New Reigns

First topic message reminder :

"Dad!" Thomas had darted over to his father's car as he had parked and gave him dabs.
Griffin rubbed his head. "Tommy." He greeted and rubbed his eleven year old's head affectionately. "I hope you're playing fair." He told him and grabbed the basketball from his hands and threw it over to Benjamin who quickly tossed it through the hoop. The group of boys, Presley Dustin, Alex, Benjamin, Jay, Jasper, Seth and Tyrese were often outside
"I told you Tyrese sucks at basketball, Jasper." Benjamin  stated annoyed with his brother as he had hopped in front of the boy to claim the ball before he could, and began to dribbled around attempting to avoid him.
Griffin shook his head and watched his son dart over back to the other boys and headed over to the house where fifteen year old Kitty was sitting with her ipod blasting beside her sister Dawn while doing her nails. "Did mom make you two hang out together again?" He asked as he made his way inside.
"Hi daddy." Kitty greeted then shook her head. "No, we were bored." She admitted. "And worrying about finding a boyfriend." She smirked knowing how much that bothered her father.
"You wish." Griffin said and grabbed both of their phones checking through  the contacts. "I want those boys deleted both of you." He said and smacked both their heads lightly before heading inside. "And remember, I don't want you guys hanging around Alex or Jay alone." He warned and walked over to Jane and kissed her head. "Hey baby." He greeted and sat beside her.

Tyrese glared at his brother then grabbed the ball and threw it at his head. "Shut up faggot!" He said and punched him in the stomach.
Benjamin put his younger brother in  head lock. "I'm going to kick your ass kid."

Dawn slowly lifted her shirt for him, only enough to expose her stomach.

Jay extended his hand out to her stomach to feel the bump feeling a bit weird but slowly getting used to the idea.

Miles look a her cautiously. "He may have a point, I could die tomorrow and I'd have nothing to have lived for."

"That's not true and you know it," Ryder encourages and squeezed his wrist slightly. "You have your sister, your brother, your parents. They all love and appreciate you."

Dawn pulled her shirt back down and broke into sobs again, pushing his hand away.

Jay looked at her uneasily and rubbed the back of his neck sitting there quietly. "This could be good."

Kitty walked over to Avril and whispered something in her ear.

Avril walked over to Jay and Dawn and looked at them. "Hey you two, look, I got a task for you, can you babysit Keith for me?" She asked and gave Keith over to Jay.

Jay stared at the baby in confusion. "Hi...Keith..."

Miles looked at her and sighed. "You don't get it, Ryder. Of course they will. What I'm saying is I don't have you know, a family like he said."

"No it can't!" Dawn bawled, ignoring Avril as she brought over Keith.

Ryder took his hands into hers and sighed. "Miles, there's so much more to life than a family like he said. But if that's what you so desperately want, I can help you."

Keith looked over at Dawn and teared up getting ready to cry.

"Oh god." Jay winced. "Stop Dawn, please."

"I've accomplsihed all I need too in my life, I've gotten happiness through a career." Miles managed a grin. "School, and everything was fun but sometimes I just need that one little thing you know?" He frowned as she offered the idea. "Ryder I don't want you to do anything you don't want to."

"I just wanted to make sure you're okay." Cora shrugged.

"I'm okay." Alex reassured her and listened to the commotion above the seats. "Wonder what's happening."

"You could die tomorrow and have nothing to have loved for," Ryder mocked. "This is a one time offer, so choose wisely."

"I can't!" Dawn bawled and covered her face.

"Agreed." Miles shot up suddenly with a smirk.

Jay winced as Keith began to cry. "Please don't cry." He begged.

Keith shut his eyes and wailed.

Dawn cried along with Keith and hiccuped.

"Alright," Ryder said with a grin. She let go of his hands and walked back to her seat and sat down.

Jay threw his head back and endured bot the crying with an oncoming headache.

Miles shrugged and slowly followed her back.

Ryder pressed her head to the back of the seat and looked up at the roof of the bus with a sigh, then out the window.

"Someone make it stop." Jacki begged as both crying grew louder.

Dawn continued to hiccup.

"You okay?" Miles asked Ryder.

Jay glared at Jacki. "Yeah it's not exactly a walk in the park if you haven't noticed." He snapped. "Dawn, look at Keith." He tried nudging her and pressed close against her so Keith was on both their laps.

Ryder nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine."

"No, stop." Dawn bawled and nudged him away.

Jacki rolled her eyes and moved farther back.

"Are you sure you look angry." Miles responded.

"Please stop crying and look." Jay frowned and looked at the sniffling Keith trying not to lose his patience.

"Why?" Dawn snapped suddenly and glared at him.

Jay sat with a poker face. "Because, we're both trying to learn about this." He pointed to Keith.

Keith only babbled to Jay in response.

Ryder looked over at him and softened her expression. "Better?" She asked.
