Noah and Glen are hanging out for lunch at Gigi's cafe. Glen is laughing, saying, "You? Salad? Since when?" Noah pouts with his chin on his hands, elbows on the table as he looks down at Valerie sleeping in her pram. He answers Glen: "Since I popped the seams on my old Marilyn Manson outfit." Glen replies, "Sucks to be you." Gigi then comes up, carrying their respective lunch orders: a double cheeseburger with a heaping side of fries for Glen and a heaping salad for Noah. She asks Noah, "Why don't you try keto? It worked for my sister." Noah asks her, "Can I eat cheeseburgers on keto?" Gigi goes over to coo at Valerie, now awake, and she tells Noah, "Sure... minus the bun and the fries." Noah sulks and eyes Glen's fries as he sighs and replies, "But the bun and the fires are the best part!" For his part, Glen guards his fries and snarls, "Don't even think about it, Thorsen!" while Gigi is now thoroughly distracted and busy saying "Koochie koochie koo!" to Valerie, who reaches out to Gigi.

That’s right, Glen, guard those fries. Clearly Noah‘s in need of some carb-loading. You just know Adam‘s getting another earful from Gigi about how it’s time to have his own babies after this visit.

January 6, 2023: Gigi’s Baby Crazy

Adam's mother Gigi is sitting at a table with Adam, Noah, and her boyfriend Glen. Gigi is holding baby Valerie and cooing at her: "Aww... look at you! I remember when your big brother was as widdle as you!" Glen smiles and says, "Ya, they're cute when they're that tiny." Noah proudly (and narcisisstically) pipes up, saying, "And she's got great genetics!" Glen grins and replies, "Ya, from Ruth." Noah scowls and growls, while Gigi looks at Adam and asks, "Adam, when are you and Stacey gonna start having wee ones?" Adam winces and stammers, "Um... well... you're too young to be a granny, Ma..."

Way to put Adam on the spot, Gigi.

Adam’s Birthday, Part 3

October 29, 2022August 19, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

Noah is having a beer with his son Adam on the back deck. Noah asks Adam "How's the DJ Adam Bomb thing coming these days?" Adam replies "It sucks." Noah asks "Oh not! Not enough gigs?" Adam says "Too many weddings. If I have to hear one more Taylor Swift song, I'll go postal." Noah chuckles and says "Heh... Try having to sing Mariah Carey covers with all the falsetto bits." He adds "I did band a lot of bridesmaids, though, which was almost worth having to sing 'Dreamlover' at every reception." (And we see a few of Noah's memories of bridesmaids he'd slept with.) Adam retorts "And then you'd come home reeking of Vanilla Fields, Exclamation, and White Shoulders, and then Ma would throw frying pans at you." (And we see Adam remembering seeing his mom Gigi hucking a pan at Noah, hiding behind a door.) Noah replies, "That's OK. Her aim sucked and I've got good reflexes."

Drunk and horny bridesmaids are both the perks and the occupational hazards of playing in a wedding band.
