Asher followed behind Chloe as they walked towards their booth with his hand still on the small of her back. After making sure she was situated and in her place on her side of the booth Asher slid into his side of the booth facing the door. He folded his hands on top of the nicely stained wooden table top. "You're certainly welcome." Asher told her with a flashing smile.

Chloe just sat there smiling across the table at him, feeling absolutely ridiculously smitten, and all she wanted to do was giggle for some reason, but she fought the urge. After a few minutes of just looking at each other and smiling, she finally cleared her throat and picked up a menu, hiding her blushing face behind it because she felt so silly, feeling like she had a crush on Asher all over again. They lived together for Merlin's sake! Wasn't this crazy, butterflies in the stomach, can't stop smiling feeling supposed to go away when things got to that point? She knew her parents still loved each other, but they never sat around smiling at each other. And neither did Hunter and Summer who had been living together for well over a year now. Maybe she was just insane.

She had to giggle. The bath times in the Greenwood house were a lot more fun then they had usually been. And the owls were having no end in sight of the fun. "You should stay for bath time tomorrow I'm sure the boys would love to show how to properly bath in oatmeal." She could see the mess and they chaos the addition of their father would cause in the bathroom.

"It would be nice to do something together as a whole family," All of them together going somewhere would be nice. Like they used to do. "I had gotten matching outfits made for the whole family. I did have something made for you." she told him. And she was pleased that he was going. They would look like a family again. Even Paris was going, though she was bringing a date.

She smiled at him, "Of course I will." Both of them had a terrible sweet tooth and she knew he was going to dip into her souffle anyways. So she might as well share, not that she minded anyways.

Egypt nodded when Nathan said he wasn't leaving. It was like a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She had been so scared that he was going to leave her. She sniffled and wiped at her face. She hated ruining their evening by crying, but Egypt was just as emotional as Nathan but she was usually better at holding her emotions, but this just wasn't one of those times. "I never stopped loving you Nathan." she told him softly. She wasn't going to understand why he wasn't coming home and it was clear there wasn't anything else to say on the matter. He wasn't coming home. She fixed her face and just left the matter alone. "Well it seems Tomasina and Excelsior are going to have a baby," she told him. Her sister had dropped by earlier in the to tell her the news. Tommy was in shock actually, neither her nor Excelsior had been planning on having a child, but Egypt had settled her down. It was exciting for Egypt, Tommy was the last sister to not have a child and everyone had been waiting for the couple to bare children.

"Well, I don't doubt it," Jesper chuckled. Jesper didn't doubt that Abilee could handle the dog. She seemed pretty confortable with dogs, and to be honest, Jesper dog was only playful. Not like, aggresive or anything.

"Great," Jesper smiled. Haha, their first date would be walking a dog. Anyway, Abilee wanted a dog, so she'd probably like it.

"Good," Abilee smiled and finished the rest of her French toast. Hehe, yay! She finally ate and it was tastey, for once. But now Abilee had a date with Jesper. And it was walking his dog. But she surely didn't mind at all.

"So when will the date be?" she asked and drank her water as well.

"Yup," Jesper said and took a bite from his burger. Ugh, he was already full... He put the burger aside and took some water. Refreshinggggg. Nice and cold.

Jesper shrugged. "I don't really know," He said and smiled. That sounded good. "I'm free any time, it doesn't really matter," Work rarely got in the way, luckily.

"Same here. Work really doesn't get in the way of personal things, which is always a good thing," She smiled. So now they both had to pick a day. Since it was finally summer, Abilee wanted to go to the beach, badly. She was usually stuck at work or home. "Wait. Where would we go? Like a casual street or like a beach?"

"Yeah, that's a good thing," Jesper smiled. "Beach! It's sooo much more fun!" The dog loved it, too. It was so nice walking down the beach a hot day, watching the sun go down and feeling the water and sand at your feet... Wow, it'd been a while since Jesper did that.

"Yay! The beach!" Abilee said, excitedly. She was finally able to get from her dreaded empty, quiet and boring house. Finally! Something worth taking up her time. Plus, Abilee would get more time with Jesper...and his dog. "So what's your dog's name?"

Jesper smiled, deciding to keep his emotions inside... Starting yelling in the middle of a restaurant was NOT the best way of letting his feelings out, and he DID work in the Magical Law Enforcement. Guhhhh.

Uhhhhh. "I don't have a name for him yet. I really just call him puppy or buddy or whatever for now." Jesper was terrible at names. No joke. Maybe Abilee could give him some inspiration.

"You what?!" Abilee said and grabbed the closest thing to her. A small loaf of bread. Hmph. She took it and threw it at Jesper's head. Ha! "How can you not have named your dog yet. Animals have feelings too!" How was he going to name his kids, if he was going to have any, if he couldn't name his own dog.

"How about Max? That's a typical dog name. Or Ralph, Cody, something of the sort,"

Jesper was veryyyyy surprised at Abilee's reaction... Wow, the dog was like, 8 months old. Not that old, and the dog probably didn't care as he got the love he needed.

"Take it easy!" Jesper said and wiped some bread crums out of his hair, before his face turned into a big grin and he started laughing like crazy. "I'll name him... Jack. After Jack Sparrow," Wait, did Abilee even watch movies? He never asked, did he? Oh well. He'd ask later, if she wasn't throwing bread at him.

He shook his head and smiled. "Jack's a nice name, right?" It fitted the dog, since it was a black Golden Retriver.

"Jack Sparrow...?" Abilee gave Jesper a confusing look. But other than that, she just nodded at the Jack Sparrow thing. Who was that anyway? Family member? Friend? But anways...back to their conversation. Hmmm, could Jack fit a dog?

"I like Jack. Sounds fitting for a dog, I guess,"

Jesper sighed. Nooooooooo, Abilee hadn't seen Pirates of the Caribbean. Poor herrrrr... He'd have to show it to her somtime. "It's.... a pirate," He said. "From a muggle movie," He said, wondering if Abilee had ever seen one. "Played by Johnny Depp," She probably didn't know who that was. For a pureblood, Jesper knew muggle movies.

"Great! I'm sure he'll like it," Jesper nodded and put the bread that had fallen down on the table back into the basked, which was on the floor... He hoped the restaurant changed the bread after the next guest, or else he'd feel bad for the people after Abilee and Jesper.

A pirate. From a muggle movie. Played by Johnny Depp. "Yeah, no. Never heard of it. Ironically enough, I love muggle things but I barely watch their movies," Abilee shrugged. Why hadn't she watched muggle movies as well? But now, she was going to have to, since they sounded intersting, if they were like pirate movies and such.

"Why would you put it back into the basket?" Abilee asked, in a whisper and took the bread onto her plate.

Asher raised an eyebrow at Chloe as she picked up the menu and hid herself completely from his view behind the large menu. He too picked up a menu and hid behind it, looking at random meals not completely deciding on what he wanted. "You sure are quiet today." Asher told her after a few long minutes. He was usually the quiet one, her the one who would talk and talk and talk some more.

Chloe giggled and set her menu down, revealing her blushing face. "I'm sorry! I don't know what's wrong with me today! I just feel so... nervous and and... silly!" she said hiding her face in her hands, not able to make eye contact with him. And she was still giggling. Now that she had started she couldn't stopped. Why was she being such a goofball?

Asher chuckled at her response. Nervous? He questioned himself, Why? "Well, I've definately not seen this quote on quote, silly side of you." Asher told her from behind his menu still. He finally decided to focus on what he wanted to eat and began looking at each meal's description individually.

"Sorry..." she mumbled, giggles stopping as she was now extremely embarrassed. She picked up her menu again and began looking at it, now feeling like a complete idiot. What was wrong with her? Asher was probably thinking she was a freak. What if he thought she was being weird? He said he'd never seen this side of her. Uugh... so much for a nice romantic date. Now she just kind of wanted to cry. Why was she so blah? In her mind, she blamed it on that stupid Ryan.

"It's alright." Asher told her from behind the menu. His somach gave a loud growl, "You'll be taken care of." he whispered to his stomach, still hidden behind the menu looking for food that would interest his taste-buds and stop the growling of his stomach. "Hmmm...." Asher let out looking through the menu once more.

Chloe looked through the menu, but nothing sounded appetizing. She wasn't even remotely hungry anymore. For a split second, she thought she wanted to just go back to her apartment and be alone with her idiocy, but then she realized her apartment wasn't her apartment anymore. She had no space to call her own anymore. She shared a home with Asher. And then her brain went into panic mode, wondering if her sudden desire to be alone meant that they had rushed this, that maybe they hadn't been ready to move in together. Her heart was beating hard in her chest, and it felt hard to breathe. Chloe felt the sudden urge to just run away. She needed air, she needed space, she needed... she needed...

to get ahold of herself.

Taking a few steadying breaths, she calmed herself down and looked slyly over the top of her menu at Asher. She loves Asher, and Asher loves her, and they get along really well. The kids would be home, soon, and that meant even less possible space for Chloe to be alone. Could she ask for space? Could she ask for maybe just... just one room that was all her own, that she could just have to be hers? Was that.. weird to want? Was that bad to want? She loved Asher with all of her heart, and she loved spending time with him, but sometimes people just needed time alone, right? Time to think...

...about things like this.

"So, what are you going to get?" she said with a cheerful smile despite the panic going on inside her brain.

"Well, I'm going to make you watch it now," Jesper said. You could just not live without having seen a good muggle movie. Jesper loooooved watching movies, weirdly, and he did it whenever he felt like it. He even went to the movies sometimes. Yup, probably the only pureblood wizard in England who did that, but he found it fun, so he didn't mind.

"Well, they probably thow it out anyway," Or else it would be kind of gross. You never knew, maybe a five year old had sitten and smired boogers on the bread before Abilee and Jesper got there? No, hopefully they changed it, but Jesper took some of it to his plate too.

"And how are you going to make me watch it?" Aiblee smirked and took another sip of her water. She actually did want to these pirate movies. They seemed interesting enough to catch Jesper's attention, so why can't they catch hers? PLus, Abilee's heard about going outside to see moives. See, she really didn't know much about these things since she was a Pureblood witch who spent everyday in the magical word. She needed to get out more.

"I think it'll be really nasty if they don't," Abilee made a face and looked at the bread. That would be gross, considering how many people come into the resturant.

"Well, I'm sure you do want to see it, huh?" He obviously wouldn't make her, but she'd regret it if she didn't... If Jesper ever became the Minister, he'd make everyone watch movies. At work, of course... Learning about their culture was actually important too.

"Yeah," Jesper said and pushed the bread basket aside from him and Abilee. He had kinda lost his appetite for the bread, now. "Are you getting dessert?" He asked Abilee.

"Well, of course I want to see them. Though the only thing I know about them is Pirates and some fellow named Johnny Depp," Abigail bit her lower lip and went into thought. That's all she knew, right? Besides being a muggle movie. She felt soo lost.

"Umm, I don't think so. The French toast got me full, so no space for dessert," she laughed. How ironic. French toast getting her full just like that. But honestly, Abilee knew it was about her sickness.
