“I’ll keep that in mind, but don’t be surprised if I leave your house having changed the tots hair color.” She said poking at his legs. “Oh, you think if we didn’t have you, Zoey and I would be chaotic?” Jasmine knew she could be chaotic, there was no denying that, but her brand of chaos was happy colorful chaos. “Who’s the apprentice?” Eyes scanned over the photos of the kids, a smile growing on her lips. The twins were precious and HUGE now. “Iris forbid – they’re so BIG! Holy crap.” She glanced to him, then back to the photos. “Can they stop growing so fast?” she laughed. “But, I’d be more concerned if Sasha wasn’t scary.” Jasmine teased shaking her head, “How are you two though? Happy? Thinking about –” she held up her left hand and wiggled her fingers, “Or not in the cards?” Jasmine really had no clue how Jack’s relationship with Sasha worked, but Sasha scared her a bit… so she was curious.

“Hey, as long as you change it back at some point, do what you want with their hair. It’d be hilarious to see Sasha’s reaction.” Jack laughed, picturing it already, his Russian paramour steaming because her daughter and son had blue and green hair respectively. “I’m not sure on him yet, but his name is Peter. He’s still a trainee so we’ll see how he goes. He’s still new.” Jack shrugged, before his phone was then in his hand, and Jasmine was cooing over the pictures of his children. “They’re like weeds, I don’t think they’ll ever stop going. Almost five months now, it’s ridiculous. How time goes so fast.” h spoke, before slipping his phone in his pocket. At the wiggling of her finger, Jack groaned and dropped his head back, gently nudging his leg out to kick her in the ankle - very softly of course. “We’re just settling into being parents, let’s not make it even more complicated.”

Alek was sick and tired of having pretty much only hot dogs in the fridge because of Dmitri, but was too stubborn to ask Mari for help, so now here she was. Staring blankly down one of the isles with a cart. What the fuck was supposed to be normally bought at a supermarket? She started to just grab whatever caught her eye, which so far got her too many sugary cereals and a grapefruit. In her mind this was going well, until she spotted her half brother with…babies at the end of the isle she was currently on. The youngest Hephaestus child was already in motion to do a complete one-eighty, until she remembered he owned a mechanics shop. She was having a hard time finding a specific part of her project bike and he was probably her last chance at any connections on Icaria to find it. Just suck it up. Hopefully it will only last a few minutes. She started to push the cart over towards him, but once she was close enough said a snarky remark out of habit. “Are those yours? They’re very ugly.” @jxck-cxrlyle​

[jxck-cxrlyle]

Jack hadn’t really been expecting to run into anyone at the grocery store - he’d had the twins in their double buggy, and was pushing them around, picking up some bits that Sasha had sent hi out for when a voice hit his ears, calling his children ugly. For a moment, Jack though as he turned around, wondering who in the hell would think that his kids were ugly, but he visibly relaxed when he saw it was his youngest sibling, Alek. “Oh, it’s only you. I was about to punch whoever called my kids ugly, but from you, acknowledging them at all is a compliment.” He spoke, wondering if his words were kind or not, but moving past them quickly. “This is your nephew, Ilya, and your niece, Elena. Look guys, this is your Auntie Alek!” He bent down closer to the crib, his eyes however still on his sister. “She’s not the nicest, she’s actually a bit meaner than your mother, but who knows, maybe she’ll like you half Russian little creatures?”

“Basically everything and the kitchen sink. I wanted the you playlist to be fun to listen to so you didn’t get bored. Linkin Park, Sleeping With Sirens, Kings of Leon… I also added Better Than Ezra because there’s this one woman who won’t shut up about the environment but also Ezra Sutton. So I decided to do the thing. And if the song fits the vibe, it fits,” Yona said, pulling out pictures of a cassette tape that she had scribbled the songs on. Even if she had been born too late to make a mix tape that was an actual tape, she liked the aesthetic. “For the child-safe version, it’s mostly 80s stuff like The Cure. But do you think babies will feel too much about the way of the world if they listen to Hozier?” She didn’t really stay in one place while she spoke, not giving Jack a lot of time to react unless he interrupted.

“I like it! You’re the best, Yona!” Jack replied with an enthusiastic nod, moving over to his laptop that was always plugged into the work desk to the left of his garage, turning to her with a bright smile on his face. “Where can I find this playlist because I think we need to get out jam on, don’t you?” He spoke, softening his smile ever so slightly when she explained that the second playlist was for him to play around the twins. “Hey, they’re only about five months old, and they’re already listened to the classics - Bon Jovi, Nirvana, Ozzy Osbourne, your playlist is probably better than mine is.”

         𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 her laugh when he assured her he hasn’t killed anyone and thanked him when he acted like a gentleman. She turns to him when he spoke she deserved a night out. She hardly knew what is like to going out anymore, all she could think of their children, and not caring much about herself, even though some days are very hard for her, she wants to cry, scream, or even wanting to quit her new ‘maternity’ job. Post-partum hormones were also a bitch. ❛ Thank you for that. ❜ Jack was kind and 'surprisingly’ patient to certain things, she feels so lucky to have him, she felt him squeezing her thigh, and she held the urge of wanting to kiss him. ❛ We can say that, yes. ❜ She watched the street from the window, while he drives. ❛ Oh, do you like it? You told me we are going to a decent place, I figured I could wear something nicer. But I’m a little worried to be overdressed.❜ She turns on the radio of his car, searching for a radio station while he drives. ❛ Can’t believe I’ll have my glass of vodka tonight. ❜ Sasha knew she shouldn’t drink much alcoholic beverage yet due to her breastfeeding, but only once will not kill anyone. The blonde really hoped they had vodka there, otherwise, she’d stick with old wine.

“Look at you, being nice to me.” Jack grinned, and changed his expression into one of feign shock, and placed his hand on his chest. “Are you unwell? Should we go back home and get back into sweatpants?” He teased, reaching across and giving her thigh and gentle squeeze, his eyes glancing over at her from the road for a moment. She really did look beautiful tonight - not as if she didn’t look stunning every night, but dressed up, he remembered why he had fallen for her in the first place. “You’re definitely not overdressed, trust me. It’s a nice place, and you’re dressed perfectly.” He took his hand off of her leg and back to his steering wheel, knowing there wasn’t long left until they got to Supernova. “You can! Have as many as you want, or is safe, or whatever.” He spoke, unsure as to how much Sasha could really drink with feeding the babies. “Whatever you want tonight.”

After her shift at the hospital, Viv found herself sitting on the warm sand staring out into the water of the ocean. This spot brought Viv a sense of peace and where she usually found herself when she wasn’t chasing the bottom of a bottle. If she was honest it reminded of her home in South Caroline and that was a feeling she’d been lacking until recently with Weston’s death. She let out a sigh before realizing someone was also on the beach. “Well hello stranger,” she teased lightly as her hands cupped the top of her eyes so she could see the person better, “Come here often?”

@icariastarters​

[jxck-cxrlyle]

Jack liked the beach. He’d been out for a walk, Sasha at home with the babies that night, and honestly, he just needed to go for a bit of a walk after his day. It had felt long, felt like it had dragged, and he was glad to see the back of it. Things just hadn’t gone as they should have, a carburettor had broken on him just as he had a customer driving off of the lot -- it hadn’t been good. He’d been in his own little world, just walking through until he spotted the silhouette of someone on the beach, and a familiar voice hit his ears. Unable to stop the smirk from crossing over his lips, Jack sank down into the sand beside his oldest friend. “Are you hitting on me? I’d say it’s a bit fast, but I do know that I’m irresistible.” He teased, nudging her gently with his shoulder. 

[jxck-cxrlyle]

As the voice by Will.I.AM blared out through the speakers of Nightshade, Jack felt a little wiggle in his hips start, and he turned to the closest person to him, a bright and intoxicated grin on his lips. “This is for me!” He shouted over the beat, closing his eyes as he revelled in the last birthday that he would turn in his thirties. “It’s my birthdaaaay!”

 Happy Birthday to the ‘lad’ who can’t keep up a conversation with me because: 

A - He got too old (?, finally the age hit on his door. B - The twins is sucking his energy. C - Did I poison his drink!? 🤔  ( I bet this is his fave alternative. ) D - All the options above. Make your bet.

“Jack! Jack! Hi!” Yona came tearing into the garage, so glad to see Jack. So maybe he was at work, but Jack wasn’t hourly, right? …Right? She had never really asked that question before, and now didn’t seem like the best time for that. She assumed that Jack could spare a few minutes for her. “I made you a playlist! Well… two playlists. One for you, and one that you can definitely listen to with your babies because I’m not sure how much they’re into alternative rock.”

[jxck-cxrlyle]

“Hey, they’re my kids - they will be into alternative rock if I have anything to do with it.” Jack grinned as he heard Yona’s voice echoing around the garage, and he came up from where he was tucked under one of the wheel arches of the tractor he was working on for one of the Larsen twins. “What have you got on there, gimme’ a run down, you music angel.”

“Well that’s good.” She teased poking his chest as she took a bite of the doughnut.  “I would be very sad if you forgot about us. I’d have to come and help take care of the tots just so I could harass you.” Jasmine leaned on the countertop as they spoke. “Hey! We don’t get in trouble! We’re the two calmest people on the isle don’t go making up drama for us.” She said sticking her tongue out. “As for work? It’s been relaxed, three clients? Which two were dye jobs so they took a while to get done, so not bad honestly.” She moved around the desk, grabbed her rolly chair and slid into it before rolling out in a dramatically silly way to actually be able to see him around the desk. “Hows the kiddos and Sasha?”

“Hey now, you can come and look after the kids any time. You don’t have to make excuses because you’d miss me if I wasn’t around.” Jack teased her as he stretched his legs out in front of him from the seat, relaxing his head against the wall. “Yeah, yeah - you’re not as bad as some on the island I’ll admit, but that’s because you’ve got me to stop you.” He shot her a playful wink. “I’m glad your day has been okay. I’ve been quiet too, so I’ve just left the apprentice there working on a Dodge. Only simple things, told him to call me if there an emergency.” He waved his hand, a laugh leaving his lips as she rolled out on her chair from behind the desk. “They’re good!” He pulled out his phone and clicked onto his photos, bringing up a new one from the night before when both of the twins were asleep on his chest. “They’re growing like weeds though, it’s actually quite scary. Sasha’s okay too.. also still scary.”

       𝐒𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐀 𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐓 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 on her shoulder making her focus on him, and his words. He was right, their children weren’t exactly problems. Even so, hurts her ego to feel dependent on people, but she needs a break too, so does Jack. It’s nothing personal against Zoey, if he trusts her, then she’d trust the other woman too. ❛ It’s nothing to do I don’t trust Zoey, Jack. Y'know what? Nevermind. ❜ The blonde didn’t want to argue with Jack, mostly because she feels so exhausted that she doesn’t feel ENERGY to even quarrel. The Russian tries to put her worries on ‘fuck off’ mode for the time being. She studied Jack from head to toe and said…  ❛ нет (no). ❜        The shower was good. It was weird had to dress up nicely after a long time, and had the simple make-up done. This used to be her daily routine pre-pregnancy. She picked her purse and her leather coat, she huffed leaving the toys behind, as he stated there isn’t anything to worry, and grabbed his hand. Left their home stealthily, entering on his car. ❛ Okay, Jack. Be honest with me. We’ve known each for a while now. And you know you can trust me. Especially now I’m the mother of your children. So… ❜ The blonde blurt out in a serious tone. ❛ Who did you murder and who I need to use my hypnosis power to forget that witnessed your crime? Or where’s the bodies, where will we bury? ❜ She teases him, supressing a giggle. Imagine this... Jack, killer, it’s HILARIOUS to Sasha. ❛ Side note… You’re surprisingly well dressed tonight. ❜

“I did not kill anyone, thank you very much.” Jack grinned as he opened the door and helped Sasha into the car, like a gentleman would, and then made his own way around to the other side so that he could get in as well. “I just thought, with the babies and all, I get out and go to work but you’re still on maternity leave, and you deserve a night out where you can get dressed up and enjoy yourself without worrying about the kids.” He reached over and gently squeezed her thigh, a flirtatious look coming over his lips. “My god, was that a compliment from you?” He laughed, having now turned the car on and was driving in the direction of Supernova. “You look stunning tonight, Sasha.”

maristela​:

Mari smiled, waving back at Elena when Jack moved her arm. Once she had the all-clear, she approached Ilya in the pushchair and waved the ring over his head. She was confused for a moment when the baby reached for it and didn’t grab it, but then realized she must be holding it just a little too far away for him to be able to grab. Maybe babies were bad at leaning forward? That made sense, it seemed like there were a lot of things babies weren’t very good at. She held the rattle closer and sure enough, the baby grabbed it from her. “Oh! There he goes.”

Jack watched for a moment, his eyes stuck on the two in the stroller and his breathe caught in his throat as Illya didn’t move to grab the rattle. He was about to step forward and see what was wrong when the toy was moved a little closer to him and he instantly took it from Mari’s hands, a soft sigh leaving his lips. “He’s a grabber. His poor mum has her hair grabbed all the time, I’m surprised he’s not made bald patches.”

“You better be. Time is money, man,” he teasingly called back at Jack. The man finally walked around a car before seeing Jack’s legs sticking out of the car he was working on. Eli was relieved to see Jack as he rolled out from under the car, even surprised to see a bit of a smile on his face. “Yea, I could say the same about you. Almost forgot what that ugly mug looked like it’s been so long,” Eli joked as he leaned against the shop wall. “Is this where you’ve been hiding?”

“Hey. which one of us is banging a smoking hot blonde Russian, and who’s single? Looks like you’re the ugly one.” Jack replied with a teasing smile, tossing his dirty rag over at the male who was wearing what looked like a nice crisp, clean shirt. “There’s only so much socialising one can do when you have two kids under the age of six months and a business to run on your own. I’m buried, barely have time to breath.” He sighed, the smile faltering slightly, leaning against the car behind him. “How’re you?”

IT was no secret that nova and weston had been close , so she wasn’t surprised when practically the whole island had been worried about her after his passing . she was still doing her best to deal with his loss , but it was a constant struggle . seeing jack’s smile only caused her to smile in return . “ that’s good ! i can imagine them getting so big is scary , but also exciting ? ” she offered kindly . when asked how she was doing , nova offered jack a shrug . “ i’m … coping ? ”

“Very exciting.” Jack nodded with a smile, pushing the thoughts of the man that his children would have called uncle for a moment, as he leaned down into the stroller and tucked the blanket a little tighter around Illya.  “I think that’s what we’re all trying to do, you know? Keep distracted, and carry on.”

           𝐒𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐀 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐒 on the screen in front of her, as she laid prone position on the sofa, not wanting to do anything other than breathing, wrapped in her blanket. The twins were near her, in a portable crib that stays on the living room. Jack near her too, but she hasn’t noticed he was up for something, she was so hooked with on the show about knives and blades, on the best part she’d get the name of a certain knife, Jack turned off the TV. ❛ Jack!!! ❜ She measure her tone because of the twins, but nudged him with her foot on his thighs, pouting, angry with him. The blonde studying his expression listening to his words. She rolled her eyes, and sat on the sofa. ❛ First of all, we shouldn’t bother people with our problem Jack. Secondly, you’re being so specific today… ❜ And a suspicious look, that part goes unsaid. The Russian didn’t like to ask people to babysit their twins, but she also does not like to ask help for anyone. It’s nothing personal or against Zoey, or any other person that offered their hand to Sasha, even her own siblings. She just hates the feels of being dependent with someone. It took her a while to accept Jack’s help… When she first found out about the pregnancy.       Zoey seems a nice girl, and it’s a person Jack trusts, so she trust her too. ❛ Thirdly —-…. ❜ A pause for a moment, lost in thoughts for a hot second.  ❛ I’ll get dressed then. ❜ Sasha hasn’t left home since she delivery her twins… She only goes out to monthly check-up on the babies and her. When she was going upstair to get ready she stops in the middle. ❛ You better dress something nice too. ❜ She shook her head at her own words. Jack isn’t exactly good at pick a decent clothes on her opinion. She remembers how ridiculous he looks like, when they first hooked up.         After a moment that she showered, got dressed and now finishing her make up, in front of the mirror, ending to put lipstick, she spray her perfume on herself, and went to the twins room, preparing and picking all the things the babies will need, during her absence, in an easy place. —- Then she back at the living room.

Jack let out a sigh as Sasha started to tell him off for asking Zoey to babysit, and he gently reached down to place his hand on her shoulder, making sure that she was looking at him. “Sasha, our children are not problems, and Zoey is a member of my family who I trust one hundred percent with our babies, okay?” He grinned, before standing up straight. “She’s going to come over so we can get dressed up and go out and have a nice meal and a drink at a nice restaurant, and not have to worry about diapers and crying for a couple of hours. So get moving.” He started to make his way over to the stairs along with her, looking down at his work clothes with a feigned look of hurt in his eyes. “What, do you think Supernova wouldn’t like grease all over their nice upholstery? Get, woman.” He gestured her away with a wave of his hands before following her upstairs.

After the two had had their showers and had gotten dressed, Jack had been waiting downstairs with a beer in his hand. He was wearing a nice pair of jeans and a smart shirt with a jacket thrown over the top, and he had to admit, he couldn’t stop looking at himself in the mirror. A smile broadened over his face as his attention moved to the blonde that came into the room, and he made his way over to her, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek. “Put the toys down, and let’s go. Zoey’s already in the kitchen ordering herself some dinner, and we don’t want to start the kids off. Quietly, out the door.”

[jxck-cxrlyle]

“Right!” Jack beamed as he grabbed the remove from the sofa and turned off the TV show that Sasha was watching a playful grin on his lips. “I’ve texted Zoey and asked her to come over and watch the kids tonight, she’ll be over in about an hour. You have that amount of time to get up, get showered and dressed into something pre-baby from your wardrobe, and I’m taking you out for a nice dinner at Supernova.”

At Jack’s threat she rolled her eyes playfully and laughed lightly. “Not like that, Jack,” she promised. “I haven’t been with anyone since Theo. I just — I don’t think people see me that way, you know? I’m the sweet girl that is always willing to help, but I’m not the sexy one or someone who is sought after. I’m okay with it. The right person will find me eventually, but it does get lonely sometimes.” There were moments where she wished she could go home to someone who was just excited to see her after her day. While she loved her home, freedom, and family, she just longed for that feeling so many people have experienced. “You have my number. Anytime is great. You two need to keep your sanity too.” Raising one baby could be a handful. Twins just sounded like another monster all together. “I swear, you’re crazy. I don’t need to make millions. I just need my work to touch someone. If my work makes just one person somewhere happy or inspires them to add their creativity to the world, then I’m happy. You know I don’t need a lot.”

“Well, that’s no fun. Elena isn’t going to be dating until she’s at least 40 years of age, so I’ll have to just keep whacking your partners instead.” Jack replied, before then he took a step back and shook his head. “One, please don’t use that word around me. I don’t ever want to associate you and that word together in one sentence. However, you’re beautiful and if people don’t see it yet, it’s because they’re the wrong people.” He picked up his lunch and took a bite of the sandwich, nodding his head in delight as he savoured the taste. “As always, great sandwich Zo.” He beamed, finishing it in three bites - he was a hungry man after all. “I know I know, but you have so much potential to make it big with your artwork. Obviously, it making someone happy or inspiring someone is what you want to do with it, but imagine doing that on a worldwide scale. Zo, you could be famous!”
