Brig: Thank you for the flowers, C. They smell lovely.

Yeah, I mean, I guess I’m doing pretty well for myself. The relationship can be a ton of work to be honest. Long nights of talking and exhausting fights and making up or whatever. I’m working through it. Downside to the kid, but I’m sure you’ll find someone, Brigs. You’re a pretty nice example of a MILF.

I guess so.

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

Trouble in paradise? If you’d ever like to talk about it, I’m around. Though that may cause more trouble than good. Still, the offer is there if you need it. I’m not a MILF to you, more like a...MYHF. Many times. Which is why there was a kid. Maybe I’d have better luck with older men.

An adorable shit show that I love very much. And a shit show that needs his diaper changed...so I’ll be right back.

Well yeah I know. And that’s great, Briggers. I’m happy for you. Seems like you’re doing really well for yourself. 

Yeah, I’ll talk it over with Jax and get back to you. I don’t want you to have to fly with Mathew. Babies on planes are never really an ideal situation.

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

I could say the same for you. I mean, you’ve got it all. A steady relationship, a freelance modeling job and a healthy sex life. The kid kind of kills the sex life or the relationship. It sends men running the other way.

Babies on planes are shit shows, and I’m his mother so I’m allowed to call Matthew a shit show whenever I damn well please.

Well...I think? He wants to meet Matty.

Obviously. I mean, look at me. I mean, I would’ve kept it a secret if you’d have asked me to, but that’s not important now. I assume Raoul knows now?

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

Or alternately you would have accidentally said something about your nephew on a whim because you were so excited, and that would have been incredibly messy. He does.

Oh, Brig…. he’s beautiful…

… Why didn’t you tel us, though? I would’ve flown in to help, to be there.

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

You know what they say. Beautiful parents, beautiful kids.

And you know, I really didn’t want the news to spread around before I had a chance to tell Raoul on my own. You know our family has many talents, but keeping secrets is not one of them.

His name is Matthew, but I call him Matty. There’s a picture of him down below if you’d like to get a look at your nephew.

What have you been up to? Tell me everything!

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

Besides work, there’s really not much to tell besides the usual work stuff. I’ve got a house with walking distance of the beach so that’s pretty picturesque. I like to wake up before the sun rises and watch. There’s nothing really like it.

Oh, and I had a kid so I’ve been up to lot’s of shitty parenting.

Always! Gonna be singing one of my new songs on DWTS tomorrow so I’m staying with Zeke but he’s at dance practice a lot so it’s been quiet. Visited gran and grandpa yesterday and that’s been it. How are you!~?

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

My two famous extremely talented siblings. Thank god one of us is normal. It balances things out. Things are great. Croatia is beautiful. I love it here, it’s always warm and sunny. A far cry from Canada.

Things are good. I’m good, hardly have a minute of downtime to myself either, so I sympathize.

That hasn’t happened in a while.

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

Keeping busy, little sister?

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

[simplehello-endingwithgoodb-blog]

set-myspiritfree:

Oh… Croatia? That’s sort of random isn’t it? Well… I could come there… I mean, I’m just doing freelance modeling jobs and not really under contract so I could make a trip. I’d, uh, have to talk it over with Jax but maybe we can make this work before I go to New York.

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

I know it’s been a while, but I am the person that jet sets off to Mexico or Australia on a whim. I have a job here though. I’m doing freelance photography, so Croatia is home base for at least the next six months until I get a job somewhere else. 

I could make the trip back to Scotland if need be...but I’d really rather not fly with Matty unless I have to.

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

set-myspiritfree:

I just didn’t know what to say or how to say it… I was never good at writing, more of a talker. 

Mathew… Can I see him?

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

And after that, not telling you just seemed easier. I figured if you wanted anything to do with me, you would have written back.

I’d love for you to see him. I’m just...not in Scotland. I’m in Croatia.

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

Did I really have any other choice? I wrote you at Christmas. I was going to tell you then, but I never heard back from you.

...But yes, our son. His name is Matthew.

set-myspiritfree:

Oh yeah? Got a soft spot for the kid?

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

Hah, yeah. You could definitely say that.

...I gave birth to him two months ago, so I bloody well should have a soft spot for my son. Our son, actually.

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

[simplehello-endingwithgoodb-blog]

Cute kid, Briggers. He’s stylin’ in that beanie.

[set-myspiritfree-blog]

Of course. Matty boy deserves only the best.
