Alex pulls Lexi into him so she can snuggle into his chest.

Alex: They're.... complicated....... but show me a teenager who isn't

Pockets Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:26 pm

Nikki: I've never... and I will never... have the experience of being an Edwards, or being male, so you might need to enlighten me a bit.

Alexis: Were we that complicated?

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:31 pm

Alex pulls out and old photo album, turns to a page with a 18 year old Lexi modelling one of her ridiculously revealing wrestling attires.

Alex: I'd say we were.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:33 pm

Connor:"That'd just bring up questions about Gabe
He smirks

Pockets Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:43 pm

Alexis laughs.

Alexis: You kept that? I wore that damn thing just to piss mom off. Please make sure Elizabeth and Natalie don't see that... I don't want to deal with two me's.

Nikki smirks.

Nikki: Don't want to talk about it, huh? Alright.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:47 pm

Connor:"I'm sorry, I've talked to mom and aunt Mandy, I could go for a change of subject though."

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:48 pm

Alex: Oh trust me.... I have no intentions of giving them ideas........

Pockets Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:51 pm

Nikki: Fair enough. What subject would you like it changed to?

Alexis: Good. Why did you bring along a book with me in one of those outfits anyway?

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:54 pm

Connor:"I dunno...How was the reef?"

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:56 pm

Alex: This book kinda lives in my luggage at all times.... in case I ever go anywhere without you.....

As he flips through there are various pictures of Lexi, and the quads.

Pockets Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:32 am

Nikki grins.

Nikki: It was amazing, a whole different world down there. At the risk of sounding horribly cliche, I would highly recommend sticking that on your bucket list.

Alexis is looking through the book.

Alexis: Is every picture you ever took of me in here?

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:38 am

Alex: Oh god no...... heh..... this is a small collection....... I like this one.

A close up of Lexi giggling on honeymoon

Pockets Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:41 am

Alexis: Hard to believe the kids were already growing in there.

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:48 am

Alex: Hopefully the weren't aware of..... what we were doing.

He chuckles.

Pockets Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:50 am

Alexis: I don't think they were aware of anything that early....

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:57 am

Alex turns to a picture of Lexi covered in sleeping babies.

Alex: Your "blanket".....

Pockets Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:02 am

Alexis snuggles into Alex and can't help a large yawn.

Alexis: They were so determined....

Another yawn.

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:05 am

Alex puts the book away and starts stroking Lexi's hair he kisses the top of her head.

Alex: Come on angel..... get some rest...... big day tomorrow.

Pockets Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:07 am

As always, it works beautifully, and Alexis is quickly asleep.

Cryonix Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:21 am

The next morning, the suite is all a buzz. Alexis has dressed in her red and gold kung fu outfit, and is just starting to put on her monogrammed 8th degree black belt. Elizabeth and Natalie are already dressed in their black outfits with their 2nd degree black belts on. They seem to be going over their katas. Nicholas is gone....a note from Gabe left on the breakfast table to, 'not expect him for a few hours'. Alex has his 4th degree black belt slung over one of the chairs as he accepts the room service breakfast. As Alex is setting the table...his cell phone rings....

Voice: Mr. Alexander Edwards?

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:23 am

Alex: Speaking.

Cryonix Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:27 am

Voice: Ah, yes. My name is Robert Quarren. I am a lawyer. I'm sorry to inform you...that Mr. and Mrs. Gaines have passed away sir. The reason I'm calling is because they left you and a Ms. Alexis Edwards something in their will.

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:32 am

Alex: What...... they.......

Alex takes a deep breath.

I'm sorry.... please continue Mr Quarren....

Cryonix Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:34 am

Mr. Quarren: Yes...they died in their sleep together. Sadly, Mrs. Gaines was barren...so they named you and Alexis their son and daughter. As such....they have left all their assets to you two.

Cruel Britannia Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:40 am

Alex: They named us....... I..... I see.... so what happens now?
