School Grounds - Tuesday, After 5th Period

"That was SO COOL," Lou said, bouncing ahead of Eddie and Charlie. "I got to shoot stuff and get messy and Thomas and Joanie were crazy! But good crazy! Can we go again?"

"Maybe later. Food first."

"I want pizza!" Eddie said.

"You *always* want pizza."

"So?"

"So you're gonna turn into a pizza face!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Guys!" Kawalsky cut them off. "Pizza's a sometimes food. We had it last night. We'll get a snack now and I'll cook something later for dinner, okay?"

"Okay!" they replied in unison.

"Good, then we can..." He trailed off when he saw who was walking in the other direction.

"Dad?" Eddie asked, frowning. "What is it?"

"It's okay," Kawalsky replied to him, then spoke to the newcomer to the group. "Hey Alanna."

"Charlie!" Alanna said with a grin, and then noticed the crowd. "Hunh."

Eddie and Lou had been in enough situations to know when to behave themselves. Eddie stood in front of Charlie, Charlie's hands on his shoulders, and Lou stood beside them. "You have nice hair," Louise said, breaking the silence.

Alanna smiled down at the kids. "Thank you, so do you." She took a mental breath. "Taking a walk with your dad?"

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
"We're just coming back from Aly's class. Met Thomas and Joanie yet?"

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Yup. With a huge yell of 'grandma' that sadly ended my mockery of everyone else in the room." Alanna dug a cat out of her bag. "You guys like cats?" Faithful looked like he didn't like kids.

[identity profile] minor-k.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
They both nodded a lot.

"Gentle," Kawalsky said.

"We know!"

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Alanna handed Faithful over to the kids and glanced up at Charlie. "Having an interesting few days?"

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded. "I hate time travel."

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Alanna gave a small smirk. "Now you all know how I feel."

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
"I wouldn't be surprised if you got blamed for all this."

Eddie and Lou were crouched down beside Faithful talking to him quietly.

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Alanna's face turned a very funny shade. "I didn't do it!"

Faithful was getting very, very used to being used a play thing.

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm not saying you did, I'm saying you might get blamed for it by people who aren't me. Did anyone show up for you? Not Aly, I mean."

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Alanna shook her head. "Not as far as I know. So who's are they?" She indicated the kids playing with the cat.

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Mine," Charlie replied. "And Sam's."

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Alanna nodded, and squished down any feelings she might have on the subject. "Hm. School still in one piece?"

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
"What's rule number one kids?"

"No explosives til we're 12."

"Still in one piece. I would've introduced you before, but...busy weekend."

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Alanna nodded and bit back a laugh. "That's one way to put it."

[identity profile] minor-k.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Lou stood up from petting Faithful. "Daddy, can we have snacks now?"

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Soon, okay? Couple more minutes. I'm just talking to my, uh, to Alanna." He looked vaguely apologetic. "They eat a lot."

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Alanna didn't look hurt, really. "Don't all kids? They're adorable."

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, with parents...well, with mine and Sam's genes, more than most kids. I'm hoping Aly's class tired them out."

"Not tired!" they yelled in unison.

"Maybe after food. I should get them inside and stuff. I'll come see you tomorrow, okay?"

[identity profile] threeweapons.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Alanna nodded and swallowed past the lump in her throat. "Yeah, tomorrow."

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay." He could tell there was something wrong. He guessed that it was probably the same feeling he'd felt when he thought Harkness was Aly's father. It was a punch in the gut and you wanted to return the favor ten-fold. But this was something Charlie was having a hard enough time dealing with on his own. He had to keep moving. "Okay guys," he said to the kids. "Race to the lobby and I'll be right behind you. Say bye to Alanna and Faithful."

[identity profile] minor-k.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Bye Alanna. Bye Faithful."

"Bye Alanna! Bye Faithful!"

Lou then shoved Eddie and started running ahead of him, totally cheating on the race.

[identity profile] kawalsky.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
"I'd better...I'll see you tomorrow."

He headed off after them at a jog. Yeah. Tomorrow. They could talk then.
