First Floor Garage, Sunday Morning

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam had slept pretty well, but now had a burning desire to be greasy, which she was chalking up to a reaction to formalwear and heels. Since the other option--heading over to the gun range--didn't appeal right now, she was back with the swoop bike and trying to tweak the settings on the steering and brakes. They were still a little too sensitive for her, which shouldn't be a huge surprise, since they originally came from Anakin.

Within minutes, she was filthy, wearing a pair of old jeans and a sweatshirt, with a fresh pot full of coffee and doughnuts on the table, singing along to the radio.

"Am too!" Aiden bounced over and attached himself to Jack's side. "Aren't I, Dad?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack had gone past bemused, confused, and baffled into acceptance. He crouched down, one arm around each kid. "I bet you're really good at keeping track," he said to Aiden, then turned to Jake. "But I bet you're really good at," hmm, "avoiding your brother. So you weren't lost, and Aiden didn't lose you. You were both just temporarily misplaced. Right?"

[harknesshorde.livejournal.com]

"But not temp'rally displaced, 'cause that's different," he agreed.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack wasn't so sure of that, but he laughed and hugged Jake. "But not temporally displaced, no," he agreed, taking a good, long look at him, a bit stunned by how much he looked like Sam, and like him. He glanced over at Sam while he asked Jake, "Have you been behaving?"

[harknesshorde.livejournal.com]

"Of course I have, Daddy," Jake said, looking innocently up at his father while Sam shook her head at Jack and mouthed 'no.'

[harknesshorde.livejournal.com]

"Sam Sam Sam Sam," Aiden, looking over at her. "I've been good! I closed my eyes while Daddy and Daddy changed!"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"That's, um, that's great, Aiden," Sam tried not to smirk at Cedric and Jack, knowing that only through the grace of timing did she escape a similar fate, "I'm very proud of you."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Cedric blushed. A lot. "Uh. It was Jack's fault."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack looked smug as he stood up, one hand resting on Jake's head. "I did get you pants," he pointed out, before adding, a touch too gleefully, "And he's your son, too."

"Is Sam building another timeship?" Aiden asked, looking around the garage.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I built a timeship?" Sam asked before she could stop herself.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Well done, Sam," Cedric said before he could stop himself.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack was kind of busy staring, not really surprised, but still a bit shocked. "You built our timeship? Dam-- uh, darn! Way to go, Sam!"

[harknesshorde.livejournal.com]

"I want cake," Aiden randomly declared. "I miss breakfast."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I have doughnuts," Sam told him, "if your dads say it's okay."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"It's okay with me," Jack said, shrugging as he looked over at Cedric. "If it's okay with you. We should probably get some proper food into them at some point, though." He blinked. "And figure out where they're going to sleep."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"It's fine with me," Cedric said. "On both counts. The sleeping arrangements should probably be discussed, yes."

[harknesshorde.livejournal.com]

"I want to sleep in a bed," Jake piped up, "and macaroni and cheese, but not if Mommy makes it."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Laughing, Jack glanced at Sam. "Some things don't change. I've only got a hammock, so maybe you could stay with your mom?" he suggested to Jake. "Aiden? How do you feel about sleeping in a hammock?"

[harknesshorde.livejournal.com]

"With a pillow?" Aiden asked hopefully. "A fluffy one?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"With a fluffy pillow and a blanket, and I can make macaroni and cheese." Jack was momentarily weirded out that he was the domestic one, but whatever. He was just being practical.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Cedric nodded. "It's a comfortable hammock, I promise."

He looked back at Jack. "Just...call me if you need help?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I guess you probably shouldn't stay as well," he said, making it sort of a question as he looked over at Aiden, who was watching them.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Cedric had no idea. "I...think I have magic stuff tonight. Um."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Okay. Probably for the best. So, I'll take Aiden, Sam can take Jake," he grinned, "and if we're lucky, the dorm will still be standing in the morning."
