Brooke's eyes went wide. Of course. Josie. She could see it now. It really was her. Brooke appeared to have just realized the presence of the three other children with her. Only Josie could have possibly given birth to the chaos twins over there. The older one though, that one had to have been Dale. Sure enough, there it was. Be nice, Brooke. You're in front of your son. She smiled at Josie and allowed herself to giggle. "Oh WOW! So it is you. It's nice to see you again. I'd get up, but, heh--" She pointed down at Rufus on her lap and shrugged. There was no prying him off of her not even if they came in there with the jaws of life. She had to admit she was actually kind of glad for his clinging though.
"Yes, I heard that you got married. I'm still a cyber geek, you know." The term hacker was reserved for the more underground sector of her work. "I'm not. Married, that is." She waved around her ring-less hand and shrugged. She wasn't too hung up on it. She would have liked for Rufus to have a normal family with a mother and a father, but sometimes normal didn't always work for everyone. Somehow, this worked for them.
"Hi Dale, it's nice to see you again. Fuss-Fuss, say hi, babes." Rufus was still only half peeking out of his mother's jacket. "You know, your ice cream is going to melt over there. Think you can slide that over for us there, Jo-Jo?"
