The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Usually, at the point of every day when the lemon-colored sun rose just above the horizon on, causing the birds to sing and the local shops to begin preparation for another day of business as golden rays flooded through streets of Paris, Felik Buhari and his partner-in-crime, Valentina Gia Timeo, would be fast asleep after a heist, a night out or just a stay-up-all-night-and-chat.
But not this morning.
"Vale! Have you got Fray's jumper?" Felik, at this point, was tying Frayer "Buhari's" laces of her shiny new black school shoes, whilst shouting at Vale in the kitchen through clenched teeth as the girl's Math book dangled from his mouth.
Frayer sat there obediently and quietly, staring down at the complicated knots Felik, her pretend father, was making with her shoe laces.
After the two criminals had rescued the poor girl from her cruel real father's abusive possession, they had decided to send the six-year-old to the local school, seeing as she hadn't started yet and had a little catching up to do. They managed to get her in by fabricating all sorts of paperwork and forms a parent would usually have, making her have to take Felik's name, Buhari.
Frayer looked down at Felik with dark brown eyes he finished tying the last lace and was now stuffing exercise books into a rucksack. She was enjoying her new family very much.

He grabbed Fray's backpack and headed for the door, but only got a few stairs down before turning around, pushing past Vale. "Lunchbox!" he answered when she asked what he was doing (Ooc: sorry if this is powerplaying xb).
The group were finally out the door and school bound, after Felik running up and down twice more for pencil case and science book. Felik was on the left and Vale was on the right, with Frayer on the middle holding her new parents' hands.

"So Frayer, how are Gale and Jennifer?" Vale asked as they began walking on the worn sidewalk. Gale and Jennifer were Frayer's 2 friends, closest ones so far anyway. They haven't come over yet, but Frayer has said she really wants them to.
Of course, Vale is a bit worried about having kids over at their house, so she was thinking about telling Felik about a camping trip where Gale and Jennifer can come along.
Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Felik wasn't really listening. His mind was occupied with how this evening was going to go down, planning what he was going to say to teachers and parents. It wasn't long before the trio arrived outside the school gates that were alive with parents and children hustling and bustling in and out. This could either go really well, or.....
The Hustler shook himself and smiled at the other two, "You ready, guys?"

Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Frayer looked up at her and smiled, squeezing her hand a bit. "It's okay Mommy. Everyone's really nice here," Frayer said in her young voice, making Vale do a bit of nervous chuckling.
Ooc: Hey, you weren't on for a little while. Everything okay?
Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Felik lead the way into the school grounds and headed to the main building where the meeting would be held. Suddenly, and despite his tour of the school when they first brought Frayer here, his mind went blank. "Umm... you know where we're going, right Fray?"
The little girl looked up at him and smiled, "Yes dad! I'm pretty sure we follow the big crowd of people that are heading for the hall!"
Felik laughed and rubbed Frayer's head. She was a cheeky little tyke at times.

Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Vale laughed as they followed the crowd as Frayer had said. There were a lot more people her than she had expected. It was like every parent of every single kid here had come to this event. Well, it made sense since there wasn't much going on in he suburbs of Paris.
A young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes walked up to the trio with a big smile on her face, obviously excited of whatever was coming their way.
"You must be Mr. and Mrs. Buhari. It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Mrs. Garrach, Frayer's teacher," She said in a friendly tone.
Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Felik shook the woman's hand, "Hi. I'm Felik and this is my... wife. Valentina."
It sounded so weird calling Vale his 'wife'. The duo had put on a couple of matching rings from the bag they had stolen from the bank the other week, two plain silver bands that weren't identifiable and that didn't stand out.
Last night they had discussed whether or not to change their names, as they were sure her teacher wouldn't know their first names, and it seemed like a safer option. But, in fear of Frayer or one of her friends or other teachers giving them away, they decided to use their real names. What could come out of it, anyway?

"That's sounds like a wonderful idea," Vale replied to the question. She was going to be the 'nice and fun mom that knows the boundaries' type of mom, since that's the kind of mom she'd always wanted. Not that she didn't act like that with just Frayer and Felik around, but she was applying it to others as well so the façade of them being a young family would work out.
Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
The teacher pulled out a portfolio of all Frayer's work and they began trawling through, paintings, stories, diaries; the works.
This is okay, Felik told himself, just please don't get into 'home life' and 'before she came here...

Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
"Quite well. Both Felik and I have good enough paying jobs so there isn't much to worry about," Vale answered, making Mrs. Garrach nod. "And what about before you adopted Frayer into your family? I was told that her mother passed in a car wreck and that had been your sister, Mrs. Buhari," Mrs. Garrach continued on. The question made Vale's jaws clench a little bit, but it added to the feeling of missing her 'sister' instead of what Vale was actually thinking about.
"Yes ma'am, in England," Vale answered. It would make sense, sinc ein Paris you drive on the right side of the road and her 'sister' could've gotten mixed up and into a car wreck.
Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
"Thank you," Felik said, pressing up a false smile. He had to admit, Vale had handled that perfectly. But he was going to beat her. "It's been a little tough, as you can imagine. We've both had to work harder to supply for all of us, but over all having a child has been very fulfilling."
He knew Vale would catch onto his 'Who can lie the best' game. Life was like a big competition with the two of them.

"It really has been, that's no lie. We were even thinking of moving into a bigger apartment for more room for the 3 of us, since we have no plans of leaving Frayer," She said with a big and hopeful smile on her face as Frayer giggled, climbing onto her lap.
"That's a wonderful idea Mrs. Buhari," Mrs. Garrach commented, obviously touched by the idea of the new parents working so hard for their new daughter.
Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Felik leaned back on his chair as he relaxed, "With my recent raise, we've managed to get Vale a puppy. We've been told a dog really makes a house a home."
Felik looked at Vale and raised an eyebrow, challenging, smiling. Do. You. Worst.
"That's wonderful!" The teacher behind the table squealed, "I remember having a dog when I was Frayer's age. It really does complete a childhood."
Checkmate, Vale. I win...

Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
"Frayer honey, you wanna go find Gale?" She asked the young girl, who nodded. She jumped off the criminal's lap and went into the hallway, obviously doing what she had been offered.
Vale gazed longingly after her, small tears in her eyes. "Mrs. Buhari, are you alright?" Mrs. Garrach asked, obviously concerned about the young woman.
"I-I'm fine. She just reminds me so much of my sister," She said, her voice showing pain and loneliness. Tears fell but she immediately wiped them away as the teacher got up form her chair and came over to Vale to comfort her by putting her hand on her back and saying that her sister was in a better place now.
Ha! Take that, Felik, Valentina thought to herself. She had won this game by far.
Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
"It's okay, Vale. We'll manage. Remember what she left in the will?"
Sitting back down, Mrs. Garrach shot Felik a puzzling look. "Will?"
"Yes," the Hustler answered, "You see, in thanks for us taking on the responsibility of her child if she were to pass away, Clementine, Vale's sister, left us her house in... Hawaii. Isn't that right dear. She was very well off, you see. She had a high position in... NASA..."
Felik burst into laughter inside as the teacher chewed on every lie he told her, nodding with interest. She's buying it! I can't believe she's buying it!

Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Vale smiled, trying to keep in her laughter which she thankfully managed to do. She didn't like Hawaii, but it was a good lie on Felik's part.
"We were thinking of selling it actually," Vale's voice wandered off, her tears diminishing. "It'll provide quite a bit of money for us."
"I think that's a wonderful idea!" The teacher said very excitedly. She seemed to be happy that their life was going up with Frayer in it than down, as many families end up.
Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Felik had to admit defeat. He had risked everything with the Hawaii house and the job at NASA. Vale had won this time. But he would get her on the next PTA meeting.
The three adults stood and the criminals shook hands with the teacher. "I'm glad to hear everything is going so well," Mrs. Garrach smiled, before letting the two out the door.
After checking they were alone in the corridor, Felik finally burst into laughter, "I can't believe she believed every word!" he said in a suppressed yell of hilarity. "And you and your crying! GENIUS!"

Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Vale laughed at the compliment. Sure he was going to beat Vale next time. In his dreams, that is. Never would that boy be able to beat her in anything, except maybe being more manly. But she might win that against him too.
Her green eyes snapped up as she found their bouncing daughter weaving her way through the crowd of parents in the large cafeteria, where Felik and Vale had unknowingly walked into, holding a boys hand, dragging him with her. The duo had never met Gale or Jennifer, but this boy fit the description for Gale.
Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Felik looked down at his pretend daughter. "Who's this? Gale, is it?" He inquired, looking between the children.
"Yes!" Frayer said excitedly, looking up at her pretend parents, "Can he come home with us? Please! Just for a little while?"
Felik rubbed his head, "I don't know... Ask your mother."

Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Jeez. Did he seriously just pull the 'ask your mother' card? Vale thought exasperatedly. She looked down at the young boy, obviously uncomfortable being put out in front of his friend's parents.
"Only if his parents say yes Frayer," Vale said to her daughter. She thought Frayer more as her daughter than her 'pretend' daughter. She actually liked being a mom.
Of course, earlier this morning, she'd cleaned the house. Instead of cardboard boxes and fake tables, the Buhari's had recently been furniture shopping. Not it was a cute apartment with a small kitchen, living room, bathroom, a dining room, and, for once, a real front door instead of an empty space. As well as Vale's room being renovated to be a studio with a bunk bed for Felik and Vale, and a regular pink bed for Frayer on the studio part of course. It was actually very cozy now, and much more clean.
Re: The Joys of Parenthood ~private, me and Smoke~
Felik watched as the two children ran off to find the boy's parents. Felik had unwillingly helped with the tidying and shopping and all that jazz. He had liked the flat the way it was, but he too had to admit that Frayer would soon want to have friends round, and the place would then have to be sorted out. Besides, it now looked a little more like a human dwelling instead of a rat pit. And that was putting it lightly.
