Friday night. It was supposed to be a night for partying and doing stupid things, but for Preston, it was just another night. And tonight he had Hope with him too, so it was going to be a night of studying and parenting. But he decided that hanging around in the house with no motivation to get his homework done wasn't going to help anything, so he decided to take Hope on a walk to the cafe. Hope giggled and grinned at people from her stroller which made Preston's mood much better. He loved being a father, even if it was turning out to be extremely stressful.
As they arrived at the cafe, Preston parked the stroller outside of the building and picked Hope up. He walked inside and spotted a familiar brunette behind the counter. Under normal circumstances, Preston might have just tried to avoid her, but he was in a particularly good mood, and he was a father now. Ex-girlfriends weren't nearly as awkward when he had a baby with him. "Hey Arielle," he said as he walked up to the counter.

Arielle was fixing herself a coffee which she paid for and was waiting to go home when she heard her name being called. She turned around and noticed Preston was there she hadn't seen him in awhile. "Preston....what're you doing here...?" Arielle asked she was confused but she still looked friendly. She looked at the little Girl just now noticing her. "Oh did your parents have another baby?" Ari asked with a smile.

Preston shrugged. "Decided to go for a walk," he said. At her next question, Preston froze a little. "Um, no. Actually, this is my daughter, Hope." Preston hadn't even considered the idea that Arielle might not realize that Hope was his child. It made things slightly more awkward, but Preston kept a smile on his face, for now.

Arielle shot her glance at Preston. "Oh." She said trying not to sound heart broken. "She's beautiful." Ari said. She stuck hair behind her ear and looked at the little girl. She had Preston ' s eyes and some facial features but she assumed she looked more like her mom. She looked at Preston finally not sure what to even say.

Preston smiled a little. "Thanks," he said, but he could tell that Arielle was thinking something else. Even without werewolf senses, he could hear a hint of sadness in her voice. That confused him. He thought they'd left their relationship on good terms. They just weren't right for each other, right? Maybe Arielle thought otherwise. Either way, it seemed more awkward to bring up the subject, so Preston decided to talk about something else. "How have you been? Anything interesting going on?" he asked.

"I'm good. Just been catching up on courses cause you know how studying to be a lawyer is. Surprised I even have time for a job." Arielle said with a small smile. "She's a cute one." She said looking down at hope who was giggling.

Preston nodded. "Yeah, she's definitely got me wrapped around her pretty little finger," he said with a smile. Preston had always wanted to be a father, even if this wasn't exactly how he'd planned it. But now that it was happening, he wouldn't have changed it for the world. Except for the part where he wished every second that Kylie was there too.

Ari nodded and looked at Preston. "So How've you been?" Ari asked. She took off her apron and clocked out and grabbed her latte. She looked at Preston. "Oh sorry I should've asked you if you wanted something. Do you wnat something? " Ari asked.

Preston shook his head. "No, that's fine. I'm not much of a coffee type anyways," he said. Then he went back and answered her first question. "I've been alright. Busy, but that's nothing new, right?" Preston was the kind of person who always had something he needed to do and somewhere he needed to be. He'd been that way since high school.

Ari laughed a little and ran her hand through her hair. "Yeah..." She said quietly. "So where's the mom?" Ari asked with a smile. She put her apron up and looked at Preston.

Preston bit his lip slightly. "She, uh...She passed away," Preston said. Saying that never got any easier. Not only was it extremely difficult to admit it because it always reminded him of how she'd died, but it always made whoever he was talking to feel extremely awkward. Both of those things were just bad for Preston.

"Oh Preston I'm so sorry." Ari said she shelled out from behind the corner. Starbucks was about to close and she was the last one. Ari honestly felt bad for Preston but mainly for te little girl. "How did she pass away?" Aribasked. Ari had a little bit of a blunt side to her something she hated. "Sorry that was rude Sorry!"

Preston shook his head. "No, it's fine. She was, um...." Preston then realized that explaining how Kylie died wasn't as easy as he thought it would be. "She was murdered. We're not sure who did it." It was a decent lie, even if it wasn't completely a lie at all. Kylie was murdered, but they knew exactly who it was that did it.

Ari looked over at Preston and smiled at him. He was lying, slightly, she could hear his year beat go slightly up and it left her vey confused. She didn't know what to say. She stood quiet for a very long time. "I'm sorry Preston." Ari said quietly she would've given him a hug but he was holding Hopw.

Preston nodded, standing in silence for a moment or so. He wasn't sure how to respond. "We're managing, I guess," he said, smiling a little. "Right Sweets?" Hope looked up and Preston and giggled, clapping her little hands together. She had no idea.
