• As she suspected, his shift had been rough - with it being the last weekend of summer, everyone was out and about. Not to mention the weather had gone for crap and it seemed that everyone had forgotten how to drive in the rain - so the past few days had been spent mostly working a variety of car wrecks. Emotionally exhausted more than anything - he had managed to get off at his scheduled 4:30, but traffic out of the city had been unbelievable and he had offered to drive a co-worker to her place, and was now positive his car had been making some foreign ka-thunk the last ten miles... So, it was almost 6:30 by the time he pulled up and he virtually had to drag himself out of the driver's seat. He now had the hood popped and was bent over his engine, looking to see if he could find anything.. (NT) -- Kaleb, 19:14:02 09/06/04 Mon

• She was still curled up in the porch swing but she was fast asleep. She had to be coming down with something, it wasn't natural to be able to sleep this much. Her skin was cool to the touch in the evening weather and her eyes were closed, wearing flannel lounging pants that she had dug out - none of her clothes were fitting her right anymore, and a large tee shirt of his sporting bob marley or hendrix or someone on it, she hadn't really payed attention. (NT) -- Gabby, 19:16:54 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• With a grumble of frustration, he slammed the hood shut and then ducked back into his car to turn off the stereo - blasting KISS greatest hits - and pull his keys from the ignition, then grabbed his bag from the trunk and finally made his way down the path and then up the stairs, stopping when he saw her. Sighing quietly, he set his bag down by the door and then stepped over to her, brushing his fingers quietly through her hair. "Gabby..." (NT) -- Kaleb, 19:25:15 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She shifted a bit, her eyes fluttering open and focusing on him after a moment. Quietly, she murmured something in Spanish before she smiled at him sleepily, her eyes moving past him to the darkening sky. "I didn't think you'd be home tonight." She spoke softly, grogging with sleep though her hand reached up to trace delicately down his jaw. It was so good to see him, her present and her future, to put the past behind her once again. (NT) -- Gabby, 19:31:05 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "Didn't think I would either." His fingers linked into hers to pull her gently to her feet and then guided the still-sleepy woman inside, grabbing his bag on the way. Once in the door, his hands rubbed her arms lightly and his head dipped a touch - voice soft in the unlit and darkening, silent house. "You're freezing... Shouldn't fall asleep out there..." (NT) -- Kaleb, 19:34:37 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "I didn't mean to." She wrapped her arms around his neck, shivering gently as she moved closer to him. "Tired baby? I bet you had a long shift..." Her voice was still husky due to sleep, her small form pressed tight against his. There were so many thoughts and emotions going on this weekend that she just wanted to be with him and only him for a long time. (NT) -- Gabby, 19:39:05 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "Not physically so much.." He exhaled softly and wrapped his arms slowly but tightly around her waist as he edged her gently backwards towards the couch in the living room. "There are so many horrible people in this world." Most of the time he loved his job - the rewards could be greater than anything - but it was after weekends like this that he honestly could say he hated it. (NT) -- Kaleb, 19:42:59 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "Yeah...." She sat down, bringing her knee's to her chest before she got more comfortable and looked back to him again. "Lot of bad stuff going on?" She was one of the people who hated to watch the news cuz it got her so upset, especially in her condition now. A commerical could bring tears to her eyes, the news would cause a break down. (NT) -- Gabby, 19:49:49 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "Yeah..." He exhaled the word softly and shook his head slowly - sometimes it was so tempting to tell her some of the stories, to get some of the horrors off his chest, but then he couldn't bring himself to expose her to the harsh realities and swallowed the words. "How're you doing?" (NT) -- Kaleb, 19:55:08 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "You know if you ever want to talk, I can handle listening Kaleb." She spoke softly, before she shrugged. "It was a shitty couple of days." She pursed her lips a bit, not wanting to talk about it all right now. "Did you eat anything recently? I made lasagna earlier and put it in the freezer for when you came home, it can be warmed up in no time." She made no effort to move though, other then to pull the throw down over her legs. (NT) -- Gabby, 19:58:13 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• Lowering himself to the edge of the couch, his fingers brushed her hair absently and he shook his head slowly. "You don't need to hear about it, Gabriella." He meant that - not because he couldn't talk to her, just because he wouldn't wish some of the things he saw on anyone. "I grabbed some food on my way home, but I'll be hungry later... My car's making a funny noise." (NT) -- Kaleb, 20:02:59 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• Her brow furrowed gently, shifting to lean against him gently. "Yeah? Did you check it out?" She questioed, her head resting gently against his shoulders as she shifted a bit so she could still see and be covered with the blanket at the same time. She really hadn't been feeling good at all and definately thought she was coming down with something. (NT) -- Gabby, 20:09:05 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "Didn't see anything.. Hey, where're the babies?" His brows furrowed gently and he wrapped his arms tightly around her - drawing her into his lap before he carefully covered her up again. It was clear to him that she wasn't feeling 100% and he was more than worried, but was just working towards getting the details on why her weekend had been horrible and what was going on. (NT) -- Kaleb, 20:12:41 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "You have a couple of days off right? You could take it in..." She smiled softly, her head going onto his shoulder idely, sighing again. "With Sebastion...." She nuzzled him closer, yawning softly as her eyes slid shut for a long moment. (NT) -- Gabby, 20:16:29 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "Yeah... Come with me tomorrow..." His brows furrowed gently at that - he hadn't known anything about them going to stay with their dad, but he supposed he didn't always know everything. "Oh... That's good... Enjoying some quiet time? You don't look like you're feeling too hot." (NT) -- Kaleb, 20:20:15 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She shook her head. "I am not...I haven't felt bad for a couple of days..." She sighed softly, her eyes staring off at nothing in particular. "He stopped by two days ago...saturday night and we got into a big fight and he started talking about lawyers and stuff...." She shrugged lightly. "He wanted to take the kids for a week and its not like I can tell him no..." She sighed softly, running a hand over her face before she cuddled closer to him. (NT) -- Gabby, 20:25:02 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "What's he doing just stopping by?" He frowned absently - he was fine with the man spending time with his kids, in favor of it really, but he didn't like the idea of him coming around here and upsetting her. "I'll call your doctor in the morning.. We should get you in just to make sure all's well. You're due for another check-up soon anyway." (NT) -- Kaleb, 20:28:49 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She shrugged a little, letting out a soft breath her brow furrowed gently. "He said he was lonely...." She sighed softly, nodding a bit at his suggestion for the doctors appointment. "Ok...we can go tomorrow...maybe he'll give me something so I'll have some energy." She smiled lightly, though she just closed her eyes afterwards and let her head rest back on his shoulder. (NT) -- Gabby, 20:39:18 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "So he just stops by?" He questioned gently but his brows were furrowed - he didn't want to press her, but it bothered him that her ex-husband was stopping by unannounced when he wasn't around. "Yeah, we'll get you into the shop and my poor car into the doctors." He added gently, lovingly teasing. (NT) -- Kaleb, 20:46:21 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "Yeah...so he said he wanted the kids for a week and I guess when I hesitated he got upset and thats when he brought up the lawyers. Anyways, I went over to drop off the kids and we got into another big fight and it got really ugly with yelling and crying, and me getting sick...." She shook her head, her brow furrowed. "It wasn't fun, Kaleb..." (NT) -- Gabby, 20:56:14 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• He frowned deeply at that and shook his head slowly. "Gabby, he can't just do that - come over and say he wants the kids and expect you to hand them over. The inconsistency isn't fair to them either. And I don't want you having to deal with him when you're already not feeling well. Maybe it would be a better idea to talk to your lawyer - get set visitation times for him." (NT) -- Kaleb, 21:03:22 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She shrugged a bit, frowning. "I feel bad, like I am keeping his kids away from him because he really does love them...." She shrugged gently. "I just got all paranoid about him like, wanting to take them away from me and I freaked out..." She sighed, her fingers playing with his shirt. "It just got really, really ugly..." (NT) -- Gabby, 21:05:33 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "Of course he loves them, and he should, but it's not fair to you or them that he just comes by whenever he's feeling like it to take them." His arms tightening gently around her, a hand brushing slowly, soothingly up and down her arm. "I just hate the idea of you having to deal with that, Gabby, with me not around.." (NT) -- Kaleb, 21:09:43 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She sighed softly, closing her eyes for a moment. "He said he'd like to have them with him all the time..." She frowned softly, her brow furrowed. "I pictured so many scenario's in my mind and I just got really freaked out." She shrugged gently, her head nuzzling into his chest quietly. (NT) -- Gabby, 21:12:06 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• His fingers brushed gently through her hair as he sighed quietly - he didn't really know what to tell her. Of course Seb would want his kids around, but it really wasn't fair that he just decided from moment to moment when he wanted them. "This all needs to get sorted out, love, but why don't we worry about it later tomorrow? You look so tired.." (NT) -- Kaleb, 21:54:09 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She nodded a bit, sighing getly. "I am ok...though..really..." She smiled softly, bringing his chin down to gently gaze into his eyes. "I love you so much Kaleb, you know that don't you? Your everything to me." (NT) -- Gabby, 22:02:05 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• He dropped his forehead gently to hers and closed his eyes for a lingering moment, lips just ever-so-slightly touching hers until he leaned in for a so brief, but so sweet kiss and then murmured his quiet response. "Love you too, Gabriella. More than anything." (NT) -- Kaleb, 22:05:25 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She sighed softly, her hands moving to run through his hair, her eyes closed as she rested her forehead against his. "And I want to be with you, for a long, long time..." She swallowed heavily, overly emotional but since everything was going on with Sebastion she just really wanted him to understand how much she wanted to be with him and him alone. (NT) -- Gabby, 22:11:03 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• He had no idea about everything that had gone on and was going on with Seb, but his past insecurities always appreciated the reassurances, so he was anything but complaining. Nodding slowly, his lips brushed hers gently once again, voice soft and honest. "I want to marry you one day, Gabby, you know that right?" Of course he did, and it wasn't even so much that he 'wasn't ready', it just didn't seem right just yet - and sometimes he got the feeling that she was much less ready than him.. (NT) -- Kaleb, 22:19:51 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She hugged him tightly, tears threatening to spill over her lashes as she held herself close to him. "I hoped so..." She murmured, pressing her lips to his forehead, then his temple. "You made me love my life again, you make me so happy...." She swallowed softly, sniffling. "I'm sorry, I am so over emotional...." (NT) -- Gabby, 22:23:03 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• He just hugged her tightly and smiled softly, ducking his face into her neck to press a light kiss to her pulse before standing slowly - her still in his arms so he carried her upstairs and to their room so they could stretch out on their bed together. (NT) -- Kaleb, 22:27:32 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She sighed softly, stretching out as she cuddled against him, closing her eyes briefly. "I hope you don't hate me before this baby is born, I am so highstrung it's ridiculous..." She sighed, shaking her head with a frown. "I am a horrible pregnant woman." She shifted to look up at him. "And do you see how big I am? I should not be this big already, I think I am carrying eight babies this time." (NT) -- Gabby, 22:32:17 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "Hey, atleast you're not boring..." He pointed out lovingly and hugged her tightly to him, burrying his face in her neck and sighing in quiet contentment. "I think you look beautiful, and I'm pretty sure there's only one baby in there... Not eight..." (NT) -- Kaleb, 22:44:00 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She ran her hand lovingly over the back of his neck, kneading slightly as she held him close to her. "I am starting to not fit into the majority of my clothes, have to break out the maternity stuff soon." She smiled gently, gazing down at him lovingly. "The nursery is looking so good already though...." (NT) -- Gabby, 22:47:40 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "I'm off for three days... Tomorrow we'll go to the doctor's and then take my car in, then the day after that we should go shopping and I'll buy you some new clothes too.." Of course she had lots of maternity clothes from the past pregnancies, but he didn't doubt she would mind getting some new ones. (NT) -- Kaleb, 22:54:05 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She nodded a bit at that, sighing softly. "You take such good care of me, Kaleb." She murmured softly, her hand still running lovingly over his neck and back before she turned her head to press a soft kiss to his temple. "You won't see the kids again until next time your off." (NT) -- Gabby, 22:58:41 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "I know...." He frowned gently and sighed quietly - he had been thinking about that earlier, but didn't want to sound selfish so hadn't mentioned it. His arms tightened around her though and he pressed a kiss to her cheek sweetly. (NT) -- Kaleb, 23:07:31 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She sighed softly, smiling gently at him. "They love you so much..." She paused a moment. "Sebastion, he's really, really jealous over you...with the kids you know? I tried to explain to him that the twins aren't replacing him with you but it was hard because you really are there for them so much more then he is..." (NT) -- Gabby, 23:09:02 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• "And I don't want to replace him... He's their dad... But I love them so much... And he hasn't been around enough for them." He agreed quietly, arms still tight around her - he wanted their dad to be in their lives for their sake, but no matter what happened he was determined to be a bit of consistency. (NT) -- Kaleb, 23:20:20 09/06/04 Mon

  ---

• She nodded a little, letting out a soft breath, shaking her head. "I don't what would have happened to us all if you hadn't come back when you did..." She smiled lightly, shaking her head. "I would probably still be holed up here, crying, and you would be out seeing the world..I think you got the worse end of this deal." (NT) -- Gabby, 23:25:01 09/06/04 Mon
