 Location: Dereck's Company: Wearing: Outfit
To: Dereck
From: Lyn
'That sounds like a wonderful idea! I'm certainly game. I'll see if Linc is free, if you'll check with Grace, and round up the men? I'll make sure we are stocked.'
Lyn texted Dereck back moments after she had received and read his text. She stood up from her position and stretched before moving to round up the 5 pups. They had found that 3 were female, and 2 were males. The easiest way Lyn had found to get the pups back inside was to snatch 2 up, herd another 2, and then Zeke usually followed her anyway.
After getting the puppies back into the fenced pen in the kitchen, she grabbed the phone out of her pocket to text Lincoln.To: Lincoln
From: Lyn
Hey Linc, not sure what your up to tonight, but we were going to grill some food. Wanna come by?'
The short woman looked into the fridge and freezer first to see and count any hotdogs or patties that they had. Before standing on her toes to see what buns they had on top of the fridge. Making a short list in her head, Maralyn grabbed her keys and headed out of the house, making sure to lock the behind her. Within a few more minutes, Lyn was shopping around the grocery store.

Jasper
Jasper stepped out of the shower, and wrapped a towel around his waist before checking his texts. He first texted back to Cadence.
To: Cadie
From: Jasper
'Thanks, babe. I'll be by soon.'
Then he quickly texted Orion back.
To: Pres
From: Jasper
'Sounds great. Let me know when you guys are free.'
With those two texts sent, Jasper continued to get ready for dinner. He dressed in jeans and a black t-shirt under his Angle's cut. Then he was on his bike and heading to Cadence's . As he arrived he saw Killian and Lincoln leaving, "What you two leaving already? Something up?"He asked starting in a joking manner, then in a more serious tone. Perhaps something had happened at the club? But as both men just shook their heads and continued to get on their bikes and ride off, Jasper shrugged and walked up to the door. He knocked and waited for Cadie to answer.
Well this would take on a new level being alone with Cadence. First time that had happened in a while. Jasper was kinda nervous about it, but also kind of excited. But if she had other plans, he could always take the food she had saved in a doggy bag. Jasp wasn't sure what else Cadie would be doing since she had invited them all over since she was off tonight. Maybe Tessa or another friend from college was back in town?

Lincoln had just demolished his second cupcake. Delicious, he thought happily when his phone went off. He fished it out of his pocket and was surprised to see a text from Lyn. He must have talked her up. He grinned and replied quickly.
'Sure! Second dinner sounds perfect! Will there be a third dessert? What is your new address, since you moved in with the Reaper.' He sent the message and went up to his room to change.
He decided on changing just his shirt. He put on a long sleeved plaid button down shirt. He changed his belt as well, deciding on a plain black belt. Not one with a decorate buckle. Then he was gone, on his way to see his cousin Lyn.

'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 paused her episode of 'Gilmore Girls', and stood up. She moved toward the door and opened it. "Hey! Wasn't sure if you were still going to come...you know since your Crew just rode out." She stepped aside and waited till he was inside, before she closed the door and locked it. "C'mon. Let's get you fed. I feel like your getting so thin." She pulled his plate from the oven. That's where she had it, so it would stay warm for him. "Beer? Wine? Soda? Milk?" Leila set his plate down, and gave him a smile. She grabbed a glass from the dish rack, and walked toward the fridge. She looked back at him expectantly. She absentmindedly smoothed her pencil skirt down. She tried to think about the last time she was alone with Jasper. Sometime during the pregnancy. No wonder she was feeling a bit nervous. ~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

Location: Dereck's Company: Wearing: Outfit
To: Lincoln
From: Lyn
'Sure thing. LOL I'll make sure there's dessert too.'
Maralyn replied to the text her cousin had sent with a smile. She added the address of the house before sending the message. Then quickly went to the baking aisle for a box of brownies, before heading back to the check out lane. It wouldn't do if her cousin got to the house before she did. Lyn was excited he was coming by. Excited Dereck had thought to invite him by. That was something she had left up to the man to decide. She knew Lincoln was from the other MC; so the two obviously didn't hang out. Lyn had been visiting Lincoln every now and then at the Angel's clubhouse for that reason.
Lyn had returned back to the house in less than 15 minutes from the time she had first left. Bringing the bags into the house, she let them rest on the kitchen counter to let the whining pups out of their caged area. Her small frame then moved out of the house to start the grill. It was charcoal, so it took some time to warm up. Better to have that ready so food could be ready quickly. Going back into the house, Lyn began unpacking the bags, putting the beer bottles into the fridge before starting to marinate the burger patties.

Dereck Michael Thompson 
Dereck was in the back of the shop, he had already closed everything down and the guys were sitting out front, waiting for him to come and brief them. In that moment he got a text message from an unknown number, and with it was a picture of Grace standing by her car with Orion. The message simply read:
Met your sister today, such a lovely young lady.
She is absolutely glowing.
Give us the guns we need, or things
will get messy.
- JF
Dereck could feel himself start to shake, and despite the money the gun business was bringing in, he needed to get rid of his deal he made with the Irish. Immediately after getting the picture he called Grace, inviting her and Orion to join them at his house for dinner. She happily agreed, and said she was going to talk to Orion about it as well. After the phone call, he got another text from Lyn, and it happened to bring a smile to his face, despite the anger that was brewing inside of him.
Will do, babe.
Need me to pick up beer?
After that message was sent, he moved to the main room, giving the guys a briefing about the Irish, and what to watch out for. Hell, he even assigned Nate to stay watch at Grace's house, despite the fact that Orion was living there now. Even though they were married, and expecting a child, he still was uneasy about the man.

Jasper
The blonde man stepped into the house with a nod, his blue eyes scanning her form up and down.
"You look nice Cadie. Did you get all cleaned up for us? Wish I had known the occasion." He told her with a smile. That pencil skirt accented her curves perfectly. He had thought it was a casual dinner, but perhaps he should have dress up more for the event.
He looked to the closed door behind him,"Any idea where they went in such a hurry?" He asked referring to Killian and Lincoln. The two had barley said a word to him. Maybe they had told her before leaving.
He followed Cadie through her house into the kitchen, "A beer is fine." As she took the plate from the oven, his mouth watered. It all smelt so good. "Jeez Cadie, it all smells so good! Thanks for saving me some. I really appreciate it." He told her, picking up the plate and grabbed a fork from the drawer. Leaning against the counter, Jasper began to dig in. "And it's certainly better then it smells!

'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~ "Thanks. I actually never got changed from work. No occasion. I felt like having some of my favorite people over, so I decided the best way to get them here was to feed them." She set the cup down, and instead pulled out a mug from the freezer. She popped open the beer and poured it in the frosted mug. She set it down beside him. "They didn't say where they were headed, or what was up. I know it was Orion who called though. I heard his voice." She turned back to the fridge, flipping her dark hair over her shoulders. She pulled out the V8 Splash and poured some in her glass. She put the bottle back in the fridge and turned back toward Jasper. She smiled at him. "There is plenty of food. Eat up. The two two only ate once before they had to leave." Cadie moved to the table and sat down. Crossing her legs as she sipped her juice. "Have a seat. I won't bite you. Promise."~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.

Lincoln stopped to get flowers for his cousin. He took his time going over to see her. He did not want to be the first person to arrive. Once he was there he got off his bike, adjusted his shirt and grabbed the flowers. We started up the walk way and once at the door he knocked. It was weird to think he would be hanging with the Reapers' President tonight, in his home.

 Grace Marie De La CruzWEARING THIS
Once Grace finished her coffee and talking with Moria, she washed her cup and made her way back out to the main room, looking around. Orion had the men in the conference room, so she took a seat at the bar, pulling her phone out to scroll through it a little. While she was sitting there, she caught sight of Lincoln leaving the club, dressed in a completely new outfit. Grace wasn't sure if Dereck and Lyn had invited him over for dinner, and if they had, hopefully things wouldn't be tense. Especially since Grace was sure that the entire Reapers club would be there as well. Not that there was a whole lot of them, but Dereck, Lucky and Nate.
She looked back to the room, biting on her lower lip. Hamburgers and hotdogs sounded lovely, plus she would get to see her brother for the first time in three months. She knew it was because of the fact she was married to Orion, he kept his distance. Plus he was not happy about the pregnancy, at all. When the men emerged from the room, she lowered herself from the barstool, walking towards Orion with a small smile. Her fingers hooked in the belt loops of his jeans, and she kissed him lightly on the lips. "My brother invited us over for a cook-out. I really want you to come with me. Lincoln will be there." That, she wasn't entirely sure about, but she said it anyways.

Dereck Michael Thompson
Before long, Dereck was on his way home. Nate and Lucky were following behind on their bikes, and when he pulled up he caught sight of Lincoln's bike. It was nice to see that he was actually going out and about, especially since the death of his brother had taken such a toll on him. When the bikes shut off, he turned to Nate and Lucky, looking between the pair with a serious gaze. "Don't go pulling any stupid s**t. The Angels aren't here for work, they are here for dinner. Keep your ******** comments to yourselves, and have a good time." Lucky laughed, saluting Dereck. "Got it, boss." He took off towards the house, obviously hungry.
Dereck hung back outside with Nate, his VP. "Grace coming?" He asked, his Australian accent thick. Dereck lit up a cigarette, leaning against his bike as he did so. "Yeah, but I don't know about Orion." Just saying his name felt like there was acid dripping from his mouth. Dereck hated that Grace married the man, and not because he was his rival. It was because he was unstable, and irrational, at least, in Dereck's eyes. That whole family was crazy, and he hated that Grace married into something like that.
Nate lit up a cigarette as well, and looked down the road as he blew out smoke. "Don't worry about her. I'll be watching her house. Nothin' will happen to her on my watch, that I assure ya." His tattooed arm reached out, patting Dereck on the shoulder.

"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ Times like these Orion hated being the understand kind husband. What he wanted to say was '******** no! No, we are not going to Dereck's house! Guy can't even keep his own troubles in his own damn town!'. What he said though was a lot nicer. "Uh....how about I drop you off? I have quite a few things I need to take care of at the bar and garage." Orion knew it had been ages since she saw her brother. He had no desire to keep her away from her family. She had very little in the way of family, and he did not want her to be estranged from the little she had. Even if that meant she was in contact with Dereck. Family was extremely important. His own broken one was living proof of that. "It was nice of him to invite you. It has been a while since he acknowledged your existence huh?" A smart comment, but one he had been unable to stop before it was out. Orion did not like Dereck. He wasn't shy about it. He tried to keep it to himself since that was in fact her brother, but he felt like the guy was a b***h. A man who is afraid to get down and dirty to take care of business was just that. "Come on. I will drop you off. It is important to you." He took Grace's hand in his and lead her away from the bar. "Bye Moira!" Orion called as he lead Grace out of the Club. ~Ryder~ I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around
~Five Finger Death Punch

Grace Marie De La CruzWEARING THIS
Grace pressed her lips into a line, and furrowed her eyebrows. She really wanted Orion to come with her, mostly because she had not been around those guys very much, and it would be kind of awkward to go alone. Considering she got married without telling a soul about it. Once they made their way outside, she shook her head and sighed. "I would really like it if you came with me, but I'm not going to force you to do something you don't want to." The disappointment on her face was evident, but she forced out a small smile for Orion anyways.
Once they got to the car, she opened the passengers seat and ducked inside. His comment made her feel a little guilty for wanting to see Dereck, and she shifted in her seat nervously, chewing on her bottom lip. "Well, I haven't acknowledged his existence either, so I guess I'm a bad person for that too." She was fairly silent for the rest of the ride, and when they pulled up to Dereck's house, he was standing outside enjoying a cigarette with Nate. Grace turned to Orion, and gave him a small smile. "I'll get a ride home with someone, you don't have to come back and pick me up." She leaned over the seat and gave him a soft kiss, before opening the door.
Nate was there, offering his hand to help her out of the car. "Aye, mate. You're not planning on staying?" He said, ducking his head down a little to look at Orion through the window.
Grace closed the door, and shook her head. "He has some things he needs to do." Nate merely nodded, glancing between Grace and Orion before enveloping the blonde woman in a hug, and planting his hands on either side of her belly. "Hows the little future Reaper, eh?" Grace only laughed, shaking her head at him, moving to go inside.
Dereck had lingered behind for a moment, looking from Grace, to Orion, and then back to his sister before following the pair inside, tossing his cigarette butt to the side.

Location: Dereck's Company: Wearing: Outfit Maralyn looked to her phone, reading the words that flashed across as a text from Dereck, as she washed her hands. Once dry, she responded back,
'To: Dereck
From: Lyn
Got it all taken care of hon. Just come home when you are ready.'
Then she finished getting the patties together before taking them out to the grill on a plate. The men would probably be hungry when the came, so might as well get something ready. Arriving back into the kitchen, she watched as the fluff balls went yapping towards the front door. Shrugging Lyn followed them and answered the door. She smiled seeing Lincoln standing there. Her frame moved out of the way and she scolded the pups to do the same so her relative could come inside, "Thanks for coming Lincoln. It means a lot to me."
She told him once he was inside and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Lyn closed the door and waved for her cousin to follow her as she moved back into the kitchen.
Opening the fridge, she grabbed one of the beers, and popped the cap off before handing it to Lincoln,"I know this may not be the most comfortable place, but thank you for coming. I just hope it's with good intentions in mind."Lyn didn't doubt her cousin. Especially since he looked nice and it was so good to see him. However as always there was sure to be tension between the two MC's. Hopefully having some of them in the same house every now and then for such dinner as family dinners could be done peacefully. Tonight would be the test of that for the most part, especially if Orion showed.
The red-haired woman set back in the kitchen getting together the items needed to make the brownies. As she set to work on mixing all the ingredients, she asked Lincoln,"So what's new since I saw you last?" After she got the baking pan with the brownie mix into the oven, Lyn's blue eyes gazed over to the new person in the room that most of the pups had rushed over to greet.She moved to grab another beer from the fridge for Lucky, as well as Nate and Dereck when she hear the door open again. She left two of the bottles on the counter ready for Nate and Dereck before she moved to give one to Lucky,"Hey, Luck, How you been?"

Jasper
Jasper nodded pausing in his inhalation of the food,
"Food is always welcome, especially food this good. But so is good company from a pretty woman you know." Jasper followed her to the table and sat down next to her. His head nodded as he continued to eat and she explained Orion had called. Well if it was a club thing he was needed for, they would get a hold of him as well. Since he hadn't heard anything yet, then perhaps they didn't' meed him yet.
He laughed,"You did have Killian and Lincoln eating here right? And they only had 1 helping of this food? Did you drug them?"Jasper stopped and drank some of his beer, sitting back in his chair. "How have you been Cadie? Work treating you well? I'm sorry I haven't been around much, work got busy, ya know. Almost got your order done. Was thinking I'd bring it by tomorrow?"
