  It was no secret Dax worked at Sophisticakes Bakery as well as his field experience training for the EMS. New York was not a cheap city to live in and since he was only a trainee, he wasn’t exactly paid the big bucks; especially since half his hours went to the volunteer programme. And even when he was brought on, he had a feeling he would stick around the bakery because he liked it there. It wouldn’t be a forever thing, he knew that but he would stick around for a while yet. Plus,it was a good place to meet up with friends for a coffee and a sweet treat. It was the place Dax recommended the most when he needed to meet up with friends or anyone at all really. He loved the atmosphere there and the people were so friendly; which was probably why he fit in so well there. Dax actually enjoyed spending his time there and felt sort of bad in that way because he was being paid to be there. Even if he didn’t work there, he would have been so frequent a customer, everyone would have known his name and they might have even named a pastry after him!
But he did work there and was actually almost done his shirt, which was why he’d told a friend to come b. He and Gennie didn’t hang out often. He worked two jobs and went to school and Gennie had her child to think about so there wasn’t always a good time but he had told her there would always be a treat for her child as long as he was there. They all did it and Felix never seemed to mind, or he didn’t show his annoyance at least. And until he did, Dax would keep doing what he did. Smiling, Dakota helped several customers pick out treats to be boxed up, pointing out his favourites when they were undecided. For him Sophisticakes was an easy place to work at. It was just so much fun for Dax.
He was a hyperactive and overly flamboyant type of person. He couldn’t really stand still. He would dance around the bakery while he cleaned, sometimes to the music, sometimes to the song playing in his head. Felix laughed at him whenever the owner caught Dax dancing about. He was just having fun and as long as the EMS trainee got his work done, who was he harming? He was heading into the back to restock some of the cupcakes that had dwindled down in the display when the bell on the door chimed. “I’ll be right with you!” He called from the other side of the swinging door. Quickly scanning, Dax grabbed the tray he’d been looking for and scooted back out to the front. “Hey, welcome to Sophisticakes! Give me two seconds and I’ll be happy to get you whatever your sweet tooth wants.” He said with a chuckle, quickly replacing the display. He was excellent at multitasking and had one of the boxes already opened and ready to be filled as he popped his head back up over the counter.

Gen had left work early due to a parent-teacher conference she had with Ella's teacher in the afternoon. It was just to report back on Ella and her learning abilities. Gen was actually looking forward to this conference. She wanted to know exactly where her little girl was in reading, writing, and math. She wanted to know if there was anything she could be doing to help Ella out or to help push her forward in her learning. When Tyler and Genevieve had talked about how they were going to raise their little family, they both agreed that they wanted education to be a top priority in their household, and even though their family situation had changed when Ella was born, Gen planned on keeping Tyler's wishes.
So when it was Gen's turn to meet with Ella's teacher, Miss Bennett, she took Ella's hand and walked right into the classroom. They talked for about an hour about Ella and their home situation, about what Genevieve did for a living. Miss Bennett told Genevieve that Ella was excelled in reading and writing, but she was having just a little bit of trouble with her math skills. She also said that it was nothing to be concerned about because it was so new to the young child. Genevieve ended up really liking Ella's teacher, and she loved how comfortable Ella seemed to be around her. Ella had even drawn the teacher a picture while she waited for her mom to be done talking to the teacher. Miss Bennett had acted as if it were gold Ella was giving her.
After they said their goodbyes, the two walked to a local bakery that Gen's friend worked at. He told her to stop by anytime, and Gen thought Ella deserved a treat for being such a good kid. Plus, she missed Dax. It had been a while since she had last seen him since he was a busy college kid and she was a working mom. Gen thought of Dax as a son or younger brother, so it was a little upsetting to her to not see him that often. She opened the door for Ella, walking inside after her little one. When she heard Dax's voice, she smiled, picking Ella up to look at the variety of goodies inside the display cases.
"Take your time, Dax."
She called out as Ella pointed to one of the cupcakes.

Dax loved working at the bakery. It filled his free time with something fun and he got paid to act like an idiot for the customers. For a guy who had people questioning his sexuality every single day of the week because of his flamboyant nature, it was heaven on Earth. He could dance around, entertain the customers whilst still getting his assigned chores done. He flitted about from area to area, cleaning up the tables, refreshing the cabinets and the showcases, hopping into the back to help out with decorating and baking when they needed an extra pair of hands. Dax was all over the place but he always managed to do what needed to be done. And considering how full his plate was, it was a miracle he even had the energy to do anything at all except sleep!
When he was finished his shift, he had to run home because Scout wasn’t in and he’d promised to have dinner with her and marathon some show she’d been practically dying to see and he happened to have the box set of. His siblings were always giving him DVD box sets and movies and things like that, as if he really had the time to watch them. Dax was positive his siblings thought he spent all his time in front of the TV binge watching crap television and eating ramen. Nevermind the small detail that he didn’t usually have the time to binge watch TV or that he wasn’t all that fond of microwave ramen noodles; especially when he lived above a Chinese restaurant!
“Hey Gen! Ella!” He said, relaxing and leaning against the counter for a second. There really wasn’t anyone there that was waiting to be served. He’d taken care of everyone in there, having even gone round already to offer refills on coffee for the two elderly women by the window in the corner. They were regulars and they’d been there for ages. It was the least they could do since they spent a small fortune in treats whilst they were there. “And what yummy treat has caught your eye, Miss Ella?” He asked, his attention on the little girl. He didn’t see Gen or her daughter nearly often enough with how busy he was. They’d met enough times at crime scenes to have gotten to know each other, bonding over what they saw in the day to day. It helped, too that Gen worked at his father’s precinct and they ran into each other enough times there when he was visiting his old man at work.

Gen herself wasn't extremely into sweets, though she did love having a piece of chocolate here and there. Gen personally liked having salty food more than sweet food, but Ella was the opposite. Ella could probably eat an entire birthday cake if Gen let her. Of course, Gen wouldn't let her. That would be way too much sweet stuff for a child of Ella's size or really anyone's size. But that didn't mean Gen didn't let her little one indulge her sweet tooth every now and again, especially since Dax worked at a bakery.
"I don't know how you do this job, Dax."
Gen told him. Gen wasn't much of a people person. If someone was rude to her, she would be rude back. She couldn't fake a smile, and her default face was resting bitch face. Gen was nice enough, but she didn't have what it took to be nice to complete assholes. That was probably why being an officer was such a good job for her. She could be rude if she needed to, to the criminals, but she could also be kind and help those who needed her help. When Dax spoke to Ella, Ella instantly pointed at a strawberry cupcake with white frosting that was being displayed.
"I want that one, Dax."
She told him, a big grin on her face. Gen reached into her purse, pulling out a twenty dollar bill, handing it to Dax.
"Can I have a black coffee?"
She asked him. Gen was needing the help of caffeine to get her through the rest of the night. Her day had started early this morning, and it wouldn't end until late this evening. She had housework that needed to be done, plus Ella needed help with homework and a bath and dinner, which was being spoiled by sweets first.

Dax couldn’t wait to become a full fledged EMS but until then, he was happy as punch to be where he was. He had great friends at Sophisticakes Bakery and he had a lot of fun working in the shop. There was never a dull moment, even on the dreariest of days. It was a great little, welcoming place. It was a place to bring friends for some baked goods, some strong coffee and a few good laughs through a couple hours. Dax knew if he qualified tomorrow to become an EMS, he would still be at the shop constantly because he loved the atmosphere of the place. People knew to find him there when they couldn’t reach him otherwise. If he was in class or at home, he answered his phone, if he was in the back of the ambulance, getting the hands on training his senior year required, he sent a mass text to those who mattered, letting them know not to bother, he couldn’t answer. But when he was at the bakery, he was allowed to answer his phone if he wasn’t busy with someone, it was just that normally, he forgot he had it on him and unintentionally ignored the calls and text messages.
But it was all really easy for him. He was such a people person that if he wasn’t training to be a paramedic, he could have easily stayed at the bakery until Felix finally kicked him out. “I love it.” He said easily, because it was true. The place was full of sweets and full of laughter and cheer. What was there to hate about it, really? He didn’t even mind the clean up at the end of the night! And that was generally the worst part of it! “Are you sure you want the strawberry vanilla one? Are you super, duper positive?” He asked, teasing the young girl even as he reached behind him blindly for the plates they kept for in shop customers. He set the big cupcake on the plate and set it on the counter next to the cash before pouring Gen a cup of their signature strong blend. “One super amazing, really extra yummy cupcake and one coffee, black.” He said, brushing away the notes Gen produced. “Don’t worry about it.” He said. “Go, have a seat.” He added before heading into the back to inform Felix of his actions and to let him know he was taking five minutes to talk to Gen before getting back to work. He was all caught up on his work, everything was wiped down and there was no one waiting to be served at the counter so his boss waved him off, too busy decorating a wedding cake to care about much else. Dax didn’t hand out comped things often so when he did, Felix usually let it slide. He took the seat opposite Gen when he returned and smiled. "So what have you two been up to?" He asked.
