Who Ya Gonna Call? Me.

Children growing up is for sure one of those bittersweet things when it comes to parenthood, but if you look on the bright side, you’ve still got a lot to look forward to. That song is gonna be stuck in my head now and I don’t know how I feel about that, but if you were able to turn back time, how far back would you go? Are you aiming to revisit her infant days or just a few months?

I know there’s still a lot, I just can’t believe it’s been five years already. Sorry about getting the song stuck in your head though, It’s been stuck in mine, because that’s really all I can think about. And I think I’d revisit all the big things, the milestones, just to see them one more time.

What if Sophia asks? With those big beautiful puppy dog eyes? Because it’s all she wants to hear in the whole world?

Ask her yourself, Soph knows Papa can’t sing.

I suppose I’ll wait till then.

Oh come on, live a little, have some fun.

That’s all you can really do.

I do realize how stubborn you are but I also know how rarely I give up but singing is a part of life. I’ll put the camera away and not record anything but we are absolutely getting some singing on.

Yeah, still not happening, Ellie. Better luck next time.

Oh no, I totally want kids but like when I am older… I ain’t financially stable enough to have them right now and I seem to be lacking a lady to have them with.

It’s true, it is not?

Well when it happens, you’ll understand my need for a time machine.

Ryan, I am a woman who is very skilled at getting what she wants. I have a feeling that you absolutely do sing and I look forward to getting this prove on camera. 

I am tone deaf. You clearly don’t understand or realize how stubborn I am. And I wish I could blame this on the hearing thing, but I’ve always been tone deaf.

I’d must rather than Sophia for letting Grace teach her. She is so in love with living in all these different worlds. I should warn you that she’s apparently wanted to go all out for Soph’s birthday. She suggested we buy her a pony. 

For the love of god, if you buy her a pony, it’s living at your place, Rory. Please do not spoil her, she doesn’t need it, I’d much rather her learn the appreciation of people, not things. Despite all my best efforts, the thing she’s looking most forward to is presents.

Why does that sound like y’all think I’ll never have a kid? I love kids… They make people smile on the saddest days.

Oh dude, I am so James Bond it’s unbelievable and, can I just say, you’ve never seen the both of us in the same room…

I never said that? I just didn’t want to make an assumption that you wanted kids.

What like it could exist or something cause I was sure it wasn’t real you know?

I’m Del Rio, Franco Del Rio.

We have no idea what could exist. I was joking because I’m not ready for my daughter to keep growing. It’s something you’ll understand if you ever have a child.

I’ve bought so much stuff for her. Don’t mind me if I randomly start recording you on my phone in hopes of catching sight of you belting out this song. 

Trust me, I don’t sing. No one wants that.

Grace is very excited for this birthday. She said Sophia turning five makes her that much closer to her age. I tried to explain they were still the same age difference but she said, “No, daddy. Five is closer to seven than four,” which isn’t a lie. She also wanted to let you know that Harry Potter has a Time Turner but she doesn’t want you to have it so that Soph can grow up with her. I understand the pain though, man. 

Oh to be young and have such a black and white concept of facts. I love hearing whatever facts Grace comes up with or recites out, and again, send my thanks for teaching this little nugget to read. It’s great that the girls can grow up together, Sophia is more than excited to start school so she can be just like Grace.

Time machines don’t exist right?

It was more of a joke, but technically with all we don’t know about time and space, no one can speak in absolutes.

Eliana: That's nice of you to say, Ry, but we both know it wasn't the holidays that got me this way. But I do owe you an explanation and I miss seeing you. Not to mention, I have no one else to use my ASL with.

Eliana: Would you mind? I think this is grown up conversation time.

Ryan: Then an explanation you can give, but you don't owe me anything.

Ryan: I miss seeing you too so dinner is perfect. And you can use all the ASL you want to, I'm all eyes.

Quinn: I'm very lucky to consider you a friend, and Sophia is a very lucky little girl to have you for a father. No matter what you've been through, it's clear that she's number one in your life. We want to give that to our little one as well.

Quinn: Thank you.

Quinn: After I came home, I talked with Hunter and Sebastian. Apparently they'd had a talk as well while I had been staying with you. This is what we decided is right for us. It's scary, unplanned, and maybe not something we ever expected, but it's ours. Like Hunter said, the three of us together can do anything.

Ryan: We're pretty lucky too. Sophia thinks nothing but high things of you and couldn't have been happier to have you stay with us. Plus, you were Zeus approved, nothing better than that.

Eliana: Hey Ry. I know I've been kind of.. whatever but I was wondering if you're free tonight? Maybe dinner, you and me? It's shitty for me to reach out when I want to talk but I really think maybe we should. Let me know.

Ryan: Hey, it's not shitty. We all got busy with the holidays and everything that comes with that.
