Life's Rough and Then You Die

[Sw33tie]

Okay I pay with dis one now Soapy? Kriss did her best to listen to both the kids and Henri as he was boring the hell out of her with plans for photo shoots and appearances at parties. At that moment the very last thing on her mind was showing up at some party just to make other people seem relevant in the public eye. Besides, she had her own wedding to plan still, she was launching a children's clothing line and it still needed some attention, and Tom wanted to take a few more photo's of her for some project he was working on. It seemed like after that show with VS he just couldn't put the camera down. "No Soapy! Is my!" Kriss sighed as she held her finger up for Henri to stop and made her way out of the messy office and into the living room where the two kids were playing. "Hey, what's going on out here? Xavier you have to share." Her voice was a little stern but faltered a little as he looked up at her with a slight pout. "Mommy" He started as he got up from their little McDonald's toys and made his way over to her with a frown.

"Mommy, daddy no share. He say "No Eh-Savior! You don't touch!" I pay with the cam-ma too mommy?" Kriss watched as the little boy frowned with a sigh and did her best not to laugh. It was sort of difficult to explain to Xavier that he had to share. He was starting to think the same rules applied to his parents. "Xavier, that's daddy's camera. It's not a toy." She said softly. "And dats my toy mommy." He stated pointing over to his little McDonald's toy as if he were putting his foot down. Kriss rolled her eyes as she kissed the top of Sophia's head. "If you don't share with Sophia then Sophia and I'll just play together and leave you alone." She told him, his eyes bugged open and he launched himself onto the little girl with a vice like grip. "NO! Okay Soapy you can pay with me! Pease?!" He asked while keeping his grip on her. Kriss chuckled a little to herself until she saw Henri walking out of the office.

"I'll see what I can do about all that Henri, I will but I mean, I have the wedding, Sophiana's recital, we have to make an appearance at Marly's concert, the clothing line still needs the color swatches for the spring line and not to mention a three year old to take care of, the last thing on my mind right now is some rich kids party." She said as she continued to make her way to the kitchen and kissed the top of Tom's head with a devilish grin. "Why don't you ask Tom maybe he'll show up to her sweet sixteen." The chuckle couldn't be hidden then, there was no way in hell Tom would show up to some rich kids party. Henri let out a half hearted laugh as he made his way to the door and muttered that he'd rather try his luck with a rabid pitbull. She laughed a little as she looked at the photo's he was holding with a soft look in her eye. "Heard you're not sharing in here daddy." She said with an eyebrow cocked before she gave his lips a peck. "Tom, do know we don't have to do the whole traditional Korean thing for the wedding. My dad will get over it, besides it'll be so boring." She couldn't believe her father was holding her to a promise she made when she was five... Then again he had been a little upset that she didn't tell him she was engaged, he was even more upset that Tom didn't ask him for her hand. What did he expect though they had been living together. She had never planned for him to find out through a magazine, just as she hadn't planned on paparazi getting hold of pictures of Sophia, Mike and Xavier when her and Jeza took them to the zoo. Then again a lot of things in their lives didn't go as planned did they?...

Marlon Aaron Hendrix
The Quiet Bad a**

Marly sat in Konan's studio tapping his foot to the new beats the guy was letting him hear for his new hit song. That's right, Marly had a number 1 hit out, and it was blowing up all over L.A. He had always felt weird before, saying that he wanted to be a rapper, so he never really told anyone. It was one of those things, that was said so much by so many amateurs that if he did say it people just wouldn't take him seriously. One thing for certain was that he wanted to make music. He wanted to be on stage, hearing millions of people calling his name, singing his songs. As the music died down Marlon heard a pair of footsteps stampeding through the house and he glanced towards the door. 'What the hell--" He started before Shelly raced through their space.

He watched her with wide eyes, even Mikey looked up from his little game and watched her as if she were going crazy. "What the hell's going on?" He asked in an uneasy voice and quickly snapped his mouth shut once his brother's eyes settled on him. "Hey watch your mouth." Mikey rolled his eyes and went back to his game as Konan's girlfriend went nuts. All in all Marly liked her, he thought she was the perfect match for Konan and she fit right into their little clique like a missing puzzle piece. Marly watched as she ran off and chuckled to himself a little. "Yeah you've got one crazy chick... Then again I guess she has to keep up with you right?" He laughed to himself, even Mike chuckled under his breath as he glanced up at the two boys. Mike was definitely turning into a little man... And he was... Let's just say hormones were starting to make an appearance. It was a little early but better late than never right... Right?!!!

"Are you guys almost done yet?" Marly let out a deep sigh as he threw a look over his shoulder. "I swear to god I'll paint your room pink if you don't shut up over there!" He growled at his brother as the little boy sort of mocked him and went back to playing his game. He swore sometimes Mikey was such a little monster. "Yeah hit number two is almost done, I'd be done a lot faster if Mike wasn't always such a distraction... and well um... Wait serious?! Lemmie see those!" He couldn't contain his excitement as he took the letters out of Konan's hands and started to read them. Two were from women, very suggestive women, it made him blush as he quickly put those two down in fear of getting in trouble, another was from a guy somewhere in D.C asking if Marly would go to his youtube page and listen to the cover he made of his song. The last one was from an eight year old girl telling him how her and her mom would listen to his song on the radio on her way to school. He thought that one was really sweet and decided that he'd be writing back to her. "This is so cool." He said under his breath, Kriss told him plenty of times not to let the fame get to his head, of course he never did, but that didn't stop him, her and Scottie from seeing who was more relevant than the other. Of course she had been in the spotlight ever since the end of high school but now he was making a break through, and Scott was the fresh face and newlywed of the patriots.

Needless to say, life was pretty cool, Jeza was doing her own thing with music, Jazmine was cheer leading believe it or not, and his friend was doing some photography. Maybe he could design the album cover. Him and Tom once again lived close to each other, but in a completely different neighborhood. Honor bought his daughter and her family a house and Marly got his little family a nice condo. Life was what he used to dream it would be like back when him and Tom did runs. It was what he had thought his life would have been like if his father had ever given a s**t about him. A scream knocked him straight out of his thoughts and the three guys gazed towards the door as Marly stood up and raised an eyebrow. "Hey, are you guys alright in there?" He called out before Jeza came running over and snagged him up into a hug. "What the hell happened?" He asked with wide eyes as he looked to Shell first then back to Jeza. When he heard the news his wide eyes looked to Jeza for confirmation then he grinned and scooped her up while he spun her around. "I told you!!! Your music is amazing of course people love it!!" He yelled before he kissed her cheek with a grin and squeezed her once again in a hug. He was proud of her, very proud of her. "Are you kidding, I love rock bands, all music is important music." He said before leaning in and placing a peck on her lips, then pressed his forehead to hers with a smile. "I'll be there. No matter what." He told her, how could he not be there for Jeza's debut?

Scott Marcis Hannaway
The Quarterback

Scott couldn't believe it... He was finally here... PLaying for the Patriots!!!!! It was less exciting than he thought. Well that was a lie, it was just as exciting, he just hadn't expected the hazing he would receive from these guys. At the begining of the day someone put hot sauce in his cup and it burned like a b***h. If they were trying to make sure Scott wouldn't get Jazz pregnant and take a leave to take care of their child than they were very effective. Scott was pretty sure he'd never be able to have kids with the way his wee wee still stung. Other than that they hid his clothes, made him do embarrassing performances and got him to lick a street sign. He thought the hazing in high school was bad... It was practice time and the guys were in the locker room chatting about the different things they had done over the break. No one really spoke with Scott though. He was a little surprised, and then again... He wasn't. He was the new guy, and he was pretty sure they were all waiting to see just how good he was before any of them associated themselves with him. He grunted as he got his clothes on, checking every nook and cranny for any unwelcome surprises that may be lurking inside before he put it on and headed out to the field.

He was still excited to play for the Patriots, but today was just a very VERY rough day. They all made their way out onto the field as the coach for the line backers made his way over to them. The same man who had watched Scottie play back in high school and offered him the job. Scott smiled and found refuge in the familiar face however, it didn't smile back. Alright boys today is going to be a rough practice! This is where we weed out the boys from the men. It's the starting process to determine who will be on our front line, our substitutes and back ups. We do have openings for some of the front line positions, however some, as you know are already taken." He stated as some of the other coaches broke off their groups and started their practices. "Our linebacker position is open. With that being said, give it your all. This isn't the day to slack off." Their group finally broke off, Scott took a deep determined breath and then they began... There was dirt... Everywhere. He felt grimy and dirty and looked even worse, however he was doing pretty well. Scott knew that he had to keep pushing himself. He jumped caught the ball. Every exercise that was thrown at him he completed. He didn't dare let himself collapse. Until the whistle blew and the coach called for a break.

Scott sat down on the grass and drank from his water bottle trying not to let the dirt from his hands get on his face. "You're one of the new guys right?" He looked up as the shadows from some seasoned players blocked out the sun, and with a gulp he nodded to them. They didn't tell him he was good, their ego's were too big for that but they got to talking about the playoffs and all that good stuff. When the cheerleaders finally came out the guys started whistling and commenting on the girls as Scott sat their and gave Jazz a little wave. When they asked who she was to him and he told them she was his wife they couldn't believe it. They started to say that he was going to miss out on some crazy bed demon's if he was tied down but Scott didn't care. Jazz was all he needed. Their practice was finally over and Scott sat down on the bleachers waiting for Jazz to finish with her cheer practice... He never thought that girl would ever even think to join cheerleading, let alone let Lisa and Kriss teach her.

Sophia cringed a little bit when Xavier latched onto her tightly, looking to Krissy with a bit of a grimace before she looked down at her little brother...nephew...or whatever. " Okay okay...my arms turning purple" she said and walked back with the little boy with all the toys and what not. She did get annoyed with him from time to time...but...it was still nice having a little brother...or at least a little kid around. Sophia sat down with the little boy as he started to share his toys...she seemed to be a little lost in thought though. It was sorta with everything that had been going on....lately at least. It sorta seemed like...there was no time for lil Sophia anymore...and there hadn't been for a little while now. Though she never told anyone this...except for...Mike. Yes he was Mike now...she didn't realize she had stopped calling him Mikey...but he never seemed to mind...the two of them were still as close as ever...even with puberty starting to take affect. Sophia had truly grown into a lovely young lady...and she was very much interested in both Modeling and Photography....still didn't mean she didn't want all of her brother and Krissy's attention. Sophia sighed softly again and let Xavier babble away even more at her while she halfed paid attention.

Hearing Krissy made Tom chuckle, looking over his shoulder for a moment as he felt her lips at his cheek and then gave him a kiss on the lips as she spoke about the Korean wedding and cringed. " Oooooh no. We're having the wedding...Honor will never forgive me if we didn't..." he said, rubbing his face. Oh he sure did get an earful of that man when he found out he hadn't asked for his daughter's hand properly...but of course Tom held his tongue and didn't say a word no matter how much it frustrated him. "...it doesn't matter what I want anyways...its what you want...but I mean...it is tradition I guess..." he sounded so unsure about it but laughed and held her close a little bit before kissing her nose a little bit and sighing. " I think we should take a break come on outside with me" he said, pulling her hand and dragging her outside before Sophia could notice. Their backyard was pretty nice...they decided to do a little gardening to make it look a little nicer..it was Sophia's idea. He strolled dsown the little pathway with Krissy and closed his eyes.

" So how did everything with Henri go?" he asked, holding her around her waist and rolling his shoulders a little bit.

Konan and Jezabella Conners

Jeza could do nothing but blush when Marlon said that he would be there and that he would never miss it. She gripped his chest a little bit and hid her face in his chest, she didn't know why but lately whenever he said stuff it made her super giddy it was weird! Not that he seemed bothered by it in the least it was totally cute to him and often he took advantage of that. Konan was laughing a little bit as Shelly wrapped her arms around his waist and watched her as Marlon held her and snickered a little bit. " Soooo when are we gonna make a duet?" she asked suddenly, she had been pushing that idea for like...EVER. Jeza peeked up and narrowed her eyes at her for a moment...she knew why...and knew what she had been working on...was suppose to be a duet. Shelly merly grinned and looked to Marlon. " You're going to have to be careful Marlon...Im pretty sure a ton of your fans are going to be there if they know Jeza is going to be there...you know what that means~" she said in a little singsong voice before Jeza huffed a little bit. " And the first girl to throw her panties at Marlon again is gonna get smacked in the head...El Cabong Style..." she muttered before Konan and Mikey started to laugh at her which made Jeza blush even harder. " Hey st-stop laughing!" she cried, hiding her face again in Marlon's chest.

Jeza didn't mind Marlon having female fans...it came with the whole beign a #1 hit rapper and what not...of course there were females constantly fawning over him...it was the fangirls that would go out of their ways to get his attention...and a good handful of his fangirls didn't like Jeza...not that it mattered or anything. " Anyways...." Jeza said, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear and looking back up at Marlon brightly, I guess I should call them and let them know I'll be opening their show...and that Mr. Hendrix will be attending with me~" she said before walking to the kitchen to call them. Konan watched her leave for a moment and laughed, plopping back down on the couch and pulling SHelly into his lap. " I don;t know why you're pushing that girl to do a duet...you know shes nervous as hell as it is..." he said, pinching at her side a little bit and let her giggle. " Because Jeza is ready to get out there...do you know your girlfriend has like her little notebook FULL of songs? We need to get her in her stat I say...marlon you should talk to her about that..." she said with a little grin, if anyone could convince Jeza to actually record something...it was him.

Love Me Hate Me

" Okay ladies...I'll see you guys later..." Jazzie said, waving goodbye to the girls as they giggled and walked on off. The girls wore her out to be honest...with their constant chatter about which football player that were more likely to sleep with and what not, keeping Scottie out of their mouths well...because they were married now and they wouldnt be stupid enough to admit that they would want to sleep with the guy. She often wondered if the football players were the same way...they were probably giving SCottie a hard time about being married and all...but...Scottie loved being her husband...after all...she loved being his wife after all. When she saw him sittign and waiting for her...it brought her back to the highschool days when he would wait for her after school when she had dance practice...it made her smile and her heart swell up.

" Hey handsome" she said softly, before giving him much of a chance to respond before she gave him a loving kiss, stroking at his cheek a little bit before she sat down in his lap in her work out shorts and tank top. Her arms wrapped around his neck before pressing her forehead against his with a warm smile. " Did you have fun at practice? It seemed like it..." she said, stroking at his chin a little in a seductive tone before giving him a growl and another kiss with a giggle. " No hotsauce in the cup again today right" Her poor husband had been through hell with the hazing...and she thought she was going to have to kick someone's a** when she found out what they wer doing to him...of course she didnt say anything and was totally polite to the rest of the team and what not. The cheerleaders weren't nearly as brave with the rookies...at least not with her.

" Ready to go home? You hungry baby?" that was a silly question he was always hungry!






Say What You Want About ME

Kriss rolled her eyes and hung her head when he said they were doing it the traditional way. "I don't know, sometimes I feel like I want the traditional because I barely have a family and it would be cool to have at least one family tradition... Then again I wanna be like Mulan and break away from tradition to kick some a**." She mumbled as they made their way outside. She glanced around at the little flowers her and Sophia had planted with a grin. "The garden actually turned out pretty nice, glad Sophie talked us into it." She said quietly before she felt Tom's arms around her waist. Kriss leaned back into him with a little sigh feeling her stomach turn a little as she thought of what her and Henri spoke about... What she had been thinking about for the last month and a half. She didn't tell anyone what she had been thinking about but... Well maybe it was time.

"You know Henri, he was talking about more photo shoots, parties that he thinks we should go to, this girl from our old high school asked him if he could hire me to go to her sweet sixteen. It's themed around fashion... "

She rolled her eyes but couldn't help but giggle since she knew she did something like that when she was sixteen. Well not really, her, Greg, Scott and Lisa all went to Paris for her sixteenth birthday. "And we spoke about the clothing line... I was thinking of making Sophia the face... I''m sure she'd want to do it, she's really into the whole modeling thing... And um... Well there's something serious I need to talk to you about..." She said quietly as she broke away from his grip and turned around to face him. Kriss glanced over Tom's broad shoulders to make sure none of the kids were looking for them before she sighed and took some folded papers out of her pocket. "Um..." Her voice and fingers wavered a little as she looked from Tom's molten eyes to the paper and back again before she bit her bottom lip.

"I haven't um, spoken about this with her yet... Because I wasn't sure how you'd feel but um... I-um... I just feel that... Look, I know I can't replace her mom... Your mom, and I'm not trying to at all but... I'm just saying, Sophia's starting to get at that age where you know, she can feel alone... and confused... And I know how that feels... And um... I just... I don't want her to feel like I don't love her as much you know... I don't want her to feel like we're just starting this new little family and she's going to be left out of it. I mean, Xavier calls me mommy, and I can see it on her face and I just..." She let out a deep breath wiping at the tears that had escaped and then looked down at the adoption papers.

"I want to adopt Sophiana Tom. You have sole custody of her and... Well I've been here for her too. She might not be biologically my daughter but... Well she's still my daughter..." She could barely hear the words escaping her own mouth. Sure Kriss had heard Sophia call her mama, or mom a couple of times, Kriss had treated her like her own, taken care of her, whenever she spoke about them she said my children... But... Well she had never actually singled out Sophia and said she was her daughter... She was always afraid of what would happen if she did. How would he take it... How would Sophiana take it if she ever said that to her?...
