#31 - [Accidental Video Post]

[The device clicks on to a dark room. A bed is positioned in the centre, where two figures sleep. After a few moments, the peace is interrupted by a high-pitch wail. Many may recognise it as the familiar cry of oh-god-I-am-a-baby-and-I-just-woke-up-alone-what-is-this? The figure nearest the camera rolls over, and is unmistakably the bleary-eyed

Baby!Rose - middle of the night

[totallyinaband]

[rehymenator]

[ Castiel barely moves at first. It takes Stephen's voice stopping and another shriek from Rose to make him snuffle awake. ]

I'm up-- I'm up. Dad's coming, Rosie, you just...

[ Thwack. That's his toe into the bed. He is unfazed, though, and continues shuffling out through the door. Moments later, the crying quiets down, and Castiel returns with his precious baby in his arms. ]

[totallyinaband]

[If he weren't so fucking tired, Stephen would probably laugh at that. Instead he JUST manages to hoist his head off the pillow to look up as they come in.]

What'd she want this time?

[rehymenator]

[ His jaw stretches out, the huff of air making him wonder why he's suddenly sleeping at night. Rose gurgles a little, demanding his attention and -- oh right, he's been asked a question. ]

Well, she wanted her daddies, of course. Didn't you, Rose?

[ Climbing back in the bed, he starts to swaddle her in the blankets between them. Stephen should be proud! Castiel has progressed past the clingy never-let-her-go stage! ]

Four years later - first day of Kindergarten

[totallyinaband]

[derse_princess]

[A very young Rose Lalonde is sat at the breakfast table, scowling slightly. She doesn't get why she has to go and be surrounded by other kids in order to learn when she could just as happily sit with a pile of books and be left alone.]

[totallyinaband]

[Conversely a slightly older looking Stephen Stills is in the kitchen with her. He turns around from the stove and slips an 'R' shaped pancake onto her plate.]

Voila! Turned out pretty good this time, don't you think?

[derse_princess]

[Oh the disdain this little girl can summon when she has to. But it's that sort of disdain where she can't quite hide the smile even though she's really trying]

I guess.

13-year-old!Rose - family dinner

[totallyinaband]

[derse_princess]

[Rose is currently still in her room, knitting some cuddly tentacled...thing. She'll be down when she's ready or when she's forced to be; for now she's happy in her own company]

[totallyinaband]

[KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. This is probably your Dad at the door, Rose. The Dad that understands boundaries, anyway.]

[derse_princess]

[Rose puts her knitting down and crosses to the door, opening it just enough to see who's there]

I suppose this is where I get ordered downstairs?

[KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.]

[totallyinaband]

[Oh hey! Look what the cat dragged in.]

Oh, hey. Are you hungry? I just started lunch.

[manofgnee]

It's good to see you too, brother!

[Here, have a big surprisingly strong bear hug.]

Food would be excellent right about now, actually.

How're you doing?

You've gotta be kidding me.

[brokemysmolder]

[then, realizing it's a curse, barely bites back a laugh]

Why didn't you invite me to the baby shower?

Audio - in the morning

[totallyinaband]

I assumed you were busy. Or forgot. Sorry, bro. You can always come by and shower her with gifts in person if you feel the need.

[ooc: ilu bro. <3]
