The jump has happened as planned, there was a few days of tying up loose ends, nothing completely major, but let’s catch everyone up.

The guys Jake and Sam adjusted pretty well. Like I hoped they got the hang of the extra bits I added into their memories, Sam much better then Jake, but they can all talk about a childhood Dylan remembers with basically no incident. Emmie gave them a letter to send, and Jake was damned determined to get it to him after the key and ring incident. (Wich… didn’t technically happen.) He sent several pacages, letters, and envelopes to Dylan, none of wich his brother actually got. I think it might have actually been because of the jump, and the fact that dylan couldn’t at all respond… Either that or I am an amazing bitch, whichever suits you best. They had Emmie over whenever they could come up with an excuse that was beleiveable enough (We just went grocery shopping, help we need to know about this thing here, hey it’s tuesday!, Sam managed to dress himself without falling over so come help celebrate! Justin said ‘Surf’, basically whatever they could.) They have all been following Dylan’s career almost religiously, and the shop’s gotten a bit of a boost, despite the fact that it’s off season, because of Dylan’s new pro status. Other then that, their lives have been totally normal.

Wyllow is finding that this pregnancy is the exact opposite of her first one, her mood’s mellower this time around, though she spent the first few months sicker then a dog. She’s juuuust about into her fourth now, (next couple of days) and the whole nausia and barfing out everything she ever ate is coming to an end. It was almost to the point where the Doctors were concerned, and she’s very exausted all the time. All of this, coupled with her last talk with Eric, has had the happy effect of making Wyl lean on her husband a bit more then normal. Though a small part of her is somewhat afriad he’ll pull away from stress, it’s really helped her stress level considerably, she counts on him more nowadays to do things and just be there for her, and (from what I can tell) has really seemed to be doing very well so far. (I can’t say this with a hundred percent certanty, I didn’t exactly spend a lot of time looking during the jump, and I haven’t discussed it with Lissa yet, so who knows, he could be rather frazzled.) I personally kinda hope she stays in the habit of leaning on him a bit more, her stress level is waaay down from the last pregnancy, but that could simply be the fact that he’s around a shit ton now, and not yelling at her. (Unless it’s a nap, and then most days she manages to beat him to the punch.) Part of me is terrified she’s having twins.

Sam has had his hands full lately with the coldest winter in the history of the Valley. (Long illustrious history that it is!) Personally he seems very pleased with his newly adopted daughter’s attitude and pregnancy, very proud of her, and thankful that she’s not freaking out at the level she was a few months ago. He has been spending quite a bit of time with Ren throughout her recovery, working her back up to speed, and working on their friendship. He’s also completely ignoring or is totally oblivious, to anything remotely like a romantic overture from her, having pretty much decided that they should just stay friends. Perhaps he just doesn’t see them at all, more then likely though, I am making things out to be what they aren’t, either way the man has amazing tunnel vision. Any and all spare time he’s had he’s spent either babysitting his granddaughter, or trying to find a pretense to throw Trent behind bars for the rest of his years. The problem is, with neither attack having ever having happened, he has nothing. Wyllow’s bruises all healed before he could get them as proof too. (And did she get a lecture!!)

Jessie left as planned, and found out about her baby while on the job. She… well that is to say… was surprised to say the least, and spent more time then she should have distracted, almost too much so. (She’s fine!) The problem is, she isn’t entirely sure who the father is, having had a lot of fun with Phil, and is fairly certain she also slept with Colton during that time period. She wanted to tell Phil all about it, but convinced herself that she just needed time to figure out what to say and just how to say it. This pretty much lead to her not calling him as much as she probably should have, because she does not want to lie to him. Things between them were great when she left, (his bout of yeah you are pretty special to me pretty much killed all her questions) but she wasn’t sure if they were ‘Hey I am having a baby that may or may not be yours!’ great. And let’s be honest, is any relationship ever that great? She misses him horribly though, so much so that she almost ditched out on going to scotland, and came straight back, but apparently shifters have special needs during pregnancy, and… well to be honest, she really wants to keep this baby. Part of her has wanted to semi settle and start a family for a while now. So she had to go back to the colonies at least, and to her aunt for the sort of advice that a mother type can give.

Trent spent a very long time fuming, and probably still is. His wrath was marked by quite a few NPC’s, and has actually escalated to the point where I actually hope Lynn can keep avoiding him. (How she’s done it thus far is a pure miracle.) Won’t be long, he hasn’t exactly been hermit like in the woods, though he does realize that it’s in his best interests to be on the unseen side. When he goes out, it’s very protected, and with fail safes, he is smart enough to realize that vigilante justice is rather rife in the Valley. Wyllow is still being watched on more then one front, and he’s rather upset that one of her pets lived, but figures that too can be taken care of.

Sarah is finalizing her plans. She spent the months in the jump making up for lost time she spent sobbing into her pillows and basically being a normal human girl. While that spot is still a sore spot with her, she’s actually gotten over the hurts. I am pretty sure her and Lynn have become friends, like the real sort, not the catty bitchy sort, so maybe that’s how Lynn is avoiding T? Either that or they are just using each other again. *sighs* It’s hard to tell with those two.

Reggie is irrationally pissed at Emmie for taking Dylan away. She’s never liked Emmie much, but has always put up with her because Dylan picked her. Despite how much they fought, how unhappy he’d get, and how down he’d be about them at times, she always figured that he’d wise up one day. (He’s too smart to keep putting up with this type of mindset.) She sees the baby and even the memory thing as nothing more then a desperate attempt for Emmie to hold onto him, and when I asked her about it, she explained that the baby will keep him around enough so that when it finally outs (And she has no personal doubt it will out) he’ll do his best to try and get it back, probably being conveiently told the good parts and not about how he was so sick of the drama he was most of the way out the door, but >oh yeah!< Emmie was suddenly pregnant! How lucky for her, now he’d never walk in a million years! Then she snorted in disgust and walked away. I know she cares for loves Dylan very much, but it’s not quite what I expected to find, she doesn’t want him for herself at all. While that would be amzing in her mind, heaven on earth, she figures he also deserves better then her, and has some ideal stocked away hoping to god he meets her soon. Heartwells are oh so fun.

Lemmie see, who havn’t I done…

Jordan is on the outs with Reggie at the moment. She figured the time to be pissed is done and over, and life goes on. Unlike her former cohort, she’s tried to see things from Emmie’s point of view, and knows this has to suck for her too. She’s still upset that Dylan had no say, but she’s willing to get over it and work past it, actually she has a bit of respect for Emmie for going into this, and living a few weeks of her life knowing what it was that was going to happen… and the alternative. She’s even willing to give up her own curiosity about a certain surfer’s sheet skills and silently root for the couple. Dylan was very happy there for a bit after all. Besides, she’s made friends in the guys, and would hate to loose everyone due to this event.

Anissa lived her life as she always does, more or less alone and studying. Actually since her talk with Ren, she’s been feeling more lonely then normal, but is lost as to how to actually alleviate that problem. Add to the fact that Jess is gone, and well… I have a mopey loon… at Christmas… *sighs*

Colton has called a grand total of three times while he’s been gone. He’s deep undercover going by an assumed name and identity. He’s aiming for a very nice Christmas present for Ren, more or less… hell if it’s late it’s late. Thus far he’s managed to get things done in one peace, and has only nearly been uncovered once. (And that was accidental, and purely luck.) He misses Ren a lot, and thinks about her all the time, but can’t do anything about it. He says the city is baaad fucking news, and can’t believe a lot of the shit that goes down. He should be back in the valley just a bit after Christmas, if everything goes as planned.

Kyo is still spending every bit of time he can with Cera. I don’t tend to be allowed near them. Okay, I don’t watch, because they are an odd, yet sweet couple who tend to scrump like frantic bunnies. They are cute, but wow!

Which leaves us with Dylan. The guys have the right of it, I sort of tried to limit contact with him until he was settled, or at least while things with him were odd. Turns out though, they never did quite go away, and as they loudly pointed out, it made no sense, and just left Dee more disconnected then he should have been. He doesn’t sleep well, he eats like a health freak, and says things like pissy and grr. These things are inexplicable, because he seriously has no memory of anything from the last three years as it happened. Somehow though, he does. Somehow he remembers certin things, and they are probably in his sub conscious, the only area I didn’t go digging in because I was too afraid of doing something there that would make him not Dylan. There’s a lot of plots already revolving around him, and I am just a bit worried about him. I don’t want to see the drama storms sweep him up again. But, he’s also not the same in a few areas. I guess the most obvous atm is the weight loss, lots of calorie burning and not a lot of calories will do that. He also picked up a new tatoo in brazil, it’s a fairly big peace that will be kinda obvious once tanks are back into the picture. He’s also more snappish, and… well I am not quite sure I can explain the rest. again, maybe it’s only me. WHo knows? It’ll all out with time, and well…hopefully we’ll be able to see.
