Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday Night

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was relaxing in the fifth floor common room. Amazingly, she was kidlet free for the moment. Pandora had gone with Anders and Artemis, and Samantha had gone off with Cole and his flock. So, she was alone.

Alone.

Time to herself.

And missing her girls.

Yeah, she was attached.

Phoebe nodded, still holding onto Pandora. "Apparently," she grinned. "From what I can see, Artemis got the stubborness of both you and Cole."

Anders groaned. "Oh, definitely. Between just the two of them, no wonder I'm exhausted."

Phoebe grinned. "I think they are both adorable."

Of course, it was obvious she was partial to Pandora.

Of course.

"Didn't think I'd have a hand in such cute kids," Anders mumbled absently, stroking Pandora's hair and watching Artemis run around with the others.

"You short-change yourself way too often."

Anders looked at her in surprise. "You think so?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "I know so... and you let others do it to you, too."

She blushed. "Sorry. None of my business really." She was paying very close attention to Pandora's hair.

So was Anders, who was blushing too. "I don't mind if you want to make it your business," he said awkwardly.

Phoebe sighed. "It's just... Cole cares a great deal about you, Anders... and so do I. I just don't like it when I see someone I care about short-changing himself as often as I see you do... or when you let others do it, you know?"

Anders bit his lip. "I guess . . . didn't realize it bothered you that much."

"It's okay, Mommy," Pandora said reassuringly, "you train him out of it eventually."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe shrugged. "I didn't feel I had any right to be upset about it." She explained. "So, I never said anything. I don't know why I did just now, honestly."

She looked at Pandora and just stared. "I do what?"

Pandora nodded. "You always say that Daddy had a bad habit of not being very nice to himself and it took you years to train him not to do that any more. And then I asked you how you trained him and you said you'd tell me when I was a lot older."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe blinked... and then she started blushing when she realized why she wouldn't tell Pandora until she was much older.
