis: But how? People do tend to drop in whenever, I don't know how well trying to schedule people would work.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:49 am

Alex: Well.... we'd need to put a stop to that..... how about.... nobody comes to Chicago without calling us to ASK if they can stop by....

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:53 am

Ashley gathers enough energy to pull phone out and text Naomi

"I need you here"

The phone drops into his lap the moment the text is sent

Pockets Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:53 am

Alexis: I like that idea... but what about your mom helping out?

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:58 am

Alex: It's a short term necessary arrangement.... but she doesn't need to be there 24-7.... if a member of your family wants to visit.... they can call and I'll ask my mum to take the day off.... and I'll give her a couple of hundred bucks for cake.

Pockets Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:59 am

Alexis laughs.

Alexis: She'd be back within the hour. But if it's my mom coming it's safe.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:04 am

Alex: Heh.... the one exception to the rule.

.....We're going to make this work somehow..... because I love you.... and I love our beautiful children...... and nothing is ever going to come before that again.

Pockets Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:09 am

Alexis nods, grabbing Alex's hand.

Alexis: We can make this work.

Cryonix Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:11 am

Naomi makes her way to the hospital. Meanwhile...

Gabe: Man....this is turning out to be a shitty day, considering.

He pokes his head into Lexi's room...

Gabe: Not to pester or anything....but I'm freakin' starving. Did you guys want me to pick you anything up?

Pockets Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:13 am

Alexis: Oh yeah, food not delivered by a needle. Where are you going?

Nikki pokes Gabe in the back.

Nikki: If you weren't too busy with your cousin earlier you could have come to Burger King with me and Uncle Ash.

Cryonix Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:18 am

Gabe: There's a great Italian joint right down the street. Buca De Bepo. I figure today calls for useless carbs.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:25 am

Alex: Sounds good thanks bro.... if you could just grab me some spaghetti marinara or whatever..... thanks.

Pockets Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:27 am

Alexis: Soon as you said Italian I was thinking lasagna for some reason. If we're going empty carbs let's go for the mother load.

Cryonix Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:30 am

Gabe walks in, writing down the 'orders'. As soon as he's done, he hands some paper to Alexis...

Gabe: Alright...see if I got this right...

Alexis looks down to see a note..."You guys are coming up to Minnesota for my training, right? Well...Nikki and I are going to be staying in the cabin up there so...when Uncle comes over for training....you and Alex and the kids take my keys to my house in Laguna Beach and stay out there for a week or two. Just get away, yeah? Don't tell anyone either.

PS....Please, please, please....wash the fuckin' sheets when you're done....

Gabe"

Pockets Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:31 am

Alexis smiles

Alexis: Thanks Gabe.

She shows Alex the note.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:34 am

Alex smiles too.

Alex: Thamks bro.

Cryonix Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:37 am

Gabe: No problem...it's just picking up food, right? Wink

Oh Nikki....come hither. We have an errand to run.

Meanwhile, Naomi has shown up at the hospital...and finds Ashley...

Naomi: I came as soon as you texted. What's wrong?

Pockets Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:41 am

Nikki: Hither? Oh... and I might have taken some tread off of your tires, sorry about that.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:47 am

Ashley stares at the floor as he tells all he knows about Colin's condition
"...God I was supposed to become a grandfather today not lose a son..."

Cryonix Tue Feb 14, 2012 7:30 pm

Naomi: He's going to pull through, Ashley. We....we'll take care of him no matter what, alright? You, me and Amber.

Gabe and Nikki get into his SUV and take off towards the bistro....

....and during all this time.....Jimmi Thorne....is.still.driving.

Meanwhile, Jillian gets a call from the doctors...

Jillian: Moira, he's in room 984.
