Second floor common room, Saturday afternoon

[gobrookeyourself]

A little stuck on the idea of Thanksgiving, Brooke was doing a cookie trial run. It'd been a while since she made the, from scratch, she figured she should make sure she could get them right before everyone got food poisoning.

She set the cookies on the baking sheet and put them in the oven, starting to do cleanup while they baked. And by 'clean up' we mean 'sneaking bites of leftover cookie dough when no one was looking'.


[Open like a common room!]

Peyton had been dealing with a cranky wokling all day. Movement had seemed to be the only thing to soothe him so she'd been wandering the dorms. When she smelled cookies baking, she couldn't resist going in.

"Brooke! Hey! Spare a cookie for a tired friend?"

[gobrookeyourself]

"Uhhh, sure," Brooke said, offering the bowl. "Right now they're still in transition or dough form, though."

"No, George," Peyton said, pulling the wokling away from the bowl even as she snagged a finger full of dough. "Not for babies."

She smiled tiredly at Brooke. "Cookie dough is wonderful at the moment.

[gobrookeyourself]

"Who's your adorable fuzzy friend?" she asked, unabashedly making faces at him because oh so cute.

"Brooke, meet George. George, this is Brooke," Peyton said with a smile, shifting so that the wokling was a little closer. "Careful, he's a hair puller."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Hi, George," Brooke cooed. Yes, it was totally cooing. "Are you sure he can't have cookies? I'll give him a pony if he wants a pony."

"B. Davis," Peyton said, laughing, "when I have kids you are so going to have to sign some sort of contract so you don't spoil them wild."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Never going to happen," she said, shaking her head. "Any signature on a piece of paper like that is obviously forged. He's just so cute... even if I don't know what he is. He's fuzzy!"

Peyton laughed. "You're incorrigible, B. Davis. But you are more than welcome to spoil George. He's a wokling. And he's mine and Molly's till Tuesday."

Peter was drawn by the smell of baking. He smiled when he saw who was doing it. "Hey. Those for sharing?"

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke held out the bowl of cookie dough. "They are as soon as they finish but for now you can help me with the clean-up action that we call 'cheating and eating the leftovers'."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I think I can swing that." Peter looked for a spoon to eat cookie dough with. "Play your cards right and I might help with the cleanup that's actually cleanup."

[gobrookeyourself]

"I knew you were someone to keep around," she said with a smile. "Especially since he cleanup is the suckiest part of, well, anything."

"I've learned it helps to have things to back up my charm and good looks," Peter said with a grin.

[gobrookeyourself]

"Like mad cleaning skills? Remind me to invite you to all my parties."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I never said I was any good at cleaning," Peter said, teasing.

[gobrookeyourself]

"Can you pick stuff up?" she wondered.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"This is going to be a trap if I say yes, right?" Peter asked, but he didn't seem like he minded.

Peyton waved at him, shifting George a little. Woklings got heavy after a while.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Should I say congratulations?" Peter asked, indicating the wokling.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"I guess," Peyton said with a grin. "Molly and I are the proud parents of a baby wokling. Till Tuesday anyway."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Does this make me an uncle?" Peter asked. He left off the part where technically he already was one.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely," Peyton said with a grin. "Especially if it means I get to pawn him off on you on occasion."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I suppose I could lend a hand," Peter said. "Do they get along well with dogs?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

Peyton blinked. "I haven't the foggiest idea. Do you have a dog?"
