Life's Struggles [1x1]

Morgan

Sitting down against the wall and pulling out her phone and unlocking it with her password. Sliding up and hitting the messages and pressing the first name that came up Carter with a heart emoji after it. “Still at the barn apparently Addy ran into Simon’s ex. Things didn’t do so well.....I mean if you want to come you can or I’ll come back to the house in a little once Addy’s good.” Sending the text and then putting her phone  in her lap with a quiet sigh. Blinking her light blue eyes and inhaling a little breath eyes glancing back towards the bathroom that was shut now. Biting her lip nervously and then dropping and lifting her hand to bite the end of her nails nervously as she waited alone in the horse barn some people walking by every now and then. 

Addy

Clinging to Simon and letting him rock her as her sobs began to quiet down within a few moments of being in his arms. “H-Hayley......” stating the name like venom on her tongue and clinging more to side. Shaking and feeling hot tears begin to form in her hazel-green eyes. “That she doesn’t care which home Ransom goes to and I made my offer and she said it’s not enough and it’s icing on the cake that your my boyfriend.....” pressing her head against his chest with a sniffle and increasing her grip on his sides and the hand she was holding. Sniffling again and choking out more words that came hard for her to say. Addy pulling away and blinking her hazel-green eyes to look into Simon’s brown ones “S-sh-she said that I wouldn’t be a problem and that eventually you’ll get tired of me and go back to her.....” pausing Addy sniffled and bit the corner of her lip and then pressing once more into his chest with a shake. “Is it true....though that you’ll get tired of me....” voice cracking and clinging to him like a lost puppy.

Carter

Carter pulled out of the parking lot, turning down the usual route he would take home. He heard a ding from his phone, pulling to a stop sign he picked up his phone seeing Morgan's name pop up. Tapping in his password he read the message briefly. 'Okay. I'll meet you guys back at the house,' he responded, throwing his phone back in the passenger seat an pulling off. The twenty minute drive felt like forever, Carter hitting every red light in between. He pulled into the driveway, climbing out and hearing Buffy barking in excitement that someone was home. Unlocking the door, Carter immediately went over to the dog crates, letting each dog out to go potty. He stood on the porch watching them for a moment, sitting on the bench to relax. 

Simon

Simon continued to rock back and forth almost unconsciously as Addy began to speak. Anger began to form in the pit of his stomach at the words that were repeated to him. "Addy... love," he began, "I have no intention of ever leaving you and certainly not to go back to her. She's only speaking ill about us because she's jealous. I will never, ever get tired of you." He leaned in giving her a kiss, brushing away a few stray tears on her cheeks. "I love you Addy, and only you." He brought back in for a tighter hug for another moment. "As for Ransom, I don't really know what to tell you about that." 

Morgan

Continuing to it in the barn hallway hearing horses snorting and then her phone going off with a text from Carter. Reading the text and unlocking her phone with her password. “Sounds good be ready for the tickle fight later. Xoxo Morgan” sending it and then putting her phone back down and light blue eyes traveling to a black horse in a stall. Getting up and walking to his stall with a small smile on her face. Holding out her hand and letting Ransom sniff her hand and then rubbing his muzzle gently with her palm. Ransom giving a sniff snort and stepping foreward with a loud whinny nosing Morgan’s palm.

Addy

Blinking her hazel-green eyes and letting out another muffled cry hiding her face in the crook of his neck clinging to him tighter. Hearing his reassuring words and breathing in the comforting scent he emitted. “B-but..... I mean she is prettier than me and you probably would be better off with her than me......besides I have way too many flaws for you....your perfect to me....” stuttering the broken up sentence with more tears forming in her hazel-green eyes. Addy blinking the tears away and shaking still in Simon’s lap. “I m-me-mean I’m not perfect and if you eventually want her she’d be perfect for you.....” voice cracking again and pressing her face back into the crook of his neck with a sniffle again. “I love you too.....probably more than anyone I’ve ever met and truth be told I’d be lost and broken without you.” Moving her face and kissing his cheek gently with another sniffle “C-can you try talking to Hayley about Ransom....all it is is like a couple more hundred dollars....c-can you try reasoning with her.....pretty please with a cherry and extra kisses for later on top?” Giving another kiss to Simon’s cheek and hugging him tighter hands wrapping around him and holding tighter to him.

Carter

Carter heard another ding from his phone, digging the device out of his pocket and opening the message. 'You wish :p you'll have to catch me first,' he sent back. Standing up from the bench, he whistled for the dogs to come, all of them bounding up the stairs of the porch and filing inside. Pearl gave a loud bark, circling around the other dogs wanting to play. Pepper backed away, going into the living room not really wanting to be a part of it. Carter walked into the kitchen, opening the fridge in search of something to eat. He opened his messages with Morgan again, 'What do you want for dinner?' 

Simon

Shifting in his sitting position, Simon listened to Addy's words finding them somewhat disheartening. "Don't compare yourself to her or anyone else, in my eyes you are the most perfect and most beautiful," he spoke placing another kiss on her lips, "Okay?" He raised his eyebrow for conformation that she understood. He smiled at her telling him she loved him. "I will try my best with reasoning with her," he laughed at her pleading. Squeezing her in a hug, his lips right next to her ear, whispering, "I love you so much." After a moment he released his grip. "Are you ready to go now, or are we going to hide out in the bathroom some more?"

Morgan

Picking her phone up as the text went off and giggling at the message he sent her. Sliding it open and phone buzzing again with him asking what she wanted for dinner. “Um Hamburgers or Taco’s surprise me Beck.” Sending it with a heart emoji at the end and then standing up when she heard the door to the bathroom open. Seeing Addy glued to Simon’s side and still wrapped close to his side. “You better now Addy?” One eyebrow raising and rubbing a hand down her strawberry red hair. Light blue eyes showing concern for her friend still and giving a little hug and stepping back away from Morgan. “What do you want for dinner Addy, Hamburgers or Tacos?” Smiling and Hearing the muffled response from Addy keeping her red and swollen face in Simon’s crook of his neck. “Siri call Carter with emoji heart” hearing the phone dial and holding it to her ear waiting for Carter to answer the phone. Hearing the phone go through and sighing with relief “So for Dinner um, don’t surprise me babe, Addy requests Tacos so if you fix that with like something else small for the side we’re all good.” Pausing and then continuing on “So I’m heading bsck I guess they are as well....l gotta go but I love you and for making dinner I have extra kisses left over....” hanging up and walking to the car outside the barn.

Addy

Hearing Simon’s heartfelt words gave goosebumps to her arms. Nodding and understanding what he was saying “That’s not possible since I love you more than you love me.” Grinning at her complicated sentence and inhaling Simon’s musky scent he emitted helping her calm down. Hazel-green eyes widening with happiness and leaning foreward giving him quick and excited kisses all over his face and ending with one kiss on the lips “What would I do without you?” hazel-green eyes shining with love and grinning back at him “I wish but, I think that someone’s waiting for us in the hallway and I can get more one on one time at home.” Shifting up and holding out a hand and pulling up Simon. Moving to unlock the door and keeping glued to his side and hiding her face in the crook of his neck with a gentle sigh. Hearing Mirgan’s Words and nodding slowly “Um T-tacos?” Responding with a pause and feeling Morgan give her a hug. Still staying close to Simon’s side and pulling away for a moment. Hand going to he roocket and pulling out her car keys “Here you can drive I don’t feel like it.....” passing the keys to Simon and resuming back to her position with her face hiding in the crook of his neck.

Carter

Carter gave up his search for food momentarily, playing tug o' war with Pearl in the living room while Pepper wagged his tail beside Carter on the couch watching. He heard his phone ding and then begin to buzz shortly after, answering it to the sound of Morgan's voice. Pearl barked, irritated that the game had abruptly stopped. "Shhh," Carter told her, standing from the couch and walking into the hallway. "Hey," he said before listening to her talk. "Okay, I can do that. See you soon. Love you too." He hung up the phone, placing it on the kitchen counter and opening up the fridge once again. Pulling out hamburger meat and all the fixings for the toppings of the tacos as well and then grabbing the tortillas and hard shells as well. Walking to the pantry, he then pulled out a box of instant rice and began to cook on the stove top. Pearl bowed playfully at Pepper, barking at him wanting him to come off the couch and play with him, but Pepper refused. Pearl catching sight of Minnie, ran over to her sniffing her before the feline dashed away and ran somewhere, probably to one of the bedrooms. 

Simon

Simon nodded his head smiling, "If you say so." Laughing at Addy's remark before standing up and walking out of the bathroom next to Addy. He held his hand out taking the keys from her. Wrapping an arm around her, he pulled her close walking to the barn doors and exiting. Going to the passenger side of the car, he opened the door. "After you," he said with a smile, letting Addy climb in before closing the door shut and walking over to the driver's side and climbing in himself. Starting the car he pulled out of the parking spot and began to drive down the gravel driveway away from the barn. Taking a hand from the wheel, he reached over and grabbed Addy's hand giving it a squeeze. 

Morgan

Walking to her car and unlocking it, opening the door and putting on her seatbelt once in the seat. Starting up her car and beginning to back out of her spot and start the drive to the house. Driving down the gravel road and and beginning the 15 minute drive to the house. After driving back to the house and pulling in next to Carter’s car. Turning her car off and unlocking her seatbelt. Walking to the front door and opening it. “I’m home Addy and Simon should be here any minute.” Dropping her keys in the bowl on the shelf and grinning hearing Ryker’s loud bark. “Come here babies.” Voice geting softer and dropping to her knees with her arms open wide. Morgan giggling as Ryker bolted into her arms giving her kisses and wagging his butt. “You know your dad could greet me like this and I wouldn’t mind.” Giggling and rubbing all three dogs now that we’re in front of her. Ryker giving another loud bark and running to the kitchen where Carter was giving another sharp bark and then bolting around and barreling into Morgan giving a playful whine and rubbing his big body against hers. Sitting down on the kitchen floor with all the dogs around her and planting gentle kisses to there heads. Raising her head up from the kisses she was giving Pearl and seeing Simon and Addy in the doorway and Addy announce she was going to set the table. “I can help.” Getting up and going to the sink to wash her hands. Getting the silverware and the napkins beginning to place them around the table.

Addy

Following Simon and stepping in when he opened the door for her. Putting her seatbelt on and grabbing Simon’s free hand he dropped for her. “Am I really prettier than Hayley?” Asking the question softly and looking down at Simon’s hand she was holding onto. Blinking her hazel-green eyes and turning her head to look out the window letting her light blonde hair fall in front of her face. After a while of driving and Simon pulling into the driveway of there home. Unbuckling and getting out waiting for Simon and when he got out hand lacing back with his. Walking to the fence and unlatching it entering through and walking up the steps on the porch going to the door and opening it. “We’re home......” pausing and tugging foreward to the mouth watering smell coming from the kitchen. Stopping and seeing Morgan on the floor with the dogs and smiling gently at her. Gemni pricked her ears hearing Addy’s voice rubbing towards the door and following them to the kitchen. Licking Addy’s palm and laying down on the floor next to the stove with puppy dog eyes ready to catch any fallen food item if Carter dropped something. Addy giving one last squeeze to Simon’s hand and dropping it Making her way to the cabinet and pulling out four plates. “Anyone wanna help?” Raising a brow and beginning to set the plates on the table. Morgan jumping up and going to the sink to wash her hands. Looking to Simon with a grin and then to Carter “Just try to make the food edible for us.” Placing the plates on the table and then moving to get the cups.

Carter

Standing at the stove with the dog's at his feet waiting for him to drop something. Humming away to a tune he heard on the radio earlier, Carter set the pan with the seasoned taco meat aside, he used the open flame to warm the tortillas, adding rice to the boiling water in the pot next and stirring it. He heard the door opening, turning with a smile to see the dogs run to Morgan. "Dinner is almost ready," he said with a laugh. Turning back to the stove, the rice was done and the tortillas were warmed. He began dicing the tomatoes, putting them into a small bowl and then pouring the bag of lettuce into its own and bowl, and same with the cheese. "Come on Simon, help me put the food on the table," Carter spoke, picking up the bowls and placing them in the center of the table. "I'm a good cook thank you very much," he replied to Addy with a laugh playfully. Walking back in the kitchen, he pulled the sour cream and taco sauce out of the fridge, placing them on the table with everything else. 

Simon

Simon glanced over at Addy for a moment as they drove down the road. "Without a doubt," he spoke with a smile, returning his eyes to the road, turning down the street they lived on and soon pulling into the driveway. Stepping out of the car, he came back to Addy's side, lacing his fingers with hers, walking through the gate and up the porch stairs. Stepping through the doorway, he placed the keys in the bowl and followed Addy into the kitchen after the delicious smell of food. Buffy bounded over jumping up on Simon and placing a big slobbery kiss across his. "Alright alright, I get it, your happy to see me." He pushed the happy canine off of him. "Zitten," he commanded, Buffy sitting immediately, her tail wagging furiously behind her. Simon gave her pat on the head, kissing her nose and pointing for her to go lay down somewhere. "Liggen." Buffy obeyed, trotting off away from the kitchen and dining room, picking a toy from the basket and chewing on it, making it squeak. Simon heard his name, nodding at Carter's request to help and walking over. Grabbing the pan of taco meat and placing it on the table on top of the pot holder, doing the same with the pot of rice. He laughed at Carter's remark to Addy, "He's a much better cook than me at least." The table was pretty much set now. "Now what does everyone want to drink?"

Morgan

Getting the plates around and watching with her light blue eyes as Carter prepared there meal. Sitting down in her seat which was beside Carter’s and across from Addy’s. “Um I’ll take a water please.” Answering Simon’s question and watching Carter place the food on the table. “So did anyone have a good day and any exciting news to tell ?” Raising an eyebrow and sitting back in her chair she was in. Ryker giving a loud bark and walking to the couch jumping on it. Spinning in a circle once and then laying down with a snort escaping his muzzle. Morgan blinked her light blue eyes and turned her head towards the couch with a grin “Someone’s tired from the training I put them through with basic commands.” Rolling her eyes and giggling turning back to Carter and focusing on him. Turning back to Addy and nodding her head listening to the conversation she spoke. “I haven’t met any of Carter’s family yet....but, I guess when he wants me to meet them I’ll be ready.” Turning a shade of red and then looking to her plate.

Addy

“That’s fantastic to know, maybe you should teach Simon some of your cooking skills.” Laughing and then watching Carter place the food on the table. “I’ll take a coke, please” answering Simin’s question and turning back to Morgan who sat across from her “Well mine was fairly good despite some certain people......I got to meet one of Simon’s relatives which was ok I guess.....” swallowing and turning back to Simon with a small smile on her face. “But at least he came with me so I wasn’t alone.” Blinking her hazel-green eyes and sitting back in her chair she was in. Gemni lifted her head and moved her body up into a sitting position raising her paws up and begging for a peice of food.

Carter

A smile cracked across his face as he laughed, "Perhaps, but his cooking is really bad." He looked to Simon laughing even more from the expression on his face. "Kidding, kidding...sort of, I mean you did burn water in a pot." He placed the last dish of food on the table, taking his seat next to Morgan. "I'll take water as well," he added after Morgan. Giving a soft kiss on the cheek he thought about his day. "Well, the mama dog that I told you about finally settled down," he spoke, "Oh and I have this." He pulled a card out of his pocket, holding it out to Morgan. "Now you can just walk into the back of the rescue center without bothering the poor secretary." He laughed and then listened to Addy talk about her day. "Oh, that's right I forgot to tell you earlier. My mom called and said the she and my dad along with my brother would be coming down to visit, I think tomorrow."

Simon

Simon glared at Carter talking about his awful cooking, throwing his hands up in defeat. "You got me there," he said walking to the cabinet and pulling out four cups. Pouring Addy's coke, Morgan and Carter's water, and his own root beer, he carried the glasses and placed them down before taking his own seat next to Addy. He listened to Carter and Addy speak, reaching over and grabbing Addy's hand. He began to draw patterns with his thumb. He looked up, smiling. "I'm glad that I came along with you today, although I was looking forward to riding a pony today," he said with a childish pout. 

Morgan

Grinning as Carter talked about it his day and leaning into his kiss. Blinking her light blue eyes and grabbing at the plastic card he held out for her “The secretary loves me I’m like practically her best friend. But the card does suit me and makes me feel like a very important Morgan.” Giggling and then smiling as Carter talked about how his family wanted to come tomorrow. Light blue eyes widening and swallowing the hard lump forming in her throat. “Me....they want to meet me as in Morgan Blackwell....” speaking softly and a smile forming in her face with happinesses shining in her light blue eyes. “Carter....are they going to like me......I mean love me.” Swallowing again and taking a sip of the iced water and placing her glass down looking at her plate “I mean you love me....” biting her lip and turning to Carter with anxiety now shining in her light blue eyes. “I mean I want them to love me....they’ll love me right?” Asking the question that panicked her about meeting Carter’s family. “They have to love me right? I could be there future daughter-in-law one day and I need to make a good impression on them...” rambling and then dropping her free hand for Carter to grab easily.

Addy

Listening intently to the conversation with a small giggle escaping her mouth when Carter spoke about Simon’s cooking skills “I mean he could probably find a way to burn peanut butter if he tried.” Turning to Simon and smirking at him with a playful eye roll. “I can put you on Fontanne tomorrow but, if you can’t handle him I’ll put you Daisy.” Smiling st the thought and then blinking her hazel-green eyes feeling the tracing on her palm that Simon did to relax her. Smiling as she heard Carter say his family wanted to meet Morgan. “I’d be worried about making an impression too....I mean it’s a big deal with meeting them...but, I wouldn’t mind meeting your parents.” Turning to Simon with a devious grin and leaning into his side. Clearing her throat and taking a sip of her coke and placing the glass down in the table. “I already met Bailey and he’s ok...a bit intimidating and taller to me....but your parents I don’t think would be that bad.” Addy looked down at her plate once before moving her eyes back to Simon’s “If you ever wanted me to meet them or they ever wanted to meet me....” pausing her sentence and then squeezing Simon’s hand gently. Addy blinking her hazel-green eyes and turning to Morgan with a smile “They’ll love you Morgan....I mean your likeable and friendly and Carter adores you....plus you have a bubbly personality and I’m shy with new people I meet...” Taking a hard taco shell and placing it on her plate with a spoonful of the rice next to it.

Carter

Carter thanked Simon for the drink, grabbing a warm tortilla and filling it with everything except sour cream. He then took a scoop of rice and set it on his plate. Laughing at Addy talk about Simon's poor cooking skills and seeing Simon's expression. Taking a bite of his taco, he chewed slowly then looked to Morgan with a smile. "Well yeah, my mom has been pestering me for a while now," Carter spoke in between bites of taco and rice. Listening to her become more and more worried about meeting them, Carter dropped his fork on his plate and reached for Morgan's hand. "Don't worry, they will all love you." He gave her hand a light squeeze leaning in for a kiss. "And they aren't allergic to dogs, I mean Pearl lived with us for years remember." He leaned in for another kiss. "I love you... and they will love you too." He dropped her hand, picking up his fork and taking a bite of rice. Carter looked up from his plate at Simon, answering, "They said sometime after noon."

Simon

Simon looked at Addy with a pout still on his face, "Hey, at least I try my best." He hung his head playfully, unable to hold up the acting as a smile crept on his lips. "You mean I can go back with you tomorrow," he said excitedly and childlike. He leaned in, kissing Addy on the lips. He turned back grabbing himself a tortilla, creating a supreme taco. Then took a spoon full of rice and dumped it on his plate. He listened to the conversation of meeting families as he took bites out of his taco. He finished off his taco, looking up from his plate. "Well yeah, of course you'll meet them, maybe my grandparents too," he spoke with a smile, "And Bailey is always like that with everyone, it's just who he is." He picked up another tortilla and began fixing another taco for himself. "So Carter when is your family coming in tomorrow?"

Morgan

Hearing the reassuring words and leaning into Carter’s kiss. “I just hope they don’t find me annoying.....because honestly meeting them would make my day then I could find out where you get your stunning looks from.” Giggling and lifting her hand up grabbing a soft tortilla shell and placing it on her plate. Morgan let out a small sigh of relief blinking her light blue eyes and reaching for the beef. Making her taco and folding up the ends, scooping the rice on her plate and beginning to eat the meal slowly on her plate. Light blue eyes blinking softly and smiling after she swallowed another bite of the taco. “Um babe your cooking from now on.” Turning a little red and then going back to eating her taco and rice on her plate. Taking a sip of her water and placing the cup back on the table. Ryker getting up from his spot and walking to the bedroom of Morgan and Carter’s jumping up on the bed and laying stretched out on both sides. Morgan swallowed the last peice of her taco and washed it down with another large sip of her water turning from Simon to Carter hoping Carter knew what time they would come. “Before they come we need to vacuum and clean the house a bit more.” Sitting back in the chair with a content smile forming in her face.


Addy

Smiling at Simon’s words of telling her she got to meet his parents and grandparents soon. Addy taking a deep breath and shaking her head slowly with a smile forming “Maybe your brother and his girlfriend can be sick when we meet....definitely not a fan of Bailey’s girlfriend.” Giggling and blinking her hazel-green eyes gently. Loading up her taco with the required stuff she normally put on it and taking bites and chewing until she finished. Addy took the coke in the cup taking a large sip and placing it on the table beside her plate. Clearing her throat and looking to Simon with a smile forming “Depending on the weather we could take a trail ride and leave them alone for meeting the parents...unless they need us there.” Turning to Carter and raising a brow and then back to Simon hoping one of them would like the plan. “Would your parents like me?” Asking the simple question Addy wanted to know that gnawed in her insides to find out the answer. Gemni rolled over standing up in her four legs, black and white tail wagging quickly behind her. Moving towards the couch and jumping on it with a small bark.

Carter

Carter laughed, shaking his head, "They'll love you just as much as I do." He grabbed a hard taco shell this time, dumping it full of everything and taking a bite, the shell beginning to fall apart and some of the insides spilling on the plate. He ate slowly for a moment, lift his head and swallowing the bite only when Addy speak. He shrugged, "I'm sure we'll be fine, but you guys can do whatever you like." He took another bit of the taco, more of the insides falling on the plate making him realize just why he never ate hard tacos. Giving up on eating the taco in one piece, he set it his plate, allowing it to completely fall apart. Taking a sip of his water, Carter picked up his fork and began mixing the rice on his plate with the fallen apart taco, scooping it up and taking a bite. He laughed at Morgan enjoying the food, "I suppose I could." He finished off his plate, stuffed from the meal. A wet nose hit his hand causing him to look down and seeing Pearl and Pepper sitting side by side under the table. He laughed at the two both trying their hardest to put on the biggest puppy eyes. Pushing his chair back a little, he scratched both of them behind the ear not giving in to their begging. He drank the last of his water, nodding at Morgan. "Of course." He finally stood from his seat, picking up his plate and cup and walking over to the sink, rinsing them both before placing them in the dishwasher. Pearl and Pepper both on his heels, Carter shook his head pulling out the box of milkbones appearing with one each for the two of them. 

Simon

Simon nodded, "I'll make sure of that." He finished off his second taco, gulping down the last of his root beer. "That's sounds good to me," he said looking to Carter who acted indifferent, "If we come back in time, maybe we'll meet them too." He smiled at the thought of Addy meeting his parents, imagining the whole situation. In the beginning of the relationship they weren't totally open with the idea, but he was sure they would love her now. "I think they would," he replied with a smile on his face. Buffy laid on the floor of the living room, her nose poking under the couch where Minnie was curled up. A sharp bark of play came from the canine, catching Simon's attention. "Buffy," he called as he stood from his seat. The canine quickly rushed to him earning a praising pat on the head, "Would you leave the poor cats alone?" The canine wagged her tail playfully, looking back at the couch where Minnie was slowing appear from her attention instantly on the cat again. Bowing playfully, Buffy let out another sharp bark, rushing back over to couch and shoving her nose into Minnie's face, earning her a hiss and a slap to the face. Simon shook his head, picking up his plate and looking to Addy, "Are you done with your plate, I can get it for you."

Morgan

Finishing her taco and rice that she ate, picking up the glass of water and finishing that off as well. Nodding and lifting her plate up and grabbing her empty glass following Carter to the kitchen with her stuff in tow. Placing them in the dishwasher and then walking beside Carter to where the dog milkbones were on the counter. Morgan giving a smile and blinking her light blue eyes watching the two dogs take the milkbone eargerly. “Ryker c’mon buddy.” Calling his name a bit louder and taking two milkbones out for him. Ryker Hearing his name being called lifted his head off the sofa and stood up jumping off and walking to the kitchen. Sitting down and lifting his front paws going into a begging pose and giving a head tilt  at Morgan. Smiling at Ryker’s antics and giving him the two milkbones shaking her head with a giggle. “Now these three have faces that I can never say no to.” Looking at Ryker, Pearl and Pepper her smile widening. “Who wants to go out to the yard....hmmm.” Making her voice get all excited and then walking to the door and holding it open for the dogs. Following out after them and  glancing back at Carter and motioning with her head for him to follow if he wanted to. Sitting  on the steps with a smile planted on her face. Ryker barreling our the door that Morgan  held open. Running down the steps and into the yard giving a loud playful bark turning to Pearl and Pepper with his butt wagging.

Addy

Finishing her taco and then drinking the last of her root beer handing it to Simon with a smile. Getting up and going to the dog treat container and grabbing four bones “Gemni, Buffy come.” Calling then and then smiling as Gemni got up from her spot making her way to where Addy was. Giving the treat to each dogs and bending down to there level her smile growing wider. Planting a kiss to each dogs head and pulling them close to her in a hug. Addy breathing in the smell they both dogs had and kissing there heads once more. “I love both of you very much.” Telling it to both dogs and then standing up following after Morgan outside “I’ll be outside if you want to come Crimm.” Saying his last name and extending the “m” on the end. Sitting down on the swinging bench with a content sigh escaping her lips. Gemni not being fast enough with the others stood at the door placing her paws on the door giving a sharp bark to indicate her being left behind. Looking st Simon and pawing at the door and giving another sharp bark.
