Adam smiles as Destinee jumps up, "Hi there! How are you doing?" he looks around the park, he likes animals so this was a cool place for him, he looked down at Folcon and smiled, "Hey dude!" he pats the dog and looks at Destinee, "Am I right in calling him a dude?" he says with an awkward laugh.

"A puppy! A puppy!" Cassie rolls her eyes as Jody yells at her over and over and tugs at the sleeve of her coat. It was always the same when they came to the park. The first time she saw a dog she demanded a puppy. Cassie growls under her breath and shakes her head. "How many times LJ? We can't have a dog. We have little kids in the house." Jody pouts at her. "Twins want puppy too!" she says, petulantly slapping Cassies arm.

Cassie gives Jody a stern look when the kid slaps her arm, and she grips onto Karoliena a little tighter as she gently pushes the twins in their stroller. Jody stops pouting for a second, to look up and listen to Karoliena. As much as she was new around her, Jody already saw her as a parental figure, largely because she had only ever had Cassie, and Karoliena had arrived and been so nice to her. She walks around and stares up at Kari. "I look after puppy, I no let it hurt my twins." she blinks. "Pleeeease lady," she pouts again.

Cassie can't help but to smile a little when Jody goes to Karoliena. She was way smarter than her age, and she clearly knew how to play the two off against each other, even if Cassie was right there. She squeezes Kari's hand a little tighter when she manages to refuse Jodys request. She knew that couldn't be easy when she was still trying to fit in with the whole family unit. Jody, like a little genius, spies the weakness in Kari's words though. She pulls her best puppy dog eyes, looking so like Cassie now, and blinks repeatedly. "lady, I walk puppy and I clean him too," she reasons. "I can do it. please lady. You nice lady. Not like mommy..." She says, which upsets Cassie immensely, causing her to turn her head away.

Cassie narrows her eyes a little as if trying not to show she's upset at Jodys rather cutting words. She knew her daughter didn't mean it. The two of them were like best friends and always had been. This was just Jodys way to get the puppy she wanted badly. But still, it hurt Cassie to even hear her say it. She nods and hugs into Karoliena. "I'm ok. That just hurt," she says with a forced smile. Jody on the other hand is rather shocked at Kari's reaction when she talks bad of Cassie. Having never heard Kari talk to her so sternly, she looks at Cassie and starts to cry gently, before trying to climb in beside the twins.

Cassie sighs and hugs Karoliena, standing on her tiptoes to kiss her cheek. "I guess this is what I get for raising someone so like me," she says with a little laugh. "I hope she doesn't mean it though," she adds quickly. She looks down at Jody, who stops trying to climb into the stroller when Kari gets even more stern, telling her off. She looks up at her and her bottom lip starts to tremble, as if tears are coming. "Lady....no be mad at me," she says quietly. "I'm not a bad girl," Jody says, before she starts to cry a little louder.

Cassie laughs and rolls her eyes. "How very true. I bet I was even worse when I was her age. My poor mom and dad," she chuckles, giving Kari a lingering kiss and sighing happily as she did. It was special to her to have someone around who could calm her so easily. "I hope so. I'd hate to think she had any sort of bad feeling towards me," she muses. "It would prove my worst fear once and for all." Jody looks up at Kari with her teary eyes and nods as she wipes her face with her hands. "I sorry, lady," she says before going in for a hug, squeezing Kari as tight as she can. She then looks up at Cassie. "Mommy I sorry. You are a good girl," she says quite unintentionally comically.

"As long as Jody doesn't pull any of the crap I did. My parents had to deal with reading about me as a 16 year old singing about blow jobs and mimicking sex on stage. I feel sorry for them now." she laughs a little before staring into Kari's eyes. Having her around made everything seem perfect. Even things that weren't perfect simply didn't matter when she had Kari around. "I love you," she whispers. "Oh my God can you imagine her as a teenager? I shudder to think. Thank god we'll have Cole around to at least partially balance all the girl hormones around when they hit their teens. I'll just send them to you with their problems then." she smiles and kisses her again. Jody smiles at Kari and nods. "I am a big girl," she says happily. "I go potty myself," she boasts. Cassie laughs and kisses Jody on the head. "Thank you LJ. You're a good girl too, baby."

Cassie nods and laughs a little. "I know, right? I'm kinda the anti advocate of "stay in school, kids." I mean sure, I was a total trashbag, but hey, I made a lot of money from it." she smiles at the thought of how far she had come with only a very weak high school diploma - a multi millionaire at 19. She laughs at Karoliena's joke. "Too right. I've gone off that brand of genitalia. I can't say it's been a while since I had my head between some thighs though," she laughs and sticks her tongue out. She smiles when Kari says she loves her. Together, they were perfect. There was no pretence or charade with Cassie and Kari, it was just pure love. Karoliena was the one and she knew it instinctively. She laughs a little and shakes her head. "Can you imagine when she has boy problems. I don't think we'll need to help. LJ seems to be the type to take matters into her own hands," she laughs, indicating how Jody might punch someone. Jody laughs a little at Kari's joke, even though she didn't get it and hugs her again. "You can go potty, lady? No need mommy's help?"

Cassie smiles wryly. "I guess I just knew where the right penises were to get the job done. You know....I felt so shitty doing it. But as long as these guys never find out then I'm glad I did it. I managed to make sure I can give them a comfortable life forever." she brushes her fingers nonchalantly through Jodys hair and smiles at her before laughing at Karolienas joke. "the taste challenge? What would that be then babe?" she chuckles and decides to sit on a bench for a moment. She was sure she was a lot more tired than the average 19 year old thanks to the fact the kids kept her busy. But she didn't mind. Especially not now that Karoliena was around to help. They seemed like a real family, so close and special to Cassie. She loved them all dearly and she was happier now than she had ever been. "those poor boys," Cassie says with a little grin. "they're gonna be so screwed when Jody gets on their case. I'm betting she'll be the most popula. Kid in school. Just like her mommy." Jody looks up at the two as they talk, pulling a funny face. "You talk about me?" she asks.
