Josie waited with Dale and the twins going over the emergency numbers and to call her if anything went wrong. She trusted her son but she knew the twins were a handful and when it wasn't in the safe confines of their home she worried. Also even after all these years she still worried about Dale. She smiled as she saw Toby and his siblings show up. She gave the twins both a kiss on their foreheads, and much to Dale's dismay she gave him one as well as she made her way to the cafe where she would be meeting Ari.
Ari was the only person who really stood by her through everything when she was pregnant with Dale. Sure she had her brothers, but JJ has school and a social life and Jacen and her were still somewhat strained. Ariella seemed to completely understand and was there for her whenever she needed her. Also any questions she happily answered. Now Josie knew how religious Ari was and knew that the idea of having premarital sex and having a child out of wedlock didn't sit well with her. But she was such a sweet woman she never let that show. The two remained somewhat close with alternating babysitting and Toby and Dale still being friends after all these years.
She entered the cafe and glanced around spotting Ari. Josie gave a wave and got a strawberry smoothie before making her way over to the woman. She gave Ari a hug,
"It's wonderful to see you, I just got seven new patients, that's why last week didn't work. Also thank you so much for watching Dale this past weekend. Adrian and I really appreciate it. So, what did you want to talk about...I sensed it was something serious."
