Happy Birthday, Nate

Relationship: Nate Kulina & Jay Kulina, Nate Kulina & Lisa Prince

Rating: General audiences.

Warning: Use of "faggot" once

Summary: Nate celebrates his birthday with Jay, Lisa, and his younger brother, Shayne.

Author's Note: This is an AU where Lisa doesn't lose the baby and Nate doesn't die. Shayne is the Kulina/Prince baby - named after Shane Gray and Shayne Topp. Luke is a completely original character and is Nate's love interest in this AU I have created. Depending on the reception of this, I might post more from this AU.

March 15. Nate’s birthday. Jay and Shayne crept into his room. Jay tossed him on th bed, startling Nate awake.

“Wha-” Nate rolled over to see his little brother. “What are you doing in here?” He asked.

“Happy birthday!” Shayne threw his hands up in the air.

“You couldn’t wait til I was awake?” Nate asked, slightly annoyed.

“He wanted to be the first to wish you a happy birthday,” Jay explained.

“Thanks, bud.” Nate rustled Shayne’s hair, before playfully pushing his head, making him fall backward on the bed.

“Hey!” Shayne giggled. Nate rolled over, hoping to fall back asleep. “Mama’s making breakfast!”

“Yeah, so get your ass up.” Jay pulled the pillow under Nate’s head, making him groan.

“Can’t a guy sleep in on his birthday?” Nate asked, looking at Jay.

“No.” Shayne giggled.

“It’s almost eleven. We did let you sleep in. Come on.” Jay grabbed Shayne and pulled the cover off of Nate. “Happy birthday. If you’re not in the kitchen in ten, I’ll be the one jumping on top of you,” Jay warned, carrying Shayne under his arm into the kitchen where Lisa was making breakfast.

“I told you guys not to bother him.”

“You’d let him miss breakfast on his birthday?” Jay asked. “How cruel.”

“Yeah, how cruel,” Shayne repeated. Jay high-fived his baby brother.

“I need to stop letting you two spend so much time together. He’s becoming your mini-me.” Lisa teased. The decision to move to the East Coast was an easy one when Lisa got the job offer. There wasn’t much left for her in Venice after Alvey refused to meet her demands for being in Shayne’s life. Then when Jay and Nate had decided to come along for the cross-country move and help her with Shayne as they had since he was born, she found it impossible to turn them down. Shayne loved following his brothers around and they adored him. While their family dynamic was far from conventional, she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“You hear that, Shay? Your mom doesn’t want us to hang out anymore.”

“Why?” Shayne asked.

“It’s too early for this,” Lisa replied. Nate walked into the kitchen. “Happy birthday!”

“Thanks, Lisa.” He smiled.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t stop those two from waking you up. Trust me, I tried.” She told him.

“It’s okay.” Nate sat at the kitchen table, going through and responding to the birthday messages. Opening Alvey’s, he scoffed, turning his phone to show Jay.

Alvey: happy birthday

“Can’t believe he remembered this year.” Jay laughed dryly.

“What?” Lisa asked.

“Alvey actually wished him a happy birthday this year,” Jay reported.

“Wow.”

“He’s making an effort,” Nate replied, deleting the message. Nate still acknowledged that Alvey was his father who did his best when Christina walked out. But Nate’s relationship with his dad ended the night he came out and Alvey called him a faggot. No apology was ever given.

“So what are you doing? Did you make any plans with friends? Or Luke?” Lisa asked.

“I don’t have any plans. I was going to just sleep in and work on the pieces for the show next week,” Nate explained. He quit fighting and took up painting. Christina’s art skills turned out to rub off on him. Having been invited to show his work at various galleries and art shows. Selling his art didn’t pay as much as fighting did, but he enjoyed it more. He didn’t feel like he had anything to prove anymore. “And then dinner with you guys like we planned.”

“Did you invite Luke to dinner?” Lisa asked.

“No. Why would I? It’s a family dinner.”

“You’re allowed to invite your boyfriend to your birthday dinner.” She told him.

“Luke’s not my boyfriend.”

“I beg to differ,” Jay looked at Nate.

“And how would you know?” Nate asked. “We’re just- talking. It’s nothing serious. If it’s not serious he doesn’t need to come to a family dinner even if it’s my birthday. What about you? Did you invite Zach?” Lisa narrowed her eyes at him. “Exactly.”

“I don’t know about you, Shay, but I actually like Zach and Luke. Maybe we should invite them to dinner.” Jay teased. Shayne nodded in response.

“No!” Nate and Lisa both said at the same time. Shayne giggled.

“We seem to have hit a nerve.” Jay looked at Shayne who smiled.

“Luke always has Legos.” Shayne pointed out.

“Can you pick up the cake before dinner?” Lisa asked, Jay. “I’ll be in Connecticut for a few hours.”

“For what?” Nate asked. “It’s the weekend.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Lisa told him. “Jay?”

“I know you think I’m irresponsible, but I do have my shit together seventy percent of the time, right, Shay?” Jay winked at his brother.

“Jay has his shit together,” Shayne assured his mom. Nate chuckled.

“You can’t say that. Remember? That’s a grown-up word.” Lisa looked at Shayne.

“Sorry!” He covered his mouth with his hand.

“Don’t worry. I will pick up the cake. You want to come with me to get the cake?” Jay asked Shayne who nodded.

Nate sat on the tarp in his studio. When they moved into the house, they converted the garage into his studio with some rogue workout equipment. His phone rang. It was Christina. Wiping his hands on his pants, he answered.

“Hello?”

“Happy birthday to you.” She began singing off-key, making him smile. “Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Nathaniel. Happy birthday to you.”

“Thanks, mom.”

“How are you?” She asked.

“I’m alright.” He replied. His relationship with her wasn’t the best, but it had gotten better in the last few years. “How are you?’

“I’m good. It’s good to hear your voice. I miss you. Are you planning on making a trip to visit? Maybe in the summer.” She suggested.

“Jay and I talked about it, but- there’s so much going on here.”

“Jay sent me some photos of your work last week. I’d love to see you in person.”

“You could always come to New York.” He told her. “I’ve got another art show next week.”

“That’s exciting! Maybe I will have to take a trip to go see you. How’s Lisa and the baby?”

“They’re good. Shay’s not a baby anymore. He’s getting huge. Sometimes he’ll come into the studio and paint with me,” Nate explained, looking up at the painting Shayne made that they had hung up.

“Aw. That’s adorable. He wants to be just like his big brother.”

“Yeah. He’s great.”

“I’m glad everyone is doing well. I miss you and your brother. Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, but I’m sure you’ve got a packed day with celebrations and you’ve got things to do. So I’ll let you get back to it. I love you.”

“Love you too. Thanks for the call, mom. Bye.” Nate hung up and stood up. Checking the time, he figured he’d better clean up before dinner.

After dinner, Jay brought the cake to the table. It was decorated with Van Gogh’s Starry Night in frosting.

“Wow.” Nate couldn’t hide the smile on his face. “You went all out.”

“Wanted the best for our little Van Gogh,” Jay explained.

“I am nowhere close to Van Gogh, but I appreciate it. Thank you.”

“It was Shayne’s idea because of that Lego set you guys put together,” Lisa explained, putting candles on the cake.

“Oh, really?” Nate looked at Shane who nodded. “Thanks, bud.” Just as Jay was about to light the candles, the doorbell rang.

“Who’s that?” Lisa asked.

“Who knows?” Nate asked, opening the Ring camera on his phone. It was Luke. “Uh- I’ll be right back.” Getting up from the table, he walked outside to meet Luke who held something behind his back. “Hey.”

“Hi. Happy birthday.”

“Thanks. What are you doing here?” Nate asked.

“I didn’t come to crash dinner. Don’t worry. I just wanted to give you your gift.” Luke told him, pulling a box of a Lego set from behind his back. “Figured since you and Shayne had a good time with Starry Night, I’d get you your next project. It’s The Great Wave by Hokusai.”

“Thanks. He’s going to love this. We’re both going to have a good time doing it.” Nate smiled, looking at the box. “They actually got me a cake with Starry Night on it because of the last set you got us. You know we’re about to cut the cake. Do you want to come inside?” Nate asked.

“No. It’s okay.” Luke understood Nate’s hesitation to bring him around his family.

“Come on. You came all this way. They got a cake for like twenty people, but it’s just the four of us.”

“Are you sure?” Luke asked.

“Yeah.” Nate welcomed him into the house. “We have a guest.” He announced, leading him to the dining table.

“Hey, Luke. What are you going here?” Lisa asked, giving Nate a look.

“Wanted to drop off Nate’s gift, but he said I could join you for cake if that’s alright with everyone.” Luke sat down cautiously next to Nate.

“Yeah! We have more than enough,” Jay replied.

“Look, what I got.” Nate showed Shayne the box.

“More Legos?”

“More Legos.” Nate laughed.

“Alright. Ii hope everyone has been practicing and has warmed up their voices.” Jay lit the candles.

“I thought you weren’t going to sing.” Nate looked at his brother.

“We don’t turn our backs on tradition, Nathaniel. You’re just going to have to suck it up.” Jay told him. They began singing excruciatingly, but Nate appreciated it. Not that he’d let them know that. After everything had happened, he was finally happy. The happiest he’d ever been. Surrounded by the people he loved most.

Say whatever you want about Criminal Minds Evolution but these two stole my heart ❤️

It might be the fact that they're married in real life but their on screen performance was phenomenal and I love that Kiele Sanchez was a big part of Elias his story. Zach Gilford as Elias might be one of my fav unsubs, the man really called out Rossi for being old :')

THE PURGE: ANARCHY (2014)

La-dee-da it’s The Purge again but maybe this time there will be a bit of a resistance? Is that a whiff of Anarchy in the air? Sort of. This movie is… weird. The Purge idea is weird enough and I already have a hard time with it but what we are given for the second installment is odd. An unlikely group trying to survive the night but also with a moral lesson at the end? A message beyond The Purge being pretty evil all around so what other lesson do we need? The acting is fair if not over the top at points. Overall just kind of a boring film.

⭐⭐

(Trigger Warning Attempted Rape)

It is the 6th annual Purge and there is finally a resistance against all the rich people who just buy poor people to slaughter. Surprised it took so long but also looking around at the political state of the USA I’m not surprised at anything. What fucking idiots travel the day of The Purge? The same idiots who want to die, okay. Seriously, did the couple even have an end destination or were they just driving around downtown? Idiots. I wouldn’t leave my home the day of The Purge, are you joking me? I guess we are supposed to feel bad for the couple but mostly I just feel like they deserve whatever they get.

The mother-daughter duo got lifted from their secured home for a private purge which is so beyond fucked up and SHOULD BE ILLEGAL but, ya know, PURGE. We meet Soldier Boy who is out to kill somebody but it is very obvious he is a good guy who got wronged somehow we just don’t know how yet (but we know it is bad) and he saves the girls and the couple. Now everyone is together, the movie can actually start. We have a mini firefight in the streets after Boring Husband gets stuck in a trap that the streets seem designed specifically to accommodate (???) which was not talked about at all but I just cannot seem to get over. 

Oh ho ho, the way they look at Hot Soldier Boy when he chokes out the tweaker. Like, “Oh my, he is a dangerous killer!” who keeps saving your lives so be grateful and appreciative and tell him he is handsome and stop giving him a hard time. Honestly, these people are so ungrateful! Also, tell me why the mama looks jealous that her kid gets a bulletproof vest and she doesn’t? (Ungrateful) THE PURGE formula seems to be killing off one male character at the very end of the movie right before the group gets saved. Which they do, by the Anarchists which is pretty cool of them honestly. Watching this in 2024, 10 years later and we still haven’t learned a doG dang thing from The Purge movies. They kept making new ones to try and teach us a lesson but nope. 

The movie is alright, they make the main dude do everything and then don’t want him to kill the guy who drunk drove and killed his son and I’m not entirely sure why he has to not want to do that. I get it is a good thing to not be a killer and what not but he had already killed so many people over the course of the movie to save them, what was one more? And why couldn’t he be an anti-hero like The Punisher? But it ends kinda happily if he survives the bullet wounds. (Though I still think the daughter should have gotten out of the car and shot the guy who shot him but whatever I’m not Michael Bay)

‘Episode 2 of Criminal Minds: Evolution ends with a major reveal. Viewers learn that Elias Voit (Zach Gilford), an operations analyst for a global cyber-security firm who trained a team of serial killers during COVID-19 lockdown, is married! But he’s not married to just anyone. Elias’ wife Bridget is played by Gilford’s IRL wife, Kiele Sanchez...

...Gilford recalled that the Criminal Minds: Evolution team kept him in the dark because they “didn’t want to put any pressure” on the family. “They weren’t quite sure how fleshed out the character was gonna be. And when I signed on, they were like, ‘Maybe we can convince Kiele to do it since Zach’s already doing it?'” Gilford explained. “They fleshed her character out more… I think since they were able to get her, they’ve made that character much more prominent.”...’

"LOST"'s Morality Play

Even after seventeen years, the "LOST" Season Three episode, (3.14) "Exposé", still remains one of my all time favorites from the series. I thought Nikki Fernandez and Paulo's arc in the episode was such a damn good story. And very original.

I think someone had labeled Nikki and Paulo's arc as a "morality play". I guess it was, in a way. The episode reminded me of an old 1940s British melodrama movie I had seen in which two lovers were involved in the deaths of the woman's husband and father-in-law. Both lovers eventually betrayed each other and ended up dead by the last reel.

Ok, CME 17x03 I am ready for you!!

Spoilers below, if you care.

- Emily ordering Luke not to tell JJ about the deepfake porn site IM YELLING. when JJ finds out they are gonna have WORDS

- just remembered when JJ says "we're boned" in ep2 and it made me giggle

- ok so I've said it before and I'll probably say it 157 more times, but Jennifer Jareau this season is FINE AS FUCK. I can't pinpoint what it is that's different but she is MESMERIZING. aj cook my god. I don't care what this alleged jemily moment might be, I'm sure it will make me feel some type of way bc both Paget and AJ are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

- wow ok I thought it would be a big deal but she already knew (...sort of? sounds like it's worse than they assume). "Emily using discretion is not lying, it's leadership" I do enjoy that she's expressing full faith in Emily. Does this also sound like a line she's used for herself? Or that she heard from someone in the course of her sometimes clandestine career?

- so the last couple months I've been watching station 19 and when kiele sanchez showed up as a firefighter sub in season 6, I couldn't remember what I knew her from at first, only "hot mom of some sort". lmao when I finally remembered it was from CME

- BRIAN GARRITY!!!!! 😂

- "that sounds...like a book" I want more of Emily reacting to him forever

- is it just me or does the "regular" case plot drag? like, it's taking me out of the flow of the (more interesting) voit/gold star stuff.

- I take it back, it didn't drag for long

- I guess I just have to make peace with the fact that motherhood is a core part of jj's identity that they simply will not shut up about. and like, okay! it is a very very important part of who she is! why does it bother me that they bring this up so consistently all the time?

- whoa whoa whoa. this scene with Luke dropping the bomb on JJ in the kitchen nook. here's the other shoe, or one of the shoes. but... I'm not sure if I like how this was shot. it feels weird to not be able to see her face very well. the shock and discomfort is palpable (good job I Guess!).

- I am enjoying Tyler more this season

- zomg Emily drinking wine at her desk??!. the way she says "Brian" lmao. reminiscent of her "ma'am" moment with Strauss

- oh no JJ. Oh noooo baby, no! 😭 facing this all by her lonesome

- Prentiss to the rescue in that baller long coat. oh shit. Uh oh. A setup!!! And I bet she's gonna get dinged for the alcohol too. WTF! Fuckin' Brian!

Hey I'm glad CME is back I needed a little fun.
