 Agent Diana Peck-Kochette Outfit
Diana nodded to Killian's thinking of the reason for the two surprises. Although if he thought about it, just the pup would probably have Lyv over more often. As he mentioned the dollhouse was large, Di rolled her eyes. Wonderful her living room would be taken up by play furniture now. When he asked for a drink, Di was going to refuse, and yet before she could Kill had returned with a glass of tea that he handed to her. "Thanks."She told him as she took the drink from him, his next whispered comment taking her off guard. She looked at the man quizically as she leaned against the wall watching man and girl fawn over the pup. Now just what had he meant by that, or was he only playing?
Lyv looked to Killian as he mentioned another surprise. Her eyes glistened with excitment."Really? Another surprise?" The girls light hazel eyes turned to her mother for approval. At the nod, she turned back to her father and nodded, "Can I see it now, please?"

"I like Valentino. It is pretty cool sounding." Killian stood up straight again. He started down the hall, and stopped at at door halfway down the hall.
"Yessss! Your other surprise is in your room. Come on and check it out!" He had his hand on the doorknob. He flagged her over to him excitedly.
"Coooommmmeeee ooonnn Alyvia!" He waited till she was standing in front of him.
"Close your eyes." He placed his hand on her shoulder, opened the door and guided her into the newly decorated bedroom.
"Okay, open them!" Killian had decorated the room in what he though Lyv would like. She had a white dresser, white vanity, the desk and canopy bed matched the other furniture in the room. The sheets and walls were powder blue, the carpet was snow white and very plush. The curtains were white lace, and tied back with pale blue ribbons.
The large doll house stood in the center of the room. The doll house was just a couple of inches over four feet tell, and about 5 feet wide. The house would have to be moved via a truck bed, the same way he had got it to his house. He thought Jasper had did an amazing job with the doll house, and though they weren't exactly on friendly terms the ordering of the doll house had been fine. They kept things professional, and Killian was extremely pleased with Jasper's work.
"Do you like it Lyv?" He asked hopefully.

Agent Diana Peck-Kochette Outfit Alyvia looked up at Killian as he stood. Her eyes watched him walk down the hall then wave her over. With a last pat to Valentino, Lyv got up from the floor and followed the man."I've got my own room too?" This day just kept getting better and better for the young girl. First she gets a surprise visit to her dad's who has a puppy! Now she's got her own room in this new house and possibly... Lyv closed her eyes and let the older man direct her gently by the touch on her shoulder. She wasn't afraid. He hadn't hurt her yet in any of his touches. Plus she knew her mother wouldn't put her in harm's way. And since this was the first guy besides Mr.Aaron that her mom had brought around her, Lyv figured he was pretty cool. When his deep voice asked if she liked it, Lyv opened her eyes. They swept over the whole room, her mouth dropping open at the sight of the room. And there in the middle was the best dollhouse! It looked just like the home she was living in with her mom! A small squeal escaped her lips as she jumped up, wrapping her arms around Killian's neck and kissing his cheek,"It's perfect Daddy! Thank-you."
As Killian lead Alyvia down the hall, Di crouched down and scratched the new pup behind the ears, gently telling him, "So you're going to keep the big guy company? You better do as your told, or he might just kick you out, you know."At the noise down the hall, Valentino left her to go investigate. Di stood with a sigh. The excitement she heard in Lyv's voice brought a smile to her lips. Just as she was about to drink some of the tea, her phone rang. Looking down at the ID she frowned lightly before setting her cup down on the coffee table in the living room and walking back out the front door to answer it. It was her old partner Trebolt calling. Which was odd since he rarely had called when they were working together. So Di thought taking the call was important, and at the moment Kill and Lyv were fine. The man could handle their excited daughter for sure. Once outside she answered, "Hey, Tre, everything alright?" "Oh Thank goodness you're not dead Peck!" Di smiled with a small laugh, "No, not at all. Is that rumor going around now?""Yea, so when you coming back to disprove it? They got me believing it when they gave me this noob as a partner yesterday. Geez even Maria's giving me crap! Di paused, looking back to the house Killian had bought. She sat down on the front step, "You tell them all I'm fine. And get use to that new partner; I don't think I'll be back. They finally gave you one your could train since you always complained that I came with too many miles anyway.""What? Not coming back? Are you sick?"

"Of course you get your own room. Girls need their own private space." He returned her hug and laughed.
"I am glad you like your dollhouse. You can play for a few minutes, then it is dinner time. I am going to go let Tino out in the yard." Killian retreated from the room, trying to give Alyvia space to investigate her new room. Scooping up the glossy black pup as he went. He knew it would be a long time before she could actually stay over his house, or even visit his house for more than an hour or two. He still wanted her to feel as if she had a place with him.
It made sense to him, after all she was the reason for all the changes he had made recently. He stepped out into the yard with the puppy and set him down. He had the door cracked so he could hear Lyv call for him if she needed him. He watched the puppy sniff about the yard. Looking for a suitable place to relieve himself.
After about ten minutes Killian went back in the house, luring the pup back in with promises of treats. Once they were inside he poked his head into Lyv's room after a sharp knock.
"Go wash your hands, we are going to eat dinner now." He had to use his leg to block the puppy from dashing into Alyvia's room. The puppy would only distract her from the chore he knew.
Killian was extremely happy with his new role as Father. He wasn't sure he would be any good at it, but he knew he was at least willing to try. He would read whatever books he had to, to figure out this parenting thing. He wanted Lyv to be happy as well as healthy. He wanted her to feel like she could always talk to him, and more importantly depend on him. He wasn't sure how to make her feel that way, but he knew eventually it would happen if he continued to try.

Di talked to her old parnter for only a few more minutes,before excusing herself from the conversation. Not that she didn't have time to talk tot he man; Killian and Lyv were fine. But there also wasn't a need at the moment. All was fine, and since he had just been checking in to make sure it was so... Conversation was over. Plus she couldn't help feeling...knowing she'd rather be inside then stuck outside on the phone. Rubbing her arms lightly, Diana walked back into the house, closing the front door behind her. Seeing Killian just outside the back door and not seeing the pup, she figured the two were outside.
Walking down the hall, she easily found Lyv sitting in front of the dollhouse in her room. Di's eyes roamed the room as she stepped inside; impressed by what she saw. He really was going over the top, but it showed he wasn't only trying, but that he was happy. A knot of guilt tore threw her before theyoung girl in the room turned and waved her over to join her in front of the dollhouse; exploring and comparing the rooms.
Not long after, Killian poked his head into the room, stating it was time for dinner, and Lyv needed to wash her hands. Di nodded as she stood, "Go do as he says. His house, his rules."She told the Alyvia and followed the girl out of the room, giving Kill a smile as she passed him. When the two had finished washing their hands, Lyv continued into the kitchen, while Di first collected their drinks from the front room. The woman placed Lyv's cup infront of where the girl sat, and she took a seat in the empty chair on the other side of their daughter that had a plate setting there. Soon after they were all sitting, they began to eat. Lyv was the first to speak after tasting, "This is good, Dad."
Di smiled, and looked to Killian with a confirming nod, "It is very good Killian. You did well."

   Grace Marie De La Cruz
Date Night Outfit! <3
Grace had finally made her way back home, and managed to feed Thomas and get him to be rather content before moving to the bedroom to take a shower and get ready for the night. She hasn't had the chance to really get dressed up in a long while, so this was rather exciting. Especially if she had a babysitter for the night. The outfit she'd picked out was going to push her a little out of her comfort zone. The top especially, being a crop top it would show a bit of skin. Despite having had Thomas, her stomach had returned to it's flat state from before. That wasn't what she was worried about anyway, it was the fact that the edges of the cross that was burned onto her back stuck out a little bit. None the less, she finally finished getting ready just in time for Moira to arrive. "He has a few bottles of pumped milk in the fridge if he gets hungry. But I just fed him so for a while he should be rather content.." She moved and kissed the little guy on the forehead before turning around to Moira again. Grace knew that she was good with kids, but still felt a little nervous about it all. Not because she didn't trust Moria, because she did. But because it was the first time she'd ever left her child with anyone other than his father. "There's tylenol in the cabinet above the sink in the bathroom if he happens to get a fever or something....and his room is stocked with diapers, wipes, clean clothes..." She ran her hands down her skirt, and moved toward the door only to turn around again. "If he gets to be too much of a handfull just call me and I will come back. Sometimes he can get a little fussy and --" She was rambling, and she knew it.
Grace breathed out a chuckle and rubbed the back of her neck, shaking her head at herself. "God, I'm sorry. I sound so over-bearing. Just, call if you need anything....thank you." She crossed the distance again and hugged the woman before hurrying out to the new car, rather excitedly. It didn't take very long for her to finally arrive at the restaurant, and when she did it took her a few moments of sitting in the car to gather the courage to even step outside. She was still so afraid of someone seeing the scarring on her back, and what they might say. But, when she caught sight of Titus walking inside to take over for Orion, she honked the horn at him and rolled down the window, giving him a bright smile and a wave. It probably looked odd that she was sitting in the car, instead of getting out and finally going inside, but that didn't matter. After a second she rolled the window up and finally got the courage to get out, and hurry toward the door. "Thanks for covering for Orion tonight. I really appreciate it..." She meant it, too. They hadn't had a whole lot of time together, which she wasn't complaining about, but the fact that Titus would even go out of his way to give them a night together was something Grace was super grateful for.

Victoria Marshall
As soon as Victoria heard Jasper's motorcycle outside she perked up. It took her less than ten seconds to run down the hallway, check her hair and makeup, and grab the overnight bag she'd packed for their night they were going to have together. Her excitement about the night had only been growing throughout the day, so now that he was finally here she was buzzing. Victoria wasted no time hurrying to meet him outside, running right to him and hopping into the air, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I know it hasn't been that long, but I've missed you." She grinned up at him and planted a gentle kiss on his lips. She was so excited about any time she was going to spend with jasper. They never fought, never had any differences. Their relationship was the most perfect one she'd ever had in her life, and it was a shame that she was going to have to end it because her work had her moving. "I'm ready when you are, hot stuff." With a small giggle she kissed his lips again and dropped her hands from around his neck, letting them drift down his chest.

"Thank you ladies." Killian said with a small smile. Clearly pleased with their praise. Killian could cook a few small basic meals, nothing fancy. He could at least ensure he would not starve if Moira wasn't around. He ate his food quietly. Not really sure what to say.
"Erm...how was school?" He had never really liked school growing up. He hoped Alyvia had not inherited that one thing from him. He lifted his glass of iced tea and took a large gulp. He was always thirsty, and iced tea was his favorite non alcoholic drink. He always brewed his own tea. He hated that powdered mix crap.
Killian hit ignore as his phone began to ring. It was only Lincoln, he could call him back later. More then likely the other man just wanted to know if Kill wanted to have a few beers and watch a game, or go play some pool. The few social activities he still took part in.
"Sorry. That was was my buddy..." He was quick to apologize for the interruption. He would definitely get back to Lincoln later. Linc seemed to be the only guy who completely trusted him again. He also had not really cared about the Cadie mistake. Which was great because it was hard to come back from two major ******** ups at once.

Moira nodded her head, and wrote down a few notes. She would take the notes down just to make Grace feel better. She had lots of experience with children, but she knew how hard it was for the Mothers to let go a little. She had been a Mother, she had been through this all herself.
"It's fine Grace. Your behavior is totally normal hun. Don't apologize for doing what is natural." Moira returned Grace's hug.
Then she moved back to Thomas, she carefully picked him up. She turned him to face Grace a moment.
"Thomas, look how beautiful Mommy looks. Can you say bye-bye? Bye bye!" She guided his little hand to give Grace a wave.
"We will be fine. Go, enjoy your night out. It is important for you two to have grown up time. Time as just a married couple. It helps you two remember why you got married to begin with. Eventually the children grown up, and start their own lives. When that happens it will be important for you two to still be in love with each other, and remember what it is about the other person that drew you in to begin with." She walked over to one of the areas where she spotted a few of Thomas' toys. She picked one up and offered it to the small boy in her arms.
"Bye Grace!" Moira called as she moved Thomas into his room. She felt like Grace's departure would go easier and be tear-free if the boy was distracted. Unaware that his Mother was in fact stepping out.
Titus' head jerked around at the familiar voice. He gave Grace a huge smile when he spotted her. He gave her a little wave and then what into the restaurant. he waited for Grace to come on in. Once she was inside, she immediately started to speak to him. Thank him for switching shifts.
"Hey, it's no big thing." Titus said quickly. They were all on the same team, all friends. They had to help one another out whatever way they could. This one was an easy fix.
"Enjoy..." He whispered as he spotted Orion. The man was making his way to them. Titus gave a half way and took his leave as Orion stepped up to Grace. He leaned forward and kissed Grace tenderly.
"Hey baby. You look...." He stepped back and looked her over. A grin slowly appearing and spreading across his handsome face.
"Amazing." He finally said as he took her hand. He lead her to his favorite table in the restaurant.
"Please, have a seat." He pulled her seat out, and waited for her to sit.

((Will fix this later 😅))
Archie looked at Lena with an arched brow. Slowly a smile poked out from beneath his mustache. Of course she was stressed out about everything with her daughter. She had a right to be. But in this case she had to agree that no news was good news. She hasn't heard that Cadie was dead, she hasn't heard that she was alive either. But in most cases this was better. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you were trying to get me all alone. All to yourself." He grinned and shifted around, planting his hands in either side of her place on the counter.
His blue eyes held her gaze for a few moments, and he leaned forward to kiss her lips gently. "Of course I'll go with ya for a long weekend. You need a bit of a break." He rubbed her sides softly before walking away and grabbing himself a beer from the fridge, quickly taking the cap off. "Where will Tyson be staying?"

Grace smiled as soon as she saw Orion, and happily returned his kiss. Her hands smoothed out her skirt and a pink flush came over her cheeks. "Thanks babe." She took his hand and moved to the table with him, kissing his cheek while he pulled out the chair for her. Once they were both seated, she pushed her hair over her shoulder and grinned up at Orion. "So, what's the best thing to eat? I'll let you order for me." She looked down at the menu for a moment. "But I'm going to enjoy a glass of wine while I can."

 Lena Penelope Sinclaire-CaineLena had loved the cabin but in recent years as the marriage became more and more strained she had avoided the cabin. It seemed that was where their strained marriage was the most evident. "Tyson will be going with my sister. She and her children are all spending a long weekend away. Adventure park from what she told me. She got a ton of free passes and since Tyson is her godson and she just moved back around here after being away the last three years...she wants to spend real time with her nephew. Besides that...she owes me. Last year I had all four of her children for two weeks in the summer. So she can take Ty for a long weekend." Lena chuckled. She loved her nephews and niece but five children for two weeks was a lot, so her sister really owed her. "Uh...I was under the impression I could have you all to myself here....tonight." She gave Archie a wink and slipped down off the counter. Lena was a woman of simple taste. It was probably why David and her relationship started to deteriorate. Lena loved simple things. Picnics, walks hand in hand, a BBQ in the yard with family and friends. David loved fancy dinner parties, exotic trips with crazy itineraries, and showing off his sports cars. Very rarely could the pair agree on any sort of trip by the end.

Agent Diana Peck-Kochette Outfit Lyv nodded her head in reply, confirming it was delicious as she continued to eat the food in front of her. As he asked about school, Alyvia swallowed the mouthful in her mouth before replying "School was fine, a rather boring day today. But tomorrow we're having a party!" It was the normal Valentines day party that the school didn't refer to as such. But it would be half a day of learning the teacher had said, and then they got to eat and watch a movie and play games. So that sounded like it would be fun. She had friends now in the class, people she could talk to and play with. That made school all the more likable, even though it was often real easy. When his phone went off and he apologized for it, Lyv shrugged her shoulders,"You can get it if you need."As often as her mother had tried to keep work away from home, that didn't always stop the emergency phone calls that came up. The ones the older woman couldn't ignore, so sometimes dinner got interrupted.
Alyvia looked between her two parents with a smile. She certainly was lucky. She didn't just have a mom who loved her dearly and moved the world for her, but a kick-a** dad that seemed to do almost just anything for her. Now if only... Looking at Killian, she asked innocently,"Dad, do you love Mom?"Lyv didn't take her eyes from her father, even as she heard her mother cough a little in surprise at their daughters forwardness. Di reached for her own glass of tea to wash down any food stuck in her throat before she turned to scold her daughter for the intrusive question. Hadn't they just had a discussion the other night when Lyv asked her a similar question?"Alyvia, we talked about this. You don't ask rude questions in someone else's house. Apologize, and finish your dinner." "Sorry" the girl mumbled.

Jasper Fox
Jasper smiled as he returned Victoria's kiss and wraped his arms around her, letting his hands run up and down her back. When she pulled away to explain, he chuckled,"Well I don't care how long it's been, you give a guy a welcome like that, and we might not be going very far."He was glad she was as happy to see him as he was to see her. He nuzzled her neck before unwrapping his arms around her and just left one on her low back to guide her to his his bike.He handed her the helmet and took her bag to place in one of the saddle bags,"Where to, sweetness?"He asked her after straddling the bike and waiting for her. It was her choice for dinner. He never really cared, food was food after all. But he knew girls could be picky.Not that he had gotten that vibe from Vicki, but she was also too dressed up for just a diner with her hair all curled. So he wondered what she had in mind.

"Ohhh. Party! Sounds like fun." He responded and gave his daughter a smile.
"No the call isn't work related. It was a friendly call. Probably wanted to know if I wanted to hang out."
Killian lifted his head up in surprise to the question. It really shouldn't have been a surprise though. Didn't all kids want to know their parents loved each other? He looked from Lyv to Diana.
"No, it wasn't a rude question. It was something that was on her mind. I don't see why she can't ask something if it is weighing on her. The answer to your question is yes. Yes I love your Mother very much, sometimes you love people and it still just isn't enough. We are two very different people, and that has been problematic in the past. I don't see that changing in the future honey." He picked up his drink and had another gulp.
Yes the question was extremely personal, but it didn't bother him. Personal questions never bothered him. He was a very honest and blunt person. As far as he remembered Diana had always been rather forward herself. Perhaps that changed some since she was molding a little person.
"So don't get your hopes up Lyv. Right now we are dedicated to you. Relationships are the last thing on either of our minds."
