one year of being a papa to this little princess down and only the rest of my life to go. i genuinely can’t believe my baby girl is already a year old, walking, babbling and showing off some true torres sass. becoming a father has been the greatest thing to ever happen to me. also, they say it takes a village and mine is large. thanks times a thousand to all the awesome people who have been a part of this year, and hope’s life. she (and i) are lucky to have you all as stand in aunts and uncles (@mason-lfa, @zackjyorke, @zignxvak, @heartbreakfrank, @scorpiophelia, @doctorkcam) and actual aunts and uncles (@brie-atthedisco @damnyouvideogamekid). not to mention her awesome mother (@mamaclarebear) and future step-mother (@prettylittlerivas). i love you all, and i hope you’re ready for another crazy year!

Brie: we're just making plans for after grad. no big deal. they can change, they can stay the same, it's no big.

Brie: we've known each other forever and we're already doing...stuff...so i mean, again, we're just planning!

Brie: i'm excited. c:

Drew: okay well in that case i cant really say much since we both know zoe and i are getting our own place when she graduates

Drew: but also youre saying its no big deal but it is a big deal and you and i also both know that if he backed out and unasked you to move in you'd be devastated so be honest with yourself about it

Drew: well i cant disagree with the universe or whoever and say that you two arent a good match even if i think youre gross so

Brie: gonna rip the bandage off real fast

Brie: kc asked me to move in with him c:

Brie: i mean not now i don't think like more like in 6 months but yeah c:

Drew: isn't that like... moving a little fast

Drew: i mean, i get you're soulmates but you haven't even been dating a month

[papadrewtorres]

@brieatthedisco: i watched my boyfriend study for like an hour today before deciding that maybe i should do the same and now i've studied for my biology test on friday and it's not actually the night before the test and i'm so ???? like this is an existential crisis in the making. thx kc.

@papadrewtorres: @brieatthedisco the conflict between concern about my baby sister being over at her boyfriend's apartment all the time and appreciation that said boyfriend is encouraging her to study??

Zoe:

Zoe: it does. it sounds so nice. like, i wish it could happen sooner. it seems like time is dragging on forever, you know. :\

Zoe: -heart eye emojis-

Drew: i love you

Drew: i feel like that a lot of the time but just think of it this way: we've got the rest of our lives together. and if we take the time that's just more time to plan for a wedding and save up for a place

[papadrewtorres]

Text to Drew.

Zoe: aweh, baby, that's okay. it happens to all of us sometimes. i love hope, and i love helping you take care of her.

Zoe: that's just her face 24/7, i swear. -eye roll emoji-

Zoe: aweh c: soon...so soon...like, look at it this way...two years from right now, at this very moment, we'll be married.

Zoe: and i mean...i wouldn't be opposed to getting engaged whenever you're up to it. ;)

Drew: i can't believe how lucky i am to have you. i mean, and clare and adam and brie and imo and everyone too

Drew: that's good i guess.

Drew: you, me and hope in our own place sounds kinda like the dream right now.

Drew: i'll keep that in mind.

[papadrewtorres]

Text to Drew.

Zoe: yayyyyyy. dad of the year. -crown emoji-

Zoe: for sure :)

Zoe:

Zoe: oh my god. alfkhasd. probably true, though, sadly.

Zoe: yep, then...i mean...if you're down with it, i say we get married summer after graduation and just go from there.

Drew: i honestly feel like i'm barely surviving. and i mean hope has so many people parenting her it's hardly like i'm on my own. i mean, i have imo or you when she's here and clare has her mom and step dad when shes over there. it's hardly all my handiwork. and most of the time i just get lucky. like right now.

Drew: i swear she gives me the death glare every time she sees me

Drew: babe, i'm ready when you are. like a thousand percent.

[papadrewtorres]

Text to Drew.

Zoe: aweh, i bet. i'm sad for her and i'm just reading about it over text. :c

Zoe: maybe try washing her off with the lavender bath stuff again like we did that night she was super restless and wouldn't go to sleep??? maybe that will calm her down a little. :c

Zoe: i would love to be with you all the time.

Zoe: hahaha well i mean, you could always just pitch it to her. i can't promise that it'd go well, but...

Zoe: drewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Zoe: stoppp because you know i'd love to.

Drew: SHE STOPPED CRYING god bless my life

Drew: will keep in mind if she starts freaking out again

Drew: soon

Drew: yeah, i don't think she'd be too into that. she still sees me as the adult man who deflowered her little girl. even if we are soulmates.

Drew: i know i know

Drew: only 2 more years until you turn 18

[papadrewtorres]

Text to Drew.

Zoe: aweh, oh no, that's the worst. :c

Zoe: i mean, i was irritated just having a wisdom tooth break through over summer...i can't imagine like...multiple teeth at once in other places. yikes. :c did you put any of her teethers in the freezer?????

Zoe: asddfghj drew

Zoe: I absolutely would love to, but I'm pretty sure you'd have to fight my mom over that, honestly. Soon, though, babe...like...two more school years. Then, it's just us.

Drew: she's miserable and i hate it

Drew: yeah imo and i have tried basically everything at this point. i think we're just gonna have to sit it out.

Drew: seriously, i would love to have you here all the time.

Drew: i would be willing to fight your mom for that. it wouldn't be the first time.

Drew: two years is soooooooooo long are you sure you don't want to elope

Drew: ignore that i'm not proposing through text

[papadrewtorres]

Text to Drew.

Zoe: oh no, what's wrong???? poor baby. :c

Zoe: i miss you too.

Drew: i think she's teething

Drew: when are you un-grounded? would you like to perhaps just pull a me and suddenly move out and move in with me instead?

[papadrewtorres]

Text to Drew.

Zoe: love how i'm grounded and can't see you but i can still have my phone.

Zoe: my mom's an idiot honestly

Zoe: like SORRY i failed my math test and didn't send my laundry off like i was supposed to in the same week. -eye roll emojis-

Zoe: i'm so mad.

Drew: Hope's been screaming for the past hour so it's probably best you're not here anyway

Drew: I miss you though

So come here. Let me love those bruises out of you. We’ll love like children with a box of bandages- we won’t ask where it hurts. We’ll just kiss all of it.
