September 12th
"you know I've never seen anyone get along with May this well ever, she's autistic and can be pretty pushy, thanks for throwing this party for her" says Mayor Oliva Soarson
"here's the thing, Sabine likes May like a lot, today is Sabine's birthday too, Sabine rarely makes friends, she's always made fun of because of her mutism, Cat got a doctor here that made the call that it's not just mutism but severe autism as well, apparently it's slowed her speech development more than normal, the doctor said this new environment would actually boost her development because of how Catarina operates things here, she's both releasing music and basically homeschooling all the kids" says Maria
"May has been out for two years as liking girls and only girls as she puts it, honestly she does kinda find Sabine adorable, she's amazing at drawing and from the short amount of time she actually looked at Sabine she was able to draw her perfectly, fair warning she can't use the letter S, well she can but she has a lisp with her s's so she doesn't use them" says Olivia
"abbine do you like me" asks May as Sabine averts her eyes nervously
"May, all she's done for the past week and a half is say your name and she doesn't have that many words to use so her saying your name that much says volumes, she's scared of most people just like Bella is but Cat is one of her few idols" says Becca as Sabine points to May and the couch
"what is she asking me to do" asks May confused wincing at her lisp
"like I said she doesn't have many words she can use, one of those words she knows but has trouble saying is cuddle, she's asking to cuddle with you on the couch" says Becca as Bella nods in agreement
"the's not going to kith me like I hope is the" asks May as Sabine tilts her head curiously
"she may or may not kiss you May but believe me if anyone else made her wait this long she'd have walked away already" says Cat
"maybe this was a bad idea" pouts May as Sabine runs to her room crying
"great now she won't come out for cake" says Maria
"see mom I always screw everything up" says May
"not to be mean but you basically told her that loving her is a bad idea, her sense of smell is basically up there with a dogs, when she tilted her head she probably smelled something about you that may have surprised her, you need to go talk to her because she without a doubt loves you, yesterday when I was teaching her math or trying to because she was seriously distracted, in twenty minutes she'd written a love story about you and her and boy was it detailed" says Cat
"wait I'm confused, can she understand me or not" asks May
"she can, the problem is there is a disconnect between what she wants to say and what she can verbalize, please talk to her" says Naomi as May walks to find Sabine
With Sabine several minutes later
"you hate me" asks Sabine
"Abby why would I hate you" asks May
"causy you smell like mom and dad afder they maked up apter a fight, I not wanna fight I want love" says Sabine pointing to May's waist
"I don't undertand fully what youey mean but I love you, I can cuddle you on da couch out there, it not right to hide" says May
"you have speech ting" asks Sabine
"yeah, they not know why, it not long thing it sthort thing" says May wincing at her lisp again
"me know….. if me fix you not run way, you love me" asks Sabine
"how can you fix it" asks May as Sabine gives her a quick kiss
"dat not you consern" says Sabine as May blushes
"can I call you Abby" asks May
"please do" says Sabine
"you like that name" asks May
"yeah, I not evey like my name" says Sabine as May leads her back out to Cat's living room
"ahh there's that smile" says Maria as Sabine blushes and May smiles
"sthe wants to be called Abby not sthabine" says May wincing again as Sabine kisses her again
"I figured as much, I see she's not shy now" says Maria as Sabine pulls May to the couch and falls asleep in May's arms
"ok wow sthe's a really good cuddler, so calming" says May as her lisp almost melts away
"whoa that was interesting, your lisp went away" says Olivia
"I have no idea why" says May
"to be quite honest Abby has always had this calming effect about her, Bella has a more invigorating effect" says Becca
"does Abby have mind powers, sthe sthaid sthe knew how to fix my listhp" says May
"even if she does May, she doesn't believe any of that stuff is real, for as little as she says she is firm on that point, do you think she does" asks Maria
"yeah" says May
"what does It feel like" asks Henry sceptical
"like when I fell off the ….s-w-i-n-g and had to get s-u-r-g-u-r-y, when I woke up after that I felt groggy and dizzy, you know from the med thing that m-a-k-e-s you fall a-s-l-e-e-p, that i-s what it f-e-e-l-s like" says May spelling out the words with S's
"then Abby IS doing something because not even love can do that" says Olivia
"I mean it can but she hasn't been dating Abby long enough, isn't that what the meaning of drunk on love means" says Cat
"fair enough, where's Tori" asks Olivia
"sleeping, she hasn't had that much energy lately, Ashley has been writing plays with Jade and Julia has been writing music, basically leaving Tori only time to sleep and a few hours every day right now, being a person with a personality disorder isn't always fun and games, trust me if my brother was still talking to me he could tell you just how bad it can be" says Cat
"what ever happened between you and Daren anyway" asks Jade
"I got mad at him for ignoring his multiple worsening conditions and taking his meds like I do my meds, after that he blocked me, to be honest though while our sibling relationship had never really been that strong if it weren't for him I'd have never understood how Tori's personalities could take over her body like they do, because of him I have a greater understanding of her brain and how it works" says Cat
"what do you take medths for" asks May
"autism, ADHD, I'm boreline Bipolar, I have major OCD, my weight issues, I have some for feminine needs, I had cancer so I'm on meds to make sure it doesn't come back, though all my meds combined make it almost impossible for me to have kids, however it is still possible just very very unlikely" says Cat
"do you like being famous" asks May as her lisp disappears again
"yes and no May, I love the music part but I don't like where my producer wants my music to go, she wants me to be all cute and sexy with it and as cool as that would be if I could do that I would have already, I'm too much of a wuss to yell at my producer and go out on my own" says Cat
"well happy belated birthday Girly" says Jade
"huh my birthday is in June what the hell is this belated birthday stuff" says Cat annoyed
"well you know how I'd kicked you out of your music room to paint it" says Jade
"yeah my fans haven't forgiven me for that, I'd promised them a summer song and I wasn't able to because you kicked me out of that room all summer" says Cat clearly upset
"hey don't get mad girly it was Toro's idea, anyway I bought you out of your contract and you now own all your songs, I turned your music room into a mini studio, it took time to get everything finished just right so there wouldn't be an echo, Robbie and I finished it yesterday with Ashley's impeccable color choices, you can now self launch your songs Cat" says Jade
"….. wait so I can make enough money to host the homeless downstairs now…." Cries Cat
"yes, I already hired Henry and Gress as security guards, you know to identify each homeless person and give them an ID tag and stuff so they can come and go as they please" says Jade as Olivia winks
"when can I start" asks Cat
"next week, the feds are making this a federally protected place so the homeless can make this place their legal home so they can get disability coverage mail and stuff sent to their apartment with an overflow mailbox system for other homeless people to set this address as their home so they can get mail as well" says Olivia
"I can't possibly help all the homeless in San Francisco Olivia" says Cat
"no of course not, I've been working out deals with two other brand new apartment building owners to do the same thing, Jade set up a charity that pays for the rent and the government here in San Francisco, state government and the federal government are all putting some money in and any apartment building willing to help out can apply for it, the rent is currently set at five hundred dollars per month as long as the homeless persons can keep their apartment clean they get to stay rent and hydro bill free, the only rule is they have to actively search for jobs if they are physically able to work, the disabled do not have to follow that rule about searching for a job however" says Olivia as Sabine stirrs in her sleep
"can you guysth maybe not be stho loud, Abby is sleeping, you're going to wake her up I'm really enjoying her laying on my lap" says May
"sorry….. wait why is her head on your lap" asks Henry nervously
"she's curled up on my lap Mr Starling, she's actually kinda small for her age" says May not noticing her lisp is gone
"that's her ex friends father's fault, when she was eight they wanted to go see the dolphins and he'd had a little too much to drink that day and on the way to his boat they crashed, her seatbelt broke and she flew through the front window, nearly shattered her spine in the process, she hasn't really grown much since, any inchs she did get was extremely painful for her, she was already the shortest in her class as it was, she begged me to pull her from school after that, to be quite honest she's only just barely started walking by herself again" says Maria
"she's adorable, I love her" says May
"don't try and push the mind powers thing, she clearly wants this and doing so could hurt her" says Maria
"I think it's time May stayed here to learn from Cat in person for a while" says Olivia as May's jaw drops
"r-really" asks May
"yes May, Robbie has offered to help you with your math, Jade has offered to help you with your writing, since I'm apparently a solo artist now I need to work hard on my music so I'll only be able to so much teaching you" says Cat
"can you teach me about love, I know I love her but I don't know exactly what loving a girl means" asks May
"Olivia what do you think, should I" asks Cat
"you and Carly both should, Carly has a different view on it and if my daughter is to be informed then it would be good for her to see both sides" says Olivia
"Carly won't teach, teaching makes her anxiety jump" says Sam
"but May needs Carly's side, where is she anyway" asks Olivia
"the only way she will talk about it is if it comes up naturally in a conversation, if she is asked out of the blue she will not answer it, as to where she is, she's cuddling with Freddie, she had a nightmare last night and while I try my best when it comes to comforting her when she's terrified that's not my strong point, it often makes her worse when I try, not to mention she's stressed about not being able to have money to put towards rent and it makes her feel really guilty" says Sam
"the hospital not get back to her" asks Maria
"they did, they said they couldn't afford the risk taking her on without specific things like a diploma or degree, said it would cost them majorly if she messed up and they couldn't risk it" says Sam
"well I can see why she's upset, I'll see if I can work something out with San-Francisco Online University" says Olivia
