If anyone asked, Cassie always said she worked nights as a bartender. Really she doubted people would want her teaching dance classes to their kids if they knew she was a stripper to help make ends meet. It wasn’t like she was ashamed of what she did, it was more she didn’t want to deal with other peoples opinions. Plus it wasn’t like the club was in the best part of town so she doubted any of those uptight people would be coming down here, and if they did they wouldn’t want their spouse knowing about it. But the money was decent and she got her rent paid. Only tonight she’d gone in and her name was crossed off the list which had clearly happened some time after she’d left the night before. A frown took over her features as she grabbed her bag and headed through the club that was still getting ready to open and upstairs to the office. 

Maybe it was because her boss seemed to be a little sweet on her the blonde was confident enough to just walk into his office because she never would have done it otherwise. She was aware of the backroom deals going on and that the club was more to clean money and less to make it. So without knocking she walked into the room and looked at the man behind the desk. “So did I get fired and no one told me? Because I was on the list to work tonight and suddenly my name is crossed out with no private parties. So whats up? I have rent to pay.”

It was almost funny how quickly Cass started to dislike Trent’s job. Really she’d never been the biggest fan of him running into burning buildings but things had taken a dive when she got pregnant. There was suddenly someone else that he had to be there for and what if he wasn’t? It had meant a lot of sleepless nights waiting for him to come home or watching the news to see if there were any fires that he would have been sent to. But she couldn’t ask him to leave, she refused to be that person because she loved him far too much to try and change him. But now that the baby was here she had become a much lighter sleeper. It wasn’t just waking up for the baby it was being aware of when he wasn’t in bed next to her. 

So when she felt the bed sink slightly her hand moved out and she wrapped her fingers around Trent’s shirt. “Don’t wake up the baby.” The blonde mumbled before shifting closer to him. “I let him sleep in here again.” They’d moved the little boy into the nursery a few weeks earlier but even at six months old she wasn’t ready to not have him in the bassinet by the bed.

@aj-writesss​ liked for a starter.

“are you mad at me, really?” she looks incredulous, which in reality she never, ever is. a scoff follows through, arms crossing against her chest. “i just saved you an entire evening’s worth of fake laughter, a thank you wouldn’t go amiss...”

Things certainly hadn’t gotten easier within these six months of their finalization. Watching the interaction between Elise and their children broke her heart every time but she would never admit that out loud. At this point she wasn’t sure if their lives were any easier because it got hard for her to even say goodbye to their children when her week was up. And the drunk text messages recently between them didn’t help matters at all. If anything they made everything more confusing. “Thank you for letting me know. I will definitely get that model done with him. You know me when it comes to school work.” She remarked. The brunette did want to talk about the text messages but right now wasn’t exactly the best time. Especially since they were exchanging children and Isabella didn’t want to confuse them more. “Is Maria’s field trip this week or next week?”

          elise  nodded  knowingly  ,  fingers  drifting  through  the  young  boy’s  curly  hair.  he  was  a  good  student  ,  just  as  she  had  been.  and  although  she  and  isabella  had  their  differences  ,  they  agreed  on  most  things  when  it  came  to  parenting.  education  was  a  priority  ,  but  not  to  the  extent  that  it  caused  any  unnecessary  stress  on  their  children.  if  they  were  struggling  ,  they  would  always  have  access  to  help.  “  it’s  this  friday  ,  ”  she  answered.  “  the  bus  is  leaving  at  eight  ,  and  it’ll  be  back  around  two.  ”  if  it  were  her  week  ,  she  would’ve  volunteered  to  chaperone  ,  but  she  didn’t  want  to  overstep.  she  knew  ,  of  course  ,  that  she  had  a  right  to  be  there  for  her  daughter’s  first  field  trip.  but  so  did  isabella  ,  and  she  wasn’t  exactly  sure  where  they  stood  with  one  another  at  the  moment.  “  you'll  probably  need  to  pack  her  a  lunch.  i  forgot  to  ask  if  they'll  have  access  to  anything  kosher.  ”

“ the doctor said it could be worse. ” - Trenton & Cassandra

@aj-writesss

Even with their son cuddled up against his side Cassie didn’t want to look at Trent at the moment. It wasn’t the first time they’d been in a hospital room after an accident at work but it was the first time since Liam was born. Their son who seemed oblivious to what was going on and was just happy to be cuddled. “If that’s your attempt at making me feel better, it’s not going to work.” As soon as she’d put the little boy down on the hospital bed she took a step back and ran her fingers through her hair. “You want to know what kind of visit I don’t want at the bar? Your Captain coming in to say you were hurt and he didn’t want to tell me over the phone. I mean yeah I’m thankful he came to pick me up and let me grab Liam before we came here but don’t give me that bullshit of it could have been worse. Worse is you dead.” She pointed out before shaking her head. Really she’d known from the beginning that being with a firefighter was going to be hard but having a baby with him made it harder. Hell they hadn’t even had their wedding yet. “He told me you went back in, why would you do that?”

Delta, without fail, was up and ready every morning before the sun. Going for a run at six in the morning with her dog was just routine at this point. Her Vizsla certainly needed the exercise, and considering one of her jobs was now teaching a university track team, she liked to keep very much in shape. She ran trails that weren’t for the faint of heart (beginners), and trails certainly not popular at that time in the morning. Needless to say, a couple surprises struck Delta when she saw someone else running the trail.

The first being that someone else was running this early. The second, was that it was another woman, and she was all about women being badass. The third, however, was what threw her off guard at the most inconvenient time. She wasn’t running full speed, but at minimum, it was half. Her dog, Echo, was trained to run back to her side when someone else was on the path. Something she certainly wasn’t paying attention to; because the third realization was how positively beautiful this woman was.

The end result could be considered rather tragic in an embarrassing sense. Delta not only tripped over her dog, but flew right into the other woman, colliding with her. Considering she was wearing just a sports bra and shorts, most of her body was exposed to the harsh ground as she slid against it after the fall. “Totally my fault!” She owned up with a groan, mentally making a check of her body to make sure everything was mostly okay; it checked out, but she was a little too embarrassed to move just yet. Her dog seemed fine, too, switching between the excitement of meeting a new person and the worry of Delta falling – by taking turns licking both their faces.

It would drive her father crazy if he knew how comfortable Vida was having someone sneak around the house in the middle of the night. But really if someone made it through all that security they deserved to get their hand son Vida and Rafael. Not that it was anyone but her boyfriend coming home after whatever work he was doing that night. She might know what her father did for work and where all of their money came from, but she was never included in anything. Her boyfriend was a different story. Opening her eyes she looked towards the door as he entered the room but she didn’t say anything. Before he’d gone out she’d told him if he missed dinner to sleep on the couch so now it was just waiting to see if he was going to try and get into the bed because she seemed to be asleep or not

So when she felt the bed move as he got into it she finally rolled over to face him. “No.” The brunette shook her head as she looked at him. “Couch. That was what I told you. You’d be sleeping on the couch if you were late... and you’re really really late.”

It was normal for Cass to go to bed alone on a pretty regular basis. That was what happened when Trenton’s shifts included a good amount of the night. But she knew he’d be there when she opened her eyes in the morning. As long as he was safe she didn’t mind sleeping alone. So her favorite nights tended to be the ones where she woke up to the bed dipping as he slipped in behind her. All that really mattered was that he showered if there had been a fire because it was almost impossible to get that smell out of the sheets and she really couldn’t stomach it. “You’re home.” She mumbled before rolling over to face him. A sleepy smile covered her lips as she looked at him before her fingers dusted over his cheek. “I thought your shift went till seven? It’s still dark out.”

The last time she’d gotten up for the baby had been at two and there was no way she’d slept for over four hours already. “Are you okay?”
