You can only corrupt your own kids

Covet: Cadence had Trick dressed up in an adorable Oogie Boogie outfit, since he was getting pictures with Jack Skellington after all, he was riding in the stoller just kind of looking up at the toys dangling above. Looking over at Felix and Connor, then back at Steph she raised an eyebrow, "So, why do you have Kelsey's kid tonight?" // Felix was chatting away with Connor about zombies anything to keep the kid distracted from the drama in his home, and to keep him occupied while they waited in line for their pictures.
Alexithymiaa: -She crossed her arms over her chest, glancing in Connor and Felix's direction before lowering her voice to address Cadence so Connor wouldn't hear what they were talking about. "He called me last night upset that Bradley and Kelsey were fighting. It was bad. He was really scared, so we picked him up and brought him to our house. There's some shit going on between the two of them." She said with a roll of her eyes, not really caring what the issue was because you still don't do that in front of your kid.-
Covet: "Jesus... Really? But She's like, little miss perfect, what could they possibly be fighting about, that would not only wake their kid up, but cause him to want to leave?" Cadence spoke softly back, doing that gossipy girl thing. // Felix was laughing and having a good time with Connor unintentionally making it a big show offy thing about how good he was with the kid.
AlexithymiaaAlexithymiaa : (Felix stop.)
Alexithymiaa: "I don't know, but I'm not bringing him back until I find out. Not until I'm comfortable with what's going on there. And I told her that. I won't do it. I already talked to Holly about coming over for a few hours tomorrow night during the dance, but he's staying at the house." She said, shaking her head and glancing at the pair again. She watched Felix with Connor being amazing, giving a little sigh and absently moving her hands to clutch at her chest because just BURSTING.-
Covet: "Fuck. Here I was thinking they were a couple that actually stood a chance to withstand the bullshit of portland." Cadence said moving up in line. She looked over at Steph who was oggling Felix. "I'm going to assume that you've really got no issues with Connor sticking around for a while, given that reaction." She smirked giving Steph shit. // Felix was laughing away, then stopped when he noticed Connor stop then get his attention to lean down, then Felix turned to look at the girls, " So, The kid and I are going to hunt down the restrooms, but we'll be back quick, save our spot?"
Alexithymiaa: "Right?" She said to Cadence before giving her a little shove. "Cut it out. Of course I don't mind. I love having him, but I also sort of hate being reminded that Felix doesn't want kids..." She trailed off, looking to Felix when he spoke. "Okay. Arizona, please go in with him. Connor, no funny business. You guys need to come right back so you don't miss your picture."-
Covet: "Ah, yeah.. which is funny, because you'd never guess that with how good he is with Connor or Trick." Cadence said then laughed at the response from the guys. // Felix scoffed, "No funny business he's with me and it's the bathroom... we'll be fine." He said in a less than reassuring tone. // Connor looked at Steph and grinned, " Yeah, the only funny business that's gonna happen is his face." he said to Felix, having learned some annoying habbits from him, before he turned around, "To the bathroom!"
Alexithymiaa: "Oh god this is my future flashing in front of my eyes..." She said as she covered her face with her hands, letting out a deep sigh. As the boys took off, she turned to Cadence again. "He's great with kids. Really great. It just has nothing to do with that and I am desperately hoping he changes his mind."-
Covet: "Give it some time, I'm betting that Remy didn't want any of that at some point too." Cadence said then looked down at Trick, "But time changes people. Who knows Maybe Auntie Steph will help make Felix feel secure enough that he can see it happening." She said wiggling Trick's foo, making him smile. // Felix took off with Connor and directed him to the bathroom, to help him to the boy things.
Alexithymiaa: (Im just having flashes of Felix trying to teach him to pee on things....)
Alexithymiaa: "I know. And he's even gotten more open to it as time has gone on. Originally he was pretty dead set against it and now it sort of just humors me, so that's at least a step in the right direction. Maybe I should go back to the doctor to get a clean bill of health so he'll see that I'm actually in a condition to move that way. Not like, now obviously, but to plant the thought seed for the future? Or is that too much?" She asked, stepping forward as the line moved.-
Covet: [AHAHA]
Covet: Cadence gave a shrug, " I mean, it's either going to work, or you're going to have to be more obvious with it. There's a chance that it will seem like his idea though if go about it right, and then he won't feel as pressured maybe?" She suggested and moved up.
Alexithymiaa: "And how exactly do I make him think it was his idea to see an OBGYN? That's not exactly something men jump to when they think healthy." She frowned, looking down at her feet to sort of just stare at her boots because pretty. "Especially with all the craziness going on. Halloween this week, Zack is coming in next weekk and we have a show, and then Thanksgiving and Felix's birthday... and then the album release..."-
Covet: "Yeah, well, you don't have to go into details as to WHO gave you the clean bill of health. Just start easing into things, You're already kind of doing that much by having him around kids. The more he's around them the more he'll see they're not an issue." Cadence explained, "Shit Dick, You're going to be busy as all hell. " // Felix came back with Connor who was wiping his hands on his pants not getting them full dry with the paper towels. " We made it!" The kid said then looked at the line, "Is it almost our turn?" Connor asked.
Alexithymiaa: "I know." She groaned, pushing her glasses up on her nose. "And the label wants us to come up with some sort of gimmicky drama to draw attention to ourselves and spike presales before the album release. We've tossed around some ideas, but it feels shitty." She turned when the boys came back, sending a smile. "Almost there. Everything go okay in the bathroom?" She asked, not exactly wanting details, but she also was hoping a security guard wasn't looking for them.-
Covet: "Wait.. Why not use this Keegan shit to your advantage for some gimmicky drama. Maybe that will make her cool her shit when she realizes the whole world is laughing at her." Cadence suggested like the catty bitch she was. // "Yeah, of course. Everything went perfectly awesome." Felix said looking down at Connor with a smirk giving him a wink. Connor tried to wink back then turned around to count how many people were ahead of them.
Alexithymiaa: "Because I don't want to do anything real. I don't want to throw my personal life into any sort of spotlight like that. I like having my stage persona and what people see being very different than who I am." She narrowed her eyes on Connor and then on Felix, seeing those fucking winks. "What did you two do?"-
Covet: Cadence gave a shrug, "I'm just saying.. that shit is about as gimmicky drama as it gets. And the bitch would deserve it."// "Nothing." They said immediately "We did exactly what we were supposed to do." Felix told her. // "Yeah, and we made sure to wash too." Connor said with a nod.
Alexithymiaa: "Bruce..." She mumbled, not taking her eyes off the boys because they were suspicious as fuck. "Connor... what happened in the bathroom?" She asked with a stern voice, barely blinking.-
Covet: "You might want to tell her... Cause if she has to find out... It's waaay worse." Cadence told them. // Felix gave a non-challant shrug, then looked at Connor watching him cave. // Connor looked and Steph, "Nothing, I promise. Felix just told me to play along and wink back at him."
Alexithymiaa: "Arizona!" She said, giving him a shove. "Seriously? Come on. How old are you?" She asked through a growl, starting to make her way up toward the front of the line. Almost picture time, yay.-
Covet: Cadence couldn't help but snicker and laugh too, because it was amusing.// Felix cackled out, "Old enough to know the best prank is no prank at all. Good job Buddy." He said to Connor and gave him a high five. The kid turned around to see that there was only one more person ahead of them before it was their turn.
Alexithymiaa: "Uhuh... any more pranks and the puppies aren't allowed in bed." She said, more annoyed that they'd gotten her than anything else. "Is anyone hungry?"-
Covet: "Aww.. that's just mean to the puppies." Cadence said. // Felix dropped his mouth, "But we didn't prank you. We didn't do anything. And yes. always hungry" // Connor nodded his head and just listened to Steph because he knew how to do that. "Yes Steph, I'm sorry. I am a little bit, can we get something to eat after our pictures?"
Alexithymiaa: "You pranked with a non prank. That's not very nice and I don't think it's right for you to let Connor think it's okay so he ends up getting in trouble with his mother." She made eyes at him, trying to make a point that this was more of a longterm lesson than anything else. "Apology accepted. When we're done with the picture, we can go to the food court and see what everyone wants?" She asked, glancing around their little group.-
Covet: "Sounds good to me. I'm craving a chocolate milkshake." Cadene said then started to get Trick out so that he could be passed about to get pictures with everyone. // Felix glared at Steph, "It was completely harmless, the only person who's getting in trouble for it is me apparently. " // "I want fries!" Connor said jumping at the front of the line now.
Alexithymiaa: "Ugh, no milk..." She said in a small voice, not liking how her body reacted to the ice cream last night. "Alright, as soon as we're done here we can go." She said, stepping over to get closer to Felix so she could whisper to him. "Would you stop? You're not in trouble, but I don't want to send him home learning how to screw with Kelsey."-
Covet: "I don't know if they make soy milkshakes or not.. that sounds awful though." Cadence said. " You don't have to get it. I totally am though." // Felix leaned in finally catching her drift, then spoke back, "As if Brad hasn't already done worse by this point?" // It was thier turn for pictures, and they were directed up by the person taking them, to go sit on the bench next to Jack, in however their party order was going to do it.
Alexithymiaa: "That's not the point. It's not up to us to decide what he may or may not already have learned from Bradley." She said before stepping forward and looking to Cadence. "Why don't you and Trick go first?"-
Covet: "Okay that works. " Cadence said taking Trick up there to get a cute family picture taken and all that. // Felix laughed, "Okay fine fine." He said giving into Steph. // Connor waited patiently until it was his turn.
Alexithymiaa: "You're only allowed to corrupt your own children. That's like... a rule." She sort of just dropped before turning her attention to watch Cadence pose with Trick and Jack for their little family picture, smiling. "Okay Connor, do you want anyone in your picture?"-
Covet: Cadence came back with Trick to get ready to hand him off, but then stopped when she heard Connor say he wanted everyone in it. // "When have I ever followed the rules, and that can't be a rule because you already told Cadence you were going to corrupt her kid." Felix pointed out, then smiled walking up to get into the picture this time around. // " Yeah Everybody, because we're all here together." Connor said.
Alexithymiaa: "He's my god son, that's different. And she's corrupting him first, I'm just along for the ride after the fact." She stepped forward to get in the picture with the group, squeezing in because I imagine the set up wasnt exactly meant for so many people.-
Covet: Cadence went to hand Trick over to Steph, then took Connor's hand so they could get out of the way for Steph to get her pictures. // Felix sighed, "So many rules. this is ridiculous.
Alexithymiaa: -She reached out to take Trick from Cadence, giving him a little bounce before looking at Felix again. "Well maybe you'll eventually get to make your own rules." She said before sitting down with Trick to pose with Jack.-
Covet: "Oh really?" Felix asked with a grin, totally forgetting what they were actually talking about. "I'd be a great rule maker." he said with a cocky smile on for the pictures. // cadence waited with Connor until they were done.
Alexithymiaa: -Thinking he was reacting excitedly in response to getting to be a parent one day, she perked up, standing up once the pictures were taken and setting Trick back down in his stroller before turning to look at Felix. "I think so too. A really really great rule maker." She reached for his hand and gave it a squeeze. "Okay, is everyone ready to eat?"-
Covet: "Absolutely famished." Cadence said making sure Trick was all buckled in. Making sure she gave the email to the person so they could print the photos out later // "Always." He said with a grin, then him and Connor started going on and on about which fries were the best fries.
