A/N: Gracie-good questions, but my lips are sealed. Nat-we don't get a
real good look at the house right now, but we might in a few weeks. Be
patient. Until 19-PCGirl.

Rafe sat there holding the paper in his hands reading it over again as he sipped a coke, "I understand that usually you would want the person in your office to fill out the paperwork, but as of this time I am unable to travel due to my wife being pregnant. Thank you for your services. Sincerely, Rafe Kovich," he said as he put down his coke and signed the paper. "Now we just need the title, which should be in the box," he said going over to the box that Caleb had brought him and dug around until he found it. He placed the letter and the title in the manila envelope before sealing it and heading out the door to the post office.
-------
"So what do you think of it?" asked Alison as they walked down the staircase and through the living room. The real estate agent had somewhere to be a few minutes ago and told them to let themselves out.
"I think it's pretty close to perfect for you and Rafe. Do you want me to wait with you until he gets here?"
"No, he seemed sort of out of it today. I'll tell him when he feels more like himself."
"Yeah, Caleb was the same way. I guess they both were bothered by the argument they had yesterday."
"They had an argument? He didn't say anything to me about it."
"Yeah, they just have a few words at the Trinity. It wasn't anything major, not like they were at each other's throats. I'm surprised Rafe didn't tell you about it."
"Yeah, me too," said Alison closing the front door and checking again to make sure it was locked.
----------
"Don't tell me you didn't like her either," sighed Jack as he walked in and didn't see Jasmine.
"I liked her very much, Jack. She's in the ladies room washing her hands. We're going to get started on training now. You know, I was thinking, maybe I was being hard on those girls from last week-there were a few that I guess we could hire after all.
"It's not that difficult to hire someone, see Imani."
"I know, I just wanted the perfect girl," she said as Jasmine came back around the corner. "Are you ready to learn?"
"I guess so. What's the first thing I should learn?"
"Balancing a tray full of drinks," she said putting some opened bottles of water on a tray and handing it to her.
----------
"Rafe? Rafe-are you home?" she called out and then not hearing water running in the bathroom. "Well, I guess whatever you were typing you got done with," she said putting down her purse. She rubbed her stomach, the babies were definitely letting their presence be known today, "Do you two miss your daddy's voice also?" she asked smiling.
"I hope so," he said coming into the apartment and moving behind her. His hands went around and lay on her stomach. "How was your day?"
"It was fine, where were you just now?"
"I paid a few bills, and then realized we didn't have any stamps-so I went to the post office. Is everything ok?" he said biting his lip.
"Actually, I was about to ask you the same question. Why didn't you tell me that you and Caleb butted heads yesterday?"
---------
"Hey sweetheart," smiled Caleb as he looked in and saw Livvie walk into the room with a bag in her hand. "I was starting to wonder if you were coming over or not."
"I actually got a little sidetracked after shopping, but better late than never, right? You seem to be in a better mood."
"I think I've got something good here," he said holding up a piece of paper and handing it to her. "What do you think?" he asked putting his hands behind his head.
"I'm not a songwriter, and you know I can't sing," she said as she went and walked to the other couch without taking her eyes off the lyrics. "But this is creepy."
"Creepy? Well that's not the answer I was looking for," he said with slight disappointment.
"No, not creepy bad-creepy as in this says a lot, I mean more than you would expect. You have to play this Friday."
---------
"This isn't bad at all," smiled Jasmine as she came around the bar to put down the tray. She was almost past the door when it swung open making the water bottles go flying. "Oh no."
"It's ok, it's just water," smiled Imani as she went to get a mop. "Where is the fire anyways, Jack?"
"The tables and chairs are here, but we've got some bad news."
"What type of bad news exactly?" asked Frank as he came in with Neil behind him.
---------
"What does it matter?" he asked as he began to rub her shoulders.
"Rafe-you two are trying to stay civil, remember? I'd really like for you to be here for our children when they are born."
"Just because we had a minor setback doesn't mean we're going to go at each other with pitchforks. We just have to get used to seeing each other around again, that's all."
"So when you see him at the opening on Friday you aren't going to start something."
"Unless he starts something first," he said giving her a kiss.
-----------
"You want me to play this Friday? Olivia, I just don't know if it's possible."
"When have you ever backed down from a challenge," she said walking over to him and putting her hands on his legs so she looked straight in his eyes.
"When it comes to you-never," he grinned.
"Then I'm challenging you," she said as she stood up straight. "So what are you going to do-throw this amazing song in the trash or actually work hard for a few days and play it at the opening?"
"I guess play it, because you aren't going to let me back down from this, are you?"
"Mmm, no-I'm not," she smiled at him.
----------
"Frank, remember how we thought we were getting a really good deal on the tables and chairs? Well, it turns out it's because there was no assembly fee."
"What do you mean no assembly fee? Don't tell me we have to assemble all those chairs and tables ourselves."
"Fine, I won't," he smiled.
"You know what? This is just a minor setback," said Imani. "I'm going to go over to the Bike Shop and get the tools we need. With the four of us and Jamal later on we'll have this place set up in no time."
"This is going to be one long night," said Frank as he left with Imani.
"Welcome to Port Charles and the Trinity," groaned Jack to Jasmine.
