Delicate

Chloe Alpin. 17. His mercy flows in wave after wave.. - Luke 1:50 Soon to be mother. Gods child. Good things come in small packages and the unknown is not as scary as it seems when He is on your side.

They absolutely and rightfully were! I am grateful for that though. It wasn’t the same without you. I’ve never done it before, but I have to imagine it’s pretty tough. Do you? That’s wonderful to hear though! I need to come see you– I’m a great tipper. I’m glad you actually enjoy it; that’s really important! Oh, good. I just wanted to be sure, you know. Thank you! Yeah, we really are. Except that my mom told me I can’t date him, so… we’re having to be quieter about it.

I don’t think it would be the same without any girl that is on the team. I mean we’re like meant to be there, you know? I’m just glad that things are getting back to semi-normal and that we don’t have to really worry about it anymore. I do! It’s been pretty amazing and I think everyone tips pretty big just because I’m pregnant. I guess that’s a perk, right? Wait, why can’t you date him?

Chloe! Not well but I’m alive and still have access to my arsenal of video games, weed, and alcohol so that’s a plus. My mom will speak to me when necessary and my dad hasn’t spoken to me in a while.

PRIVATE

I know you have everything going on and I’m sorry that I’ve not been checking in on you. Life has been complete shit and I hate that i went so long without really speaking to you. How are you? 

Hey as long as you have access to all of those things then I consider that a major plus! Well, they suck just like my parents do and I’m sorry that you’re having to deal with that still.

PRIVATE

Don’t apologize, Brad. I know that life hasn’t exactly been the nicest to you or me considering everything that has happened so it’s only natural for you to want to take some time and just figure everything out, you know? I just miss you and hanging out like we used to. I’m good, yeah. I mean as good as I can be, you know. My emotions are kind of all over the place but the doctor thinks it’s the hormones or whatever flowing through my body so I’m blaming it on that.

I bet that felt good.

You should give yourself more credit, Chlo. You are a kickass mom-to-be, with or without my support. Well, Merrick would still be pissed as all hell if I were the baby’s dad, but I suppose it would be simpler. I have to ask, though—as the current interim pseudo baby daddy, do I get a say in naming the kid?

Oh, it felt amazing.

I want to believe that but it doesn’t feel like that at times. I’m kind of just surviving at the moment. She would be but it would probably hurt less if it was you rather than her own father so I would have much rather had the wrath of that. But of course. By the day, your pseudo baby is a girl.

An emotional breakdown I get. But we both know you’ll be captain next year - even with the drama, everyone still likes you best. You’ll put the good of the team before everything else. And with Holly graduating early, maybe they’ll let you be captain from the sidelines.

Oh. Just groovy. Life’s been great. How’s the baby? Do you know if I’m gonna have a sister or a brother yet?

I think I’ve had too many emotional breakdowns to count but yeah. I’m not so sure about that considering who the other contenders for captain are, but fingers crossed that maybe I’ll get it. I don't’ even know if I’ll be on the team next year - I’m just trying to take things one day at a time right now.

It sure seems like it from what I can tell. The baby is good - growing bigger than ever. You are going to have a little sister.

[riversidechlo]

goodgollymisshollywood‌:

Not a problem, you can pass the info along to whoever takes over as captain now that I’ve stepped down.

Don’t thank me…she’s…family I guess. Besides what’s done is done, there’s no point in being miserable and aggravated by things that can’t be changed - it wastes too much energy.

Who knows if there is even going to be a captain now. I mean nobody can live up to the infamous Holly Wood.

You’re right about that, but I wouldn’t blame you for still being angry and upset about it. If I could go back and change things, I would.

I’ve officially popped and I can’t see my toes anymore but I can feel baby girl Alpin moving around a lot more lately, which is exciting. I get to see the baby again next week and I can’t wait. #notmuchlonger

Anytime, Chlo. Well lets be fair, you really weren’t ever off, at least not by anyone who actually matters. But I get that completely, it dots that last i and crosses that last t. Are you? That’s really good then, I’m glad to hear it, and let’s keep it that way okay?

I’m doing okay, holidays were really good. Really needed, honestly. I’m still a little numb as far as things are with how the season ended, and especially now that graduation is starting to loom honestly. But about as well as I can be though, you know?

You may have a point there, to be honest, but like you said it dots the last i and crosses the last t which is what is needed. I am and I’m hoping that it stays that way, too. So far so good, right?

It’s kind of crazy to think about how the season ended and everything else kind of coming to a close but hey this just means that the next chapter in the book is going to be even more amazing! Have you thought about what you were going to do after graduation?

[riversidechlo]

merrickwood‌:

I’m surprised Garland made you work for it; we all know that when you’re back to form, you’ll be the captain next year. 

Good luck dealing with Wagner - if you feel like putting some laxatives in her water bottles, I don’t think anyone would really complain.

I kind of went into it begging so I’m sure if I had just talked to her about it, she would have put me back on no problem but I had an emotional breakdown and yeah. I sure hope so; the captain has always been a goal of mine.

I only deal with her when I have to. Other than that, I tend to just steer clear of her and work with Coach G. If I do decide to get some revenge, I’ll come to you. How have you been?

[riversidechlo]

goodgollymisshollywood‌:

You probably wont have to deal with her all that much anyway, Coach G’s the one with all the power, Wagners basically been reduced to a lackey. Not too often that you’ll be constantly turning up on her doorstep, sleep deprived and cursing her existence but often enough that it warranted mentioning.

That’s kind of exciting, although I’m not actually sure I wanna think of the baby as something similar in size to something I ate over christmas break kinda frequently. And you’re good for everything? I know my Ma has been checking in but I figure it doesn’t hurt to check again?

Yeah, there haven’t been too many issues with Wagner yet so I’m hoping that it stays this way so that I don’t have to stress about her. Well, thank you for giving me a heads up. I appreciate that.

I always found it a little odd that they compare the baby to food, but all the websites that I look at have it so I’m trying to embrace it though it just makes me laugh. Yeah, yeah I’m okay. Your mom has been very generous and kind to me. I know this still hasn’t been the easiest thing to process, but thank you for checking up.

[riversidechlo]

cheerstokit‌:

No, I get that, and I’m still pissed it ever happened. We all want you there. I’m really glad though. Hey, just being honest! Did you? Is the job going alright? If you need anything, just say the words. Don’t work yourself too hard either, alright? Mine were pretty good, thank you. Had a peaceful break from my mom, snuck in a lot of time with Connor. That’s about it.

I think everyone on the team was pissed about it but thankfully Wagner didn’t get her way for long and I’m back. It’s going alright. I mean I never understood how hard it could be to the waitress but I love it. I have some regular customers that come in and talk to me about the baby and life and it’s kind of nice. Oh, trust me I’m not. I don’t actually work much but just enough and Rosie doesn’t ever make me work harder than I need to. That’s awesome, Kit. You and Connor are good and happy?

[riversidechlo]

antagcnisms‌:

I’m a little surprised you actually had to beg and Coach G didn’t just reinstate you on the spot out of principle—and as a fuck you to Wagner—but that’s great news! I’m glad things are going well for you.

I’m still here if you need anything, okay? I’ll even go for prenatal classes with you if that’s what you need. Pretty sure half the nurses at the clinic already think I’m the baby’s dad anyway, so.

I kind of went in there begging and she was really sweet about it and kind of glared at Wagner when she was putting me back on the team so overall it was really good. And I’m happy to at least be back on the squad where I knew I belonged, but thank you.

I know you are, Lo. You’ve been the biggest support through it all despite everything that you know. I don’t know what I would have done without you during this, honestly. I’m sure they do and sometimes I wish you were the baby’s dad. It would make life so much simpler, you know?

[riversidechlo]

cranecrusaider‌:

Nope. I haven’t been in school since last Thursday. Let’s just say that a new Dragon Ball Z game and my best pal Goku needed me more than Pre-Cal. 

I feel like I haven’t seen you in like a decade. How are you holding up?

[riversidechlo]

cheerstokit‌:

I’m so happy to hear this, Chloe! You know you’re a part of the team no matter what, right? We’re all gonna have more spirit now that you’re back with us! How have you been feeling? Were your holidays alright?

I know but I didn’t feel part of the team especially when Wagner kicked me off but I’m glad to have a place again where I feel like I’m actually helping. You’re too sweet to me, Kit. I’ve been alright, yeah. Holidays were okay - I worked pretty much all the time while we were on break. What about you? How were your holidays?

[riversidechlo]

goodgollymisshollywood‌:

I think Coach G felt sorry for her or possibly saw something worth cultivating, it’s not exactly like she needs a paid assistant. Yeah, unless Coach gets struck with a bolt of inspiration over the weekend, then I pretty much hightail it to her house as early as possible on a Sunday morning, so I guess you’ll have to get yourself prepared for that very likely scenario. 

How’s the baby?

I’m pretty sure that she just felt sorry for her because there would be no other reason for her to keep Wagner otherwise. I’ll deal with her, though. Spontaneous planning sessions? I think I can prepare myself for that if needed as long as I’m not working but I think Coach would understand that. Does she often have random bolts of inspiration that I need to be aware of?

She’s okay. Apparently, the baby is as big as a sweet potato now. I’m still waiting to feel her move inside which is supposed to happen soon according to the books that I’ve been reading.

[riversidechlo]

con-hughes‌:

Aw that’s awesome Chloe, congratulations! That’s great, and though I’m sure everyone still considered you a part of the team still, this makes it even more official. How are you feeling these days?

Thank you, Con. It is so good to be back officially on the squad instead of unofficially being accepted by the girls. It just feels right, you know? I’m feeling good. How are you? How were your holidays?

[riversidechlo]

goodgollymisshollywood‌:

The light at the end of that tunnel probably isn’t gonna seem all that bright after a few weeks spent on the sidelines with Wagner by your side. They really should have fired her. Coach has let you know what days we meet to go over everything right?

No, maybe not with Wagner being around but I’m just glad to be back on the team in any way, shape, or form. I wonder why they didn’t fire her. Yeah, Tuesdays and Thursdays, right?

2019 had to have been one of the most whirlwind years that I have ever had. It was fun, exciting, heartbreaking and everything in between. I’m happy that it’s a new year for new opportunities and memories to be made. In only 4 short months, baby Alpin will be in this world and I can’t be more excited yet nervous.
