Eva nodded, counting off each of her sisters with her fingers. "Aside them are my sisters Avery, Rachel, and Ayaka. Anthony and Avery are the two oldest, then Lucas, Ayaka, Rachel..." she laughed a little. "And I'm the baby." 'And the black sheep' she added mentally.

Aiden whistled. "Must've been hell growing up with them." Well, until Eva joined up with some gang. He found that odd. Both of them had apparently been violent (to a certain extent), and had families that they didn't interact much with. He wondered why he hadn't been closer to Eva before this, even if she HAD been his first kiss.

"Damn right." she laughed. "You'd think it'd make life easier comin' from a rich family." Well, to an extend it was, but not completely. "Everyone held me and my siblings up to a certain standard, one all they could live up to but me." she didn't sound the least bit sad about it, she actually sounded rather happy she didn't live to their fancy high class standards, it was too much work and she just didn't enjoy it.

Aiden grinned. "Don't seem to broken up over it to me. Got something against high-society?" Valid question, he figured, especially with everything that happened in the city's upper-class. It seemed that almost everyone had a bone to pick with the rich and/or famous.

Eva raised a brow and gave him an odd look. "Look at me Hun, do I seem like the type to wear fancy clothes and be all proper?" she grinned. "I just didn't want the life, it was too much for me to handle." Kinda why she was never too upset about getting kick out, it was probably the best thing her mother had ever done for her as pitiful as it sounded.

The giant thought for a moment, trying to imagine Eva in some frilly high-class-esque dress. He couldn't stop the rush of snickers that followed. "Okay, okay, fair 'nuff."

Eva laughed slightly at Aiden's response. "See? Not my thing." about that time the waiter had come back with two glasses of water. He sat them down in front of the two.
"Do you two know what ya wanna eat?" he asked, pulling out a small notebook.
Eva nodded and looked back at her menu for a second. "I'll have the barbecue wings." The waiter wrote something on his note pad real quick and turned to Aiden for his order.

"Double bacon cheeseburger." He requested, passing over his menu. Ah, meat, just what his stomach was kicking the rest of his insides around to get. Besides, the ribs were honestly just too expensive. So was getting a side dish, so he just waved off the server if he asked if that was all. The waiter seemed to understand and bustled off to retrieve their food.

Eva turned back to Aiden when the waiter left, taking a drink out of her glass. Her face sort of scrunch up a bit, she wasn't use to something without flavor!
She put the glass back down and "So what do you think we should start gettin' sorted out first?" she asked him, referring to the baby. She was trying to think of places she could get a job at, but she just couldn't see herself working at all.

Aiden leaned back in his seat and folded his arms, looking down at his glass of water in thought. "Money and a place to live, probably..." And to swing that, they'd both probably have to get jobs... maybe he could be a boxer, though he immediately kicked that idea through a wall. Talk about ridiculous, how the hell would that even happen? Anyone who came into this city apparently couldn't get out (he supposed his parents had been too old and any siblings he might have had would have been too young) so how could it possibly work?
Underground fighting on the other hand... that was a definite possibility... He'd put more energy into finding out about those places soon enough, though he should get an ACTUAL job too. No point in causing suspicion with anyone... "If we work at it, we should be able to at least rent an apartment..." Hopefully more than that, after a while. He wasn't sure what made him so firm about wanting to have an actual house, maybe it was the fact that landlords were notoriously difficult to deal with...

Eva nodded in agreement. She was still trying to figure out what she could do for a job. Maybe she could talk to Satoru about one? She wasn't too sure though, a pregnant woman working around guns didn't sound too appealing at the moment. Oh well, she'd have to find something. "Yeah, I can see about pulling some strings with my siblings until we're able to get decent jobs." it was a long shot, but it might work, for a little while at least.

"I'd feel worse about that, but this IS the family that kicked you out." He said, taking a sip of his water. He'd check around town for any sort of job openings, luckily there was the clan salary, but their issue would continue after they hit 35... maybe once he got out he could work for the government? Not exactly his style, but maybe more effective in the long run.

Eva shrugged and took a drink of the water. "It's mainly my mother and Avery that hate my guts to be honest, but I guess ya got a point." She told him, still trying to think of different jobs there could be that someone with such a short fuse like her could do. Working with Satoru wouldn't be too hard since she knew him and all. She'd probably go talk to him about it later.
While the parents-to-be were talking, a blond woman(maybe in her mid twenties) walked into the Wok. Her hair was perfectly straight and reached to her elbows, and she was wearing a clean white dress shirt with a black pencil skirt, along with some black heels and and expensive looking purse. It was Rachel Shimazaki, Itonami's youngest(and probably most successful) lawyer. She had just finished a meeting with a new client, and, well, she was starving.
Rachel was brought to a small table next to a window with a good view. "Tea, please, with a lemon if you can." she requested politely. After the waiter went on his way, the young lawyer took a look at the people around her. It was weird, but the second youngest of the Shimazakis loved to people watch. Her green eyes paused when she saw a couple sitting nearby. They looked slightly younger than her, and the girl, though her gorgeous golden hair was chopped off now, looked exactly like her baby sister.
"Oh my goodness!" gasped Rachel, making Eva jump in her seat and look at where the voice was coming from. "Evangeline? It's been so long!"
Eva frowned and tried hiding her face. Of all her sisters to run into... it just had to be Little Princess Rachel...

Aiden glanced over to the source of the voice, a woman who looked rather similar to Eva. Considering she was FAR too young to be Eva's mother, he suspected it was one of the blond's sisters. Of course, this left the question of 'which one?' "Uh... Eva?" He prompted, eyes moving back to his.. fiance (he'd use that for now since he was fairly sure that marriage was imminent no matter how they tried to avoid it), hoping she would get the 'who the hell is this' question from his tone alone.

Rachel stood from her seat and made her way to her sister. "Evangeline! It's sooo good to see you again~!" There was a huge smile on her face, and it made Eva try to hide herself even more(though she knew it was pointless at this point).
After sighing, the ex gangster sat up a little better. "Hey Rachel..." she muttered, answering Aiden's unspoken question. "What's the princess of the family doin' here?"
Rachel let out a laugh. "Oh, you still crack me up, silly!" she giggled, patting Eva's shoulder. The younger blond resisted the urge to push her away as she continued talking. "And what have you done to your hair? It use to be so long and beautiful, how could you just chop it off like that?" Eva wasn't given enough time to talk before Rachel looked at Aiden and started talking again. "Oh my, is this your boyfriend? Pleasure to meet you Sir, I'm Rachel Shimazaki, Evangeline's big sister, and your name would be?" she held her hand out to him for a handshake, a habit from work you could say.
