Diana smiled. “The burger? I always feel like that is the safest option to be honest with you.” She said, as it was usually the thing she went for whenever she ended up eating somewhere new. “Seven is a nice age.” Diana said. “and yes, that is understandable. I am not judging you at all.” She added. “I have been in Atlanta for about a year now? But I work pretty weird hours, and its been a lot as well so time has flown by and I haven’t gotten too familiar with the city yet.” She admitted. “How about yourself?”

Casey nodded, “It’s one of the best things to try at a new place, in my opinion. But they really are very good here.” he assured her, “It is, Abby’s really a lot of fun now. I love watching her learn things, figure things out..” he said with a small smile. “I understand that, I’ve been here a little less then a year myself, but I’ve been busy settling Abby in and getting my bakery off the ground.”

although kasper couldn’t relate to being in care he could see the way the male reacted , and he huffed a chuckle at the realisation that , hey , maybe he was going soft after all . when he engaged in some of his more illegal transactions the male would hack into trust funds of the rich and redistribute , a lot of the times dumping large sums of money onto the gofundme pages of kids in need just like casey once was . “ well , he sure seems like a cool as hell guy with a name like that . dashingly handsome too , i bet , with curls that sat like corkscrews atop his head ?? “ the words were halfway teasing , but it was his attempt at offering friendship . 

He laughed at the others words, shaking his head in amusement, “Well, if I remember correctly, he was about six, with pretty straight hair ... but he was kind of a fun kid.” he shared. Sometimes it was strange to think of how young he and his foster siblings had been, some of them right at Abby’s age now or younger. It didn’t seem right that kids that young had to deal with things like that. “Well, then, clearly if I’m taking recommendations based on name associations, you’ve passed the test there.” he said with a smile, “Just to let you know though, if you are working here ... I’ve got my daughter, Abby, at the bakery a lot. Usually she’s watching movies in the back room or helping me decorate cookies, but it’s just the two of us so there isn’t always someone else to watch her, especially in the summer.”

                SCARLETT LOOKED AT THE male, that helped her up, and she was without manners to grab her things, not when a baby was tied on her body, and the other hand held bags. ❛ Thank you...  ❜ She says finally looking up at the male. She chuckled. ❛ I bet she must be adorable. And this is Penelope. I am Scarlett. ❜ Penelope, looked at the Casey, while chewing her tiny fist, drooling a bit. ❛ She’s 7 months old. ❜

Casey smiled as he finished gathering up what she had dropped. “She is, and a little easier to handle in public now.” he said before grinning at the infant, “Well, hello Miss Penelope. You’re definitely adorable too, and it is very nice to meet you.” he told her before turning his attention back to her mother, “I loved that age, watching Abby really start to figure things out and learn to move around was so much fun.”

“Really. I think I saw it at Home Depot or something? I just know that I was entirely too tempted to buy it at my age. My older brother talked me down, though, so everyone say thank you to him.” She couldn’t help but giggle, tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear. “Does that mean I get a cupcake?”

“I definitely have to look, because that would save me so much cleaning. And you really can never actually clean loose glitter.” he said, shaking his head as he thought about the poor carpet in Abby’s bedroom. “I think that tip definitely deserves a free cupcake, yes. What kind do you want?”

alexisrhodesxo​:

Alexis couldn’t contain her excitement-she was so happy that he was gong to be her taste-tester. “A desert, a duck dish and maybe another dessert if my niece keeps smashing her hands in it.” she hoped. Because keeping her niece far away from cake or anything smashy has been a job in itself. 

“Oh, that sounds really good.” Casey said, “I remember trying to cook with Abby ‘helping’ when she was little, it always made things interesting. At least if she wants to help now she has enough experience to ... well, mostly not make a huge mess.” he said with a small laugh.

[casey-j-williams]

alexisrhodesxo​:

She nodded. She had to agree with that before laughing. “I know I have to do that soon with my niece. She’s getting into chocolate and whatever else I can make, and trying to get her to eat vegetables will be a challenge.’ Alexis said thoughtfully, shaking her head.

Casey laughed, “Abby isn’t always that bad about refusing, but she does complain.” he said, “I’m pretty sure if it was up to her she would eat nothing but chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and cookies.” he added.

Oliver had known for some time now that he needed to purchase a new camera bag. He was still using the same one he’d been gifted when he first started working at the Post and, not only did he carry twice the equipment he had then, but the bag was becoming incredibly threadbare. However, stubborn with nostaliga, Oliver had refused. Which had gotten him where he was now, the bottom of his bag having ripped out and all of his camera equipment sprawled onto the street, him squatted down beside it examining each piece for damage as he shoved them all in a plastic grocery bag he’d found in a nearby trash can. He noticed on the of his SD cards had bounced a foot or so away, just as someone was walking in it’s line. “Wait!” he exclaimed, reaching to rescue the card, before looking up at the stranger.

“Sorry, that was a bit overdramatic. I just…this little shit has stuff that can’t be stepped on on it.” he held up the card, checking it before tossing it in the bag. “I really need some caution tape to wrap around myself while I get this messed cleaned up, huh?”

Casey had been on his way to the store when he heard the exclamation and looked down to see the situation. He quickly knelt down to help, handing the man a few other objects around him. “It’s okay, my brother’s into the photography thing too, so I get how important all this is.” he explained. He didn’t exactly understand how most of it worked, but he had a vague idea of the cost and the basics of it all. “Things like this always have to happen in the most inconvenient places. I dropped a huge back of school supplies for my daughter on a subway once.”

                SCARLETT WAS WITH HER NOW 7 months old daughter, on the baby sling tied around her body, while she grabbed a bag full of groceries for the next two weeks. —–  Penelope, looked around the world with curiosity chewing her tiny, hand. For a miracle, the Penny was quiet the blonde was paying attention to her infant distracted for a moment to her good mood. —- On the sidewalk, she felt a bump into her shoulder making her drog one of the recycle bags, with her groceries on the floor. ❛  Shit!! ❜

@atlanta-rpgstarters​

Casey saw the situation and quickly stepped up, “It’s alright, I’ve got it.” he assured the woman as he knelt down to pick the groceries up. “I’ve got a seven year old, I remember the days when she was that little. I swear I dropped everything when it was just me and her out somewhere.”

( ☆  open starter . @atlanta-rpgstarters​

the outside world was something that jaden had mostly forgotten about . it was so far away from what he was used to , four plain white walls and fluorescent overhead hospital lighting , strung up to more machines than he could even count like some complex lab experiment . there were still a few weeks left until he was healed enough to fit a prosthetic but right now he was damn sick of being cooped up inside , and so with both trusty crutches at his side he took the rather slow and clumsy descent to the park just across from their new apartment home . a vacant bench looked perfect to just sit , but it didn’t take long for the male to begin to feel uncomfortable with the children staring and parents hurrying their kids along so they didn’t have to stare at the injured boy any more . an empty leg of his sweatpants hid most of the stump , although fabric was bunched up and tied in a knot just below his knee where he’d lost the remainder of his limb . for someone who wasn’t used to it he could imagine the sight was rather uncomfortable , it was bad enough for him and he owned the thing . glancing upwards once he noticed a shadow hover over him , one arm snaked back through the loop of his cane in an attempt to resume standing . “ sorry – i should probably be getting back anyway . i know my girlfriend is gonna go nuts if she comes home and i’m not in bed but it was too nice of a day not to enjoy the sun for a little while , “

Casey had been cutting through the park on his way to work when he noticed the people staring at a young man sitting on a bench and he couldn’t help the little bit of righteous anger that went through him. Didn’t people have any manners anymore? As people rushed away from the other man, Casey made up his mind and marched over to him. “No, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. I just wanted to ask if you’d rather sit in my bakery?” he offered, “It’s just across the street, and I promise it’s a lot cooler in there then out here. And you can still people-watch out the window.” he added quickly. He wanted to do something to help, and he figured he didn’t know the man enough to make a scene and tell off the rude people in the park.

“I know this sounds very odd coming from me, but I need a taste-tester,” Alexis told them. “I just need someone to try a couple things for my new cookbook, and then everything’s going to be fine, and my editor and book agent can quit asking me about it so I can send in the pages and be done with it so I can finally go on this bloody book tour.” she grumbled out the last part before sighing. “So can you help me? Please?” @atlanta-rpgstarters​

Casey couldn’t help but laugh softly at the request, “Not a problem, just promise that you’ll return the favor next time I have new flavors and need the opinion of someone other then a seven year old.” he told her with a grin. “Honestly, I’m excited to get a sneak peak. So, what is it that I need to try?”

avery sighed as he walked into the pizza place, leaving campus was always great but with the amount of work he had to grade and go over, he was just trying to get home and relax. he did decide that he needed food and not wanting to cook was his biggest motivator, he decide to head to a local pizza joint to grab some before he headed home and that’s here he was now, humming through the menu as he accidentally bumped into someone. “Oh, sorry… I got distracted by all the pizza.”

Casey smiled, “It’s not a problem.” he assured the other man, “I was just checking on my daughter.” he explained, nodding at a nearby table with two small children sitting there. “I brought her out for pizza tonight but it turns out that apparently seven and a half is when it’s way more fun to eat with friends from school then your dad.” he explained. The other girl’s parents seemed okay with it, so he was resigned to eating alone and letting Abby have her fun.

Diana gave him a small nod, before she pulled the empty chair out and took a seat. She quickly grabbed the drinks menu and began reading it. “It does? Anything you’d recommend?” She asked him, putting the drinks menu down as the sound of food sounded even better right now, especially if it was as tasty as he was making it out to be. “That is sweet! How old is she?” She asked him out of curiosity. “Nice to meet you, I am Diana.”

Casey gave a small shrug, “Everything I’ve tried is good, but honestly, I usually get a burger.” he told her. He didn’t tend to get too fancy on the late nights when he just needed to eat something he had baked before getting home. “Abby’s seven, and she’s great, but sometimes it is still nice to have a night to myself.” he told her, “It’s good to meet you. Are you new in town?”

[casey-j-williams]

hillie-young​:

“That was a very smart idea. I wish I would have thought of opening up a bakery just to bring my kid with me,” Hillie joked. Really she knew there was no way she would ever open a business of her own. That was too much work. “Really? Thanks. I have a few friends that watch her for me but they’re usually only able to do it when I work overnight. The days that I work during the day I’m screwed. She’s at that age where she thinks she’s too big for a babysitter but I know she’s not.”

Casey laughed, “Well, I supposed not everyone can have all the good ideas at once.” he joked, “Yeah, we’re open during the day, so if I’ve got Abby you could even let her think she’s helping me out by watching her. Tell her she’ll get paid in cookies.” he offered. He still remembered what it was like to be old enough to think you could take care of yourself when you really couldn’t.

stanziashanddust​:

Being the youngest child meant that Stanzi didn’t have much experience with children. When she was younger, she thought she wanted kids, but the older she got the more she doubted that. Though, that didn’t stop her from fawning over other people’s children. “You know they make glitter paint, right? It’s in the paint itself and it sparkles forever after it dries, but then you don’t have to worry about the mess. Maybe that’s something to look into?”

“Really?” he asked, instantly excited by that concept, “I’ve got to look that up ... and maybe start buying it in bulk.” he commented. Anything that let Abby have her art and kept his entire house from being covered in glitter had to be a miracle. “I think you’re my new favorite person today.”

kaspermarr​:

the pause was short lived , replaced by a slight laugh at the male pointed out the similarities in their name . the male seemed harmless , and so maybe he’d reward the male with those final three letters that had seemed like such a secret before . “ i’m not a casey , i’m a kasper .. with a ‘ k ‘ , not to be confused with that stupid friendly ghost .. the amount of times i hear that comparison is almost sickening , truly . “ the rest of his name was scrawled , albeit hastily , on the piece of paper , still neglecting his surname – maybe that would come with time . “ bet you haven’t met many kasper’s around these parts , “ 

Casey nodded, “Kasper’s a cool name.” he said. He had always thought that making fun of someone for their name was dumb, “I think I had a foster brother with that name one time, actually. I had a lot of foster brothers.” he explained. It was hard to remember them all, especially the older he got. Those years in foster care would always be there, but each home, the time spent with each of the revolving foster siblings represented a smaller and smaller portion of his life.

alexisrhodesxo​:

“I was thinking about doing the same,” Alexis agreed before laughing. Bacon ravioli and deep friend watermelon…both of those things didn’t sound right, but put together…she really did want to try them out and see if they actually are good. “It does, doesn’t it?” she asked. “Something that should taste quite horrible maybe tasting really good at the same time?”

Casey nodded, “Exactly.” he said, “And even if it’s awful, at least I can say that I tried it.” he added with a grin, “Plus, then I can convince Abby she needs to eat her vegetables because they aren’t nearly as bad as whatever terrible thing we find today.” he added. He was all about creative methods of parenting.

ivyharrington​:

Returning his grin, Ivy nodded, still impressed by the fact that people were actually able to bake something like this without setting the house on fire or anything like that. When he finally mentioned his wife though, her smile quickly faded. She hadn’t ever been in love with someone she could have imagined marrying but she could definitely imagine how hard it must be to lose that person. “I’m.. sorry to hear that! About your wife I mean… the food’s great!”, she said with an almost apologising smile. 

Casey nodded carefully, “Thank you.” he said, “It’s been a year and ... we’re getting through it. I’m glad I have my daughter, she makes it easier.” he said honestly. He never wanted Isabelle to stop being a part of his life, he would always talk about her. “Abby likes to help with the decorating too,” he added, changing the subject, “Which definitely makes days I can’t find a baby-sitter easier. She was our sprinkle master on all of the cookies today.”
