Fourth floor common room, Monday morning

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami walked Akira to the common room and sat him down on the couch with one of her encyclopedias in Japanese. //"Lets see. We have apples and carrot sticks and tomatoes. You want a rice-ball with those?"// She was not about to offer her kid candy or ice cream for breakfast.

[open as common rooms are. The TV is off at the start]

"//Yes, please,//" he said, indicating that he'd like a bit of everything.

Right, little boys liked to eat a lot didn't they? Ami made a plate of vegetables and fruit and handed it to Akira, while she set the rice to cook.

//"so"// she said conversationally. //"Tell me a bit about yourself? What do you like to do? What do we do together?"//

"//I like to read. You make me do math work so I can play with my toys. I like the toys. Action figures!//" he exclaims, making swooping fly-y motions with his hands like a superhero.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"You do not like the Math work?"// Ami asked, slightly surprised.

[akira-chan1.livejournal.com]

"//I do,//" he replied. "//It's fun, but not as fun as action figures! Sailor V! She's so cool!//"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami chuckled. //"True. But you know, she has to do a lot of math in her head, to know how to catch the bad guys the best way. So i bet she has to find math fun as well."//

The rice boiled and Ami too it off the heat to finish cooking.

//"So... do you think you could describe your Father-san for me?"// she really was curious...

[akira-chan1.livejournal.com]

"//Father is Father. He's older. You're older, to, Mama.//"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"I would hope so!"// Ami chuckled. //"But... what does he look like? What does he do? What do you and he do together?"//

[akira-chan1.livejournal.com]

"//He looks like Father,//" Akira said. Without a 'duh' because he'd never. Really. "//He's tall. Brown hair. He says I look like you and you say I look like him, but he's more pale. Blue eyes.//"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Right. Caucasian. How useful. She had figured THAT out.

//"Does he live with us in Tokyo?"// She shaped the rice-ball and added a pretty seaweed bow to it. Handing him the rice, she handed him a glass of apple juice to go with it.

[akira-chan1.livejournal.com]

"//He travels a lot,//" he nods. "//And sometimes you're at work and sometimes you're off doing your Sailor--I'm not supposed to say.//" He claps his hands over his mouth, eyes like saucers.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"I am off doing my what?"// So, who ever she had this kid with traveled a lot. But did live with them... Well that was encouraging to know...

Ami may or may not notice A Billy sleeping in an armchair recliner with two children snuggled up with him.

Billy's kids smelled food, and their stomachs woke them with reminders that they had not eaten since breakfast yesterday.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami noticed two more kids. "Hello little ones. Would you like some rice and vegetables?"

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"Oh yes please." Ana said gratefully, being careful not to wake her father as she scrambled from the chair. She noted that she smelled like she'd slept in her clothes. Which she had. Tommy was somewhat less decorous, and tumbled off the arm of the chair, before dashing over to the counter.

"Hi!" he grinned.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Hello" Ami smiled and finally looked over to where they had come from. And saw Billy. Oh. "Um, is that your Father?" she asked carefully, as she handed them plates of food.

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"Yuhuh." Tommy said, taking the plate gratefully. "He must be really tired, he's never sleeps later than us, cept when he's really tired. Like this one time when Granpa forgot his medsin an' Dad had to go find 'im."

"Tommy," Ana hissed. "Grandpa's a secret!"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Oh god. "It's ok... i know a little about your grandfather." She tried to smile. "So... My name is Ami, what are your names?"

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

The kids gaped at her a bit. "Miss Ami!" Ana gasped. Tommy, obviously the more impulsive of the two, glomped her.

Billy began to stir in his chair. His neck was complaining.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Um... hi." She attempted to peel a child off of her. "That didn't tell me your name young man..."

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"Sorry." Tommy grinned. "I'm Tommy. This is Anastasia."

"Uhm, pleased to meet you." Anastasia said. That felt weird to say because they both kinda already knew her back home.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Hi." Ami looked at billy who seemed to be waking up. "I take it we have met? will have met? Um"

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"Yes." Ana said, rolling her eyes at Tommy's giggling at the awkward. "You and Daddy are friends back home."

And Billy woke up and saw that his kids had met his girlfriend who might be gay. Oh, this wouldn't be awkward at all.

"Morning."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Hey." Ami looked at billy. then she looked at Akira, who was very carefully eating his rice-ball. "I seem to have met your children"
