Steven shook his head as he laughed. “That car isn’t female and Elle McQ? Naw you need a fierce car name that wards everyone away.” Steven added, “The Mustang however... I might steal your name for that car since she is a she.” So yes he was odd with his outlook on life and how things went especially cars. He had been a trained mechanic at one point or at least a mechanic without the official paper training. “Thank you but I will agree a paint change on it if you want, just not pink... purple I can live with but yeah just look after my Taurus baby.” Steven said grinning though he knew it was entirely up to Isla what she wanted to do with the car. After all he had agreed that it could be hers so setting down rules for it, was beyond what he could do. Hugging Isla back he found himself laughing, oh the times when he was the worst brother in the world. Then again he could hardly deny the pride he felt being called the bestest. “Yeah yeah, I know it’s only because I was getting you the mustang but you are the bestest sister too.” He said grinning at her before he shook his head again her seriously. “Isla you will not pay me back for anything, I have done this because you deserve it and I can do it for you now. You never have to pay me back for anything and you know if you did I would just do something else for you.” Steven added grinning at her. No he was sure that he could do that and she had earned the new car and one much better than the Taurus which was what he had aimed for as her car, at least ten times over. Isla Hudson, |

"Eh, we'll see." There were more subtle ways to pay him back besides lavishing him with gifts or whatever. In fact, when she thought about it, there were things that she might have done except that the thought of Steven and disappointing him made her think twice. Oh, not that she was wild and crazy, but there were still times when she'd been tempted to give up on nursing school and settle for court reporter, or that she'd thought about just moving to California and...well, she didn't know what, besides 'new beginning', but then she had thought about what that would do to Steven and had come back to her senses. "A manly name, huh? Thor! How is that?" She gave him another playful nudge. "We've done okay, you know...you and me and Em'ly...and that's a lot because of you. Oh, Em and I are pretty smart, but still..." She didn't bring up their mother...while it stung to have the woman lost in her grief, Isla had come to terms with the fact that her mother was an adult and responsible for her own choices, and the children couldn't take that on themselves.

“No we’ll see anything. I told you, you don’t need to do a thing.” Steven stated though he knew his word hardly meant that it would happen. To him, his sisters were the champions of the world after everything they had gone through. Isla had jerk face, after their father and their mother being less than helpful in the world. Emily has their father and then the injury that put her in a wheelchair that he was still angry about.
Well he was angry about a lot of things but Jerkface he would never let happen again to either sister but he was helpless for Emily’s injury which annoyed him. Not being there for either of them, no that was unacceptable in his book but how they had turned out. A tech wiz kid and a nurse with court experience as a court reporter. Yeah he was proud of them both though he never wanted to be in their way.
“Oooh Thor, now we’re talking the hammer of the gods car... nice name for it.” Steven said with a grin. “Yeah you two worked it all out yourselves, trust me I know that much. I might not be as smart as you two are but I can see you’ve both got a handle on life.” He had no doubt that it was true and sure they had their own issues each but in the end things had worked out.
Nudging her back Steven smiled. “You know I appreciate you though, for everything you did for me too. And I know I’m not exactly a go free and set off in the world type brother but you guys should do what you want to do. Nothing’s impossible at the end of the day.” He stated not wanting to hold either of his sisters back at all.

(Going to be posting everything under Kelle to save time)
"Well, I wanted to fly and we pretty much did that! Could have done without the screaming, but..." Isla grinned widely. She'd had a great time and loved the zip-line, she'd do it again, she was certain, and maybe even badger Steven into going again..and Emily!
"Reliable car, great family, Jerkface in prison...the only thing now is getting my BRN, but you dragged me from studying, sooooo....that might not happen and then I'll have to live with you for-ev-er!"
She laughed, although she really was pretty confident in her skill, and that more study at this point wouldn't accomplish anything. "It's so nerve-wracking! How did you make it through your National Registry?"
Funny, that the paramedic National Registry was required by most regional authorities, but it wasn't as if you could move from state to state and just start work without jumping through the local hoops. What was the point of 'national'? Not that she wanted Steven to ever move, but it was just the principle.
"Maybe I should practice on you! Temperature first!"

Steven laughed before shrugging if she wanted to fly without the screaming then she could go flying on the ground. Where it was safe and his mind could stop from whirling about then ten injuries he could see straight off the bat from throwing yourself off solid ground and down a zip wire. “It was only to see that you were okay, you know. Scream to let you know it was okay to.” Steven added knowing he would never admit otherwise outside of the family.
“Blame me for that why don’t you. Besides you came willingly if I remember, I didn’t see any claw marks on your door from when I dragged you out?” He said grinning though Steven knew she had the studying done. He knew Isla would pass because she had put so much work into it, there would be nothing stopping her if only she would believe him when he told her that. “Just answer B to every question, you’re bound to be at least a quarter right most of the time.” He teased though he shook his head.
“You need to just trust yourself Isla, you know this already. You’ve practiced it in real life so you just translate it. Don’t rush and think it through logically.” Steven stated, study did a lot but then common sense and the ability not to panic worked just as well. “And no matter what nothing changes other than a job, I’ll be right outside that test centre waiting for you and I’ll steal you for dinner. No matter what the result is, it doesn’t change a thing.”
Yeah if he had to go back and sit that test all over again knowing what he did now. Steven was unsure if he ever would have passed, it was a little like a car test. You passed to begin with and then the shortcuts came in and the new and more efficient ways so the questions became awkward and now. There was little chance he could go back to the books and learn it all over again. “Yeah I’m not a crash test dummy here... and I’m not having you take my temperature. Who knows where you’d stick that thermometer.” He teased nudging her lightly.

"Oh, I have a good feeling you know exactly where I'd stick it!" Isla laughed, then wiggled her eyebrows. "I bet most of the girls would like to stick..." Well, it was best to leave that alone!
And he was right, she really did know in her heart that she was as ready as she was going to be, there was just no more room to cram any knowledge into her head without her going stark raving nuts, so there was no point in even trying. The trick now was not to panic, and to dredge up obscure facts that really were best remaining buried in her psyche!
"I just want to pass and for this to be over with..." It had been a long process, longer than most, but then, there had been interruptions, like JerkFace, and dropping to part time so she could earn a living, and, well, just one thing after another, so it was strange to have it all right here at her fingertips.
"It's going to be strange, though," she mused, "not lugging books and having a crazy schedule, and having a decent car to drive...I'm not sure how I'll handle having a 'real' life!"

Steven laughed along with her as he grinned feeling a slight blush in his face. “I know where to stick a lot of things but yeah, my baby sister isn’t get stuck with anything.” He stated grinning at her, well as far as he knew that was though really. Life was beyond his control these days; it was so much easier when they had been twelve. House arrest was easy and there was no worrying about thermometers.
“You’ll pass and then give it a year and you’ll wonder what you were worried about in the first place.” He said wanting her to feel better about it all but he knew how far she had come and that to him was enough. Everything that she had been through to where she was now, Steven could never have been prouder of her.
“Real life huh, well if you figure it out then let me know please.” He joked, “And you’ll handle it like everything before, I mean if you drive the Taurus like you did before the thing might not make it but everything else Isla. You’ll be great at. Besides extra time to yourself is great and time to chill out too after exams are all done. What more could you want?” He said smiling.
“I might even pay for a holiday for you to make sure that you have a break before starting work. You know just so at least I know you’ve seen something outside Chicago.” Steven added figuring that a little travel time might be just as good for her.

"You just gave me a car and took me zip-lining," she insisted with a laugh. "I mean, I might take a couple days off before plunging in full time, but...you don't have to do that." It was amazing how generous he was, but then, she was well aware of his sense of responsibility toward his sisters, and she knew that would never stop, and really, it did give her a sense of security, so long as he didn't smother them...and that was a matter of hooking Big Brother up with a girl to distract his attention! "I don't know, I mean, I've been to Michigan, doesn't that count?" Grinning, she looked up at him. "So, where would you send me? A convent somewhere for an exciting weekend of songs and confession?" She laughed, shrugging. "Or maybe some sort of solitary soul-searching adventure on a mountain top in Tibet?" Certainly not a beach in Cabo! She was pretty sure Steven would have fits thinking of her sunbathing in a bikini. Or worse... "Oh, I know! A nude beach on the French Riviera!" Hopping up, she kissed his cheek. "Steven, you are wonderful! The bestest brother ever! Thank you!" Steven Hudson, |

Steven shrugged, “Well if you don’t want the holiday then fine you go right on ahead into twelve hour shifts and no holiday time.” He joked grinning at her though he would make sure she had a trip in there somewhere too. Even if it was just a chance for her to see outside of Chicago for a while, to know that there was a whole world outside of it.
It was a fine line with his sisters between smothering them and trying to do the right thing. He tried to think along the lines what his father would do but then that was up for debate. The man would have been retired by now or teaching at an academy telling them how to do it all. Still he had to make sure that family was taken care of and it was exactly what he intended to do.
“Yeah and no, I’m talking about a trip away from here. Away from Chicago and Illinois.” Steven said grinning as he nodded, “If it was up to me you would be in a convent now, singing songs and confessions and having nothing to worry about.” He added chuckling as he nodded. “Tibet sure you can go there just make sure not to stray out of cell signal area so I can make sure you’re alright.” Steven knew he was border line sounding crazy but then family was family. He was there to look after them no matter what.
Steven stared at Isla for a moment, had she lost her mind. A nude beach, oh hell no he was not going to let her do anything like that in a million years. “No way, I was thinking more the Zoo or the museum on the pier.” Steven offered grinning at her when she kissed his cheek. “Listen if you want to go to the French Riviera I will make it happen but no nude anything. It’s a holiday not a psychological break from reality. Honestly what is going on with women today.” Steven said grinning as he shook his head teasing her though he was being truthful about the destination if she wanted.

"No nude beaches?" Isla gave him a pouty look. "But...but...then what will I have to confess back at the convent?" Laughing, she looked up at him with a shrug. She wanted him to take care of himself and to be happy, but then, she knew that seeing to his sisters' well-being was what did that for him, and as self-serving as it sometimes felt to her, she had learned to accept it. "Honestly, I'd love to go to Yellowstone, see the geysers and mountains, buffalo roaming...." Of course, she'd seen pictures of snow-capped mountains, of the Rockies, and there wasn't anything like that here. "Even just Wyoming, like Jackson Hole, the Grant Tetons or Glacier..." She paused for a moment then sighed. "You know something? I want to see the stars...like, all of them.' Certainly, there was nowhere around here where you could get far enough away from the glow of the city to see any but the brightest of stars, much the less the Milky Way. Steven Hudson, |

“You know you can confess to drinking or smoking instead, no nude beaches at all for you.” Steven said shaking his head, “Pout all you want, it will never work on me. Not for this, I’m not having sixty year old men leering at my sister.”
So maybe he was exaggerating a little but then he had a licence to. He was her brother and no nude anything was happening with his sister. Steven felt better if he knew his sisters were taken care of, things that he figured his dad might do had he been there. Extra funds, a place to stay if they needed it, holiday paid for because he thought they were working too hard. Simple things that he had the money to do that. He guessed it was what happened when he worked all hours and was single and also lived at home.
“Yellowstone I can do, no beaches there and sure a cabin in the woods away from the general city of Chicago it would be a good trip to take.” He added smiling as he thought about getting out of the city for a while. “See the stars huh well what if I can fix you a holiday that can give you all of that. Would you go?” He asked her figuring how hard could it be to find her a place that was safe, had starts, glaciers, mountains and geysers.
“Not that I want rid of you or anything but you need a break away so just saying if I can find this place in the world. Would you go?” He asked smiling as he was sure he could find a place that had that or he hoped he could.

"You want me to smoke and drink?" Isla stuck her tongue out at him then laughed. "Deal!" When he asked about taking a trip, she shrugged. "Sure, I'd do that...I haven't had an 'adult' vacation since...well, ever, and I guess you're right. Once I'm full time it will take some time to build up vacation time." She took his hand and gave it a squeeze. He was too generous for his own good sometimes, but then, he was single and so it wasn't as if he had a family to support or anything...not that that meant he should squander his hard-earned money on his sisters. "Of course, you'd have to come with me, to protect me from bears...and raccoons." If it would work to manipulate him into taking care of himself, too, she'd 'go there' and play the sister card! "Besides, you can keep me out of trouble, help me resist the advances of all those hunky lumber jacks!" Steven Hudson, |

“Smoke and drink , yeah right not a chance I’d let you do that at all.” Steven replied grinning at her, yes life choices were her own but that hardly meant he had no deal to bug her about it. Those were the sorts of things he figured if their dad was around that he would have bugged her about so in turn. Steven knew it was his job to bug her twice as much, one for dad and one for brother.
“See now you’re coming around to my thinking and once you do have vacation time I will be tagging along with you to make sure you do not find trouble.” He offered grinning though a holiday for Isla was well deserved, she had done great so far and Steven had no doubt she would pass her exams and be the best nurse Chicago had seen.
Squeezing her hand back he just smiled at her. Steven had no family of his own so far, no children, no ex-wife because that required time out from life in general and for Steven. No it was never going to happen so he was resigned to being the handsome single bachelor he was. “Well since you put it like that, of course I’d go with you. Just to protect you from the bears and raccoons.” He teased smiling as he tried to see through what she was doing.
“No hunky anything and as your brother I would cramp your style entirely. I’d make you complete undateable but then I can do that in other ways too.” He said with his best creepy laugh he could muster. “But you deserve a you holiday so that is what I am offering, I might have to let go some day and a week’s practice might not give me a heart attack just yet. Just promise me not to look at any guys or bears. Both are evil.” He said grinning at her.

"Bears bad, guys bad...got it!" Trying to look serious, Isla nodded slowly. "No hunks, cramped lifestyle...sounds like a lot of fun!" She laughed, giving him a nudge. "You know, though, that if you stick too close to me you're not going to get any hot babes, so...there's that!" Not that either of them had much camping experience besides Boy/Girl Scouts, and that had been in cabins with someone who did the cooking and all. She'd had a good time that one Summer, but that had been almost twenty years ago. "You really are game to try pitching a tent, sleeping in bags and cooking on a small stove?" Of course, Yellowstone had a lodge, but that was easy, and if insisting on traditional tent camping put a challenge to him, all the better! And really, she thought it would be an adventure to get to sleep 'under the stars' and risk being trampled by buffalo, walked on by raccoons or eaten by bears! "We can rent camping gear, right? Oh! Are we going to just drive there in the Mustang, stop at all the roadside attractions? You know, The Museum of Medical Oddities, the World's largest fry pan, the coffee-pot-shaped coffee shop." Actually, that might be fun to just do that and forgo camping...go where the road lead and do what there was to do... Steven Hudson, |

“Yeah see I knew you were the smart one.” Steven said grinning at her as he shook his head. “Exactly nothing better than that so why not live the dream.” Steven laughed at the mention of hot babes, since when did he ever have time for that? Work, stalking his sister’s lives and more work there were hardly enough hours in the day to work out what to do with babes at all.
“Yeah you know me too well, so I’ll be seventy years old and still cramping your style, I think I can cope.” He said trying not to laugh too much over it. Camping, yeah he had no clue about that one. He had been in the city most of his life and time for camping he had sisters not brothers though maybe talking them camping might have been a good way to go.
Teach them all about the wilds and wilderness if he had any idea about it himself. “Sure I’m game, how hard can it be when I can bring a person back to life I think I can pitch a tent... mostly.” He said grinning; well there really was nothing better than a challenge in life. “Might need to make sure there’s a stand by cabin around too just in case it blows away or something.” He added thoughtfully not wanting a good night’s rest to be lost because he was useless at pitching a tent.
“Now we’re talking, Medical Oddities and Worlds Largest Frying pan, a road trip is in order for all of that. So if it’s a plan just let me know when to book a few days and we can find out all about these things... even the world’s largest ball of string which might be pretty cool.” He suggested grinning at her, “Then we just have to remember when camping, do not investigate the bump in the night. I have seen those movies and know how they end.” He joked only partially about that one.
