Down in the mailroom Alec was busyily trying to figure out what to put in the card he'd gotten his mother for Mother's Day. He'd never missed a Mother's Day, even back then, and now for the first time his card was going to be late.

The only excuse he could come up with was "Sorry, Mom, but Ang is rather desperately trying to become a mom herself and obviously, I'm helping, and as a result I've been so distracted I can barely remember where I put my pants let alone any important holidays that may or may not be approaching," but somehow he didn't think was worded correctly.

To say the least.

Adam too was preparing for the weekend, but he was taking the less intrusive route and leaving it up to an online flower company. Same one he used every year.

He sat in the Mocha, sipping coffee, and scrolling through what the website had to offer on his laptop, looking for something nice in his mother's favorite flavor. Orchid.

Once or twice, he stopped a pretty passerby to ask their opinion simply because he couldn't help himself.

Having no mother to speak of, Jazz was not hurrying about trying to come up with a token of gratitude and affection to present her parentage. No, rather she was lounging poolside and worrying about nothing more than whether to get pepproni or sausage on her pizza tonight.

	Emma was taking a break from Studying, and had headed to the Mocha for a large hot chocolate and some muffins. "Those are pretty," she said from behind Adam, "Who you buying for? Cos I mean, personally I prefer pot plants, and other kinds at that, they don't die quite as fast?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, Hi, Emma," he smiled over his shoulder. "They're for my mom. For Mother's Day. She loves Orchids." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh they are beautiful, but, are they cut ones or potted? I can never tell, and well, my mum used to like them, but she couldn't keep them alive either way." Emma smiled a little sadly, "Still, I'm sure she'll appreciate them regardless."

She sipped at her hot chocolate, "I still can't get over the fact that Mother's Day is over a month later here than it is back in the UK, it's confusing!"

"Oh yes, in a lot of ways." Emma smirked, "But not all of them are good, or necessary, and some of them are just downright daft, but, hey, I live here now so I'm trying to adapt. If I can ever get the hang of the bonnet/hood/trunk/boot thing I think I'll be fine."

She chuckled and set the plate of muffins down on the table, shifting her chocolate to the other hand. "Er, mind if I sit down for a bit?"

	"Thanks," Emma sat down and picked up a muffin. "How's you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, I'm alright." He scrolled down the page, bookmarking a couple of possible arrangements. "How about you? Haven't seen you about much lately." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I've been hitting the books pretty hard, I finish High School this year, and I got into college for this fall." Emma shrugged, "I still say it's worth it, even if I am advancing a year. I mean, I live on my own in my apartment, I have my dog, my car, my job at the gallery, I can manage college, the hours are probably way better than High School's for a start!"

She grinned, "Plus my boyfriend starts Rutherford this fall too, so it's good to have someone I know there already."

	"Wow," he blinked. "That's impressive." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks," Emma grinned and then broke off some muffin, "I know Ang and Alec have their reservations, but, it's what I want to do and I've worked bloody damn hard for it. I plan on enjoying it, right from day one." She popped the muffin into her mouth, chewing and swallowing neatly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I enjoyed it," he told her. "Some of the best times I ever had." "Then again," his brow furrowed. "I wouldn't exactly call what I did 'college' either." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2008-05-08 03:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh? What did you do that wasn't quite college then?" Emma snickered, "I don't think Boot Camp sounds at all fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A training school," he replied. "Gives you a leg up in the ranks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh? Kind of like a high intensity summer school? I still have to get through that this year, but, that's college foundation courses mostly. The kind seniors do?" Emma sipped at her chocolate, "At least I'll have company for that stretch. Amos will be with me, and a bunch of other seniors of course." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sort of," he allowed. "But it lasts more than a couple of months unfortunately." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Thankfully, Rutherford's is shorter, gives me some time to relax before classes start in the fall. I'm on the Arts Programme, so I have to buy and make sure I can use a lot of kit, start on my portfolio, and get some new clothes!" Emma laughed, "Of course, I have a birthday in there somewhere, and well, it's a biggie. Back in the UK I would be a legal Adult, all responsible and everything, off to Uni and out on my own."

She broke off some more muffin, and snickered naughtily, "I think I like getting head starts."

	"Ooo," he grinned. "Guess that means I'll have to start shopping for a gift won't I?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oooh, now what should the attractive single older man buy for an eighteen year old girl that won't go arousing suspicions?" Emma grinned and sipped at her chocolate, eyeing Adam over the mug. "I have no idea, but, you know what? Let them get suspicious, so long as we know there's nothing untoward going on we're fine right?"

She chuckled, and popped another piece of muffin into her mouth.
