“Babe, I swear I didn’t mean too…” Something was bound to happen to the dog sooner or later.
Cain looked at Wika. “You what?”
“You locked my keys in the car?” That remark was followed by an eye roll. “No more, Wika, I mean it. You are staying with us from now until we leave, and that damn game is going back into the car. As soon as I get it unlocked.” He looked back over at Rose, okay she didn’t seem that upset with him. “Please tell me, you being the wonderful wife and all that you are, that you somehow managed to keep the spare keys in your purse?”

Wika rolled her eyes and gave a soft, squeaking moan. "Daaaddy..."
"...my purse is in the backseat. Yes, and I'll put your pillows and Kibbles' old bed in the guest room for you."
"I can get in!" Wika tugged her father's arm. "I can, I'm pretty sure I can!"

“Don’t ‘daddy’ me, it’s not working this time, Wika,” Cain was trying to be stern, again. He wasn’t very good at it, but this time he really was mad.
“Oh, c’mon, Rosie,” he pouted, okay she was more upset then she’d let on. “I didn’t kill him on purpose, I swear. Honey, please don’t make me sleep in the guest room…”
He looked down at his currently whiny daughter; she was treading on thin ice. “Okay, please don’t break my car.”

Rose didn't reply. She only began picking at her nail with a very calm, cool look on her face. An instant signal she was pissed.
Wika nodded and rushed to the trunk. She dug around in her pocket and pulled out a paper clip. After a little bending to a straight point, she slipped the end into the trunck's lock. After a few minutes it popped open. Wika grinn edna dhopped into the trunk with the excitement of a hyperactive rabbit. A minute later her face appeared in the back seat window.
"Told ya, Daddy."

“Please, God, don’t let her know how to do to other doors,” Cain muttered, watching in amazement as his daughter’s face appeared in the window. Okay, one problem solved, one to go.
“Rosie,” he was standing closer to her. “Would it help if I said I’m really really really sorry, and that I love you more then words can say?” She had that look, and she was picking at her nail. Bad sign all the way around. He was pretty much dead in the water. “That’s the reason I didn’t tell you, babe, it was easier the other way.”

Wika climbed into the front seat and unlocked both doors, climbing out with the keys in hand. "Got 'em."
Rose glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. "...A little." She stopped picking her nails and looked at him. "Fine...you don't have to sleep in the guest room...but you get to cuddle with Kibbles' favorite squeaky toy."
A slight smile softened her face. "But, since you were honest now, even thought you were sort of forced...you get to keep your normal bed buddy." She leaned over and kissed his cheek lightly.

"Randyyyyy!" Cat sighed, letting him pull her along without much struggling. "Why are we coming here? We didn't even GO to this high school! They're gonna kick us ooouuuut!" she made the biggest fuss she could, seeming to want to draw attention to herself.
She was wearing her favorite party dress, midnight blue with a bit of shimmer, and some heels that made her at least feel a ittle taller

Randy looked back and grinned, pulling his wife close. "Becuase there's a good chance Eva's gonna be here. It's been how long since we've seen all of them together?" He was dress in a pair of tailored black pants, lime green converse and an pen black jacket with an old Aerosmith T-shirt underneith. A thin brown mustace covered his upper lip and a faint amount of stubble was growing across his jaw.
He smiled and patted her flat stomach. "So, how's lucky number three doing tonight?"

Jack blinked at her, he had so much he wanted to say to her; hell, he’d even practiced saying it in the mirror for hours that morning, and now he couldn’t even think of a decent reply to ‘it’s nice to see you again’.
<Say something you freaking idiot.> He blinked again, running his tongue over his lips.
“Yeah, nice to see you too, Evie… Evlyn.”
<Stupid, stupid, stupid.>

"Don't worry about that, worry about watching the other two you insisted on bringing....." Cat sighed softly, looking around for her two little boys. Ben, the older of the two, 8, had the good sense to keep his brother Daniel, who was 5, out of trouble, and stay out himself, but she still worried when she couldn't see them.
"You really think she'd come back for this....?" she asked softly. "She hasn't come back at all, why now?"

<Evlyn...... that's how it is now, I guess.> Eva sighed slightly, trying to keep her smile up.
"How have you been, Jack?" she asked quietly, tilting her head

Randy glanced around the parking lot, catching sight of his sons trailing behind their mother, unnoticed. He smiled. "I have a feeling. And I hacked into the school's RSVPed list."

Cat hit him gently, laughing. "Didn't I tell you to lay off the hacking after the cops showed up the first time?"

Randy shrugged innocently, smiling. "I was careful...I used Wika's computer."
"Benny! Danny!" Wika rushed over to her small friends, grinning. She scoopted up Daniel and tickled his stomach lightly. "Heya, buddy, you miss me?" She looked up at Cat and Randy with a smile. "Hi, Uncle Randy. Hi, Aunt Cat."
Daniel squirmed and giggled in her arms. "Wika! Yay!"

Cat rolled her eyes at her husband, then turned to Wika, smiling slightly. "Hello, neice Wika." she laughed, her response to being called 'aunt' "Staying out of trouble?"
Ben watched Wika and Daniel, just smiling sligtly.

Randy wrapped an arm around Cat's waist and kissed her cheek. "Hey, sweetheart. How're you doing?"
Wika smiled. "Mostly and I'm good, Randy." She angled Daniel in one arm and flahsed Ben a wolfish grin she'd received from Cain. "Heya, Benny boy. You and your brother get dragged here to?"

<Horrible. I barely sleep, I drink too damn much, they’re gonna fire me if I show up late to work one more time, and, God, I miss you.>
“Good. And you?” Jack gave a half ass attempt at a smile.

<Before of after travelling the damn world to find someone remotely like you, damn near getting my ass killed more than once, and suddenly wishing I had?>
"Great." she grinend slightly, running a hand through her hair. "Well, a little overwhelmed." she looked around, then shrugged. "This place had changed.... You still live around town?"

“Yeah, couldn’t stay away.” Jack gave a half shrug.

Eva smiled and nodded, looking around to try to get a bright idea about what to say, trying to stay away from certain topcs. She came up blank.
"So, um.... is there... uh.... are you seeing anyone?" she bit her lip. She hadn't noticed a wedding ring, but that didn't mean anything.
