Cathy loved Dillon, she did. She loved him so much it scared her and it always had. When it came to their past, some things just weren’t pretty and sometimes it still affected her. This had been one of those times unfortunately where her jealousy and insecurity got the best of her. Dillon was really the only person able to get to her like this. Cathy scoffs as he accuses her of planning on breaking up with him. “ No! Of course not! You think I like not being with you? I don’t! I’m fuckin’ miserable without you! “ She confesses. She knew she shouldn’t have been so angry considering it was the past but whenever she found out about him and another girl, she couldn’t help but be jealous about it and possessive when it came to him. She’d prefer if she didn’t have to know about it. Cathy sighs heavily, dropping down onto the bed and running a hand over her face. She crosses her arms in front herself, dropping her defenses. “ No, I guess not.. “ She says quietly, her vulnerable side only he saw shining through.

There’d been a period of time when Jas never wanted to have kids. She didn’t think she’d be a good mother but now that her daughter was here, she was proving herself wrong every day -------- at least she started to after about the first month of Emma’s life, it was getting easier as they approached her third. Some nights Sam spent the night at his Harvard dorm and tonight was supposed to be one of those nights. It’d been hard in the beginning not having Sam around all the time but, she’d started to get her own groove going. Jas sat with her legs stretched out with Emma laying on her back on the bed in between them, lightly tickling her stomach as she went over animal sounds with her. She might have been too young to understand right now but it was making her smile and giggle, she loved seeing her smile and hearing her laugh ever since she recently started to. “ And cows go MOOOOOOOOO, “ She says tickling her daughter’s stomach, unaware of her boyfriend standing in the doorway watching them.

Vince had grown close to Seamus over the years he worked for him and dating Aoife just brought them closer. He was someone Vince turned to for guidance and looked up to. If he could have been half the man Seamus was, he would’ve been happy but in all honesty he didn’t see himself anywhere near that. He felt more like his birth father than anything else. “ I wanted to adjust to being back and make sure I was at my best before I came to you again. “ He reasons, being honest. Vince might have been a lot better than he was back then but when it came to working for Seamus, he needed to be on the older man’s level so he can keep up and not fuck up again.

Maybe she shouldn’t have been so upset but she had so many issues with their relationship in the past, she couldn’t help but feel all those things coming back up to the surface when something went wrong. Cathy couldn’t help but roll her eyes as he spoke. “ Of course the second I’m not with you, you go out and do some stupid shit with the first girl you find! A baby. Dick pics. What’s next? Comin’ back to me with the fuckin’ herp after the next time we break up?! “ She demands, knowing she shouldn’t throw Brianna in his face but she couldn’t help it. Even after all this time it was still a sore subject and her biggest source of insecurity when it came to their relationship. “ No, this isn’t his fault just his moron of an owner! “

As Liam spoke, Selena felt a wave of guilt fall over her. She had no clue what fighting with Darcy did to him. Seeing it herself made her feel completely awful. While Selena might have been stubborn sometimes, she could admit she was wrong. She didn’t have to take things as far as she had no matter how much Darcy provoked her. She kept her distance from the couple and nodded slightly as Darcy spoke. “ It won’t happen again, I swear. “

Morning for Colleen usually consisted of sleeping in unless she had errands to run. She didn’t nearly get to have family meals together like this as she wanted to. It was nice and Ansley wasn’t being fussy so that was a plus in her book. Colleen raises an eyebrow at Darcy as she speaks. “ You’ve done worse! “ She points out with a laugh as she reaches into the cereal box next to her and grabs a handful. She opens her mouth to make another comment but stops herself when Bridget begins choking. “ I haven’t even started talking about his cock yet and you’re already freaking out? “ Colleen teases, popping cereal into her mouth.

“ Oh! Sent! Problem solved then! “ Cathy all but yelled sarcastically as he corrected her. Whether it was past or present, she was still pissed off about it.Why was it still there if it was old? When did it even happen? Every time they broke up, it never lasted for long except when she found out he got her best friend pregnant. She simply raised an eyebrow at him as he attempted to make a joke about the situation. The last thing she wanted to hear was some dick joke about this. “ How old? We haven’t broken up recently and I doubt some random bitch is goin’ to keep a picture of a dick on her phone for this long! Dicks ain’t pretty, includin’ yours. “ She points out. Even if she loved Dillon’s, there was nothing about a penis worth keeping pictures of them.

She hadn’t meant to eavesdrop on Sean and Dillon’s conversation but Cathy wanted to know what was taking her boyfriend so long to come back to bed. What she heard sent nothing but anger surging through her. She made her way back upstairs and waited until he came back up to confront him. She wasn’t going to go off on him in front of Sean no matter how much she was tempted to. “ So... You’re sending girls pictures of your dick now? “ She asked the second he walked in. She didn’t give a shit if the bitch was dead, alive, or in a fucking coma, she didn’t appreciate her boyfriend dick on anyone’s phone but her own.

“ Well, I plan on fucking him again if that’s any indication “ Colleen says with a shrug as she hops u on the kitchen counter. She wasn’t the type to have sex with someone more than once unless it was a client but Caleb was good enough for a second shot. She didn’t usually get to hang out with both of her sisters at the same time but loved when she actually could. “ Hey! In my defense I was drunk and horny as fuck, I wasn’t exactly in the right state of mine to choose a 9 or a 10. “

Vince wasn’t a stranger to hurting someone or even killing them thanks to working with Seamus O’Brien but what he did was a completely different ballpark. Shitty nobodies on the Southside wouldn’t be noticed or even missed, but a cop? That was going to take him away from Aoife for a long time and if he had to be away from her, he preferred to have his freedom over a cell and bars in maximum security. Though he was gone, he tried to check up on her, relying on Rory Doyle as his source. He knew she’d gotten married and ‘til this day he still didn’t remember the month following getting that news. Whoever was able to have her as their wife was the luckiest son of a bitch on Earth, even in the universe as far as he was concerned. Seeing her smile, no matter how small, made his heart beat a little bit faster. Made him feel more alive. He nods, “ About a week, give or take.. “ He tells her, eyes fixated on her every feature in case he didn’t see her again he wanted to remember how good ten years had been on her. “ Been layin’ low for awhile. “

Colleen could feel the tension already between them building as their eyes met and it felt ages until he finally made a move. She squeals softly as he picks her up and pushes her up against some of the very boxes she’d complained about only moments ago. She moves her hands on his face, resting them on his cheek as she returns the heated kiss. Her lips part against his and tongue moves forward, brushing against his lips.

Growing up in the foster care system and later a group home hadn’t given Vince many people in his life. In fact, he could count the people he knew on hand and one of them was Seamus O’Brien. Having worked for him was how he earned his living once he aged out of the system and Seamus was one of the few people he had a massive amount of respect for. Since coming back, he contemplated going back to getting his job back but he had enough money to get by for a few months and planned on laying low for awhile but, living above a popular Southie bar probably wasn’t the best idea for staying under the radar. He’d been spotted. “ About a week ago sir, give or take “ he responds to Seamus immediately. After all those years, the respect never faded.

Her mouth was something that got her into trouble a lot. While she could be as sweet as honey, if she didn’t like you Selena could be one of the worst people you’d ever meet. She did hate that Darcy brought out that nasty side of her but she didn’t regret anything she ever had to say. Most people might have kissed her ass for being an O’Brien but she didn’t. Selena tensed up, ready to fight if she had to the second Darcy opened her big mouth but hearing Liam’s wheezing and his voice snapped her out of it. She immediately dropped her defenses, concerned about her best friend. She bites back a response to Darcy, clearly he wasn’t okay. “ Hey “ she says softly and calmer than her tone preciously was, moving closer to him. “ I’m sorry, I’ll stop. “

Hannah was poised to become the next Cathy of the family whenever she moved out but honestly, Hannah wasn’t sure if she wanted that. She wasn’t sure if she was ready to give up her life just yet and maybe subconsciously that was why she was taking the initiative to have more fun and be an actual teenager and not the runner up substitute matriarch. “ I don’t buy it, “ She say with a small shrug. Hannah couldn’t help the grudge she had against Cathy. She wouldn’t admit it but there was a part of her that was jealous she didn’t have someone making sure she had a good childhood when she was a kid and another part that wished Brody was even a little bit attached to her. Hannah broke off a piece of her pop tart and popped it into her mouth, listening to Kieran. Hannah couldn’t help but giggle slightly. “ Yeah, now you’re responsible. It just took a baby to get you there. “ She half teases, turning in her chair to face him. “ But you got your shit together, it is something to look up to. “ She admits because well she was proud of him for being less of a fuck up then he was last year. “ But speaking of babies, where is my nephew? “

Did he regret what he’d done? Yeah. But he was a fuck up, it was only a matter of time before it had been so bad he had to skip town. He’d always been a throw punches first ask questions late and eventually it was going to cost him. There wasn’t a day that passed that Aoife didn’t occupy his every thought. From the moment he woke up until he went to sleep, he wondered how she was, if she was happy. He never intended on hurting her by leaving but he had to and he knew it was for the best. Aoife deserved nothing but the best life had to offer and no matter how much he loved her and it killed him to let her go, he wasn’t what she needed. But after so long, he needed to see her again, he just hoped he had more time to get his shit together before he did. Seeing her in front of him, she was more beautiful than ever. It was still a mystery to him how he was able to convince her to take a chance on a piece of shit like him in the first place all those years ago. Whether he came back or not and no matter who he ended up with, one thing was for sure: Aoife was the love of his life. Vince cleared his throat, brought back to reality by her voice. “ Uh, yeah. “ He says a bit awkwardly with a half smile. “ You sure are re a sight for sore eyes. “ 

Once Vince left Boston years ago, he had no immediate plans to return to the city. He had to get away. He had to lay low. After killing a rookie cop in a bar fight, he couldn’t be in the city anymore let alone the state. So, he broke up with his girlfriend of nearly seven years and got out of town. It killed him to do it but he had to. Going to jail wasn’t an option and neither was bringing Aoife down with him. She was the love of his life and while he knew for a fact she’d drop everything to flee with him, he just couldn’t do that to her. He couldn’t make her leave her family and friends to hide from the law for him. She was too good for him and he knew it. She was the only light in his darkness. But nearly ten years later, he finally brought himself back to Boston. While the first thing he wanted to do was have his light back in his life, he knew he had to stay away. He couldn’t drag her back into his bullshit. And for a week he’d managed to keep any signs of him being back from her but that week was over the second he walked into his usual bodega to grab his morning coffee. That was when he spotted her, coming out from one of the aisles. Everything around him came to a screeching halt and he had to keep from pinching himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.

There’d been a time when Hannah was afraid her brother was turning into their father but he managed to pull himself together and she was incredibly proud of him for that. Now he was a father and already so much better than their own. Her older siblings did give her hope that she’d  be fine in the long run. “ And put bars on all the windows in the basement” she adds knowing if they ever did lock their parents out of the house, Aiden would stop at nothing trying to get back into the house. She takes a long drink of her coffee as Kieran speaks, the hot liquid warming her throat. Hannah knew Cathy’s heart was in the right place and she wanted to give Brody better than what they had themselves, she just wished it wasn’t so obvious that she was on the back burner most of the time. It felt as if she didn’t matter. Hannah makes her way over to the table, sitting across from Kieran and setting her mug down. “ And I get that, I do. “ She sighs, ripping open the package of toaster pastries. “ She just doesn’t show nearly as much interest in the rest of us. “ She shrugs.
