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.

"Hey Phoebe," Jim smiled. Something about the little girl on his shoulders seemed to be mellowing him out. "I guess you've already met?"

"Auntie Beebs!"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe grinned. "Yes, we ran into each other this morning."

"She's - oof, okay, down, I got it," Jim chuckled when Maggie stretched over his head towards Phoebe for a hug.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe grinned and came over closer so Maggie could give her a hug. "Hiya Little Bit," she said with a happy smile.

"Hiya!" Maggie said happily, wrapping her arms around Auntie Beebs' neck and planting a sweet kiss on her cheek. "Daddy's makin' me a snack!"

[sensethevisions]

"That's because your Daddy is a good daddy," Phoebe said with a nod as she hugged Maggie to her.

Pandora and Samantha also came over.

"Hi Cousin Maggie," Pandora said sweetly as Samantha patted her hair gently.

"Hiii!" Maggie beamed broadly and tried to wriggle out of her daddy's grasp to play with her cousins. Jim reluctantly let her down.

Pandora looked up at Jim solemnly.

"It's okay, Uncle Jim. I'll look out for maggie, just like always."

"Uh, thanks." Jim rubbed the back of his neck as he looked down at the girl he had never seen before, but clearly knew him. Uncle?

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe gave a faint smile. "Apparently my girls know you and Lana and Maggie."

Yeah, she looked confused, too.

"These ones are yours? Then I guess . . . I guess we keep in touch." A small smile appeared on his face. "When I'm apparently the bestest pleeceman ever."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiled at him. "Of course we keep in touch. You're in love with my very best friend."

She watched Pandora and Samantha with Maggie and decided not to tell Jim that her two daughters were from completely different time lines.

"Of course." Jim was twitching to scoop his daughter up and play with her himself.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked at him. "Want me to distract my girls so you can kidnap yours back," she teased.

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"No!" Jim said quickly. "I mean, no, she should be playing with other kids, right?"

[sensethevisions]

"Probably," Phoebe nodded. "I've found it hard to let my girls out of my sight since they got here."

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"They kinda grow on you."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "Is it wrong that I keep kind of hoping this is... permanent?" She worried her bottom lip.

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"Yes," he told her seriously.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked down. "If they go, I'll never see Pandora again," she explained quietly.

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

Jim frowned, worried, put his hand on her back. "You aren't going to . . ."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe blinked back tears because she didn't want any of the girls to see she was upset. "In the world Pandora comes from? Cole is dead," she said quietly. "In her world, he died earlier this year."

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry," Jim said quietly.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe sighed. "Lana and I talked about this in class and I'm just not looking forward to never seeing her again. I mean... she's mine."

Jim ducked his head. "I know what you mean."
