I thought I wanted to go into creative writing, but now I’m sorta thinking about creative technologies but also I really enjoyed my psychology class this semester…. So what I’m getting at is that I really don’t know…

-

You, ahahem, uh. You wanna go for a walk?

-

I know it’s gotta be weird for you seeing me and Stone have more kids, but if you ever have any more kids, I’ll love ‘em just as much as I do my own. ‘Cause I have a child who is half you, and your other children will be half you and they will always be connected to our child. And I love you and Chandler, so… of course I’ll love them too. 

-

He can certainly resemble Peter Pan, but… I don’t know. I’m not trying to pressure anything out of the situation. I’m just enjoying his company and trying to figure out how I could possibly have as many of his babies as possible at the same time. 

I think he likes you a whole lot too. In my observations, which I’m much better at now that I’m not living here, is that you’re really the only person he feels comfortable around. I’d bet money on you’re healing some part of him too. 

-

I think we’d all mother a few of his babies if he’d ask us to, honestly. And I’m not asking this to stir up any type of insecurity in you, I’m genuinely curious - what do you think would happen if Devon ever came home? She hasn’t in what - years? I think she’s written us all off. I just always wonder about her. About them. Though, he’s seeming to glow again when he smiles and I know that’s solely because of you. 

I’m thinking about changing my major, but I really don’t know. 

I honestly have no idea. He’s been at my house for four days straight, though, and we’ve slept together every night. Both literally and… you know. The other way too. I feel like it’s too early to call him my boyfriend, but… I don’t know, Alice. This time it’s different. 

Fill me in on what’s going on between you and Holland, though. He seems more smiley than before. 

-

Good! I hope he’s matured by now and sees that you’re perfect for him! I mean, if Casey and Ryder could mature you’d think Eli could as well, but that man is such a wonder and a mess. 

Oh, like just the two of us? Uhm, ehah, yeah. I would really, really like that. A-ahem. Sorry for blushing.

-

Don’t apologize! You’re so handsome I didn’t even notice - and now talking about your blushing is making me blush! Okay, I am so not suave. 

Our boys are the cutest best friends. Oh, speaking of best friends actually, Frankie and Issy got to play a lot together while we were in Hawaii. Like attached at the hip. I’ve never seen her like that. We all had a really good time. We needed it. Can I tell you a secret though? Eli kissed me. On the beach. At midnight. In the pouring rain. While Cal was asleep in the room we were sharing. 

-

I’m happy to hear your kids had a great time, but excuse me, did I hear that correctly? Because it sounds like you’re telling me the plot of a Lifetime movie. 

Did he insist on using parsley on everything? I use parsley all the time, and when I don’t he’s like, “Daddy, where’s the green stuff?” 

We were all so convinced that Graham was going to be Stone’s, but when he was born, and the doctor handed him to us after he was all cleaned up, Stone was just like, “That’s Chandler 2.0.” My hope for Graham and Chandler, in particular, is that they have a special bond. We don’t treat any of our kids different at our house, but you can tell the biological siblings have a special bond, and Chandler’s never really had that. 

-

Oh yeah, parsley and salt and pepper ‘cause Daddy says salt and pepper goes on everything, except the sweet things. 

We could take Chandler camping. Canoe on a lake or somethin’… 

-

Oh my gosh. Yes, definitely. He’d think he died and went to Heaven. And then you and I could just spend a night somewhere too, you know, if you’d want to.
