Papoa Lake

Dol thought about it, "Have you ever done a mom before? I haven't, but I have done a dad before. That was... pretty fun though they like to cuddle after and I am not about that life. So... you gonna try to get with her? Ugh please do... I wanna know how that ends." She smiled and went sit down where he was setting his supplies.

Lorelei cuddled with him and smirked, "Warmth~" She got as close as she could before looking up at him. "I like what you did. It felt... how do I put this?" She said and thought about it. "It made me feel like you owned me. Sounds weird I know... but it is like I was really yours and you didn't really want anyone else to have me. So you made sure I knew that. I know it sounds weird and I am explaining this all wrong. I just like it a lot." She said softly.

Loris looked hurt, "You stealing my... my baby girl? I knew this day was going to happen, but so fast." He joked and Cora looked between them. "I... I love you daddy. No worry." She said and smiled. Loris patted her arm softly and smiled. "I was joking. You can spend all the time you want with Eli as long as you come back and love on your old dad." He smiled before eating. They ate and chit chatted before Loris picked up the dishes. "You two spend some time together as I go clean up okay?" He kissed them both and disappeared.

Micah yawned a little and looked over at Dol. "Only a few times." He said about the whole doing a mom thing. "Single moms are angry screwers though. None of them wanted any cuddling or anything like that, which I was more than happy about." He said and finished putting up his art stuff. "I dont think I'll do anything with her, she seems like the type you have to date first." He said and sat down at his desk.

Adrian listened to what she was saying but he still didnt like the face that he could be that way with her. Made him feel completely out of control and he didnt like not being in control of himself. It scared him. "Well I mean, I really dont want anyone else to have you so, its not completely wrong." He said softly and nuzzled her.

Elise at happily while they all chit chatted and when Loris shoo'd them out of the kitchen she went in the living room with Cora and told her to stay and play for a minute while she went to go grab something. She went into her room and ug through a box of her old things and then came back out with something behind her back. "Alright Cora, close your eyes sweetie, I got a surprise for you." She said softly and once Cora did close her eyes she carefully put a tiara on her head and held up a little mirror in front of her. "Okay, open your eyes!" She said. "This was mine when I was teeny tiny, and now I'm passing it down to you to wear, since you're a princess too" She said with a big smile on her face.

Dol blinked, "Who haven't you done? Ahh one of those... Ahh well damn. That thing with the museum is this weekend. Maybe you can pick someone up there. There are usually hot people there. Not that I have crashed one or anything." She teased and scooted closer. "Imma take your energy now. I will end up buying everything." She smiled and slipped her hand under his shirt to take his energy. She took a vial and opened it before gently placing her fingertip at the top and letting the energy flow into it.

Lorelei nodded, "I know, but... I can tell you are uncomfortable with it." She said softly and cupped his face. "Stop being so afraid of these kind of things. I won't get hurt, if anything... it might be a little of a turn on. What is it that has you so scared though? Is it the fact that you may or may not hurt me? I want us to grow together in these things and I don't want to leave you behind." she said softly.

Cora played like she was suppose to and closed her eyes when she was told. She felt something on her head and opened her eyes when she was told to do so. Cora couldn't help but smile and she gently touched it. "It is pretty! You... you sure I can.. have it?" She whispered. Loris came in and hugged the wall. "My daughter really is a pretty princess!" He got on his knees and crawled up to her. "You are the cutest and prettiest little girl I have ever seen." He said and teared up.

Cora started to tear up too. "Don't cry daddy. Please don't cry."

Loris wiped his eyes and hugged her, "I am sorry. You are just so pretty. Now you don't cry because your daddy is a big baby. Ugh dry your eyes." He said and let her go. Cora rubbed her eyes and nodded. "Eli said I could have this, but... it is hers and I don't want to get in trouble."

Micah thought about it for a second. "Uhhh. Im not really surewho I havent done. Ive done a lot of people." He said and then shrugged and let her take his energy from him. He was honestly glad he didnt have to keep up his past lifestyle of having to run around screwing people all the time to get rid of it. It got tiring doing it all the time. "Youve been crashing art exhibits..? Cant really say im surprised about that."

Adrian shook his head. " I just dont like the lack of control I have when I get like that. I know my medication works and everything, and I wont actually try to hurt you, but it still scares me a little bit." He said softly. "I'll get used to it eventually if you like it that much." He said and kissed her forehead.

Elise smiled. Cora really was a beautiful little girl. She wanted to laugh at Loris crawling over and crying about his daughter, he was way too cute sometimes. Elise got down to Cora's level when she said she didnt want to get in trouble. "You wont get into trouble dear, I want you to have it. It looks very nice on you. Besides, I always wanted a little girl to give it to, and now that ive got you I finally have one to share it with." She said in a soft tone with a warm smile on her face.

Dol laughed, "I crash a lot of things. Even a wedding once. Screwed all of the bridesmaids, maid of honor, and groomsman. That was a wild night. Ugh I might find something to crash this weekend... besides your museum thing. I got you home boy." She said and shut the vial and opened a new one. She did this until all of her vials were full. She slid her hand out from under his shirt and smirked, "Like milking a cow."

Lorelei frowned, "But you don't like it." She said softly. "And I am not going to force you to do something you don't like." She patted his hand and got up. "I have some studying to do since Ofelia is so close to her due date. You get some sleep." Lorelei said softly and smiled. She wasn't tired anymore and was wide awake. Grabbing her journal and book she lit the fire and began taking notes.

Cora looked down and nodded, "Okay." She looked up and smiled. "I will take good care of it. Yeah... good care. So daddy can't wear it cus his head is too big." She said and Loris died a bit on the inside. "Good girl, taking care of things is called being responsible. You are so smart." He smiled and she looked over at him. "The twins aren't so smart. They can't say their ABC's." She said.

Loris tried hard not to laugh. "Hun, they are way too young to know them right now. They can't even talk yet." He said and she looked so scared. "Who took their voices?" She asked. Loris hung his head and laughed. He couldn't handle it. "Babe... no one. When you are that small you don't know how to say words. They will be able to when they are old. Then you can teach them everything you know."

Cora looked at Elise. "I don't think daddy knows who took their voice."

Micah blinked and narrowed his eyes at Dol. "Hey now. I know im not the most muscular man...But im not a cow." He said and leaned back."Such a mean, mean girl Dol. Im taking away your bed priviliges. You arent allowed to sleep in my bed anymore." He said and waved his finger at her. "Not until you learn to be nicer to people." He said in a very matter of fact tone. "And to think I let you borrow from my closet of kinky things."

Adrian nodded and walked over to Lorelei and kissed her forehead. "I love you okay? Dont stay up too late dear." He said softly and then gave her a quick kiss goodnight and wandered back to the bedroom since he knew he'd be dead in the morning if he stayed up. He snuggled up to Lorelei's pillow and fell asleep.

Elise giggled a little bit. "He's telling the truth dear. Babies dont start trying to talk until theyre around a year old. They wont know how to talk for a while longer." She said softly. " Theyll learn though and then theyll learn how to say their ABC's just like you learned to when you were younger." She said and smiled.

Dol hid under the scarf, before sliding her hand under his shirt and rubbed his belly. "So... when are you due?" She smirked and slid her hand out before crawling away and into his room. Dol climbed into his bed and hid under the covers. "Viva la Micah's Bed." She said and turned his pillow around.

Cora blinked at Elise. "Oh... so that is why they can't ever talk to me back. Ivie said it was nice that they had company." She said softly and then looked up at Elise and her daddy scared, "I hope they don't get spanked when they get it wrong. I wanna teach them. Can you tell their mommy and daddy that I will teach them, please?" She nearly begged. Loris looked up at Elise and pulled Cora in close. "I don't think their mommy and daddy would do what happened to you. Okay, baby girl?" He didn't know how to tell her that not all kids get abused and he tried to figure the words to tell her to make sure she wasn't confused.

Micah sighed at her and just went and picked her up and carried her out of the bedroom and away from his bed. "Uh-uh. I told you no more bed time for you." He said and put her down in the living room. "Since you wanna be such a meanie poo. You dont get to cuddle with my bed anymore." He said and crossed his arms. "You're grounded missy!" He said in his best dad voice and then nearly cracked up. "No, but seriously, no bed for you."

Elise blinked. "I dont think theyll get spanked either sweetie." She said and then walked to the other room and got ice cream for all of them before coming back and handing Cora and Loris a bowl. "So, you two up for a sleepover? Since daddy and I dont have to work tomorrow it might be fun if you guys wanna hang out for the night." She said and looked over at Loris. " Ive got hot chocolate and stuffed animallssss" She teased.

Roshia rolled her eyes when she walked away. "I have killed bigger beasts, but doesn't mean I would have gone and put myself into that situation. There is a difference from knowing you can and not being selfish. You can go home. I will go get my babies." She said and walked off without him. Roshia was pissed that she would be so damn stupid and careless about it. She didn't even consider how others felt it was all about her and her fucking pride. She didn't know why Nasir had to marry her of all people. "Well if she is so fucking strong than she can fucking give birth by herself." She said and knocked on Ivie's door. Ivie told her about Cora trying to teach the girls their ABC's and Roshia didn't seem so angry anymore.

Dol pouted, "Why you gotta be such a butthurt hipster? Now who is being mean?" She asked before poking his knee with her foot softly. "Fine... no bed. I will just never sleep and then when I get sick Lor is going to get super mad and then she will do something to get Adrian super worried and come deal you with. If I die I am taking this scarf with me." She said. "It is so damn soft. Ugh whose magic fingers made this? Like... I was just messing around with your scarfs and then BAM putt his one on and it is like... your bed man. I was insta in love." She sighed happily.

Cora rubbed her hands nervously thinking about the girls. So far what they have said was true so she believed them for now and smiled a bit when she came back with ice cream. "Can we stay for a sleep over? Pleasssseeee?" Cora begged. Loris was going to say yes anyway since she had opened up so much to them tonight and even begged for something without being scared or crying. "Of course! But daddy is going to have to leave after the ice cream so that he can get some clothes. Cora... you have a special job." Cora's eyes got big as she age ice cream. "You have to watch Eli for me while I am gone. You think you can do that?" He asked. Cora laughed and nodded her head. "I can do that!" She said.

"Good." He chuckled and ate his ice cream before looking over at Elise and winked. "See... I got you a great babysitter."

Micah smirked. "If you do such things i'll just disappear into the wind, with my bed, before Adrian can come find me." He said and shrugged a little bit. "He wouldnt leave Lorelei to come hunt me down anyways, not the most reliable hit man." He joked and shook his head. "Yeah its a good scarf, ive got like three of the same one. Thats not even the softest one though, but im not letting you get a hold of that one. I need it in the winter." He said and went to the kitchen to make some coffee.

Elise smirked and looked over at Loris. "Oh..But then who will babysit you?" She said, pretending to look completely shocked. "Will you even make it home without Cora's protection and guidance? We cant be losing you, ya know." She teased and looked up at him. "Just kidding, daddy will be fine to go home by himself for a moment." She said just in case Cora actually got worried about it. "And then I will paint your cute little toes while he's gone, I have lots of colors!" She said happily.

Blair got off work, and like promised went to the greek diner and picked up food on his way back to Ivie's. When he got there she was talking to the twins mom and they looked like they were having fun. "Taking my babies back are you? So awful." He joked when he got up to them.

Dol shook her head. Adrian wouldn't leave her to find him. He would just kill himself with worry, but she wasn't about to tell him that. He didn't care when he left for that week and never told anyone. She got up and followed him to the kitchen, playing with the scarf, and nearly ran smack into him before twirling away. "It does get really cold up here. You gonna need like three. Aww it is gonna be so cute, only seeing your eyes." She laughed while looking out of the window. The old man wasn't there and part of her was sad.

Loris laughed and shook his head, "Haha." He smiled and went clean his dish before heading out. "If I don't return in like three hours, call my mom." He smiled and blew them a kiss before disappearing. Cora waved and looked up at Elise, "Do you have yellow? My toes will look like baby chickens!" She giggled.

Roshia looked at the man that came in and nearly died. She looked him up and down and then looked at Ivie. "You got a nice one. And they could have been your babies over a year a go if you were the one I slept with that night." She winked before looking over and Ivie. "Ugh and to think my anniversary is tomorrow and I am annoyed with the woman taking care of my kids tomorrow. Oh the girls won't be here tomorrow. Rowan apparently has something plan. Ugghh let me go. I feel like he is going to give me a damn lecture on why I left him to get the kids by myself." She said and left the two after thanking Ivie.

Ivie looked at Blair, "You came just in time." She smiled and Forrest was on the floor with Dawn. Ivie had talked to Atlas earlier. It was a friendly talk. Apparently Elwin was going to be away for a bit longer and she could tell that he wasn't all to happy. Poppy was doing well and that she was getting big. She threatened if they didn't bring her around she would take her baby back and then told him bye.

Forrest came running over, "Hi Blair!" He smiled up at him. "Food?" He asked and poked the bag.

Roshia came home with the twins and set them up to eat. "Rowan we are home." She said and cooed at her girls. They laughed and banged on their ready. "Aww are you two hungry? Yeah? Daddy taking forever? Yeah?" She smiled.

Micah nodded. "I know. Used to live here remember?" He said as he watched the coffee start to brew. "I will be so bundled up you'll barely see my eyes at all. Being cold is almost the worst thing ever." He said and turned around and looked outside. "Im just glad its warm right now and i dont have to wear a sweater all the time. It gets hotter here in the summer than I remembered."

Elise looked down at Cora and smiled big. "I do, but even better, I can put little baby chicken faces on your big toes!" She said and left to go get her nail polish. When she came back she had Cora sit on the couch, and she sat onthe floor, paining Cora's toenails a soft yellow color before adding little eyes and a beak on her big toes, and then putting on a shiny top coat. "There you go! All done." She said and stood back up. "You gotta hold still and dont touch them for a couple minutes while they dry." She said and handed Cora a picture book to keep her occupied.

Blair blinked at the lady when she said those could have been his babies if they had slept together a year ago. He watched her leave and looked at Ivie like he was confused for a second before turning his attention to Forrest. "Even better Forrest....Greek food!" He said and madehis way to the table with it, kissing Ivie on the way and then setting everything out.

Rowan just went home and was getting mashed food ready for the girls since it was about time for them to want to eat. He had just finished when Roshia came in. "Dad already has your food ready!" He said and then sat in front of the girls and started feeding them, using both hands so they couldnt get mad at him for feeding one a spoonful before the other..

Dol blinked, "Oh right..." She said and listened to him talking. She was getting hot an decided to turn the scarf into a headband opened the window. Dol sat on the window seal and looked over at him. "Ahh you can kind of see the tree from over here. I wonder what would happen if that tree got caught on fire. Not that I would want it to be." She said and let one of her legs hang out the window. She saw a man in the window of the building on the side and smiled. He waved and she waved back before turning and mouthing husband. The guy's eyes got wide and walked away. She wasn't in the mood for the do.


Loris got them clothes and was walking out when he was stopped by a familiar pink hair lady. "Hey, Loris." She said softly. Loris took a second to let what was happening sink in before moving passed her. "Go away, Abigail. You aren't getting Cora back. I rather see you dead." He said. Abigail teared up, "I get that you hate me. And you have every right to, but let me explain. He said he wanted her. He said I shouldn't go back to you when I found out like I wanted to do. I had no idea he would abuse her and I was scared of leaving because he tried killing her once already." Loris fist curled up and he turned around. "So you fucking let her endure it instead of getting her out. You waited for four fucking years?!" He yelled. She winched and looked like Cora. It was clear she was being abused too.

He backed up and shook his head, "I have moved on and want nothing to do with you. I will fight you on you getting no custody of her. You should have done more to get her out of there. Now get out of here before you make more trouble for her." He said and began to walk away. She hurried and grabbed his hand. "Please, let's just give us one more shot, with Cora. That other woman doesn't know how to love you like I do." She said and started to put his hand up her shirt. Her hand working up his. Loris shoved her away, "Get the hell off." He growled.

She sighed, "When are you going to realize she is a horrible woman. I have been watching, Loris. She is all for that tall hot cop. I have seen the way she looks up at him. Like you used to look at me. I made a mistake, Loris. One I will always regret." She said softly. "When are you going to realize she doesn't want you?"

Loris rubbed the back of his neck, "I don't love you anymore. She doesn't love him anymore. Stay out of our lives or I will pull some strings, Abigail. And we both know what happens when I do." He said, his eyes going dark. Abigail blinked and took a step back. "I thought you were done with that." She said.

Loris shook his head and walked off, "Does she know you are back in that business?!" She yelled out after him as she walked by. Loris was glad there was a bit of a walk back. He needed to calm down. When he got back Cora was laying down with a picture book up above her. He smiled and went put the bag in her room and dragged Elise out into her bedroom and kissed her like he was hungry for her.


Roshia couldn't help but swoon. "Who know I would say that this is so much hotter than that cop Ivie is dating? But this... when did this become a turn on?" She shook her head and went make her and her husband dinner. She peeked out and watched him feed the babies, then hurried and brought him the bottles for the girls. Bo and Arrow giggled as they got fed but then Bo sneezed, sending mashed food flying and Arrow couldn't stop laughing. "Uh oh." She cooed and went get something and came back to clean Bo's face and then her husband's face.

Micah blinked. "Well Id assume that the whole city would burst into flames. There are building close to, or under the branches of the tree, theyd likely catch on fire, and it would spread pretty fast I would assume." He said and then shrugged and made his coffee. He looked over to see Dol waving at some man then mouth something which seemed to make the man get wide eyed and walk off. "Oh lord, what did you just say to that poor man, he looked shaken up by it." He said with a chuckle.

Elise was putting the nail polish away when Loris came in and dragged her off to her bedroom. "Hey what-" She started to question him but he kissed her in a way that he never had before. Elise wanted to melt into him, and she did at first but then pulled away. "Well Im not going to complain, but that was certainly a surprise." She said softly and looked up at him. "Does wearing my panties turn you on that much?" She teased a little.

Rowan watched Roshia swoon and shook his head at her and kept feeding the babies. Bo sneezed and sent food flying everywhere and he just blinked at her. "Lord Bo, bless you child." He said as Roshia cleaned off her face and then his. "These kids are something else Ros, Bo had sonic sneezes." He joked and then poked Bo's nose.

Dol looked over at him and smirked, "I said you were my husband. Didn't feel like giving him anything or you know... talking to him." She said and looked back out. "Yeah.. I guess most of the people on this island would die. That would kind of be messed up. Hope that tree doesn't get lit anytime soon. Or ever, I guess." Dol let her leg swing and the breeze run up her leg. It was a bit hot today. She wore almost the bare minimum and would walk around naked if she could. "So... what other part of your body don't you like getting touched. So I don't touch them like I did your ribs. She said and looked down, wondering if she jumped she would make it to the staircase.

Loris laughed softly, "Yes, myself in your undies turn you on. Or more like I just crave you so much." He said softly. Loris didn't know if he should tell her that Abigail was at him house waiting for him. That she wanted to be a family again. He had threatened Abigail, but he wasn't back in the business. "I just wanted to let you know that I am not back into that scene with me being a hitman or the drugs. And Abigail is back... she is going to try and get between us, but know that I don't want her. I don't love her. And my heart belongs to someone else. If she comes here, please let me know and I will deal with her." He said softly and looked out of the room towards Cora. She was entrapped into her book. He went back to Elise, "She has been watching us. She knows about the Blair thing and she is going to try and used that against me. And she is going to do whatever she can do what she can to get to you... I didn't think she would be this kind of person... and apparently she was being abused too. When I raised my voice and stepped towards her she flinched." He said, it was clear it was killing him that she would think he would beat her,

Roshia smiled, "Tell daddy I just had a big sneeze. I went choo." She said and Bo giggle snorted. Roshia couldn't help but laugh before kiss attacking Arrow's cheek. She scream laughed and clung to Roshia's hair. "And I am hooked." She laughed. When she rubbed her wrist she let go, but then started to cry. Roshia sighed and let her hold her hair while she ate.

Micah blinked. "Well I guess that would get you out of it. He's pretty skittish in general." He said and had walked back out or the room, not quite catching what she said, or rather ignoring it. He didnt need her asking questions about why he didnt like being touched in certain places if he told her. So he just pretended not to hear her. He rolled up the sleeves on his long sleeved shirt and stared at his living room, thinking about if he wanted to move the furniture or not.

Elise didnt want to believe what he was saying, not one bit. She had hoped that Abigail never came back. She sighed a heavy sigh. "I knew it Loris, you fell for Adrian didnt you?" She joked, mostly because she didnt know what to say to him. "If she comes here im beating her with a pair of stiletto heels for trespassing." She said, a slight tone of annoyance to her voice. "Dont worry, theres nothing she could say or do that would convince me to go away. And If it gets bad, well its a good thing the law is on our side, and he doesnt take harassment lightly." She said and patted his arm. "You tell him too if she really doesnt leave you alone, i know you can take care of yourself, Loris, but you dont need the extra stress...You wanna stay here till Blair gets a break in Cora's case? She cant corner you there again if you arent there...Or you know, you could ust move in, I wouldnt mind even a little bit.." She said, and looked back up at him. She hoped it would show Abigail that she wasnt going anywhere too.

Rowan laughed a little bit. "Oh no look at that, you're so stuck." He said and stuck his tongue out at Roshia before finishing up feeding the baby their puree'd food. "Annnnd we're all done with that. Bottle time?" He asked Roshia since she had been making bottles earlier.

Dol shrugged and got up and walked out of the kitchen. She walked towards the door, "Fine, ignore the question of me trying to be nice and NOT touch a damn spot on your body you look like you will cry if someone touches you there. But if I touched some spot you don't like. It won't be my problem." She said and walked out, scarf on head. She had had enough of his bullshit. She was just trying to figure out where not to touch him and he was pulling this shit. When she got home she threw the scarf on a chair and went to the herbs that were drying. It was dry enough and put them in a jar before packing a small bag. Then she went to Lorelei's and peeked in. She was studying by the fire. "Hey I am heading out. Will see you in a few days. Love you. Be safe." She blew Lorelei a kiss and closed the door before heading into the city to get a ride down to the kingdom.

Loris smiled, "Sure, we can stay a few nights, but I can't have her running us out of my... did you just invite me to move in with you?" He asked and blinked a bit. He shook his head, "Nah you were joking... but you are the kind of lady to literally strip in front of a man and not blush. Plus you have a very nice body. Remind me to get your workout notes." He smiled. Then he kissed her again, "I might have threatened to take care of her... so... ahhhhaaa yeah I am fucked if she tells Blair or anyone something." He sighed. "She looked scared to. I wasn't... I am not really going to kill Abigail." He said.

"Haha and yes." She gave him a bottled and sat on his lap before feeding Arrow. "Who knew boobie milk could be so good." She cooed and both girls laughed at her. "Ugh they are too cute. Who told us having cute kids would be okay? They lied. My heart hurts." She said. "Jane better not hurt my babies." She said and wiggled on Rowan.

Elise blinked. "I'm not joking, I really did invite you to." She said and walked past him. "I dont work out, this is just how I look. I do yoga and flexibility training too though." She said and checked on Cora before locking the doors and windows then coming back and sitting down on the bed. "Well she can tell Blair all she wants, She can tell someone else too, but if Blair hears about it well..Lets just say him and the chief of Police like to get drinks together. Besides, theres an open child abuse case against her, it will just look like shes trying to make you look bad." She said and sighed a little. " Hmm...I guess I cant hit her with a shoe if she comes here huh...that would look bad..." She said and fell over onto her bed.

Rowan fed Bo and then looked at Roshia when she started wiggling. "If you keep that up, im putting the girls to bed early." He said and winked at her before going back to focusing on Bo. "I mean, no one told us they would be THIS cute, but what can we expect? They came from you after all. They were bound to be super adorable."

Loris watched her and then watched her fall over onto her bed. He smirked and climbed on top of her. "Well, I will think about it. It is a big move... especially with Cora." He said and kissed down her neck. His hand traveled down her side, tugging at her leggings. "But I wouldn't mind, who wouldn't want to wake up to your gorgeous face in the morning every day, but the price to pay would my daughter loving you more than me." He smiled against her necked before kissing and gently biting it. The other hand traveled up her shirt and was about to go further when Cora came in. "Are you doing the big S, daddy? Momma does it a lot with Craig." She said. Loris almost died. How would his four year old daughter know about that at so young? He slid off of Elise an picked her up. "No, I was just about to tickle her. And you never do the Big S. Ever. Not until you are at least twenty-five." He said.

"But the Big S looks fun, daddy." She said and pouted. He looked lost and held her out for Elise. "You... uhm... go shower with her? It is bath time." He smiled while dying.

Roshia wiggled a bit more and smiled. "Ugh they are mini yous. I hope I have one kid that looks like me. Just one kid. It is all I ask for. "If it comes out looking like you again... imma cry, I will love it like I love these two, but I will cry." She smiled and got up. She went get their food and cleaned up the babies before putting them down for tummy time. When she came back she kissed his cheek. "I love you." She whispered.

Ivie smiled as Forrest ran after Blair. It was too cute. She walked after them and put Forrest in his seat before getting drinks. "Forrest what do you say?" She asked. Forrest looked up, "Food, please." He smiled and Ivie hung her head. She pressed her lips together so she wouldn't laugh. "No, baby. What do you say when someone does something nice for you?" She asked and put his sippy cup down. He looked at Blair, "Thank you." He said and Ivie put the drinks down for both of them. When the food was passed around she sat down. "Thank you, babe. How was work?" She asked.

Elise was thoroughly enjoying everything that was going on, until Cora came in and told them she had apparently caught her mom and craig doing it more than once. Elise giggled and sat up. "Your dad really is an evil tickle monster. So glad you came in to save me! My hero!" She said and took Cora from him. "Lets go get you a bath little lady." She said and whisked her off to the tub. She got her in and all squeaky clean and then dried her off and put her in her jammies. Elise put her hair in little braids so it would be wavy in the morning and took her to the guest room and sat her on the bed. She surrounded her with stuffed animals and turned on the night light in the room. "Okay okay, So, which story do you want me to read? I have I love you to the moon and back, the very hungry caterpillar, and the rainbow fish. Or I can sing you a lullaby." She said and crawled in next to Cora.

Rowan huffed when Roshia wiggled and then watched her get up and leave. "Well Im sure one of them is going to have to look like you dear." He said as she walked away with the kids. When she came back and kissed his cheek he pulled her back into his lap and nuzzled her neck. "I love you too...And now you're trapped, muahaha." He said.

Blair had a hard time not laughing when Ivie did. Forrest was way too adorable. He looked over at Forrest and smiled when he got it right that he was supposed to say thank you. "You're very welcome." Blair said in return. He looked over at Ivie when she asked how work was. "Ah it was pretty easy Elise left early today for whatever reason so there wasnt a whole lot to do, you'd think that girl runs the whole coroners office with as much as she does." He said and took a bite of his food, chewed and swallowed. "But I just spent the day working on Cora's case, so it wasnt too bad, got a background on Cora's moms husband, so thats a win for us, for now." He said softly.

Loris shook his head and waited for them to get out of the shower before going shower himself. He thought about the offer she put up on the table and then the neighborhood they were in. It was nice and kid friendly, though not so much since Elise was opening doors in pretty much nothing but her bra and undies. Then he thought about sleeping to her every night before October was going to kill him. If his daughter wasn't there. He sighed and finished before getting out and wrapping a towel around his waist and went into her room.

Cora smiled, "Sing please."


Roshia giggled, "Oh I am, am I?" She wiggled and took a bite from his plate. She chewed and swallowed. "Well since I am trapped then I am going to eat your food." She smiled and wiggled a bit more. "Mmm I cook so well. It is so yummy and you are stuck behind me. Poor, Row." She teased.


Ivie and Forrest ate as he talked and she frowned a bit about Cora's case. She wished those people would just get arrested and sent to prison already, but she knew he was doing his best and she was happy about that. "Well it is something and something is better than nothing. She ate and then ended up giving Forrest more because he had finished before anyone. "He eats so much now." She said. Forrest looked up with his cheeks stuffed and smiled. Ivie shook her head and laughed. "And a silly boy." She said, kissing his head softly. When Forrest swallowed, "You can rest daddy, Blair. He threw my muffin!" Forrest said angrily. Ivie looked at Blair like he got that one.

Elise nodded and thought for a moment before starting to sing

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

She sang softly and in a soothing tone and repeated the lyrics until Cora was fast asleep. She kissed her forehead and made sure she was nice and tucked in then retreated back to the bedroom. "Well, turns out singing to the girl knocks her out pretty good." She said and crawled onto her bed.

Rowan pouted and sighed and then let Roshia go before stealing his plate back. "Hey now...Im going to get you later missy. You just be ready." He said an took a bite of his food. "You only got away because you cook some delicious food and im not about to miss out on it completely." He said stubbornly.

Blair looked at Forrest with a surprised look on his face. "Oh well I wish I could Forrest. How dare he throw your muffin...But unfortunately thats not illegal, though it should be...So i cant actually arrest him this time." He said and then reached into his pocket and pulled out a junior detectives badge. "So you just show him this when you go back and he'll have to listen to you since you're the law." He said with a little bit of a chuckle.

Loris watched her come in and crawled into bed. "Remind me to do that when I put her to bed. I was thinking and if you meant us moving in with you... then I would like to move in with you. You do so well with Cora and this neighborhood is a lot better than the one I was in." He smiled and let his towel drop before getting in bed with her. "Ahhh feels so free with no undies." He said.

Roshia smiled with one cheek full. She went to her plate and ate. They talked about small chit chat and when they were done she went washed them. Once she was done she walked in and sat with the babies and played with them. "Daddy is gonna kidnap me tomorrow. I am scared." She teased and Bo looked at her father like he was crazy. Arrow wiggled and reached for her momma. Roshia picked her up and snuggled her. "You gonna protect momma, Arrow?" She asked and snuggled. Bo started to cry and she picked her up. "Aww you can save momma too, Bo."

Forrest sighed but lit up when he saw the badge. "Thank you!" He smiled and Ivie gave Blair an amused look. She wanted to see how that would end. When they were done she let Dawn out in the back yard and Forrest ran to the closed door. "Nooo!" He cried out and watched Dawn do her thing. Ivie shook her head and gathered the dishes and went wash them. "No idea where he gets the being dramatic thing from." She said. Forrest slid down the door and looked broken.

Elise smiled and nodded. "I was serious." She said and then blinked at Loris when he dropped his towel and got into bed with her. She crawled back out of the bed. "I'll uhh. be right back." She said and walked out to the kitchen and stood in front of the fridge with the door open, like it would somehow cool her down. "It will be fine Elise, just dont look at him...Just dont let your eyes wander...and then maybe your hands wont too. It will be fiiiiineee..." She whispered to herself. She came back a few moments later and crawled into bed. "Oookay, well goodnight Loris!" She said and snuggled into the blankets.

Rowan went to his office when Roshia did dishes to make sure he had all his work caught up. He peeked out to see Roshia talking about the babies saving her from their date in the morning. "Oh no, the girls wont be able to save you...You'll like it promise Ros, ive been planning it for a while now." He said softly and looked at her lovingly. He couldnt wait to have the day alone with her.

Blair laighed a little bit. "I dont know Ivie, maybe from both of you? I dont really know Atlas but you can be pretty dramatic when you want to, though typically only when you're joking. So maybe Atlas can be a drama king some times and thats where he gets it?" He asked and shook his head at Forrest sliding down the door. "She'll come back buddy, and then im sure she'll come and play with you." he said and chuckled as he watched Dawn chase her own tail.

Loris watched her get out and blinked before smirking evilly. He laid there and waited for her to come back before turning to her and letting his hand travel down to her hips before pulling her into him. "Why are you so far away from me? I took a shower and I don't stink... I literally smell like you since I forgot my soap and shampoo at home." He said and kissed her neck softly. "You are so soft babe." He whispered against her neck.

The babies looked at him like he was crazy, but she nodded. "I am sure I will. Last date we had was very nice." She said and stood up with the babes before rocking them to sleep and putting them in bed. She found Rowan and kissed his cheek. "I am going to shower real quick. Meet me in the bedroom and we can fall asleep. How exciting." She teased before walking away and taking a shower. When she was done she got dressed and wiggled into bed.

Ivie shook her head. "How dare you call me dramatic?" She said dramatically and huff before flipping her hair. "So rude, Officer Bubble Butt." She said and finished the dishes. She pulled him into the living room and pulled him down to sneak a kiss from him. "I had to steal a really good kiss. Mmm now come here." She said softly and kissed him again until she heard the door open and Forrest screaming in excitement as Dawn ran into him. "Well... we don't have to let her in anymore." She smiled.
