Room 324, Saturday Morning

Kate had... kind of intended to spend the night alone. That had been the original plan, at least, before a miniature freakout and being a fabulous fake and having to stand the sight of Caroline and ugh. Yet another plan of Kate's that had not gone quite as she'd originally thought it would.

She'd figure out how she felt about that later, maybe. Because right now she was still asleep, clinging to Nathan with an arm and a leg over him, pressed close against him despite the blankets spread over them. That was just her thing, minor neediness slipping out when she wasn't conscious enough to control it. It was a lot like another morning a month or so ago, probably, except they were presently decidedly more lacking in clothes and knew each other better in whole new ways.

And Fandom was being Fandom again, but that was not for them to know yet. They'd find out soon enough.

[ooc: Just for that one guy, and for that other smaller guy who'll cause a whole lot of emo despite being adorbs, and then probably that third guy with some more emo.]

Nathan was praying that Dorian didn't know him. Praying hard. He smiled at the little kid though and gave him a wave and hoped like hell that Dorian didn't know him.

"Nope!" Dorian said, waving back. "No clue! I know who you are though! You're my mum! Hi!"

Nathan didn't have to be told twice. He gave them each a nod, gathered up the rest of his clothes and fled the room, perfectly happy to let Kate deal with this on her own.

Dorian bounced a little in her arms. "Can we play now? Can we can we can we?"

"'Kay," Dorian said, sitting down and swinging his legs. "What questions? I got answers!"

"I have a lot of names." He was kind of proud of all those names. "Dorian Silas Mitchell Owens! It's loooong, isn't it? Longest name ever!"

"Nope," he said, oblivious to the reaction his name had caused. "Your room was closer so I stopped here first. Dad's not here?"

[identity profile] puddingordeath.livejournal.com 2011-02-12 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why's he not here?" Dorian asked, fixing her with a questioning look. "He doesn't stay here wif you like a daddy's supposed ta?"

[identity profile] puddingordeath.livejournal.com 2011-02-12 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Does he come back?" Dorian asked, biting his finger nervously. "He doesn't go off to get hurt, right? Sometimes that happens and I'm sad!"

[identity profile] puddingordeath.livejournal.com 2011-02-12 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Make him come back?" Dorian asked her quietly, tightening his grip on her hand. "Please? I miss him! And you do too! Please?"

Up a few floors, Bod's phone started ringing. When he saw the name staring at him, he considering just ignoring it but something made him answer it.

"Yes?" he asked, tone clipped.

Bod didn't immediately reply, too busy taking that in and wondering what to do with it. Eventually, there was only one thing to do.

"Yes. I'll be there shortly," he said and hung up the phone. He rubbed his face, his eyes and then headed down a few floors so his heart could broken again, he guessed.

It didn't take Bod long to arrive and when he did, he looked a little skittish when he appeared in the door. He didn't know if he wanted to come in and deal with this or come in and meet the kid and then leave or just...something.

He didn't say anything though and his eyes weren't on Kate either. They were on the child in the room.

[identity profile] puddingordeath.livejournal.com 2011-02-12 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
And that child was going to bounce right off the bed upon seeing him, and run to him, because a daddy was a joyous thing and deserved to have his legs hugged.

"Daddy! Hi hi hi! Hullo! I missed you!"

Meanwhile, in the background, Kate straightened up and... stood there by her bed, awkwardly. Yes.

At some point she was finally going to realize she wasn't wearing her own shirt.

"Hullo there," he said, leaning down to scoop the child up and smiling despite himself. He could definitely see the resemble even if that just made his heart lurch painfully in his chest.

"I've missed you too," he said, since it seemed like the thing that would make him feel better. "I apologize for not being here when you arrived. That wasn't very nice of me."

He still didn't look at Kate. Not yet.

"I'm definitely a little fuzzy," Bod said, nodding and bouncing Dorian around in his arms a little. He hadn't had a child last time so this was all completely new to him. He was trying though.

And he made sure to hold the boy gently, keep Dorian close to his own body so he'd know he was protected and wanted. He did remember that from his own childhood.

"I haven't just woken up but it's been a long few months for daddy so a reminder would be very polite," Bod told him, nodding. "What's your name?"
