[attr="class","Tylernert"]Clearly, his sister had attitude issues. Though, given what had happened he couldn't blame her. Then again, he wasn't bitter at everyone just because his upbringing had been less than splendid. Josie had given him a new look on life and taught him to be happy with now but right now the now was extremely complicated. He didn't understand how Josie could be so kind after Sofia had just practically snapped his head off. Something he found it hard to do to people who had such attitudes. Tyler decided to keep most of his thoughts to himself. It was better that way.

Tyler had mentioned Sofia to his children once or twice. Generally with the fun and rare stories he could remember in his childhood. When they asked where she was he always said she lived far away. Which was true, Tyler had spent a lot of time in Germany and that was hardly next door to Chicago. Hearing his wife's German he knew she was coming to terms with a few things. “Es gibt nichts zu bemitleiden” (There is nothing to be sorry for) Honestly, he just wished that Josie would stop chattering away. There was some stuff that he just wouldn't say, since he knew she was only trying to help.

“I think moving to the office is a sound idea.” He wasn't going to discount the office idea. Moving to another room would maybe bring tensions between the group down a little more. Tyler right now just wanted to turn and walk away but then that would just prove Sofia right. If this is what life had done to them, then maybe he should have just let her think he was dead or something. “Nein” (No) he chimed at his wife. He knew he couldn't push this aside, he had to stand and face things and not run from them. Not that he'd ever been running from anything in the first place but popping up into someone's life years later was hardly an easy thing on anyone involved.

[attr="class","Martinnert"]Martin could see Sofia breaking, regardless of the well played front that she had in place. He wished he could fix it, but even about that he wasn't sure. All he could was catch the falling out of Sofia's decisions at this point. Not something he was a fan of but something he did because she needed it. He simply held Sofia around the waist and decided to answer the question for the entire group. “Your office would be fine, honey.” He'd see that tensions were lowered one way or another, removing people out of Sofia's bubble wasn't against his code of anything. In his office, he could also get Sofia to relax, and maybe massage her shoulders a little.

Ever since Kristina's death, pampering and doting on Sofia had filled a void. He'd been through a lot recently with the death of his daughter too. It made him more protective of Sofia. He didn't want to lose her too. He didn't regret anything about his relationship with the woman in his arms and he wasn't going to let anyone walk all over her, That included her brother. In fact, Martin had plans for the vacation plans when it came to the future between him and Sofia.

Martin kept the same weary look on Tyler and Josie as he had from the first step they'd made into the room. He couldn't help but guide Sofia towards her office and wave the others behind them. He didn't entirely trust Tyler and his words were then again addressed to Sofia as she mentioned packing his stuff. “I already did mine too so deal with it.” He lightly poked her side as they headed towards her office. He leaned over and opened the door kissing the side of her neck. “After you.”

|| NOTES: ... ||

Complicated, Josie had that right. “You’re right, it’s complicated.” She said with a small smile. Sofia had come in all guns blazing to scream at her father and kill him for what he had done to Martin that day. She was quite content with that and now, the brother she wondered about for years was right there too. The brother she thought left her for no reason when now, now it was a miss communication and a new house. Complicated about summed up the last twenty or so years of wonder, tears, love and hate toward a brother she now barely knew much about. It also described their father as well though getting into that can of worms, her head was having a tough time as it was without piling on the rest of it.

“Do they know about... about me?” Sofia asked Josie, a little nervous about meeting children, then again children for either of them Sofia was always worried about that. What if one day she turned out like their father? What if she was an awful parent and did the exact same thing, there was no use in putting children through that. “I’m not wanting to overstep but that man, please never tell your children about him. Ever or let him near them.” Sofia asked looking between Josie and Tyler, of course Tyler would know all about it. He had lived it the same as she did but no there were some family members that needed to keep a distance.

Sofia found herself staring at Tyler for a moment, surprised he would even entertain the idea of another room. He left; it was his thing she tried to reason wondering what was wrong with her for even thinking he would leave right now. “That’s good.” She said quietly, “I’m glad you’re both here.” Sofia said, the first time she was glad for anything despite the whole feeling in the room she was glad that he was right there. Glad he was alive and glad he was happy, she had imagined a lot over the years but thinking he was happy and safe, it was the best option there was.

Martin made sense to her as she felt him hold her around her waist, “Office it is.” She muttered back smiling as she tried to do her best to pretend that everything was okay. She was used to doing that, it was look she had perfected over the years and only those that knew her best knew when she was faking and I’m fine moment. Martin had been through so much recently and all she had wanted to do was try and make any of it better for him, losing his wife and daughter. It was more than anyone should have to endure though right now she felt guilty for only adding to issues.

As Sofia walked she could barely tell where she was going, glad for Martin’s guidance as she listened to him talk about packing her bag already. “Then I’ll make sure to unpack them when we get there and pack them when we leave to make up for it.” Sofia stated trying to smile as she squirmed and chuckled lightly for a moment when he poked at her side. Smiling when Martin kissed the side of her neck she nodded. “Thank you.” She replied walking into her office, the familiar setting more relaxing than a patient room as she went to sit behind her desk before getting up again. No that was the doctor, she was just Sofia as she held the door for Josie, Tyler and Martin to come in.

“If you’re hungry I’ve juice and snacks and I can get us coffee too if you’d like?” Sofia asked trying to remember how to be a human being as her mind found its way around the day so far. “Or the mini fridge has a few sodas in too.” She pointed to the corner of the room, the mini fridge that was a life saver at three in the morning when everything else but a vending machine was shut.

Josie nodded when Tyler said there was nothing to be sorry for, resting her head on his shoulder. There was a lot going on, and not all of it Josie understood. She was trying to be there for Tyler though. And while she had snapped at Sofia earlier, Josie was trying to get along with Martin and Sofia now.

When Sofia asked if the kids knew about her, Josie’s gaze shifted between Tyler and Sofia. She knew Tyler had told them some stories of their aunt. So they knew of Sofia. However, neither Tyler nor Josie had explained to the twins about where Sofia was or why they had never seen her before.

“They know a little about you” Josie admitted, though she didn’t go into further details. If Tyler wanted to explain the rest of it then he could. Josie was trying to hold back now.

Having Sofia tell them not to let her and Tyler’s father near the kids definitely surprised Josie. She knew there was reasons why, and it was a decision Josie left up to Tyler. However, Josie hadn’t been expecting Sofia to request that the twins have nothing to do with their grandfather either. “I understand” Josie responded. She wasn’t exactly sure what else to say about that.

As they walked to Sofia’s office, Josie gently squeezed Tyler’s hand. “You sure you’ll be okay?” she whispered. Josie knew this had to be hard for Tyler, and she was worried for him. While she was happy that he was able to be talking to Sofia, Josie was also concerned.

“Thank you” Josie mumbled to Sofia as she walked into her office. She looked around the area, only being brought out of her thoughts when Sofia mentioned how she had snacks and drinks in the mini fridge. “I’m fine for now. Thanks though”

“Do you want anything?” Josie asked Tyler, looking up at him.
