Subject: -

she sat on the couch watching the two oblivious boys play on the floor, sitting with the toys their father had brought them. She had tears rolling over her cheeks, this was hard, very hard, raising the twins alone, knowing he didn't love her anymore. She had gone through so much for him, to save him, and her thanks was a divorce. She'd lost her husband and her best friend. She had a little saved up to support them all now, but soon she'd have to take a job, start working, and good luck finding something without a high school diploma, there weren't many options for her anymore...

[> [> she wipes at her red eyes, blocking Aesop as he rushed to the door, the dog was very over protective of her and the twins lately, as akitas had a tendancy to be. Opening it a crack, she peers out. Seeing him, she opened it all the way and forced a smile "Hey Marcus" she grabbed Aesop by the collar and the big dog settled. He knew he could over power her and was very gentle with her and the boys -- Ellie, 16:22:04 03/26/03 Wed

[> He frowned a little in concern and wandered in, running a hand over the back of his head awkwardly, he hated to see her so down "How are things?"... like he needed to ask -- Marcus, 16:30:40 03/26/03 Wed

[> [> she let him come in,releasing Aesop "They're nicer than any of the toys I bought for them" she said softly, shaking her head "Make yourself comfortable, the boys will be anxious to see you" the boys were growing to love him, and it pleased her, they needed a decent male influence in their lives -- Ellie, 16:55:54 03/26/03 Wed

[> [> there was a real smile present when the boys chattered animatedly at him, scooting towards him, they were very close to crawling. She didn't mind Marcus's visits at all, it gave her a small break and she got pleasant company out of the deal. "Would you like anything to eat or drink?" -- Ellie, 17:20:51 03/26/03 Wed

[> [> she rolled her eyes "I should have known huh?" she rummaged through the fridge, pulling out the makings of a sandwich, some chips from the pantry, and getting him a cold soda. "Here you go" she said, placing the plate and the soda on the coffee table -- Ellie, 17:36:21 03/26/03 Wed

[> [> her smile slowly faded, her eyes on the twins. They looked so much like Tommy, they even had his attitude "You're the real angel...all the help you've been giving me" -- Ellie, 11:35:57 03/27/03 Thu

[> [> she laughed lightly "You like being here?" she said, picking up a drooly baby "with all the places you could go?" he had lots of options, with all that money, it was like a small scale version of the Kennedy family, the fame and the money -- Ellie, 14:40:33 03/27/03 Thu

[> after clearing his plate he set it aside, out of the boys reach and picked up a toy, messing with it absently as he glanced up at her "yeah... its one of my favourite places" -- Marcus, 14:47:03 03/27/03 Thu

[> [> she glanced down at her son, gumming on her curls, a small smile on her face, she liked hearing that, knowing that he liked coming here, being with them. "But you know so many people, can go to so many places, a lot nicer than my cluttered little apartment...where you won't get baby drool all over your nice clothes" -- Ellie, 14:49:50 03/27/03 Thu

[> [> her voice was quiet "I don't like having to see Tommy, Marcus...it's such a mess." Marcus had taken over old duties after things had started to fall apart for her, slipped into Tommys role of the confidant -- Ellie, 15:40:28 03/27/03 Thu

[> [> she brushed the dark hair off the little boys forehead, taking her hair from his mouth and sighing "The boys should see him..I know that....but I don't want him too.....he can't take care of them alone..." she never mentioned Jordans name, not ever, to her she was a non person -- Ellie, 16:13:39 03/27/03 Thu

[> He frowned, shrugging a touch, it had never struck him that Tommy would do anything too rash with the boys, but he didn't see it all- so he couldnt really say. "yeah" -- Marcus, 16:33:52 03/27/03 Thu

[> [> she set the boy aside, looking for something to occupy her hands "He's not mature enough to watch them alone" that and she wanted to hurt him, the way he hurt her, though she doubted anything could compare to the hurt he inflicted upon her -- Ellie, 16:37:55 03/27/03 Thu

[> [> she shook her head, tucking her curls behind her ear "I've got nothing Marcus, no future, and a rushed past" she'd thought about it long and hard, she didn't have much of a future, and her youth had been cut short, so what did that leave her with? Two boys to support and no real way to do it, she refused to accept any help from Tommy -- Ellie, 16:48:11 03/27/03 Thu
