Braden smiled into the kiss, "i won't need sugar for my coffee kissing you." He whispered his lips brushing against hers.

He grinned, "im good...you?"

Jaimie laughed, "you're so cheesy, you know that," she asked.

"Good," Brooklynn replied. "So what did you want to do today?" She asked.

Braden laughed, "so I go good with crackers?" It was a terrible joke but he wasn't quite awake to check himself

Carl shrugged, "whatever you want. My day is wide open."

Jaimie rolled her eyes. "Exactly. Now go eat." She said, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

"Want to go to Central Park? It's actually very nice out today."

He smiled and headed to the kitchen


"that sounds great." Carl grinned, "you want Lloyd and me to come pick you up?"

"Sure," Brooklynn agreed. "See you in a bit then?"

Sasha was pushing a pile of scrambled eggs around her plate. There were a few strips of bacon next to the stove along with more eggs. Sasha didn't even look up when he came in, too wrapped up in pouting about the fact that their mother was coming home.

"absolutely" he said already heading for Lloyds apartment


Braden dished up some eggs and sat down. He didn't say anything for a few moments then reached out and touched her arm, "what's on your mind kuddo?" He asked

"Great. I'll be waiting," Brooklynn said before hanging up.

"What do you think?" Sasha replied, looking up at him. "She's going to be here soon."

Sam put her plate in the sink. "Okay. I'm gonna get a quick shower and then I cam give you lift to work, if you want."


Paige smiled, "yeah. I wish i'd told you sooner though."


Ooc: sam's thinking about trying to stop her, but she doesn't like the way she's thought of

Jarid shrugged. "I know now."

"yeah," she smiled. "do you want to do something tomorrow?"

"Sure," he nodded. "What did you have in mind?"

"We could go to the zoo or sight seeing," she suggested

He laughed. "I've got to go to school tomorrow, Paige."

"We can skip, Mondays are always the best day to skip," she said

"I've got a project due," he replied. "We can skip on Tuesday," he suggested.

"you could call in sick," Paige suggested, smiling slightly

"Or I could just turn it in and skip Tuesday."

This was going to be harder than she thought. "Okay, Tuesday."

He smiled. "Great. We can do anything you want on Tuesday."

Paige smiled faintly. If they were still alive on Tuesday. "anything?"

"Anything you want," he assured her.

She grinned, "that sounds good. Really good."

He smiled. "Yeah? What do you want to do?" He asked.

"You're gonna have to wait till Tuesday to find out." She teased

"Is it really that bad Sasha?" he asked

"That would be great." Jeff smiled as he finished the dishes, "thanks Sam, you are really great."

Sam leaned up and pressed her lips to his cheek. "So are you."

"Yeah it is," Sasha replied. "Imagine your parents speaking a different language and not being fluent in yours. And that's because they're too wrapped up in themselves."

He grinned. "Okay. I like te sound of that."

Paige grinned, "I thought you might."

He grinned and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"My dad is gonna want to meet you." She said after a few minutes

"Oh," he nodded. "Yeah, yeah that makes sense." Meeting her dad. Yikes.

"He'll like you, don't worry." Paige promised. "It doesn't have to be right away."

"Yeah. Okay. I mean, yeah I should meet him. And you should meet my dad. " he nodded.

"Yeah," Paige agreed. "Meeting your dad would be nice."

Jarod laughed. "Yeah. He'll like you, that's for sure."

Paige grinned. "really? How can you be so sure?"

"Because you exist?" he said with a laugh. "Because it means I won't be sitting alone playing video games?"

Paige laughed. "Well I'm happy to sit and play video games with you."
