Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jasper started to wag a piece of bacon at Jesse in-between bites, "You know Jesse. I paid you for that with lots of food and beer already. I don't know why you think you get my bacon now too." He laughed as the other man ran from Lincoln's scrambled eggs.
Shrugging his shoulder to Lincoln's explanation. They all had their own little idiosyncrasies to deal with. Jesse's apparently was yellow eggs. Good to know. Jasper narrowed his eyes at Linc, taking a sip of his coffee to wash down the bacon."Yea I paid you too." As Lincoln offered to refill Jasper's cup, he down the rest of it and scooted the cup closer to the leftover twin, "If you don't mind filling her up...I'll pay you for it."Jasper said with a good natured smirk as he placed 4 pieces of bacon onto Lincoln's plate.

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak,
you feel like you wanna just give up

~Cadence Jaycey Sinclaire-Caine~

Cadence was furious and was beating the hell out of Mendez in her head. Once Grace slipped back in the car she tried to calm her.
"Grace, hold it the ******** together. Do NOT give him the satisfaction of seeing you lose it." Cadie hissed as she gave her hand a bit of a squeeze. She was a firm believer in never letting anyone see they affected you. That was giving that person power over you, and she hated the idea of anyone having power over her. Had grown up believing that was the worst thing in the world.

She herself stared Mendez down until he was gone. She had to squeeze her hands closed tightly and force herself to remain calm when he winked at them. She wanted to run out and bunch that jerk right in the face.
"a*****e..." She growled in frustration as he got back in his car.

Killian was walking toward the girls now. Cadence hurried to slip out of the car and meet him half way. She and he talked some distance from the car and shot Grace a few concerned looks. Finally Cadence returned to the car, and Killian moved toward his bike.
"Switch stops with me. Killy is going to follow us back to your place. He will hang around, keep you company for a while." She opened the door and took Grace's hand. She didn't want to say that Cadence was going to pay Diana a visit and see if there was a way to get a restraining order against Mendez on Grace's behalf.
"You are okay. He is gone." Cadence said in a low calming tone. Funny how she could easily face Grace's demons, when she was terrified of her own.

"Thanks man." Jasper told Lincoln picking up the full cup of coffee. As the other man asked about baby gifts though,
the liquid almost left his mouth again. 'Baby gifts? Naw, I got no idea. Sorry man; Just usually put something together. But I'm sure she ain't expecting much. What does she need, maybe start there?" As Jasper was finishing his plate of food, Jesse came back in the room and sat down back at the table a few minutes. As jasper soaked up the last few drops of grease with toast, he looked over at the man trying to read te newspaper.
He chuckled as Linc gave the man trouble.

Jasper stood and began to put his plate away. Returning to the table to retrieve the coffee cup not long after Jesse left stating he had to work,"Yea I gotta work;just don't think I'm on the schedule here today." Draining his coffee cup, Jasp put a hand to Lincoln's shoulder"I'm gonna head out. Have a good day, maybe I'll see you for dinner." And with that the man was gone and back to his own shop feeling much better than when he had left it that morning. [

Cadence drove to Grace's home. She followed Killian to Grace's house, since she had never been there. She also had not been aware that the De La Cruz family had moved. Much to her relief Orion's car was not at the house. So Cadence did not need to explain why Grace was upset, where his son was, or why Cadence was with Grace at all.

Cadie dialed Diana's number. It was written on a card that she had with various business cards she collected. She had it labeled simply as D. Something that no one would ever think twice about if they found the number.
She listened to the phone ringing as she stood outside of the house.

She had taken the call outside so that Grace didn't overhear the call. She knew Grace would be angry and feel like Cadie was treating her like a child. No, Cadence simply wanted to protect the pregnant woman. She would simply call an Uber to get to Di if she agreed to a meeting. Then she would go to her place to get her car and have Grace call Archie to let him know she was picking Thomas up to drop the boy off to his Mother. Once that was all taken care of Cadence would keep Grace company for a bit before she left to run her errands.

~Candie~

Killian was seated on the couch in Grace's living room. He wasn't really sure what to say. He had not spent much time in Grace's company. He also wasn't sure if she had taken it personal when Killian made a play for the President seat. He and Orion had dealt with it, and were already passed that. To the two men that was ancient history, and Orion now could see where Killian had been coming from.

Besides Orion knew Killian never truly wanted the seat. He was perfectly happy with his position within the Club. He would step up if Orion needed to step away from the Club for a bit. That had been all Killian had been trying to do. Lend a hand, however at the time there were many issues within the Club and between it's members. Tensions had been running high, so Killian's play had seemed like mutiny.
"So....uh...nice house. Hope you guys like that Ninja." He said trying to start a conversation with Grace.

Lyn looked over to her phone and answered it on the second ring, Hey Lincoln.'As he stated the information about his day that would affect her night, Lyn listened. She was ever grateful to him for dropping his plans to hang out with her and help her get things done. He didn't even really know at the moment just how much she needed his help. Not that she didn't think that the Reapers Lucky and Kevin wouldn't help her if she asked. And she very well might be asking them to help her put together those cribs that came the other day. So as much as she didn't feel comfortable at the Angels Clubhouse,
she would be there for her cousin. She had taken him away from his friends many nights recently. And although she knew those men had a dislike for her that she couldn't deny, Lyn also felt bad telling her cousin he couldn't be with his friends."Sure Lincoln, that all sounds like a plan, as long as the other members of your club won't mind at least. I'll swing by around 6:15 then if that's ok to pick you up?"

She let the conversation end there. Refocusing her attention back to the matter at hand before she had to see her last patient in an hours time.

Once done with work for the day, Lyn went home to the house for a few. She wanted a little bit of time to relax and write a list of things that she wanted to get today when out with Lincoln. An armchair, a breast pump, more clothes, the changing table and dresser, hangers, diapers, toys, blankets, letters to decorate.....the list was more than she was originally thought. But she would be happy if they could even just get the furniture ordered and set to deliver. That would be a huge help and then let her start to get things in the room organized.

Soon she was pulling up outside the Clubhouse for the Angels. When she got there, she just pulled into a parking spot and texted Lincoln.
'Outside when you are ready.'

Archie Thompson

Archie looked down at the sleeping Thomas, rubbing his hand gently over the baby's back. He'd never had kids of his own, but damn if he didn't love this little fella like his own -- and he would Dereck's children too. "If she asks about Dereck, I might mention it. It's not my business to bring up." It was Dereck and Lyn's business. He wasn't sure if Lyn even wanted it to get passed around that Dereck was locked up. "He's looking so dman comfortable that I almost wanna go to sleep too." A deep chuckle rumbled in his chest, which almost started Thomas right out of is sleep. "Oh..s**t. Sorry little man." His large hand rested right on top of his back for a moment before reaching over into the carseat and grabbing the blanket to drape over him.

Lena stood up and gave a little stretch. Her dark hair was pulled back in a simple ponytail. She wore her favorite jeans and a plaid button down shirt with quarter length folded sleeves. She wore her favorite bunny slippers because she hated shoes but also hated having cold or dirty feet. She disappeared into the kitchen with her coffee mug, and Archie's usual coffee mug in her hand as well.

By now Tyson was up and had come downstairs in his pajamas. His bed head looked like he had attempted to tame it when he washed his face and brushed his teeth.
"Hi Archie..." He called and wandered over to investigate the sleeping baby momentarily. He must have decided the infant was not as interesting as food because her turned and wandered to the kitchen. Calling out to his Mother as he passed into the room.

It was about twenty minutes before Lena or Tyson emerged from the kitchen. Lena set a plate of pancakes and bacon down with Archie's cup of coffee. Tyson turned on the TV, sat himself at the floor and ate at the coffee table. Saturday, the only day he was allowed to eat his breakfast in the living room so he could watch his morning cartoons. Lena disappeared once more and returned with her cup of coffee. She lifted the corner of the cushion on the reclining armchair and pulled out the paperback book she was reading. She pulled the folded blanket from the top of the armchair and hunkered down in her favorite chair. This was her favorite way to spend a Saturday morning.

She figured if Archie needed help he would ask her to help. Right now the baby was asleep so she intended to enjoy the peace. The peace that she knew would be short lived. Tyson or Thomas were bound to start making demands.
