Ronan:Who the fuck stole my stash of weed?

Xander: You had a stash of weed and didn’t tell us?

Levi:Why would you think it’s one of us?

Ronan:Because it was there last night when we had Dad Day with the kids while the women went shopping. And by the way, I hate Dad Day. I don’t like Teal alone out there.

Cole:She wasn’t alone, technically.

Aiden:Says the one who was obsessively checking on his wife.

Xander:Says the one who actually took his son and went after his wife.

Levi: Says the one who suggested we all do the same.

Ronan: Bottom line, Dad Day sucks. That’s why I needed the weed. We should do something to stop them from going out alone.

Xander:Nah. Green says they need their alone time away from us and the kids.

Ronan:Away from us?

Levi:Us? As in, ALL OF US?

Xander: I know, right? I didn’t think Kimmy would ever want time away from me.

Aiden: You’re the one everyone needs time away from. And Astor. Nash, too. Levi, sometimes. I’m the only one Elsa doesn’t need time away from.

Cole:Is that why she hid when you went to find her?

Aiden:That’s because she was trying something on and saving it as a surprise. Speak for yourself. Silver hugged Ava and not you.

Cole:It’s the hormones, idiot. She tries to control them in public.

Aiden:Yeah, right.

Xander:*laughing out loud emoji*

Levi:*laughing out loud emoji*

Ronan: *laughing out loud emoji* Now, back to my weed. Who touched it?

Xander:Where did you hide it?

Ronan:Where do you think? Underneath a flower pot. I got the good stuff and hid it from Teal because she doesn’t like its smell in the house. I spent a lot on this stash and got it from overseas. It’s my weekly break.

Cole:What a shame for it to go down the drain.

Ronan:You fucking…

Xander:Uh-oh.

Cole: Remember when you burnt the book that I spent so much time and effort to get from overseas? Well, payback’s a bitch.

Ronan:Connard!

Aiden:As I always say and no one believes me, Cole is a petty little bitch.

The Women’s Group Chat

Kimberly:Can I say that I’m so glad we decided to have our own group chat? The men aren’t the only ones who get that.

Astrid:I had a peek at Levi’s phone by accident the other day and all they do is fight over there.

Silver: Cole says he’s just there because Ronan usually makes a fool out of himself.

Teal: Cole will have me to speak to.

Silver:Oops.

Elsa:And we even have Aurora with us.

Astrid:But Jonathan isn’t with the men in the group chat.

Aurora: Jonathan doesn’t do texting. He only uses emails. He’s a snob that way.

Silver:Imagine if he were there, though. With both Aiden and Levi.

Kimberly: *shivers emoji*

Astrid:We already get that in family dinners. It’s more than enough.

Aurora:Amen to that.

Teal:I think it would be fun.

Elsa:Did you just call that fun?

Teal:Yeah, I mean they’re all part of the same family. It’s even more fun when Jonathan meets Dad and Agnus.

Elsa:More like chaotic.

Aurora:Nah. It’s more than that *winking emoji*

Astrid:What do you mean?

Aurora:Well, now that Jonathan and Ethan are actual friends again, Agnus doesn’t seem to like it.

Elsa:Agnus doesn’t like anyone.

Teal:Hey! That’s not true.

Elsa:Teal, honey, I know Agnus raised you and Knox, but he’s still a psycho.

Teal:He is not. He has a heart underneath it all. You just refuse to see it.

Kimberly:Uh-oh. Ron won’t be happy if he learns you’re defending Agnus.

Teal: You think?

Aurora:Point is, the whole thing between Jonathan, Ethan, and Agnus is a lot more than you girls think. You’ll see.

* * *

Teal:Ronan was complaining about Dad Day earlier and made Remi hold a sign that says ‘Petition to Cancel Dad Day’, signed by all the other kids.

Kimberly: Except for Cecily because she likes that day way too much to even think about cancelling it.

Astrid: They’ll live.

Elsa: They’re just being drama kings. We usually have the kids all the time. They won’t die if they have them once a week.

Silver:It’s less about the kids and more about us. They dislike that we go out alone.

Kimberly:Cole said that?

Silver: He doesn’t have to. I can sense it without him having to say a word. Besides, he was grumbling about it to Papa the other day.

Aurora: Honestly, they will have to suck it.

Astrid: You’re one to talk. Jonathan sends his bodyguards after you if you don’t answer his calls.

Aurora:But I don’t go with them. He’s my husband, not my keeper. He’ll get used to it, eventually.

Elsa:It’s been over ten years, Aurora. I don’t think Jonathan will ever get used to it.

Aurora: Well, neither will I.

Kimberly: I feel bad for leaving Xan and Cecily alone, though.

Silver: Stop being a softie, Kim. That’s exactly their aim. They want us to feel guilty and cancel the whole thing.

Astrid:Which will not happen, right? I enjoy being husband-and-kid-free.

Teal:We will not bow.

Elsa:Not now. Not ever.

* * *

Elsa:Eli asked me today how long it took me to marry his daddy.

Kimberly:Cecily asked where she can find someone like her daddy *laughing emoji*

Astrid:Bran and Lan only ask why the hell we had Glyn. They think she’s spoilt and unnecessary. They called their sister unnecessary.

Teal: And then there’s Remi, who keeps asking if he came out of me like the cub came from the lioness we watched in the documentary. He had an argument about it with Ronan and didn’t speak to him for an hour, thinking his daddy hurt me.

Aurora:He’s so cute.

Silver: Ava barely talks and whenever she does, it’s to call her daddy’s name. I’m scared she’ll be jealous once the baby is born.

Kimberly: She’ll be fine. I’m pretty sure she will love her baby sister or brother. Besides, do you think Cole will even let her feel jealous?

Astrid: She’s right. Eli wasn’t jealous of Lan and Bran when they were born.

Aurora: That’s because he was already spoilt shitless by all of us.

Elsa:Eli is weird these days. He’s always holding on to Aiden and asking him if there’s a way to make a pact of marriage.

Teal: What does he even mean by a pact of marriage?

Elsa: No clue, but it seems that my little boy is in a hurry.

Silver: What did Aiden say?

Elsa: What do you think? He supports him every step of the way and told him he’ll even take care of his Uncle Cole if he needs to.

Silver:Uh-oh. I think I know where this is going.

Elsa:Me, too. It won’t be pretty.

Teal:But it will be fun.

THE END
