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.

"Well, we *could*," Lou said, "But watching you freak out is lots of fun."

Eddie couldn't help but giggle at that. "It really is."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam wondered why her older self couldn't raise one nice, easygoing child. "I'm not freaking out." Much.

[minor-k.livejournal.com]

"You are!" Lou protested. "You're doing that thing with the corner of your eyes. And then you pretend you're not, and that we're not gonna get shot at by Oranians, but we do."

Kawalsky walked in, looking for Sam. "Hey Sam, have you seen what's going on...oh. Guess you have. Who's your new friends?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam made a mental note to ask about the Oranians later. "They won't tell me their names, but they're apparently my son and daughter."

[minor-k.livejournal.com]

"Hey Dad," Eddie said.

Lou punched him in the arm. "Squirming!"

"Ow. Well SORRY."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Wait, what?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Holy Hannah."

[minor-k.livejournal.com]

"I think you broke them," Lou pinched her brother.

"Did not." Eddie glared and rubbed his arm. "Ow! Mom, tell Lou not to pinch. She's got little pincer fingers."

"Tattletale."

"Baby."

"I'm not a baby, you're a baby. Baby."

"Hey!" Charlie said. "Cut it out, both of you." He held a hand up to emphasize his point. "I want names and dates. Out with it."

[minor-k.livejournal.com]

They both quit hitting each other after Lou gave a final little shove. Lou took a deep breath, but Eddie beat her to it.

"I'm telling the story this time! We were in the cargo hold playing like you and Mom told us to and then we got called for dinner, so I pushed the panel to open the door and we came out and it wasn't the mess, it was the park down there. So we looked around and figured out where we were, because Fandom looks a lot different here than at home and then we came up here to find you guys."

"Because that's what you told us to do if we ever got stuck somewhere weird," Lou added.

"You're Mom and you're Dad," Eddie said, pointing, "And I'm Eddie Kawalsky and this is..."

"I can say it myself!" Lou stomped on Eddie's foot. "I'm Louise Audrey Kawalsky, but you named me after Uncle Lou, and it's easier to say and stuff, so I'm Lou. Hi!"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Sam shot Kawalsky a 'well, this is new' look, then turned back to the her their kids. Oh, Alanna was going to kill her.

Still, if they ever stopped fighting, the kids seemed pretty cute, and smart and healthy and stop thinking about this, Carter. "Eddie, huh? Who are you named after?"

[minor-k.livejournal.com]

"Edward Giacomin, of the New York Rangers," he said proudly.

"And..."

"Shut up."

Lou grinned at Sam. "And Denver the dinosaur."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"A hockey player and a holographic dinosaur." Sam gave Kawalsky a WTF look, figuring he was responsible somehow.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

The boggling part of Kawalsky was overrun by the sheer amusement at the name. He burst out laughing. "That must've been one great epidural if I got away with that."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam threw a greasy rag at him. "I must have been out of my mind."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Tell me about it." Kawalsky rubbed his forehead. "You guys didn't give me dates. What year are you from?"

[minor-k.livejournal.com]

"Earth timeline or Asgard timeline?" Lou asked.

Eddie rolled his eyes. "What do you think? It's 2019."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Of course you've met the Asgard," Sam facepalmed, "and here it's only 2007. How old are you guys?"

[minor-k.livejournal.com]

"I'm five and stupidhead is seven."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Don't call your brother a stupidhead," Sam sighed even before Eddie could protest. She decided they'd definitely had them too close together, and was naturally already doing the math in her head.

Kawalsky, in the mean time, was just standing there. He didn't know whether to be freaked out because this might have meant things were totally out of whack and now he had no clue what was going on, or be highly amused and pleased, because having kids with Sam wasn't a bad thing, they were pretty awesome and it meant that he beat Jack Harkness.

Thankfully, he didn't share this train of thought with Sam.

"Five years out of school, then kids?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Sounds about right," she nodded. Sam wasn't as thrown by this as she had been by Jake and Aiden's appearance earlier, because somehow this was more organized and logical than the life the two boys had described. Five years was a very long time, and things changed. "And I suppose I should be thankful you didn't name them Danny and Sandy."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky grinned. "Maybe the next two." He hastily added, "I'm kidding!" Charlie looked at the kids. "So we'd better get you two home, huh? How about food first?"

[minor-k.livejournal.com]

"I want banana pancakes!" Lou said.

"I want Belgian waffles with ice cream!" Eddie added. "And a danish."

"I want one of those too! And chocolate milk."
