Following the safe return of Kate, Rick was determined to keep things low key. Martha had decided to start looking for a place of her own since things were starting to feel a bit crowded at the loft with three adults occasionally four adults and four kids all under one roof. Of course Alexis was bit upset with the news of Martha moving out. While Rick and Kate spent the day with both sets of twins, Alexis was spending the day with Kameron since she had left him hanging the day that Kate had been kidnapped.
Across town at Alexis and Kameron's off campus apartment, things weren't as calm as they were at the loft. Outside an autumn rainstorm had made its entrance into the city that never sleeps. Kameron and Alexis were trying find something to together.
"We could watch a movie…" Alexis said.
"Nah."
"We could read or watch TV."
"Nope." Kameron replied.
"Well then, what do you want to do then?"
"I have an idea." Kameron said as he went in for the kiss.
Hours later, just after Kameron was fast asleep; Alexis had rolled over in their bed so that her back was facing Kameron and she was facing the nightstand where her iPhone had been charging for hours at this point. In Alexis's mind, she knew that Kate was either still up or she would be getting up soon to feed Avery and Aria.
Mom, are you up? If you are message me back. Or as soon as you can…
Kate's phone vibrated on the nightstand beside her. When she had first opened her eyes following the sound of her phone going off, Kate assumed that it was the precinct telling her that there was homicide somewhere in the city. After seeing the message on her phone was from Alexis and not the precinct. Kate read the message from her daughter.
What's going on, Lex?
Did I wake you?"
Don't worry about that. What do you need?
To talk, preferably as soon as possible.
Okay, did you want to meet somewhere?
There a brief pause in the iMessage session Kate and Alexis were partaking in as Alexis read over Kate's last message and responded.
Sounds great. Where do you want to meet?
Kate suggested a place that they could meet and Alexis said she'd see Kate there. Once that was settled; Kate got dressed, left a note for Rick and went to meet Alexis.
