and if you let me, i promise i'll never let you down.

[This is horrible ]
Davina was the type of person who liked to believe that she knew to expect the unexpected, however, this wasn't something that she expected at all. She'd known for a while now that she wanted to start a family when she got older, but the key word there is older. She wanted to get married and make sure that there was a steady income before she even thought about starting a family with her significant other. She kind of ended up doing things backwards though, and that was probably the understatement of the year, because here she was, two months shy of her twentieth birthday, and five and a half months pregnant. She didn't even want to think about the fact that there wasn't even a significant other in the picture anymore, the baby's father had left shortly after finding out that Davina was pregnant, and she didn't want to think about the small window of time she now had until the baby arrived either. Letting out a soft sigh, she quickly shook both thoughts from her head, and focused her attention back on the task at hand: finding the candy aisle in this damn supermarket. "If I were Swedish Fish, where would I be?" She thought allowed to herself as she trekked down yet another aisle that wasn't the one she desired at the moment.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen it coming, because he had. When he first found out his wife was sick, and the doctors told them that it was terminal, he knew that it was pretty much inevitable. That didn't mean that he'd learned to accept it though, because who really wanted to accept something that they knew would cause them more pain than they could have ever imagined feeling? And it wasn't just emotional pain, it was physical pain too. Before she passed, the thought of losing his wife physically pained him. And he was drained, emotionally and physically. Losing a loved one, especially a spouse, was hard. He never imagined that something like this would happen. Life was full of twists and turns, and he was beginning to wonder if, whoever was up there, had some sort of a twisted sense of humor, because what had he done to deserve this? To deserve losing his Lucy? He didn't want to say that life wasn't fair, because that seemed rather childish to say the least, but that's exactly how he'd been feeling the last couple of months. But he put a smile on his face for his daughter, Anastasia. He couldn't let her know that he was still hurting. He needed to at least try to be strong for her, though it was proving to be a rather difficult task. "Since you were good for daddy today, you can pick one thing from the case." He said, ruffling his daughter's hair softly as they waited in line at the cafe.

[it was not! Mine is worse NOW TO SLEEP. Hopefully this made a bit of sense]

Sebastian let out a huff as he glanced from the shopping list his sister wrote him in his hands to the products on the shelves in front of him. There was no way in hell he could understand half the shit she wanted him to buy, but it was the least he could do since she looked after the children when he was working. God, he had no idea what he would have done if she wasn't back living with him. Looking after two children was the hardest things to get used to, not only that but a career as an actor. He loved his children, more than anything in the world, but sometimes he just wished they were at their mums. Danielle, god, she was the perfect women for him, but everything they once had crumbled slowly around them. Work, getting married and the kids, it was all too much for them and their relationship broke. They weren't the same happy couple they used to be and there was no way in hell he could every see them rekindling it. He was glad though, they had separated on good terms; it was a mutual agreement. They need their space and they both needed to find someone who could deal with each other’s lives. They were just never meant to be. "Swedish Fish, Jesus Chris Rose, the kids don't need more candy," he muttered to himself as he glanced around the aisle. "Now, where is the candy aisle?" he questioned himself as he trekked further down, but soon paused after hearing, basically the same, question asked. He glanced over at the girl, young and pregnant, but never the less rather attractive. It reminded him of Danielle, she was so young when she was pregnant with the girls. "They need to set this supermarket out better or put the candy near the front," he joked. She looked as lost as he was and that was why he hated grocery shopping.

-

Rosalie grinned from ear to ear with the twin girls holding each of her hands. She had always wanted to be a mother, but this was the closest she would ever get; with her brothers kids. It made her sad, it really did. Alex would never give her kids. He never wanted them, but then again, he never wanted her. She was kind of glad that he was gone and out of her life, but it still hard to find anyone in this god forsaken town that actually wanted to settle down with one person for the rest of their lives. Men her age still thought they were twenty-fucking-one; all they wanted to do was drink and sleep around. She had passed that stage a long, long time ago. Rose glanced down at the two girls as they walked into the café like they did every other day. This was their special little spot before they went to the park; she always needed a bit more caffeine in her system to keep up with the hyperactive kids. "Alright, Sammy, Josey, the usual choc chip muffin for later?" she softly as the two girls beside her. The two brown haired girls looked up at her with eager eyes as they nodded their heads vigorously. "I take that as a yes," Rosa laughed as she led the girls in front of her, letting go of their hands.

[Yours was so much better than mine!! And sorry for the delay....I was gonna post last night and then this wave of tiredness hit me and I crashed mad early...]

Davina had thought that a change of scenery would do her some good. The last couple of months had been absolute hell, and it wasn't because she was pregnant or anything. Growing up in a small town, news got around rather quickly, and it didn't take very long for everyone and their grandmother to know that Jimmy Dayes' youngest was pregnant. Her pregnancy had been pretty fair so far, she wasn't nauseous all day every day, only on the few rough days here and there, so it definitely wasn't the pregnancy itself. It was the whispering and judgmental looks that she received when she walked down the street or, hell, out to the mailbox! Finally, about a month ago, she'd decided that enough was enough. She was getting out of that shitty town, and here she was today, still not all that certain as to where everything was in this damn grocery store. Apparently she wasn't the only one having trouble locating the candy aisle though. Glancing over, she saw a rather attractive man. He was older, though by that she only meant older than her, but still somewhat young by most standards. Or so she was assuming anyway. She was thinking early thirties. Maybe? Or he could just have really good genes, she had no idea. Mustering up a small smile, she nodded. "I thought it was just me." She admitted, letting out a quiet laugh.

---

Going through something like this would have been difficult for anyone, but it was even harder for someone who was in the spotlight a lot more than the average person was. Benedict had taken a step back from acting the last couple of months, only working on a few small projects here and there. He needed to be there for Anastasia, and if he was off filming for some huge project, how could he possibly do that? And what sort of a father would that make him anyway? She'd already lost her mother, she didn't need to lose her father too. So he was home much more than he used to be. Of course, when they first discovered that Lucy was sick, he'd wanted to be home as much as possible then too, but his wife had insisted that he keep on working. A part of him wished that he hadn't given in and allowed her to convince him that it was the right thing to do. He should have been home more. He should have spent more time with her while he still had the chance to do so. If anything, that was his biggest regret at the moment. He didn't let the guilt show though. He couldn't. He needed to be strong for his daughter. Glancing around the small cafe, he noticed just how crowded it was. There was a line nearly going out the door, and most of the tables in the place were taken. It didn't come as much of a surprise. It was nearly noon now, and most people were probably getting off for their lunch breaks. He sighed, hoping the line would move quickly or else he'd have an extremely antsy five year old on his hands.

@ zima.
Sebastian smiled at the girl before glancing back at the shopping list in his hand. He pulled a small face before crumpling it up and shoving it into the pocket of his jeans. He was giving up on Rose's list, he was sure he knew what they needed anyway. Rose just had a better idea considering she was home a lot more than what he was. He was just going to wing it; at least he was actually grocery shopping, so Rose couldn't whine that much about it. "I haven't been here for years," he told the girl, glancing over at her, "they've changed it around since last time I was here." He smiled at her once again. He hadn't been here since he left Danielle, but it wasn't because of her; it was one of her friends who used to run this store. She had made a rather large scene in the middle of the car park when he and Rose came to grab some things. She accused him of cheating on him, but little did she knew that Rose was his god damn sister, not his lover... not that he even had one. He was never like that, he was and always will be faithful to the person he was with. He didn't want to deal with her shit, even after she apologized a million and one times. He knew it would be a lot better if he went to another grocery store. He was just glad she finally left this place and moved to another town, this grocery store was a lot closer for him. "It shouldn't be too far away," he mumbled to her, "I hope not anyway, I hate grocery shopping, but Rose always makes me do it as much as possible." He let out a small laugh.

-

The line slowly moved up and the two girls were starting to complain that it was taking too long. As much as she loved the two girls, they were little shits sometimes. "Stop whining or we are not going to the park and you won't get your muffin," she whispered to them. They looked up at her pout which only made Rose stare back at them with her brows raised. "You two better behave," she warned. Soon enough, she finally made it to the register, smiling at the bouncing red head she knew all too well. "You look tired," the girl behind the counter told her. "I've been up all night applying for jobs, paying bills and looking after these rug rats," she laughed softly, "Sebastian is really busy again, so I help out as much as I can," she added, shrugging her shoulders a little. She didn't mind it at all; Sebastian's job was the only source of income coming into the household. It made her feel awful; she hated using her brother's money. She needed to find a job desperately. It had been far too long since she even held a job, Alex never liked her working. "You'll find something," she told Rose with a wide smile. "I hope so," she said softly. She smiled back at her, "Oh and can I have the usual, but take-away please. I don't think I'll be able to find a place to sit today so I might just take the kids straight to the park," she added, smiling a bit wider. She glanced over her shoulder, her eyes roaming around the small store for a seat, but none could be seen and she highly doubted these people would want her and the kids sitting with them.

Davina smiled at the man, her gaze shifting momentarily as she had a look around the store. It was certainly set up differently than the one in her hometown was. She knew that all grocery stores had different ways of setting things up, and she really didn't understand that. Why wasn't there just a standard way of setting a store up? It would make things easier on the customers, and probably on the workers too. They would never have to worry about rearranging the store and there just wouldn't be any confusion at all. It would be ten times better than this. "I just moved here recently, so I'm still used to how things were set up in the one by me." She told him. "I really don't know why all stores don't just have a standard way of setting things up...there would never be any major confusion like this." She let out a quiet laugh, her eyebrows furrowing slightly though when he mentioned someone named Rose. She didn't know who he was talking about, and that's when she realized that she didn't even really know who she was talking to. "I'm Davina by the way."

---

Of course, just his like, the line seemed to be moving rather slowly. Benedict was surprised that he wasn't already dealing with an antsy five year old, though he was sure that if things continued to go on as they were right now, at an almost sluggish pace, he'd be wishing that he hadn't thought about it and more than likely jinxed himself. Or something along those lines anyway. Thankfully, before he knew it, it was his turn to order. He got his usual and a hot chocolate for Anastasia. Once he'd received their drinks, he thanked the barista, placing a couple of small bills into the tip jar, before he walked and took a seat. He'd managed to snag the last remaining empty table though there were a few vacant chairs there. "Be careful, it's hot." He told his daughter as he handed her cup of hot chocolate to her. He sipped his drink, glancing around the cafe. That's when he noticed her. The woman over by the register, talking with the barista. He made brief eye contact with her when she looked over her shoulder, and shifted his gaze accordingly. However, when she was about to walk past, he surprised himself as he spoke. "You're welcome to sit here if you'd like."

Sebastian listened as she spoke, his smile still on his face. Most people who he would try to have a conversation with knocked him down or awkwardly tell him they had to go by now. He had always been a friendly person; well he tried to be most of the time. When she spoke her name, his brows rose a little. He normally introduced himself, but he had completely forgotten. He was enjoying the conversation they had going, even if it was about the shitty layout of the store. "It is lovely to meet you Davina, I'm Sebastian," he beamed, sticking his free hand out towards her for her to shake. "They probably change up the layout in every store so we have to walk up and down every aisle, that way we impulse buy instead of coming in for what we really need," he laughed, "Which works because I haven't got a single thing that I had on my list."

-

Rose stashed the sweets in her back before she picked up the three drinks, ushering the girls towards the door. When she heard a voice speak up she froze, her eyes finding the man who had offered her and the girls a seat. Her lips pursed together as she kept her eyes on him. "It's okay, I really don't want to bother-" she cut herself off as her eyes fell upon Sammy climbing up onto the seat beside the little girl he was with. She let out a soft laugh, shaking her head slightly. "I guess I have no choice now since Sammy has already made herself comfortable." She smiled a touch as she placed the drinks onto the table. "Thank-you," she said softly to him as she sat down. Josey sat beside her, as close as she could get. Sammy had always been the one who was more out there; it took Josey a long time to be comfortable with someone she did not know. She handed the two girls their drinks before she sipped slowly on her own.

If she was being completely honest, Davina didn't really know why she was still talking to him. She'd exchanged the occasional comments here and there with complete strangers in the past, but now it almost seemed like they were starting a full on conversation in the middle of the grocery store. It wasn't that she wasn't a friendly person, she was, she just tended to keep to herself most of the time. It was simply how she was. "It's lovely to meet you too, Sebastian." She smiled, shaking his outstretched hand. "You're probably right. It's just one big conspiracy." She laughed. "I don't bother making lists anymore, because I never seem to follow them."

---

Benedict didn't really know what had come over him, he was pretty sure that he was more surprised by his actions than the woman was, though he watched with a slight smile as one of the little girls climbed up onto the seat next to Anastasia. "It's not a problem. This place is a lot more popular than I thought it was." He said, glancing around for a moment. He supposed that could simply be bad timing on his part though. After all, it was nearly noon now, and people were probably going off on their lunch breaks, or stopping in to pick something up on their way somewhere else. Either way, this was probably the most crowded he had seen the small coffee shop in quite some time now.

Sebastian grinned at Davina, "it really is just one big conspiracy. I know what they are up to." He let out a laugh, shaking his head a little. "Rose needs to stop giving me lists because I can't understand what she wants me to buy. It's all just code words to me, she loves to make my life as hard as possible," he joked. She enjoyed writing stupid lists, but instead of it saying the usual bread and milk, she always put the bloody brand names or what the kids would call it. It was annoying as all hell trying to decipher what she had written, but he kind of enjoyed it at the same time. "I should let you be, sorry for pestering you," he stated sincerely, "unless you'd like to help me track down the candy aisle?" he added in. He kept his eyes on her, cocking his head to the side as he waited for her answer.

-

Rose bit down on her lip as he spoke again. She kept her eyes focused on either the kids or on her drink. She felt strange sitting next to this unknown man, but then again, she always felt a bit uncomfortable around people she did not know. It was more men that she was uncomfortable with, but that was only since she was with Alex. "It's normally busy around this time," she replied softly. "Well, not this busy anyway. Something exciting must be happening." Her eyes flickered to him for a split second before they landed back on her coffee. "We both just chose the wrong time to come with kids." She let out a little laugh as Josey began tugging on the hem of her shirt. "We will go to the park soon, you've just have to finish your drink first," Rose said softly to the girl who was far to eager too leave.

Davina let out a quiet laugh. "Hopefully they don't realize that we're onto them. I'm not so sure that things would end well for either of us if they did." She joked, a slight grin tugging at the corners of her lips. "It sounds like you're just the victim in all cases today..." Her tone was light and teasing. Though they had only been talking for about five minutes, she was finding herself smiling and laughing more than she'd done in a really long time. It was nice...refreshing even. She shook her head in response to his later words, waving her hand dismissively. "Oh no, it's fine. You weren't pestering me at all." She assured him with a smile. "And, considering one of the only things I came in here for was candy, I just might have to take you up on that offer."

---

Benedict was beginning to wonder if this felt as strange and awkward for her as it did for him. Yes, he did offer to let her sit at the table with him, it was the polite thing to do, but that didn't mean that he didn't feel the slightly tense and awkward feel of the conversation. It was rather hard to miss, and he was nearly grasping for straws now, trying to come up with something, anything, to keep the conversation from dying out. It was proving to be quite the task though. "Yeah, probably." He nodded. "Sure looks like it." He chuckled slightly.

Sebastian was enjoying her company. He hadn't had company like that in a very long time. Sure, he had his co-stars and his sister, but there was nothing like meeting a random stranger in a place where you would normally never meet anyone. He didn't have to talk about work with her, he didn't have to talk about his ex and for him in was god damn refreshing. He could talk about anything completely stupid and that was wonderful. He let out a laugh and smiled over at her. "I'm actually glad I'm not pestering you," he told her. He held his arm out to her with his smile still on his face. "Well, my lady, let's go hunt down the candy." He let out another laugh, keeping his eyes on her. The longer he looked at her, the more he noticed how beautiful she really was. Whoever she was with, he was one hell of a lucky guy. He would give up everything to find a girl like her. "I hope you don't mind me asking you something rather personal, but how far along are you?" he asked softly, his eyes quickly drifting down to her swollen stomach.

-

Rose was starting to feel rather back for being awkward and tense around this man who was obviously nice enough to let her sit with him. She bit down on her lip and stared at her coffee for a few more seconds before letting out a sigh. "I'm really sorry, I don't go out enough to know how to socialize with people," she joked, glancing back over to him. "So to make this slightly less awkward, I'm Rose and these rascals are Sammy and Josey." She smiled over at the unknown man, "sadly, not my kids, but my brothers. I should point out that part as well." She settled back into her seat and took his eyes off of him.

Davina couldn't remember the last time she'd smiled and laughed so much in such a short period of time. With the baby's father no longer in the picture, she'd be lying if she said that things hadn't been tough. They were, she'd really been in need of a good laugh, and that was precisely what she'd gotten thanks to Sebastian. "If you were pestering me, you would definitely know it." She assured him, letting out a quiet laugh. With a smile on her face, she placed her hand onto his arm lightly. "Lead the way." She said. His next words weren't ones that necessarily came as much of a surprise to her. In fact, she was more surprised that it had taken him this long to bring up any questions about her pregnancy. It was really one of the first times she'd actually noticed him eyeing up her stomach. "I don't mind at all. I just reached the twenty-two week mark yesterday."

---

Benedict didn't really like how awkward and tense things were with this woman right now. Maybe it was his lack in real social interaction lately, he'd kind of been keeping to himself as of late. Normally, when he came here with Anastasia, he kept to himself. He sat at the same exact table with his daughter every single time, and he did so even when he didn't have her with him because she was with his mother. He was a creature of habit he supposed, and this certainly was out of character for him at the moment. "I reckon that makes two of us." He said, letting out a soft chuckle. "It's lovely to meet you, Rose. I'm Benedict, and this here is Anastasia." He sent a small smile her way. "Do you watch them often?" He asked, wondering if she spent a lot of time with her brother's kids. It was really just sheer curiosity on his part.

Sebastian led Davina up and down every single aisle. The one with candy had to be around here somewhere, he just wasn't too sure where. "I am glad, I don't think I would be able to handle the wrath from you," he joked with his grin widening. He continued walking, listening to how far along she was. He remembered when his ex was that far along, it was so long ago now. He could remember how moody she was; the pregnancy never sat so well especially when she found out that she was having twins. He, on the other hand, was over the god damn moon. He always wanted kids and here he was with two beautiful daughters. "Congratulations to both you and your partner," he smiled. "Kids are by far the most amazing human beings; I still remember when my ex had the twins. Best day of my life. You both are going to love it even though it can be so damn stressful," he told her. He looked over at her with the same wide smile as he stopped walking. They now stood in front of the candy.

-

"Ah the joys of being a hermit," she laughed softly as Josey and sat herself down beside Sammy, waving a little at his daughter. "Human interaction will be the death of me, I swear unless I somehow get used to it once again." She shook her head a little as a small smile curled at the corner of her lips. She could tell he was a lovely fellow, but she just needed to get used to talking to males again. They weren't all like Alex. "I watch them twenty-four seven," she joked, "I live with my brother so I guess it kind of is twenty-four seven." She let out another soft laugh, "I love it though. They are great kids even when they have their little tantrums."

Davina let out a quiet laugh. "You're right, you probably wouldn't be able to handle it." She joked. "I might be tiny, but I have a mean right hook." A slight grin tugged at the corners of her lips. Things were going great, she was laughing and smiling, and just, surprisingly, having an all around good time, and then the subject of her ex came up, and the smile suddenly faltered. "I'm not so sure about that." She said quietly, her lower lip catching between her teeth. "The baby's father left me shortly after finding out that I was pregnant."

---

Benedict chuckled slightly. It was a strange, almost foreign, feeling. He couldn't remember the last time he'd laughed or really enjoyed himself. He hadn't been talking to Rose for very long, but she certainly seemed like a lovely person. "There are pros and cons to it like anything else.' He said, smiling slightly as he sipped his coffee. He listened as she spoke, nodding at her words. "They seem like great kids." He told her with a smile. The twins seemed rather well-behaved, and good mannered. And, even if they did have tantrums as Rose had said, all kids did, no matter how well-behaved they were.

"Should I be terrified of you Davina?" he joked as he cocked his head to the side. "Because I feel like I should be considering you have a mean right hook," he chuckled. His smile and laughed soon dimmed as he saw her smile fall at his words. His brows furrowed as she replied. How could this bastard leave such a girl like her. He honestly could not believe it. "Far out," he mumbled softly to himself. "I was not expecting that," he told her honestly. "I guess I kind of know how you feel, not to the full extent though. My ex-wife divorced me once the twins were born. She wanted nothing to do with me or the kids. I'm just glad I had a little sister, Rose, around otherwise I would have been lost," he sighed, giving her a weak smile.

-

Rose felt more and more comfortable with each passing second. He seemed like a lovely guy, but she did not know much about him. "They are okay," she joked as the two girls whined at her answer. "We are the bestest!" Sammy shouted with a little giggle. She didn't even realized the two girl's were listening. Rose let out a laugh, shaking her head at the twins. "Yes, you both are," she told them before looking back at Benedict. "So, Benedict, what do you do with yourself besides looking after your daughter?" she asked him.

Davina laughed softly, shrugging her shoulders. "I'll let you figure that out yourself." She said, a small smile on her face. She found that she really liked talking to Sebastian. It was strange, because she felt quite comfortable around him, and she honestly couldn't remember the last time she'd laughed or smiled the way that she seemed to be doing today with him. "Yeah? Well, that makes two of us." She said quietly. The last thing that she was expecting, other than finding out that she was expecting, was for her boyfriend to just up and leave her like that when she told him the news. Sure, that had been a small fear of hers at the time, but she had never pictured it actually becoming a reality. Her eyes widened slightly at his later words. "She left you to raise them by yourself?" She asked in disbelief. She might not really know him all that well, but he seemed like a decent guy, and she couldn't believe that someone would do something like that to him. It was terrible. "Yeah, having someone there to help you is always nice..."

---

Benedict was surprised that he was feeling as comfortable as he was around Rose. After everything that had happened, he found it to be much more difficult to communicate and carry on a conversation with others. He was much more withdrawn and closed off than he used to be, and he really just kept to himself most of the time, only really talking to those who spoke to him. His main focus was Anastasia, and when she was off with his mum and he had time to himself, he oftentimes still found himself there in that very coffee shop and that very seat at that very table. A creature of habit he certainly appeared to be. He chuckled slightly as one of the twins chimed in. He hadn't realized that they were listening in either. He stole a glance over to Anastasia. She was rather quiet, though he wasn't very surprised. She'd always been a bit shy, and it seemed to be the case more so now than ever with Lucy gone. "I dabble with acting here and there." He told her, shrugging his shoulders. He knew that that was probably an understatement, but he didn't really want to seem like he was bragging about who he was or anything like that either.

[I'm so sorry I thought I replied DAMNIT MIBBA ]

Sebastian bit down on his lips softly as he listened to her quiet words. She was a sweet person and he couldn’t understand why someone would run just because she was having a child. It made him sick and angry; angrier than what he felt for his wife when she left him. He reached a hand out, placing it on her shoulder to give it a small squeeze. He soon dropped his hand and let go of his lip, nodding his head. “Yeah, she never wanted children and I did. She bailed out one night when we were all sleeping and I got the divorce papers in the mail a day after. I got full custody which I am so happy about. My girls are my life.” A smile soon reappeared on his face after mentioning his girls. No matter what the situation was, they would always make him happy. “Who’s helping you out now?” he asked slowly; hoping his wasn’t crossing any boundaries. He didn’t want to make her upset.

-

At the mention of acting made Rose squint her eyes at the man in front of her. It was like something clicked in her mind that she had seen his face before, but she just couldn’t picture where. She wasn’t sure if it was part of a television series or a movie, but she never watched too much of either of those considering she was stuck watching things of kids with the little ones around. She didn’t particularly enjoy watching anything on television either. Rose let out a small hum as she tapped her chin, “you are rather familiar,” she stated. “Have you done theatre?” she questioned, cocking her head to the side. She had always been more of a theatre person, she preferred to watch it than anything that was on a screen.

[You're fine, hun. No worries! ]

There were just certain things about people that she would never understand, and one of those things was why some left good people. Davina hadn't done anything wrong, so why had her ex abandoned her? Why had her family pretty much disowned her, claiming she'd disgraced their family name, and why would a woman leave someone like Sebastian, who already seemed like ten times the man her ex was, to raise two little girls by himself? It just didn't make any sense to her. Sure, sometimes bad things happened to good people, but she would never fully understand that or why it did happen. "Well, it sounds to me like you've done just fine without her around." She said quietly, the smallest of smiles tugging at the corners of her lips. It faltered slightly at his later words though. "Me, myself and I more or less."

---

Benedict had honestly wondered if she'd recognized him before he'd made the acting comment or not. It was hard to tell nowadays. Some people made it completely obvious, and others not so much. He didn't really know if Rose was one of those not so obvious cases or not. He sipped his drink, gauging her reaction. "I have actually." He said, nodding in response to her question. "Though I've been involved with television and films as well." He still didn't want to go into every last detail. He didn't want to brag, or possibly even bore her with all of the details about his acting career.

@ zima.
[SORRY RAN AWAY TO WORK/FREAK OUT OVER THE TICKETS I HAD TO BUY ]

“It would’ve been worse if I didn’t have Rose with me,” Sebastian admitted. It was true; he would not have been able to raise those kids by himself. It was hard enough for the first three weeks while he was by himself; he was so glad when Rose asked to move in with him and even offered to help with the kids. He wouldn’t know what to do if it wasn’t for her. At her words, Sebastian pursed his lips together and frowned as he looked between her and the ground; trying to find words. He honestly couldn’t believe that she had no one else for support. A girl like her should have all the support in the whole damn word. “I just don’t get it,” he mumbled to her, “I don’t get how a sweet, strong, beautiful woman only has herself. That is not right,” he added.

Rose nodded her head at his response as she settled back into the chair and finished off her drink. “I don’t watch television or films that much,” she stated with a small shrug, “I like theatre so much more. It is so much more excited.” She grinned over at the man before looking away to place her empty cup onto the table. The moment the cup hit the table, the twins were by her side with their eyes pleading to go. This was their routine, the moment she finished her coffee they would go straight to the park before heading home. Rose sighed as she looked from the twins to Benedict. “I got to take these ones to the park, but it was very nice to meet you Benedict.” She smiled warmly as she stood up from the table, throwing her handbag over her shoulder. She bit down on her lip softly as she placed her eyes back on him. She wasn’t sure why it was necessary, but she wanted him to come along. She had just scraped the surface of this man and deep down she wanted to know more. She had no one holding her back now, but she still felt weird. “Would you and Anastasia like to come as well?” she asked slowly with an unsure tone in her voice. She was terrified her ex would pop out of nowhere and slaughter her for inviting another man to come to the park with her; she knew it wouldn’t happen, but it still terrified her.
