DARE: It’s not that, Quinn. You’re more than welcome to ask. We’re friends.

DARE: I hope [DELETED]

DARE: With so much going on I’m just terrified that someone’s gonna hear about you talking to me and...

DARE: It’s bad enough my family hurt you once.

QUINN: I know we are. Maybe that's why it's strange to remember that there are those differences in our lives. The only hierarchy I knew about was me/Hunter/Sebastian > The Founding Families > The Northsiders > and so on (I know how snobby that sounds).

QUINN: Your fa-- Bru--

QUINN: He already did what he wanted just because my mother paid him to. He never had a reason to do anything to me in the past. Why would he care that you and I talk to each other?

QUINN: Darius. I'm sure other people have told you this and i'll just be another drop in the bucket but he-

QUINN: God. Stop being so afraid to say his name! [DELETED]

QUINN: /Bruce/ isn't your family.

QUINN: He may be your father biologically but that doesn't mean anything. He's not your family. Blaine, Charlie, Caroline and Christopher, the Serpents, they're your family. And since friends are family too, then so am I. But him? He's nothing.

DARE: I don’t think so. I’ve known Elliott for a really long time and he can’t stand Derek.

DARE: Quinn. This is gonna sound shitty and I don’t mean it to be, but try not to get involved in gang shit.

DARE: If you got hurt I’d [DELETED]

DARE: I don’t want you to get hurt while I’m trying to find Judy.

QUINN: Good. That's good. I think he may have been worried about becoming like him because of the way he was raised but I know as well as you do, or at least as well as you're starting to, that we don't have to become the worst versions of ourselves.

QUINN: I-- I wasn't.. I didn't mean..

QUINN: I'm sorry.

QUINN: It wasn't my place to ask.

DARE: Its a ranking system like a police force or whatever. When B—my father ran things it was more like a dictatorship. It’s a system like government. Charlie’s second in command or the VP. Elliott is just another person.

DARE: He’s not a prospect, like a newbie trying to become a serpent, and he has seniority. But he can’t be telling someone off like Eliana (I guess like a lieutenant or something if you wanna be political)?

DARE: He is Derek’s brother, yeah. Half brother. I know their mother. She’s a dancer at the burlesque club.

DARE: I don’t ruthlessly order blackening someone’s eyes if that makes sense.

DARE: I dunno how much better I could explain it other than “Elliott was being an ass and someone was gonna kick his ass”

QUINN: Thank you for not saying his na- [DELETED]

QUINN: Aw, the president and the VP. There's something sweet about that. But I can absolutely understand that there's a system in place. It actually sounds like it's a bit more organized than the Ghoulies have it where they all kind of do what they want and simply have one maniac above them.

QUINN: This is probably a stupid question but i'm guessing they aren't in contact? Him and his brother? I know how dangerous Derek is and his vendetta against you. I don't think Elliott would do anything to put you in harm's way but I also don't doubt that Derek would use whatever he could including familial relations to get close.

QUINN: I knew you wouldn't but you never know if someone just took some frustrations out on another person or what but at least it sounds like you knew what happened.

DARE: Nonsense. You can’t prove that.

DARE: Not as good a man you seem to think I am... [DELETED]

DARE: Yeah. You say that a lot.

DARE: It’s unfortunate. I don’t blame the guy for getting shitfaced. But I do blame him for not listening when he was told not to act like a dicknoodle and he did anyway.

DARE: I’m not gonna tolerate any superiority bullshit. But Eliana was trying to make sure he didn’t get hurt and he was bell...[FUCK ME, DELETES - RE-TYPES] he was an ass and rude and shit so she knocked him down.

DARE: You’ve never pissed on a cop? Me neither 👀

DARE: I’m not policing people but you’d better believe if I told him he had enough to drink and he told me to fuck off I’d have to kick his ass.

QUINN: Don't need to prove it. I know it and that's all that matters.

QUINN: Because you've told me plenty of times how wrong I am so I have a lot to make up for.

QUINN: A dic-- I'm not even going there.

QUINN: I guess the same thing typically applies in the military as well. You can't exactly disobey a higher officer without something being done. Is he really Derek's brother?

QUINN: Why do I find that hard to believe?

QUINN: So it's like a system that you have? It's not just like, you're the leader so everyone is even and just listens to you?

DARE: It is. A very sappy one at that.

DARE: I’m truly glad you’ve got them supporting you. Because if not I’m telling you I’d smack some guys into the ground like the hand of god.

DARE: No. definitely not. I’ll skimp on the details because Elliott’s probably embarrassed but he was being an asshole and needed to be stopped. He was asked repeatedly to cut his shit out.

DARE: The situation was more like you’re out being a drunk idiot and a cop tells you to sit down and instead of listening you piss on the cop and he arrests you.

QUINN: And yes something tells me that you like it very much, no matter how much you pretend it's just a show that Charlie watches and nothing else.

QUINN: You know, you're a really good man too, Darius. Thank you.

QUINN: Of course, I wouldn't ask. Though I did hear through the grapevine something about his boyfriend leaving him. I guess alcohol is one of those ways to drown out the pain of losing someone who meant the world to you. The unfortunate thing with alcohol is it never lasts and the hangover is always waiting there with all those hurt feelings.

QUINN: I'm sure you'll find this shocking but I actually haven't been in that situation before :) But I can imagine. He didn't listen to the cop and there was a consequence for it.

DARE: I have a fiancé you know. She likes that kinda stuff. It’s unfortunate but I’ve seen every episode of This Is Us.

DARE: I can agree with that. I just hope there’s some threesomes in our future.

DARE: I mean you didn’t get pregnant by yourself so they’d be epic assholes to just bail on you.

DARE: Not...exactly. Normally there’s not really any disrespect. And if there is we just deal with it. There’s definitely a hierarchy in place, so if someone spat in my face I’d beat their ass.

DARE: So I guess it’s probably less /disrespect/ and more probably Elliott was being shitty and didn’t want to admit it.

QUINN: Since New Year's Eve, let's not play. I'm guessing that's a television show? I don't want tv.

QUINN: You're something else but I very clearly do approve of the whole threesomes thing.

QUINN: They wouldn't have and I know that. Regardless how either of us feel about children, we all talked about it and this is our baby. Not Hunter's, Not Sebastian's, ours. They would have never walked away from that. They're good men, even if they question it from time to time.

QUINN: Oh... I see. I was worried because just blatantly beating someone up for no reason didn't sound likes something you would have approved.

DARE: I mean...I’d love a good hot tub soak. But I get your point. I really hope it helps. Like every movie with pregnant women I’ve ever seen says they have sore feet.

DARE: I don’t have any intention of touching. But I can’t help but look. I’m an ass man through and through.

DARE: Holy shit. Man if they’d of backed out I’d of beaten both their asses. Not in the sexy way either.

DARE: Anything, Q.

QUINN: Do you watch movies with pregnant women very often? I never knew you had such a soft heart 😂

QUINN: I think a lot of problems can come up when boyfriends and girlfriends don't recognize that looking isn't the same as touching. I know both Hunter and Sebastian look -- I know I look -- but at the end of the day, touching is ours.

QUINN: That's the thing. I know they would never have backed out. I think I was just scared that I was ruining their lives because, although it took me a little while to admit it, I knew as soon as Dr. Lopez told me I was pregnant, that I wanted to keep it. But I really appreciate the back up.

QUINN: I was talking to Elliott the other day and he said that he had disrespected someone higher than him and he got two black eyes out of it? Is that really a thing?

[northsidefabray]

DARE: No problem. I thought it might help even though I’m pretty sure you have like, a hot tub in the house.

DARE: Engaged life is weird. Now when I check out someone’s ass I feel bad.

DARE: How are the baby daddies doing?

QUINN: True but who wants to really climb all the way into a hot tub every time they need to relax? There are honestly wonderful and the one for sleep smells amazing! I especially love the scent of lavender.

QUINN: Haha. Well, I'd never want you to feel badly but even in a relationship, eyes will wander. There's nothing wrong with looking at a painting in the Art Museum but security would definitely be called if you touched.

QUINN: Hunter and Sebastian are doing well, thank you for asking. We're all kind of finding our normalcy again. I had a moment of weakness after my first OBGYN appointment. I thought I was doing the right thing and gave them the choice to walk away if they wanted to. It was likely the worst 72 hours of my life. Hormones make you crazy apparently.

QUINN: Hey, I don't know a lot about the Serpent thing but can I ask you something?

QUINN: You are something else, you know that? I love my gift and I have a feeling it's going to get a /lot/ of use over the next couple months. Really, thank you so much.

QUINN: How are you doing? How is life being an engaged man?

[northsidefabray]

Q, I was at the store the other day and thought you could use these. I think?

I mean long story short, I got her siblings back from some terrible people and I asked her to marry me. And she said I needed to be SURE first! While we were recording!

You got her siblings back?! They’re really back? That’s such wonderful news! I’m honestly so happy for the two of you. Ha, of course she did -- she’s a smart woman. I know it’s early but do you two have a date, or an idea of a date? If she needs any help at all, I absolutely love weddings!

[ TEXT ]: I'm starting to think the problem with adulthood is the lack of naps because I woke up this afternoon with what I think just might be the best idea I've ever had. Okay, that's a little far fetched but it's definitely not a bad one. I know it's late notice but are you free tomorrow? If not, when do you think you can make a free day?

[ TEXT ]: It’s odd the things you hated as a kid that you either really love or at least miss as an adult.

[ TEXT ]: Like naps and spankings.

[ TEXT ]: I’m glad you’re getting rest, Q. Just make sure you’re eating too and not only bacon, yes we know how much you like bacon but you can’t only live off of bacon.

[ TEXT ]: And you know I’m always free, whenever you need me to be, especially now. I’ll get someone to cover at the factory and Aiden has the firm in hand by himself.

[ TEXT ]: Just tell me where I need to be.

SEBASTIAN: Just tell me where I need to be.

QUINN: Spankings, Sebastian, really? Since when have we gone that long without indulging in that particular kink? If memory serves me right, as I know it does, you and I have both benefit from a little rough housing and being told how naughty we are. Especially when Hunter gets in his very dominant moods.

QUINN: ...you say this as if you know that I woke up before Hunter, got out of bed while he was still sleeping, cooked up a plate of bacon and am currently sitting on the couch with Great Expectations and a cup of my favorite honey vanilla chamomile tea. Are you spying on me?

QUINN: That really means a lot to me, and i'm always here for you too. Even when I finally get out of my own head and convince myself to go back to work instead of hiding away here like a coward.

QUINN: Yes, so I was thinking that everything has been such a whirlwind lately. Even after the Christmas party and the song, the three of us haven't had many opportunities to just be "us" without also thinking/worrying about the newest addition to our world. Why don't the three of us take today to just have fun? We could go to that place in Greendale we went to last May. Do you remember the one?

QUINN: And it doesn't have to be that. It could be anything honestly. I just want to spend a day with my favorite people in the world.

They are the owners, yes. I’m just helping them run the business. And I’m sure you mean well and your dedication to our town is very impressive. But selling the business is not something we ever considered.

I hope you don’t think I’m suggesting to outright buy your company from your family. Investing is a whole different story and I look forward to discussing those options with your parents. Investing simply gives you the ability to do more with your stage than you could previously. I know it must be intimidating or cause some kind of unease when it comes to the idea that someone like me, with the family that I have, would try to come in and take away what is yours. I assure you, that’s simply not the case. I love going to the theater and enjoying the talent others possess but running the business is not where my strengths lie. If you’ll give me the chance, I’d love to meet for lunch and perhaps discuss it some more with you. Although your fathers own the business and those decisions would be made by them, I have no doubt that you are an extremely important voice in making those decisions and I would never want to cut that out. 

[northsidekitty]

I want to apologize to those who were probably slightly thrown off by how extremely secretive I’ve been lately, but as you see, I’ve had a good reason. But now that it’s all out in the open, I can’t tell you how relieved I am. And happy. Very, very happy. And to top it all off, I have officially bought a new house on the Northside, which is currently in the decoration and furnishing stage. Once everything is ready, I would love to host a dinner for a select few to attend and get to know the most amazing little girl this town has seen.

[northsidefabray]

I am so proud and happy for you, Kitty. I know this was a very difficult time for you to navigate but it gave such a wonderful ending. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you beam as brightly as you are right now and radiating with hatred doesn’t count. If you need any help with decorating, I actually love doing it and I’d be happy to spend an afternoon pretending i’m not jealous that you’re having a glass of wine while we’re looking through all of the options to help make your house feel more like a home. I also can’t wait to meet your little girl.
