Coffee and Conversation Who: Meeghan and Josie Where: Chloe's Sugar Shack When: June 1st, Afternoon
Josie was sitting at a table, sipping at some over sugared concoction that she had already forgotten the name of. She was 'letting' Isabella help her out a little with money now, so she wasn't quite in the destitute situation that she had been before. However, she was seriously thinking of relocating, though. It felt really strange to be here with her much younger and slightly more sane parents. She wasn't sure that she could handle it. Since she had no real urge to go back to where she came from (and she didn't know just how impossible that really was), moving was her only option. She was gonna find a job before she moved, though, that was for damn sure. It would make her life so much easier if she did that. Of course, deciding where to move would also help.
Meeghan had only intended on briefly stopping into the coffee shop for a cup of regular coffee, which these days seemed to be what most people didn't want. The general population seemed to go for the flavored or iced coffees, something that Meegs just couldn't get herself to acquire a taste for. Her plan had been to get coffee and then head over to Full Moon Records to see if she could possible meet up with Brandon Bale to maybe continue the conversation they had a couple days back or maybe even get in a jam session to see how well their voices meshed together. Those plans all changed when the ebony haired singer spot her "daughter" as she was headed on her way out of the shop.
"Mind some company?" Meeghan asked after detouring over to Josie's table.
Josie nearly forgot where she was (or WHEN she was) and told Meeghan 'hell no,' but then remembered that in this reality, her parents her semi-sane. So, what the hell, eh? "Sure, knock yourself out," she said, looking up at Meeghan.
This all felt worlds of weird to Meeghan, having a daughter here in this reality who wasn't all that much younger then she was, but the singer took a seat opposite the girl and set her coffee down on the table. "You know I still can't quite wrap my head around all this," Meegs admitted with a light smile, "that I have a daughter. One you was born a year or two in the future, yet is sitting here in front of me almost an adult."
"Yeah, I guess it is kind of weird," Josie admitted. While Meeghan wasn't her biological anything, she was still there with Isabella as she had been raised. Of course, the only one in her 'circle of parents' that she had felt comfortable with was Giles, and she hadn't even had the guts to go and 'see' him in this place. Yeah, she had been a total chicken there. What of it? "I'm kind of here, though. So, what do you think of your future as it's kind of been played out?"
"Guess it's not as bad as it could be?" Meeghan told her. "Gotta be honest here and say never pictured myself being a mom type with a kid." Meeghan was still enjoying and appreciating the freedom she had by not being tied down by just one person. In this dimension it had been the cause behind her leaving L.A. and Isabella. She cared for the other woman, she did, it just wasn't in the same way Isabella had cared for her.
While her face remained neutral, inside Josie was laughing at the idea of Meeghan being the 'mom type.' She knew things had been better when she was younger, but apparently, by the time Josie reached her teens, Meeghan had hit some sort of middle aged rut and decided to solve it by sleeping with everything around her. Which was kind of why Josie had sort of become celibate to the point of being asexual. She didn't want any sort of relationship with anyone of that nature. "Well, that's what happened in my world," Josie said simply. "Who knows what will happen here, though."
"Who knows." Meeghan voiced with a slight shrug of her shoulders. She wasn't about to allow herself to ponder the what ifs, she'd just take each day as it came. And if that led to her, Isabella, and Josie becoming an actual family, then so be it. If it ended with the opposite outcome then Meeghan would accept that as well. The one thing she did kind of hope for was being able to get to know the future daughter she had never thought would of existed. "I at least would be willing to get to know you better." The ebony haired singer admitted, though she had the feeling that Josie might not be all that perceptive of the idea.
Josie sighed. "You know, it's kind of hard to look past all you did to IzMom, you know? However, I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt. Plus, this version of you didn't do that." Yet, in evil inner voice reminded her. "I'd like to get to know you as well."
"You got any plans for tonight?" Meegs asked her future!daughter. She wasn't sure how things would go as Josie seemed to have a preconception of her from the future time the girl had come from, but at least she was willing to give Meeghan a chance here.
Josie shook her head. The group of kids she had come in with with nice enough kids, but she wasn't as close to them as a couple of soon to be coming kids. "I'm free tonight. What's on your mind, Momma?" 'Momma' actually wasn't what she had ever called Meeghan, even in her most respectful moods, but it was kind of fun to watch the faces that they made when she did call her and Isabella stuff like that.
Meeghan made a face at that. While she may have not minded being called momma in her future life, she definitely wasn't liking it in present time. Especially when she was technically only a few short years older then her future!daughter.
"Thought we could just hang out at my place and talk. Get to know each other better. I know most kids," which included herself when she was Josie's age, "don't like hanging out with their parents, but I figure since this is a unique case we can make it a girls night in."
Josie thought on that for a second and nodded. "Well, it's not like we're THAT far apart in age right now, anyway," she pointed out. Besides, she probably should get to know her mother, right?
"Around seven?" Meegs suggested while locating a pen and some paper, which she scribbled her address down on before sliding the paper across the table top to Josie.
"Sure, seven sounds great," Josie said, taking the piece of paper. This could either be good for them or go really really badly. Josie hoped it wouldn't be too terrible.
"I'll see you then." Meeghan told her as she stood up from the table. She was hoping things would go well, or at least semi good. If the girl was going to stick around Meeghan wanted to at least try and establish a semi good relationship with her daughter.
