"Did you guys see the paper?" Blair asked with a smile as she ran into the house, looking at Ray and Allison at the table.

"We were just talking about it." Ray said with a smile as Blair squealed in excitement, chunking the paper in the air as Ray laughed while hugging her as Blair cheered.

"Bought the last three copies this morning at Coleman's." Allison said as she walked toward Blair who grinned.

"I had no doubt in my mind." Blair said with a smile as she put her arms around Allison's shoulders, her ring in view now as the two peaked lips. After the few years here Blair finally spoke on her feeling, taking Allison time but eventually accepting it and the two had a un-official wedding with cheap rings and a few wedding pictures that were sure to keep out of few of the police.

"Did you get it?" Brenn asked as she ran into the kitchen, her height shooting up a few inches over the years as she looked at her sister hopefully.

"Why yes, I had a very safe and fun trip all day long just to get you the only Spider Man comic book I could get my hands on." Blair said sarcastically as she pulled the comic from her purse as Brenn squealed and hugged Blair tightly.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" the small girl cheered as she took it to her room with the small book in hands.

"Change is coming, lovely ladies. I can't feel it!" Ray said as he hugged the two woman before he snapped his fingers.

"Speaking of which..." Ray said as he headed toward his bag, pulling a framed photo out.

"A little pre-anniversary gift for my favorite married couple." Ray gushed as he held out the photo, the framed picture of Allison and Blair in homemade wedding dresses Ray snapped making the two smile.

"Woah, my eyebrows." Blair groaned as Allison smacked her arm.

"I love it, thank you Ray." Allison said as she looked to the man who nodded his head.

"I'll be on my way to freshen up." he said with a tip of his hat, heading off down the hall as Blair grinned at Allison.

"I wish we could have gotten married officially." Allison said as she looked down at her as Blair shook her head.

"A piece of paper would never make make us married. Allison, we've been married ever since Diego drug me to your fathers funeral and I ran into you in the hallway." Blair said as Allison laughed at her words, nodding slightly as she smiled down at her.

"You miss him?" she asked curiously as Blair frowned and nodded.

"Yeah.... I miss all of them." she answered honestly as Allison put her arms around Blair's shoulders, carful not to weigh her small body down.

"Me too." Allison answered as Blair grinned for a second.

"Imagine what Klaus would say." Blair said, nodding between the two of them as Allisons angelic laugh echoed through the four walls.

"He'd say... why was it he called us?" Allison asked, not being able to fully remember.

"Blarison." Blair said as the two laugh and swayed slightly as they came down from their laugher.

"I love you." Allison said as she looked at the woman infront of her as Blair grinned.

"I love you too." she answered as Allison leaned down to kiss her once again.

"All right, quiet down, now, everybody!  Quiet down! Thank you!" Ray said to the group of black men and women in the hair salon Allison worked out. Blair and Brenn usually stayed around the salon for their meetings due to it not being safe out in there for them either.

"All right, now, look, I can appreciate that everyone has concerns about this. And the truth is, we can go back and forth on it all night. But we have to act. And the time is now-" Ray began around to each and everyone person in the salon, being cut off.

"Where we gonna do it?" a woman questioned, seated close to Blair and Allison who were joined at hands, Brenn sitting between the two as she payed close attention after realizing she'd have to with the world they lived in right now.

"Stadtler's on Commerce." Allison announced ad the group all began to murmur.

"Look, look, look....if we start the sit-in on Sunday, which is five days before the presidents visit, we should attract national media attention." Allison said as she tried to reason, walking in the middle of the circle to look at everyone.

"No, we're sure to get media attention, there's no way we wouldn't." Blair spoke knowingly as her wife nodded at her.

"But it has to be the right kind of attention." a man spoke as he walked forward.

"I agree." Ray nodded his head.

"Look, there's no room for error here. There is no room for images on the TV of violence, aggressiveness, or even disrespect- Ray began before Brenn was the only to speak now.

"Not they they desired respect." she commented as Blair tried to hold back her smile, putting a arm around the girl as Allison shook her head with a amused look on her face.

"No matter what they do to us, we have one rule: honor and dignity at all times." Ray said to the group with a nod as Allison walked forward some.

"Now, look, these details cannot leave this room until we have finalized our plan." Allison added in before a loud knock was on the door. Blair stood up quickly as she guarded Brenn, Allison holding a arm out to keep her back for a second.

"What should I do?" the nice woman who owned the salon asked, worry in her voice.

"I'll handed it." Allison said as she hurried to the door.

"Allison-" Blair began before her wife had already opened the door, looking at the white man.

"Sorry.... we only cut woman's hair here. Black women's hair." Allison said kindly to the man, trying to keep the peace as Blair watched intensely, not liking the look on the mans face.

"Funny how that your husbands inside." he said back. It was something many people did, mistake Ray as Allison and Blair's husband for how the man lived with the two, over time it just got tiring to correct people and then have them question why they both had rings.

"Mr.Mason, can I help you?" Ray asked as he put a hand on Allison shoulder while approaching the door.

"Mind telling me what you're doing here after hours?" the man asked as Blair glared, taking a step closer.

"Is it a crime to be in a salon after hours? Especially when our friend owns it?" Blair asked, crossing her arms over the blouse as she approached.

"Now are you doing around a bunch of black folk? Teaching them a little spanish?" he asked with a smirk as Blair held back from attacking him, but that was better then the slur that had been used all the many times around her over the past few years.

"Well, this is my roommates place of employment and some nights we use it as a community gathering spot." Ray spoke calm to the man, much calmer then Blair could ever.

"Gathering? For what?" the white man asked with a scoff.

"Do you mind telling me why that's any of your concern?" Blair spoke as her teeth grinded together, taking another step forward as Allison grabbed her forearm.

"I own the building across the way, a few others nearby. I like things quiet on my street." he said with a dramatic sniff of the air, a shrug as Blair glared, feeling Allison's hand tighten on her arm.

"But you don't own this building, now do you?" Allison asked with a sweet smile, her fake attitude almost making Blair grin.

"Not yet." the man said with a click of his tongue.

"Well then, i'm gonna ask you to step off the property." Ray said softly with a nod of his head.

"Please." Blair added in with a glare, her voice so fake and forced she made sure he realized she wasn't asking.

"Have a good night." Ray said as he shut the door, the man putting his foot in the way in time as Blair sucked in a breath, looking behind her and realizing there was to many people to use her power right now.

"Did you just deliberately shut this door on my foot, boy?" he asked Ray in disbelief, pushing the door open even more.

"That's assault." the man said as he slammed the salon door open quickly, knocking Ray back slightly. Allison grabbed the mans fist before he could punch Ray, twisting his arm backwards as she kicked him out the door. Blair's eyes widened as a grin formed on her face, watching the man stumble.

"Guess you literally kicked him out the door." Blair made the joke as Allison gave her a look making her shut her mouth quickly.

"I hope that felt good." Mason said embarrassed as he picked up his hat.

"You have no idea." Allison answered as she took a deep breath.
