The Stables, Saturday Afternoon

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

Everything was lovely today, walking with Spirit back to the stables, she couldn't help smiling and blushing at thoughts of Prom and earlier in the morning.

"You're in a rare mood, Adora," Spirit said, nudging her shoulder.

"I'm happy, Spirit. Things are going so well with Edward and everyone is safe for now." It was rare that she could say that and feel she wasn't about to jinx herself with a Horde attack.

"You do realize when you say things like that--"

"Yes, Spirit," she cut in with a laugh. "But I mean it. Nothing can ruin this happy day."

Poor Adora was still so new.

"Tell Maddy that's her naaaaame," Hamilton replied, flinging himself at his father.

Okay, there was a child...children coming towards him and one had called him daddy and oh my god.

"Uh. What?" Good job there, Hannibal.

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"That was my question," Adora replied, not looking particularly amused.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"They're..." Oh god. "...mine?"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"Aren't I still your punkin'?" Madison asked, looking at him with concern.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Uh." Don't be an idiot, Hannibal. Don't. "You are!"

There we go.

"Daddy's just a little off balance today. Hi, punkin!"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

Madison beamed up at him. "Can we go for a ride on Swifty?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Uh. You'll have to ask...your mother?" he said, looking to Adora. "You're the mom, right?"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"Shh, she doesn't like it when you talk about She-Ra!" Madison reminded him.

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"What is that supposed to mean?" Adora asked. "I was under the impression I was their mother..."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"What does that mean?" Hannibal asked and then added, "Punkin?"

Maybe that would help.

"Momma was She-Ra when her and daddy's love made twins," Madison informed them. How or why she knew this was anybody's guess.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"...your mother's She-Ra?" Hannibal asked, blanching as he looked from Madison to Hamilton.

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

Adora smacked her palm against her forehead. "For the love of Grayskull! But, I admit, if anyone was going to get in She-Ra's leotard it would be you, Hannibal."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Oh wow." Well, that was both awesome for his prowess and...well, She-Ra was just damn hot. "Do I call you anything, uh, Hamilton?"

At least he wasn't a Hannibal.

"You call me your Ham Sandwich," Hamilton grinned. "But momma says I'm not edible."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Ham Sandwich," Hannibal repeated, laughing. "Wow. I have...twins. With a superhero. A hot one."

Wow.

"Uh. Do you guys...wanna see her?"

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Hi, still standing here," Adora interjected. "And, I hate to break it to you, Hannibal," she lowered her voice, "but she and I are the same person."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I know, I know, I'm sorry," he said and rubbed his head, still trying to process this. "I've got three kids apparently. My brain is just screaming here."

He rubbed his head.

"Ham Sandwich, how old are you?"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"I'm just past six!" Hamilton told him proudly. "I'm not a baby anymore!"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Practically a man," Hannibal said impressively. "And can you and Madison do...the things your mom can?"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"Does she look like anybody's gonna give her a sword?" Hamilton asked. Come on.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

If Hannibal let himself believe it, he swore this kid had his attitude. "Do I have a sword?"

[heir-to-secret.livejournal.com]

"No, but Uncle Adam's offered to give you his a few times an' mom gets all kinds of mad about it." Probably the manner of his uncle's offer.

"Why can't I have a sword?" Hannibal asked Adora like she'd know.
