5th floor Common Room - Sunday evening

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette was laying on the couch, nibbling on pretzels, watching her son play the Wii. He didn't seem to play any better than she did and she realized she had made a grave error in raising him. He just sat there, almost lifeless, trying to get the people to do what he wanted.

"Mommy! It's broken! Why did you buy a broken thing?"

"It's not broken, Sebastian, you just have to learn to play."

"Can't you help me?"

Annette sighed. "If I help you, I will kill your man. If you just punch a bunch of buttons really fast? It will work. Promise."

(open!)

"Thanks, Tori." She grinned and whispered softly so the little guys couldn't hear. "Weird waking up to them this morning though, eh?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome." Tori smiled warmly. She put Aiden down and he ran over to watch Sebastian play with the Wii. "It was very weird, yes. I think this might be the weirdest thing Fandom's ever done."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"I know it. I won't forget it for a long time, I'm sure. So, is the daddy around?" Yeah, Annette couldn't help asking that one.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Neither will I." That was for sure. "No. Honestly? I don't know who the father is." But she had an idea. There were three obvious choices.

Annette couldn't help but giggle at that and hoped Tori didn't take it the wrong way. "Blake maybe?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori blushed profusely and grinned sheepishly. She might look like she'd gotten some sunburn. "Maybe."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She just giggled more, cause it was hard to picture Tori saying she didn't know who the father of her kid was. Priceless.

"Well, whoever he is, I am sure he's so lucky!"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori continued to blush and shook her head, really amused. "That he is." She laughed. "What about yours? Do you know who the father is?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Oh yes, I know who Sebastian's father is. That would be Sebastian." She giggled. "Our son is Sebastian jr."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Right, junior." Tori laughed. "I'm guessing he doesn't go here, then. Someone from back home?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette looked down, over at Sebastian, "My Sebastian died just before I came here, Tori. But his daddy, is alive and thriving somewhere in an alternate universe. With me." Which is still so very hard to think about.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Annette. I'm so sorry." Tori smiled ruefully. She couldn't imagine what it felt like to have that happen. "Well, I guess we can be glad for that then?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She nodded, "It's okay. It was a terrible accident. But yes," She smiled. "At least our son is happy with the both of us somewhere. A part of me can't help but wonder though, you know? What it would be like to be with him now."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori nodded, smiling slightly. "Yeah, I get that. It's got to be mind boggling. To wonder and wish you could experience it." That's how she felt too. She wondered if Aiden's dad really was Blake and had a feeling they were a happy family.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette had a feeling she had a happy family somewhere too. Even if Sebastian had this little mean streak thing going on. He totally didn't get it from her.

"He's so cute, Tori, your Aiden."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori was certain Annette did, too.

"Thank you." She smiled brightly, amused by how entranced he was with the Wii. "Sebastian's adorable, too. And quite the well behaved boy." Tori really did enjoy his company.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She giggled, "He has a mean streak. It's little though. He squirted syrup on Dick's boy this morning, all over his shirt."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Aww, really?" Tori couldn't help but laugh, amused by that. "I'm sure there was a good reason for it."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Well, Sebastian said that Ryan, Dick's kid, stuck his sticky hand on his cheek." Annette giggled and shrugged. "Kids. What do you do?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Oh. That was a bad move on Ryan's part." Tori smirked and shook her head. "You've got to love them."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I think that is what Sebastian thought too. Dick on the other hand? Not too happy about it I don't think." Annette wrinkled her brow. "I think his kid is a lot like him and I just learned a whole bunch of new stuff when I met his kid this morning." And she still wasn't sure what to think about all of that.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess I wouldn't be too happy if it happened to my kid either." Tori admitted, with a slight grin. "Oh wow. That's got to be a system shock."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, pretty much system shocks all around today." She managed with a small smile. "Think I might sleep pretty good tonight."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Oh, definitely. Especially after I found out I have a daughter running around here. And the father? Is apparently Conner." Tori's brain broke again. "I'll be getting some great sleep tonight." She let out a soft chuckle.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette's jaw fell open, "A little girl too? And Conner is the daddy? Ohmigod." That was pretty much all she could say about that right now. She was boggling in a majorly way.
