Maria: *conked out after a long day of fixing fences and walls, and moving damaged vehicles. Has Pete laying around her head and purring up a storm while Silver sleeps on her feet*
Pete: *suddenly lifts his head and looks around* Mrrrr?
Silver: *soft yap as he jumps off the bed*
Maria: *groggily reaching for the alarm clock to see what time it is* Pete, it's too early for noms....
Pete: *up and sniffing around the empty space on the other side of the big bed* Mrrowwww. Murrr. Brrrrrr....
Silver: *listening to something and whining*
Maria: *sitting up now, will rub at her eyes* Silver? What's wrong? *not quite awake yet, but awake enough to be a hassle for anyone who tries to harm the pets*
Pete: *sits up, looks the same direction as Silver is looking, and starts to call and cry. Then jumps down and runs to the door* Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Maria: *frowns and moves to get out of bed before heading for the door, reaching for the bat that's located under the bed*
Pete: *stands up and puts his big fat front paws on the door as he gets more insistent* *Mama, we must go out!*
Silver: *shrill little fox call, his fur is twice as puffy as usual in his excitement*
Maria: *frowns and opens the door, looking around for Johnny*
pets: *both streak out of the bedroom, and then down the hall*
Pete: *soon crying to be let out through the front door, even though when he does go out it's into his pen on the patio*
Maria: *following, and looking around* Johnny? *a bit worried by the lack of husband, though she'll let Pete out and hold the door so Silver can go out as well*
Pete and Silver: *two soft fluffy streaks across the lawn on their way toward the Ark*
Pete: Mrow! Mrow! Mrowwwww! *as he goes*
Maria: Pete! Silver! Come back here! *chases after the furkids*
pets: *belly down and gone into lavender field*
Maria: *treading carefully, since Tracks' field has taken a lot of abuse because of the attack earlier in the week* Pete! Silver! C'mon... It's too early to be doing this sorta stuff!
Pete: Mrowwwww! *sounds faint and in the direction of the barn*
Silver: *shrill yapping as he calls for Mama*
Maria: *following and wondering whether she's gone insane*
pets: *asking to be let into the little tin shed where the gardening and landscaping stuff is kept when she reaches them. Both urgent and earnest*
Maria: *frowns and hesitates* There'd better not be an ax murderer in there.... *opening the door to the shed*
pets: *run right in and past the tools, over to the door on the back wall that has never been there before*
Maria: ... *murmurs in Portuguese* [What the heck?] *moves to approach the door and check whether it's unlocked or not*
door: *slides open, showing the inside of an elevator*
pets: *go right in and then sit and look at her expectantly*
Maria: ... If this is a dream, it'd better end with a mountain of chocolate. *moves to follow the pets*
pets: *come and love on Mama, and sniff at the end of the baseball bat as the door closes and the elevator starts going down*
Maria: *murmuring in Portuguese, even as she crouches to pet Pete and Silver*
Silver: *tail happy and wagging. He looks like he has just played the 'get Mama' game with Wesson and is feeling proud about it*
Pete: *happy and excited 'Daddy has a cookie!' talk*
Maria: *wonders to herself where this elevator's bringing her*
elevator: *takes a long trip, but finally stops. Door slides open*
pets: *right out and streaking around a slight partition, from which their happy sounds of greeting echo back*
Maria: *following the pets, and looking around warily*
room on the other side of the partition: *large, sterile, white*
Soundwave: *kneeling and clicking softly as he gives cookies to Silver and Pete and gently runs his finger down their backs*
Maria: *stops short and staaaares. Doesn't realize the bat's slipping out of her hand till it hits the floor* *startles*
Soundwave: *looks up at the sound, and then nods to her* *quietly, in his strange toneless voice* Maria, thank you for coming.
Maria: .... *blink blink* Er... You're welcome?
Soundwave: *then tilts his head at her, and reaches over into a shelf unit to take out a Wesson size T-shirt and offer it to her*
Maria: *hesitantly moves closer and reaches for the shirt*
Soundwave: *softly* I will let John explain why you're here. *turns to the table beside him and closes the chest panel on a robot bird very similar to Laserbeak save for its red coloration. Maria will just be able to see the edge of the purple wing of the bot next to it*
Maria: .... *slight frown as she watches*
Soundwave: *quietly, without turning* Aren't you cold?
Maria: ... *and then she remembers that she went to bed in her croptop and knit undies... Will put the shirt on*
Soundwave: *brings the little bots online and watches as they combine and transform... and then Wesson's slipping down from the table to walk hesitantly toward Maria*
Wesson: *softly* Mari?
pets: *doing their Daddy dance all over again*
Maria: .... *looking just a bit confused now* Johnny... *moves to take a step towards her husband*
Wesson: *comes to her and puts his arms around her* Yeah, it's me.
Maria: *quietly* What.....
Wesson: *softly, his eyes on hers* Sounders... he's not just my boss.
Maria: *hesitantly* [He's... your dad?]
Wesson: *shakes his head* No. *bites his lip* He's... part of me.
Maria: .... *brows up as she tries to make sense of this*
Wesson: *gentle hand on her shoulder* I'm a shell program. One he wears sometimes, and sometimes these two drones do. But I'm a real personality. You didn't just... I'm real, okay?
Maria: *very slight wibble, and then she's moving to cling to her husband*
Wesson: *very softly as he holds her protectively* The drones wore me when I came to earth, back when I first joined the Marines. But then Megatron sent him to Earth and I was his way of getting around. *very softly, his head bowed and his eyes distant but no longer sad* He never could figure out why I felt so much for the Major.
Maria: *biting her lower lip as she thinks about how skittish Denver always was around Johnny.... and then she's pushing back her own fears that he's going to be going away soon... or she's trying to*
Wesson: *mouth twitches slightly at the corners* ...Till he fell for you.
Maria: *looks up now*
Wesson: *eyes holding a bit of a twinkle* He was wearin' me that day you kissed me. You knocked his socks off and scared him stupid.
Maria: *BLUSHING now*
Wesson: *gently strokes her hair and then pulls her close again* He wants to bring Buzzsaw and Ratbat back ta life, so I won't be able to use them anymore.
Maria: ... *just went a bit pale*
Wesson: And he wants to wear me, and be me, till the day you die.
Maria: ... *biting her lower lip again* *isn't sure how to ask what she wants to ask without sounding stupid*
Wesson: *sees her expression* *softly* What is it, Baby?
Maria: *quietly* Will you still be you?
Wesson: *reassuring smile* Oh yeah. I'll still be me.
Maria: *small nod, clings to her husband*
Wesson: *gently kisses her on the cheek* He didn't like you not knowin'.
Maria: *another small nod, is trying not to get upset*
Soundwave: *without turning, that emotionless voice still managing to convey wistfulness* You're upset.
Wesson: *scowl* Of course she's upset, man. She just slaggin' found out her husband ain't like she thought he was.
Soundwave: *flinch*
Maria: *quietly* That, and I'm scared....
Wesson: *looks down at her quickly, his brows drawing together in protective concern* Scared?
Maria: Scared that I might lose you.... *biting her lower lip again*
Wesson: *slowly shakes his head* That ain't happening. You'll just have all of me, all the time. Including the part you scared with that kiss.
Soundwave: *yes, he's blushing*
Maria: *wibbles and hides her face against Wesson's chest*
Wesson: *gently rubs her back and just holds her* The transfer ain't gonna happen if you don't want it to.
Maria: *quietly, in Portuguese* [What I don't want is for either of you to be miserable....]
Wesson: *leans back a little and tips her face up with a finger under her chin, his eyes quizzical as he looks down at her*
Soundwave: *just watching quietly*
Maria: *eyes serious* *softly, a very slight grin tugging at her mouth* [So I really scared him by kissing him like that when I was drunk off of Mr. del Sol's beer?]
Soundwave: *nods silently as Wesson grins*
Wesson: *his deep voice an affectionate rumble* Ohhhhh yeah.
Maria: *small smile*
Wesson: *softly* He's ben your husband already, he just wants to bring the halves together permanently.
Maria: *small nod, understanding in her eyes*
Wesson: So...? *hand still gently rubbing her back between her shoulders* Do you need some time?
Maria: It won't hurt you? *is asking both Wesson and Soundwave*
both: *shake their heads*
Soundwave: *hands lightly folded into fists to keep from reaching for her*
Maria: *quietly* Alright....
Wesson: *grins and kisses her gently on the forehead* Show her what else we got.
Soundwave: *slight head shake* After.
Wesson: No. Now. It'll give her somethin' to hold onto.
Maria: *confused now*
Soundwave: *stares at Wesson for a moment, but then looks to Maria* Do you remember how I created Bitsy to be ours?
Maria: *small nod* Yeah...
Soundwave: *turns back to the table and gently picks up something wrapped in a blanket, stirring up a sleepy little clicking sound*
Wesson: *BIG grin*
Maria: *blink blink blink* .... *both brows up* Is that....?
Soundwave: *hesitates, but then goes to one knee and offers the little bundle* Her name is Maneki Neko.
bundle: *sparklet looking around with big sleepy blue optics and clicking around her fist*
Maria: *reaching for the sparklet and trying not to squeal, though her eyes are sparkling*
Wesson: *smiling so proudly, his chest puffed out, as Soundwave gently sets the dark blue baby into her mother's arms* She's not just some symbiont, either. She's really someone new.
Maria: *looks up, surprised* *is carefully cradling Maneki Neko close*
Maneki Neko: *wriggles and makes a soft sound, then lays her head against Maria's chest*
Wesson: *looks slightly ashamed of himself* Yeah, remember that scary dream you couldn't remember the night before last?
Maria: ... *slightly raised brow*
Wesson and Soundwave: *both looking everywhere but at her*
Wesson: ...I went 'n got some of that gas Seamus used... I was going to tuck her in with us and let you find her in the morning. But you got so scared that I had Frenzy take her down here so I could calm you down. *shuts his eyes* I'm sorry.
Maria: *bites her lower lip* *quietly* She's... made from both of us?
Wesson and Soundwave: *nod*
Wesson: Sounders was wearin' me that night.
Maria: *slight wibble, and then she's ducking her head to talk baby talk to Maneki Neko*
Soundwave: *very quietly* Are you angry?
Maria: *softly* No... *even quieter* I... never thought I'd be a mom....
Wesson: ... *facepalm* Yeah, and we did it so fast that nobody's even had any warning.
Soundwave: *facepalm* ...Too impulsive.
Wesson: Maria makes you stupid.
Soundwave: *silent nod*
Maneki Neko: *little smile for Mama, and then offers her nummy fist*
Maria: *gentle kiss for Maneki Neko's little fist*
Maneki Neko: *little trill of laughter, and then a big yawn and a snuggle* My mama. Mine.
Wesson and Soundwave: *hands down and BEAMING*
Maria: *gently rubs Maneki Neko's back* *quietly* Does she have an alt mode yet?
Wesson: *nods* Yeah. But you have to trigger her transform for her.
Soundwave: *watching as he turns to do something on the table*
Maria: *small nod* *quietly* You'll have to show me how to do that...
Wesson: *reaches into his cargo pocket and takes out a little remote* Point this at her and press this button. But she can't transform when she's wrapped up like that.
Maneki Neko: *curious about what Daddy has. Reach!*
Maria: *small nod and moves to carefully unwrap the little sparklet* Hey now.... Just wait a little bit... Silly kid...
Maneki Neko: *now has blanket* Mine, Mama, mine.
Maria: *soft 'heh'* Alright... we'll wait till we're home then.... *cuddles*
Wesson: *shifts his weight slightly, and then perks and turns to smack Soundwave in the leg*
Soundwave: *hands something down*
Wesson: *holds up a beautiful lacy pink baby dress* You let Mama take your blanket off, 'n you can have this.
Maneki Neko: *staaaare*
Maria: Awww....
Maneki Neko: *looks up at her, and then lets go of the blankie*
Maria: *resumes unwrapping the sparklet, will reach for the remote and use it to trigger Maneki Neko's transform*
Wesson: *grinning* There's my Kitty.
Kitty: *dark-haired baby with big brown eyes and chubby cheeks. The spitting image of that baby picture of Maria that sits in the living room save for the soft milky chocolate of her skin*
Maria: *soft chuckle as she moves to get Kitty dressed in the pink dress* Look at you....
Kitty: *looks at one hand, then the other, and then tries to grab her foot to look at while Mama is dressing her* Buh?
Wesson: *chuckling as he puts out his hands to help hold the little one as she's garbed*
Soundwave: *offers a soft pink diaper*
Maria: *doing her best to keep ahold of Kitty, will reach for the diaper* *humming quietly*
Wesson: *those big hands become a baby change table as he continues to chuckle and admire his girls*
Soundwave: *small, impatient movement. He should be wearing Wesson and helping with that!*
Kitty: *talking up a storm and cutting up the cute for Mama and Daddy*
Maria: *baby finally dressed! And now she's starting to look like she could use a bit more sleep...*
Wesson: *puts his hand to the back of her head as he kisses her gently on the forehead* You wanna go back to bed now? I can bring the furbrats later.
Maria: *quietly* When are you going to do the transfer?
Wesson: Pretty soon. It doesn't take long. But then I gotta program Buzz 'n Batty.
Maria: *lips thin for a moment as she thinks* *quietly* I'm staying.
Wesson: *surprised* Why?
Maria: *getting that stubborn set to her jaw that shows up on occasion* What kind of wife would I be if I chose not to be here for you?
Wesson: *slight grin* You know I've been transferred before.
Soundwave: *without turning* Not permanently.
Wesson: *smacks him on the leg*
Maria: *Look*
Soundwave: Your thoughts and feelings will leave an impression on my spark now. You will be a part of me for the rest of my existence, as will Maria's memory once she herself is no longer with me. *turns head slightly to look down at Wesson*
Wesson: *looks back, his eyes going a little bright*
Soundwave: *quietly* I want my wife here.
Maria: *moving to sit down nearby* *quietly* I'm not leaving.
Kitty: Mine!
Wesson: *softly* Alright, Baby. *goes to help her settle on the comfortable folding camping chair*
Maria: *will sit and hold Kitty close*
Wesson: *gently strokes her hair, then pokes Kitty for a giggle and heads back to Soundwave. Stops by the dark blue Destron and transforms back to the combined bot, then allows himself to be picked up and set on the table*
Pete: *comes over to join the little pink thing in Mama's lap*
Silver: *going to warm Mama's feet. And probably try licking them*
Just shy of three hours later.....
Maria: *chin against her chest, got hit by sleeping baby magic which combined with her own exhaustion and Maine Coon purring. She's down and out for the count*
Wesson: *finishes what he was doing, and then transforms to his alt mode and stretches. Grins as he hears a few pops, and then chuckles as Ratbat pops back at him* You goof.
Ratbat: *chitters softly and transforms into a guitar*
Wesson: Oh no. I ain't carryin' your leadaft home. I got enough people to pack. *goes to gently scoop up his wife, daughter, and cat, speaking softly to Silver as he does*
Maria: *sleepy murmur but doesn't wake*
Wesson: *gently kisses her forehead, then blows on Pete as the cat tries to kiss him* You get outta my face, furball. *grins and brings his family home*
Morning
Kitty: *hungry! And letting the WORLD know!*
Pete: *poofcat! And then worried cat! Why baby cry???*
Maria: *sleepy sound, is starting to wake up*
*and then there's a knock on the front door*
Wesson: *lifts a groggy head and then scoops Kitty into his arms before stumbling barefoot and in his boxers and T-shirt to go open the door* Yeah? Uh... Lt. Colonel? *blink blink*
Kitty: *FUSS*
Denver: *raised brow when she sees Kitty* Er....
Rose: *can hear another bitty, listen to her clickstorm!*
Wesson: *blink... Looks down at daughter* ...Couch gas.
Denver: ... 'Re y'u 'n Maria okay? *concerned*
Wesson: Yeah, yeah. We're fine. *rubs eyes with a finger and thumb, then puts that hand back on Kitty and tries baby dancing* Just had a late night.
Kitty: *getting maaaaaaaaaaad*
Rose: *clickstorms at the noisy bitty she can hear but can't see, is ridin' on Mama's back*
Denver: *sympathetic look* 'Eah... *will get part of her mid-morning snack of a lavender-scented energon bar out and offer it* Th's'll be easeh 'n 'er systems....
Maria: *is that soft thud as she falls out of bed... again...*
Wesson: *startles and jerks toward the sound of the thud and the subsequent sympathetic pet sounds, but then takes the bar and poke it at the angry mouth of his baby daughter* Maaan...
Kitty: Mrph... 0_0 *nom nom nom. Purrrr*
Denver: *attention going to the thud, and then she's bringing Rose around to her front so her daughter can see the new bitty*
Rose: *blink blink blink* *clickstorm! Hi, new bitty!*
Maria: *making her way to the kitchen, pauses when she sees where husband and baby are. Will approach and blink blearily* Hey, Lt. Col.....
Wesson: *arm around Maria's shoulders as he offers Kitty* *softly* How're you feeling, Mari?
Pete: *kisses Denver's feet*
Silver: *busy chasing the food bowl around now*
Maria: *as she moves to hold Kitty close* Morning came too early.... *will lean against her husband now*
Denver: *chuckles as her feet get kitty kisses* D' y'u need coffeh, Maria?
Maria: *headshake* I'll be alright.....
Wesson: Man, don't give her coffee. *wince*
Kitty: *tries to feed nom to Mama*
Maria: *blink blink* Er....
Denver: Tea th'n?
Wesson: Breakfast'll help. *squints at his watch, then looks hopefully at Denver* I know it's really short notice, but is there any way we can get some time off, sir?
Denver: Ah'll git th' schedule changed... 'N y'all mahght wanna th'nk 'bout 'avin' Rachel 'r Russell 'ave a look 't y'all, jes' t' be on th' safe sahd... *attention goes to Kitty, clicks softly*
Rose: *reaching to try and patpat the new bitty*
Wesson: We're alright. Just not alot... *trails off as he looks over Denver's shoulder, then frowns* Don' even think about it, Buzzsaw.
Denver: ... *raised brow* D' Ah wanna know? *yes, that's a hint of amusement in her voice*
Wesson: *sighs* You're bein' snuck up on by a robot condor.
Denver: ... Condors ain't 'zactleh 's subtle 's a raven... *trying not to sound amused*
Rose: Bhuh? *blink blink*
Wesson: *shakes his head* Yeah, well, he it doesn't look like he's taken time to find his sister and let her know he's alive. *looks up as chittering comes from the eaves over the door* Oh, there you are.
Ratbat: *furry, brown, and cute*
Denver: *looks up* *raised brow*
Maria: *also looking up and blinking a bit blearily* ... Kitty's cuter....
Wesson: Oh yeah. *straightens slightly, his expression going serious* You won't be hearing from Sounders anymore.
Denver: *attention back on Wesson now* ... *raised brow* Oh?
Wesson: *nods* *quietly* He's got somethin' important to do.
Denver: *small nod* 'Ave y'u reported th's t' Lt. Col. Oberson?
Wesson: No, sir. You're the first person we've talked to since we learned about it. Right, Mari?
Maria: *sleepy nod*
Kitty: *thrrpt. Eyebrows UP as cookie flies out of her mouth* *looks at Rose*
Rose: *chatter squeak clickstorm*
Denver: *small nod* Report 's soon 's y'u c'n... Aftah breakfast...
Wesson: Yes, sir. *slight salute and then a meep as Silver shoves the food dish into his foot*
Silver: :D
Denver: *snerks* Y'u silleh fox...
Maria: *soft chuckle*
Silver: *waggatail happily, and then roll over as Pete pounces him*
Wesson: *shakes head as he bends to pick up the bowl* I'll call the Chief.
Denver: *nod* Ah'll see 'bout git'n y'all babeh stuff 'f y'u need 't... *small smile* C'ngratulations, John, Maria.
Wesson: *bit of a grin* Baby stuff is one thing we did get. *reaches to smooth Kitty's pink dress and then grabs the tiny pudgy leg and shakes it gently* You kickin' me? Huh? You givin' me attitude?
Kitty: *thrrpt. Gives him cookie crumbs*
Denver: *chuckles* Alrahght... Y'u've got mah comm frequenceh 'f y'u need me... *moves to head off for her morning workout, will move Rose to her original spot on her back*
Wesson: *points his finger at Buzzsaw* You go find your sister. Now. I mean it.
Buzzsaw: *ducks his head and makes like urking up something before he's flying off to find Laserbeak*
Wesson: *facepalm* I think we made a mistake tryin' to make that guy like he useta be.
Maria: *very soft snerk* *quietly* Breakfast?
Wesson: *gentle hand on her shoulder* Maybe you should go back to bed. You're just a new mama after all. *slight grin*
Kitty: *is drooly. Has tongue stuck out. Just like Maria did when bitty*
Maria: *small nod, chuckles when she sees what Kitty's doing*
Wesson: *thoughtful look, but then perks* 'N cookies 'n milk for breakfast. *had to think if they had anything ready made to eat in the house* *then raises his eyebrows at the chuckle* What?
Maria: Kitty's doing like I used to do.... *so amused... and so sleepy*
Wesson: *looks down, and then chuckles and pokes that little pink tongue tip that's peeking out*
Kitty: *absent frown at him, then yawns hugely and smacks on her fist* *snuggle*
Wesson: *chuckles again and kisses her on the hair, then gives Maria a peck and heads for the kitchen with the pets bouncing around his feet*
Maria: *will move to make her way back to the bedroom, wincing as she bangs her shin on the coffee table*
Wesson: *winces too* Careful, Baby.
Pete: Mrow? *looking over at Mama with concern*
Maria: *quietly* I'll be alright... *trying not to cuss* *is going to have an epic bruise within the next few days, more than likely*
Wesson: *just gives her that concerned frown* You want cheese cookies, spicy sausage ones, or those fat chocolate ones with cream in the middle?
Pete and Silver: *Dad said cookie! Beg*
Maria: Cheese is fine.... *wants to rub where she bumped her leg, but doesn't want to set Kitty down for now...*
Wesson: Alright. *hesitates, but then turns his head again and looks right at her. And she will feel a soft wash of loving feeling that isn't her own*
Maria: *blinks a bit when she feels that, gives Johnny a slight smile as she remembers hearing that Soundwave was telepathic*
Wesson: Go on to bed. I'll bring your food. *turns to fill the pet dish with the good homemade food that both animals insist on sharing and garnish it with a couple of the little cheese cookies*
Maria: *small nod, will make it back to bed without further incident, and get Kitty comfortably situated in a nest of pillows*
Kitty: *is a little wriggle with sleepy dark eyes as she frowns and chews on her fist*
laundry basket of baby things: *was not sitting on that chair last night, but now is. Has a soft blanket shaped like a winged pig on top*
Maria: *sees the laundry basket, will go get the winged pig blanket and offer it to Kitty*
Kitty: *perks and reaches with both little hands* Mine.
Maria: *chuckles and tucks it around her daughter*
Kitty: *snuggles and purrs, then clicks softly and smiles*
Wesson: *comes in with a couple big glasses of strawberry smoothie, and a plate heaped with the cheese cookies* I stuck the kids in the pen on the deck.
Maria: Will they be alright out there?
Wesson: Why shouldn' they be? *settles on his side of the bed, and then turns and offers the tray* We've left 'em out there before.
Maria: Yeah, but .... *small frown* I lost my train of thought... :\
Wesson: *offers her one of the smoothies* You got new mama urges mixing you up with the sleepiness from last night.
Maria: *soft 'heh' as she accepts the offered smoothie* Yeah, I guess...
Wesson: *reaches over to rub her shoulder, and then looks down as Kitty squeals* What?
Kitty: *is sure those have to be something like what she already ate! She's still hungry!*
Wesson: *pulls the baby bottle out of the hand supporting the tray, and then gently pokes it at her mouth after setting the tray on the bed. Takes his smoothie so it won't tip* //Hey, Mr. Oberson?// *figures it's way too early, but feels like he's going to crash again soon*
Patrick: *sounding surprisingly awake* //Yes, Lt. Wesson?//
Wesson: //I kinda did somethin' crazy and impulsive.//
Patrick: //...How crazy and impulsive, and am I going to have to talk to Russian officials again?//
Wesson: //...That wasn't me.// *databursts Patrick a picture of the fat babby contentedly drinking from her bottle as she examines the edge of her pink blanket*
Patrick: //... Was the Nexus involved somehow?//
Wesson: //Yup. But I did it on purpose.//
Patrick: //Ah... Is she Cybertronian or human?//
Wesson: //Mostly Cybertronian. But she's Maria's daughter too.//
Kitty: *eyelids drooping. Quiet little clicks as she eats*
Wesson: *shares that*
Patrick: //I figured... Do you need anything?//
Maria: *nodding off just a bit*
Wesson: //Maybe some food we don't need to cook. We're beat. Right now we're havin' smoothies 'n cookies for breakfast.// *sets his smoothie on the night table and reaches over to gently lay his wife back*
Patrick: //I'll send in an order to SwindleCo... Meatplant as the main part of the meal is alright, or should I order something else?//
Wesson: Mari, you okay with meatplant?
Maria: Hm? *blinks and works out what her husband is asking* Yeah...
Wesson: //Meatplant's fine, sir.//
Patrick: //Alright. Congratulations on your newest family member, John.//
Wesson: //Thanks, Chief. Wesson out.// *rubs his eyes with a finger and thumb, then reaches over to pull the blankets up around Maria*
Maria: *moving to curl up around Kitty, is already half asleep*
Kitty: *sound asleep and just stopped drinking and clicking*
Wesson: *takes the bottle away and sets it by his smoothie, then moves the tray over beside them. Puts a handful of cookies in his mouth and lays back, then snerks softly as he catches a burst of surprise and then indignation from Laserbeak* *cuddles his wife and baby and feels content as he drifts off*
