I figure Mickey learned to drive at an early age as soon as he could reach the pedals basically. The Milkoviches can never have too many getway drivers. I wonder if he ever got his driver's license though, I mean, I'm sure he has one, less sure if it's the real deal.

oh, totally.

when do you think he learned? 10? 11? i honestly imagine he was short as a kid so his brothers probably started before him, and i imagine they taught him how to drive.

he definitely got a fake license at maybe 13? but he definitely got his license. ironically, i saw this on pinterest, and i don’t really remember it in the show but it happened- so here’s mickey’s license:

so he got it on his seventeenth birthday, which would’ve been during season 2.

but also his license says mickey and not mikhailo- idk, it could be fake, or maybe it’s fan-made and i’m stupid. i looked it up and it’s apparently in the show but i don’t remember that.

i wonder this about the gallagher’s, too. i mean- in season 1 we know that lip can drive but ian can’t, but by season 3 ian can drive. who taught them? who taught fiona? was it frank? did jimmy-steve teach ian? idk.

Ian stubbed out the cigarette into the ashtray and sat up a little more, leaning towards Mickey he whispered, “Hey, you awake?”

“Mmm, I am now.” Mickey murmured, his low rumbly sleepy voice making butterflies in Ian’s belly flutter wildly.

Ian moved gently in the bed, not wanting to jostle Mickey, “Can’t sleep.” His lips quirked up in a smile as he moved closer to Mickey, now able to see his grin as he moved above him, carefully adjusting to where he was over Mickey, leaning down to where his chin was resting on Mickey’s back, holding himself to where he wouldn’t press against Mickey’s injured shoulder.

“Oh you can’t?” Mickey’s voice was teasing as he peeked between his thick lashes at Ian.

Ian grinned, a hand reaching up and tenderly touching Mickey’s side, before swiftly turning him over onto his back, being mindful to not disturb his shoulder, his hands keeping Mickey gently pinned to the bed.

Mickey looked up at Ian, his eyes wide with surprise, his lips tugging into a grin.

“Why? That a problem?” Ian teased, his grin blooming over his face.

“Oh no not at all.” Mickey answered, his eyebrows rising up, almost challenging Ian to do more before quickly slipping a hand free and reaching up, wrapping his arm around Ian’s neck, pulling him down.

Ian laughed as he fell against Mickey’s chest, “C’mon wake up!” Ian giggled as he reached up and gave Mickey gentle pats on the cheek.

“You are goin down carrots.” Mickey huffed through a grin, “C’mere carrots!” He tried to pull Ian back down to his chest.

Ian rolled to the side laughing as Mickey wrapped his arm around him and pulled him close to his chest.

Mickey laughed as Ian easily gave up his upper hand and relaxed against him, nuzzling his face there and inhaling deeply.

“I love how you smell, d’I ever tell you that?” Ian asked sleepily.

“Possibly, but I don’t mind hearing it again freckles.” Mickey murmured, his hand coming up and wrapping around Ian, his thumb brushing against his speckled shoulder.

Ian grinned and pressed a kiss to Mickey’s chest, “I love how you smell.” He murmured, grinning softly.

Ian could feel Mickey’s fingers curling into his hair and he wanted to let his touch drift him back to sleep..

Mickey hummed slightly as he leaned up and pressed his lips to the crown of Ian’s head, Ian shifted slightly and turned to where he was looking up at Mickey from his place on his chest, his chin almost hurting as it dug into his sternum.

“Hi.” Mickey murmured softly, grinning as he tilted his head up slightly, his chin pressing into his chest as his eyes roved over Ian.

Ian’s lips broke into a smile, “Hi.” He whispered back shyly, his copper eyelashes tracing against his dappled cheeks.

For a moment it felt like everything was at peace, the thought almost lulling them both back into a slumber.

“We can stay here forever,” Ian whispered.

Mickey was hit with a wave of heartache, because they couldn’t stay there forever, they had shit they had to do, had to deal with, then, once it was taken care of, then they could stay there forever.

Who are the most popular siblings so far I want to know who I have to sabotage

So far Colin and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead have had the biggest margin, winning with 90.4% if I remember correctly. Gerard and Mikey Way of My Chemical Romance are a close second with around 80% of the votes on their respective pole

The Gallagher brothers were by far the most submitted siblings, but only won their pole with 57.3% of the votes

[bigassbowlingballhead]

Baby Colin Robinson is what I thought they were going to do with five since Aidan has aged considerably, and five himself hasn’t.

I’m just really glad they didn’t because baby Colin Robinson is what nightmares are made of.

[mikhailoisbaby]

LISTEN I HAVE THOUGHTS :

okay so think Mickey and Ian are in their early 40s at Colin’s 3rd wedding all of Mickey's brothers are there, Mandy, most cousins they were close with and all of their kids.

It’s a shit show really.

Mickey and Mandy are drunk (they both don’t drink much as they get older) but they needed it to be with so many Milkovich siblings and cousins at once, their cousin Joey had a massive rant while doing the speeches, and Colin's bride brother already cause one fight that leads to many other fights and so much more.

so after multiple fancy-ass cocktails and jack Daniels, they are standing on one of the large tablets that guests haven’t been sitting at, they just dancing and singing whatever songs that the DJ is playing but they are full of laughs, Iggy and sandy egging them on from the floor.

Half of Mickey's buttons are undone, the tie loosely hanging, Mandy's dress straps keep falling and her high heels have been abandoned and thrown across the room same as Mickey's black fancy shoes and they are just having fun that they never got as kids.

Ian and Mandy's husband is trying to get them down, the kids are embarrassed but at the same time encouraging them.

They only get down because the food that hasn’t been eaten is getting put in boxes so people can take them home and Mickey and Mandy ain’t wasting free food.

They both jump down knees and back cracking in the process they run to the other side of the room slinging everywhere on the Lino flooring because they only have socks and tights on, the younger kids are running after them because they think it is funny.

Ian and Mandy's husband starts apologising to other guests as they are somewhat getting pushed out the way by the youngest Milkovich siblings with a herd of children behind them.

They all had a good night, wedding Guests are glad that they got entertained, all Milkovich siblings are glad that they can still have fun even in “old” age and Ian and Mandy's husband is impressed with how much free wedding food they are taking home.

GIRL FROM THE BASEMENT

Fandom: Shameless

Pairings: Mickey x Ian

Words: 1746

Description: One day Terry Milkovich shows up with a wife. All his kids are confused, especially Mickey. She’s younger than all of them and she’s quiet strange.

Terry Milkovich has kept a secret for four years, a young girl in his basement. Now that's she's 18 and legal he forced her to marry him. She the new stepmom and people have questions, including why she has such a great knowledge of the Milkovich's private lives.

May 30 2020 - June 11 2022

It was a brisk autumn day, Mickey was walking home from Ian's. It didn't take to long to get home maybe 15 minutes or so, Mandy was already home.

He pushed open the door and was greeted by his younger sister, arms crossed and looking concerned. Behind her he saw his dad walking around, once he saw Mickey he charged over.

"I gotta talk to all of you- couch now." Mickey peaked over his dads shoulder to see his brothers already there and waiting.

He walked over calmly at sat down, Mandy close behind him. He looked over to his dad who was sitting across from all of them on an old lazy boy.

"Hey! Come 'er!" He yelled out to the kitchen.

Mickey craned his neck back to see who was walking out. It was girl with brown hair and a slight build. She stared at the floor and hurried over to Terry.

Mickey's brothers looked around confused and glanced back at their younger siblings. They all looked back to Terry.

"This is Lillian, we got married yesterday. She's your new mom. Treat her well. Lillian these are my kids." He looked completely unamused at he spoke.

The Milkovich siblings looked at each other in shock. How the fuck has their dad gotten married.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." She spoke softly barely discernable.

Terry reached over the coffee table and turned on the tv. He picked up a gun and started fiddling with it. Taking it apart to clean maybe?

He looked up at her with distain. He clenched his jaw and looked up at her again.

"Lillian dinner?" He asked expectantly.

Her eyes widened.

"Yes sir, I'll start now. Is there anything you'd like?" She swallowed and looked at him timidly.

"That pasta salad I like, somin' else too. I got a job,'watch the kids while I'm away. Iggy!" He shot up and followed his dad to the door and out the house.

The eldest brother walked off leaving Mickey and Mandy still there. She smiled politely and spoke softly.

"Is there anything you'd like for dinner?" They looked at each other and then back at her.

"Na' I'm good thanks." Mickey said cautiously, she nodded and walked to the kitchen.

Mickey looked to his sister and got up to follow Lillian.

"So uh, you and my dad huh?" He asked. "How old are you anyway?"

She paced the kitchen nervously picking things from the fridge and placing them on the counter. She quickly glanced over then back to the ground.

"Yes, I'm eighteen." She spoke softly.

Mandy looked over at her brother, wide eyed. She was younger than the both of them. Mandy 20 and Mickey 21.

—

"Wait so your saying she just showed up?" Ian looked at Mickey confused.

"Yeah fuckin' weird right. Girls like 18 shows up out a' no where actin' all weird. Been here for like a couple months now too. C'mon you'll get it when you meet 'er." Mickey grabbed onto Ian's hand and pulled him towards the house.

Mickey pushed open the door and looked around. He was quiet, he leaned over to Ian's ear and pointed.

"She's back there." He spoke barley audible, like they where hunting in the woods.

Ian cocked a brow as they walked farther into the house. Terry's bedroom door slammed shut and he waddled out popping a cigarette into his mouth.

He glared over at the boys, scoffed and walked passed them.

"The fuck are you lookin' at." He zipped his fly and walked out of the house.

Just as the door slammed shut Terry's bedroom door swung open and a flash of something passed by into the bathroom. She didn't even close the bathroom door before she was knelt over the toilet spitting something up.

After a minute or so she got up and they could hear water running in the sink. She rinsed her mouth and walked out of the bathroom. She seemed angry at first but as soon as she saw the boys she pulled her sweater closer and looked down, timidly.

She was wearing some of Mandy's old clothes, a purple loosely knit sweater, jeans and a tank top.

"Oh, um hello Mickey you've brought Ian, would you like something to eat?" She walked past them keeping her head down as she passed them into the kitchen.

The boys looked at each other in confusion before following her to the kitchen. She kept her head facing down the whole time, but Mickey could see what she was hiding.

"The hell was that about?" He looked to her concerned.

"It was nothing, don't worry." She looked up as she spoke.

"Y' know you don't have to act like that with us. Not when he's not here." She glanced over at them. A big bruise was forming around her eye.

"I appreciate that Mickey." She looked at them nervously before sitting on a wooden chair near the kitchen table.

"He hit you?" Mickey asked calmly.

"Yeah." She let out a sarcastic laugh.

"What happened." She looked up to Ian. Her head looked to the floor again before she said anything.

"I'm pregnant."  Her voice broke as she spoke, eyes glistened. The boys looked slightly shocked.

"Congratulations." Ian half heartedly replied. She just shook her head and looked at the ground again.

"Yeah." The room was overwhelming silent, the sound of a faucet dripping in the background, before Mickey spoke again.

"I'm sorry I can't do this anymore. Why the fuck are you with my dad huh? We don't have any money. Is his dick that good?!" Ian stayed silent in the corner.

Lillian slammed something down onto the counter.

"Better me than your sister at least." He looked over at her.

"How the hell do you know about that? Now that I think of it, I didn't tell you Ian's name. What the fuck is this?" He walked closer to her as he spoke. "Why are you here? Huh? Why don't you just leave?"

She let out a short sarcastic laugh.

"Like you don't know." She glared back at them. "You really don't know?" She sounded almost angry now, but the boys still looked confused.

"You don't know? I haven't left this house in six years. You think I had the choice of suitors."

"What the fuck are you talking about!?" Mickey asked, confused. She shook her head.

"You really don't know?" Her eyes watered as she continued. "I was like eight when I hit puberty, early bloomer and all that. When I was about eleven or twelve I looked about sixteen y'know. I was walking home from school one day and your dad pulled up. I was near some trees. Away from everyone. Said he needed directions." She paused.

"He pulled me into his car and took me home with him. He had my library card, it had my name and birthdate. I tried to get away before, he always brought me back, always. He had this friend one who's good with ankle monitors. He jerry-rigged one with a dogs shock collar. I never tried to run again." She cried as she spoke.

"He only took it off and let me up because I'm eighteen now, perfectly legal. But I've been here for a long time. The floors are wooden sometimes I could see through the cracks or through a knot that had fallen through."

"I saw what he did to Mandy, I saw what he did to you, to Ian, Iggie and Collin. I've seen things I wish I could bleach from my mind. If I do what I'm told maybe I'll get out when he dies." Ian looked at her sympathetically.

"What about the baby? You gonna keep it?" She looked up at Mickey, head shaking and tears falling from her eyes now. She quickly wiped them away.

"I don't really have a choice, do I?" Ian looked at her with pity and Mickey just looked uncomfortable and confused.

"We should have dinner sometime, just you. You can come to my place I'm sure my family would love to meet you." Ian said trying to change the subject and hopefully lighten the mood.

But she just laughed sarcastically.

"I haven't left this house in six years. I doubt I'll be leaving anytime soon." Mickey licked his lips and tightened his jaw.

"Why don't we just go?" He looked between Lillian and Ian.

"He'll find me, he found you didn't he?" She looked down tears falling from her eyes.

"If we go now, we have a head start. We can hide you at my house, Fiona will be fine with it." Ian said.

"Are you sure? You'll all be in danger if I'm there. He'll look for me, he'll make you look for me." She looked to Mickey fearfully. He shook his head and leaned down towards her.

"You're going to Ian's, alright? Get anything you need now and we'll go." She looked shocked, she stood on shaky legs. Like a newborn fawn she stumbled towards the boys.

She practically lunged at Mickey, wrapping her arms around him. Squeezing tightly. She sobbed but pulled back. She wiped her face and turned towards Ian next.

He was more receptive to the whole 'hugging thing' than Mickey was. He put his arms around her and patted her back gently. She let go of him and looked to the both of them.

"Thank you so much." She turned and ran down the hall. They could hear steps down to the basement and then back up.

She held a small blanket neatly folded in her arms and a small stuffed bear under the other arm.

"Is that all?" Ian asked sadly. She nodded softly.

"Let's go then." Mickey put a hand on her back and led her to the door. Ian opened it and usher the girl out of the house.

She walked onto the pavement and took a deep breath, it wasn't exactly fresh air, but it was the best she'd gotten in six years.

She leaned over, grabbed Mickey's hand and nodded. They lead her down the street.

“You’re lucky your sister didn’t off you then and there…” V sighed as she shook her head at Fiona, “if that was my man…hell, if you’d done that to Kev knowing how I felt about him, they’d never be able to find the body!”

“What?” she asked, “how is that shit my fault?  She and Tony were the ones that never acted on it.  And after the event, we both felt horny.  WE acted on it.  It wasn’t like I jumped the guys bones and he had no say in the matter, V.”

“Yeah, but you knew that they had crushes on each other…” she frowned, “I mean, don’t you feel bad about it?  Like at all?  Fi Fi’s been picking up extra shifts at The Alibi Room, and she’s been bustin her tail picking up odd jobs because she knows you haven’t been able to find anything.  She let it slip to Kev that she missed her classes this week because she picked up extra work instead.”

“Tony did drop off flowers for me,” she admitted as her brow furrowed, “and he did stop by this morning to talk to me…I guess if anything, I just feel guilty that he asked me in the first place if they really did have all those feelings for each other.”

“Where’s Fi Fi?”

“Bitch disappeared saying something about ‘needing to get away,’ or something,” she scoffed, “acting like none of us ever need to get away from anything.”

“Fi…”

“She’ll get over it,” Fiona shrugged, “she’s my twin…plus, it wasn’t like it meant anything to me…she knows that.  She knows I don’t really care about Tony, so she should be able to get over it, right?”

“What it meant to you wasn’t the problem!” V said, very matter of fact, “the problem is what it meant to your sister.”

“Don’t stop!  Don’t stop!  Don’t stop!” you begged as your thighs locked around his waist and you pulled him closer to your own sweat-laden body, “Colin…please.  PLEASE!  Don’t stop!”

The blonde inside of you groaned, his hips bucking even harder as he pressed himself into your core, “Fuck, SOFIA!”

“COLIN!”

He growled into your ear as he came, his warmth spilling into you and filling you up.  His heavy breathing warmed the column of your throat as he came down from his own high, “fuck…that was amazing, Sofia…”

“Yeah…” you lied your heart aching at the thought of how your twin had fucked the man that you were really in love with.  It’s not that sex with Colin Milkovich wasn’t amazing, it was.  He’d been your first boyfriend, and the man you lost your virginity too, but he wasn’t Tony.  He wasn’t the guy you’d been in love with practically your whole life, “I uh-I gotta go soon…I got classes at the University and-“

“I can take the L with you if you want…” he offered sweetly, “Make sure no perverts don’t bug you or nothing.  Was gonna ride into the city and see my Aunt Rande anyways…”

You couldn’t help the sad smile that found its way to your face.

Sure, the Milkovich family wasn’t known for being nice, in the slightest.  But you’d been aware of Colin, a kid from your grade, nearly your whole life.    

And you knew that he had a soft spot for you.  Just like you’d had one for him. 

“Sofia…”

“Hmm?”

“What are you thinking about?”

“We’ve known each other a long time,” you admitted softly as you reached up and played with some of his curls, “haven’t we, Col?”

“Give me a name and I’ll fuckin’ kill em, Sofia…”

“No…no, it’s not that,” you frowned, your hands sliding down until you were cupping his face, “I just-sometimes I wonder-why do you like me?”

“You’re kidding, right?” he chuckled, rolling off of you.  When you didn’t move, he sighed and pulled a cigarette from his bedside table, “you’re fucking gorgeous, first off…but you’re more than just a pretty face, tight cunt, and pretty body, Sof…you’re amazing…and you’ve never looked down on me or my family, despite the rest of the school doing that.  We’re just two south side kids that gets each other.”

You pulled the cigarette from his lips and took a drag.  He watched you with a vested interest.

“Who’s got you thinking some type of way?” he asked gently, “who’s making you feel like you shouldn’t be loved like the queen you are, Sofs?”

“Fiona fucked Tony…”

You watched as his jaw clenched.

He never liked Tony.

And not just because Tony made it very obvious that when he graduated high school, he wanted to be a cop.

“Fucking prick.”

“I’m madder about Fiona doing it,” you frowned, admitting the truth to him, “Tony-I get it.  We weren’t officially together or anything, but we’d been spending a lot of time together…and he kissed me.  But Fi…she knows…had to have known what was going on.”

“Get to the part where I can have a reason to kill the fucker…” he chuckled, taking another drag from the cigarette, “one that ends with you saying it’s okay to.”

“Colin…”

“I mean, I don’t need a reason,” he said with a smirk, “and for what he’s put you through I’m tempted to go at it with a tire iron.”

“Do that and you’ll never see outside of a cell again.”

“If it put a smile on your face, it’s worth it.”

“It wouldn’t.”

“So, he fucked Fiona…” he said, once more starting up the conversation.

“I’m more mad at her,” you answered, “she knew how I felt about Tony ever since we were little and yet she just fucked him…she took his virginity and-“

“Wait…this loser was still a virgin?”

“Colin…”

“You weren’t a virgin by the time we got together…well, by the time we finished together…I should say…”

“Colin!” you tried again.

“Keep saying my name and I’ll be ready for round two of the morning before I let you leave,” he teased as he took another drag from the cigarette, “have you so full of me it’ll be leaking down your thighs by the time you get home.”

“I have to go to class, remember!” you reminded him once more, “don’t have time to go home now.”

“Even better…”

“So, your sister fucked the virgin…so what…you came back to what you know the second you got upset and we’ve been fucking since last night…” he shrugged, “I don’t like being second fiddle to Markovich, but if it pushes you back into my arms, I’m not going to talk shit about it.”

You frowned even harder.

He wasn’t wrong.

You had gotten so upset about your conversation with Fiona that your first reaction was to go to the Milkovich house and have sex with your ex-boyfriend for most of the night and the early morning.

“Fuck…nice tits, Gallagher.”

“Get the fuck out, Joey!” Colin growled at his older brother as the elder Milkovich boy grabbed his hat from his dresser and threw it on his head, “where you going?”

“Gonna go kick your little girlfriend’s baby brother’s ass!” Joey smirked, before sending you a sad look, “sorry Sof…he messed around with Mandy.  Gotta protect our little sister.”

“What?” you asked, shooting up from the bed as you pulled the covers over your chest, “who?”

“Ian…”

“Wh-that’s impossible.  Joey…Ian wouldn’t-“

“That’s what Mandy said,” he said with a shrug, “Mickey’s getting Iggy and we’re gonna go kick the shit out of him.

“You ca-“

“Sof-“

“Colin, that’s my little brother…”

“Tony-what are you-you’re supposed to be on patrol…”

“What are you doing here?” he asked, his brows furrowing as he stepped away from his car.

“I-turning my badge to the building in…”

His eyes went wide, “you’re turning your badge in?  Sofia, why?  You-“

“I can’t work here,” you said, shaking your head, “not after-“

“I-it was a mistake,” he said quickly, “I mean, it wasn’t a mistake.  But I-“

“Save it,” you said, cutting him off, “I really don’t want to hear about it, Tony.  You made me the laughingstock of the station.  Shit, you helped me get a job here…start talking about how I’m coming to dinner every Sunday at your moms…then the one thing I can’t go with you to, you’re fucking my twin sister in your cruiser.  It’s not just the station.  The neighborhood ladies were talking too.  Saying how you’re jumping between me and my sister.  But I don’t play those games, Tony.  I’m not just some placeholder in case you really want Fiona.”

“That’s not what this is, Sofia…I-“

“Save it,” you grumbled, shaking your head at him, “I don’t want to hear it, Tony.”

“Everything okay, baby?”

Your head snapped in the direction of Colin as he stood at the driver’s side of his family’s car.  He put his hands on top of it and began tapping.

“Seriously?” Tony groaned as he rolled his eyes at you, “you’re fucking Colin again?”

“I know what I’m getting with him,” you shrugged, “plus I know that he wouldn’t fuck my twin sister.”

“Sofia…”

“Sof?” Colin asked, a little louder, “you okay baby?”

“Yeah,” you nodded, barely looking back at him, before turning your full attention back to Tony, “you know, you deserve to be punched for what you did…fucking my sister.  She was supposed to go with you to one little award as a friend…friends don’t fuck in a cruiser, Tone…I should fucking deck you like I decked Fiona.”

“Then do it…”

“No,” you said with a shake of your head, “it’s not worth the charge…but I tell you what, Tony Markovich, you can go fuck yourself!”

“Tony…”

“Hey…you hear about the missing boy?” he asked shortly, looking between you and Colin.  Your eyes went wide.

“There’s a missing boy?” you asked, “what happened?”

“He got taken from a birthday party, right across the street from where your dad’s been staying…”

“Shit…do they need help looking?”

“Think he coulda gotten grabbed?” Colin asked.

“We got everybody out looking,” he said with a nod, “Choppers.  SWAT.  We put out a dozen extra units.  Amber alerts.  But if you guys want to help, I’m sure any additional hands would be appreciated by the parents!”

“Yeah…of course…we’ll go right over…you said the house by where my dad’s staying, right?” you asked, “Sheilas?”

He nodded, and tapped the outside of his car, “hop in…We’ll give you a lift over and you can get a picture from the parents.”

“Not too fond of getting in the back of a cruiser, Markovich,” Colin frowned as he pulled you closer to his side, “we were about to stop over to the house real quick to get some more clothes for Sof because she’s staying with me…but we’ll stop by after that!”

“Col…it’s a missing kid…”

He frowned but nodded, “we’ll get your shit after then…”

“Yeah…”

“Need a ri-“

“We’re good!” Colin growled, cutting Tony off as he held you close to him, “thanks for the tip, officer!”

Tony gave you a sad look before nodding and starting the car back down the road. 

“You okay?” you asked Colin.  He nodded and grumbled something about ‘fucking pigs,’ but you brushed it off, “hey, come on…let’s go help search for that kid…”

“You get it done?”

“Yeah!” she nodded, as she looked at you, “we cool?”

“Not in the slightest,” you admitted, shaking your head while people showered Debbie with cash, “but that’s a conversation for another time, Fi.”

“You know I wouldn’t try to hurt you on purpo-“

“Fi…” Your twin sister frowned at you once again and you nodded your head over to where Frank was already kneeling by the cash in an attempt to take it for himself, “looks like he came to collect…classic Frank.”

“That’s Debs…”

The two of you nodded at Lip and Ian, who finished the small circle of the older kids.

“No, I’m just helping her!” he said quickly, barely sparing the boys a glance as he continued to pick up bills.  Colin raised a brow and ian and Lip stepped on his hands.

“Make sure that money gets to Deb?” you asked Colin, Ian, and Lip.  They nodded and you and Fiona looked back to Deb, “you gonna go with her to the station?”

“You don’t wanna?” she asked, seeing that Tony was coming up to them.  You shook your head, and Fiona sucked in her cheeks, “Sofia, I-“

“Later,” you reminded your twin.  She gave you a simple nod and you walked towards Sheila’s house, ready to go get Liam, so that you could take him back home with your other siblings while Fiona went with Tony to the station. 

When you came out of the house with our baby brother, you saw Tony scouring the crowd before spotting you and giving you a sad look. 

“The boys got the cash picked up for Debs,” Colin called from the bottom of the steps.  Your eyes broke away from Tony’s as you came back from your thoughts.  He was holding a hand out to you, “ready to stop by your place, babe?”

“The kids good to go too?”

He nodded, “Yeah…Lip said he was going to stop by Karen’s real quick, but he should be home later tonight.”

“Thank you for everything, Col…”

“Anything for you, Sofia.”
