<p style="text-align: center;">The ranch reminded Caleb of home and he found it funny that both of his parents enjoyed living far away from people and surrounded by nature. Perhaps, he'd held a grudge against his father for too long now. He'd never met Spencer before today and Adalie had always told him what a good man that he was through her stories.

<p style="text-align: center;">The ranch reminded Caleb of home and he found it funny that both of his parents enjoyed living far away from people and surrounded by nature. Perhaps, he'd held a grudge against his father for too long now. He'd never met Spencer before today and Adalie had always told him what a good man that he was through her stories. He'd never gotten a final answer on why his mother had taken him across the ocean and left his father, but as he sat with his newfound family, it seemed to be less out of strife and more out of loneliness. Surely, running a ranch had taken up much of his free time as a young adult. Maybe it was simply true that they'd fallen out of love. Such things required dedication and practice. His growing up without Spencer had been just as much an incidental as hail in a rainstorm. The young man leaned back in his chair, listening as Caden spoke. He was curious about the brother that he'd never met and what had brought them together. Right now, it was pizza and the beaming smile of a toddler. <a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8362055870?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8362055870?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right" style="padding: 3px;"/></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Although Caleb couldn't admit it, his heart ached as he played with little Jonah. It had only been a year since he'd lost his first chance at fatherhood. If their child had survived, he would now be a single parent, much like his brother. There was so much that he would have liked to say, but could find no words for. Instead, he focused on waiting for the food to arrive and the sweet giggles of his niece as she climbed aboard the fence, peering over at a farm cat who had fallen asleep in the afternoon sun. "My home isn't much different than this," He nodded, as Caden mentioned wanting to buy the ranch someday. "A lot of fresh air and sun does good for kids." He smiled. "I should know. I spent most my days as a kid playing with ducks and wooden swords."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The quiet between them was not burdensome, but natural. A car rolled up in the distance, carrying the delicious smells of pizza their way. "What do you say we find my...our father and invite him to eat?" </p> Caden looked at the gentleman…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-12-15:6610746:Comment:4223732020-12-15T14:03:36.564Z3trdfg18tkx3vhttps://eternalcityrp.com/xn/detail/u_3trdfg18tkx3v

Listening to him and how he spent time with his daughter gave him a twinge. That Jo would call her Uncle in the future made him smile with joy. They didn't have much family and friends were far and few between who wanted to spend time with a teen dad.</p>
<p>"I am sorry to hear that." He replied at the mention of not having it work out well. "You know if you ever need to talk about it then be my guest. Thats what family is for, no?" He asked before sitting closer to them as he spoke about the ranch and the different animals. "It sounds like a lot of fun." He said in agreement as he focused on them both taking in the moments for his memories.</p>
<p>Caden journaled and liked to record details so he would look back on them. It all had begun when he found out he was going to be a father. What had become a pet project turned out to him documenting everything by camera and records in his journal. When he thoughts trailed back to him asking about his father and him he gave a small shrug and smiled.</p>
<p>"The usual, a beer, some fishing, football. Typical dude things. We don't live to close I live more in the city as I finish up school for work and then the plans are to buy the ranch maybe one day for Jo to grow up here one day." </p> "I know what it's like to be…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-11-29:6610746:Comment:4222042020-11-29T20:25:02.569Z✓ Caleb Eli Segal ~Mod~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/CalebSegal

<p style="text-align: center;">"I know what it's like to be an introvert." Caleb smiled wryly. It wasn't surprising that his father was, too. His mother had been. It appeared their whole family was of the quiet sort. Even though Caden and Jo were very friendly.

Perhaps his brother and the tiny tot could be the family mascots and the ones who cheered everyone on. Despite that Caleb would have loved to have kids, he currently didn't; but the topic seemed a bit much to broach over pizza. Instead of opening up, he took the soft drink that was offered and nodded. "Someday, I hope. Not currently. My fiance and I wanted them, but that didn't work out as intended." <a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/879f6f3333680d4ffa8ddbb50e4b0267/8d2ca38c9b2df074-fb/s540x810/962f4625b3bc69ac06d734effbb87e9936ab8f30.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/879f6f3333680d4ffa8ddbb50e4b0267/8d2ca38c9b2df074-fb/s540x810/962f4625b3bc69ac06d734effbb87e9936ab8f30.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right" style="padding: 2px;"/></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It was nice to share a moment with these strangers, especially little Jo, who was like a little ray of sunshine. Caleb hadn't really smiled in a few weeks. It still may not have hit him that Ava was gone, but subconsciously, it felt like he almost was too. The smiles and polite nature that his mother had instilled in him from childhood managed to hide it pretty well, but inside he was falling to pieces. One of Ava's last wishes was that he would be able to reunite with his father and his family. Perhaps, this was Caleb's way of making her stay alive.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The longer he could indulge her memory, the easier it was to forget that she was gone. "I like to keep busy." It was a good distraction." "But I am certain that the ranch stays busy, too. Especially during the summer. There must be a lot of country fairs and new cattle. " </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He didn't know much about American culture, let alone the deep south, but he would be interested in learning. It appeared that, if anything, his family knew how to relax. Caleb could use a day off more right now than he could ever have before. "What do you and...uh, our father enjoy doing together?"</p>

<p>"Seems like you had it busy." When he was finishing his call and he asked about allergies his brother spoke about everything being alright. He nodded and finished placing his call. "They will send someone out soon with the pizza. Sorry about dad, he always seems a little bit more closed off and secluded i.e. probably his reasoning for living in the middle of nowhere." He said with a smile and laugh. </p>
<p>When he saw how much of an attempt Caleb had on his little girl he couldn't help but smile. "You know your dad loves Red and Blue." He stated before rubbing her hair a little with a smile.</p>
<p>"Have any kids of your own, Caleb? You seem to be great with Jo and she sure loves the attention." He nodded with a smile knowing how sweet it was to have all his family around. Some parents could disown their kids for being teen parents. He always counted his blessings that his family was fine with it all. </p> "Much more the floral aspect…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-11-09:6610746:Comment:4205122020-11-09T16:05:01.924Z✓ Caleb Eli Segal ~Mod~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/CalebSegal

<p style="text-align: center;">"Much more the floral aspect of gardening than the fruit," Caleb chuckled. "My Aunt has a flower shop in central Paris and all of the flowers and bouquets that she sells are cultivated on our own land in Annecy. It was her dream.

<p style="text-align: center;">"Much more the floral aspect of gardening than the fruit," Caleb chuckled. "My Aunt has a flower shop in central Paris and all of the flowers and bouquets that she sells are cultivated on our own land in Annecy. It was her dream. She purchased the chalet when she was in her thirties, completely run down and the land almost unusable, but over the last forty years, it's become the home of some of the best French roses, lillies, and daffodils, as well as an apple orchard. We rent the home whenever there are not people there, because I travel and am an only child. I know my Aunt wishes that I would find a place to stay, preferably in France, but she has never left the country. The appeal of other places has always been there for me. I am an artist, like my mama, although she also preferred France." Caleb could not deny that France was a beautiful country, but he'd also planned a life there with his fiancee and now that was an impossibility. There were questions he had which needed answering. While travel didn't answer them, it did seem to calm the restlessness that he often felt. He "And do no worry, I do not mind discussing the art of wine. It truly is a passion project, but I prefer to keep away from it to drink." <a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/e147a650bb6ebe96296747463b8365a6/0d6ece2990d4f1d2-87/s540x810/74df087bb84ce37b7e5c16e2117d1edb8f3daf78.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/e147a650bb6ebe96296747463b8365a6/0d6ece2990d4f1d2-87/s540x810/74df087bb84ce37b7e5c16e2117d1edb8f3daf78.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left" style="padding: 3px;"/></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Caleb could tell how welcoming Caden was right away. Being presented with a brother from another mother was not something that happened everyday and most people would ostracize themselves, before reaching out, but clearly his younger sibling was not like that. Even his father had retreated into the house by now and Caleb could tell that the way he'd breached his Mama's death had perhaps been a bit too sudden. He'd held a grudge against Spencer for many years, but seeing him struggle over Adalie's death made him reconsider. Perhaps, he'd been too harsh. Perhaps, like every relationship, it had been a journey and Caleb had only heard one side of the story. "I can eat what I like," He nodded. "But, I do appreciate the sentiment, <em>merci</em>." </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It had been since yesterday that he'd eaten and the idea of pepperoni pizza was sounding very delicious right about now. He was already excited by the prospect of having a niece. Jonah seemed advanced for her age and as bright as a sunrise. "What is your favorite pizza, Jo?"</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Puppyponi." Jonah giggled. "And cheeese." </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Caleb nodded. "Very sound choices."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"What about a favorite color?"</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Jo pursed her lips, before confidently nodding. "All." </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"You, Daddy?" She looked up at Caden, attempting to include him in the conversation. "Color?" </p>

He said thinking about the french and their wine even though he worried now that he said something it would upset him especially if he is a recovering alcoholic.

<p style="text-align: center;">Caleb found it easy to talk to this new, young man, who he honestly believed resembled their father more than he did.

<p style="text-align: center;">Caleb found it easy to talk to this new, young man, who he honestly believed resembled their father more than he did. He had the same strong nose and jawline and flaxen hair. Caleb had always looked a lot like his mother, but he could see a slight resemblance in his own face to Caden's. It amused him, also, that their names were similar. It made them sound like brothers, despite the fact that they had never met and grown up on opposite sides of the world. Caleb watched how gentle his brother was with the tiny tot and for a moment it made his heart ache. He'd almost had a chance at fatherhood, after all. His son would be about Jo's age. It made him just want to reach out and hug the little stranger; but she was only two and the truth was that it would more likely make her cry than laugh. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He wasn't yet an uncle, barely an acquaintance. "I grew up in the country too," Caleb nodded. "The French country, but still the country. I loved it there for a long time, but recently...I just wanted to get away, you know? See something else." <a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/c4a47afc06ae8adea613a7587523874f/8d2ca38c9b2df074-aa/s540x810/2e101ccfde2a0e9438bc89a863ba7f5ee5b7b4e5.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7dee7d093c3f0aacdda1864c05112742/8d2ca38c9b2df074-53/s540x810/18c4852463447509c12ec5b30102f28910821704.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="200" class="align-right"/></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He couldn't quite bring the words as to why. It wasn't something he felt comfortable sharing, yet. Hopefully, that was okay. Sometimes even family had to take baby steps.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The little girl climbed up onto her daddy's knee, a bit clumsily, and nodded her assent to pepperonis. "Ponies! Want."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Very yum." Her toothy grin only had the front six teeth, two of which had a gap in the middle.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Caleb tried to hide his smile as the toddler confused her words, combining pizza and pepperoni.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">In all honesty, Caleb hadn't had pizza in a while. He wouldn't mind indulging in that today. It was a strange thing to meet your new family and some good food to break the ice would be more than welcome. "What kind is your favorite?" <a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/2c3ea92ff1095fff763e8561a0b1f534/8d2ca38c9b2df074-d2/s540x810/33141e28124894408259ea1b4ead5fb4edb11a62.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/2c3ea92ff1095fff763e8561a0b1f534/8d2ca38c9b2df074-d2/s540x810/33141e28124894408259ea1b4ead5fb4edb11a62.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right" style="padding: 2px;"/></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He'd always had to work hard to be good at casual socialising, but sometimes it was easier to ask questions than to answer them. These were two people that he was very interested in getting to know, despite that the reality he had missed many years was difficult. "In France, they make desert pizza with chocolate and marshmallows. I am very much a fan of that."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">His eyes crinkled as he remembered the city cafes that had been the home to the delightful treat. "Have you ever traveled before?"</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Spencer chuckled as his son mentioned the pizza turned dessert. "I remember the dessert pizza. Your mother was very fond of it, wasn't she?"</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Yeah," Caleb smiled. "She always said she had to..."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Burn off the deliciousness by taking extra laps around the lake?" His father answered.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Parisian nodded. It was interesting to hear from someone else who'd known his mother. It almost made her feel close by again. "How long have you been coming to the ranch, Caden?"</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He didn't want to ask too much, too fast, but how could he find the right balance? </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There was so much that was new. </p> Caden listened to his father…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-11-02:6610746:Comment:4196282020-11-02T16:28:12.515Z3trdfg18tkx3vhttps://eternalcityrp.com/xn/detail/u_3trdfg18tkx3v

Then when his brother said he didn't drink anymore he smiled. "That is totally understandable. One is my limit around my daughter so I have some cola if you would like?" he grabbed one out of the icebox and handed it to the man before him. He took in some notice of the similarities between him and this new brother that he had.</p>
<p>"It's very and admirable that you quit drinking. I don't have the strength I need at least one here and there." He said with a nervous chuckle before running a hand through his hair. The heat wasn't the only thing bothering them outside. It also felt thick with tension out here and he wished there was a magical wave to remove it.</p>
<p>Thankfully Jonah made it that they could enjoy little things. "How about I make us all some lunch? Sandwiches or order some pizza?" He offered thinking food might be the best idea right now. </p>
