Foster Household: Chapter 8, Part 6
Carson continues his appointment after which he and Kayleigh meet up with friends for dinner.
Low level content warning: discussions of anxiety disorder
Carson: I guess... the asthma has been harder than I thought
Dr H: How so
Carson: Well it seemed to just come out of nowhere. I’ve got this inhaler for asthma attacks but I don’t think I’ve had one yet. I still keep it on me, just in case. I get worried about what could set it off
Dr H: And how do you cope with that worry
Carson: Not well I guess. But I can look after myself. I have a whole cleaning routine for my room to keep it dust free
Dr H: Tell me about that
Carson begins to explain the process he does to clean his room, when he wakes up and after dinner, just to be safe.
Dr H: Can I ask, what would happen if you didn’t do this
Carson: Well there’d be dust and it would make me have an asthma attack which would probably hurt a lot if it didn’t kill me
Dr H: Okay. Now when you’re outside of your room, how do you feel about the asthma triggers then
Carson: Home isn’t too bad, mum makes sure it’s vacuumed for me. And most of the places at school are okay, at least first thing. Mrs Tinker, my teacher, told me that cleaners come every night at 6. They wipe everything down and vacuum. But by the end of the school day I get worried about the dead skin in the air though. Like how much will actually end up in my lungs
The conversation continues with Dr Hanks asking more about Carson’s routines and his worries. Kayleigh sits through as best she can, trying only to say things when she’s asked, or if Carson looks to her for support. She’s a bit shocked to learn how much he actually does to try avoid asthma attacks, not all of them logical choices. All her kids have tended to be academically gifted so when she hears Carson is doing things that would have no actual impact on an asthma attack she does wonder where the behaviour has come from.
Dr H: Thanks for sharing all of that Carson. I know it’s not easy to talk to a stranger about inner thoughts
Carson: It’s tough. I just… I guess I don’t want to be worried about asthma attacks all the time
Dr H: Based on today it does appear that you have developed an anxiety disorder. In particular I believe you may have OCD. Do you know what that is?
Carson: It’s like when you need everything to be neat?
Dr H: For some. Those with OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder, often find themselves developing obsessions or compulsions which they use to manage their anxiety. While it may work in the short term, it’s not healthy in the long term
Carson: So I’m broken
Kayleigh: He didn’t say that honey
Dr H: I don’t think you’re broken. I think you just need some extra help, we all need extra help from time to time
Carson: Can you get rid of it
Dr H: Psychological conditions are complex. They’re not like a tumour which can be cut out. What we need to do instead is work on strategies which will help you cope with the anxiety in a safer way that does not interfere with your life as much, so that you can enjoy life. We have a few options to help. One, which I would highly recommend, is going to therapy
Dr H: Talking through the anxieties can often help minimise the danger they present, and lesson the compulsions. However if your mood is already off balance I would suggest also starting on some medication to get you in a better headspace before starting therapy. How does that sound
Carson: Yeah, I mean… if it’ll help
Dr H: Now these medications can have side effects, and will take time to build up. Your medical insurance should help with the cost of them though
Kayleigh: Cost doesn’t matter, whatever he needs
Dr H: *smiles* I shall refer you to a therapist then, and send a script to the pharmacy for you to collect. We should meet up again after you’ve done that for a while to see how it’s affecting you. Does that sound okay Carson?
Carson: Do I… do I need to tell people
Dr H: Entirely up to you, perhaps it’s one of the first things you could discuss with the therapist. Do you have any other questions for me
Carson: Mum?
Kayleigh: How long until he can see a therapist
Dr H: It will take some time to match Carson with someone who specialises in OCD, more and more sims are needing our services lately, but you should hear from someone with an appointment in the next few months
Carson: Why do I feel like I need a nap
Kayleigh: You’ve had a big day, exams and then Dr Hanks. Are you sure you still want to do dinner
Carson: Yeah but… I probably wont tell them much until I’ve seen the therapist
Kayleigh: We will need to tell your dad, but apart from him it’s your health. You choose who you do or don’t want to know
Carson: So Charlie and Keira and…. Reece don’t have to know
Kayleigh: Not if you don’t want them to honey
Carson: Thanks mum, seriously
For dinner Carson and Kayleigh head to the Sulani Restaurant built by EA ID: VeronicaDumm. Onyx is here with their mum Eliza, Bob has opted to stay home and watch Fergus since Harvey won’t be there. Darwin and William are also invited to celebrate surviving the exams.
Kayleigh: Can we have a table for six please
Server: Mrs Foster? Of course! If you follow me we have a lovely table up here with the best view of the ocean… and the kitchen
Darwin: So bro how’d it go
Carson: Well they concluded I’m alive
Onyx: always nice to know
Carson: The dude we saw was pretty nice
Kayleigh: He was. Very good listener
Eliza: That’s good, our kids deserve proper care
Darwin: Did he like totally shrink your head
Carson: Does my head look smaller than normal
Darwin: It’s not a great light
Carson: *laughs* It was actually not stereotypical
Jimin: What can I get you to eat
Kayleigh: Oh I would love some Kalua pork, is that on the menu?
Jimin: It certainly is Mrs Foster
Eliza: I know we’re in Sulani but I don’t know about pork
Jimin: The chef does a fantastic Island Vegetable Feast if that would be more to your taste
Eliza: Yes thank you
Carson: And we’ll all have nectar
Kayleigh: We will not. Eliza and I can drink but the rest of you 14 year olds get rootbeer floats
There’s general grumbling from the kids but can’t be bending nectar rules when at the table nearby is top prosecutor Aaron dining with cop Amabel. They’re just tying up the case against Liam, Aaron would not be stepping out on his wife I promise.
Darwin: Go back to what you were saying Carson
Carson: Oh yeah so I was totally expecting some long as couch and an old white man telling me to close my eyes and imagine my childhood
Kayleigh: *laughs* luckily we didn’t get that
Eliza: No couch or no old white guy
Carson: Both. He was maybe 30’s and black. He did have three couches, but they were all short, I wouldn’t be able to stretch out on one
Onyx: But what if you really needed a nap
William: Nap before you go Onyx
Onyx: Don’t confuse me with your logic
William: Did it help
Carson: Yes, it did. He thinks it would be good to go see a therapist for a bit
Darwin: Makes sense. Oh yes! Food! Finally!
The various drinks and dishes arrive and everyone seated has a moment as they get excited about the food.
Eliza: Maybe I shouldn’t eat it all. I’m sure Bob would like to taste some
William: Thanks for getting us all dinner Mrs Foster
Kayleigh: You’re very welcome William
Eliza: Have you heard how your exams went yet
Carson: I did well
Darwin: Me too which is weird because I didn’t study
William: No, you just copied everyone else’s work
Darwin: Po-tay-toe po-tah-toe
Onyx: I did good mother so a horse-
Eliza: Yes but Onyx you did just get detention
Darwin: Don’t blame them Mrs Pancakes, Mr A was being Mr Arse that day
Carson: He gave me detention to
Onyx: See mother I told you
Eliza: *sighs*
Darwin: I better get home or my mums will wonder if I got killed
Everyone thanks Kayleigh and begins to head home.
William: I told you you’d be fine in the appointment
Carson: Yeah, it definitely helped. And who knows, therapy could be good
William: Well if you can’t talk to them you can always talk to me
Carson: Thanks Will. Hey is this an okay light for a selfie
William: You look great
Carson: Knew it
Kayleigh: Harv, we’re home! Are you-
Harvey: I’m here, I’m here
Kayleigh: Oh you do not look good. Did you rest properly today
Harvey: Of course I did. But then my muscles got stiff so I thought I should have a swim
Kayleigh: *sighs* That’s not going to get you better
Harvey: No but you’re going to get me better *kisses cheek*
Kayleigh: Did you get my text? I didn’t want to call in case you were napping
Harvey: I did, OCD huh
Kayleigh: Yep. But he doesn’t want to tell anyone about it just now so no blabbing
Harvey: I won’t, I won’t. Thanks for taking him, wish I could of but-
Kayleigh: But you’re sick and need to rest
Harvey: Yeah. I think I’m getting better though, it’s just rough
Kayleigh: I know we can hardly call 11 an early night but let’s go sleep huh
Harvey: Yeah sleep sounds great sugar
This concludes the Foster chapter. Keira and Marta are here for now but next rotation will have their own home. Harvey and Kayleigh sleep and dream of retirement while Carson dreams of a clean room.

Foster Household: Chapter 8, Part 2
Summer is here! Carson enters a new phase just in time for a family BBQ where Kayleigh takes the chance to catch up with her kids that no longer live at home.
After Harvey shepherds Carson to bed he looks around for Kayleigh. Eventually he finds her in Reece’s old room.
Harvey: Hey sugar, what are you doing in here
Kayleigh: Just missing our kids. They’re getting so grown up. You don’t think the watcher could put off Carson’s birthday do you
Harvey: They probably could, but they shouldn’t. All his friends are teens, he needs to grow up and join them. You know, I got a little something extra done at the doctors
Kayleigh: A vasectomy?
Harvey: I can’t exactly expect our kids to give me grandkids if we’re still making some
Kayleigh: *laughs* I suppose you’re right. Come on, let’s get to bed. We’ve got a big couple of days coming up
The next day dawns bright and clear. Summer is officially here and BBQ day is upon us. Traditions include inviting guests over, having drinks, having a BBQ, and general merriment with others.
Carson decides to throw a wrench in my plans by entering a bear phase. Oh this is painful.
He sorts out his washing and after putting it in the machine passes Kayleigh on his way to breakfast.
Kayleigh: Carson why-
Carson: I’m hibernating until I’m a teen
Kayleigh: Sounds like a plan, just don’t overheat and die
Carson: I won’t mum, I won’t
Kayleigh sets up for her third Sulani still life. She has one done at night and one done at dusk. Time to add one done in the morning. After scoffing down breakfast Carson is off. I thought he might bike in something else but he is pretty attached to this bear suit. Watch out Sulani, here comes a bear on a bike.
Better call the family over for BBQ day! I wonder how long it will be before everyone changes out of their hot weather outfits because they’ve jumped in the pool. To refresh memories or if you’ve started reading sometime after the Woods Household, from left to right we have: Harvey Foster (dad), Kayleigh Foster (mum), Charlie Nishidake (eldest child), Kaori Nishidake (Charlie’s wife), Keira Foster (second child), Marta Romero (Keira’s fiancé), Reece Foster (third child), Samir Hadji (Reece’s boyfriend). Down in front we have in the very embarrassing bear suit Carson Foster (fourth child) and Clover Nishidake (Charlie and Kaori’s furbaby).
Carson: Here’s Reece’s copy of the photo
Samir: Okay?
Reece: Hey why aren’t you gifting it to me
Carson: I don’t give gifts to piles of poop
Reece: At least I’m not dressed like a knock off Teletubby
...
Charlie: Who posed good for the camera? Was it you? Was it you?
Clover: *barks*
Harvey: So… grandkids?
Kaori: Ah, we- kids…
Charlie: We’re focused on being able to summit the mountain dad, leave her be
Keira: You good Samir
Samir: *shrugs*
Keira: Don’t worry. People are less stress when you get to know them. Loners unite!
Samir: Huzzah?
Keira: *laughs in surprise* exactly
...
Kayleigh: Now Marta honey tell me all about your wedding plans
Marta: We haven’t planned anything yet
Kayleigh: Great! We can do it together
Charlie: Don’t let her bulldoze you, she tried to get me to wear a dress
Kayleigh: *tuts* Yes but you won that argument
Carson: *grrr*
Reece: That’s the worst growl I’ve ever heard
Carson: I hope a bear eats you
Reece: *sighs* There are no bears in Moonwood Mill, why does nobody get that
Carson: Shove over, I want to get in
Reece: Na twerp, there’s a whole rest of the pool edge. Find your own spot
Carson: I just wanted to tell you, it’s my birthday party tomorrow-
Reece: I know how to read a calendar
Carson: I’m not inviting you! Ha, take that!
Reece: *smiles* Suits me fine, more time at home with my boyfriend
Carson: But- I- You- GRRRR
Carson is not impressed that his snub has been ignored in this way.
Marta: Thanks for being so… welcoming
Kayleigh pulls Marta in for a hug then.
Kayleigh: I want you to know Marta, your blood family may be in the forever save, but as long as you and Keira love each other, you’ll be a part of this family
Marta: I think my mama and padre would have liked you
Kayleigh: Yeah? Did they have any wedding plans for you
Marta: Well now that you mention it-
Harvey: Okay people, Gumbo is up! Come get it while it’s hot
Carson: Last one there’s a rotten egg
Reece: But you’re already a rotten egg
Carson: I’m telling mum you’re being mean
Reece: Do you ever not tattle
...
Samir: Thanks for the food
Harvey: Huh? Oh, you’re welcome Samir
Carson seeks the comfort of his bear suit now that he’s not in the water. Most of the family stay on the deck, chatting and eating. Charlie keeps them occupied with tales from her latest soccer games while Marta and Keira flirt.
Clover however is having a scratch and snooze in the shade. Samir has elected to eat inside. It’s the full moon tonight and he feels stressed about being here. Beyond just talking to people that he wants to think well of him, he’s worried he’ll beast out and scare them. After kicking over the rubbish bin he decides to try relaxing in the water.
Kayleigh: Samir could I speak to you
Samir: Ahh, sure?
Kayleigh: I know Reece doesn’t want to take more money right now but I’d really like to help out. I know you’ve got the electricity and water sorted at your house but can we give you some money for maybe a repaint
Samir: Reece doesn’t want it…
Kayleigh: Yes but would you like it
Samir pulls himself out of the pool and Kayleigh waits, hoping he’ll let her help. Instead he shakes off the water just like Clover would.
Kaori: That’s one way to dry off
Samir: I... if Reece doesn't... no thank you
Still mumbling half to himself Samir heads inside while Kayleigh figures she'll have to go back to the drawing board for ideas on how to get them to take money.
Worried by the exchange Reece follows Samir inside and finds him staring at the family photos.
Reece: Are you okay boss? If you’re not we can go home
Samir: I… this full moon *sighs and kisses Reece’s hands*
Reece: We’ve been here 3 hours already. It’ll be fine if we leave
Samir: I want to make a good impression
Reece: You will, but we probably shouldn't push it if you think you'll be turning soon. I would rather you be comfortable than have my parents impressed with you
Samir: Okay blondie, home it is. Thanks
Reece: Yo dad, we’re off!
Harvey: See you guys, safe loading screen home
Outside Marta is busy serenading Keira and Kayleigh has started on a new painting.
Kaori: What are you working on today
Kayleigh: I never seem to know what I’ll paint until I’m in the thick of it
Kaori: I get that. Sometimes when I snowboard it’s more like the board and the run are telling me what tricks to do
Kayleigh: The process just… is
Kaori: Exactly
After the guests have left Harvey sets about cooking another meal. The family are still full from a big lunch but the food will keep. Carson arrives back from scouts and goes to ask Kayleigh for advice.
Carson: Hey mum
Kayleigh: mmhmm
Carson: At recess last week no one was playing with me. It sucked and I didn’t know what to do
Kayleigh: Dear your friends are all teens, you’ll be one after your next school day. I‘d try to ride it out. If you really want kids to play with ask some if you can join in. If it goes badly, you never have to talk to them after that day anyway
Carson: Okay mum
The family spend the sunny evening doing their own things. Harvey goes for a run while Kayleigh tries to boost her logic skill for promotion. Carson bikes around the island, happy in his bear suit.
Kyle: Yo Mr Foster, can I interest you in-
Harvey: Sorry Kyle, I left my wallet at home
Kyle: Fair enough Mr Foster. Have a good night now
Harvey: Next time I see your boss I’ll tell them you’re working hard
Kyle: Sweet
Harvey sets about making a cake for Carson’s birthday tomorrow. Pink has always been his first favourite colour so strawberry it is. While it cooks he contemplates portraits Kayleigh has done of their backyard oasis. One of the showers busted earlier so Harvey takes care of it before he and Kayleigh head to bed.
It’s barely 6am when Kayleigh and Harvey are woken up by a sad Carson.
Harvey: Hey, what’s wrong
Carson: I don’t feel good
Kayleigh: You do have a temperature
Carson: I thought vaccinations were meant to stop me getting sick
Kayleigh: Not quite, but they help you be less sick. Let’s go see what we can get you from the pharmacy
When they get back home Carson tries some cough medicine, but it does nothing for the chills. Kayleigh gives him paracetamol which seems to work better.
Carson: Can I stay home today
Kayleigh: I don’t think so darling
Carson: But I’m sick
Kayleigh: Yes but the watcher can’t find any way to call in sick, only fake call, so we’re stuck for now
Carson: Stupid watcher
Harvey of course takes time to deal with the garden while Carson goes and has a hot bath, hoping the steam will lessen the pressure in his head.
Harvey: You’ll wait until I’m home to do cake right
Kayleigh: Of course we will
Carson: Bye mum. See you after school. I hope I don’t infect my whole class
Kayleigh: Come on watcher could you really not find a stay home option (I could not)
After completing some paintings Kayleigh heads outside to bring the washing in. There has been reports lately of high winds in the area so she also upgrades the clothesline before heading off to work.

Foster Household: Chapter 8, Part 5
Harvey, Kayleigh and Carson take dinner to Reece and Samir. Carson has his first lot of exams and takes a trip with Kayleigh.
Harvey: Did you avoid detention today
Carson: Yeah dad, that’s why I’m home already
Harvey: Very good. Now we don’t have much time so do anything you need to do quickly
Carson: What do you mean
Harvey: Keira and Marta will be having the house for a few hours tonight
Carson: And we will be…
Harvey: Oh, you know… visiting Reece for dinner
Carson: Dad what? No
Harvey: I’m making a meat pie especially. Reece says Samir likes meat
Carson: Why couldn’t we go to Charlie’s instead
Harvey: Your mum wants to check on if they’ve used the money we gave them for Reece’s birthday
Carson: Well I hope you enjoy watching me die of boredom and irritation
Harvey: Carson please try to remember it’s your brother’s house, it’s not wise to pick fights in another person’s home
Kayleigh: Is the pie all done
Harvey: Almost, I just want to get the crust perfect
Carson: Mum I don’t want to go
Kayleigh: Carson in life there are things we may not want to do, but we should do. This is one
Carson: *sighs dramatically*
Kayleigh: Oh honey these counters look great, and I’m so glad you got an oven
Reece: Yeah it took a bit of connecting but it seems to be working now
Carson: *sarcastically* Yipee for you
Samir: *through food* Don't be rude
Reece: It’s alright Samir, you know Carson can’t help being an annoying git
Kayleigh: Reece-
Carson: No don’t stop him mum. Lets hear more about how I’m failing in my life compared to the shining example he’s setting running away to a cabin in the woods
Reece: I haven’t run away from anything
Carson: Yes because you’re knee deep in university work befitting your “genius”
Samir: *growls then fake coughs*
Reece: For your information I have applied to universities and I’m waiting to hear back
Carson: I bet you don’t even have a recycling bin
Reece: No Carson, we don't have a recycling bin. We like to burn our trash, letting large clouds of pollution out into the woods I’ve run away to
Carson: Did that just to spite my asthma did you
Reece: I didn’t even know you had asthma
Harvey: Boys! We should switch topics
Reece: Yes, lets. I would love to hear how you both knew to buy Samir a violin for my birthday
Kayleigh: Carson heard him telling you about it
Reece: I knew it!
Kayleigh: What do you mean honey
Reece: Samir and I have only talked about him playing the violin when he was a kid when we were out of the house on a date
Samir: *through food* It’s true
Reece: So, Carson, you could only have known from reading my diary
Carson: Thought all that up by yourself did you? Wow, guess you really are a genius
Samir: *growls*
Carson: The hell
Samir: *fake coughs* bad throat
With Carson feeling ashamed at being caught reading Reece’s diary again he stays quiet for the rest of the meal which goes much more smoothly.
With dinner finished Reece blows Samir a kiss as he heads off to relax in a bath where he doesn’t have to talk to anyone.
Reece: So you have asthma
Carson: Yes, go ahead and laugh
Reece: Bro I wouldn’t make fun of you for something you’re born with, that’s just rude. Like have I ever made fun of you needing glasses
Carson: Well no
Reece: Exactly! Now come give me a hug you budget pirate. And in all sincerity maybe try therapy for your angry obsession with me
Carson: I am NOT obsessed
Carson: Do you think I need therapy
Keira: I think we all need therapy
Carson: I’m being serious
Keira: I don’t know what goes on in your head
The next day dawns and Kayleigh, having reached 60, is starting to show some grey.
Kayleigh: Goodbye completely brunette hair, I shall miss you
Harvey: I think the silver roots are nice
Kayleigh: Guess I better switch up my wardrobe so I don’t wear short shorts anymore
Harvey: I vote for short shorts at any age
Kayleigh: I just really like my thigh tattoo, I don’t want it covered all the time
Keira: You okay dad
Harvey: Not really, I’ve got sweaty shivers
Keira: Take the day of work then
Harvey: Maybe I should
Carson heads downstairs. He couldn’t get to sleep last night, worrying about what Reece had said. He certainly wasn’t obsessed with Reece but sometimes he felt a bit… different. He’s a recycle disciple, he wants to search through trash but… lately he has felt the need to wash extra thoroughly afterwards.
Carson: Hey dad
Harvey: *groggily* yes sir
Carson: Maybe I should go to a psychiatrist or something
Harvey: Hmm. It’s not that I don’t want to have this conversation, it’s that the room is spinning… I’m sure mum can take you after school if you want though
As soon as Carson gets to school he’s hit with a coughing fit thanks to his asthma. It’s not an attack but certainly leaves him feeling worse.
Angel: Hey Carson wait up
Carson: Can’t talk. Heading to gym
Angel: But you almost coughed up a lung back there
Carson: No I didn’t
Carson is full of confidence when he gets to the gym area and runs with his chest out on the treadmill for a while.
With one before school duty done he decides to take the workout machine for a spin.
William: What are you doing
Carson: *puffing* working out
William: Angel said your asthma was acting up
Carson: My asthma doesn’t act up, I make sure. I’m fine now
William: Well you’d better hurry up. Exams start soon and I’m sure my older brother won’t have managed to screw with the printing of two sets of exams in a row
Carson: Right I just need a shower first
Mrs T: Come in everyone. Please take your seats, we will begin soon
Onyx: Can we end soon as well
Darwin: I know! I totally forgot Fridays were exam day
Mrs T: You will all have one hour to write down your answers. Remember, if you don’t know an answer, you can always skip it and return to it once you’ve reached the end
Darwin: Can I skip the whole thing
Mrs T: No Darwin, you can’t. Although if you’d like Mr Amarinth to observe another of our classes to make sure we’re learning feel free
The whole class groans in response.
Paola: Don’t you dare Darwin, I’m this close to getting a detention from that guy
Darwin: Suits me
Amie: Don’t be an idiot, just shut up and do your paper
Mrs T: We will begin when the second hand reaches the 12
Carson did his best to write some answers but still being new to the subjects made him uneasy. He found himself tapping his pencil so often that his paper ended up resembling a dalmatian with 101 spots.
Darwin: You all right dude? Your paper was a mess
Carson: How would you know
Darwin: You were the only person in front of me
Carson: So you looked at my paper
Darwin: I would have studied but I forgot exams were Fridays
Carson: I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine
William: You seem stressed though
Carson: Have you seen Onyx
William: Yeah I think they headed to the next exam room already
...
Carson: What are you doing in here
Onyx: Hoping to learn by osmosis before the exam starts. Mother is not pleased at me getting that detention. I just want a horse man
For the afternoon exam Mrs Tinker puts her headphones on so the students take the opportunity to whisper quietly as they make their way through the paper.
Carson: You don’t think it’s too weird do you
Onyx: Nah. If you think you’ve got an issue it’s surely better to get it checked on sooner rather than later or you’ll end up a twisted adult
Carson: Thank you, I think
Onyx: Anytime mate
Darwin: Amie move your shoulder
Amie: Do your own work
Mrs T: *still wearing headphones* 1 minute left
William: Wait did she even do the 10-minute call or did I miss it
Onyx: Oh hey Carson, we should all get dinner tonight after your appointment
Carson: Yeah… after my appointment
Onyx: I’ll be thinking of you buddy
Before Carson heads home he returns some books to the school library and grabs some new ones.
William: Carson!
Carson: Hmm?
William: Don’t worry about the appointment, you’ll be great
Carson: Thanks mate
Kayleigh: Just remember honey, the most important thing here is to be honest
Carson: Uh huh
Kayleigh: Come sit. Even if you think it’ll upset me or your dad, you tell them okay
Carson: I will try mum
Kayleigh: At least this place seems nice right
Carson: Yeah I guess
Kayleigh: I must ask who did that mural, it’s wonderful
Carson: Yeah
?: Carson Foster?
Carson: Yes
Dr H: I’m Dr Xander Hanks, I’m the psychiatrist here. It’s nice to meet you
Carson: Yeah. Nice to… meet you
Dr H: And I see you’ve brought a support person today
Carson: It’s my mum
Kayleigh: I’m Kayleigh Foster
Dr H: A pleasure. If you’ll follow me we can sit down and get introduced properly
Dr H: Let me tell you a bit about myself. Following medical school I did my first internship at Britechester's main hospital. After that I completed my training as a psychiatric resident at the hospital in Magnolia Promenade. My specialisation is adolescent health. However I have treated younger patients and continued to see some of the older teen patients until they’re ready for discharge
Carson: That’s… nice?
Dr H: So Carson, want to tell me my why you’ve come to see me today
Carson: I don’t really know
Dr H: That’s okay. Why don’t you tell me a bit about yourself?
Carson: Well I’m 14. Ahhh… I guess I care about the environment, I like art and archaeology. I don’t really know what else
Dr H: How about your family? Can you tell me a bit about them? Your mother is obviously well known
Carson: *chuckles* yes, best artist around
Kayleigh: I dabble
Carson: Then there’s dad, he’s a fisherman and a great cook
Dr H: Do you cook with him
Carson: Not really but we would go fishing together sometimes when I was a kid
Dr H: And how about siblings or pets
Carson: I’m the youngest of four. My oldest sister Charlie is a pro soccer player, she lives in Mt Komorebi now with her wife Kaori who is getting well known for snowboarding
Dr H: Kaori Nishidake? I have heard of her
Carson: Yeah she’s pretty great at it. Then there’s Keira who just finished her biology degree. She and her fiancé Marta are staying with us at the moment but they’ll be moving to San Sequoia so Keira can get a job at the Marine Life Institute
Dr H: Any others
Carson: *sighs* well yeah there’s Reece my older brother
Dr H: Why did you sigh just now
Carson: Me and Reece… we don’t get on
Dr H: How much older is he than you
Kayleigh: He’s just turned 19 so five years difference
Dr H: Have you always had disagreements or is this a recent change
Carson: I don’t really remember
Kayleigh: They did argue a lot over the years. It’s not been a recent fall out or anything
Dr H: And how about pets? Do you have any
Carson: *laughs* No which is good because I found out I have asthma
Dr H: Oh? When did they figure that out
Carson: When I turned 13
Dr H: And how are you coping with that diagnosis
Carson:…

Foster Household: Chapter 8, Part 4
Harvey begins a midlife crisis, Carson has a difficult school day where most of the faculty are jerks, and Keira discusses her future home with Kayleigh.
With a midlife crisis threatening to over power him Harvey does his best to do the things he loves. He hasn’t fished at night for quite some time so he goes out to his boat and casts a line. Normally he sails to deeper water but tonight he is content to search the shallows.
Keira: Hey mum, is this right
Kayleigh: What do you mean honey
Keira: I’ve seen you do this figure painting like a billion times but I’m not sure I have the proportions right
Kayleigh: You do, I promise
Kayleigh (level 10 in painting) mentors Keira while she paints and in the end we have Keira’s second masterpiece!
Kayleigh: Harv, where have you been
Harvey: Fishing, and thinking
Kayleigh: Penny for your thoughts
Harvey: I just… I’m feeling old. Like life is getting away from me. I don’t think I’m going to reach the top of my career before retirement
Kayleigh: I know you’ve always been ambitious. While I can’t magically promote you, I do have an idea of something that could help you feel young
PILLOW FIGHT
Kayleigh: Take that scoundrel
Harvey: I shall never yield villain
Kayleigh: Is that so? A pillow to the face should change your mind
Harvey: Ouch
Kayleigh: Are you okay
Harvey: Sneak attack!
After a passionate battle Kayleigh emerges victorious, and the pair have some woohoo making Harvey feel young, at least for the night.
In the morning the midlife crisis hits, and leaves Harvey yearning for creativity. He gets up early to watch the sky change colour and get inspired.
Keira: Are you still hugging trash
Carson: For good luck
Harvey: I thought your first day at high school went okay
Carson: Yeah but this is the first active day. How did you find Mr Amarinth
Keira: Who
Carson: The principal
Keira: Sorry, it was Mr Booth when I was there
Harvey: Just be polite and show respect, he shouldn’t have any reason for complaint
Mrs Hensley: CARSON
Carson: Woah, woah, what?
Mrs H: Being at school and not in class? You should be ashamed of yourself
Carson: But it’s only 8am, there must be a mod problem, no classes are even on right now
Mrs H: I care not for your nonsense! I’ll let you off without detention this once but I still find you suspicious
Carson: Don’t worry, I’ll get to my classes
And he does! He’s first in with Mrs Tinker for art.
Carson as an art lover is excited to see what he’ll learn today.
Mrs T: Alright everyone, let’s get our books and- William?
William: Yes Mrs Tinker, sorry, I’m just putting it on silent
Mrs T: Make sure you do. Today we will be introducing your young minds to the idea of negative space. While many works of art focus on the clear image, the space surrounding the focal point can be used to show a design all of its own. Let me illustrate, I assume you’ve all seen the FedEx logo? I’ll draw it. Notice how the design has an arrow here. While it is not the flashy part of the logo it is used in conjunction to show the brand as a delivery service
Carson takes some time to think about this. Stuff that isn’t there being part of a bigger picture? Weird.
Mr Amarinth: Another Foster
Carson: Oh hi Principal Amarinth, how are you today
Mr A: It appears you will not be following the example of your siblings. Mrs Hensley told me you almost got detention this morning, you are on warning
Carson: But it-
Mr A: No buts! I’m observing Mrs Tinker’s class this afternoon and I expect to see you all involved in the curriculum
Mr Amarinth gets up and most of the student exchange confused looks.
Mrs T: Don’t worry, it’s a routine check. I’m sure you won’t let me down
Darwin: I’m sure I will
Carson: So how do you work this again Onyx
Onyx: Oh social bunny? It’s not too complex. You send people friend requests right? And then you can check out what they’ve been up to
Carson: What happened to catching up in the real world
Onyx: I don’t know, I guess it’s not a teen thing anymore. You settling in okay?
Carson fills Onyx in on the bizarre encounter from this morning and Onyx assures him that Mrs Hensley is simply a hard ass who enjoys scowling at the students more than teaching them.
Carson: I thought high school was meant to be full of attractive people
Onyx: What do you mean
Carson: I’ve glanced around and honestly… not finding anyone that makes my heart flutter
Onyx: I mean I’ve spotted some okay ones but we must have different tastes
Carson: Yeah. I just figured I’d be swept over by some hot senior you know
Onyx: Dude, we’re only 13, we got plenty of time to chase relationships later. Right now I’m chasing cheerleading and hopefully a horse
Carson: Right. I guess I do have scouts to keep me occupied
The warning bell sounds and the teens head off to computer science.
The class starts and sure enough Principal Amarinth is in there watching like a hawk.
Mr A: Paola! Why don’t you have your exercise book out
Paola: I can’t hold it and blow my nose
Mr A: You’re on warning! Get to work. Amie! Is that a phone
Amie: I’m sorry Mr A, my mum’s just got some surgery scheduled for now and I wanted to-
Mr A: You’re on warning!
Carson: Mr A is that-
Mr A: My name is Amarinth Carson, use it, anything less shows disrespect
Carson: I didn’t mean-
Mr A: Enough! You can think on it in detention. Don’t think I missed you doodling back there Miss Bjergsen. If you refuse to write properly I’m sure the office has some jobs you can do
Angel: *sighs* Yes Mr Amarinth
Mr A: Pancakes!
Onyx: Yes sir?
Mr A: Can you tell me the last thing Mrs Tinker said
Onyx: umm… remember to make sure it’s plugged in?
Mr A: Wrong! Tell you what, stay in detention with Carson. Perhaps sitting and thinking will do you wonders
The bell for end of day rings, most of the students head off except for Carson, Onyx and Christen.
Mrs T: I’m sorry about that everyone
Christen: Mr A clearly did not take his chill pills today
Mrs T: Christen dear let’s not stigmatise mental illness. Onyx, cheer practice will start soon. Mr Amarinth is bound to be buried in paperwork, you go and I’ll mark you as present
Onyx: *already running off* Thanks Mrs T, you’re the best
Mrs T: I’m not sure what he expects us to do with all this time
(but seriously what do you do? At my New Zealand high school detention was done during lunch breaks, no one had after school or weekend detention)
Christen: Oh we should play hangman
Carson: Actually Mrs T I was wondering if I could talk to you some more about what you were saying in art this morning
When Carson finally gets home Harvey is busy cooking and Kayleigh is stuck in her art headspace.
Carson: I’m back
Harvey: Did you have fun after school
Carson: Not exactly, I had detention
Harvey: Did you have to scrape gum off desks
Carson: No, we just talked about art. I guess it was kind of fun if I think about it
Harvey: That’s the spirit kid. With the right attitude, you’ll get through anything
Marta: Doing homework already
Carson: Yeah. Mr Amarinth basically thinks I’m a step away from getting expelled (yes I, the watcher, actually got a pop up saying this)
The homework doesn’t take too long though and Carson ends the day playing some games with Onyx, Darwin and William through the wonder of the internet. Kayleigh does more painting, Harvey does more stargazing, and Marta and Keira spend the time kissing and taking romantic selfies.
The next day Harvey starts tending his garden, which is one of the activities that will help curb his midlife crisis. The bees don’t even attack him today!
Carson: Mum
Kayleigh: Yes Carson
Carson: I‘ve been thinking, I’m basically an adult now. I should be able to go wherever and do whatever, just like my siblings did as teens
Kayleigh: Well I’ve no objection. Get out there if you want to, teenage years are for trying things
Carson: So I can go to a nightclub (flashback to this nonsense)
Kayleigh: If you think you can get in, sure, go for it
Harvey has elected to stay in Sulani for his fishing shift today. While there’s a nice, secluded cove nearby Harvey decides to try out the spot in the bay. He gets some familiar fish and snags a rare bluefin tuna. Of course Bluefin Tuna are endangered so he quickly throws it back.
Kayleigh: How is the house hunt going
Keira: Slow. We’re not sure if we want a small solo place or an apartment
Kayleigh: I can see benefits for both
Keira: Exactly! We’ve got enough for a small place but an apartment could be more discreet
Kayleigh: Well yes and no. In apartments you always have nosy neighbours. Plus there’s the problems of noise
Keira: I guess. I just don’t know if I’m adult enough to handle leaky pipes or fried electronics by myself
Marta: You won’t be by yourself carino, I’ll be there
Keira: Yeah but not all the time, you’ll have work to
Kayleigh: Oh I have an idea. Your dad and I will take Carson out for dinner, and you two can practice being the only ones in the house. I suspect you’ll handle it better than you think.
Marta: How about it carino? Date night at home
Keira: If you’re there it sounds perfect

Foster Household: Chapter 8, Part 3
Time for Carson to become a teen! He has a birthday party with his friends and Keira and Marta decide to accept Kayleigh's offer of staying at the house until they're ready to head to San Sequoia.
Low level content warning: Mentions of emotionally abusive ex
Kayleigh: Thanks for coming
Eliza: We were bringing Onyx anyway, it was kind of you to extend the invitation
Bob: Onyx, get off the computer
*computer breaks*
Onyx: Wasn’t me
Paola: Mr Pancakes! Your latest cookbook was amazing, can I have a photo
Bob: Sure *poses*
Kayleigh: I though Bob didn’t do crowds
Eliza: He doesn’t but he needs to up his fame for his final promotion
Darwin: You excited to get tall Carson
Angel: Yeah tall is good
Carson: Sort of
Harvey: Here’s your cake, make a wish
Onyx: Make it a good wish
Kayleigh: Happy Birthday Carson
Carson: Thanks mum
Teen Carson! His last favourite colour is blue and his room gets a do over to suit his new style. He rolled the learning and discovery hobby which will pair nicely with his rolled like of archaeology. He also rolled liking pessimistic sims and disliking optimistic sims. He rolled liking flirtation and affection, alongside disliking physical intimacy so I think that makes him asexual but not aromantic. He rolled being biromantic.
Onyx: Woah, I’m so used to you having colourful glasses
Carson: I thought I’d try the see through trend, see what it’s like
Bob: This cake is exquisite, your dad did a good job
Carson: I’m glad you like it Mr Pancakes
Angel: So you coming to high school tomorrow right
Carson: I think so, but I feel like the watcher won’t be coming since it’s career day
Onyx: Career day is so boring, why do we have to have it every week?
Amie: Because we need to “broaden our young minds”
Carson: I don’t get it. Are you imitating someone
Onyx: *sighs dramatically* Mr Amarinth
Eliza: That man does not make a good principal
Paola: You said it Mrs Pancakes. He’s a stuck up jerk
Christen: Don’t be surprised if he ignores you
William: Or thinks you’re going to be a clone of everyone else in your family
Onyx: Or just refers to you by your last name because “too many kids experiment with identity these days”
Bob: I did call to complain about that, gave him an earful
Onyx: I know dad, thanks
Angle: But there are good things. We’re there, obviously
Pictures with friends: Onyx, William, Darwin, Christen
Bob and Onyx autonomously hugging in the background. More pictures with friends: Angel, Paola, Amie
The party doesn’t last long however as Carson’s llama flu is still bothering him. He takes some medicine but still feels off.
Carson: Hey dad
Harvey: you all right
Carson: Not really. I think it might be something more than llama flu
Harvey: Well there is an after hours clinic on Ohan’ali. We could pop in
Carson: Sure, just let me get changed
Harvey: That jacket is… unique
Carson: I live in Sulani, why not have a pirate phase
Harvey: *chuckles* fair enough, come on
While they’re out Kayleigh takes some time off painting and watches some action on tv.
Kayleigh: Hey, where’s Carson
Harvey: He’s at the pharmacy
Kayleigh: What was wrong? We got him his vaccinations
Harvey: Can’t vaccinate for asthma sugar
Kayleigh: He’s got asthma?
Harvey: Yeah. Doc said we need to try keep the house dust and dander free, and make sure he doesn’t get too stressed
Kayleigh: With Reece not living here anymore that should be a little easier
Harvey: *laughs* Exactly. But I don’t know what effect it’ll have on his fitness
Harvey and Kayleigh are both active and the family is sporty. They're NOT concerned about weight
Kayleigh: How are you doing Carson
Carson: I don’t know, it’s weird. I mean who even develops asthma as a teen
Harvey: I’m sure a lot of people do
Carson: Hmm, maybe
Kayleigh: Try not to be too disheartened honey, we can adjust
Carson: But how can I be a scout leader if I can’t hike without collapsing
Harvey: You got the inhaler, you should be okay if you keep it with you. The only way to know is to try
Carson: I guess. Thanks for helping with the project
Kayleigh: No problem. Have a good sleep honey
Harvey: Catch you on the flip as the young ones say
Carson: Ugh no one says that dad
They all head to bed. During the night Harvey feels like a midlife crisis could be coming along, but doesn’t want to bother any of his family with it when Carson needs support for his diagnosis.
Carson: Morning Dad
Harvey: Good luck on your first day of high school, try not to fall asleep at career day
Kayleigh: Good morning Carson
Carson: Trash is treasure
Kayleigh: That's nice honey. I just wanted to let you know Keira and Marta will be staying here until they’re ready to move to San Sequoia. They’ll have Reece’s old room
Carson: Yeah mum, sure
Kayleigh: Remember, Marta’s lost her family. We don’t want her to feel excluded from this one
Carson: Yeah yeah, talk to Marta, got it. Hey do you think this light makes my skin look good or amazing
Kayleigh: *sighs* teens
Harvey: We are getting old
Kayleigh: I’m not old
Harvey: Did I say old? I meant better looking
Kayleigh: *laughs* come here you
Carson: Ew! Could you two not kiss when I’m trying to… well do anything really
Kayleigh: Where’s my eldest baby
Charlie: *laughs* right here mum
Kayleigh: Oh I miss you
Charlie: You saw me a couple of days ago
Kayleigh: Yes but when you’re a parent it can feel so much longer
Charlie: Heads up, I’m getting really good at chess now
Kayleigh: Then how come I have a large pile of your pieces
Charlie: Tactics mum, tactics
Kayleigh: I just don’t know what to do about your brothers
Charlie: They’ve been knocking heads since they could knock heads mum, that’s not on you
Kayleigh: I just wish they could get along
Charlie: Mum, one of the first things I learned in professional sport, not everyone will get along. Sometimes personalities just clash. It doesn’t make the people bad
Kayleigh: I just worry I did something wrong
Charlie: Mum, you didn’t. You taught us to fight for what we want, it just turns out that both those boys want to be the best, so they fight
Kayleigh: When did you get so wise
Charlie: *scoffs* When I took your queen, checkmate
Kayleigh: When you- hey! Good game. I have to go help your sister move. Take care honey
Kaleigh heads to Willow Creek but Keira and Marta are running late with packing so she takes a trip to the park while they finish up. She spends some time in the observatory, then collects some fruit from the nearby plants for Harvey to add to his garden.
Kayleigh: Ready to go now
Keira: Yes. It’s been wonderful here, James and Alexander are so generous. But Liam knows we’ve lived here, we can’t risk staying even if he is locked away for now
Kayleigh: Whatever the reason, I’m always going to be happy when my kids are home
Keira: Big stuff in storage, clean clothes in bag, I hope I didn’t forget anything
Kayleigh: If you did I’m sure Alexander will send it along
Marta: Why does the water here taste so good
Kayleigh: There’s freshwater springs all around Sulani, we’re lucky
Marta heads upstairs to check out the room. Part of her wishes they could stay here forever, the sights are beautiful. But if Liam could find them from a society wedding, he’d be able to track Keira to her celebrity mum. It’s not worth the fear she’d live in.
Carson: And then I said to him- Marta!
Marta: Hola Carson
Carson: It’ll be good to have you two here, even if it’s just for a bit
Keira: Thanks. It’s always nice to be back here
Carson breezes through his homework easily enough and then decides to be brave and try swimming some laps. The filtering keeps the pool water clean, but he’s not sure how much he can exercise without upsetting his asthma. He finishes and coughs, and I worry I’ve killed him, but he recovers from coughing without having a full on attack.
Marta: You use such lovely colours
Kayleigh: Thank you honey. Do you paint
Marta: Me? No. I like singing, but I don’t paint
Kayleigh: If you want to try while you’re here there’s plenty of supplies, just help yourself
Marta: Gracias
*phone rings*
Kayleigh: Hello? Oh Reece honey how are you? Yes your sister got here fine, she and Marta are getting settled. What was that noise? If the turbines are howling you should really get someone to come look at them, you won't be able to sleep with that racket. Talk soon darling
Kayleigh: How was your first day then
Carson: Not terrible, I’m in the same class as Onyx which is nice
Marta: Who
Harvey: Oh Onyx is Bob’s eldest
Marta: Your cooking friend yes?
Harvey: You got it
Marta: Were the students nice? Spot anyone cute?
Carson: Why
Marta: I’m a romantic, I’m curious about these things
Kayleigh: I had so many crushes in high school
Carson: Excuse me, I just need to text Onyx asking how to get out of this conversation
Marta: Forgive me, I didn’t mean to overstep
Harvey: If you need to come out as straight son, that’s fine. Straight people are the majority
Carson: Dad! I’m not straight, I’m bi
Marta: Yay! Another one for team bi!
Kayleigh: So it’s official, we failed at passing on our pan genes
Marta: All your kids are queer. That’s something is it not?
Harvey: Of course it is. We love you Carson
Marta pulls Carson in unexpectedly for a hug and whispers.
Marta: Don’t worry, being bi is the best, you’ll love it

Foster Household: Chapter 8, Part 1
Time to head back to Sulani. Harvey meets up with some buddies to go fishing, Carson and Kayleigh discuss his upcoming birthday and Keira visits only to be told off, Foster parent style (which means not really)
Low level content warning: Mentions of emotionally abusive ex
Harvey: Morning sugar, room for two
Kayleigh: Afraid not, besides lavender upsets your skin
Harvey: True. Got plans for today?
Kayleigh: Painting of course. I think I want to get started on the realism set. How about you Harv?
Harvey: Finally going to have a fish club meetup
Kayleigh: If you’re going to Ohan’ali Town let me know. Carson and I will come
Harvey’s current aspiration is to make 50k from selling his honey so he gets to work tending his garden. Kayleigh just wants to earn money, and the best way is by selling her paintings. Carson wakes up late and heads downstairs. He contemplates the painting of Oscar the Grouch while he eats. Carson is a recycle disciple so I imagine he probably sees him as some kind of idol.
Harvey is checking on his bees and collecting their latest honey when he’s hit by a wave of flirtyness. Guess I know where Reece gets it from.
Carson: But mum why do we have to go to the doctor
Kayleigh: It’s a mod trial, you want to be vaccinated against deadly things don’t you
Carson: Yeah I guess. I just don’t like needles
Kayleigh: *laughs in possession of many tattoos* there’s a way to get over that but best wait until you’re older
Harvey heads to Ohan’ali and checks out the fishing pier. It seems like an alright location and the sun has come out so he calls up his fishing club. Members are Bjorn and Shelly who have joined because they love fishing. James has joined for fun because he’s old and needs friends. We also have Reece who wants to be able to catch stuff in Moonwood Mill. Lastly Bob who Harvey has been trying to convince to catch his own fish to cook with.
Bob: Hey Reece, how’ve you been
Reece: Not bad Mr Pancakes
Bob: Harvey says you’re living with your boyfriend now in a house that needs TLC
Reece: *smiles* Yeah, in Moonwood Mill but-
Bob: Let me show you some pictures of my first place
Reece: Oh watcher that was a dump
Bob: You’re telling me. Look, if your parents complain about your surroundings just tell them, it can always be so much worse
James: Hey thanks for inviting me
Harvey: No problem, the more the merrier
James: I’ve been wanting to fish in Willow Creek but it’s always been cold lately
Harvey: That’s the great thing about Sulani. Never cold enough that the fish don’t bite. You missing the sun yet Reece
Reece: No Dad, I like the woods. But I haven’t caught anything proper there yet
Bob: I haven’t caught anything full stop
Harvey: You done much fishing James
James: Oh not for years. Ophelia always complained of the smell, even when I cleaned them outside, so we switched to supermarkets
Bob: I like supermarkets
Harvey: Oh come on Bob, give it a go
Bjorn: Here, I can show you how to cast out your line
Bob: I’ve already done that
Bjorn: Won’t hurt to do it properly
Carson: Mum, I’ve been thinking
Kayleigh: Yes
Carson: Well it’s BBQ day tomorrow. Can we have a family get together then-
Kayleigh: Oh yes everyone’s already invited
Carson: -and for my birthday just invite my friends
Kayleigh: You… don’t want family at your party
Carson: Well I certainly don’t want Reece
Kayleigh: Your brother-
Carson: Would just make fun of me the entire time and embarrass me in front of my friends
Kayleigh: How about your sisters though
Carson: You know if we invite them and not Reece he’ll sulk about it forever. He always gets mad at me existing
Kayleigh: Well if you read his diary-
Carson: I didn’t! He has a stupid loud voice that carries. I’m surprised we can’t hear it over here
Bob: Oh, oh, I think I got something
Bjorn: That’s it Bob, focus, reel it in nice and slow
James: Are you sure he shouldn’t reel it in fast
Bjorn: Absolutely not, the fish could go flying
James: But if he does it slow-
With a grunt Bob pulls up his catch. One magnificent log.
Bob: Fudge bars
Harvey: It’s okay Bob, we’ve all caught a branch or two
James: I must have fished up a forest in my time
Reece: All I can get in Moonwood Mill is seaweed
Harvey: Well what fish are there
Reece: Dad how would I know if I haven’t caught them
Harvey: You examine the water son
Reece: Oh hey, I got a bite! It’s…. nothing. That’s weird
Harvey: Keep trying
Reece: But seriously. I felt something. Where the heck did it go
Kayleigh: Look Carson, you only have one brother
Carson: One too many by my count
Kayleigh: And you’re only going to ever have one brother
Carson: I could always marry a mermaid with like ten trillion brothers
Kayleigh: In laws are not the same, you haven't grown up with them. He’s moved out now, you should try getting along
Carson: We went to see him for his birthday and what does he do? Use me as an arm rest, again
Kayleigh: *sighs*
Carson: Mum I just want my birthday to be about me, nothing is ever about me when I’m the youngest
Kayleigh: Okay. If it means that much, we can just have your friends for your birthday
Carson: Sweet! We made a good cowplant mum
Kyleigh: Yeah we did. Race you to the water?
Carson: Ready, set, bye! *sprints off*
Kayleigh: hold on, that’s cheating
The afternoon carries on and James finds Nemo. Bob manages to fish up some kind of chest. Don’t know what’s in it but hey, it’s better than nothing. Which is what Reece catches, nothing. Well seaweed and nothing. Harvey however catches a rare endangered Butterfly Fish and quickly throws it back in, hoping he hasn’t hurt the little guy. He also catches a Fighting Plakat which is another new fish for him.
Harvey: Carson, someone needs to set the table
Carson: Yeah, someone does
Kayleigh: Carson, do as your dad asks
Carson: Fine. But he technically didn’t ask anything. What’s for dinner dad
Harvey: Salmon maki
Carson: Can you make enough for leftovers
Harvey: May as well, there’s a ton of fish in here
Harvey finishes up and then calls the household to eat.
Keira: Hola family
Harvey: In the dining room
Keira: Yeah I can see dad
Kayleigh: Look honey, your father and I wanted to talk to you about your arrest
Keira: It wasn’t an arrest! It was a detainment… they let me go without charging me
Carson: Who charged what now
Keira: Marta’s idiot ex was being stupid so I punched him, seemed like the thing to do. We got into a tussle and when the cop showed up she detained us until she could figure out what happened
Harvey: You’re lucky Aaron could help on such short notice or it could have been worse
Carson: Idiot move. Should have knocked him out so you could talk before being whatever you were
Kayleigh: Carson, really
Carson: Mum, we're a family of fighters
Kayleigh: Maybe we shouldn’t be. No computer for a day
Carson: But normally-
Kayleigh: No computer for a day
Keira: Woah mum, where did these rules come from
Harvey: We got worried when Aaron called. Watcher knows we’ve all been arrested in our youth but you shouldn’t just attack people
Keira: He was verbally attacking Marta
Carson: He what
Keira: I was standing up for my girlfriend. Plus he knocked Joey down so I was standing up for him as well
Kayleigh: We’re not saying you shouldn’t look after those you love. But honey you should think before you punch
Kayleigh: Enough discipline though, I hate it
Carson: So do I
Kayleigh: What about your other news? You’re engaged now
Keira: Oh yeah, I asked Marta to marry me. I didn’t like to think of her alone after that whole incident. We have to move though. Liam knows we lived there so we’re thinking San Sequoia
Harvey: Two kids married or engaged, when do I get some grandkids
Kayleigh: Ignore your dad. Here. If you need a respite on the way there, we do have a spare room since Reece moved out
Following dinner Kayleigh and Keira do some painting and chat a bit more. Keira is not great at painting and Kayleigh wants to give her some tips. In the end Keira produces… some kind of art? Kayleigh on the other hand makes another masterpiece! The force is strong with this one.
