'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~ "Shut up Jasp!" Cadie replied playfully. She picked up a quarter of the burger, making a big production of it. "Ohhh! Burger, watch me eat!" She said sarcastically then took a bite. She chewed and swallowed. She managed to get the waitress' attention and placed the order for cake. She LOVED sweets! She knew she wasn't technically suppose to have sweets or carbs but she could not always resist. Once the cake came she pushed it toward Jasper. She focused on her drink and the fries. She wasn't really hungry but she was trying to really force herself to eat on schedule. She was trying to get back to a routine to maintain her blood sugar at a constant level. She really did not want to have to go to the doctor's more then necessary. She accepted the key and slipped it back in her wallet. "That is in the past! Jasper, I don't care if you want to date Missy, or anyone else. That is your business. We just need to be mature and respectful of each other, and each other privacy." She replied. "So....let's just put the cards on the table. Do you actually want to be a part of the baby's life? I mean...you won't hurt my feelings if you decide your not ready for that sort of role. It's cool, I get it. I just want you to know I in fact want this baby. Regardless of the role you decide to take." Cadence did not mention anything about her past with Devil. "I want you to know, there will not be retaliation from Orion regardless of what you decide. I will be speaking with him. He needs to understand that I am adult and I'm going to live my life." She poked at the cake with her fork. ~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

Doom set his bowl in the sink. He stretched and started for the door. "I live off of sugar and bike exhaust. Let's go." He said his good byes to a few people. One young lady stopped Doom to let him know she would put his clean clothes in his room.
She seemed to be flirting with him, and in typical male fashion Doom was oblivious to it. He simply said goodbye and went on outside to his bike. He handed Grace a helmet, and then grabbed his helmet. He got on his bike and waited for Grace to get on.
"Let's go. I want to get some pudding before I head into work."
He rode along in silence. Why try to talk over the rev of your bike? It was a beautiful sound in it'self. He decided to take a longer route, cruise before work really. He was surprised when he caught sight of Cadence and Jasper.
"There is your friend..." He called out as they zipped by.

Grace smiled, seeing Orion beam with pride. She was so lucky to have actually caught him when she did. Despite everything that had happened between him and Dereck, he was still able to see her for the person that she is and not as Dereck's sister. When he placed a slice of cake in her plate, she grabbed her fork, and counted to three before she dug in and took a bite. It was delicious! "For a man, you did a good job.." She teased, winking at him as she licked some frosting from the corner of her mouth before taking another bite.
Her eyes looked him over as she ate the cake, and he looked damn good in his nice dressy outfit, and he had gotten dressed up for her! Once she finished her slice of cake, she helped him clean their mess in the kitchen, then moved to wrap her arms around his neck. "You said you wanted normal, and I'm probably the most normal person in the world. You sure you want someone as boring as me?" She moved in and kissed him quickly, smiling against his lips.

"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ Orion took a bite of the cake. It wasn't bad. He had done a crap job of applying the icing. It had been messy and harder then he thought it would be. He was satisfied with his efforts though. He listened to Grace while he ate in silence. Finally he decided to speak. He wasn't normally a mushy or sentimental man. He like his father before him realized the importance of family. Unlike his father he realized that family wasn't always bllod, and blood was not always family. "Imma be straight with you. My club is my family, my family is my life. Any of them will tell you I would do anything for them. I would lie, kill and steal for nearly any of of them. You look at them...at Belle, and me...you don't see criminals, bastards, and thugs. You treat us like people, like equals. You understand that yeah at times we may be out there doing some grimy sh*t to get by, and make a life for ourselves and our family but we do it out of necessity. Look...my father turned his back on his club. He let the negativity and drama flood over and couldn't deal anymore. He thought by turning his back on them he was choosing his family, and doing right by us. He wasn't. He lost everything. He always said one of his biggest regrets was losing his family. Not being strong enough to fight for it. You understand. You know what this life takes, you don't make me choose. You don't play games. You don't see me and think about what I can do for you. That is refreshing. I don't have to be guarded around you constantly. I also know I can be 100% real with you. That is hard to find. A person who really sees you, and accepts you as you are."He ate some more cake in silence. He eventually set down to the fork and went to the fridge and grabbed himself a beer. He popped the top off and threw the cap in the recycling. "I love spending time with you. I am not sure what the future holds, but I hope you are apart of it. You make life a bit more interesting and managable. You make me feel like I can and want to get up and hustle another day, and actually come back here. I never considered this place my home. It wasn't my home. My home was where my heart was. My heart was in the club. Now....it is hard sometimes but whatever. My heart is in two places, and I have to choose. Coming here never ever feels like the wrong decision, and I know if my other family shows up you will accept them and treat them like they are just that. Family."Orion had not set out to find love, as he said he didn't really believe in love. Not in the romantic two people forever concept. However he felt like in Grace...he found a partner that he adored, respected and honestly wanted around. It had nothing to do with sex since there was none of it. To him that was an amazing thought. He had wanted women around before but to fill his sexual needs, and once that was done he was perfectly fine with them parting ways. This was different though, and he really liked it. This new found peace and harmony. This was a whole different type of relationship, one that he could learn to like. ~Ryder~ I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

Jasper  Jasper finished the quarter of a burger in a couple bites, then began to sip at his lemonade as he watched Cadie eat her fries and a little bit of the burger. He smiled at her sarcastic attitude, but at least she was eating on her own accord and trying to be healthy. Would make everything easier. No one would have to stress out as much yelling at each other for that. .""
She pushed the cake towards him, and Jasper pushed the cake back towards her so that the plate rested in the middle of the table. After she took a bite, then Jasp took a bite of the chocolate lava mountain."Oh I very much plan to be apart of the baby's life. Your life too, if can be. I know when we last talked your feelings were unclear, but Cadence, you know I've always loved you."

 : Maralyn Ó'ConchobhairLocation: Streets of town Company: Lincoln Wearing: Outfit Maralyn rolled her eyes at his comment. Still a child he was. As she followed him out of the club, she raised her brows at the woman who stopped him to return clothes. Obviously he wasn't picking up any hints. Usual male. Couldn't grasp subtle hints; he needed it spelled out. Like they all obviously did. And some needed more than that.
Lyn gave a little wink and wave to the other girl just to start a fire, before following Linc with a muffled laugh hidden behind her hand. She took the helmet from him, and climbed on behind him. As he drove around town, he pointed out that Cadence was outside a resturant with Jasper. Maralyn wondered what they were talking about. Last time she had talked to the brunette, Cadie was still unsure about Jasper and the other was....Dereck she had said. Lyn would have to remember to call or text her so that they could talk about this. She was interested to hear what was going on.

'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 enjoying the cake. It was damn good chocolate cake, which in her opinion was hard to find. "This is good cake Jasp..." She paused and looked up at him. "Jasper...I don't know about us. I don't like that jealous and insecure female that I become when I am with you. I have never, ever had this problem before. With you...I don't know." She set her fork down. "I don't want us to be together because of this either...." She motioned to her mid section. "It happened...so what? No reason to be together. You say you love me...I know you have always cared about me. I care about you too. I really do....I am just not sure...if we should be together. I mean....right now...I don't want to be with anyone in a physical sense. So that is something else that you should think about. Right now I want to make sure my baby is healthy and will have a safe home when he or she is born."She asked the waitress for the check and rummaged her wallet. She pulled out some money as the waitress returned. "Jasper, we hooked up and...I was using you. I apologize for that. I wanted to just be with someone who accepted me as I was. Someone who knew me and did not run away. I went to you because you have never made me feel bad or ashamed, and I regret that because you are definitely the sweetest guy I have ever met. I feel awful that I dragged you into my crap. I want us to be able to co-parent successfully. I want us to continue to be apart of each other life. I am not sure if I can be anything more to you. I am...not someone you should want around though." She paid and got up. "I am going to go. I think I should be on my way."Cadence felt uncomfortable discussing her feelings. She felt even more uncomfortable discussing a relationship with Jasper. Partly given what she had just been through, and partly because she had always just not thought much of herself. How could she really? Her father had never really been there for her. He was never really in her life. Her step father had used her teen pregnancy as a way to be rid of her. He sent her a way and never allowed her to return home. Then Devil had ditched her first chance he got. Next came Alex....he had used her for his own selfish reasons. She hooked up with Jasper for all the wrong reasons. Next....she was forced into adult films to pay off a debt her ex who had used and abused her racked up. She had never had a normal healthy relationship with any male in her life. She really didn't feel like she was worthy of love. She had trust issues with males as well. Jasper was a great guy, she really wanted to be with a nice guy eventually. She just didn't feel like she deserved to be with anyone like Jasper or Dereck. Cadence was at a point in her life where she was not sure how to proceed anymore. She was unsure of everything right now. ~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.

Doom finally pulled up in front of Mara's place. He waited for his cousin to get off the bike.
"Gloom will be stopping by after work. He will be here in a few hours." He got off his bike.
"Want me to check out the house before I leave....?" He started up the steps of the house.
"Unlock the door." He said as he stepped aside. His dark eyes were on his cousin.

Grace Marie Thompson 
Grace listened to Orion as he spoke, and she only allowed her smile to grow bigger on her face. Of course she would see him for who he is as a person. The things he does for work does not change who he is. He was right, she never made him choose between her or work, or anything for that matter. Grace understood that there was more to his life than their relationship, and that was alright, just like how he understood that she had other things in her life. She worked long hours as a nurse, and still he never complained about her hours or anything. This was the first time she had ever had a relationship like this, and it was refreshing.
"Of course I accept you for who you are. You should never feel like you have to choose between me and your work.." She grabbed her glass and finished off her wine, before placing it into the sink and taking Orion's hands into her own, pulling him close to her. She snaked her arms to move up around his neck, letting her eyes look over his face.
"But, I can be a little selfish, and now that we are here and have time to ourselves, I want you all to myself." She laughed softly and kissed his cheek. This was nice to finally have their time together, not that she was complaining, but they had not had a whole lot of time to spend since all of this crazy stuff had been happening. She wanted to take advantage of every minute and spend as much time as she could with him.

"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ "Ohhhh baby!!! Behave!" Orion replied in his Austin Powers voice and started to laugh. He pulled her close and kissed her lightly. "I am all yours for another couple of hours. Then my Mother will be dropping Isabelle off. I barely trust her to babysit, let alone keep my daughter overnight. So we can do whatever you want." He gave her a little squeeze. His green eyes were taking in all the details of her pretty little face. ~Ryder~ I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

Grace Marie Thompson
Grace laughed softly, looking to glance at the clock when he mentioned that they only had a few hours left. Her hands slid from around his neck, and a mischievous glimmer flashed in her eyes. She knew exactly how she wanted to spend the next few hours before Belle came back. Grace pulled Orion along with her, as she led him towards the bedroom. "I know exactly how I want to spend the rest of our time together...." Once they arrived inside the bedroom, Grace closed the door behind them and turned to face Orion, lifting her shirt over her head and tossing it to the side. "I have waited way too long to have you to myself. I think I deserve a reward.." Grace felt a blush rise to her cheeks as she moved closer to him, letting her fingers work the buttons on his shirt.

Orion was almost disappointed Grace and his alone time was now at an end. Almost. He was excited and pleased to see his baby girl. He enjoyed the adult time, right much in fact!
He just knew he could not truly rest with his daughter in his Mother's care. We had threw on the first pair of pants and t-shirt he saw. He was waiting outside enjoying a cigarette as he waited for his Mother to arrive.
He frown when he saw his sister strolling up the street. He had not realized she was gone. He actually hadn't checked on her since that morning.
"Cadie."
"Rion."
"You okay? I didn't realize you were out."
"Rion, do you think Jasper and I can work as a couple?"
"Oh geez. I don't know. Jasp is a good guy. I have to be honest...I hate you with him. He is my friend. He is a member. I want him to focus on the club and not be distracted, or endangering you with our business."
"So what am I..."
"Oh sh*t." Orion looked to the car that had pulled out. His Mother stepped out, and Cadence turned around to see what the problem was.
"Going up to your place. Lock the door." Cadence crossed her arms over her chest and lifted her head.
"Belle is with her..." Cadence begrudginhly went in. Ignoring his Mother's curses, taunts and insults.

Jasper A frown creased Jasper's facial features for a few minutes as Cadie went through and explanation of not wanting anything and having just used him. He shook his head, cleared his expression and shrugged. How she described her feelings when she was with him, he could easily add up to her actually caring about the relationship. But if she needed time to figure that out..."Well when you decide Cadence, I'll be here. I'm not giving up on us." As She stood, he also did, he took out his wallet and placed a few bills down for tip, returning the ones Cadence had put down to her. He was here. He could help pay. ""I'd still like to be apart of the child's life."He knew her dad wasn't in her life much and well her stepfather had been horrible to her. But his dad hadn't been the greatest either. And although he worried about turning out like the old man, he knew he wouldn't without a fight. Jasper wanted to prove he could be a good dad, to himself as much as to anyone else.
Before she left he asked, "Do you need a ride anywhere?" To which she only shook her head. Jasper watched her go sadly. Before he left the restaurant, he grabbed another quarter of the burger still sitting on the plate. Returning across the street to this shop, he replayed the message that had been left.

: Maralyn Ó'ConchobhairLocation: Apartment Company: Lincoln Wearing: Outfit As they arrived at her apartment building, Lyn got off the bike and set the helmet down on the back seat. Her eyes scanned the parking lot finding her bike. A small frown came to her lips, she hadn't remembered leaving it there. Pulled out of her thoughts by her cousin's voice, she turned back to Lincoln,."What? Why? I love you guys and all, but Linc I don't need any type of babysitter. I'm a big girl now." As nice as it would be to see her cousins on a regular basis, and nice to have company at times. She also missed her privacy and quiet times. Plus she wasn't exactly use to someone looking over her shoulder like this. And her place wasn't that big; it was only a one bedroom after all.
She shook her head as he asked if he should check her apartment. No one would have come here or should be here. None of those guys knew where she lived, or shouldn't. It's not like they abducted her. But then he was flying up the stairs to the third floor. She followed him with a sigh, leading him down the hall to the last door. Fishing out her her keys she mumbled "You don't have to, but by all means."
As her cousin luanched through the door, Lyn once again frowned. On the far side of the door sat her backpack with a note on top. She grabbed both before heading in after Lincoln, reading the note as she went.
Mara,
I hope you understand now it's not safe there. I will be sure to return in a few short weeks. Then we can return back home together where I can keep you safe and taken care of. As I told you before, your debts I can clear. If you really want to stay down there for God knows what reason, I've found land I can convince my father to buy for a cattle farm down there. The money's there and so is the logic.
Till I see you again love.
Dyl
Maralyn scanned the letter another two times before ripping it in half and then half again. Fury rose quickly inside of her. Who did he think he was? Why couldn't he have taken No for an answer? And hadn't he done a marvelous job 'taking care of her' the last week in a half? The jack**s had done nothing to stop anything!
