A Room at the Arms Hotel, Saturday Morning

Dorian Owens was a pretty resourceful and brave little boy. So, when he couldn't locate his parents at the big building he'd found them last time, and he heard someone mention an awful lot of people would be at the hotel this morning, he set on his way across town

Lots of bright persuasive smiles, a rickshaw ride, and a helpful hotel employee later he found himself at a door behind which he was supposed to find his parents. So, he knocked. Enthusiastically.

Inside the room, in bed, it made Kate frown lightly. "Did you order room service breakfast or something?" she mumbled, still half asleep.

"Have you felt me leave the bed?" Bod mumbled back, snuggling up against her. "I didn't order room service. It's probably just a wrong room."

That...wasn't right at all. Bod would soon find out.

"Make it go awaaay," Kate whined, pressing her eyes tighter shut. "God, why do people have to get the wrong room, can't they read numbers?"

She was pretty protective of this morning, okay?

It didn't take long for Dorian to get to where he was going. His longs were longer and he was taller (not really) and he was a big boy. So, he found the room (don't ask how) and started knocking.

"Mum!" And that was followed by a knock. "Dad!" And another knock. "Lemme iiiiiiiiin!"

Kate opened her eyes at the voice.

Then she blinked a couple of times.

"Is that –– ?"

And then she was scrambling out of bed for some clothes because she was pretty sure she knew who that was.

Bod was a little slower to move but he did start moving once she'd gotten out of bed. He sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"That sounds like Dorian," he said, sounding pleased about that. "He's back."

"Yes!" Kate enthused, pulling a shirt over her head. It was his. Apparently that was just tradition now, her not looking at what she was putting on when there was a kid banging on her door. But at least this time around it was his and not Nathan's.

No one was going to hurt this time around.

She called out towards the door, "Just a sec, kid!"

Dorian was waiting patiently...while still knocking on the door with both of his little hands. It was like making music!

Bod was wrapping the blanket around himself since Kate had his shirt but he'd wrangled himself into his pants at least.

"A sec's overrrrrrrrrr!" Dorian told her because he was smart!

Kate managed pants too. It was kind of amazing.

And then Dorian could stop being patient because she made her way to the door and opened it with a grin at him. "Okay you can stop waiting now."

"Mum!" Dorian said exuberantly, throwing himself around her legs and hugging them. "Hi Mum! Hi hi hi! S'good to see you again! Hi!"

Kate laughed, reaching down to ruffle his hair. "Hi to you too, sweetheart," she said. "But I think you've seen me pretty recently, haven't you? In a way."

"Yeah!" He nodded and looked up at her. "But, I 'member this place from last year. And s'always good to see you! Hi Mum!"

He hugged her again and then peered up at her.

"Daddy here?"

"He is," Kate nodded, smiling, and inclined her head back towards the room itself. "Just back there. Would you like to see him?"

"Yes, please!"

Bod was already moving towards the door, wrapped in the blanket and smiling as well.

"And then we can have breffast!"

Still Kate's child, yes.

Oh, definitely. Kate snickered at his breakfast-related enthusiasm and glanced back at Bod.

"Room service breakfast?"

Dorian had run into Bod's arms and Bod was scooping him up and tossing him in the air a few times before answering Kate's question.

"I think so," he said, nodding and cradling Dorian close to his chest now. "There should probably be sweets involved."

"Doughnuts!" Dorian crowed. "Cake doughnuts!"

"God, you are going to grow up so fat," Kate said, laughing, though he'd probably been blessed with her freaky metabolism. She closed the door, then went for the room phone. "I think I'm gonna go for donuts myself."

"With maple syrup!"

Sometimes, he just said things to see if he'd get them. He bounced around in Bod's arms and hugged his tiny arms around his neck.

"You look happier than last time, Daddy!"

Kate smiled a little more softly. "He is," she said, before she went to phone in an order.

She ordered coffee, bacon, donuts, muffins, and yes, maple syrup. Breakfast of champions, really.

"Yay!" Dorian said and put his tiny hands on Bod's cheeks to give him an Eskimo kiss. "Daddy, after breffast, can we play?"

"Of course," Bod said, smiling softly as well.

"It's not nap time till later so yay!"

Kate ended the call and shook her head. "As if you need nap time to randomly fall asleep, Dorian." He was much like her in that respect. "But yeah, we'll definitely play. Definitely."

"At least I didn't fall asleep with a Cheeto in my mouf!" Dorian said, sharing something that he'd promised to keep secret from his mum. Oh well.

Kate raised an eyebrow pretty slowly, at that. "... What?"

"You did that, Mum, but I wasn't apposed to say that," he said and slapped a hand over his mouth. "Dun tell!"

"I did that?"

Man, why didn't that sound less likely to her?

"Wow. What a dumb thing to do."

"You were tired," Dorian whispered, twisting in his dad's arms to reach for her. "I tucked you in!"

And left the Cheeto there.
