Aiden Halliwell

“Isn’t that the point of a sleepover? watching movies and having pillow fights or something?” Natasha quipped, changing out of what was left of her tattered pants and into the sweats Aiden had given her.  She’d never actually had a sleepover, given that her teenage years had been spent on combat training.  “Company would be nice though - despite what my cold hard, badass exterior suggests, even I get kinda shook up when someone shoots me.”  Though it was said with a smile, she meant it; she’d often need to be around someone she trusted when a mission had gone wrong, or she’d been injured.  Learning to let herself be vulnerable around someone had become a little stab of vengeance against the Red Room.

“But first, point me to your cleaning supplies - you don’t need your bathroom looking like a hospital.” 

“Yeah, if you believe what happens in the movies. Then that is exactly what happens at sleepovers.” Aiden laughed, finding it rather amusing. She was rather excited about the idea of a sleepover with Natasha. It had been a few days since they last got to hang out in any form. “I wouldn’t think of you as cold, hard. Badass, yes. But definitely not the other two. You have needs just like the rest of us do. I would be shaken up too if someone shot at me. I’m used to demons attack unfortunately.”  As unpredictable as demons coming were, she was used to them. “you’re welcome to stay here as long as you need to. You know that. I don’t want you to go home until i know you’re okay.”

KLAUS just managed to catch Aiden as she jumped at him, gripping her thighs and chuckling indignantly. “Hello darling,” he purred, pressing a kiss to her neck. “Excited to see me this morning?”

     “Yeah, but cigarette smoke is a hard smell to get rid of.” Practically everything Glen owned reeked of it and there was no chance he’d quit any time soon. Just as well. The heavy smoke helped more often than not to dull the strong, odorous scents around him. Even so, he stayed near the window as he smoked. “Good for you,” he added. “A lot of people can’t cut it out of their lives.” Glen chuckled, taking a long drag.

     He said nothing for a few seconds, scrolling through his phone for the pizza place. Ordering online made it easy. After snatching the address for the apartment, he placed an order for three pizzas. “It says forty-five minutes, but it’ll be closer to thirty. The place isn’t far.”

     “That is true. It would take a lot of cleaning.” She couldn’t really argue with him on that. She got rid of some of her clothes that were ruined by the scent of smoke. She didn’t want to hurt her son’s sensitive nose because of it. He had more trained to hunt than she was. “I had my reasons. One being Alex. He really didn’t want to lose me to my smoking habit.” It was sometime after they lost his father that he asked her to stop.

Clearing his throat quickly and holding back a wince, Jeremy nodded his head just a touch. Really, it wasn’t like he hadn’t dealt with injuries before - in fact, getting badly hurt really wasn’t much of a surprise to him anymore - but a big hole in his shoulder was certainly not something he was happy about. Anything they could do to heal it up would help a thousand times over. “We’ll just… see what we can do, I guess. See what we can figure out for… it,” he muttered finally, giving a small nod of his head.

“Well, now they know what not to do.” Luke kept his tone light. Between the job and then this and the way she reacted to it, if he had to guess, his cousin might be a little nervous about the job. Or at least he would be if he was in her position. A yawn then escaped his lips. He gave Aiden an apologetic look. “Sorry. I think I need coffee. And breakfast. And I know breakfast was hours ago. But I just woke up like an hour ago.”

 “ You gotta be kidding– morning already, huh? I suppose I lost track of time… Thanks.”

“Sure, sweetie! We can walk, I need the exercise.” Piper joked. Her love of food and her distaste for exercising had caused her to put on weight in her age. But she was happy with the way she looked so it didn’t bother her too much. She was more focused on being able to spend time with her youngest daughter. 

“So, how’s the business going?” She liked to think, even though Aiden was closer to Leo, that she’d gotten her knack for business from Piper. 

Aiden nodded her head with a smile, signalling to Julio that she was heading out. She loved walking to places when she could. As much as she loved driving her truck, she tried to be Earth friendly too. Plus the day was beautiful and better spent outdoors than in a car. She shoved her hands in her pocket and walked alongside her mom.

     Charlie folded his hands before him on the table, pulling on his fingers idly before he finally stilled them entirely. “You have a daughter?” he asked, then he remembered Jamie talking about her–a strange girl, biological daughter of the demon also involved in his son’s life. “That would be Kat, right? Jamie talks about her a lot. He’s pretty taken with her. Them–Kat and Lucy.” 

     He gave a little smile, observing how she fidgeted, the nervous kind of energy he disliked. He wished it wasn’t so. This anxiety was the last thing he wanted. This situation was already awkward enough. 

      Charlie cleared his throat. “There’s nothing wrong with having growing room, especially with a dog and a child in the mix. It’s almost a requirement for a young family.” 

     He caught the sadness in her eyes–how could he not?

     “It was only ever meant for me and her,” he clarified, wanting to note that Jamie staying there was only temporary–whether or not he chose to stay in town or not. He was hoping he would, for his sake, and for Aiden and whatever family unit they seemed to have begun in their relationship, a family unit that was currently on the rocks. 

     And Charlie didn’t want that. Not for himself, and certainly not for any of his children.

     “Ah, no. He doesn’t. I wanted to talk to you.” He began to toy with his fingers again, unable to keep still. “And I know it’s not my place but…” and there he faltered, unsure just how to go on, fearing he may have already overstepped bounds.

    “Well, she’s not biologically mine. But it feels like she is. First time I met her, I wanted to keep her. You should have seen her first experience with toys.” Ever since that day she wanted to keep that little girl. she wanted to protect her and love her. She smiled softly at the mention of Kat and Jamie. She nodded her head, trying to not get teary eye. “yeah, they are two peas in a pod. She is tied to his hip when he’s around.”

      She was also being nice to her and Dylan again. Sure they didn’t see Jamie as much as they wanted. But she got her daughter back. She let out a soft breath as she heard Lucy continuing to play around.

       “I didn’t think so. That’s why I had the extra space. Enough for us to have multiple doors and a room for Jamie to record in. We even have a cat. she doesn’t like Lucy very much though.”

      Least not when she was in her playful mood.

      She nodded her head at his words, taking another look around. “Still its probably good to have the company.” She knew that her parents were always happy to see her especially when she shut them all out after Josh died. She could only imagine how things were with Jamie around. 

     Merlin, she missed having him at home.

      She understood why he might want to talk. She wasn’t sure what Jamie had told him about their situation. It wasn’t a secret among people. Even Julio and Andy had asked her about it. Mason too when she had to stop him from hurting Ed.

      “You’re concerned for your son. Even if its not your place, you have a reason to ask questions.”

Oh, and Aleera had no intention of letting her build up the necessary resolve. She hummed sweetly at the touch of Aiden’s fingers, shifting her body in response, softly biting the flesh her her neck as her thumb and forefinger tweaked a nipple. “You’re calling in sick…” she purred, before running her tongue up the length of her neck and sucking on her jawline.

hadley smiled gently, letting aiden comfort her. it was nice, even if she was overdue, her break long past over but no one would notice since her work was pretty much done for the day. she placed her hand over her girlfriend’s leaning her head slightly into aiden’s palm. 

it was the first time they’d mentioned kids. both came from big families but hadley hadn’t expressed just how much having kids meant to her and she wanted aiden to be the one she had them with. time was short and hadley wanted to start having kids before her thirty seventh birthday. at least one before she was deemed ‘too old’ to have more. she loved the park, loved working there, but raising kids around dinosaurs wasn’t something she wanted to do. it wasn’t safe, it wasn’t practical, and it wasn’t what she wanted for her life. 

the blonde ran her hand through her hair. “are you sure that’s what you want aiden? this… this is our life, this has been my whole life since i was seventeen. you say it like it’s so easy for us to just… leave.” she wanted it to be that easy. for them to just pack their things, never look back. but it was hard letting go of a dream she’d wanted since she was a child, old enough to learn about dinosaurs and dream of one day getting to help them.

Aiden smiled back at her girlfriend, happy that she could provide some comfort. She knew it wasn’t easy to work the long hours that they did. They hardly had time for each other. While Hadley could easily get the time off, she didn’t have that luxury being the head engineer of the park.

The mention of kids caused her heart to soar. She had hoped that was what her girlfriend wanted too. She wanted children with her. One or two, maybe even three. But to raise them here? That was crazy talk. She couldn’t imagine putting their children in that sort of danger. They would live in constant fear over the possibilities that the dinosaurs would escape and cause all sorts of havoc around the island. She was completely fine with leaving the island if they had to. She wanted that future with Hadley, no one else.
