big brother;

Adam Pike. 34. Single. Straight. Brother. Uncle. Unemployed.“I never had a conversation with her so I can’t comment.”

“Oh yeah, kids are great.” Adam slipped off his sunglass and moved to sit down on the bench. // @secretsummerstarters​

“Thanks..” She smiled at him softly. “You’re a lifesaver.” Lacey said, before she shrugged. Yes, there was a lot on her mind including Alfie but right now she was worrying about her cousin and Kane. “I know… it’s nothing really, or… it’s not my business really, but Ali’s.. started seeing Kane and I can’t help but have a bad feeling about it.” He’d probably understand her apprehension of Kane, right?

“You’re welcome.” He smiled back at her in that moment. “I try my best.” Adam could sense there was something on her mind. Or maybe it was because they were spending a lot of time together. Hell it might have even been because he liked her for more than a friend. Her next statement threw him off. “What? No. That is just--it’s a bad idea and I feel like we need to stop it.” Kane was a piece of shit in his eyes and always would be.

Lacey sighed, staring down at her fingernails as she picked her nail varnish. She was lost in thoughts and was just glad that Elena was sleeping. She almost didn’t even hear Adam walk back into the room, she was that absorbed in her nails, but she eventually lifted her gaze to him. “Hm? Sorry, did you say something?”

[adam-pike]

“Just said she is all tucked in now.” Adam stated, moving to sit down next to Lacey. Something seemed to be on her mind. Maybe it was Trevor or maybe it was Alfie. “Everything okay?” He questioned, looking over at her for a moment. “Ya know, you can talk to me. I’m here.”

[adam-pike]

lacey--dixon​:

“They probably will.” She agreed, smiling at him before she glanced after the kids. “I’m definitely not going back in there so you’re on your own.”

Adam sighed a little bit, before looking over at Lacey. “Well right now I think they are occupied so I am okay with that.” He chuckled some. “Shall we go and see what they are up to?”

[lacey--dixon]

( @secretsummerstarters​ ) “Okay, that was the worst maze I’ve ever been in.” She stated, trailing out of the Christmas tree maze with Elena rushing ahead of her giggling. At least the kid had fun, she supposed.

[adam-pike]

“Note to self but I’m sure that the kids will make me go in there with them.” He watched them as they rushed after Elena.

[adam-pike]

You won't be enough for Lacey. -A

[adam-pike]

lacey--dixon​:

Lacey looked up at him, a little surprised because she wasn’t expecting it in the slightest. Though a smile soon spread over her face and she chuckled. “Really?” She nodded. “That sounds… amazing. Of course I’ll go out with you.”

Adam nodded his head. “Yes, really.” He couldn’t help but smile when he heard her answer. “Yeah? How does tomorrow night sound? After trick or treating. I’ve gotta take out the kids. Maybe we actually could go all together if you want.”

[adam-pike]

@lacey--dixon​

“So I was thinking that you and I should go out on an actual date.” Adam said this, as he moved over to her. “What do you say? Will you go out with me?” He questioned, smiling over at her.

[adam-pike]

dakotaxpike​:

She smiled lightly. At least it was only Adam and not someone who’d get upset about it but still. “Right? Am I really that bad?” Dakota joked, giving him a tiny nudge.

He smiled as well. Glad to see them, even though he wanted to see Lacey. “Seems like he’s wants to be with his uncle instead. Total more cooler then mom, huh?”

[dakotaxpike]

“Luke, please slow down!” Dakota called out in exasperation as the boy ran excitedly around the carnival. She knew he was just having fun but she was always scared he’d disappear. Pushing the pram, she kept a close eye on him, until he ran right into someone and she picked up speed. “God, I’m so sorry.” She sighed, moving to grab Luke gently. “You okay? Say you’re sorry, buddy..”

[adam-pike]

Adam felt the little body run into him, and that was when he turned and seen Luke. “What are you doing, little man?” He chuckled lightly. “You don’t need to run away from your mum like that.”

[adam-pike]

stellaxpd​:

“You most certainly can.” Stella chuckled. Of course she wasn’t gonna pass that offer up.

“What will it be?” He questioned, looking down at her.

[adam-pike]

rosielaughlin​:

“I’ll take a coffee right now. Definitely could use a wake up call right now.” 

“Got it. Coffee coming right up.” Adam flagged down the bartender. “Coffee for her and a refill for me.”

[adam-pike]

sofiecarter​:

“If you promise it’ll be a double.” Sofie sighed, looking up from the straw she’d been playing with.

“Double it is.” Adam ordered them both a drink, smiling over at her for a moment. He had seen her at the park before with Daniel Ford. “You’re Daniel’s nanny right?”

[adam-pike]

"Hey, can I buy you drink?" Adam asked the person next to him. Being sociable wasn’t really his thing but he was trying. And plus he was thinking about getting a job but that would mean they would have to get some full time sitter for the kids. // @secretsummerstarters​

[adam-pike]

lacey--dixon​:

Lacey couldn’t imagine more than just Elena so God knows how they coped with all the kids, but they were cute so that made up for it or something. “I’ll bet.” She said, closing the door once they were all inside and fussing over Ellie for a moment before following in the direction of the kids. “You want anything to drink?” She peered into the room, Luke was involved with Elena’s colouring and James was trying to involve himself but he was still little. “James is getting big so fast.” She commented, turning her attention back to Adam. It felt better to not be by herself.

“Probably juice for the kids and me I’ll just take whatever you have.” It had been rough. Not just with Lucas and James but now they had Ellie to worry about as well. And truthfully it wasn’t the easiest thing but they managed. Luckily. Even though Adam had thought about getting a job. That would also put them in a bind though. Looking over at Lucas and Elena and James, he couldn’t help but smile. “That he is. I just hope he isn’t like Kane when he grows up.” His attention went back to Lacey. “Elena is getting big as well.”

[adam-pike]

dakotaxpike​:

“The worst.” She joked. Adam was nothing of the sort. She was getting pretty fond of little Ellie honestly, even if she was still super pissed at their so-called mother. “Alright, well have fun whatever you decide.” Dakota told him. “Stay out of trouble yourself, big bro.” She teased with a little chuckle as she moved to the door and grabbed her bag. “Call me if you need me, I’ll come right back!”

“Completely.” Adam agreed, with a small chuckle. He was doing his best to be there even for little Ellie. Sometimes he thought about going back on his meds but how the hell would that help? They needed like a full time nanny if Adam ever got a job. “Shots and drugs is what we are leaning towards. Huh, Ellie?” Adam couldn’t help but chuckle again. Moments like this was something he loved. “Always.” Trouble wasn’t something he got into often. “No. Go off and have fun. I’ve got this. So no calling. Hell stay out all night.”

[lacey--dixon]

@adam-pike​

Lacey had been having a very bad weekend. She’d cried almost every day though she was doing her best to reign it in around Elena because she noticed how down Lacey was right now and she hated making Elena worry like that. Today though, she’d brightened up a little bit and was feeling a bit more human, and the nightmares hadn’t come last night. “You wanna colour?” She asked, before she heard the door and hurried over to open up, noticing Adam. “Oh, hey!” She grinned, moving aside to let him in as she remembered that he said he was coming over with the kids. “I bet Dakota is happy to have some time to herself, huh?” She smiled, ruffling Luke’s hair. “Elena’s over at the table, bud.”

[adam-pike]

Adam had his hand full with the all of the kids, but he had promised Dakota the time off and plus she needed it. So he didn’t mind this at all despite them being a handful. When he got to Lacey’s, he raised his hand and knocked on the door and waited for her to answer. “Ready to see Elena, buddy?” He asked, as he looked down at Lucas for a moment who nodded his head and smiled. When the door opened, Adam smiled back over at Lacey. “Hey, yourself.” His smile turned into a small grin as Lucas ran inside after Lacey ruffled his hair. “Thanks.” James followed after him. “She totally is even if the three of them are driving me crazy.” He chuckled lightly, as he moved inside.
