2nd floor common room - Sunday afternoon

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron was quietly boggling at the little girl sitting beside him on the couch. At least he'd managed to take off his tuxedo from yesterday and after some major bargaining he had gotten Marybeth to agree to eat lunch on the condition that she got ice cream as dessert.

He had a lot to learn about parenting.

Marybeth was happily eating her ice cream and kicking her legs.

"Daddy? What is this place? Why aren't we at home?"

"It's Fandom," he replied, not sure how to explain that weirdness to a 5 year old. "We're uh... here because I have some stuff to do here." Very clear.

"This is where you met Mommy!" Marybeth said. "And Uncle Marty and Uncle Logan and Uncle Angel and... oh! Can we call Uncle Angel later? We haven't visited the Hyp... Hip... the hotel in forever!"

Dick came into the common room with his kid. The little boy had gotten syrup all over him this morning and was now wearing one of his dad's shirts that read "There's a U in ugly".

"You too?" he asked Cam, gesturing to the little girl.

Ryan walked past his dad and went to go turn on the TV. There's got to be cartoons on somewhere.

Marybeth spotted Dick and jumped off the couch. She ran over and kicked him in the shin as hard as she could.

"Ow!" yelled Dick, this being the second time he'd been abused by a kid today. "What was that for?"

[rc-casablancas.livejournal.com]

"Hey! Don't kick my dad." said Ryan, tearing his eyes away from the TV. "You're mean."

"Apparently," Cameron said, looking over at Dick and his kid. "And I think I'm glad that I'm not the only one or I would be seriously worried about what happened yesterday."

Dick was rubbing his shin from where Marybeth had kicked him. "I take it from the warm welcome she gave me that she's Veronica's?"

Ben wandered away from his mom for a couple of minutes and peeked into the common room. "Uncle Dick!" he exclaimed, waving.

"Ben!" Marybeth exclaimed, running over to him. "When did you get so big?"

Cassie peeked into the common room.

"Okay, who made it bring your little sibling to school day?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I really wish that was it," Cameron replied.

[just-like-mommy.livejournal.com]

Marybeth walked over and frowned at the girl. "I don't like you," she decided.

No, she had absolutely no basis for this.

"Whassa sibling?" Marcie asked.

Angela came in, carrying s small girl with dark blond hair. "Cute kid," she told Cameron. "Does she think she's yours?"

"Am yours, mama," Marcie contributed, chewing on a strand of hair.

[just-like-mommy.livejournal.com]

"Aunt Ang'la! Marcie!" Marybeth bounced over. "Hi hi hi hi!"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron nodded. "Mine and Veronica's," he said. "And it's kind of hard to deny that she's Veronica's."

Stark had managed to avoid the weetinies thus far. So when he walked into the common room, he was surprised to see a small horde of children.

"Where did they come from this time?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"First guess? Prom," Cameron quipped and made a mental note to ask Marybeth more questions when she was done playing.

[just-like-mommy.livejournal.com]

Marybeth looked up at Stark with very wide eyes. "That's a really cool mask," she said. "Are you in disguise?"

Wyatt walked out into the common room, yawning. He looked around in surprise. "What's with all the kids?" he said.

[just-like-mommy.livejournal.com]

"Hey! I know you," Marybeth said. "You're Aunt Piper's son."

And it was now that Perfectly spotted her other nephew. She walked up quietly and tugged at his sleeve, politely.
