Killian was only just entering town when his alert sounded. He paused at the red light and read the text from Grace. He frowned at it. Why was Orion fighting with her when she was pregnant? That guy could be such a dumb a**! He quickly texted Grace back.
'Hey,
I just got back in town. I am OMW to the Club. I will look around there to see if he he is hanging about. If so I will text you. Don't worry, he is probably just having a few drinks with the guys. Blowing off steam.'
Almost as soon as Killian arrived and started asking about he found out Orion was in fact there. That Orion had been drinking and disappeared with a new pretty little blonde to his room. Killian immediately stomped off to Orion's room to stop him from doing something stupid. Unfortunately the blonde was making her way away from Orion's room.
'Rion is here. He will be sleeping it off tonight, but will be back first thing in the morning.'

 Grace Marie De La Cruz 
Grace found herself getting more and more anxious about Orion not coming back, and when Killian finally replied to her she felt her heart sink. If he was staying at the club then that probably meant that he really was mad at her. She didn't think their little fight would end up to him staying away from home, but maybe it was for the best, especially if he had been drinking.
To: Kill
From: Grace
Okay.
Thanks for letting me know.
She wasn't sure what else to say to him, but assumed that she did not need to tell the man to take care of him because they were going to do that anyway. After sending the message she turned off the TV, and made her way to bed. The pizza sat on the table untouched. The idea of Orion leaving in such a rage, and now not coming home had her stomach in knots, and she had immediately lost her appetite. Not to mention she was stressed out about the whole thing. When she laid in the bed, she grabbed her phone, deciding to send Orion a text that he could wake up to.
To; Orion
From; Grace
Hey.
I'm sry about what I said.
If you feel that is something you need to do then
I will stand behind you.
I love you.
After she sent the message she crawled underneath the blankets, and attempted to get some sleep. She had a few more weeks of work before she got her maternity leave, so she needed all the rest she could get.

"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ The next morning Orion was laying in bed. Still asleep and his head was pounding already. It had been a long time since he went on a bender like that. Killian watched Orion sleep for a moment and then banged the large cookie sheets together. Orion jumped up, and Killian grabbed the fog horn and sounded it off. Orion grimaced and fell out of bed covering his ears. Kill sounded the horn again and Orion hurried from the room. Kicking the blankets off of him as he moved. "That's right! Go home! Go home to your wife a*****e!" Killian followed and chucked Orion's shoes and keys after him. He continued sounding the horn waking the whole house up. Orion dressed as he ran from Killian who was terrorizing him with the fog horn. His head hurt so damn bad! He got in the car in his boxers and shoes and drove home. Killian hadn't thrown the rest of his clothing after him so he was freezing in the early morning chill. Orion made his way into the house. He went straight into the bathroom. He needed a hot shower to thaw out. He was shivering from the cold. Rion grumbled as he turned on the water.
~Ryder~
I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

Grace Marie De La Cruz
Grace was already awake and dressed for the day by the time Orion came home. She had turned around from her spot on the couch with just enough time to see him run through the house in only his boxers, which made her heart stop. For a few moments she was frozen in place, contemplating what she needed to do next. Confront him? Let it slide? After a few more moments she took the coffee cup she had in her hands and threw it at the wall, ruining the miraculous cleaning job she had done the evening before. Because she was already dressed, she grabbed her purse and keys and drove straight to the clubhouse. Oh, these boys seriously had better give her information because she was not the hormonal pregnant woman to mess with.
It took maybe a few minutes of her speeding into town to get to the club, and when she did there was a fire in her eyes. Yes, she was hurt, but first she was angry, and she was going to deal with that anger first. Her eyes looked between the guys, who all looked like they had just woken up as well. "Where is she?" She asked, looking around the clubhouse like a lion looked for it's prey. Because of the stress she was beginning to have a few contractions, but she ignored them for the most part. That wasn't what she was worried about at the moment.

Her blue eyes looked over his form as she took a couple steps back. He looked worn out. She knew he had been busy at work; pulling a lot of long hours recently. "How are you doing?"She asked. It had been a little bit of time since they had actually had any time to talk. And somehow she felt like he was pulling away from her."I know you've been busy at work. Everything going alright?"

Dereck Michael Thompson
Dereck turned around when he heard Lyn's voice, and it was like music to his ears. He had been using the cocaine to stop his thoughts from plaguing him, when her voice did it for him anyways. "Hey babe." he shrugged off his kutte and walked towards her, taking her hips in his hands. "I'm actually starving. i would love that." He pressed his forehead against Lyn's and closed his eyes for a moment, breathing in her scent. She was the one thing that seemed to pull him back to the ground, back to reality.
After a few moments, he released her hips and rubbed the back of his neck, shaking his head. No, he was not okay. He was stressed, and turning to cocaine to deal with it. "I think i really ******** up, Lyn." As he said that he moved to the fridge, grabbing his bottle of Jack Daniels. His blue eyes were dimmed, and he had some slight bags under his eyes. "I said some things to Grace that I didn't mean, I have been dealing guns with the Irish...I feel like everything is just coming down around me." For the first time since becoming president of the Reapers, Dereck had no idea what to do. Now, he was reaching out to Lyn to help him.
After taking a long drink of the whiskey, he breathed out a sigh. "What should I do, Lyn? If I back out of our deal it could mean a war, if I stay in it could mean that I go to jail. Hell, they are looking into me for the disappearance of Tommy. I don't think they will find anything, but if they do that could mean big jail time." His eyes closed again, and he groaned under his breath, holding his head in his hands.

Jasper
Jasper smiled as she took the flowers. Maybe that had been overboard, but if it made her happy then it was worth it. He took a step in the house and let her close the door. Then she turned and asked him to finish zipping her dress. His blue eyes took in her form in the skin tight material. He nodded, taking a step forward before tucking the jewelry box between his side and elbow. Slowly and carefully he zipped the back of her dress. The material was tight and he didn't want to rip it, but also wanted to make sure he didn't pinch her skin.
As she turned back around to face him stating what else she had yet to do, he waved it off,"You look beautiful. Take your time Cadie. I'll hang with fuzzy pants over there." He replied pointing to Fatty on the couch. As he moved another step he grabbed the box from under his arm and held it out to her, "And as promised here is your jewelry box. Hope it's as you wanted. If not I can make another."

Location: home Company: Dereck Wearing: Outfit Lyn nodded against his forehead as he rested his head against her's after stating he was hungry. She stayed close to him until his hands left her waist. It had been nice to be close to him again; to feel his warmth taking away other troubles and just wanting to make her melt.
As she moved to take the containers out of the fridge and dished some of the noodles and sauce on a plate before placing it in the microwave, he replied seeming so exasperated. Even as he moved to the fridge and took out the bottle of JD. She turned, looking him over even closer. The bags under his eyes stated he wasn't sleeping well, the dimness in his usually bright blue eyes seeming like he had given up. A frown crossed her face. Had she really been missing all these signs from him?
Lyn crossed to him again, and grabbed his hand, giving it a squeeze. "Dereck, I'm here anytime you need me. So let's see what we can solve, starting with one thing first. Do you want to tell me what you told Grace, or about your Irish deals?"Maralyn had a feeling neither would be easy to talk about for the man. But if he was willing to talk, like he seemed to be. Maybe she could do something to take the weight off his shoulders. Even just a little.
She watched and listened as he took another sip of whiskey and divulge some more information. She bit her lower lip when he mentioned he could go to jail; twice that was an option. It wasn't any option she liked, or one that she would think as any solution. But right now he needed her calm. So that's what she had to be, even if her mind was racing. Especially not because of what he did to Tommy for her. Lyn put her hand over his that was holding the bottle, steadying it,"First of all Dereck, drinking won't help at the moment. Let's put it down. How long have you been dealing with the Irish, and the cops looking into you for Tommy?"Lyn had just found out today that there was even an investigation going on for the man. And the Irish thing she figured had to do with those guns Dylan mentioned as well. And from someone she didn't want to think about right now. As Dereck let his head fall into his hands, she kissed the top of his head,"You're not going to jail Dereck. I'll do everything to stop that, do you understand?"
Lyn took a step back from him, taking a deep breath as she grabbed his plate from the microwave, placed a fork on it and moved to sit at the table placing the plate in an open spot. She had an idea of how she might be able to help him avoid the Tommy conflict, but she need to hear all the facts first."Come, eat. Can you finish this deal you are currently working on with the Irish, then get out? Cancel all future deals?"

Dereck Michael Thompson
Dereck wasn't quite ready to admit to the cocaine problem, mostly because he was ashamed of himself for it in the first place. He had never wanted to get into that s**t, it just happened one day when he went to collect payment from one of the local businesses in town. The owner saw how exhausted he looked and offered him a little to ease his mind, at no cost. That was a few weeks ago, and now he was addicted. He couldn't get it out of his mind. When he did a line, it was like he was a whole new person. Felt invincible. Colors were brighter, things were clearer, and he felt like a million dollars. Now that he was coming down from his high, he was feeling like s**t again. Sluggish and tired.
When Lyn stepped away from him and asked which problem he wanted to deal with first, he immediately thought of his sister. They had been together their whole lives, and despite the things he said to her, he didn't mean them. He had been coming down from a high and was angry, he had no one else to take his frustrations out on but her, and when he did he instantly regretted it. "I told Grace Orion only uses her as a booty call. I said that he will never love their baby like he loved his girl that passed." His hands set the bottle down, and he slowly moved to take a seat, feeling his nerves getting the best of him. "I ruined our relationship, and I have a feeling I am going to pay for it for the rest of my life." When his eyes met hers again, he couldn't help but feel his heart swell.
Here was a woman that was willing to do anything to help him, and he had been neglecting their relationship. It wasn't that he didn't love her, because he did. More than words could express. But there were other things on his mind and he was allowing them to take over his life. "I'll have to get with Nate to get with his Irish contact. Maybe there is something we can do to connect them with our supplier directly, leaving us out of the middle of it." Just then he took a bite of food, feeling how hungry he had actually been. Being so busy kept him from eating, and he was starving.
As far as the Tommy thing went, he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know how long. Grace's ex works in the police force in town, he told me to watch out. That's all I know." His eyes dropped back to his plate as he continued eating, almost like his life depended on it.

'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 hurriedly put the flowers in water, and returned. She accepted the jewelry box. She hugged it to her chest after she examined it. "Thank you. I love it!" She turned and went back to her room to finish up. It only took her about fifteen minutes to finish up. Not long since she touched up her hair and make up. When she finally returned to Jasper she was completely ready to go. "I'm finally ready." She walked to the back of the couch, rested a hand on his shoulder. She kneaded his shoulders lightly. Her eyes on Fatty, who was laying beside Jasper. ~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.

Location: home Company: Dereck Wearing: Outfit lyn winced at his words he had told his sister. But that woman had known him all his life! She had to know that he hadn't meant it. Knew he was stressed, and even Lyn knew he didn't like Orion. "Alright, well you certainly need to apologize to her. Why did you even say that?"Lyn shook her head. The poor pregnant woman had just stated before Dereck took her home that she was worried about Orion loving the baby. "Never mind. It doesn't matter why you said it. But you do need to apologize for that. As profusely as you can. If she knows you, then she knows you were just stressed. But it might also mean you need to try to make things better. Put things aside with Orion for one."She didn't know what the two's beef was with each other. She didn't care at the moment. But Dereck trying to get along with, may show Grace he was serious in his apology; that he still loved her and wanted to be apart of her life. But then again how far had this gone? A whole 24 hours or more had passed. Had Grace asked Orion about her fears? Was Orion now mad at Dereck for his words to Grace? This may be tricky if that was the case.
As he began to eat, she thought about what he said about getting in contact with Irish and cutting them out as the middle man. She nodded her head in agreement. That may work; hopefully it would. When he spoke again, she looked at him. "It was nice of her ex to give you a head's up. Maybe we can get ahead of it then. Get you an alibi worked out." Lyn sighed, she'd contact Dylan the next day. She was almost positive that man knew more about that whole investigation. So she'd see what information she could get out of him; clear Dereck's and the Reaper's name on it.
Lyn smiled as he gobbled the food in front of him. Her hand gently rubbed his back. "You act as if you haven't eaten in days or someone's going to take it away. There's more, and I can make something else too if need be." She was glad he was talking to her about things that were bothering him."Thank-you by the way for trusting me with all this."

His smile widened as she took the jewelry box and stated that she enjoyed it. as she went back to her bedroom, he sat down on the couch next to the cat. His hand absently petting the creature.
He leaned back into her hands as she needed his shoulders 15 minutes later."I don't think you could get prettier." Jasp told her, grabbing one of her hands and bringing it to his lips. Then he stood from the couch. Walking around the furniture, Jasper put a hand to Cadie's low back and began leading her to the door. Then out to his truck where he opened the passenger do for her"Let's go then. Seafood is fine tonight, right? "

'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~ "Are you kidding? Seafood is ALWAYS okay!" Cadence was very big on Seafood. Fruit and Seafood were her two favorite food groups. She slipped into the truck, and immediately put on her seatbelt. The two chatted easily in the car as they drove toward the restaurant. She was already enjoying her time with Jasper. It was very comfortable and felt natural to her. She wasn't sure how he was feeling about the situation though. He looked just as collected and cool as ever to her. Once they were seated in the restaurant she heard her phone go off. She apologized and quickly pulled her phone from her bag to put it on silent. There was a text from Ben. She clicked on it and intended to delete it until she saw what the message said. 'Damn U look HOT 2nite! It's a shame, wasted on an Angel. He won't know what 2 do w/ U baby. Strapless, sexy N bold.'Cadence deleted the message and resisted the sudden urge to shudder. He was just being a creep now! Cadence grabbed her glass of water to take a sip, and that was when she noticed Ben sitting not that far away. he lifted his glass as if making a toast and then sipped his drink. Cadence returned her attention to Jasper. She would not let Ben get to her. Though she was annoyed that he was trying to hard to ruin her date. ~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.

"Good. I'm glad you still like seafood."Luckily that was one thing that hadn't changed in his time he had known her. The car ride was pleasant as was their conversation and beginning of dinner. All was going well, or so he thought. Her phone went off and when she checked it it seemed something changed. He looked over at her quizically, bringing his beer to his lips as he took a look around the restaurant following her gaze to some guy. Before putting the bottle down and covering her hand with one of his."You alright? Do you want dessert here, or would you rather go somewhere else?"

She chuckled. She crossed her legs and shifted in her seat slightly. She could feel her purse vibrate slightly. b*****d was texting her! "Hey, just to be completely honest. I did ask someone out before it looked like we were going to give us another go. I never actually dated him, or anyone for that matter. I did ask him out though. I just want to be upfront about that." She felt weird admitting to that on their date, but just in case word got out. She didn't want Jasper thinking she was playing him. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze. Ben glared from his table. ~Candie~ But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
