Grace couldn't help but smile when she saw Orion, and when Thomas noticed who it was he stuck his arms out toward his dad, grinning so widely that his pacifier fell from his mouth. It was a good thing she had one of those little keychain things that clipped to his shirt or she would have had to burn the damn thing from falling on the prison floor. After taking a seat Grace looked between Orion and Thomas, who was now babbling nonsense. The only thing that could really be understood when he said 'da-da'. When Orion spoke, Grace moved her gaze to him and smiled, even looking down at the table for a moment. After all of this time he still made her flustered, especially when he complimented her. "I'm feeling awfully round lately. Everywhere."
"So, you get to come home. Is there anything you want me to make or order for your first night back?" The next morning she was going to be going to the hospital to get the blood work done to get the paternity test, though she didn't really know how to bring that up. It was court ordered, so she had to do it and would be getting the results within a few days at most.

 Location:Jail Company: Dereck Wearing: Wearing Maralyn Ó'Conchobhair
He then began talking about how things were beginning to get heated between the two and the Skin heads group. Maralyn was probably much more worried about that news then Dereck. Would time between the two calm things down, make it worse, or would it pick up where it left off?"Isn't there some type of system in here to keep things mostly neutral?" Lyn wasn't really sure how prisons were run, never having been in one herself. Would the guards help keep the members in the two groups away from each other, or just let them slaughter each other? And slaughter she knew was an overstatement.

"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ "Round is good. Thick is good. I like it. Means you are eating. Besides certain parts of you look mouth watering when they are rounder than usual." He held one of Thomas' hands in each hand and watched him sort of bounce in place. Like he was trying to psych himself up to walk. Orion watched him, amused with his antics. "He is very chatty. He must get that from you." Orion teased with a little smile. "Yup. going home....hmmm...food? Mashed potatoes, reds, with some skin, a steak, and a cold beer. then for dessert chocolate silk pie." Even the thought made him stomach rumble it's agreement. "Are you okay? I heard there has been a Prospect with you while Jasper recovers. Has he been nice to you?" The Prospect would be gone straight away if Grace said she did not like the man, or he had misbehaved. Orion would take his wife's side with no questions. ~Ryder~ I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

 Agent Diana Peck-Kochette
The young girl stood from the table, grabbed her father's hand and began to lead him into the living room,"What movie did you bring to watch?" When he showed her the movie, Alyvia knew exactly what to do with it so that it was ready to watch. So Lyv got the movie ready while Diana finished cleaning up dinner in the kitchen and popped some popcorn. When Di joined the two in the living room the previews were almost done. She gave the bowl of popcorn to Lyv to hold, and closed the drapes as well as turned off the lights before sitting on the opposite side of their daughter so that the little girl was in the middle of her parents sitting on the couch.
It was about half way through the movie that the girl fell asleep, her head resting on Killian's chest, the popcorn bowl having been moved to the coffee table in front of the three. Di's green eyes looked over the girl's sleeping form before looking up to Killian. In a soft voice to not wake her, she asked. "What time do you plan to pick her up tomorrow for you adventure?"

"I think it's good you are opening the bakery. Finally getting yourself settled some where. Even if the circumstances leading up to it weren't the best." Jasper knew she was able to do this because her Aunt had left her the diner. Had her Aunt not died, he wasn't sure if she would still just be working there. Surely her Aunt was pushing her to take more responsibilities, but that didn't mean Cadie had been going to take over. And this way she could cook what she wanted. Not that it was good her Aunt died, but everything seems to happen for a reason. Perhaps there was a good reason she had pushed him away and they weren't together anymore. . "Hmmm.." The man thought about her next question, rubbing the stubble on his chin. Finally deciding on simplicity, "I guess it depends on what you want Cadence. You can live anywhere. Just how much space do you want?"

Grace laughed and shook her head, waving her hand in the air to dismiss Orion's naughty comments. "I wish you would have seen the way he was giving the guys the stink eye. It was hilarious. But I think it was more because he'd just woken up than the fact that he doesn't like them." She reached her hand out and rubbed over Thomas's back gently. "I'll have that ready for you, then. Do you want me to make it a big thing and invite the guys?" She wasn't sure if he would want it to be just them, or the whole MC. Either way she was fine, and she would have Cadie to help with the cooking because with Thomas and being pregnant she was a whole lot more tired than usual.
"Yeah, I'm fine. He's a little too quiet. I'm more used to Jasper talking to me or helping out with Thomas, but he isn't a bad guy. Just....quiet." Grace enjoyed conversation, and with Wolf he just kinda sat around and did his own thing. At least with Jasper she didn't feel like she was being babysat, it just felt like he was visiting. "Tomorrow morning I gotta go get some tests done. I'm opting to wait for the gender ultrasound until you can be there, if you want."

Dereck Michael Thompson 
Dereck watched Lyn and couldn't help but chuckle. She was always worried about something, and he held his hands in the air, stepping forward to her when she stepped back. "We haven't worked that out yet, sweetheart. If you'd like to be the one to pick us up, then that's fine. You need to stop worrying about things. It's not good for the babies." She already had a lot of stress on her body, and of course he wasn't helping being in prison, but still.
At the mention of the skinheads and all of that, Dereck waved his hand in the air and scoffed. "They won't do anything. Don't worry. Whens your next appointment? How much longer do we have before the babies come?" Time just seemed to all melt together, and he wasn't even sure how long she had been pregnant. It was just a big blur. He pulled out her chair, guiding the woman to sit and he took a seat in front of her, reaching his hands out to hold hers. "How is work? Have they let you onto maternity leave yet?"

Killian looked down at Alyvia and chuckled. She was passed out. He quickly stopped the movie.
"I can carry her to her bed." He offered and scooped the girl up in his arms.
"Can't believe we made this....strange how something this amazing could come from....well you know. You were there." He lowered his head and kissed Lyv's forehead.
"Oh....uh...figured about 1pm." He moved toward her room. He stopped at the door and looked toward Diana.
"Can you open that." He shifted his daughter's weight. Her jammies were shifting and making it hard to get a good hold on her.
Once his daughter was tucked in, he moved to the window. He checked it was locked. Next he checked the closet just to be on the safe side. Then he closed the door over behind him. Leaving it cracked so Diana could listen for any unusual sounds. He moved back to the living room and grabbed his jacket.

Location:Jail Company: Dereck Wearing: Wearing Maralyn Ó'Conchobhair Lyn blushed lightly and waved her hand at his words of concern."Whoever you two want to pick you up will. Just let us all know." The woman knew he wasn't saying all the truth when he told her that they wouldn't do anything.
Surely there'd be some type of mischief happening. However she did know he was just trying to keep her from over worrying.
She sat across from him as he began to ask about her next doctor's appointment and work, holding his hands between the two of them. "I' go in again tomorrow for the next appoinment. Last week the doc said we got anywhere between 8-10 weeks, and that she'd be happy with delivery between then. Babies would be healthy and developed." That was the time with adding the week that had just passed. The doctor last week had told her 9 more weeks was the earliest she wanted her to deliver by, so this week that made it 8 more to go. Lyn turned and fished in her purse, taking out the last ultrasound photo and handing it to Dereck. It was a couple weeks old, but it still was more recent then he had really seen lately.
As he asked about work and maternity leave, she shook her head, "No I'd like to save all my leave until after they are born if possible. Not sure when I'll get back then... But no worries. I'm working no more than 6 hours at a time and they have me rolling in a chair most of the time. But then again the doctor mentioned possibly needing bed rest in a few weeks, so we will see."

Dereck Michael Thompson
Dereck shrugged his shoulders, and shook his head. He wasn't worried about who would be there to pick them up because he was sure Archie would handle it. He seemed to be handling a whole lot of things involving the MC lately -- which was odd considering he was insisent that he was out of that life. When she mentioned the next appointment he pressed his lips together and looked down at the table. He'd missed out on almost every damn doctor's appointment she'd had. "You need to take it easy, Lyn. I'm serious. When I get home you're going to be catered to." He was going to let Nate take over so he would have a few weeks with Lyn. Clearing his throat, Dereck shifted in his seat and glanced at the clock, they only had a few more minutes. "I love you, Lyn. If you need anything just call Archie, or Grace, or Lucky or Kevin. They were her family, too.

Agent Diana Peck-Kochette Di stood with Killian as he picked up their daughter's sleeping form from the couch. She smiled at them both, nodding as he mentioned how amazing it was for them to have produced her. She tucked some stray hairs behind the girls ear, "I catch myself wondering some days how it all happened too. We got lucky with her. " Somedays it really all did seem like such a blur of time. From those wild nights sneaking out of this very house with him, to that hard decision and the sleepless nights to follow.
Di followed him down the hall, nodding her head."She'll be ready by 1 then." When he asked her to open the door, Di moved around his frame to push the door open. She stood to the side so he could walk in and put Lyv down in her bed. While he went to check the exits of the room, Diana kissed their daughters cheek good night and made sure the night light was plugged in on the wall.
Turning to leave the room she laughed softly to find Killian checking the closet. She walked out of the room and waited for him in the hall, "There are no monsters in there you know. And I don't think she's at the age to sneak out yet." The woman added a teasing wink to the last part of the sentence. Still chuckling softly, she followed him into the living room watching him get ready to leave. "Thanks for stopping by. It was good to see you again. I know Lyv enjoyed it. You made her night." Di wasn't really sure if she was ready to admit he had made her's too. Knowing he was alright, had put some of her mind at ease.

Location:Jail Company: Dereck Wearing: Wearing Maralyn Ó'Conchobhair She shook her head at his simplicity of not caring who was picking them up. But she knew someone would be here for them.
She smiled at his statement of that he would be taking care of her when he came home."Dereck, I'm fine, really. I'll get bored if you begin doing everything." Sure it was true she was more tired often and sunk into the couch or bed not often wanting to move when she got home. But doing nothing at all would possibly drive her nuts. Yet sure enough she knew she would be busy enough for the two of them, and all the simple household chores would be forgotten.
Her eyes glanced tot he clock, following his gaze. Cupping his cheek, she drew the man's gaze back to her, "I love you, Dereck. I'll see you in a few days. Everyone has been helpful already; no worries." She told him sincerly with a smile.
She had just had Keven and Lucky over last week to help her move around the furniture in the twins bedroom after it was delivered. And help her put the cribs together after her utter fail of losing all the tools seconds after setting them down. She wanted to get letters to spell the kids name, or at least their initials, over their cribs on the wall, but now Dereck could hang that when he got home.
Leaning in and closing the distance between them, Lyn kissed the man's lips. "I'll see you at home soon." [

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak,
you feel like you wanna just give up  [ ~Cadence Jaycey Sinclair-Caine~ Cutie Pie!Cadence did not immediately answer. She shifted in her seat. So her body was now angled so that she was facing Jasper. One leg tucked underneath her. "I am terrified if I can just be honest for a minute. I feel...overwhelmed and scared this won't work out. My Mom thinks it will, and tells me not to think so negatively. My Aunt thought it was what I should do. Even Joshua has spoken on the matter and thinks if Celeste believed in me then it was with good reason. Everyone thinks I can do this and I'm over here like.....what?! There are days I can't even get my shirt on right on the first try! Let's face it, I screw everything up. What makes anyone think I am capable of running a bakery? Correction. My OWN bakery." She brushed the silken strands back. "The idea of getting settled...here? I never thought I would end up here. I mean....I am not unhappy about settling here. It took a long time for me to realize this is home. It's what I was searching for out there. The idea of getting settled is just scary. I have lived my life as I have pleased for the most part since I was 18. Coming and going as I want, road trips, and crazy adventures with friends. I mean...my liver will no doubt thank me for not binging drinking anymore but a part of me... I am going to miss....the freedom I guess. Or maybe just miss how irresponsible I got to be sometimes.
I am looking forward to being a grown up, I just...haven't had much practice being a real adult. I was a typical college kid. Parties, bars, club hopping, keggers and spring break." She chuckled at the memory of all the wild times her bestie and she had when things were going good in her life. Cadence shrugged as she thought over Jasper's words. She shifted in her seat again. So she was no longer facing Jasper, she was facing forward again. "I guess they each have perks...I have problems with being in the apartment though." She did not elaborate because she didn't want things to get awkward. She was worried that if she said what she was thinking she would make things weird. ~Candie~ But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that sh*t out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.
~Eminem

Jasper reached over and grabbed her hand in one of his. He gave it a squeeze then let it go again. "You'll do fine, Cadie. Just give it some time; let yourself accept what you've decided for now. You work hard; you know what you're doing even if you don't realize it." He knew that she was talking about though. Deciding when it was time to become an adult was hard. There was a lot to let go of and to take in. He had done it when his grandmother died.. "This isn't the end of it all Cadence. You can still go out and have fun, just know you gotta get up in the morning." He told her with a chuckle. He looked out the windshield as she changed the subject back to the house situation she would be facing soon enough. "If you don't want to live there, then move. Whether it's in the house you build or somewhere else is your choice. Don't stay if you don't want to. Build a clean slate; since everything else is changing anyway. Might as well do it all."

"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ "Aw! You inherited the De La Cruz a*****e gene Thomas! Poor buddy, you are going to be nuts like the rest of the family." He kissed the baby's head. He watched as Thomas held his hand, and reached out the other to Grace. He took a few wobbly steps toward his Mother and let out a happy little screech. "I would love to have my buddies there, but if you want us to have a quiet night alone first. That is totally cool." He smiled at Grace. "So, Cadie will be gone by the time I get home I take it? She never seems to want to be around me." He chuckled. "Maybe you could convince her to babysit. She listens to you more than anyone else. Well...Killian is the only one who has you beat in dealing with her." He stood up and moved to sit beside Grace. "Babe, I am just glad I will be getting to go home to my family. We can figure everything else out after I get home. I can go to the ultrasound with you....if that is really what you want." He laid her hand on her thigh and gave it a gentle squeeze. He didn't want to get attached to a kid that wasn't his since Mendez would make sure Orion was cut out. So Orion was stuck between wanting to be supportive of his wife, and wanting nothing to do with Mendez's possible child. He was frustrated because he couldn't be excited or upset about the pregnancy. He really had no idea what the appropriate reaction to his wife's pregnancy was. ~Ryder~ I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around
