I thought it was Montober?

... What's today?

... What's today?

[sunshine-and-pinetrees]

Forgive me for the rather long break I took. Gwen had complications and I wanted to be there for her. She ended up going into an unexpected labor last night.

It's been hard but she's okay.

In happier news? It's a girl.

I don't know if you respond to anons but I'd like to offer my sincerest condolences for Daniel putting annoying birds next to your bed. xD

They're his babies so I can't really complain. And don't get me wrong I love music and the song is fun. But... the birds.

[sunshine-and-pinetrees]

... Daniel decided to teach his birds that Peaches song. All of them. So imagine a family of budgies all going "Peaches Peaches Peaches" over and over. Not even in sync most of the time. All night and day. He's purposely put them next to my bed too.

I have to admit... Bluey is pretty great. I think if my dad were still here he'd be a Bandit. My mom's like Chili.

[sunshine-and-pinetrees]

GREAT! Why don't we go plant something! That'll be fun!

Happy weed day! Where we appreciate the great values of gardening and keeping our plants healthy from invasive weeds!

You guys are the worst!

I shouldn't be jealous but... I wish I was smart like Elise was for a tattoo.

[sunshine-and-pinetrees]

Oh you REALLY don't wanna know. It's nothing special.

I shouldn't be jealous but... I wish I was smart like Elise was for a tattoo.

[sunshine-and-pinetrees]

.... That's nice... I uh... I don't think I'll tell mine.

I shouldn't be jealous but... I wish I was smart like Elise was for a tattoo.

[sunshine-and-pinetrees]

..... I was 17 and drunk.

"We're good, all good! Gwen gets morning sickness still but we're good," David only nodded with a cringed smile with the hug. A tattoo? The hair? Different style? How much time had passed was clear on the young girl. She wasn't the small little girl who volunteered years ago. With the excitement of horses and that sweet soprano voice. She wasn't the little girl who asked questions millions of miles per hour.

She was grown up. With dreams and hopes and a life ahead of her.

Is this how it was gonna be with his own kid? David pulled away and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"... Your uh... Your hair looks great."

@sunshine-and-pinetrees:

“ELISE! I’m so glad you’re home! We’ve missed you so much oh gosh- oh!” David stops with his arms still out stretched for a hug and looks at Elise for a moment. “Oh my you uh… Got… Quite the change there. H-Heh…" 

Pocketing her keys, Elise dropped her bag beside her with a subtle smile, one that faded quick when David paused and looked her down.

“Oh, uh, yeah. I figured I’d get my hair done before camp started, get something fresh, yknow?”

Really, she knew that wasn’t all he was referring to. The tattoo on her left arm was probably all he could see right about now.

Her stomach twinged a bit, but she bit the bullet and came in for the hug, ushering to move the conversation along.

“How’s everyone doing? I haven’t seen you guys in forever it feels like!”

[sunshine-and-pinetrees]

I hope Elise is okay. She hasn't answered my texts and hasn't called since I lectured her. Maybe I was too harsh

[sunshine-and-pinetrees]

Note to self.

Pitbulls have rancid gas

"Hey Jellybear! Happy Easter! I know you're not much for egg hunts but I sent you a basket with your favorite candies. I wanted to know if you received it. Did you get it hon?"

He smiles in a hopeful way. "Did it arrive?"

"... maybe I should give Elise a call. Wish her a Happy Easter. Hopefully the basket of her favorite candies I sent got there in time." He perks up when holding his phone seeing Elise's number.

"Yeah! I'll call and ask!"

He picks up the phone and dials Elise's number.
