After Mr Valenti left I lock my studio. I wonder if anyone will be in this time of day. I really don't know anymore. Its not like Im up to date with there lives. I should be though. And I feel awful about it. The two things that matter are my family and my work. And my family come first...or they should do.
I decide to jog home rather than take a bus or a taxi...it might get rid of some of these thoughts from my mind. As I jog, letting the wind blow through my hair...I wonder why I feel like this...why I feel so...alone.
I jog past families...most smiling. I wonder if I could do more for mine...
I sigh. "Lets just get home first" I mutter.
I jog up my street and up to the door. I go inside and go up the apartment. I fit the key in the lock and open the door.
"Hello?" I call out.

“I made them last night,” Serena says as she gestures toward the table where a container sits. I can't help but smile. She always seemed to be baking whenever I stayed late at the office and I would miss hearing about it until I ran into her another day. “Did you forget something? I thought that you were heading to the office for the day. Or did you decided that even a super lawyer like yourself deserves a Saturday off?”
“You were going to the office?” Tess ends up asking and I can see her wtinkle up her nose. She has always been disgusted with me working so much. “Why would you do that when you can spend the whole day hanging out with us?”
"Um.. I should go work on my novel." The new girl, Liz ends up saying and I note that she's looking at Tess. Then she turns toward the rest of us, "It was lovely to meet all of you. I'm sure that you'll show me how wonder New York really is." Our eyes meet and I have the strangest sensation course through my veins. The dark-haired angel doesn't move and I find myself trying to think of something to say.
“No!” Tess's exclaimation catches my attention and I turned to look at her as she continued. “You can’t leave yet. You still haven’t met everyone and I promised Maria that I would make sure that you settled in all right.”
Guilt flows through me as she mentions my girlfriends name. How could I have let myself forget. Damn. I've never been like this. When Tess turns to look at me and Serena, I hear her say, “Back me up here guys.”
Serena ends up interjecting as she nods in response, “You should stay a little bit longer but if you gotta work then you gotta work.”
“But its Saturday,” Tess ends up arguing and I can't help but smile at that. “And you said that you were planning to work on your book this afternoon. I figured that meant that you might want to hang out with us for a little while.”
"I should get to the office, I just forgot the keys to it. But..." I pause a moment and look back at the others, "I was considering it a sign that maybe I should take the day off." I glance over at Liz, again taken by her beauty. "Why don't you stick around a while? I'll make you a deal, you just got in right? Take today to rest and relax and I'll do the same. And, if anyone starts hearing me talk about cases that I'm dealing with, I give permission for you to smack me."
I would have said more, but I heard my sister's voice and smiled, "Isabel!" I called out, "We're in the kitchen!" I'm glad that I have the chance to see my sister too. It seems like it's been a very long time.

"Isabel!"
Max. Wow he is here...but then again...its a saturday...
What an idiot.
"We're in the kitchen!"
"Coming! I call out.
I take my coat and high heels off and head into the kitchen.
"Hey guys" I say as I walk over to my brother and give him a hug. I then walk over to Serena and hug her too. I look around and see Tess from Max's office and someone I don't know.
"Hi" I say with a smile.

ZAN
“Nice to meet you Zan. I hope Seth didn't wake you with his yell.” Alex says and I can’t tell if he’s being sincere or not.
“I was awake anyway,” I lie because really, admitting that his kid’s yelling was the reason I was awake doesn’t seem like the best way to get on Alex’s good side.
And I want to be on Alex’s good side, for Serena’s sake. Serena has always been close to her family especially Alex and her siblings. Which means that I need to make a good impression because if I don’t then Serena will be upset and I don’t want anything to upset Serena. I love her too much.
“Its nice to meet you too,” I say, feeling awkward and stupid. I glance down at Seth and feel slightly more awkward if that’s even possible. I like kids but I have no idea what to say or do when I’m around them. They are so unpredictable, they freak me out.
“Hello?” I hear Isabel call out.
"Isabel!" I hear Max call out in reply, "We're in the kitchen!"
Well, that’s a shock. Its very rare that both my siblings are home at the same time as me. Normally, we only caught quick glances of each other as we go about our own lives. Its crazy really but what can you do?
“Sounds like everyone is home,” I murmur, leading the way to the kitchen.
The less time I have to spend alone with Alex, the less chance there is of him hating me. Also, I’m pretty sure that Isabel and Max will make an excellent impression on him. What’s not to love about Max and Isabel? They are both hard working, successful people. They are also not dating Serena, which will probably seem like a bonus to him.
“Zan?” Serena says in shock as I walk into the kitchen. “What are you doing up?”
“I was going to get a drink,” I say, wrapping my arms around her waist and holding her tightly so that her back is flush with my chest. “But since everyone seems to be here, I think I’ll hang out for a while.”
“This is Liz, Maria and Tess’s new roommate,” She says with a beautiful smile that makes me wish that we were alone. “And it looks like you met Alex and Seth,”
She pulls away from me and quickly scoops Seth up into her arms. She hugs him tightly to her and presses a kiss to his forehead. I watch silently with my arms folded across my chest. Is it wrong to be jealous of a child?
“Its nice to meet you, Liz.” I say with a polite smile. “I hope that you know what you're letting yourself in for moving in with Maria and Tess!”
Tess gasps, “What’s that suppose to mean, Zan Evans?”
“I think that you know,” I grin, forcing myself to remain focused on everyone but Serena and the way she is clinging to Seth.

“You got so big,” I exclaim as I scoop Seth up and hug him tightly. God, I’ve missed him so much. I can’t believe that I managed to live without seeing him for so long. It feels like only yesterday that Abby was calling me up to tell me that she was pregnant. I press a kiss to Seth’s forehead. I wish that Abby was here now. Alex shouldn’t have had to raise Seth without her. That wasn’t the plan.
“Cookie!” Seth yells and I laugh. He reminds me of Alex when we were kids.
“Here you go,” I say, grabbing a cookie from the table while still balancing Seth on my left hip. Huh, I’m pretty good at this but damn, he is so heavy. I grin at Alex. Once again, feeling so happy to have them here in New York with me. “He’s just like you were when you were a kid.”

"How long have you been away from home for this business trip of yours?" Michael asks, and I smile at him before answering.
"Oh, only a wee-" I start, cut off when the plane jerks suddenly, taking down that kind flight attendant with the motion. Flustered, I watch her get up, looking embarrassed, as she walks into the cockpit, no doubt to talk to the pilot.
I feel myself visibly pale as I turn to Michael. "What was that?" I whisper, and instead of being reassured, the passenger behind me answers for Michael.
"It's probably the wings; they've been known to fail in these planes," The guy says frantically, gesturing out the window to the clear skies, before imitating a plane crashing. As if on cue, the plan jerks around a little more, so I tighten my seatbelt and face directly forward, feeling a bit queasy. Wings failing? That CAN'T be good. Then I feel my heart fly up in my chest and we start to plummet.
"Oh god," I say quietly, flipping out, when the intercom comes on.
Excuse me passengers of flight 113, we are experiencing some clear air turbulence, please put on your seatbelts and sit tight, we'll be fine.
Not believing the pilot, I check my seatbelt and turn to Michael, just in time for the plane to dip again, heading fast towards the ground.
"Oh my god! I'm not ready to die, I mean, I didn't tell Tess that I stole her heels yet, and I'm too young, I mean, I'm only 24! And I've never been in love yet, everyone needs to be in love before they die, and I haven't said goodbye to anyone, oh god, we're gonna die, we're gonna die," I say in a frantic whisper that's loud enough for Michael to hear the panic.
I am not good with planes. It would be horrible to die in one. The plane jerks again, and I grip Michael's hand on the armrest with a deathgrip, my knuckles turning white.
"Please don't let us die, please.""
ooc:Ruby, thanks for the help.

I smile when Zan mentions that he's already been awake - he certainly does look like he woke up just moments ago. Have to give the guy credit for trying though and Serena seems to like him so I guess he's one of the good guys. Taking Seth's hand, I follow Zan back to the kitchen where Max has appeared again along with a stunning tall blonde. She really is gorgeous, totally different than Abby but still beautiful.
My attention is drawn away from her when Serena envelops Seth in a big hug. I have to grin when the boy squirms a bit in mock annoyance even though I'm sure he's loving the female attention because ... well, normally he only has me. But before I can get all depressed again, I hear Serena's words.
"He’s just like you were when you were a kid.”
"Hey!" I say in mock outrage, briefly glancing at Seth who's happily munching on some cookies before looking back at my dear cousin. "How would you know? You were a kid too and I do remember some interesting stories that I'm sure Zan and the others would love to hear!"

I feel kind of...excluded....like I don't know anything about my families lives anymore. Theres several people I don't know in here and...
One in particular who I keep looking at. One in particular who is rather...well...dishy.
One who has a son.
I bet his son's mother is pretty. I bet the two of them are a perfect couple. Another good looking guy taken.
I watch as Serena joke how his son is like him.
"How would you know? You were a kid too and I do remember some interesting stories that I'm sure Zan and the others would love to hear!"
"I would" I say quickly giving a small smile. I want to hear him speak again.

I look up when Ms 'Blonde and Beautiful' says that she is interested in stories about Serena as a kid.
"Hey, I'm Alex Whitman, Serena's cousin." I introduce myself. I rub my hands in gleeful manner and send Serena an evil look - which goes totally unnoticed by my son who is only paying attention to his cookies at the moment.
"Well, there was this one time when we were seven, well I was seven and Ms. Serena was six and we decided to find out whether it is possible to burn snow or not ..."
