[lancexbrowne]

"No worries at all," he replied with a understanding smile and tone. Lance figured the male had something on their mind and their mind was not here at all and plus he did not take offend to it at all. "You seem to have a lot on your mind tonight," he added soft tone as he took a sip of his drink as he looked at his friend, studying their face. "Plus, it was not that important at all. I just going on and on about some random event. What's up, you can always talk to me and there is no pressure to do so?" @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

Graham was not surprised that Lance noticed. Hell, even people that didn't know him could see that something was weighing heavily on his mind. Outside of Andie, no one knew that Theo wasn't his son. He wasn't sure that he wanted people to know. Not ever, if he could help it. "Oh, yeah," he shook his head, "the grief, you know? They aren't joking when they say it comes in waves." Graham let out a humorless laugh as he looked at Lance. "But yeah, sorry, go ahead and continue. I'm fully focused now." He said, giving Lance his full and undivided attention once more. @lancexbrowne

[andielawson]

Andie knew there was no way that Graham had had any suspicions that Theo wasn't his baby. He'd taken fatherhood with pride, being there for Theo in ways that even she could've only ever dreamed of for her sister. And to see the way his face seemed to fall at the realization both his and Theo's lives for the past six months had all been based on lies nearly broke her again. Even more so than the admittance of the affair. "They were also really good at hiding it." she admitted, never having thought much about the times they'd be alone together. Reid had been part of the Marlowe family for so long before his death, there was no question as to why he and Paisley were so comfortable around each other. They'd grew up together, had been 'siblings' for well over fifteen years. It was no wonder no one had seen any signs saying otherwise. It was only when the subject changed to Theo that Andie let her eyes shift to the infant, then back to Graham. "You're his dad, Graham." she stated. "You've been his dad since day one." she admitted, offering him a small smile. "You're all he has left." @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

Graham hadn't expected to hurt this way. His chest tightened as Andie said that he was Theo's dad. He paused for longer than necessary and his gaze dropped to the floor in front of them. How could be Theo's father when he belonged to Reid? How was Graham supposed to look at his son every single day and not see the betrayal that Paisley and Reid had took part in. This would be a mistake that would stay louder than others in his mind. Graham lifted his hands to his face, covering his eyes before clenching his hands into fist. He squeezed his eyes shut, hoping it would stop his blood from boiling over. "He doesn't deserve this. You don't deserve this." Graham's jaw was tight as he spoke, dropping his hands back to his side and lifting his gaze to Andie. @andielawson

Graham, having become a single parent in the last few months, found himself needing more help. Or needing more reasons to get out of the house. While Paisley had not really been living with him long, since the realization that Theo was not his son, he was struggling in staying in the house. Had they conceived Theo there? Had Reid been in his home while he was gone with Paisley? They were all thoughts he couldn't ask aloud. When he asked them to himself, he was only infuriated. When he thought of Andie, his heart ached with the kind of sadness he thought never would be cured. His mother had gone with him to one of the parent and baby mixers in Kismet Harbor, but had to leave to go pick his father up from an appointment, leaving Graham on his own. Theo was nearly seven months old but there were a variety of aged babies. He made eye contact with a woman, with a young baby in her arms. "I remember when Theo was that little," he said, a nod to his son in his arms. "They just look so peaceful at this age.

[andielawson]

This all felt like a slap in the face; she'd not even completely gotten over the idea of losing the man she'd loved for the last twenty years was gone, and now there was another layer to piece together. Her sister had been sleeping with her husband; the baby that she'd thought had been Graham's had been her husbands. And while it felt obvious now - she wasn't sure how she'd missed it - her heart broke for the infant. Almost more than it did her own.

It was Graham's words that made Andie look up from the hole she'd been staring in the floor. "I shouldn't have accused you of knowing, I'm sorry." She'd known that. There wasn't a part of her that ever believed that Graham had any kind of knowledge of Theo actually belonging to Reid; not only because he'd been just as frantic when he'd text her but because she knew there was no part of Graham that would've ever kept it from her. "I just -" she paused. There were really no words to describe how she was feeling. "I don't know how we didn't see it before now." @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

"You don't have to apologize to me." Graham told her and he meant it. What they were both discovering was life shattering, on top of what they were already going through. "I don't know how we didn't see it either." And he didn't. Graham had been all consumed with trying to make his relationship with Paisley work. "I never would have guessed. I mean everything with me and Paisley started up again so fast." He shook his head, "The timing lined up and I never questioned that the baby wasn't mine." Graham thinned his lips, inhaling deeply through his nose as he took in the information. "I -" he turned, slightly, looking to the living room where the infant laid in the bassinet. "I don't know what to do now." Graham turned back to Andie with a downturn of his lips. "He's going to look more like Reid as he gets older and I can't -" his head shook once more, "I don't know how to live with that." @andielawson

[camrynxlawson]

"Oh.. Sorry I didn't mean.. I know you lost her too." Camryn filled in the gap of silence, a gnawing feeling in her gut. Just because they weren't married, didn't make Camryn feel like he had no claim to the grief, on the contrary. She just felt like she had to focus more on her mother, who got a double whammy from this all. But when Graham continued, she nodded. "I know." she agreed with him, knowing that her mother would give her a lecture should she find out. "I'm not saying anyone's grief is more important. Just that hers is... A lot all at once." Camryn was an only child. She had not found a true love that swept her off of her feet. But if she had to imagine it for herself, she knew that it hurt, a lot. "You'll look out for her, right? When I'm not around." @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

Graham understood where she was coming from. Grief was not something that anyone handled the same. It was unique to each individual person. "I know you're not." Camryn reminded him of Andie in so many ways when they were teenagers. Her thoughtfulness was one that no one else matched. "It is." It broke his heart to think of Andie having lost two people. He did, too. But, his relationships were more strained with both of those people than Andie. "I will always look out for your mother." That was a promise that Graham would take to his grave. @camrynxlawson

END.

[gabrielxpierce]

"I'm happy to please." Maybe it helped that he had no experience regarding death, or not to his recollection anyway. He had a much more sober approach to it, even if from time to time he seemed to recollect a feeling rather than a memory about his parents for example, which was just more confusing than anything else but it was progress. Maybe. Hopefully. "If you would like to use my distracting services more, just holler at me, I'm always up for a good time." And if that meant drinking at a bar, he'd take it. @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

Graham nodded his head to Gabriel's words. "Okay, yeah, well if you're free, might as well keep joining me." He slid a beer across the table to him. "I've got enough to keep me busy but I'm happy to share." Frankly, he needed to share with someone to keep himself from drowning in more misery. The whole point of the night out was for him to enjoy himself, right? To take a moment to forget all the horrendous things that had just happened to him and to Andie. God, to fucking Andie. That broke him more than anything, if he were being honest. "Tell me, what's been going on with you?" @gabrielxpierce

Graham grew up around Lance, knowing the other well. He sat across from him, fingers picking at the napkin before he looked up and realized that he had missed something that Lance had said. "Sorry," he cleared his throat, letting the napkin fall from his fingers as he did so. "I totally spaced out there for a second. What did you say, again. Sorry." Graham blew air over his lips, partly embarrassed for spacing out in the moment. His mind was all over the place as of lately, Andie being the only person knowing why this was so much more than grief being a weight on his chest.

[andielawson]

The pieces of the puzzle were all falling into place and Andie was suddenly nauseated. She should've seen the signs before, shared glances across the dinner table, lingering laughs when they were in the room alone; yet Andie never thought twice about it. Was it because of her own thoughts through the years - the ones that she'd been trying to shove down since her return to Kismet Harbor - that made it less obvious then? Or had she just been too careless to care at the time? Too caught up in the 'now' and what was going on in her own personal life to pay attention. Typical Andie, honestly.

And yet, as the words escaped Graham's lips as if they'd been rehearsed a few times, Andie felt the wind leave her lungs as she placed her head in her hands. If she thought about it long enough, she had no right to be upset; but the fact she'd been betrayed by not only her own husband but her sister. Betraying their best friend as well, it just didn't sit right with Andie. As teenagers? Sure. All teenagers were stupid; they all made mistakes they couldn't take back. But adults that had built a life with their current partners; something didn't make sense. "What are you're reasonings because none of mine make any sense." she paused, looking up at him, face growing pale as she shook her head, an angry tear escaping her eyes. "How long do you think they were having an affair?" she asked, knowing that they both knew what this meant. "And better yet did you know?" The question was stupid, she'd learn when she had the opportunity to think about it later, but in the moment she wanted to blame someone and since Reid wasn't here, his best friend felt like the next best option. "Do you think he knew?" she added, knowing Graham would know she meant that Theo was in fact Reid's. He'd have been blind to think otherwise. @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

The question felt like a gut punch. His jaw tightened at the sharpness in her tone, but he didn't blame her for any of it. Hell, he thought maybe she should be yelling louder. "I didn't know." He answered immediately, because that part mattered more than the rest of it right now. "If I had known -" he stopped, rubbing a hand over his face, "I can tell you that we wouldn't be here trying to piece it all together right now." His eyes dropped to the floor briefly before finding her again. Tension sat heavily in his shoulders as he started up again. "I thought, maybe," he shook his head as he let out a sigh. "It was never enough to even think about accusing someone of it. I was gone a long time. I knew you guys were always close knit. I just thought I was on the outs of it all." Graham added, closing his eyes for a beat.

And then there was Theo.

"I know Reid wasn't a stupid man," well, at least he hadn't thought his best friend was but cheating on Andie was the stupidest thing anyone could do. He was certain of that, "I'm sure he suspected but I doubted they ever talked about it." @andielawson

[camrynxlawson]

"Oh, uh I should ask mom. I don't know if she already ate or not." Camryn stated, not wanting her mother to eat alone at a time like this. Which felt ironic, since that would mean she didn't mind Graham eating by himself, but he hadn't married her aunt, and it made sense for Camryn to be there for her mother, right? "I hope she's okay." Camryn said as she fished out her phone to text her mother. She didn't call, not knowing if she would be interrupting something. "I feel bad acting like the world ended because my father died, while mom literally lost her sister and the love of her life in one instance." Camryn let out a breath, pressing send. "I asked mom." @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

He watched her type out a message to Andie, understanding completely that Camryn would want to eat with her mother. Even if they weren't all suffering from a loss, he'd still understand. "We all lost someone, something when your dad and Paisley were in that car crash." Graham started, his gaze shifting to the floor in front of him as he spoke about it. "Yet, doesn't mean you have to minimize how you're feeling because someone else lost someone, too. The whole thing is brutal all around." He shook his head, letting a silence fall for a beat before adding. "And you know she'd hate to hear you talking about your grief being less important than her own." @camrynxlawson

[gabrielxpierce]

"Oh, good. Don't know what I would have done had my ego been hurt." Gabriel mused, ordering a drink for himself and a refill for Graham. At the question of how Graham was doing, he knew the question was a risky one. Losing someone, especially one so close to you was always something that either made you turn away from the world or completely numb to it. He let Graham find the words needed to explain and when he did, he just nodded. "Is that something you need, or would you rather just be home?" Gabriel asked, understanding it all too well if he would admit that being home with a beer and a movie was preferable over company at a bar. He was certain he'd feel the same way. @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

There was something easy about joking with Gabriel, in a way that it shouldn't have been in the moment. Yet, he was also relieved that he still was capable of such a thing. Graham slowly shook his head to Gabriel's words. "Honestly," he let out a breath, slowly over her lips as his head stilled. "I'm not really sure what I need and I don't think this has been a bad thing for me, so far." At least, he was given company by Gabriel now and he wasn't wallowing in his own grief alone, but in public. "This," he gestured to Gabriel, "is at least a nice distraction." @gabrielxpierce

[arlocontreras]

"I think that's fair." Arlo nodded, eyes focusing on the other. "That's the thing about returning to a town your comfortable in. Whether or not you expect it to be easy I've learned there's always something that feels like it's impossible to get through." he shrugged. "But as long as you're happy with the decisions I guess you can't really complain about the rest of it can you?" he sighed. "I don't regret it either, for what it's worth." he admitted. "A lot I have to navigate but, I don't regret it." @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

Graham listened intently, nodding his head to the man's words. "Yeah." There did always seem to be something impossible to get through in life, whether or not one liked it. Graham had experienced his own difficulties living in San Diego, having made the choice to leave Kismet Harbor for college and staying there for a degree of time afterward. Coming home, had also been a choice. Being with Paisley, a choice. "Here's to navigating our lives in Kismet." Graham lifted his beer, holding it out to Arlo. "We could be doing a lot worse." @arlocontreras

END.

[andielawson]

Andie felt like her heart was about to beat out of her chest, or that she was going to pass out, one or the other. She wasn't sure which. In this moment the only thing she knew for sure was what she saw. Her eyes shifted between Graham to Theo, back to Graham, head shaking. It was all she could do. Why did Theo remind her so much of her late husband? The resemblance was uncanny really. One Andie couldn't wrap her head around.

"I saw it." she muttered, eyes now fixated on the infant sleeping in the crib across the room. Something in her gut was telling her to think, to figure out what was happening or at least give her a reasonable explanation as to why they both saw what they saw. Graham confirmed it when he said he saw it too, yet all Andie could do was shake her head. Her mind was racing. And that's when it hit her, causing her face to turn white. "Graham." she said his name, shakily but there none the less.

"Did you ever stop to ask yourself why they both died in that accident?" she questioned. "I didn't catch it at the time, but, they said it was a one vehicle accident." She'd not cared enough at the time to ask what Reid had hit to cause such significant injuries to take his life, yet now that was all she could think about. "One." she breathed. "Which means they--" she paused, knowing she couldn't get the words out, but hoping that Graham knew exactly what she was thinking. @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

The shaky way in which she said his name had his attention. Then there was the question, the one that had been plaguing his mind over and over again. The nightmares that woke him of the moment he got that call, a sleeping Theo on his chest. The days following all of it. The funeral. It had all put his mind in a blur as he tried to make it from one day to the next. Until today, when he was staring at his son and there was that moment of clarity. It wasn't the kind that anyone wanted to realize.

"It means they were together in that car." Graham finished where he thought that her thoughts were going. "That they were together when it happened." He paused a beat. "They could have been together for a number of reasons. I went through them all, justified them all in my head." He reached up, tapping his temple before his hand fell and he shook his head. "But there's only one reason that makes sense for my son to look like your husband." @andielawson

[andielawson]

The text from Graham had sent shivers down Andie's spine, but just like she promised him, Theo, Paisley and Reid - even if they hadn't heard her - that she'd look out for everyone here, but especially Theo. Despite the emotional turmoil that she felt she'd been living in in the last month, she threw herself together, putting on shoes as she quickly replied to the text message.

Andie: I'm on my way. Everything okay?

Yet when there was no response she tried not to panic. Because panicking wouldn't get her anywhere. Yet all she wanted was to make sure everyone was okay; it was the one thing she needed before she could rest tonight, even if something in her gut told her she wouldn't be.

As she pulled up to Graham's, and later made her way inside, she'd only let her gaze focus back on Theo when Graham told her to look at him, to really look at him. And Andie did, eyes focusing on the baby.

The first thing she noticed was his eye lids and the dark prominent veins that you could only see in certain lighting. They reminded her of Camryn in a way, but mostly because they reminded her of herself and her sister Paisley. A trait they'd both shared and had clearly passed onto their children. The next thing she noticed was his tiny perfect nose. One she'd placed kisses on more times than she could count on one hand, and then her eyes shifted to his mouth. The small smirk he had on his lips made Andie smile a little. He was likely having a good dream, one that likely contained his mother which broke her heart. Bringing a finger up to wipe at her eye, the lone tear that had shed falling down her cheek.

Her gaze than shifted to the rest of him, only taking a step back when he moved, though that's when her eyes landed on his face again. It was the way his mouth fell that had Andie searching for an answer. Something in her gut told her she'd seen it before, but assuming it was nothing she nearly turned to look back at Graham, though that's when it smacked her. A punch to the gut. Because that look had been the same one that she'd stared at on the obituary pamphlet for the last four weeks.

Turning on her heels she felt her chest tighten and she grabbed Graham's arm, escorting him out of the room. Mostly because she knew what she was about to say wasn't appropriate for tiny ears. "What the fuck are you trying to say Graham? Because I-" she paused, feeling her breath hitch in her throat again. "All I can see laying there is Reid Lawson." she paused, inhaling sharply. "Why the hell does your son look like Reid, Graham?" @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

Graham placed Theo down as Andie took a step back. He knew that she had seen it. He didn't know how they had not seen it sooner. Graham had been so focused on building his life with Paisley and locking up pieces of his heart that should had never existed in the first place, that it took until now. His lips parted, ready to say something when Andie grabbed his arm to escort him out of the room. He looked over his shoulder, Theo still fast asleep in the pack 'n play still.

In the kitchen, Graham's eyes landed on her, watching the anger flicker through her in a flash. "I didn't say anything." Graham stated plainly, forcing himself to remain steady to the best of his ability. "I was going to ask you the same thing." This time his own voice gave way to a hint of anger at the suspected betrayal that was creeping into his mind. "There's no reason that he should, but I saw it too." @andielawson

[andielawson]

✦ closed starter for @grahamxweber ✦ based on: 🌔| where everything she's always known has changed.

"Hey." Andie spoke, making her way into what used to be Graham and Paisley's shared home. She hadn't entered the home since the accident and even as she entered now, the weight that came along with it sitting heavy on her chest. She'd nearly said no, yet, the way that Graham seemed to be frantic in his text message had sent Andie into a spiral that she wouldn't be able to calm from until she went over to check in on things. "I got here as fast as I could. Is he okay?" she questioned, eyes shifting from Theo to Graham and back to Theo as the realization that Theo seemed fine hit her. "Are you okay?"

[grahamxweber]

Theo's restlessness was because he was tired. He was half-fussing and was refusing to give into the exhaustion for nap time. Graham wondered if that stubbornness came from him or Paisley. Still, he tucked his son against his chest, one hand supporting the back of his head as he continued to pace through the living room in attempt to get his son to fall asleep.

Eventually, Theo gave into the rhythm and sleep took him in. Theo shifted, a soft sound falling from his lips as he did so. Graham looked down at him, really looked. There was something about the way Theo's face was resting. It was not the obvious things like his hair color or the shape of his face. What caught Graham's eyes was much more subtle than that. It was something in the way Theo's mouth was pulled slightly to one side. He felt it to be familiar, but in a way that didn't make sense.

His pacing slowed to careful steps, slowly adjusting his son to see if the angle was just off. To see if that would make the thought go away. It didn't.

"It can't-" Graham muttered to himself, a crease forming between his brows as he continued to stare at his son. He felt something in his chest drop because he knew where he had seen the slight pull of Theo's mouth before. Too many times to count. He'd seen it in someone elses face.

Reid Lawson.

It had to be a coincidence, Graham thought to himself. That people looked like other people all the time, that it didn't mean anything. Another noise left Theo and he was forced to pick up his pace again, jaw tightening to keep his son asleep in his arms. He tried to push the thought from his mind but now that he'd seen it, it couldn't leave his mind.

While he held Theo, he fished his phone out of his pocket. He found Andie's name, hovering over her contact for a beat before he clicked it to open up texting.

Graham: I need you to come over. I need you to look at something Graham: Something's not right

He didn't know how long it took for Andie to arrive, still his steps carrying him through the living room. "I'm in here," he called out when he heard Andie's voice come through the front door. His gaze met hers as she looked from Theo to him. It was obvious nothing was wrong with either of them. "I need you to tell me if I'm losing it." Graham shifted Theo in his arms so that he was better facing Andie. "But just look at him for a second. Tell me I'm wrong."

[camrynxlawson]

"I don't blame him." In a way, she was jealous. Theo was able to cry his eyes out, scream so hard her ears would still be beeping when she'd lay down in bed that night. Whereas if she would do the same, people would tell her to get a grip. She'd trade her own life to just walk into her father's office and get a bear hug from him. To call her aunt for advice. It was all unfair and she was suppressing it so much it hurt all the more. Handing over her cousin, she waved away his comment. "I'm happy for the distraction, really." She spoke, somewhat more timidly. "I'll just get a sandwich at home, no need to fuss over me, truly." @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

"It's not a fuss," he said, bouncing his son lightly in his arms. Theo grounded him in a way that he didn't think he would. Graham knew that he had to be strong for his son, even when his son couldn't comprehend. "It's no fuss at all. I'm happy for the distraction." He echoed, an attempt at amusement threading through his words. Graham gave Camryn a faint smile. "We can order something, too, if you want. Your aunt was the better cook than me." The words fell too easily from his lips, causing him to frown afterwards. Talking about Paisley or Reid came naturally because of how prominent they were in his life, but it was the realization that they were gone that hit harder whenever he did talk about them. @camrynxlawson

[andielawson]

"Thank you." was all she could mutter, and if she were being honest with herself she wasn't even sure she'd managed to mutter those words. She wasn't even sure that this were really happening; she was in some sort of nightmare, unsure of where the fine line of the real world and dream world connected. She sat in silence for what felt like hours before she allowed herself to blink, eyes shifting to Graham. She knew how he was feeling. Being unable to process this; she didn't know where to start either. It was only at the mention of Theo that she let herself look down at the car seat, a single tear escaping her eye. "You don't have to." Andie paused. "I know I will never take the role of Paisley, and I never want to, but, I'll do whatever you need from me." Andie stated. "It's the least I can do; but if it's too much for you I can respect that." @grahamxweber

[grahamxweber]

Graham swallowed hard with Andie's words. Paisley. While he had never thought he had been in love with her, he did love her. Of course he did, it had just never been in the same way he loved Andie. The silence stretched after her words, like it had intention behind it. Graham didn't know what to say, didn't know what to do. "I appreciate the offer." He finally spoke, having had to think about what he was going to say in the moment. "I will ask for help." He didn't if he needed it, because truthfully, Graham knew that he would need it. @andielawson
