Texts to Lyllianna sometime after that

» Happy birthday, Lyl

So it's official. We're halfway there because twins are considered full term earlier than singletons. It's scary as hell, but exciting at the same time. Fetal anatomy scans soon. Before long we'll know whether we're having mermaids or dragons, and I'm super excited to find out.

P.S. I will literally pay someone to deliver me a large hot chocolate from Java Chip. (It's not coffee, Nina!) And a giant banana blueberry muffin. And jalapeno poppers from Grandma's. There's an extra tip in it for you if you don't judge me.

Well, Aleida and I received an early Christmas surprise yesterday...



[Immediate family and possibly certain friends (of Alee's lol) would've been told before this announcement]

FILTERED TO LYLLIANNA, QUINCY, AND ALEX

You three are some of my closest friends, so I wanted to make the announcement to you first before the news becomes public. Alee and I are expecting a child. She's due in early July.

ALEX ONLY

This is unrelated, but I have a project I've been meaning to discuss with you, but I haven't wanted to distract from your nuptials.

ALEE

I have a question for you, pretty girl. I could just ask you, but Oren fell asleep on me and I don't want to wake him to come up to you yet.

WHO: Aleida Grant and Lennox Archer
WHEN: November 14th
WHERE: Lennox’s Cabin
SUMMARY: Alee has something life-changing to tell Lennox
WARNINGS: Pregnancy, mentions of intimacy, but nothing graphic.

TEXTS TO LYLLIANNA STONE

» Well
» Alee was listening to us in the stable
» So that was fantastic
» I had to convince her that I was not two-timing or planning to and that you were not my accomplice
» I'm also fairly certain that there was a minute where she had to talk herself out of shooting me

WHO: Lennox Archer and Aleida Grant. Brief cameo by their usual sidekick, Lyllianna Stone.
WHEN: Monday, November 6th, afternoon.
WHERE: Northwind Stables, then Camp Sylvester Archery Range.
SUMMARY: Alee finds out about Nina, makes some serious assumptions, and it leads to a very serious talk and some startling realizations.
WARNINGS: Lots of feels. Improper weapons and vehicle safety.
PROMPT: 💔

( She’d never suffered a broken heart quite like this before. )

LENNOX ARCHER:

I had thought to call, but I forgot to ask for your number from Nina, so I hope this works instead. I was wondering if you'd like to get a drink sometime? Or a cup of tea or coffee, if you'd prefer that.

Apparently my body just knows it's a year older, therefore the hangovers have to be amplified. Or maybe it's just because I think I drank exactly zero water last night and tequila was involved. The world may never know.

Regardless, thanks for a fun night out, all who were involved. Do know that I am blaming you all for the state that my head is currently in, though. I am innocent in all of this. Had I just stuck to vodka like the good little Russian I'm meant to be, none of this would have happened.

WHO: Lennox Archer, Aleida Grant
WHEN: October 20, 5pm and on
WHERE: Her place → Restaurant in DC
SUMMARY: Dinner date time. ~Fancy~ pants.
WARNINGS: At one point there's mention of minor sexual behavior when stuck in traffic, but it's a skimmed over summary. Otherwise, pretty tame.

( It felt silly to be this wary with her, considering all the intimacy they'd shared, but this was a request of an entirely different sort. )

WHO: Lennox Archer, Alee Grant
WHEN: Wednesday, October 18, midday
WHERE: Shopping in DC
SUMMARY: Lennox takes Alee shopping, and they both learn some lessons about being in a relationship with someone who comes from a different socioeconomic background.
WARNINGS: Most of the NSFW bits have been faded/removed, but implied foreplay.

( It's not about the money for me and you don't owe me anything. )

[ALEIDA GRANT]

When was I supposed to message
I'm sorry it's been a couple days
I wasn't sure

How are you doing?

Somehow, it never occurred to me yet to actually ask for your phone number.
