ATL visits the baby without the baby

Alexithymiaa: -After basically forcing Felix to go into Central to pick up Alex and Zack at their hotel which was completely stupid since they only lived down the block from Cadence so they went literally in the opposite direction to get these two fucks to turn around and go back to where they came from - they pulled into the driveway of Cadence's house. Excited to surprise her with some visitors and presents, Steph climbed out of the passenger side of the Jeep, using her crutch as she walked around to the trunk to get the shopping bag that held the wrapped canvas she'd been working on. "Hurry up, she's going to be excited to see non doctor humans that come with gifts." // Alex climbed out of the backseat with a wrapped box in his hand that Lisa DEFINITELY did for them because they're all idiots. "We're coming, we're coming. We walk faster than you anyway. Just meet us at the door." // Zack got out of the back on the opposite side, walking over to the trunk to take the bag from Steph since she was struggling to hold it and balance her crutch at the same time before closing the hatch on the back of the Jeep. "I got this. It'll still be from you, just walk."-
Covet: Cadence was in the house sitting on the couch with the TV on. She hated the off days when she wasn't staying overnight with Baby B, and she mostly spent them on the couch with the dogs and at least Soot. She had her head resting on Titus and her legs were tucked around Petey with her. Soot was laying on her hip in a cat loaf. She had her hair pulled up and was in more or less comfy, lazy loungey clothes, and no make up, cept for maybe some chapstick. // Felix was kind of grumbly that he'd been forced to go pick up Alex and Zack, when they totally could have just caught a taxi or something over, but he begrudgingly did it and just kept giving Zack dirty looks, especially as he offered to help Steph. He'd climbed out and walked around with Steph choosing to make sure she was alright getting up the path and stairs.
Alexithymiaa: "Shut up." She snapped at both of them because she didnt appreciate being treated like an invalid, turning to walk with Felix up the front path toward the door. Limping up the few stairs, she stopped in front of the door, knocking. // Alex followed behind the two of them, a little excited honestly because Alex wants kids of his own with Lisa, but his lifestyle right now is making that hard so he's living vicariously through others. // Zack stepped to the side with Steph's bag in his hand, standing next to them and turning to glance around the property briefly. "This is a really nice place. I'm glad her and Remy are doing so well."-
Covet: Cadence's pillow and footwarmer quickly bailed on her to go barking at the door, this startled Soot who went bailing over the back of the couch, digging his claws in a little bit as he did so, "Ouch.. you little asshole...." She said getting up, being careful not to stretch too much since she still had stitches across her stomach. Looking out the window she saw Felix's jeep and headed for the door. She was shocked to see not only Steph and Felix but Alex and Zack too. Opening the door she looked at them then at herself, "Great timing Dick and company. Where was the head's up phonecall or text about you coming over?" She asked with a smile, happy to have some company regardless, and stepped aside holding the door open for all of them to come in. // Felix stepped around Alex and Zack in order to stand next to Steph, a subtle "alpha" move since he had to be all puffed up with Zack here. "Hey Cadence, you look fine for someone who recently had a kid. Nobody is going to judge you."
Alexithymiaa: -Steph smiled widely when Cadence answered the door, limping forward so she could reach out and hug her like she's been doing a lot lately. "There wasn't one. There was a heads up knock instead of me just walking in. That's what you get." She said as she limped further into the house. "And we come bearing gifts." // Alex held up his little box set with a smile. "We do. Well one of them is a gift and the other is a box of fancy donuts. Lisa said I should bring food. The other gift is from all of us, but the donuts are specifically from me and Lisa. We get that credit. Just us. The other assholes had nothing to do with feeding you." He stepped inside to follow Steph. "How are you doing?" // Zack moved to follow Alex into the house, heading straight for Steph so he could set her bag down with her because god forbid anyone takes credit for anyone else's fucking gift here. "We were glad to hear everything went okay with the baby."-
Covet: "Well since you come with gifts, I'll let you all in. I just didn't realize you'd be bringint 3 unwisemen with your angelic self. My only regret is that the baby's manger is still at the hospital, so you guys can't see him, or how much he's grown." Cadence said with a soft pout. She looked at Alex and laughed, "Thank you for the donuts, Whatever I don't eat, I'll bring to the hosptial to share with the nurses in the NICU." She called for the dogs to come back inside, and watched them as they walked ahead of her to inspect all the guests with happy wagging tails and a need for pets. "Thanks, Yeah, it was rough for a few days, and it's a little tough now but he's a strong little guy." // Felix went and Sat down by Steph, watching Zack closely before Titus came up and he was immediately distracted with the dog smelling Nugget all over him. "He's got Remy's blood. He'll pull through."
Alexithymiaa: "My angelic self? What have you been taking?" She asked with a laugh as she dropped onto the couch next to Felix, reaching her hand out to pet Titus all up in Felix's shit. "So we're calling Remy's blood good then, right? That's what you meant by that?" She asked with a smirk. // Alex knelt down to pet Petey because he was all about the pups all the time, running his free hand over his head to give him pets. "We got concerned for a minute when Steph said you were in the hospital for so long." // Zack took the boxes from Alex so he could pet Petey with both hands because necessary, holding the box of donuts and the neatly wrapped box out to her. "From us. Congratulations."-
Covet: "Well there wasn't a demon at the birth of christ, Sorry." She said with a laugh as she sat down. "Yeah, Eclampsia is a bitch. Blood pressure spiked, causing a siezure at the pet store when I was there with Steph and Felix. Thankfully it was right around the corner from the hospital. Then they tried to get it back down, but I started hemoraging, and it put Baby B in distress. So he's here a little early." she said then tooked the boxes from Zack. "Thank you guys, This is very nice of you.' Setting the box that was obviously full of donuts to the side, she took the nicely wrapped box and went about opening it up. // Felix was all about the dog now, playing with his ears, while Titus got playful with him doing the butt up growling thing and bringing his toys over. "Yeah, it's good because Remy's strong. So are you Cadence. But Remy's definitely got the muscles to back it, so.. you know" He said with a shrug.
Alexithymiaa: -Steph raised her brows and turned a bit in her seat on the couch to look at Felix. "You're doing an awful lot of talking about Remy's muscles. Should I be concerned?" She asked with a laugh, reaching out to run her fingers back through his hair. // Alex walked with Petey over toward Cadence, settling to sit on the floor because he wanted to play with him some more, but also watch Cadence open presents. "Early is okay though. I wish we could see him, but we need to head out in the morning. I'm sure he's really cute." Inside the box were a little brown overall outfit very very obviously picked out by the wives and girlfriends with little socks, and then a couple of onesies.

"That's from all four of us. Rian is probably already asleep, and Jack was drunk when we left the hotel, so...."-
Covet: I know, I'll get some pictures of him sometimes this week. He might get to come home by the end of it. Opening the box, she smiled at the outfits and pulled out the onesies, "Aww, You guys and Fall Out Boy were his first concerts too." Cadence said smiling, holding them to her chest with a sniffle." Thank you." She looked at Zack, "You tell Jack he owes me a visit then. A sober one at that." // Felix looked at Steph, blinking. "You hang out with these guys... who are homoerotically friendly with eachother all the time... and you're worried about me, because I noticed Remy's muscles. Red, I'm the least of your worries." He said patting her on the head.
Alexithymiaa: "I'm not dating these guys." She said with a beaming grin before leaning over to kiss his cheek. "It's okay, everyone has noticed Remy has bulked up over the last year. He's come a long way from being awkward and lanky like he was when I first met him." // "I figured you would appreciate them. We just need to get him a little guitar next and we'll be all set." Alex said with a smirk, rustling his hands over Petey's back. Everpetting the dog. // "That's Jack." Zack chimed in a little too quickly to not be defensive, eyeing Felix. "The rest of us just live in close quarters with each other when we travel. Sort of comes with being in a band. Steph knows what I mean." He said, giving her a little nudge on the arm before looking to Cadence. "He'll come visit you, but I dont think we can promise anything about being sober."-
Covet: Cadence laughed at Felix's statement. " He really has in sooo many ways too." She said agreeing with Steph. "This kid better be muscially talented with as many people that we know that can play. I feel so left out as I am about as musically talented as a rock." Looking to Zack, "You tell him be better at least try." // Felix grinned and leaned into the kiss, then looked at Zack with a smirk, "Whatever you need to tell yourself man."
Alexithymiaa: "I mean, yeah... I guess that's pretty true. It's kind of hard not to be all up in each other's shit when you're touring. Jack is an entirely different story. Is there a person on this planet who hasn't seen Jack's dick? Because I envy them." She said with a laugh, leaning into Felix a bit. // "Hey I'm sure we can get you playing something. Have you tried the piano? That a lot of people's first instrument for a reason." Alex said with a nod. // Zack swept his hand back over his hair before digging into his pocket for his phone to text Jack. "I don't need to tell myself anything. It's the truth. And see, even Stephs seen Jack's dick. It's the unfortunate truth of being friends with him. You just see his dick." He shrugged his shoulders, holding his phone up for Cadence to see. "I asked Jack to send you a picture and he sent his empty beer bottles."-
Covet: "Oh Jack..." Cadence said shaking her head a little. She looked over at Steph, seeing her bag. "So what did you bring me more of? Not that you haven't nearly funded half of Baby B's room as is." // Felix put his arm around Steph, "Yes, be envious of me. I've yet to see it. And I'm going to do my best to keep it that way, just so you have to envy me." He said with a cocky smirk. Pun intended.
Alexithymiaa: (BAHAHAHA.)
Alexithymiaa: "Rest assured, he'll catch you. He thinks it's hilarious. Spoiler alert, it's not nearly as funny as he thinks it is. Seriously the hairiest man I've ever seen in my life." She said, her lip curling with a shiver of her shoulders. She looked down at the bag, clapping her hands together and pointing at it. "Oh right! Arizona can you give Cadence her gift, please? I have more, but I'm not done making them yet since Baby B came a little early." // Alex just shamefully shook his head. "He's my best friend and I love him, but I also don't know what to do with him." // Zack pocketed his phone again, looking at the bag and pushing up from the couch to pick it up and hand it over to Cadence. "I got it, don't worry. Stay off your feet." He said to Steph. At this point he enjoys subtly irritating Felix without her knowing. It's a game.-
Covet: Cadence took the gift from Zack, as he stood up to get it. She looked at Alex, "Don't worry that feeling is mutual across the board with best friends. It's just how it is." She smiled, "Thank you, and more... really.. Dick I think you might have a problem." She laughed. // "I thought your name was Zack. Not Arizona....." Felix just about had his hand on the bag before Zack snatched it up. He glared then looked at Steph pointing but put his hand back down in his lap and went back to petting Titus who was clearly his best friend now.
Alexithymiaa: "Hey!" She interjected loudly at the little conversation cadence and Alex were having, narrowing her eyes on Cadence. "I'm allowed to spoil my nephew. Don't judge me." She pouted before looking to Felix, moving her hand to his arm. "It doesn't matter who hands her the bag. It's fine." // Alex stretched his legs out to pull Petey closer, watching Cadence with the bag and sort of just hollering over his shoulder at Zack. "Quit digging your own grave." // "And I thought your name was Felix." Zack said with a shrug before returning to his seat on the couch. He rolled his eyes at Alex's comment, choosing to ignore him because this wasnt a conversation they had in front of anyone other than their usual four.-
Covet: "I'll judge all I wan't. I just won't stop you." She said as she looked at the canvas, "Oh my god I love it so much!" She said with a smile. "Thank you. I'll make sure this gets put up before he gets home. I'll make Tyler do it." She said with a laugh. // Felix looked at Zack, "For you, it's Mr. Marlowe. For them it's Felix. For her, It's Arizona. I'm sorry you're not cool enough to have multiple names, like me." He said with a smile giving Steph a light squeeze.
Alexithymiaa: "I wanted Baby B to have a special custom picture for his room. And I'm sure as time goes on, he'll get more." She said with a smile, leaning into Felix's squeeze when she actually paid attention to what the fuck they were talking about. "This isn't a real argument. I'll call anyone, whatever I want. Cadence, Bruce, Felix, Arizona, Scarecrow, Alex, A, Zack, Zachary... you are all whoever I decide you are in the very moment I choose to say your name. Now shut up." She moved her hand to the charm hanging from her necklace, toying with it between her fingers. // "You're killing my vibe." Alex said as he scratched behind Petey's ears, looking up at Cadence. "I want one visit where I don't feel like I need to measure dicks." // "What? We're not arguing. We're just messing around, right?" He said over to Felix, trying to smooth it over a little because he didnt actually want to piss Steph off. "Actually that reminds me, we're heading out in the morning to start the Summer Ever After tour on the east coast and we've got a few open time slots for Jersey and New York this weekend..." He trailed off so he could let her put it together herself.-
Covet: "I hate to break it to you all, but my dick is bigger than all of yours." Cadence said leaning back with a smirk, with her sarcastic remark, then looked at Alex, "I'm sorry I couldn't help it." // Felix looked at Zack, "Huh? Oh yeah. totally just messing around. I forgot what we were even talking about ADD Brain." He said with a big cheeky asshole smirk, pressing a kiss into Steph's head, because winning.
Alexithymiaa: "Truth. Cadence has both the biggest dick and the biggest balls." She said, pointing over at her. She turned to stare at Zack through wide eyes. "Wait, what? Can the Kittens play with you guys this weekend?" She asked excitedly, beginning to bounce in her seat before turning to shake Felix's arm. "New Yorkkkkk." // Alex leaned back so he could look at Steph. "Yeah, that was kind of the point of that. It's just an opening slot, but you know we like having you girls with us. You're fun." // Zack smiled and leaned over to hug Steph, nodding his head. "Yes, that's what we're saying. It'll be great. And you don't even have to worry about all your animals because I'm sure Felix would be happy to stay home this weekend to watch them." This guyyyyyy.-
Covet: Cadnce looked over at them, "I could easily watch them, I'm right down the road anyways, that way you can go together. I can just put Baby B in the stroller and take Petey and Titus down to your place with me and they can play with Penny and Nugget too." She offered. // Felix was looking at Zack trying not to be annoyed, but then grinned huge when Cadence offered, "Only if you think it wouldn't be too much, That would be great. I'm sure I could get some extra shots that we can add to the album booklet, since we're taking photos this Thursday, anyways. And it will probably give me some good ideas for the cover photo too."
Alexithymiaa: "I don't want it to be too hard on you, Bruce. Are you sure?" She asked before kind of getting giddy because this was exciting. "This is going to be so cool. I wish we'd have more time to spend in New York, but it'll be cool anyway. One of these days I want to be in the city long enough to actually get Broadway tickets." She bounced in her seat some more, looking between the guys. "Thanks for keeping us in mind." // Alex pushed up to his feet, reluctant to stop petting the dog, but alas, it's late. "Of course. Besides, you need to promote that album and you know we'll plug you before during and after our set. Now we should get out of here to let Cadence rest and go clean up our friend." // Zack climbed to his feet as well, giving a shrug. "It's great that you have so many resources available to you that if one person can't help out, another friend can. It's something special." And no doubt he put some emphasis on the word friend.-
Covet: "Sure ,it's no problem, none of the dogs are particular problem dogs. Because I train mine, unlike your brother." She said with a smile, having heard all about the Moose debacle. "You guys go and have fun." She added getting up. "Yeah, I hate to rush you guys out the door but I'm tired and I intend to be up early so that I can go see Baby B in the morning. Thank you for everything though I really appreciate it." // Felix had the smuggest of smug looks on his face, "You know what else is special, my girlfriend taking me her boyfriend to go see her home town. Even for just a little bit. You take care Cadence I'm sure Steph and I will see you before we take off this weekend." He said helping Steph up to her feet, seeing as he still had to take Alex and Zack back to the hotel too.
Covet: [He's such a shit.]
Alexithymiaa: (HAH. Its not even her hometown, you asshole)
Covet: [He don't care.. he's still winning]
Alexithymiaa: "Yeah, I want to get up early to swim." She said, putting her hands in Felix's so he could help her up to her feet. She shook her head, patting his chest. "I wasnt raised in the city, but it's close enough. Now put it back in your pants long enough to drive us back." She grabbed her crutch, beginning to limp out. // Alex blew out a deep breath, leaning down to give Cadence a little hug. "Take care. Give Baby B a little hug for me. And send some pictures so Lisa can see. I think she hates me for not giving her kids sooner." He said with a laugh before turning to follow Steph out. // Zack eyed Felix because THIS WAS NOT OVER, but then he started to crack up. "You don't even know where she's from? Nice." He said before going to say goodnight to Cadence so everyone could go home.-
