SUTTON!

I have twenty bucks on that baby not giving two shits about your schedule and coming out a different time. 

Not a real football. But a soft squishy one. 

I’m pretty good. How are you? I would invite you to go to New Orleans with me, but I don’t want anything to pop on the plane.

Just twenty? 

I think we can manage that, but still not for a while. Oliver's going to have a lot to adjust to when he gets here.

I'm well enough. And I think you probably made the right call about New Orleans, but why are you going down there? Is Rosie going with you?

Sutton & Morgan

You look fine, Morgan. Sometimes I wonder if you know that or not. How are you, though?

I don’t know that at all. I’m doing alright, though a bit bored as of late. How are you?

I hope you figure it out very soon. As for me, I've been stressed beyond belief... but I'm trying to stay calm enough for Oliver. What a conundrum. 

Have you found anything to cure your boredom? I have filing you could do, if you'd like.

SUTTON!

Come hug me you cute fatty. When are you going to finally poop that kid out so I can play football with someone?

The twenty-third, if he sticks to the schedule. 

It'll be a while before anyone will be playing football with him, though. A few years, at least.

How are you, Axel?

Sutty & Kai

You don’t need to thank me! How much longer until I meet little Prince Oli? Did you at least have fun and are feeling better now?

A few days! Well, hopefully. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, and he's going to tell me how everything seems to be looking.

Both of us had great fun, Kai. I'll be sure to make him thank you as soon as he can talk. 

I feel like I need to repay you, though. Is there anything I could do? Would you like to go to the beach soon?

Sutton & Micah

Sutton, you’re never tagging along. Aubrianna would be ecstatic to see you and it’d be great to have a chat with you and Oliver! I hope he’s not making his mummy too uncomfortable. I know you’re going through a tough situation but you have friends that love you and are here for you Sutton, all right? Never forget that.

Oh, Micah...

Oliver's doing fine, he's just getting a little restless. I'm out of my element here, but I'm adjusting. Everything will be fine, I know, I just... Lately all I've done is feel sorry for myself. How awful is that?

Anyway! Lunch. Right. Where were you wanting to go? I can meet you.

Piper & Sutton

I’m so glad you both are fine. I know! i’m so excited! He must be kicking a lot and just moving and stretching You’re doing an excellent job. Which brings up something i’ve wanted to ask…could…could I be there with you when the big moment comes? 

Well, Wren is going to be on my right... So if you don't mind holding my left hand and letting me crush your, then by all means! I'd love for Oliver to see a few smiling faces when he's finally here.

Besides, you meant  -- mean -- the world to K.C. and I'm sure he wouldn't have it any other way.

From open mic night a couple weeks ago.. It was a blast, there were a lot of talented people there. 

What did you sing?

Sometimes when I actually make an effort with my appearance I can actually look human! Wooooo!

You look fine, Morgan. Sometimes I wonder if you know that or not. How are you, though?

Someone just asked me who George Strait was.

I don’t know how I feel about this.

It sounds like you're going to have to teach them all about him. 

Had a meet up at UCLA this morning with all the other students in the distance program with Yale and it was great to hear about everyone’s fears and motivators, aspirations for their future, and what they do while they’re in school. Everyone was very nice and I hope that some of them end up being my friends, but I’ve missed you all, my friends from here. How has everyone been?

Everything's wonderful over here, Kai. I'm glad I caught you, though, because I wanted to thank you for the baby shower. I appreciate that you threw it on such short notice, and it was really everything I could've asked for; I'm just sorry that I wasn't feeling too well at the time. 

Headed home after a grueling overnight shift. It’s rare, but losing a patient still happens. It’s never easy calling time on a younger kid. Still it motivates me even more to make sure that I do my part in cleaning up the streets of Downtown LA. I hope the week only gets better from her. I’m going to take Aubrianna out to breakfast, anyone care to join?

Do you care if I tag along? I might not be the best company right now, but I would love to see Aubrianna.

Axel & Sutton

I’m not expecting anything. You know how I work, and I know how you work. Nothing else to say. 

I know I should… I just don’t want to right this second.

Yeah me too. A huge hospital bill is what happens. 

You don't have to. Just don't get into trouble before you do.

Honestly, it's... much easier just to pull off the bandaid and try to forget about it. Not that you should, or that it works, just that it's easier.
