rena stopped in her tracks, staring at brady with wide eyes. what did he just say? who was an aunt? she was an aunt? what kind of sick joke… “i’m sorry, what did you just say? because it sounded like you fucked up while fucking someone and got yourself a fucking kid. Is that what you’re saying? i don’t–”

[charmingmakoroff]

“Rena, stop freaking out. Things got kinda hectic in my life, okay? I made some mistakes. But its all better now.” She was gonna have a meltdown, no big deal as long as the dogs stayed quiet in the backyard. Suddenly a loud howl ripped through the air and Brady wondered why God hated him so much. “That’s Wolf, remember Wolf? Puppy you wanted out of the house?” Another howl, more high pitched and yappier than the other. “And that would be Storm, the puppy I got while you were away at College.”

“i’m top priority, i thought you’ve all realized this by now,” rena muttered, pushing her stuff throuhg the front door. after leaving behind a pile of her belongings barricading the front door, she followed brady into the kitchen. her eyes widened at the mess as she passed throughout the house. “jesus, you guys have been slacking with the cleanliness around – why is there a baby chair here? kacey is like… not a baby anymore. you people do know that, right?”

[charmingmakoroff]

“We are aware of this.” He laughed, shaking his head. He noticed the way she stopped when she saw the highchair and he let out a harsh snort. They’d all known this was coming, she had to find out sooner or later. “Congratulations, you’re an aunt.”

[highvoltagc]

“none of you came and helped me move out, how do you think it’s going?” she asked in a deadpan tone, narrowing her eyes in brady’s direction. “plus it’s hot, and i’m starving. who wants to redeem himself as a good stepbrother and cook me something delicious?”

[charmingmakoroff]

“Listen, I was busy.” He snorted, shaking his head. “But I will cook you something delicious.” He made his way to the kitchen, stepsister trailing behind. Surprise there was a highchair in the corner of the room by the table where Brady usually sat for dinner.

rena dropped her bags in front of the door, huffing quietly. that’s cool, she didn’t need help. nope, little rena with tons of crap shoved into a bunch of boxes and suitcases did not need help moving back home. bitter and exhausted, she sat down on top of one of the sturdier suitcases, sending her dad a string of passive aggressive text messages. “who wants to help me move my shit back into my house?!” she called out, wiping the sweat from her brow. “if you’re a robber, you can take brady’s stuff.”

[charmingmakoroff]

 "That’s rude as fuck.” Brady called out from his room, leaving to find his step sister sat atop a suitcase. “How’s it going, sis?” 

[voungbloods]

“I don’t know, the child care services in the house – meaning you and me and our very busy parents – are a little subpar. So who knows how long the kid will last? Well – if my sister has lasted until now, I guess your kid would last, too. Whoo, screaming.”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝You love him, he’s adorable and you know it.❞

[hatedguts]

“Oh, you’re the kid with the kid that everyone’s talking about in the main office. That doesn’t sound fun. How old is he exactly?”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝People talk about me? He’s 10 months, its not a blast but ya know I gotta do it.❞

[marvolonott]

“It’s so fun! …Until you crash; and you walk around like a zombie until you get your next fix.”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝I’m a single dad in highschool, I’m already living that zombie life.❞

[hatedguts]

“You and everyone else in this school, bud. Too much homework last night or what?”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝My son finally started teething, which is a nightmare for everyone really.❞

[nowyattno]

“Oh. Yeah, no, that would prove to be a bit tiring. Is… Is it your sibling?”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝Trust me, its exhausting. And no, my son.❞

[fklucia]

“Working and school is just a nope.”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝I was gonna just drop out this year but my mom was not a fan of that idea.❞

[northfm]

“So I’ve been told, but it’s always nice to hear again. Here, I hope it wakes you up a little.” 

[charmingmakoroff]

❝This is heavenly, honestly. It will definitely help.❞

[binxrenee]

“and you feel the need to tell me this because?”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝Just ya know, stating facts.❞

[marvolonott]

“Okay, it’s a total heart attack in a glass, but if you mix a five hour energy into a black coffee it’ll work wonders. You may enter hyper drive once or twice, but you’ll be fine, probably.”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝Hyper drive, huh? Sounds like its worth the risk.❞

[isavitali-blog]

“potentially — but it also sounds like the recipe for a pretty great cocktail.”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝I’m gonna take that risk.❞ 

[isavitali-blog]

“coffee, energy drink or a shot? pick your poison.”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝If I picked all three do you reckon it’d kill me?❞

[nowyattno]

“Why? Sports? Homework?”

[charmingmakoroff]

❝A mixture of that and raising a 10 month old.❞

[northfm]

“As luck would have it I’ve got coffee. You can have it if you want… though might be more sugar and syrup than actual coffee in it. Promise it’s safe to drink and you won’t get herpes.“ 

[charmingmakoroff]

❝You are an angel, a blessing. Really.❞
