Who: Neely and Morgan, OT Rachelle and all family members
Where: Their Home
When: Early evening

While their home could be chaotic at times (especially with Sir Porgy McPorgington III now in attendance), sometimes... it could be peaceful as well. Neely had spent a good portion of the afternoon playing the piano. Something she had done since she was a child. After a while Morgan joined her, sitting beside her on the piano bench, singing occasionally. She had a surprisingly deep and resonant singing voice.

"You haven't played in a while," Morgan murmured once they'd finished another song.

"Guess things've been too busy," Neely replied with a lopsided smile. "Not that I'd change a minute of it."

Of course, it WOULD be Rachelle that broke the quiet, beautiful moment up, wouldn't it?

Walking into the room in purple pajamas and matching bathrobe, she held a drink in one hand and her phone (which she was angrily talking into) in the other.

"Look, Kenny. I don't give a good goddamn if he's a 500 pound Saurid! He's clogged the goddamn men's room toilet three times now! You tell him the next time he takes a fucking shit in The End Zone, he's not allowed back! Yes, Kenny, you DO have to be the one to tell him!"

	Poor Kenny. Always copping abuse from Rachelle. Neely shared a look with Morgan, then burst into a gigglefit. "Why must you torment that poor man! Kenny, we looooove you!" She sing-songed loudly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Have you seen a Saurid, Neels? They're big green reptile looking motherfuckers that are damn near the size of Andre The Giant. Do you have any idea what one of those bastards can do to a toilet? Yeah, Kenny, I'm still here. Tell his green ass NO MORE SHITTING IN MY BAR. Get it? Got it? Good."

She hung up, then immediately beamed a smile at her ladies, shuffling over to them.

"So, what're you bitches up to?"

She really was just a classy lady, wasn't she? Still. Both Neely and Morgan beamed at her and just... looked at her like the sun shone out of her ass.

Morgan reached for Rachelle's hand. "We were just playing some music together. We wanted to wait until you got home before we played a certain one though." She kissed Rachelle's palm, then gave her hand a squeeze. "I've always secretly wanted to serenade someone. Now I get to do it for both of you."

	Even Rachelle knew better than to make a wisecrack there. Morgan sometimes had a hard time truly opening up, so Rachelle wanted to make sure she felt properly rewarded emotionally when she did. "That sound you might've just heard? That was my heart beating faster. What've you got in mind, sweetheart?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Morgan blushed and suddenly found herself to be very nervous. "Okay, but seriously. This is the first time that I've sung in a long while, so no making fun." She shimmed out of her seat and Neely was quick to pull Rachelle down to replace her, smooching her temple lovingly. When she got the nod of approval Neely started to play the song, Bob Dylan's 'Make You Feel My Love', but with a very distinct Morgan twist.

Mogan stood to one side of the piano, looking at the pair, hands resting on her diaphragm as she started to sing.

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
Oh, I hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

She gave Rachelle a little shrug, remembering when they'd first gotten together and when they'd first drifted apart. It was only through Aubrey's intervention years later that she realized that she had a lot of love to give -- that she could, and soon did, love Neely as well.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue
And I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

She gave them a lopsided smile. When once she would have hidden the tears in her eyes, this time she didn't.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of this Earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

	"Oh, Morgan... you beautiful, beautiful woman." Rachelle said with a little bit of a swoon, walking right up to her and planting a huge, loving kiss on her. "Neely? How the fuck did we ever go as long without this woman as we did?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Stubbornness, maybe," Neely replied with a lopsided smile. She gave Rachelle and Morgan their moment before jumping up and practically tackling the pair. "Or just sheer stupidity." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, I'm leaning more toward the second one, myself." Chelle snorted, hugging both of them with everything she had in her. "You two are my entire heart and soul, you know that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I don't know about Mor, but I mighta had an inkling," Neely teased, nipping at Rachelle's lip playfully. Morgan wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, falling silent for a moment. This was a lot emotionally for her. (Reply to this) (Parent)
