"For eight years?" Carmen grins. "It's true, but they'll have a hard time believing us. On the up side, it also means... we could move back in together and the priest doesn't have to absolve me for a sin." She grins.

"Hey remember I was drinking when I was suppose to have filled them. So yea I could have thought i typed them." He says. "at that is very true."

Carmen grins. "True. See, even that drinking works in our favor- now!" She colors with the kids for a minute while she thinks. "I guess tonight is a test run, then," she comments. "And there might be a few more in the future... but really, I'd like to try as much as I'm able right now. Do you think you might know a few people- when I feel ready- who could help me move back in? The internship is crazy at the moment, even if doctors do have weird hours." She's talking about working in the cardiology department at BG Hospital.

"I am sure that me Elijah and Derrick can manage it. I am sure that your parents would love to spend time with these three."

"Yeah, they would." Carmen grins. "We've all missed them, and you too. I didn't know where you all were."

"I'm sorry too. I... should have known better, maybe. Not that you didn't have a problem, but maybe...I don't know. I just know I thought of Dawn's bio parents, and how she told us they'd been addicted enough to join a drug ring. We suspect that's why Dawn died. That someone knew she'd told that truant officer, who called the police."

"So they still don't really know who it was yet?" he asks. "It wasn't your fault about me."

"Nope, 8 years with a cold case. I have this feeling that a higher-up might have made an underling hire someone so that the higher-up wouldn't get caught, but to know that for sure, I think we'd need more info about what happened to Dawn's bio mom. Her bio dad had stopped making meth, but Dawn thought her mom was still doing it to protect her. Which is terrifying, that they'd threaten someone's life like that over...that stuff."
Carmen sighs. "I know. I just...do the kids blame me? I felt so bad. I know what it's like to be abandoned, even if my bio parents did it for love, because they didn't want to see me die of the cancer. I did it out of fear for my own safety. Somehow that's worse, on my part."

This floors Carmen a little as no one has ever said anything like that to her. "Thank you for not giving up on us. And thanks to your mom, too. How is your family, by the way? Anything I may not know about going on?"

"Well lets see Mom, and the younger ones minus Jayla are down in Georgia. Cali and Elijah are here Teresa will be moving back as soon as her kids finish summer school. Derrick is here though we haven't seen him in years."

She laughs. "Summer school? Oh my! I didn't go, but Dawn did once. She told me it's all the kids who don't behave. Do you think that's true? And wow, Georgia. Must be nice this time of year there."

"Definitely. I haven't seen Teresa in ages. When did they move there?" asks Carmen.

The last part shocks her a little bit. "Oh my gosh...I'm so sorry. Dawn...was bad enough, but at least we knew...." She gives him a hug.

"For your sake I hope so. I hope she comes back soon."
(OOC: what if after Carmen moves back in they run into Jayla and her family somewhere?)

"Me too. She was always the one that was closest to me and Cali."
(I like that idea.)

"Maybe...if things go well, like I think they might...after I move in officially, we'll run into her. Wishful thinking, maybe- but she's gotta be somewhere."
