OLIVER

It's late and I know you're probably in bed as that's where I'm about to go myself, but I just wanted to let you know that it went fairly well. I got the information that I needed, plus some I wasn't expecting but I suppose that's the way of it with these sorts of things.

[...] Anyway. I'll see you tomorrow. Love you tons.

WHO: Maia Sparks and NPC!Lilly Eriksson
WHEN: Afternoon of November 9
WHERE: The restaurant of a hotel in Lakeland, FL
SUMMARY: Maia meets her birth mother and gets some revelations.
WARNINGS: Discussion of teenage pregnancy, adoption
 
( Maia returned Lilly's nervous smile with one of her own, hesitating as she tried to decide what to do next. Should she hug her? That felt too familiar. Shake her hand? No, this wasn't a business meeting. )

WHO: Maia Sparks and Wyatt Wentworth (+ Inara Serra and Malcolm Reynolds)
WHEN: Early afternoon of November 9
WHERE: Their room in a hotel in Lakeland, FL
SUMMARY: While prepping for Maia to meet her birth mother, she and Wyatt find out that they're sharing dreams.
WARNINGS: Just, you know, all the UST
 
( If she knew Serenity and Mal, then he wasn't completely alone in this. That realization sent a wave of emotion crashing through him. The whole situation was still new and terrifying, but if there was anyone who could make it seem less overwhelming, it was her. )

Halloween is usually our craziest night of the year, and this one was no different. But next year is supposed to be a Saturday, full moon and the clocks go back?

Is it too early to plan a vacation for that week? Because I'm filled with dread. If the high school plans their homecoming for that day, let me know and I can full on train to be Buffy.

It's National Daughters Day! So I want you to use this post to gush about your daughters (furkids welcome!) however you'd like. 😊 No matter how big or small, I want all the stories and photos you want to post.

And, ladies, you're daughters, too, so I'm absolutely here for sprinkling some love for yourselves here, as well.

Happy National Daughters Day! ❤️

This weekend is my first that is completely free of any sort of party or wedding business since June and my god, does that feel good.

WYATT

Hey. I've been thinking about everything with my biological mother and I'm pretty certain that I'm going to go down to Florida and actually meet her. I'm not sure if it's the right thing, but I haven't decided on a day or weekend to do it just yet, but I thought that I would check with you and see if you have anything going on that I should avoid scheduling around, since I'm assuming you'll take Kylie? My mom would obviously take her if it doesn't work out, but I know that I don't want to take her down there with me. The first time Kylie goes to Florida should be for Disney or to see manatees and dolphins off the coast, not this.

We're almost through wedding season, but that doesn't meant you can't plan during the "off" parts of the year. If you have nuptials in your future or just want to plan a great party, hit us up at Enchanted Events.

(Look at that expert advertising.)

OLIVER

Hey, there's something I wanted to talk to you about, but I wanted to do it when we didn't have kids around. I just haven't talked to Kylie about it yet.

While you guys were honeymooning, I got information back from that agency I was working with to unseal my adoption files. I was actually able to use the info to track down my birth mother and she responded to me. I thought I could just get info from her, but she wants to meet and I'm considering doing it. I'd have to go down to Florida, though. What do you think?

WYATT

Can I talk to you about something?

And before that sentence inspires any worry, it has nothing to do with you or Kylie. I just need to talk something through with someone and with Oliver on his honeymoon, I thought I'd see if you'd be willing to be that someone.

TEXTS TO MAIA

-- Hey, sorry to bother you so late.
-- Do you happen to remember the name of that one movie we watched with the guy?

For the first time in years, I went to the grocery alone and did you know that it's not only possible to finish the entire trip in less than two hours, but you can also actually get through the checkout without having to return a dozen random things from the store to the cashier? Because I didn't know this, and I have to say a huge thank you to my the girls' dad for spending the day with them while I discovered this whole new majestic world of running errands.

TOBIAS

Want me to bring dinner with me when I pick up Emi and Hana? Also, someone else is sharing my dreams, if you didn't already see it. He's

ZOYA

I have to tell you something semi-important.

Hello there, Dunhaven. I was sent access to this network absolutely eons ago and figured it was about time I saw what I was missing out on. Given just how bad I am at checking my Facebook more than once or twice a week (which I understand is a skill I shouldn't be too put out by, if the clickbait articles describing my generation are to be trusted), it probably shouldn't be too shocking that it's taken me this long. But, here I am now!

So, again -- hello, Dunhaven. I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend so far! It was a pretty quiet Saturday over here, with the exception of a minor "huffing at Mom" incident when I asked someone to clean her room, but it is what it is. Peace was restored by dinnertime, possibly because I promised her an ice cream run for dessert. I should probably write a parenting book about bribery.
