The next morning Cari had left her boyfriend in the hotel room they were sharing while she went to pick up her niece and nephew for the day. They were excited to see their aunt and they both briefly remembered the old times when their aunt lived with them and helped raise them. She was such a large part of her life that it hurt them terribly when she was gone. Last night she had talked Jamie into keeping their marker and crayon scribbles on the wall. It was a nice gesture and she had an idea that would turn those scribbles immortal.
"Mornin' Auntie!" They chimed as they grabbed their coats and put on their winter boots.
Jamie poured himself a cup of coffee, he offered some to his sister but she declined. "I forgot you don't like coffee." he said with a light chuckle. There were a lot of things that Jamie seemed to forget about her. He wanted to voice his opinions on her boyfriend and a few other issues but she seemed too happy and it had been a long time since he had seen her like that.
"It's fine." Cari said with a dismissive wave. "We're going to spend the morning with Reinier's mom until she has to go to work and then we're going to run some errands. Was there anything that you needed to have done by the time you get home from work?"
Jamie sighed and set his cup down on the counter before writing a simple list of things he needed to do for the day. His handwriting was little more than chicken scratch, but to his sister it was perfectly legible. When they were younger she often helped her brother with his homework. Looking at him, it was hard to believe that the tall man of an even six feet and well over two hundred pounds was ever so tiny. He had been a beanpole for most of his life, until puberty kicked in and he gained inches and pounds like a madman. Cari leaned against the counter as she studied her brother. He still had that same old t-shirt that their dad gave him? It was an old worn out band shirt, the band logo wasn't even visible anymore but she knew what shirt that was by heart. It was the Grateful Dead t-shirt that their dad got way back in the day. Jamie crossed his inked arms across his chest before leaning against the opposite counter.
"You know, the kids would love it if you moved back." he said finally. "They miss you Care Bear."
"I know, I miss them too but the museum is up there and I don't think I can transfer." She said with a loud sigh; the kids had been told to go get some clothes ready since they'd be staying the night with their aunt. Cari ran a hand through her red locks before looking at her brother again.
They fell into silence until Jamie looked at the clock on the wall and decided it was time for him to go to work. He hugged his sister before hunting his kids down and giving them hugs and goodbye kisses. "I'll see you guys later." He said before grabbing his coat and keys.
A little while later the kids were packed up and ready to go. Cari locked the door before taking the bags from the kids and putting them in her trunk. Finny and Ada quickly buckled themselves in before Cari checked to see if they were secure and when she was satisfied she drove back to the hotel to get Reinier.

"Hey Jamie."
Candy, the owner of the shop said as he passed through the doors. "Where's the kiddos?"
"Cari's watching them while I’m here." He said as he wriggled out of his coat. He put it in the small coat area before heading to his station to get everything ready for the day. "She's back in town for the month and the kids wanted to stay with her since she doesn't get to visit much." Jamie said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"She can always get a job down here, I'll hire her." Candy said as she swept a little. She knew the situation with his sister and Candy was more than accepting of Cari.
"I doubt she'll leave the museum....Or her boyfriend."[1]

Reinier's mom was more than thrilled to see the kids and she asked if they wanted to help her make chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. Cari offered to help but she declined the offer so Cari was sitting in the kitchen while Reinier was in the living room on his phone.
"Your son is an amazing singer." Cari said to Marie as she handed Finny and Ada the chocolate chips. "Derek was his name, right?"
Marie nodded with a large smile on her face. "He takes after his father. Richard loved music but he likes his job as a doctor more."
"You married a doctor?" Finny asked.
"Yes." Marie smiled warmly.
"Then why are there apples in the counter?" Ada pointed to the bowl of ripe red apples on the counter in a decorative bowl. Cari and Marie couldn't help but to laugh a little.
She excused herself so she could make a quick phone call. "Excuse me, is this the Garretson Toy Store?" Cari hoped that she had the right phone number.

1. So Jamie doesn't like Reinier in anyways really. I'll explain this later~

Hmm...
I currently have a lot of roleplays, so as of right now I'll have to decline but when I'm able to take another roleplay I'm always up for a roleplay.

Finally got a post up!
The two adults seemed to be a little surprised that she owned she shop; they had assumed she was a niece of the late owners or something. The kids seemed disappointed that Samantha had to leave already but the kept quiet and didn't make a fuss like some kids would have. They were quiet kids until it came to singing, or trying to make music, then they became little sound monsters. They waved to Samantha and went back to drinking their cocoa and whispering to each other.
"It was nice meeting you, Sam." Cari said before taking another drink of her own cocoa. She watched her niece and nephew for a few minutes before checking her phone to see if Reinier had called. She had a bad habit of turning the ringer off and would miss calls like mad. He hadn't called her or sent her a text so she assumed he was busy with something.
Jamie smiled, "Yeah..See you later." He was always a little bit awkward around females in general. He sighed and turned back to his sister and kids before smiling slightly. "Did you two have fun?"
"Yeah!" Both of the kids said; each had a little hot cocoa moustache and Jamie couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright you three, I want a picture." Cari said as she pulled out her phone again. "Come on Jamie, smile this time!" The kids had climbed over to their dad and were sitting in his lap with large smiles on their faces. Jamie gave the camera a smile and soon Cari had enough photos. Maybe she could ask Samantha to do some family portraits. It had been years since their last one. Jamie had work tomorrow so Cari and Reinier were going to watch the kids before going over to Cari's parents' house for lunch. They hadn't met Reinier yet so tomorrow was going to be a big day for them.
"What's got you thinking so hard?" Jamie asked as he helped Finny tie his shoes.
"Just thinking about stuff I need to get done for tomorrow." Cari smiled.
Jamie nodded and soon they decided it was time to leave when the kids were beginning to get sleepy.

I'll get a reply up tomorrow~
"Daddy draws on people." Finny said, "And Auntie works on morals." Ada finished. Both beamed with happiness; they loved to talk about what their dad and aunt did for a living since both things were pretty cool to them.
Jamie hadn't taken his coat or scarf off since leaving his house, so none of his tattoos were visible. "They mean to say that I'm a tattoo artist." Jamie worked at a local shop called 'Ink or Die’; it was run by a very unassuming, petite woman with a big personality. The kids called her Aunt Candy and she usually helped Jamie babysit his kids from time to time. He'd known Candy (it was a nickname) since he was a junior in high school. She had been one of his few friends while in school and they both shared the same passion for art. It was actually Candy who introduced him to Gloria, his ex and the mother of his children. There were days that he helped Derek and the guys, since he had tattooed a few of them and got to know them.
"My sister works in a museum." Jamie said as Carrington swiped a cookie off of the plate and turned her attention to the band that was playing so the kids wouldn't see her eat the cookie. They had divided up the cookies evenly and their aunt stealing one would throw a wrench into their plans. "Don't you Cari?" Jamie lightly kicked his sister's shin under the table.
"Hm? Oh yeah - I work in a museum...well a few actually from time to time. I do murals for them and stuff like that." She explained as she took a sip of her still hot cocoa. "If they need a mural or just something painted to make an exhibit a hit, I do it for them." Her eyes never strayed far from the band. It was a wonder to her that Reinier never really talked about his brother or family much. He had wonderful parents and his brother was talented. She often talked of her family and their accomplishments so why didn't he talk about his? In the background she could hear the kids talking loudly about the stuff their dad did, who their Aunt Candy was and the times that they got to visit Carrington's work.
Jamie smiled and listened to his kids talk. They reminded him a lot of himself when he was a little kid.
"So are you the only worker at the toy store?" Jamie asked as he set his mug down on the table.
The kids had drifted to figuring out who ate the last cookie and his sister was smiling slyly behind her hand as she listened to the two children.

Yeah. I slipped into a funk last night and just....nothing seemed to come to mind when I thought of how to reply. I'm working on a reply right now but it might be a bit on the short side compared to my others. :/
:3 I like both ideas. After a bit more interactions between the characters then we could bring in the whole wandering away thing~
They'd ask multiple times if Sam could be their mom. It'd be cute if the kids ask other people if they think Sam would be a good mom for them.
