Aurora wouldn’t admit it ever but that did hurt. No matter what she did, her baby was the most important. Her hormones were all over the place, she was holding it in from completely losing it on her ex-boyfriend. “Were you always this much of a dick? I’m warm to people I like and that doesn’t include you, Kennedy.” She bit down on her bottom lip, wanting to do her best to keep calm. It was weird seeing him again after all these years. The last time they spoke, she was a completely different person. Now, her main priority was her baby, nothing else matters. “I needed to get away and Eureka seemed perfect. Pop isn’t doing too bad, working hard but what else do you expect? Mum is doing this thing in Hong Kong.” She raised her eyes at his request, running a hand through her hair, showing the lack of engagement ring that she had always worn. Now, she kept it on a long necklace, never letting anyone see it. She still cared for the father of her child, though knew the chance of them getting back together was a complete and utter zero chance.

"I think you and I both know that I used to be much worse." Noah replied. He knew that he was out of line, but lately everything just seemed grey. In the few months since Annabelle had skipped town, Noah hadn't given himself the chance to care about much. Suddenly, he was face to face with the only other girl he'd ever been real about. It was confusing. Noah ran a hand through his hair. His request for dinner was met with silence. He raised his eyes to meet hers and sighed, "-look, I'm so sorry. I really am... You've caught me at a weird time of year and in a weird place. It's coming up on the anniversary of my brother- you know." His voice trailed off. He wasn't sure if Aurora would even remember what a weird time of year it was for him. The anniversary of his brother's death always hit hard. "- but it's not an excuse. I think we both know that I owe you more than one apology. Let me buy you dinner to at least try and make up for part of that."

“Fuck,” Ajax laughed. “I thought I had that one. You think I’d be a great liar or aware of tells being a cop.”

"Sorry to burst that bubble man, your poker face is awful." Noah teased, showing Ajax his hand. "Just thank god that you're on the boring side of the law." He teased, "-with a giveaway like that you'd last two seconds in a courtroom."

[noah-kennedy]

        “what…? you mean this isn’t a diner?” she gestured to the building that was very obviously, a law firm. there was definitely no mistaking it for a diner. he knew that. she knew that he knew that. and he knew that she knew that he knew that. and she knew that he knew that she knew that he— “alright whatever, i came for the free wifi, sue me. oh wait…” peggy smirked into her sleeve at the pun. “get it ‘cause it’s a law firm…sue…law?” at least she thought it was funny.

Noah couldn't help but laugh and roll his eyes at the awful pun in spite of himself. "Don't tempt me." He teased, raising a brow at the girl. "I can't exactly blame you. I can't seem to get good internet anywhere else in this city. Come through to the back with me and I'll get you the actual password." Noah grinned, beckoning for the brunette to follow him.

“It was… Sudden - to say the least.” Reina replied, unsure of how exactly she was able to even expand on that. “She sort of jumped me. It was a weird situation.” She explained. As she went on to talk about all that she needed from him, Reina rolled her eyes playfully when he said that the truth had come out. She shook her head at him, “I don’t need a new identity. The one I have is fine - as far as I know Reina Chen continues to be dead and my family believe that.” At least, she hoped. “I need mine. If you happen to find Helena Chen’s then even better. As far as I know, I was born the 27th November, 1991. That might be a lie, who knows? But I’m pretty certain that’s one of the few things I actually wasn’t lied to about.”

"I can get a lot of what I need from yours under the pretence of sorting out your will. The rest? I can come through, just don't ask me how. Just give me a week or two." Thankfully, there were a few guys in federal departments who owed him a few favours. "In the mean time, email me every piece of information I can use to search through those records... birthdays, names - your mother's maiden name. If you've got photos or anything I can use to identify them, it makes the whole process quicker." He explained, glancing over at her. He was still a little worried about her. " - pleasant conversations aside, how are you healing up?"

reina-chen:

“You know one of the first things she said to me was that if she wanted to she could screw me over so, you might get to hang out with her - but piss her off and I don’t think it’ll end well for you.” Reina teased. True, Reina had also gotten rather defensive, even threatened her twin and after all the shit that she had been through, it was hardly surprising but it was still a threat back nonetheless. She looked up at Noah now, a smirk pulling on her lips, “You wish it was a 3am visit.” Reina pointed out though her smirk faded a fraction and she fell away from that playful woman that she once was. “It might’ve been - but I also figured we could catch up.” A pause. A consideration and Reina leaned forward. “But after all this stuff with my sister… I guess fate knew I was gonna need a favour. Is there like… Records, Birth certificates or whatever that can be logged as far as ‘91? My parents never told me anything about my birth except for my name and my birthday… All this now - I need to know more information. For all I fucking know, they might not even be my parents just like her.” Somehow, Reina found this hard to believe but honestly? Life had taught her that the possibilities were endless.

"Is that true? I like her already." Noah laughed, setting the menu back down on the table. "How did you come across her?" He was interested in why he'd been asked to meet her here, figuring it was for some kind of favour - he and Reina didn’t exactly 'hang out'. Theirs was a strange friendship indeed - not that Noah minded, though he'd come to be even more closed off since Annabelle had left town. "The truth comes out." He teased, leaning forward so that they wouldn't be heard. The last thing he needed was more suspicion. "It shouldn't be a problem. I can get you a whole new identity if you like... as for getting old records... that can sometimes be trickier. It depends on the situation. Do you need yours or someone else? And how far back do you need me to go?"

kiaravasilev:

“Oh, damn it! I was hoping the deeper I got into it, the better it’ll be.” Kiara laughed, “Well, apparently it’s happened to one of my students a few times.”

"I've never understood the need to blame it on the dog. Cats are much shadier animals in my opinion - much more likely to mess with my education."

Irreplaceable || Aurora + Noah

[noah-kennedy]

aurorarosebeaumont:

Aurora had two personalities most of the time- bitchy and occasionally being nice to a few people. It had changed slightly from getting pregnant, feeling more negative than she used to do. Noah was someone who she did care about, even though she was annoyed at him right now. The male was someone who introduced her to American life and was a special part of her life. “You’d consider Aurora to be hard to spell? You know, I do really do feel for you. Aren’t lawyers supposed to be clever.” She shot out, not wanting him to have the last word. She noticed him stop, even if it was barely any time. She placed a hand on her stomach, “I know it is. She’s not even here yet and already I love her more than anyone else.” She didn’t know what was going on but she felt she needed to say stuff like that, showing that she wasn’t doing so bad. “Right, I’m renting out a house. Dad is paying for it,” She replied, knowing the male knew about her hotel chain. She raised her eyebrows as Noah sat down. “I’m so glad about that. Well, I’m currently doing nothing, waiting for the nugget to get here. I’m doing a few things for Dad though with the business.”

" - and isn't pregnancy supposed to bring out some kind of warm, nurturing side?" Noah shot back before he could hold himself back. "I'm sorry, that was low." He held his hands up in surrender, watching as she placed her hand on her stomach. Times had most certainly changed since their carefree college days. He couldn't help but wander about the guy she was with. Last Noah had heard, she was engaged - he would have to be quite the man to be able to land Aurora. Then again, he'd managed somehow. "That's awesome? How is your Dad doing?" He asked suddenly, remembering how well he'd gotten on with her family. "In that case, we should catch up properly sometime," Noah offered, wanting to extend some kind of an olive branch. "Are you free at all for dinner this week?"

[noah-kennedy]

reina-chen:

“I’m not lying to you, who lies about bumping into their identical twin come on, you think I’m THAT bad at lying? Besides, how long were you waiting? Like ten minutes? Jesus Noah, I didn’t know you were so needy.” Reina teased as she settled herself down, pulling off her jacket before picking up the menu. “I thought you’d be happy. Finding out I’m a twin means there’s double of my face for you to gawk at. You’re welcome.”

"Fifteen - and no excuses." Noah chuckled, passing her a menu before turning back to his own. " - maybe I should be hanging out with her. I'm sure she's far more punctual." He grinned, shooting her another wink. "Why are you wining and dining me anyway? Usually it's just a dodgy text or a surprise 3am visit." He teased, his tone turning serious for a moment. "Seriously though, if this is some sort of attempt at a thank-you for those papers, you don't have to. I was happy to help."

[noah-kennedy]

sebgrosvenor:

“Oh, seriously mate! It was a great excuse. I can’t help the fact that I’m probably going to be busy tomorrow with a girl. It always happens.”

"Aren't we being optimistic?" Noah teased with a laugh, "-what's that frat boy saying about bros coming first? Besides, how often do you get a chance to let me take all your money in a poker match?"

aurorarosebeaumont:

Aurora had her hands clutched around her expanded stomach, feeling the baby kick. Honestly, it was the only thing that was keeping her calm and not want to have a go at Noah right now. It had been a long time since they had broken up, but the male had been a huge part of her life. It was completely unexpected, she hadn’t expected it from them. She had known she was his longest relationship but after almost a year together, she hadn’t expected it to end so suddenly. She did know, however, she wouldn’t be expecting a baby if he hadn’t have left. She wouldn’t have met her ex-fiance so knew it needed to have happened. 

She let out more of a grimace than a smile, taking a sip of the coffee she had. “Wow…At least you remembered my name..” She rolled her eyes, though didn’t say anything about him approaching her. Most people who knew her before the pregnancy had said just how much better she looked, finally having a bit of meat of her naturally slim body. “Yes, I know I do. Pregnancy does that for you,” She replied, getting that out more for a shock factor. She knew Noah would’ve never have expected that. “I arrived a few weeks ago. I’ve not been bad, what about you?”

And there it was. The snarky sarcasm he'd expected and more than certainly deserved. Noah honestly couldn't blame her, though he would never let on that he actually saw her side of the story. "It took me long enough to learn how to spell it. Maybe we'd have a different scenario if your name were Emily." He shrugged, laughing as she rolled her eyes. He just couldn't help himself. Noah's usually cool demeanour slipped when she mentioned that she was pregnant - stopping him in his tracks for a fraction of a second. He managed to hide a slight gasp behind an exaggerated yawn, forcing a smile instead. "uh, congratulations! That's awesome." It was a strange thought, Aurora having a child, not one he'd envisioned. How was one supposed to react to the news of an ex having a baby? Suddenly he was filled with a curiosity about her life. "I'm glad to hear it - where are you staying?" He smiled, taking the seat opposite her (in part because he knew it would annoy her). "I'm doing well. I've actually been working as a criminal defence attorney here in town for about two years now. I really love it. What are you doing with yourself these days?"

[noah-kennedy]

kiaravasilev:

Kiara pouted, “Can’t you at least pretend to believe me? I might be busy.”

"I don't buy it for a second. No valid excuse can be that elaborate." He chuckled, "Did the dog eat your homework too?"

[noah-kennedy]

sephyflynn:

“It’s really not an excuse! I’m working tonight. I’m sorry about that..”

"Tomorrow night then? One drink? I promise this bar will blow your socks off."

Irreplaceable || Aurora + Noah

Aurora had been in Eureka for around a month now and was slowly starting to get used to the new pace of life, away from her family business. She was pleased that her parents had let her do her own thing for the next year or so, allowing her to raise her baby the way she wanted to without any interruptions. She was sat down on one of the benches in the park, taking pictures from around. Photography was probably the one and only thing that the brunette felt calmed her down. She was generally the most relaxed, especially when she went back to hers and made each one better. All she tended to go on her laptop was edit them to put on her fast-growing blog.

As she zoomed in, a figure came into view, a figure who she well recognised. Noah. They had dated in her first year of Harvard, before meeting her fiance and things seemed to be good with them. They had a lot of fun together and she did genuinely care about the older man. She was shocked after he suddenly dumped her before her second year of university, unable to even try doing a long-distance relationship. She was over him, even if she felt that the way things were left weren’t completely over. She put down the camera. “Hello, Noah.”

Noah was taking a rare break from work. Having finished a major case the day before, his week was looking significantly lighter already. A familiar voice rang out as Noah stepped into the cafe, causing him to turn around to see who it was. It wasn't a completely unusual occurrence for Noah to run into an ex. He knew that in the way he went about his life, it was something that was bound to happen from time to time - though there was one particular brunette he'd hoped to avoid for a while. The guilt of their break up was still one that twinged whenever her memory cropped up in his mind. Sure enough, they were now face to face. Aurora. The only woman who had successfully got him to commit - the same girl he'd run from the second that things had gotten difficult. 

 Burying his discomfort, Noah instead flashed her a smile - though he was yet to see one from her. "Aurora! Wow... hey." He chuckled, taking a step toward her. He had to admit, she looked great. She was the last person he'd ever expected to see, especially here of all places. It was all coming back to him now, especially the awful way he'd handled the end of their relationship. In truth, Noah was surprised she wasn't more hostile, though it had been more than three years. "You look fantastic... I had no idea you were in Eureka. How have you been?"

[noah-kennedy]

“If you’re going to lie to me, you’re going to need to come up with a better excuse than that.” Noah chuckled, an amused look on his face.
