Gen 1 P7

Work for Renae has been going really well.

She really enjoys getting to be more hands on with the patients.

She even gets to use all the special equipment. 

After all her hard work as a Technologist she has been promoted to Assistant Nurse. When she arrived home from work she called up Salim and asked if he would like to go out to dinner and celebrate her promotion. 

They went out to a local 50's Diner. 

Renae has slowly been getting fed up with Xavier and his lack of ambition. She knows that he has been trying to make it in the gaming world but it has been leading to nowhere. 

She is getting tired of hearing all his excuses about how hard it is. Having a dream is great and he can keep working on it. She just wants him to actually contribute to taking care of his family instead of leaving it all to her. 

Xavier didn't bother with planning a party for Poppy's birthday like Renae had asked him to. Since Renae has been working so much she didn't have time to plan on. So unfortunately for Poppy there was no big party. Just a little cake that Renae made for her quickly after work.

Poppy didn't seem to mind though. 

Her family was there and that was all that mattered to her.

As soon as she was finished with her cake she headed over to the violin and gave it a few strokes. She wasn't sure if she enjoyed it or not but she did play for a good hour.

One day while Xavier was out and the kids were at school, Renae heard a knock on the door. As she approached she saw that Issac was standing outside her door.

She invited him in and they sat to chat.

He had heard that she was promoted and wanted to come and say congrats in person. They don't often get scheduled to work on the same days so he doesn't get to see her often. 

As they chatted it slowly turned in to some flirting. Renae's heart was racing and she desperately wanted to kiss him but she didn't.

Renae needed to get out of the house and away from everyone. She headed to the city to eat some Dim Sum and clear her head. While she was there she chatted with Anaya about what happened with Issac. Renae was feeling terribly guilty for the feelings she was having even though she didn't do anything, she had wanted to. 

When she got home Xavier was furious with her. He wanted to know where she had been and what she had been doing. He didn't believe that she was out by herself having dinner. He had no idea that Issac had been by earlier that day while he was out. Renae just brushed him off and headed to bed. 

Now that Poppy was older she didn't freak out as much when Renae went to work. She was better able to handle it and be happy spending time with dad. 

The family took a trip to the park. 

Poppy and Jin had a lot of fun playing on the money bars.

They also impishly pestered each other but it was all in good fun.

There was a lady there with her kids that would not leave Xavier alone. She kept trying to give him parenting advice and he didn't want to hear it. He stood there and listened for awhile but eventually he just walked off. 

Since Renae's promotion she needed to be at work earlier than she was used to. She now got up an hour earlier to make sure that she had time to cook breakfast for the kiddos before she left. 

When Renae returned home from work she still made sure to give Poppy a little extra loving. Yes she was able to better handle Renae being gone all day but she still wanted that extra time with her mommy.

Then the family would all sit together and talk about how their day went. Lately Renae and Xavier were sitting opposite side of the room. Renae could barely keep herself from rolling her eyes when Xavier talked about his day but she didn't want the kids to see her do it.

She could feel herself pulling away from Xavier emotionally and she wasn't exactly sure what to do about it. 

I hope you enjoyed!
