He sighed. "You have told me you are going, not asking if you can, it. should be the same for us both." That's what he wanted. Yes, she always told him when she was taking Dev, but that was where she was going, nor could she go. "Stop... I am not saying that, Beyza." he looked up at their son. "I offered to have him before or after Thanksgiving in New Mexico. I get that it's far away...' he said, looking at her. "But you get him at your place on Thanksgiving and Christmas? Yes, I can come over, but are both your places? I don't like that..." he didn't like to do this he just wanted to make it feel more fair. "I know it's a lot, and I am sorry, I don't want to cause a problem," but last year he went to her place for everything that he did stand for since he was new, but now he felt like it was time to make it even for their booth. @beyzaxalpman

"I let you know, Diego. When have I not? Even after I told you about him, I let you know when I was going out of town with him. This is something him and I have been doing for years." Beyza explained to him. "You can. I'm telling you that. I just wanted to see him as well on Thanksgiving. Are you going to continue making me feel like crap because I won't let you take him for a holiday but I take him when nothing is going on?" She asked him with a raised eyebrow. "All you had to do was ask. And you did. If I ever told you that I was taking him on a trip and you wanted to do something else, you could've and can tell me like I just did to you. And I compromised." She took a deep breath and licked her lips before sighing. "You can have him Christmas Eve during the day, but before bed just bring him over. And you're more than welcome to come over in the morning as well." @diegoocastro

He sighed. He didn't want her upset with him. "I know that, and I get you can with Julian, and that's great..." but they did it a lot when school was out, and he never said a word. "I just want us to be on the same page, you know? Like ask me when you take him places over, letting me know if you are going, not that you can't take him," he said, trying to explain himself. "That's not what I am saying. I just want us to have the same things with him." He had few places to take him like she did with Juilan, but he wanted the chance. "And for Christmas eve are you meaning I get him Christmas eve and bring him over in the morning or I have him for the day and bring him over for the night" he just wanted to see what she wanted. @beyzaxalpman

She nodded at him. "Yeah. Of course you can." She said. She wanted him to be able to have these moments with their son. Then she got annoyed by what he said next. "He goes places because I went places and it was something him and I have done since he was born." She told him. "Julian is his godfather, his uncle. We go to support him and you know it's slowed down since he started school." Beyza shifted a little. "You will get to be able to do it. I just came up with a compromise for you and is that not good enough?" @diegoocastro

[diegoocastro]

He laughed. "Please, my hair is amazing. You are the one with lighter hairs there," he teased. Diego did care for his hair he was trying to care for it so he could keep it as long as he could. "yeah yeah I can teach a class of 20 teenagers you can get three kids out the door " he shook his head.

He smiled at his son glad he was doing good and having fun,. "I mean, anyone can beat your father, so " he joked with his niece. He smiled as the kids took their turns. "Alright, old man, younger before older," he teased as he went, taking the normal two hits to get the ball in. @vincentxcastro

"Wait, am I seeing a gray hair on you Diego?" he replied back giving a teasing laugh and a look before laughing for real and shaking his head. "Can you blame me, when you have three kids sometimes getting everyone on the same page and everything can be hard for your information," he added chuckling.

"Great job Dev," both Vincent and his daughter replied. "You got this. Show your uncle your skills," he spoke to his daughter cheering her on. @diegoocastro

Diego signed up for himself, wanting to get out there more. Watching people get up, get bids, and go seemed to go well. No one knew who they were bidding on; it was just what gender the person liked, and that was it. He didn't get as much action up on the stage as he wanted but in the end he was excited for it, the chance of it all.

He knew Nazli well enough from being in town, and that was a good start. He was happy it wasn't a person he didn't know, knowing it would be harder to date. "Nazli," he smiled as she met him in parking lots. "I know of this place. It is like an hour away...but trust me," he chuckled. "It's fun and safe but also very quick," he winked, hoping she would be excited about it. @diegoocastro

He had to walk over towards the truck of her car, part of him was worried she wouldn't have one. But he knew he had tire at his own place that he could have used. "Ah, good, good." he smiled at her momentarily. He chuckled. "it's alright, not a lot of people know it, just know to go the auto shop and let them do their thing." he had seen it before. "Half of why I teach auto shop so people know how to do it on their own." He carried her tire over towards the side of her car. "Let me get my jack," he said, going back to his car to get it. He chucked. "Now... I feel dumb." he looked at her. "I don't have that? I mean I know like of it...but not really" he didn't have the best phone too. "But really it's fine just a tire change my freshmen can even do it" he smiled. "So I can show you if you like..." he smiled. @blairehamilton

" i think i do ? " blaire shrugged as she got out of her car, going to the trunk where it would be. thankfully, she did have a spare. " right in here, " she smiled, stepping out of the way so that he could get it. one thing about blaire was, she didn't have much knowledge on things that didn't interest her. she wasn't big into cars, sports, all of that, so she knew nothing about them. " oh. okay, i guess that makes more sense. you must think i'm so dumb right now, " blaire said, blushing in embarrassment as she looked to him. " thank you for your help. how much would it be ? and do you take apple pay ? " she asked, tilting her head to the side.

[diegoocastro]

"I am always glad when kids can have good time with other friends and family" it was always nice to see all the support. "I think it's a good way to do It, so it's a safe place, too," and you can be mad and let it all out. "Oh really" he said as he made sure they got all signed up and ready for start. "I mean, we will see soon. Maybe you are already a pro," he teased with a wink. @jaslenexclairmont

"Yeah, it sounds like it is." She loved seeing her girl's happy and was willing to do whatever it took to let them stay in that happy place. The divorce hadn't been easy on anyone and not to mention, trying to explain why they couldn't see their father anymore wasn't as easy as one, two, three. He was a felon, after all, but she knew they would understand that. "Yeah, I think that letting out some bad feelings doubles as a good time, if you ask me," she shrugged her shoulders as they made their way to their lane. "I hear they even have leagues for this but I'm not sure I'm ready for that." @diegoocastro

[diegoocastro]

He chuckled. "I am glad it's not real. I do not have the time to go to the hospital," he teased as he looked at her. But he was glad she cared enough to take him. Diego smiled at her for a moment." he was happy with it, his work and his son. He sighed. "I love my classes, but shop and auto shop cost a lot, and the school had limited funds, so I try and raise what I can." he smiled. "You know, have people donate cars or car parts, wood, tools, or get money for it," he said. He did try to each year and hoped he could make it all last. @danaxallenlopez

"Ah, well, we'd have to have a completely different conversation if that were the case. Hopefully my imagined self would direct you straight to the hospital for a work up," she joked to Diego's words about seeing things. "Of course," she smiled, glad that Diego had seemed to be close with his son. "Oh," she thinned her lips, "what are you trying to raise money for?" @diegoocastro

[diegoocastro]

He just wanted it to feel a bit more fair. He knew it was still pretty new, and he got a lot of time with Dev, but it was all in town so far. He didn't mind her dating and living with someone, but he felt a bit left out at times when he could spend some holidays alone. He didn't have Dev last year since it was so new, and this year again. He knew he would come later in the day or just come over, but it wasn't the same thing. But having him Christmas eve (day) he liked enough he had friends and part of his family that did Christmas on Christmas eve. "I can have him Christmas Eve for the day?" or overnight and take Dev with him to her place? "I know here I do" he nodded "but I know you take him so many places.... "he wanted to do that too now. @beyzaxalpman

She could tell he was feeling something about this and she wanted him to understand where she was coming from as well. "It's just this year, okay? Any other time you want to take him, you can. The summer, spring break, after Christmas for New Years. I just want this first year in this house with Emre and his daughter to be great. And you should have that at your place too. Take him Christmas Eve and do things there or come to my place for dinner. You can come over for Christmas morning and we can watch the kids open up gifts." She sighed and shook her head. "You are doing things with him, Diego. He goes between our houses, you spend time with him." @diegoocastro

[diegoocastro]

He knew it had to be hard on her, she was so used to it being just her for so many years. But he wanted to make it so they both got time out of town with him. He had never said a bad word about her taking Dev everywhere with Julian. "I know the feeling I want it too.." but he wanted the holidays with Dev there. But his his place wasn't as big and nice as Beyza had. He nodded as he looked at her for a moment. "Alright.... "he wished he could have one Christmas, even with Beyza coming to see where he had Christmas as a kid. "I know again I just need to start doing more with him" they didn't have anything from a court they just made their own plans with each other. @beyzaxalpman

Beyza took a deep breath and and nodded. "Okay. Just ask everyone and we can plan around it. I just wanted to do a big thing for my new place." She paused again. "But, next year you can take him down there for the actual holiday. I just ask he stays for Christmases for a while. He's still so small and I want to spend those days with him just as much as you do. This is all just a lot to still get used to and while we're on great terms, there's so much more to consider these days." @diegoocastro

[diegoocastro]

He nodded still wishing he left her his number or something after they met. Just so he could have been around them sooner. "And I just finished my place too... "one he paid for and fixed up on his own and still was working on but he lived there now with Dev (part time) He knew she was saying it now to try and have him around for the holidays. He just wished he could have one with his son and family on the holiday. But it was why he offered before or after the holiday, as his idea was to make it fair. "I will have to call my mom about it, but I told her already it may be before Thanksgiving." She didn't love it, but whatever made her meet her grandson, she was happy with. "But I'll ask my brother and cousins what they would like to do" He did hope they would he would feel weird being at her families thanksgiving when he wasn't with her. @beyzaxalpman

She laughed a little and looked over to their son. "That it did." She wouldn't trade any of it for the world. Looking back over at Diego, she nodded. "I know you do." She took a deep breath and turned to face him. "I don't know about that. I mean, it's the first holidays in my new place and with Emre and Seyda..." She had a lot to think about, but she didn't want to tell him no. He deserved to do this. "I was going to invite you over for the holidays. And your family, the ones here, as well if they want to go. Hell, Eddie can cook if he wants." Beyza laughed a little before pausing and pursing her lips together as she thought. "How about you guys take off the Friday before Thanksgiving. You can go there, he can meet his family, and then come back that Wednesday so he and you can join us?" It was a compromise and she thought it was a pretty good one. @diegoocastro

[diegoocastro]

He smiled. He had a lot of family back in New Mexico for Devrim to meet, and he wanted it to be done in person now. "and I do understand that you didn't know me; we hooked up once, and it happened," so she had no way to track him down. "But I am glad you trust me. I just want to start doing more with him." She was able to take him all over the place, but as of now, he hadn't taken Dev even out of town. "I mean, I'd like to on holiday, but I can do it before or after just as long as it is close," so it wasn't a big change for his family. "and you can come too if it makes you feel better" but she didn't have too.

She nodded. "It does." She said and looked over to him. "Yeah. He should definitely meet your family." Beyza agreed. She knew Devrim had met Diego's brother and cousins, but not his parents. It was a good idea and she did trust Diego fully with their son. "I appreciate that. I know I was kinda hesitant at first, but I want you to know I trust you." She wasn't sure if she had ever told him that before, but she was glad she did it. However, his date was surprising to her. "Thanksgiving? You want to take him during a holiday?" @diegoocastro

[diegoocastro]

You'd have made a superb father.

[diegoocastro]

He put the stuff away that he was using on his own car away as he stood on the side of the road to watch her pull over. "Damn, you are pretty luck then," he said about never having a flat tire. He moved to go look at the flat tire but hearing what she said, he looked up from the side of the car and looked at the front tire near him. "Ummm," he said, not knowing where to start. "I mean, if you have the spare, I'll check. I can put that on." he walked towards her, trying not to laugh, so he just smiled. "They don't mean rotate like that" he walked up to a trie "they mean they move each tire around like put this front one on the back and same on the other side." he smiled "Even know it feels very flat cars don't drive flat so you need to move the tires to keep them all the same" he felt like that maybe to much. He looked at her tire and let out a breath "I'll out your spare on then order you new tires you ...do need them" he smiled @blairehamilton

blaire pulled her car over, cringing at the way it felt to drive on the flat. " thank you, " she chewed the inside of her cheek as she got out of her car. " this has literally never happened before, " the blonde told him, running fingers through her hair. " is it fixable ? i can literally pay whatever if you'll fix it. i just can't bring it to a mechanic shop again. the last time i did, they tried to tell me that my tires needed rotated ? like, i drive this car every day, they literally rotate. " she was ignorant when it came to cars, her parents never really teaching her about them and what came with owning a car. she knew the basics like oh, when this light comes on it needs an oil change, and gas is near empty, time to fill it up, but she didn't know much more than that.

[diegoocastro]

He shook his head. "Unlike you, I do not lie to the family." he had to keep up the joke with a punch to Eddie's arm. "I know that, but she takes him places with her boyfriend or Julian all over the place...." and he never went and so far had yet to take him out of town. "Like I would be open to having her come if it makes her feel better," he nodded. @eddiexcastro

"Liar." He chuckled again as his cousin shook his finger at him. "I know." He agreed since he was in the same position with his parents. He nodded and took a breath. "Yeah, which I'm sure she'll understand. You also just gotta remember she was raising him on her own for most of his life." He pointed out. "It wasn't your fault, but you have to be understanding. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble. I'm sure he'll meet our family, you just have to do it right." @diegoocastro

[diegoocastro]

"It all depends on the location." he had been at a bad school with bad teachers, and his classes got cut first always. A few schools were good and paid well enough, but his classes were cut. He nodded with a smile. "Yes, I want him to see where I am from and to meet my family." he knew she had taken him all over, but he wanted to show he was here before he asked her about it. "I just wanted to show you I am here for him before I asked," as he had waited over a year now. "I was think Thanksgiving or near if not on it" just a few days so he could get to know his other family. @beyzaxalpman

She shook her head. "That it does." She agreed with her son's father. "That's true, but you're right. Most of the teachers these days are great." She hadn't heard any complaints and she was glad that was the case right now. She wouldn't want anything else for their son as he wen through school. Turning towards him, Beyza raised an eyebrow and listened as he talked. "New Mexico?" She asked curiously and nodded. It wasn't like it would be Dev's first trip or anything. He has been all over the place and even out of the country over the years too for Julian's races so she wasn't concerned about him traveling at all. "When are you thinking?" @diegoocastro
