Wow, sounds really interesting. You watched a play and I didn't even have to watch the rugby between SA and Wales to know the score, I could hear the reaction over my guitar from upstairs xD It was pretty funny, though, since my grandpa is Welsh, but my dad and his brother were born in SA. :3

Oh, man, but it's so hard to concentrate with a hot guy onstage. I think it's just just as well Adam wasn't Fiyero when I saw Wicked or I would have missed the entire thing xD But, still, yum <3

-Skip-

Angie pulled away from Mikey's lips for the last time, struggling completely for breath. She put a hand up to his cheek and just gazed up at him lovingly. The look in his eyes that hadn't left since things had started was one that would forever stay with her, and would never cease to send a shiver down her spine, her breath to catch, and give her butterflies; nobody else ever looked at her that way, and words couldn't describe the feelings behind it. It was very much the same when she looked at him, of course. But there was something about that time, in particular, perhaps because it was their first night on their honeymoon, that was particularly special. She couldn't even speak.

Brandon took his shirt off while she was busy stretching out. Having spent a lot of time in the garden and outdoors in general, and due to having somebody who liked to watch him work wile he had his shirt off, he wasn't really particularly pale at all, anymore. In fact, one could say that Brandon had a perfectly healthy tan, which he liked a lot, in all actuality. He put his shirt aside and kicked off his flip flops and stretched out next to her, looking completely at ease and content. "Everything is perfect right now," he agreed.

Evander followed her down to the kitchen and sat at the table. He nodded and said, "It's good for them. I mean, of course they love Cosette, and she's important to them, but they're both still young-- to a point, of course--, every once in a while, they need their space. You know, I really think that's the problem with a lot of families. Couples seem to forget about each other until there's just no fire left. Those two have got the right idea."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

xD That's hysterical! That kind of stuff happens during football season and basketball season here.

He was dressed in leather pants, and a fishnet shirt covered by a vest-- oh my gosh, he was fiiiiiine hahaha

I swear, if ever it became a big show, Adam Lambert would be PERFECT for Dionysis. He could pull of the singing AND they style aspect of it.

Mikey ran his fingers through Angie's hair, his look becoming more tender and gentle, almost thoughtful. But the only thing he was thinking about was Angie. She consumed his thoughts and dreams, she had become the center of his universe. And when she looked at him the way she did then, he felt whole and complete. Tenderly, he kissed her forehead, and then her jawline, trying to regain control of himself. "I love you," he whispered in her ear, gently taking her hand in his and pressing it to his heart. "Always."

Sadie reached over and held his hand, smirking when Brandon removed his shirt. "Hey there hottie," she said teasingly, rolling over and reaching up to touch his chest. "And you say I'm the sexy one-- I'm glad there aren't any other girls here, because they'd be trying to kidnap you!" She laughed, then gave him a kiss and laid back down. Resting her head on his chest, she softly said, "Thank you for staying with me through everything. I feel so lucky to have you here with me."

Prudence nodded and smiled up at Evander, adding, "Besides, I like spending time with the baby. She's so cute, and she's getting so big, so she's definitely becoming entertaining! Especially with her babbling and funny faces."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

You haven't seen anything until you see my dad and my uncle together. They just yell "Go, BOKKA!" at the top of their voices. It's even funnier when they play England. We end up shouting out the windows to all the neighbours and laughing because they usually always lose to us xD

Oh man! <3 I want to see this!

But, yeah, the guy who was Fiyero when I went to see him.. I don't know if you know him, his name's Lee Mead and he won the talent show we had over here to be Joseph on the West End. He's perfect for that role, but for Fiyero, he was just so wet and weedy, hardly the dashing hero I imagined he should be. I was crying out for Adam! xD

Angie managed a small, serene smile at last when she'd caught her breath enough. She felt his heart pulsing through his chest and then her hand, clear as day, and it was pounding just as much as hers was, she was sure of it. She shivered a bit as his breath tickled her ear, and she turned her face into his neck, giving him a few butterfly kisses. "I love you, too, and I'll never stop." She cuddled up to him as closely as she could, feeling his warmth-- in vampire terms, anyway-- and the safety of his arms around her. "God only knows what my life would be like without you."

Brandon chuckled a bit and said to her, "I think perhaps that having a baby with you is incredibly valuable in those circumstances. Yes, you become increasingly more attractive-- I don't really understand that, of course, but it is the case-- but girls know to stay away because Mom is just around the corner." He smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "You have nothing to thank me for. Staying with you is as easy as breathing, and something I'd never want to stop."

"Yes, I'm pretty sure everybody else likes the job of babysitting while they're out, too," Evander agreed with a chuckle, able to hear Blaise cooing while she played with Cosette in the next room.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Hahahahaha!! That's awesome! I'm not one who screams at sports, honestly.

I mean, Dionysis is cunning and cool and suave, very gorgeous, and funny in an off handed way.

I might have heard of Lee Mead, actually. (I am an avid Joseph fan)

Mikey let out a sigh of content, then rolled onto his back beside Angie, allowing his chest to heave up and down while he caught his breath. Their honeymoon had barely begun, and it already was going great. He looked over at Angie and said, "You know, I don't like imagining my life without you. It could have been okay, it could have been good, but... I don't know if it would have been as fulfilling as my life with you."

Sadie said, "Well, sometimes I think about what would have happened logically in that situation. You would have run off, and kicked me out of the house, so I would take care of the baby on my own. You'd pay some form of child support, and you wouldn't want to see me unless I got rid of the baby. Isn't our world a funny place, how that's the norm? It's sick. But that makes me glad you're far from normal."

Prudence ginned and said, "Everyone loves that little girl-- even Kyle, and that's saying a lot. I swear, kids make people turn into complete goons sometimes! It's hilarious!"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Me neither, I don't understand it.

Sounds like Adam to me xD

I'm not such a fan of it, actually. I don't really know why, I think it's more the thought of seeing Donny Osmond singing it one more time that just.. Ugh. I've seen the movie too many times against my will.

But, yeah, he's perfect for Joseph, but then Joseph and Fieyro are totally different.

Angie shifted over and rested her head on his chest, closing her eyes for a little while, sighing with content. "I'm just glad that I don't have to anymore. And that instead I can spend my time planning an eternity with you," she said softly, smiling.

"Do you really think after I'd willingly taken a child left on my doorstep and raised her myself, entirely voluntarily that I would even consider wanting to be rid of you after you got pregnant with my own child? I know it was still relatively early days for us, not even a year into our relationship. But I knew what I wanted, and that was you. I would be a real father to my own baby, with a woman I was truly in love with, something I never thought I could have. I was more worried that you wouldn't like the thought of having a baby so young; I'd been living for so long, I was ready, but you had your whole life ahead of you."

"I know. I think she's brought out the best in him, I can't quite believe it," Evander chuckled. "And it's the only time I think anybody is truly willing to be totally stupid in front of everybody else, just to please her."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

That's who I thought of when first saw him. The costume, anyway.

... I. Love. Donny Osmond. As. Joseph. xD

Yeah, wayyyy different. Oh well, sometimes you're good, sometimes, not so much.

Mikey held her close to himself, giving a yawn. Yup, the jetlag was beginning to kick in, and after what had just happened, he was wiped out. "Angie... I'm going to take good care of you, I promise. Just, don't ever... leave... me..." His head fell to one side, and he fell asleep, snoring lightly like he had earlier. He hated the fact that he was so sleepy, but he couldn't help it. Time changes had never been nice to him.

Sadie rolled onto her side and propped her head up on her elbow, nodding slightly in agreement with what he said. "True, but add in all the drama that occurred because of my pregnancy. Any other guy would have been running for the hills. I swear Brandon, you're too good to be true. I'm half afraid that I'll wake up one morning and all of this will have been a dream!" She smiled and kissed him gently. "You're the best."

Prudence laughed, then poured the pair some coffee, sitting back down after putting milk and sugar in hers. "Well, I can't wait to start babysitting! It's nice to feel a bit mommy-ish sometimes. Sometimes being the key word. In all honesty, I've never really wanted kids of my own. I did when I was first changed, and I learned I couldn't have babies anymore. And then when my husband told me he wanted kids, it broke my heart. I had to tell him that, because of what I am, I was infertile. He wasn't thrilled, but he was understanding and kind."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

It's hard to really describe my dislike for that movie. It's for reasons you may never understand xD

Angie just smiled and cuddled up to him again, draping an arm over his middle. Even though he was asleep, she still whispered, "Never," to him, in reply to his words before he nodded off. She was tired, too. Soon enough she'd drifted off, too, into a deep and comfortable sleep.

"Well, I hope not because then it'll be a dream for me, too, and that would be horrible," Brandon said to her with a gentle smile. He kissed her back tenderly and told her, "You know I'd do anything to have you and Cosette for the rest of my life. No wolf or any other strange powerful force or being is ever going to change that."

Evander sat and drank his coffee just as it was, without adding anything. He said, "It is hard. I mean, Sadie and Brandon were lucky, but for people like Angie and Mikey.. Well, I imagine that until he'd fallen in love with her that he had the intention of having children with somebody. Unfortunately some people aren't willing to sacrifice that. But he was, for her, and I think that's wonderful." He paused before he said, "As for me, well, you know as well as I, that living in the time we did, people had babies much earlier because they lived much shorter than I. Catherine and I were no exception, we didn't become vampires until a few years later. We had a child, but she died a few months after she was born. It saddens me to think of her that way, but in some ways I'm glad she didn't live to see what her mother and I have become."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

xD No explanation would make sense to me, lol. But Donny Osmond had a nice body in that movie. Just sayin'!

Mikey woke up some time later, dazed and confused about where he was. Upon remembering, he smiled, then looked over at Angie and kissed her forehead, before going to the bathroom to take a shower. He moved silently, taking care not to wake Angie up, and made sure that he made no noise in the shower. It felt great to wash the sweat from his body and hair, and to just breathe.

Sadie grinned, then took off her sunglasses and opened up the picnic basket. "I'm starving!" She told him, setting out two plates, and then moving the food and lemonade so that they could each have their share of whatever they wanted. "I have to say, this is the best birthday I've had so far! Thanks for the picnic lunch, Brandon. This is definitely better than sitting around." She poured herself a glass of lemonade and took a few sips before getting the food she wanted.

Prudence smiled sadly at Evander and said, "'m sure she would have become a beautiful woman. And I think that you and Catherine would have made wonderful parents to her. I know my late husband would have been a wonderful father, and at that time, I know I would have been the best mother I could be. But times changed, and I accepted what I couldn't change. And now I have a family-- not a traditional one, yeah, but it's still awesome."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I honestly don't remember that far back xD

Angie stirred a little bit when he left, but not so much that she woke up. Soon she was back fast asleep again, and stayed that way for another ten minutes or so before she woke up again to the sound of the water running in the bathroom. Mikey was obviously taking a shower. She sat up in bed while she waited for him to finish, just relaxing and allowing herself time to fully wake up.

Brandon sat up to get some lemonade while Sadie got herself some food. When she was done, he took his pick and then, quite hungrily, which was surprising considering the breakfast they'd had. "You're welcome, I'm just glad you like it all." At that moment he was wondering if she'd noticed that he hadn't actually given her a physical gift to open as of yet. He did have something for her, though he felt guilty that she was yet to receive it, since some people liked to get their gifts when they woke up.

"I think we would have done okay. But I'm sure she'd be upset now, considering how in love we were and stayed for so long, to know that we're not even on speaking terms," Evander said. "But the family we all have now, it's an odd setup, but I love the way we live. I wouldn't change a thing about any of it right now."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

I saw it recently, so it makes sense that I'd know, hahaha

Eventually, Mikey came out of the shower, a towel around his waist, his hair shaggy and half dry. He smiled crookedly at Angie and said, "Hey there sleeping beauty. o you need to use the shower? Sorry if I took too long, I hope you're not annoyed or something." He sat down on the bed, then leaned down to Angie and gave her a kiss. "You look so pretty right now," he told her gently.

Sadie remarked, "You know, I'm kind of surprised that you haven't actually given me a boxed present or anything." She laughed and added, "I hadn't noticed until just now, honestly. I don't mind, really, though, just being with you is a great present in itself." She kissed his cheek, then started eating, also quite hungry.

Prudence finished her coffee, then went behind Evander and wrapped her arms around him. "And just to let you know," she told him, smirking. "I like our living arrangements quite a bit. It never gets lonely, and it never gets cold at night... or in the morning, either."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Ah, okay

Angie smiled at him and said, "I don't think that I could be annoyed with you for too long, even over something worth being annoyed about. And you being in the shower is not even one of them." She put a hand up to his cheek to return his kiss, and then giggled as she said, "You think that sweaty, sleepy and a little dishevelled makes me look pretty? Great."

Brandon felt even worse when she pointed it out to him, and he chuckled a bit, weakly. "There is something that I have for you, but I'm just not giving it to you yet. Pretty much tonight is when I give you everything. So don't worry, you will be getting something. There's no way I could pass up the opportunity."

Evander crossed his arms over hers and smiled, leaning into her just a little bit. "And there's nothing I would change about you and I, either, for all those reasons. Everything feels really perfect right now."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

I listened to the Kiss Me cover! It's really good!

Mikey furrowed his eyebrows and said, "I always think you're beautiful, Angie! Your eyes, your hair, your smile... everything about you, really." He smiled and gave Angie another kiss, then trailed his fingers on her thighs. "Even when you're sweaty and tired."

Sadie said, "You do know I don't care about the presents, right? I'd rather be with you and not get any at all. But I am very excited about tonight." She grinned at him and gave him a passionate kiss.

Prudence said, "Well, I wouldn't call it perfection; but we're definitely very very close." She giggled, then nibbled on his ear before going into the next room to see Cosette. "Hey there," Prudence cooed, tickling the girl's tummy."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Ah, thank you

Angie smiled at him and gladly returned his second kiss, running her hand through his hair a little bit. "Thank you," she told him afterwards, "It's good to know you appreciate me even when I'm looking my worst." She giggled a bit. Anybody else would wonder what Angie's 'worst' must really look like, because a lot of people would probably think her worst still as good as somebody else's best.

"I know. You tell me enough. But this is a special birthday for you, so I wanted to get you something regardless," Brandon replied. He kissed her back equally as passionately, putting his plate of food down on the blanket next to him so as not to spill it."

"Well, you know what I mean, anyway," Evander replied, finishing off his coffee. When she'd left, he just stopped for a moment, smiling to himself and just contemplating how great everything was at that moment in time. He then got up, packed their coffee cups away and then went into the living room.

Blaise smiled and handed Cosette over to Prudence, having had her fair share since Brandon and Sadie went out. Cosette just looked delighted at the thought of being the centre of attention for two more people, grinning and giggling as Prudence tickled her.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

No problem! =D

How was your day?

Mikey rolled his eyes and chuckled, deciding that arguing with Angie wouldn't get him very far. But he did comment, "Your worst is pretty hot-- just saying." He grinned, kissing her forehead, then went to get dressed, putting on a pair of jeans and a button down plaid shirt.

Sadie Kept kissing him for a while longer, then pulled back just to stare up at him, those beautiful eyes that she'd fallen in love with. After a few moments, she turned away and started eating again, a big smile on her face. "Brandon... I'm glad I have such a great kissing partner!" She laughed, scooping food into her mouth.

Prudence bounced Cosette up and down in her arms, singing soft songs to the baby, practically beaming. She loved spending time with Cosette, who she considered to be her niece.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Eh, not too bad. Realised how much I have to do since it's mock exam week next week, I also have a french real exam on friday, my art is closing in. Oh dear xD

But I am receiving an award for something at Speech Day, how exciting

How about you? :3

Angie just giggled a bit more, grateful for his love of her, and then got out of bed to take a shower, really feeling like she needed one after everything yesterday had thrown at them. She came out again feeling refreshed a clean, as you likely would and embarked on the tough decision of what she could possibly wear that day. She went on a pair of black jeans, a pair of boots over the top, a white shirt, with a black blazer over the top, and all the accessories she had that went with it all. Then she sorted out her hair. Since it was short it was already near drying. She just messed around with it a little so that it would dry in place, and then her makeup. Not too painful at all, as it seemed.

Brandon chuckled a bit and took another sip of his lemonade before resuming clearing his plate. "Well, you know I'm always glad to be of some assistance to you, love," he said with his signature crooked smile spreading across his face. "You're not too shabby either."

Evander sat on the arm of the couch while Prudence played with a very delighted Cosette, who was giggling and babbling and humming away with Prudence, obviously thoroughly enjoying himself. That baby really was something special.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

An award? That's sooo awesome!!!! =D Congrats!

I have to go D: I'll finish the post later.

Love you, talk to you soon!

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Thanks

Mmkay, I'm off t' bed anyways :3

I loveyou, too! <3

Hello! =D How are you doing today?

While Angie was in the shower, Mikey brushed his hair and ran his hand along his face, noting his stubble. Eh, he didn't mind that much, and maybe it looked good, he wasn't sure. He put on a couple spritzes of cologne, then put on his socks and shoes, humming tunelessly. When Angie came out, he watched as she got ready, and felt a little bit shabby compared to her. "Sometimes I really wonder why I deserve you," he said softly, smiling ever so slightly.

Sadie said, "Thanks Brandon, but I learned most of it from you. You're a pretty great teacher, I gotta say." She finished her food, then sat her plate aside, scooting close to Brandon, moving under his arm. "And I like it when you assist me. I like it a whole lot!"

Prudence cuddled Cosette close, humming softly in the baby's ear. She sat down on the couch next to Evander, then placed her in his arms. "It's time to see Uncle Vander now, yes it is!" Prudence cooed, laughing lightly as she did so.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Hey Uhm, not too bad. Started out feeling really rough, but better now :3

How about you?

Angie finished up and then turned to him. She said, "Really, don't argue with me about this one, you won't win. You deserve me because I think you're beautiful, inside and out, because you love me and you'd do anything for me. I know that much, and that is way more than enough for you to deserve somebody like me."

"Well, you know, I try," Brandon chuckled. "But I've learned a lot from you, too. Older doesn't always mean wiser." He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and held her close. "And, well, if there's any way in which I can possibly assist, you, I won't hesitate," he told her, planting a kiss on her forehead and then running his free hand back through his hair while he looked out to the sea for a moment.

Evander gladly took Cosette from Prudence, and held the little baby close. It was amazing how quickly the memories came back, of when he held his own child. It was nice to be able to do that again, to be silly and love somebody unconditionally and feel loved back even though they still really had no idea who you were. He lifted her up to stand on his thighs and she bounced in his arms a little bit, while Evander hummed. "Great dancing, Cosette," he chuckled, then scooped her up high in the air. That was usually Dad's job, she knew, but it was still one of her favourite things. She giggled furiously.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Actually, pretty much the same as you!

I'm a bit tired, hungry, but it'll get better, hopefully. I've planned things with my friends this week, which is good.

Mikey rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around Angie tightly. "Angie, when we walk on the street together, you're this goddess of perfection. And what do I look like? A beatnik!" He laughed, kissing her forehead quickly. "But I am very glad you love me, and that you're here with me, instead of some other guy." He ran his fingers through her hair, then went and grabbed his wallet. "Now, miss genius, where should we go to first?"

Sadie pursed her lips, her mind wandering to what would happen that night. She was indescribably excited, but she was also nervous beyond belief. And she wondered how Brandon was feeling about the whole situation as well. She looked up and kissed his neck gently, then stood up and ran towards the surf, throwing caution to the wind. She jumped into the water, gasping at how icy cold it was.

Prudence couldn't help feeling a bit guilty as she watched Evander with Cosette. She couldn't give him a child that she felt he wanted, and she knew that they couldn't have a family like Brandon and Sadie. She reached out to stroke the top of Cosette's head, running her finger's through the little one's hair.
