Grace furrowed her eyebrows at him, though she couldn't bring herself to be upset at him. He was dealing with a bunch of different things right now, so he had a right to be kind of distant. She nodded and stood from the couch, wiping her hands on her lap. "Don't stress about it, Orion. If you can't make it, then it isn't a big deal." She moved to the kitchen, rummaging through the pantry until she heard him speak again, and this time her head popped around the corner. He was thinking that they needed to get married?
Her head tilted to the side, and she blinked a few times. It made sense, because she didn't want to be with anyone else, either. She also did not want him to get any ideas and be with someone else. So, she nodded slowly. "Well, until I get a ring and a proper proposal, I am not giving you a firm answer....yet." She laughed and winked at him, grabbing a handful of M&M candy before returning to her spot on the couch, right next to him.

"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ Orion stood up and followed Grace. He placed a hand on her hip. "Well Grace, I told you this is not how I wanted to do this." He kissed her neck and then stepped back. "I don't expect a yes until I officially ask." Of course he would get her a ring, and ask properly. "Grace, why don't we go ring shopping. You pick out exactly what you want. I want to right size, right off." He moved around her, stepped in front of her and hugged her to him. "I will take care of everything else baby." He leaned in and kissed her gently. "I love you Gracie, you know that right? I wanted this to be different....way different." He pushed her hair over her shoulder, and leaned his forehead against hers. ~Ryder~ I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

 Location: Apartment Company: Dereck Wearing: Funeral
Her blue eyes looked up and watched his form make it's way back to the kitchen. Something seemed to be bothering him. Perhaps it was the baby, still. Was it the idea of the baby? Or the fact that the baby would be his sister's? The two siblings were obviously close. But hadn't he just said it was good his family was expanding? But then again, he had admitted he was scared. Scared for the whole idea. If something happened to Grace, Dereck she was sure would be inconsolable. So what if something like what happened to Orion's daughter happened to Grace's?She could even have lost it just recently. It would certainly be a blow to the man. So it was only lucky that the blonde woman had kept the child.
After closing and setting the computer back on the ground, Lyn followed Dereck into the kitchen. She wrapped her arms around him from the behind, resting her cheek against his back. She hadn't realized at first how deeply it affected him. Lyn had only thought... didn't matter. He was upset, and that didn't need to be."We don't need to talk about it anymore."
After a few moments she drew away from his tall, warm form. Lyn turned to grab some plates down form the cabinet just before a knock at the door came. Perfect timing. The red head crossed to the door and opened it to find one pizza man there holding a pizza. She took the box, paid the bill, then closed the door turning to Dereck,"Are you hungry enough to dig in, or are you going to be stubborn and wait for the next one?"

Jasper Between everything happening with the Mafia gang and the matriarch stating the outcasts took another girl, Jasper didn't have much time to question Black farther about what he meant that Cadence had been in the hospital the night before. He figured he would ask later.
So he stepped out of the clubhouse before the other two men that had yet to change, and straddled his bike as he waited. When they came out ready to go, Jasp kicked up the kickstand and was revving his bike out of the lot following close behind the forms of Titus and Black. His form pulled up next to them close to where they had only hours before to get Cadence, Lyn, and Grace. As Titus gave directions, Jasper nodded his head in understanding.
When he entered the warehouse building and after clearing most of the main floor, he noticed Titus walk down the hallway they had found the girls last time. Jasper could not go down that hall again; not unless truly needed. So instead he lead his men down into the basement. In the rooms down there, they did not find any notion of a girl being locked anywhere. No instead there were tables upon tables with chemistry looking contraptions, drug cutting tools, and packaging tools. All tricks of the trade for these guys. As Jasper looked through each room, not even sure of the drugs they could be concocting up down here, his gun was held out in front of him. They didn't find any other human within the confines, and so began to make their way back to the main floor.

Titus Once the door was broken down they found a white room. The room was completely white. It was a bit unnerving, Titus stepped in the room. He looked around and immediately stopped Wren in a straitjacket that was hanging on chains. His eyes widened. She looked completely out of it and had a ball gag in her mouth. "She's in here!" He yelled. Before he could get close to her a few of the men rushed in and began to remove her from the chains. They lowered her, removed the gag and started to question her. Titus pushed his way up and to Wren. He peered into her eyes. "Let's get her out of here...she looks out of it." He started to unbuckle the straitjacket and the men helped Wren to her feet. He wasn't sure what they gave her but he was concerned about her.

Black Black heard Titus yelling and started toward his voice. Titus didn't sound freaked out, so he assumed everything was okay. He could see the men coming down the stairs. Wren was with them. Titus was holding her up with the aid of one of Millie's guys. "Jasper! they found her!" Black called through the warehouse." Black was pleased to see this story had a somewhat happy ending. Wren was alive, and didn't appear injured. Though the mental damage that was done was unknown. Who knew what mental warfare the girl was put through.

Grace Marie ThompsonWEARING THIS
Grace could only laugh, shaking her head when Orion came into the kitchen, explaining that it was most certainly not how he wanted to do things. She had a mouthful of M&M's or she would have commented back. She did not need anything amazing. Something simple would be just as good, because it was the love behind it that counts. She swallowed down the chocolate, following him with her eyes as he moved to stand in front of her, pulling her into a hug. "You had to know that I would say yes." She spoke against his chest, and tilted her head up to welcome his kiss with a small one of her own. "You could give me a ring-pop and I would be perfectly happy. But, if you insist, then I know a place where we could go look." She would have mentioned that they could use her mother's ring, but Dereck had possession of that, and she was absolutely not going to ask him to give it to her. Not with everything that happened, and the fact that he would freak out knowing that she planned to marry Orion.
When he pressed his forehead against her own, she leaned back against the counter, brining her hand up to hold his cheek. "I know, and I love you. I know this isn't exactly what one would consider storybook... But, that's okay." She kissed him softly and smiled, nodding her head to him. "Our lives are to damn crazy to be considered storybook." Her thumb stroked his jaw gently, letting her eyes look into his.

Dereck Michael Thompson
Dereck had been lost in his thoughts until he felt some dainty arms wrap around him from behind. Her touch was enough to pull him away from those brooding thoughts and bring him back to the present. He was here, with her, and happy. She was safe and alive, and that was what mattered the most. His free hand stroked her arm gently, and he felt a small frown tugging at his lips. Dereck had not meant to damper the mood between them by focusing on his grudge that he held against Orion and the Angels. Tonight was supposed to be about them. "I'm sorry. I know I said I didn't want to talk about that stuff...I shouldn't have brought it up." When she released him, he turned around and followed her around the kitchen with his eyes. Despite everything she had been through, she moved with such grace.
Dereck peeked around the corner when the doorbell rang, and for a moment he reached around, placing his hand on the pistol that was stuffed in the back waistband of his jeans. But, when he saw that it was one of the pizza delivery men, he relaxed. Her next comment had him grinning, and he moved across the kitchen to place his beer on the table, and his hands on her hips. "I thought you liked my stubbornness." His head dipped down and he planted a kiss on her lips, rubbing the tip of his nose against her own. "We can start eating now if you are hungry, but I think waiting for the deep dish pizza would be so, so worth it." He chuckled softly and released her hips.

Jasper As Jasper heard Titus and Black call out that they had found Wren, he moved quicker up the stairs bringing the men to the main floor. They all dispersed out of the building quickly after Wren, Titus, and the rest of the men. Jasper himself left with Black. He turned to the other man as they arrived back to their bikes, "So do we know what they did to her?" His eyes glanced back to the warehouse building, "They have something brewing in that basement. Do we think it's wise to keep this thing here?"What could they do to the building without arising suspicion? Burn it. But then again warehouses didn't burn the same as houses. Especially ones not made of concrete and brick. Knocking it down would cause someone to start poking around. But it didn't seem right to leave it standing either."Now what happened to Cadie last night?"

Location: Apartment Company: Dereck Wearing: Funeral Lyn had shrugged when he apologized, "Don't apologize. I'm glad you told me."She was happy to know that Grace was pregnant. Happy to know that out of everything, Dylan and the Outcasts hadn't completely ruined everything as much as they wanted. That baby would stand as testament. And now she also knew about Dereck hesitations. Whether it was particular to Grace's situation, she had yet to figure out. But it was out there.
A smile came to Lyn's lips at his touch and the grin on his face. As his lips met hers, she kissed him back gently, laughing as he rubbed his nose against hers after. She inhaled his simple clean, leathery, masculine scent. " I love your stubbornness. Almost matches my own." She replied in a joking tone, looking up to him with her head tilted to one side.
When his hands let go of her hips after he stated he would wait for the other pizza. She nodded, and turned back into the kitchen with the pizza between both hands. She placed it into the oven, and turned the oven onto the lowest temperature. That way the pizza would stay warm while they waited for the second one to arrive. Lyn moved back over to Dereck, and picked up his beer off the table taking a sip, "So, what you wanna do while we wait for the other one then?"

"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ Orion gave Grace a squeeze, and tickled her a bit. He smiled at her, and buried his face against her neck. He loved how easy it was to be with Grace. She made him feel comfortable. When he lifted his head he kissed her lips and straightened up. "You deserve something mind blowing. Something to make all your little girlfriends jealous." He grabbed her hand and lead her out. "If your not sharing those M&M's we are out of here sweet cheeks!" He smiled back at her. "Story books are lame....we are like kick a** Comic Book characters!" Orion wished the last few weeks had not happened, he wanted this to be a happy time for them. Babies and weddings should be happy occasions. Instead Grace had been given a half a** proposal, an unexpected pregnancy after a funeral for a baby that was essentially hers'. ~Ryder~ I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

Black Black shrugged and looked back at Jasper. "No idea what they did to her. She isn't right though. Seems out of it and is freaking out a bit. Physically she looks okay though." Black glanced back at the men surrounding Wren. "Jasp, your right. I don't think it is wise to keep this place standing. Want to go in with me and trash it? Start a fire....anything to get it out of operation for the time being." He started back toward the building. "Ah s**t man. I didn't want you to worry about her. i am handling it....you won't let it drop though. I know your type...Cadence tried to kill herself. Failed attempt/ She is fine! The blonde you met this morning got to her on time. She will be okay Jasper. I spoke to the people at the hospital..." Black looked around the basement. He started to knock stuff off of the table. Threw a few things, and stomped on pieces. He enjoyed the sound of the breaking glass.

Jasper So they weren't just doing physical torture here but mental as well. Did that have to do something with the drugs? Jasper shook his head. What was wrong with these ********? His head nodded, and he headed back towards the building with Black. He stopped in his tracks at what Black said had happened to Cadence. He couldn't believe the man was just brushing that off like that. But at least she was ok and alive. He took a steadying breath before continuing to follow Black into the building, "I'd like to see her when she's stable." He couldn't believe Cadie would do that. Sure life had been hard, she had been through a lot, lost alot recently. But how could she think that was the answer? It made no sense to him. Sure he had been down after she had told him she didn't want to see him, after they had lost the baby... Jasper shook his head again as they made their way downstairs, "Nevermind. If you've got it handled, I don't need to step in."She didn't want him.
Before throwing things down on the ground, Jasper looked at a few of the things. What kind of place was this? What were these guys into? THe operation seemed bigger than they had thought at first. So perhaps this would be a longer and larger problem that they had originally thought."Now what happened to Cadie last night?"

Black Black paused and looked at Jasper. "I don't know what is going on in her head. I had her hospitalized...she will be held for a mandatory 72 hours. Blondie doesn't know yet, and I get the feeling she will try to bust Cadie out. So....after this I am going to head over to the hospital. I will have Cadie stay in the Club where I can keep an eye on her." He went on breaking things. It felt good if he was being honest. It let out some of his frustrations. "Look...I am not trying to cut you out. I'm not pulling an Orion....I just figured you didn't want to be around her. I am not sure what is going on with you two, but I do know you both are grieving. I figured the last thing you needed was to be trying to help her through the same thing your not even over yet. You can see her whenever you want. Personally I think you two should be together. What do I know though?" He pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

Grace swatted his hands away as he went to tickle her, scrunching her nose at him. Though, when he moved and buried his face into her neck, she couldn't help the feeling of happiness that seemed to swell inside of her. She really, truly loved this man. More than she had ever loved anyone before. She rolled her eyes, pushing him playfully at the mention of making people jealous. "Yeah, yeah. I'm sure the last thing my friends will notice is my ring, I mean, look at my face.." She pointed to the scars on her cheeks, before following him as he pulled her outside. His comparisons were laughable. She unlocked her car, giving him the keys as she moved around to the passenger side, opening the door. "I like to think more of like a horror story. Especially with the things that have happened lately." She ducked down into the seat, making sure to buckle up before he got inside as well.
She was not completely sure where they were going, but knew that as long as she was with Orion she was happy. This was the most time they have spent together...well, throughout their whole relationship really. It was nice.
