Sakura paces the living room looking at the clock over the mantle impatiently. "It's time. Where are they?"
Hiroshi sits on the couch and chuckles "You'll wear a hole in the floor. They're on their way. Ryan and India have a newborn. It takes as long as it takes remember?"
Sakura smiles "I remember, and they're excused, for years, but the rest of them...." She jokes.
Garrett pulls into the long driveway and looks around "Huh. We're first." He smiles at Ziven "No booze tonight. I promise."
Ryan is still running around packing things into the diaper bag like they've never left the house before "Maybe we need more wipes....do you think we need more wipes?"
Stephanie sits in the back with Tristan watching him absently play his DS and smiling to herself. She had happily given up the front passenger seat to Kaitlin when they went to get her. Now they were pulling in just behind Garrett and Ziven just as the other car's lights went out and the ignition was shut off.
Tristan was deep in a game "Oh man I'm dyin here.......no no....jump.....jump.....argh!!!"
Yuki was still en route in a taxi having a hilarious conversation with an old Punjabi Vancouver cab driver. They laughed and talked and exchanged stories about life as Yuki was able to befriend anyone for life in literally 20 minutes.
Ziven turns to his beloved and listens to his promise. Sliding a hand in his pocket, he brings out a small, wrapped syringe. "You can drink, baby." he shakes the syringe. "But if you go to far ........" he winks. It is clearly a threat, but one made in love and with humor. A hazard of being in love with an animal doctor.
India watches Ryan move around the house with a slight smile on her face. She glances at Jayla and kisses her forehead. "You get used to him." she whispers. Then she looks over at Ryan. "No more wipes. I seem to remember your parents have these really cool things called washcloths. Worse comes to worse, they can be used to wipe." she zips up the little baby bag she put Jayla in, then in the car seat, which will snap into the car itself. "Now come on. We keep packing things they're gonna think we're moving in."
Kaitlin looks out of the window as they drive and then back at her phone. "Oh! The dot follows the car!" she giggles, realizing she is very easily entertained, but loving it. She glances back at Tristan and, once she realizes he is neither jumping or dying, returns her focus to the GPS map.
Michael chuckles and glances back at Stephanie. "Yea Mom. I can never use the excuse of 'I couldn't find the place' again." he looks at Tristan in the rear view and grins before returning his attention to the car in front of them. "Garrett beat us." he huffs. "This is it, Mom."
Kaitlin looks out of the window and her eyes grow wide, but she doesn't say anything. Her expression says it all. Awe.
Garrett gulps at the syringe "You're a little scary sometimes Ziven." He leans over and kisses him on the lips, not hearing the other car yet "But I love you. this is a baby party, not a booze party. No tranquilizers necessary." And with that he leans back and opens the door. He sees the other car and smiles and waves.
Stephanie giggles at Kaitlin's new love of her technology and nods and Michael. Then she is just stepping out of Mike's car after he parks and sees Garrett and Ziven kiss and then Garrett get out. She waves back and teases "You'll steam up your windows loverboys." Tristan is still in his game and she reaches in and pokes him "Shut it down please."
Tristan whines "Just two more minutes!"
Ryan zips the bag and shoulders it "OK ok....sorry.....still new at this." He kisses India on the mouth lightly and then Jayla on the forehead and watches her go into her car seat "She's gonna scream again......I hate making her stress but we have to."
Yuki's cab pulls into the end of the driveway while all this is happening and he gets out and walks around to the driver's window, still talking. It looks like the men are exchanging business cards and the cabbie's voice can be heard saying in a thick Indian accent "Ah fish and chips...I love fish and chips. No charge for you at my restaurant Yuki Tanaka." The older man's eyes sparkle "Now go to your friends and have fun!"
Yuki shakes the man's hand and says "And no charge for you at mine Parvinder. Best cab ride ever!" He lets go and walks forward to the groups emerging from their cars and says "Hello Yamadas and Reinhardt's and ....what's the vet guy's name again?"
Sakura can't stand to wait an is on the step waving them in "Hello!" she calls out looking delighted so many have arrived at once. Behind her is Hiro with a big smile on his face too, holding a paper pizza menu in his hand.
Ziven smiles and winks. "All part of the training, my dear." he enjoys the kiss and steps out of the car. He calls over to Stephanie. "A good steam bath will open the pours and let in love and light .... or some shit like that." he sees Sakura and waves at her. "Ziven Ayala." he calls over to Yuki, who he remembers fondly.
Kaitlin is still looking at the house but when she hears Stephanie chide Tristan, she moves. Discipline, in her mind, is still a fathers job and she isn't sure she wants to see how Michael will discipline in his role as father figure. She gets out of the car and sees Sakura and smiles, but isn't moving. But she closes the car door, just in case there is screaming.
Michael is grinning at Ziven and Garrett but hears Stephanie. He glances back at Tristan and steps in, sort of. "You heard your mother." he intones. Knowing Stephanie has it in hand if Tristan disobeys, he only gets out of the car and stands by watching as Yuki gets out of the cab.
India grins. "I'm not sure it gets easier." she winks. "Well, she can't be in her sling ALL the time." she protests and shoulders the bag, so Ryan can get the car seat. "Let's go." and as soon as she walks away and opens the door, two things happen. Jayla begins crying, getting a bit more upset with each second and, across the hallway comes the sound of April, meowing in sympathy.
Kaitlin moves a little forward, still taking in the house. "Oh .... it's so pretty." she looks towards Michael and her new friend Yuki. "Is this what Japan looks like?"
Yuki grins at Ziven "I did remember your first name Ziven. I'm not sure I ever knew your last. No pets. I catch a fish....well I eat it." He looks pleased by his own joke and then shakes his head with a chuckle at Kaitlin "Not when I saw it. But I went to Tokyo. this is much more peaceful, and we're not all crammed together like sardines."
Sakura steps out to literally herd her family in with a bit of good hearted hen pecking. She hugs both Ziven and Garrett and then gives Garrett a little steer towards the door, hoping he takes Ziven in his wake. Stephanie and Michael are already working on Tristan so she lets them do their thing and moves immediately to Kaitlin extending a hand to shake and then looking at her hand and deciding to offer a hug instead "We've been looking so forward to meeting you. I'm Sakura."
Tristan looks between his mother and Michael and sighs and then turns off the game dutifully but with a little edge to his "Fine." He trots into the house and gets stopped in the web of a quick hug from Hiro. It does get rid of the attitude and make Tristan smile. When his mother, and father to be catch up he feel bad for his cheek and mutters a humble "Sorry."
Stephanie looks at her son and smiles "Thank you and accepted. Hi Dad." She hugs her father after Tristan while Sakura is greeting Kaitlin.
Ryan blinks at the cat meowing along as they descend the stairs and fit Jayla's bucket seat into the car "Good baby, you're making the cat cranky." He can't help but feel an odd satisfaction at that since April seemed to despise him. He made sure she was in and got in the driver's seat. It wasn't a long drive, but from the cars already there, it was clear they were the last to get there.
Ziven grins back. "So you don't even have a pet fish?" he asks with a smirk. "That's a shame, sir." He hugs Sakura and watches her herd Garrett in and follows.
Kaitlin is nodding when Sakura shakes her hand and the hugs. It may look simply accepting to the others, but Kaitlin's return hug is firm and grateful. "Oh, I'm so glad to hear that." she looks again at the house and sighs. "It's beautiful."
Michael considers Tristan's tone, but he apologizes quick enough. "Accepted, T." he watches his mother interacting with Sakura as if he expected nothing less than the hugs.
India chuckles at April and listened the entire ride, as if Jayla were being massacred in the back seat. The moment Ryan parks, she is out of the car and leaning over her child, who refuses to be happy until she is being held again. By the time they are at the door, baby Jayla is an angel.
Sakura is glad Kaitlin is so open and reciprocating of her gesture. She puts an arm around the other woman and faces the house "We like it. It's served the family well. Do you garden Kaitlin?" She asks, walking her to the door and easing her arm off so she has freedom of movement again "We have a great space out back. Hiro's the green thumb. I just get to enjoy his work."
Hiro greets Kaitlin at the door too by reaching out and clasping her hands with an involuntary bow "Welcome Kaitlin. Our house is your house." He lets go after and steps back so he's not impeding entry. He had clapped both Garrett and Ziven on the back each as they passed and looked at Yuki, whispering to Ziven "He found Nemo...and ate him...." Stephanie and Michael had seemed to be resolving a child conflict with Tristan so he had given the two of them their space to do what they needed to but smiled at them knowingly.
Yuki snorts and catches up, coming in behind Kaitlin as she and Sakura pass Hiro "You're an ass...." He said in greeting and hugged his old friend. Hiro just laughed and hugged him back.
Ryan sees the group go in with Yuki at the end and follows once they have Jayla and India is holding her. Everyone turns as Hiro sees them and says "Baby alert! Oh look at her..."
It takes great will power not to swarm and steal the baby as she melts the hearts of everyone in the room immediately.
Kaitlin looks around, soundly impressed. "Oh, no. I never gardened. Oddly, Heinrich got into it after he retired and was VERY good at it." she makes it sound like a miracle of some kind. She smiles at Hiro and keeps herself from bowing, not wanting to insult. "It is lovely. So peaceful."
Ziven chuckles. "No wonder he's so thin." he juts his chin at Yuki. "He should try shark meat." he nods.
Michael grins, watching his mom with the family and looks over at Yuki. "There's an idea. Start serving shark meat!
India walks in with Jaylaa nd smiles, seeing most trying to avoid swarming. "Grandparents first." is the only thing she says, handing the baby to Sakura. Then she heads straight for a couch.
Sakura cradles Jayla carefully and coos at her "Oh you precious angel." She looks at her granddaughter like she's the only thing in the room.
Hiro walks over to them and puts a gentle hand on the baby's head, just soaking in the aura of baby.
Yuki peers at the baby with a twinkly eyed smile "Made a good one kids." He says to India and Ryan. Then he chuckles at Ziven and Michael "Shark? Yeah that'll scare the tourists. they can't eat you if you eat them.....no please come back...I'll double your fries..." He catches Kaitlin's eye and grins at her.
Stephanie circles her parents like a shark, peering at the sweet baby "Auntie's next right Indy?"
Hiro pretends to elbow his daughter "Stay in the line. Grandpa's next...." He jokes and then Sakura hands him the baby and he just melts.
Ryan sits by India watching his family and smiling "Betcha we're off diaper duty all night..." He muses.
Tristan stays by Michael looking curiously at his new cousin from afar.
Kaitlin grins back at Yuki, but moves away from the crowd and towards the new parents. She sits nearby, but quietly watches.
Ziven arches his brows, catching glimpses of the baby around its immediate relatives.
Michael rests his hand on Tristan's shoulder. "Want to meet your cousin?" he asks, softly.
India chuckles a bit. "God, I hope so." she sighs softly and looks at Kaitlin. "You must be Kaitlin." she offers her hand. "I'm sorry I haven't managed to get over there. Been a little busy."
Kaitlin smiles and shakes hands. "Oh, I understand. But if you need anything, please ... I remember how hard it can be with a new baby." she offers. "I know there relatives but ... in an emergency."
India smiles and nods. "Sounds like a deal. Thank you." she's heard a lot about this woman through Ryan and she seems quite nice.
Jayla looks up at people with large eyes not sure whats going on, but content enough.
Ryan winks at Yuki and then smiles gratefully at Kaitlin and nods. He stresses about India alone with the baby even though he's not far away and another person down the hall who cares is a relief. "We both appreciate that Kaitlin. Thank you."
Yuki settles into a chair near Ziven "So....do you treat sharks? " He teases. "Bet they can be a real pain in the ass."
Hiro makes a series of ridiculous faces at Jayla that people only seem to make at babies and then reluctantly passes her to Stephanie's waiting arms.
Stephanie drinks in the baby smell "Oh my goodness you're just scrumptious!" She squeals quietly. She had overheard Micheal and head juts at them to join her "Come here. She won't bite...yet...."
Tristan nods at Michael and then his mother and goes over and looks closer "She's spitting something down her face..." He says looking a little grossed out.
Stephanie laughs "Yeah they do that. You did too kiddo."
Sakura steps away from the baby love and grabs the pizza menu "What kind of pizza do you all like?"
Kaitlin smiles softly and sits watching everyone for a moment before she goes into her large purse and brings out some crocheting. The yarn is in shades of pink and purple and rectangular. "You are very welcome. I have time on my hands now, so someone should get use of it." she smiles as she begins crocheting, glancing up and down from her crocheting to the people around her. "Oh, I can tolerate just about anything on a pizza, I think."
Ziven shakes his head. "I haven't had the privilege." he admits. Mostly land based animals. A few turtles and a couple of pet lizards and snakes. Wilder animals for the Parks Department." he scans the room looking for Garrett, who seems to be missing. "As many vegetables as possible." he orders.
Michael chuckles. "The spit isn't the worst of it." he looks at the little baby. "She IS pretty." he glances over his shoulder. "Got that from Mama." he teases. "I'm for garbage pizza!" he proclaims.
India watches Kaitlin, curiously and then turns in Sakura's direction. "I don't care as long as I can eat it with TWO hands." she jokes and goes back to watching Michael's mother crocheting. She was FAST!
Garrett had slipped away to use the bathroom down the hall and came back seeing less of his family crowding Jayla so he walked up just as Stephanie was setting the baby into Tristan's arms.
Tristan looked nervous and held her a bit stiffly for a few minutes. Stephanie couldn't help herself and felt compelled to take a quick photo before saying "Do you want to pass her to someone else or keep holding her?"
"Pass." He replied in relief and looked at Michael and then at his Uncle Garrett. He also answered his grandmother about pizza "Bacon and mushroom please!"
Garrett deferred to Michael "I can wait if you're ready to take a turn."
Yuki nodded at Ziven and then said "Whatever's going." To Sakura. He noticed Kaitlin's fast work on the crochet with a casual glance.
She was circling and underlining on the paper menu and then saw Kaitlin's project "Oh I've always wanted to learn to do that."
Ryan rubbed lightly at India's back as they sat together watching everyone fawn over Jayla. It was both a nice break but he also felt like he was missing her near them already. Belatedly, he chimed in about pizza "vegetarian is good with me too. And maybe some kind of salad please?"
Michael watches Tristan with the baby and half a grin on his face. At Tristan's 'pass' he looks at Garrett. "DNA before in-laws." he winks and pats Tristan lightly. He only takes Jayla long enough to hand her to her uncle. "You have to learn the faces of all those people besides Daddy who will spoil you." he winks at Stephanie. "You got the pic where he looked like he'd just been handed a ticking time bomb that would go off any moment? That HAS to go in the album."
Ziven laughs and looks at Garrett, curiously. He can't help but wonder how his lover handles babies.
Kaitlin chuckles softly, still crocheting like its a timed Olympic sport. "She might be more fun once she grows up a little." she murmurs, glancing at Tristan. "You're the big cousin. Almost like a big brother. Could wind up as close ad Michael and his brother." she giggles a little. "You looked as nervous as John did when he first held Michael. Of course, Michael is bigger now."
India laughs and looks at Michael. "I just can't imagine you as a baby ...." she muses. "But I can see Jayla admiring her cousin." she smiles, taking advantage and resting as much as she can. Looking again at Kaitlin, she can't help but ask. "What are you making? That's such a pretty color .. the pink and the purple."
Kaitlin glances at India and back at her work, never dropping a stitch. "Oh, I am glad you like the colors." she replies. "It's going to be a sort of blanket. But until she is old enough to have her own bed, it can be used as what they called a privacy sheet. You know so you don't have to wander off and hide in a bathroom or closet to nurse." she smiles. "I am so glad women don't have to do that anymore."
India smiles, looking touched. "Oh thats so sweet of you." she blinks. Technically Kaitlin isn't really related to her or Jayla, or Ryan ... the family is growing so much. She blinks and sniffs.
Tristan sits in the empty chair near Kaitlin "She's so little...." He quietly marvels at the life of babies, forgetting entirely what it was like at his age.
Stephanie giggles at Michael "Oh yes it will. "
Ryan snorts "Mike what was Tamela's theory? That you hatched from some alien pod?"
Yuki cracks up "That's why he's glass proof!"
Hiro had been quiet for some time but now piped up "And he'll be sitting at the opposite side of the table tonight just in case."
Sakura nodded at her husband but laughed too.
Garrett took the baby carefully and looked at her sweetly as he held her like a pro. Both he and Ryan had done lots of it when Tristan was small. Jayla made a little squeak and he parroted the noise back at her.
Michael huffs. "Yes. Alien pod." he rolls his eyes. "I am the result of demon spawn and a beautiful Irish princess." he declares. "And I have a WITNESS!" he looks mock offended. "But I brought the cash to replace any broken windows. I thought I was trusted now." he hitches a mock sob.
Kaitlin laughs. "Well, I don't know about the princess part, but the demon spawn is right on the money." she hasn't stopped her crocheting, but glances up. "But you're STILL my Christmas Angel, Michael." she smirks, innocently.
India begins to giggle a little bit. "That is too cute to be allowed. Christmas angel. Awwww."
Ziven watches Garrett with the baby, impressed. Then he hears the term 'Christmas Angel' and looks at Michael, opening and closing his mouth. In a moment, he finds words. "Oh ... mothers ...."
Micheal snorts. "Where's that damn pizza?" but he grins at Kaitlin.
Yuki slaps his leg "I didn't even have to TELL them. Christmas Angle!" He beams at Kaitlin for bringing it up again.
Sakura had just heard it when she came back in from calling for the pizza and looked at Michael like he was an overgrown puppy "Awww...."
Garrett chuckled as he held the baby and it jostled Jayla enough so she looked momentarily unhappy. He readjusted her and swayed a bit.
Hiro snorted "Oh yeah we trust you Mr. Angel."
Ryan just laughed hard at the whole idea. He knew Michael too well and dared not comment.
Tristen giggled quietly.
Stephanie gave a short laugh and then looked sympathetically at Michael "You want me to save you from this by distracting them with other news?" she asked quietly.
Ziven coughs and then laughs softly, watching the family with interest.
India's mouth falls open and her reaction is much like Sakura's. "Awwwww that is ADORABLE!"
Kaitlin grins at both her son and Yuki. Her crochet hook keeps going, but she pauses to hold it up in front of her, look from Garrett holding Jayla to India and back to work.
Michael face palms and shakes his head in defeat. He moves over to Stephanie and kisses her cheek. "Yes, PLEASE."
Stephanie pulls Michael's arms around her, standing in front of him, almost protectively from the taunting and looks around at the family "Alright, you've had your fun kids. Now we have something to say. Mike and I are getting married, and Mike's adopting Tristan." She waits for it to sink in and she leans back into her beloved.
Garrett's eyes go wide and then he grins, still holding Jayla "Congratulations, all of you."
Tristan walk over to his mom and hugs both of his parents sort of half around their waists from the side.
Sakura was tearing up and when Tristan moves and hugs them she bursts into happy tears. Hiro quietly does the same and puts his arm around his wife speaking for both of them "We're so happy to hear that."
Ryan smiles broadly and nods at them just saying "Good...and congrats."
Yuki gives them all a twinkly eyed smile. This was wonderful for this family. They needed this. He stays quiet as a guest and friend though, just letting them have their moments.
Ziven smiles and nods at the news. He watches Garrett, holding the baby. "Congratulations!"
India perks up. "Oh that's GREAT!!" she pauses. "Big wedding or small wedding?" and she looks at Tristan. He seems so happy.
Kaitlin actually stops crocheting and stares at Michael and his family. "Oh ...." she blinks and drops her crocheting. "Michael!" she begins to cry as well.
Michael hugs his son and Steph and sees the reactions. He looks over at his mother and bites his lip. "I know, mom. I know." he can almost feel her happiness and relief.
Stephanie gets teary eyed at the sight of her parents and Kaitlin crying but isn't sobbing at this point. She smiles lovingly at all of them and then tries to answer India's question "We haven't even gotten to those choices yet India but probably just the people close to us would be my preference."
Tristan eases off his grip on the hug but just kind of leans on Michael, listening to the grown ups talk.
Jayla starts to fuss a bit of Garrett, rooting on him a little and rather annoyed he doesn't have the goods. He chuckles at her "I'm not the droids you're looking for."
Ryan gives the other new family forming a big grin and then walks to his daughter, offering to be transport to the mother ship "Don't let her reach down your shirt, she'll get pinchy on you..." He jokes and brings her to India with a guilty look to end her break "I think she wants you Love."
Yuki watches the family react and the baby go by with a look of contentment for his old and new friends.
Hiro pats his wife on the back as she blows her nose and offers to Michael and Stephanie "We'll help with whatever you need." Sakura nods as she wipes and then passes the kleenex box Kaitlin's way.
Ziven watches the little one be transported from uncle to mother. It was an interesting little family.
India arches a brow at Ryan. "I think she might."
Kaitlin sniffs and takes the kleenex box with a soft thank you not. Dabbin her eyes, she quickly gets her tears under control. She clears her throat and picks up her crocheting. "Half a second, please India." she quickly finishes off the row and ties it off.
Taking Jayla, India juggles her a little. "My union coffee break over?" she glances around and realizes that, besides Michalle and Ryan, no one here has seen her nursing. She'd been pretty free, but now she found herself unaccountably shy.
Kaitlin stands with the blanket. and moves over to India. "Here." she holds it up. "I can cover you and you don't have to go anywhere." she's seen and recognized the look.
India looks up at Michael's mother and smiles. "Thank you. I didn't think I'd get shy." she laughs a little bit, moving Jayla into place, unbuttoning her blouse and setting her daughter to nurse.
Kaitlin loosely drapes the new blanket, made of soft homespun yarn, over the shoulder and baby, tucking it a little under India's elbow. "Oh that makes sense. People can be very modest or very ... well ... not modest."
Jayla settles in, not seeming to care much one way or another about the soft blanket. She settles in to nurse happily.
Michael watches this, setting a hand on Tristan's shoulder. Then he looks at Hiro. "Simple works for me, too" he admits. "I'm only doing this once. Hopefully right."
Kaitlin backs away as soon as the baby is covered an returns to her chair. "You saw how to NOT do it, Michael. And watched your brother do it right." she folds her hands in her lap and rubs them. "Don't worry about him .... that part is over." she smiles at him, and watches the picture her son and this family make.
Sakura gives India a reassuring look "You can nurse anywhere in our home, whatever makes you the most comfortable. If anyone dares object, they can have THEIR supper in the bathroom. It's a natural and beautiful way to feed your baby. I nursed all three of mine. But I understand the shyness. I was shy with my first one but by Ryan, I'm pretty sure half the town saw me do it. He would never let me keep a blanket on him either...." She laughs looking at Ryan "You were determined to look around. You would even waves at people when they stared."
Hiro nods and laughs, concurring.
Ryan blushes and hisses out "Mom!" and then laughs.
Stephanie gives Michael a little kiss on the cheek and a nod to Kaitlin and then laughs at her mother "I remember that. And yes India, you decide what works for you. We'll support your choices completely."
Garrett makes a respectful point of not looking India's way as she's expressing feeling shy about nursing. He sits down by Ziven and takes his hand, looking at Stephanie and Micheal instead.
Yuki does look at India but keep his eyes on her face "It's just how babies eat." He says in a matter of fact tone.
Tristan peer around Michael at the cover up conversation, half curious and half squeamish looking.
Ziven takes Garretts hand and takes in the whole family with a grin.
India chuckles and looks at Ryan. "So curious." she teases. She pulls herself onto the couch completely, sitting Indian style. "Did he fall asleep nursing, but wake up when you tried to take yourself back, like I wasn't done?" she moves side to side a little bit.
Kaitlin giggles. "Well, I don't know about Ryan or Jayla, but Michael did that. Both boys did. Didn't want to be too far from me. Very flattering in many ways."
Michael blushes a little bit. "Mom .. seriously." he looks at Ryan. "We can stick to Ryan's nursing habits, thanks."
Sakura nods "Oh yes." She looks between India and Kaitlin and Stephanie, bonding as women who've all had babes at the breast "But it's all worth it for the health of our children."
Ryan gives Michael a mock glare and then says "I was no Christmas Angel though." in jest.
Hiro snickers "Never living that one down now."
Yuki joins the joke "Don't stick him on top of the tree....it'll go right through the window." He makes a swooping motion with his hand and then a crash noise. Hiro laughs harder now and Garrett joins in too.
Stephanie draws a warning finger between her father and his old friend "Shall we call Nick for YOUR drinking stories? I do believe there was something about a dare that involved streaking naked through town once before jumping in the ocean?"
Hiro and Yuki blush in unison and look a little contrite.
Tristan looks wide eyed at his grandfather and then laughs.
Sakura nods "I could tell the second half of that one but we'd need Nick for the first...if he even remembers...."
Ziven sighs, almost dramatically. "I missed the window treatment." he teases Garrett with a wink.
India nods in agreement, lifting the blanket slightly to peek at her baby, who is still nursing away eyes closed. Then she looks up. "Oh ... so its a family history of drunken antics? More stories, please." she grins.
Michael points at Ryan. "OK, new Dad. I see how ..." he stops when the Christmas Angel thing comes up. "I swear ... next thanksgiving I am paying for my Christmas window in ADVANCE!" he considers. "I wonder .. maybe we could have it over at John's .... Logan will be 19 by then ...." he stops in his planning and looks between Hiro and Yuki, leaning into Stephanie. "God, I love you." and he looks at them again. "I think we shall. Hell, we can even have Nick over again." he looks at India. "Isn't he Jayla's god grandfather? Why isnt he here to tell stories?"
Kaitlin looks intrigued. She giggles at them. "Ah boys." she murmurs, softly.
Garrett nods "Yep...although you had to haul my sorry ass home and I thank you for it."
Hiro and Yuki both hide their faces in their hands, again in almost unison.
Sakura chuckles "We could call Nick if you want. And hey if we'd all fit at your brother's Michael, we can trek out there. Alexandra right? It's been a long time. They have a lovely festival every winter."
Tristan pipes up "And Seamus and I can play. I wanna go back!"
Stephanie looks at her son and then at Michael "You realize he's going to be your cousin now....that's how it works kiddo."
Tristan's smile grows "Cool! There's so many of them...and Jayla of course too." He looks at the baby who he can only see by feet now.
Ryan laughs "Yep, but she can't play with lego yet. You'll have to be patient with that. Come on Mom, just tell it."
Sakura looks around "Hiro and Yuki decided to teach our dear Nick to drink Saki. They were JUST 19, all of them. Nick may have even been underage. There was a party at the community centre. It was still the church then, St. Joseph's. Anglican I think it was. Anyhow, they were out in the garden drinking and one of them got a bright idea....." She looks pointedly at her husband who is trying to become one with his armchair and dissappaear. "I was inside, dancing...because it was a dance and heard a sort of battle cry.....we all went out and saw three bare bottoms running off towards the docks, one tall man, one medium, and one short..." She looks at Yuki, who shrinks down even more. "Rei and I went after them because we figured they might drown, and Hiro almost did. The other two were trying to pull him out when we got there and we helped just in time. Rei debated taking pictures since she had a camera but we decided cold water does enough cruel things to the male parts without the whole town knowing the details..."
Ziven listens and nods, putting an arm around Garrett. "Yup. Next time, I am just going to tranquilize you and prop you in a corner with a lampshade on your head. I will miss NO MORE stories!" he declares.
India smiles and rocks back and forth a little bit. "Layla will want to chew on the legos before she will want to play with them." she predicts. "So you have to help watch out for her, Tristan."
Michael nods. "We'll all fit." he declares. "John knows the firs chief, and we can always just do the thing outside." he looks at Tristan. "And you know, T ... I think Seamus REALLY needs a good Lego partner to keep him out of trouble. Good job for his little cousin." Then he listens to the story, and then looks at Sakura. "Oh ... yes ... it's like ... my birthday and Christmas all rolled into one." he wipes away a mock tear.
Kaitlin listens to it all nodding and giggling like a girl at the story. She looks between the men, but her eyes linger on Yuki a bit longer than Hiro. "Sometimes you DO have to feel pity for males ...." she cracks a grin and looks at Sakura. "But only when they deserve it."
Garrett cracks up at Ziven and leans into his arm, still getting over the story. He's heard it of course, but it hasn't lost it's power.
Ryan just smirks, shaking his head. He loves this story.
Stephanie pokes Michael and laughs hard.
Tristan makes a face. the idea of the naked grown ups is both funny and gross.
Hiro blushes furiously at smiles at Sakura "And you STILL married me."
She walks over to her husband and kisses him lightly after returning Kaitlin's smile "Only when they deserve it."
Yuki can feel Kaitlin's stare and is trying not to look at her as he focuses on the floor looking appropriately embarrassed.
The doorbell rings for the pizza and Sakura spins around to go answer "Saved by food, this time."
Ziven just holds Garret close, stroking his hair, looking thoughtful.
India peeks under the blanked, noting that Jayla has fallen asleep when the doorbell rings. The challenge now is separating the baby from the breast without the baby making an international scandal out of it.
Michael pulls Stephanie close and kisses her. He still feels he has been given a great gift.
Kaitlin looks at Yuki a moment and then tears her eyes away. "Is there anything I can do to help, Sakura?" she asks.
Sakura takes the pizzas and sets them aside to dig in her purse "I've got this part if folks could set the table." She calls back cheerfully.
Hiro stands, looking happy to have a task but waves off Kaitlin "You're a guest. You get to rest." He teases and then pokes Yuki as he passes "Streakers unite?"
Yuki gets up to help his friend "Oh shutup." He quips back, still a bit pink in the cheeks.
Ryan watches India "Is she down?"
Tristan follows his grandpa and Yuki to the kitchen.
Stephanie kisses Michael back like the room and the world have fallen away and they're the only ones there.
Garrett feels Ziven's arms and hand in his hair and watches his sister, and then Ryan. He thinks about his parents too and realizes how truly blessed they all are right now.
Michael kisses Stephanie for a long time before he breaks it. He looks at her for a second and kisses her again.
Kaitlin is halfway up when she is told she's a guest again and sits with a slight chuckle. Then she stands and follows. "I've never watched naked men set a table before." she teases.
India nods. "She is, but I don't know if I dare move her yet." she sighs and rises carefully. "Maybe if I put her in the carrier and have her right beside me?"
Ziven nudges Garrett and stands. "I can help too. If I can stay dressed." he offers.
Hiro was handing Yuki a stack of plates that he almost drops at Kaitlin's words. Hiro laughs at his friend and grins at Kaitlin "Yuki's a little shy sometimes."
Tristan chimes in like he's some kind of expert "It's OK Yuki, I'm shy around girls too." Hiro laughs even harder.
Yuki just clears his throat and walks by to the table, completely beet red and awkwardly puts plates around.
Garrett wiggles his brows at Ziven and whispers "Tease."
Ryan nods "I'll go get it and we can try. If she resists, I'll walk with her first OK?" He knows how much India gives all day when he's at work and he tries to do as much as he can when he's home with her to balance it out.
Sakura walks through the living room with pizzas now and laughs at Stephanie and Micheal "We're gonna eat..if you're ever done there."
Stephanie hears her mother but keeps kissing her fiance for awhile longer and then finally breaks it "I suppose we do need to do that now and then..." she jokes.
India sighs and looks a little nervous as she heads for the table and sits with the baby in her lap.
Kaitlin hears Tristan and Hiro and laughs softly. "Well, I don't have much experience with shy boys." she motions in Michael's direction. "But I will try and be kinder, although that is a LOVELY shade of red, Yuki."
Michael sighs when the kiss is broken. "Just to refuel." he grants.
Ziven chuckles. "You'd know." he murmurs and leads him to the table.
Ryan comes to sit by India, putting the car seat between them "We'll make it work, don't worry Babe."
Stephanie grins at Micheal and then goes to India's other side "You guys have extra adults here too. If you need helpers, we're happy to take her for a bit." She looks at Ryan "I still owe you and Garrett for all the times you walked with Tris so I could get a bite of food back in the day."
Garrett had been blushing at Ziven's reply and nodded at Ryan "Yep, and I'll happily do it again too."
Sakura stacks the boxes on the table "Do what again?"
Ryan chuckles "Entertain the baby."
Sakura beams "Just say the word India. I used to eat with them in my lap too though. Then they grab you and you drop food on their heads, logical consequences." She laughs and then looks at Yuki, who's still blushing "What's with you?"
Yuki sits down quickly and laughs "Nothing."
Hiro hands Kaitlin a stack of salad bowls and makes to follow her with the cutlery and napkins "Ooooh we got him good this time."
Tristan follows them both and then sits near Michael eyeing the pizza boxes.
Ziven chuckles as they get settled. "I think babysitting would be a fine thing to watch you do, Garrett." he looks over at Michael and Stephanie. "So have you two considered your wedding plans?" he asks. "Do I need to start watching my diet so I can look decent in a tux?
Kaitlin smiles softly and looks around, keeping quiet. She offered her services. Ryan's family is also close by and willing to help. It's an enviable family in her eyes.
India nods and smiles. "I don't want to ... I know it's not brushing her off on others, but ... shouldn't I do it all? Me and Ryan?"
Kaitlin looks over at India. "That is overrated. Believe me." she tells her. "If you are allowed the help, then take the help." she isn't' exactly aware of her wording, she has gotten so comfortable.
Michael smiles. "My offer to babysit stands." he tells them. "I really AM good at it, even if I look like the world champion baby dropper." he looks at Ziven and then at Stephanie. "Have we?" he wonders. They hadn't really talked about plans for a wedding.
Sakura opens up the pizza boxes now "OK dig in kids. We're not formal here." She sits down though to let the others take some first and smiles warmly at Kaitlin and adds to her words, looking at India "Haven't you heard the it takes a village idea? We all love Jayla, and we all love you and Ryan. We're family, we're here to help each other." She heard the exact words Kaitlin said but also remembered what Yuki had told them.
Tristan doesn't hesitate and seeks out a piece of bacon mushroom like he's on a life or death mission to get it first.
Garrett defends himself while reaching for a piece of pizza from the nearby everything combo "Hey, I'm a good babysitter. Tristan's a live." He says grinning.
Hiro laughs "Alive, that's impressive Gar." He snorts at Ziven and then also takes a piece from the bacon and mushroom.
Stephanie nods along with her mother and Kaitlin and then answers Ziven "Well we're not religious or anything, so not a church. I guess we could find a hall or a hotel ballroom.....although that seems kinda cliche.....we haven't really figured any of it out." She looks at Micheal and shrugs "Do you have preferences?"
Ryan rubs India's back about the accepting help conversation and then teases Michael "You're on Christmas Angel......And as for the wedding....A room with no glass?"
The Yamada's all crack up and so does Yuki but he pipes up and says "But not a dry wedding because we'll sneak it in like bathtub gin!'
Michael looks at Stephanie. "Someplace with meaning." he murmurs. He pulls his head back as Tristan dives for pizza. He watches his mother, who is not moving, any more than Sakura is. Birds of a feather. Then he snorts. "Smart ass Yamadas." he shakes his head.
Ziven considers, helping himself to the vegetarian pizza. "Well, unless I am totally blind, it began for you two on Falcon Island when Stephanie went to put lipstick on you." he says it casually, as if women do this to men every day.
"Jesus Ziven. Really?" Michael shakes his head and gets some of the everything combo. "HAD to say that LIKE that?"
Ziven half shrugs, looking like as innocent as the sleeping Jayla.
India reaches for the everything as well, and when it is in front of her, mock bounces up and down while clapping like a child. "Oh goody! More Uncle Mikey stories. Yea!!!"
Kaitlin sits still, her hands in her lap, not making a move for any of the food, just watching the interactions, happily. But she looks curiously a her son. Clearly, he had not mentioned the time Stephanie put lipstick on him.
Stephanie cringes "I think that's actually more of a shot at me story...." She laughs and looks at Ziven, shaking her head "Michael was innocently sleeping and I tried to prank him. Then he kissed me and I forgot my whole plan. There, told and done." She reaches for a piece of vegetarian too and looks at her mother and Kaitlin "You know we're vultures if you wait too long..." She pushes the box towards them "Don't be martyrs." Then she thinks about Falcon Island and looks at Ziven with questions "It's like a provincial park though right? Do people get married there? Would you have to book through the parks department?"
Sakura takes the box but hold it out to Kaitlin first, digging her heels in her martyrdom and listening.
Ryan takes a piece of the Everything as it's still close by too and chuckles at his sister "Why lipstick? What not the hand in warm water?"
Stephanie looks incredulous "Because Anna and I were sharing a cabin with him and if the water had worked we'd have to smell the result....and I mighta had some wine..."
Garrett points at his sister "Aha!"
Tristan laughs hard now "Mike would pee the bed! Gross!!"
Yuki chuckles as he chews and glances over at Kaitlin to see if she or Sakura will hold out longer. Hiro watches too, happily eating and looking amused by the story from the island.
Michael appears slightly vindicated. "Then I invited her to breakfast and asked her .. out." and he looks at Ziven, curious himself.
Ziven holds up his hands. "Not a shot at you .. never!" he proclaims. "But it was funny." he smiles and nods. "Sure you can get married there. My friend Jeff married his wife there. And it's a place of meaning for you, which is important. Not that I have a lot of experience with getting married, but ... so I hear."
India smiles and takes a bite of pizza. "Don't care. Love their stories. Even when they DON"T end with naked men or falling through windows."
Kaitlin looks from the box to Sakura and back again a couple of times, then closes her eyes and says, almost as if reciting a mantra. "I am the guest." and finally takes a piece.
Sakura looks like she's very happy with Kaitlin's concession and finally takes a piece herself, laughing "You are. But now you're family too." She pats her on the arm and takes a bite of her own pizza.
Garrett looks highly amused by his sister and Michael "You should totally get hitched there. But put lipstick on him as you exchange the vows."
Ryan cracks up "Yes PLEASE!" He reaches forward and holds up his hand for a high five to his older brother and Garrett obliges and slaps it. Garrett gives Ziven a sweet little look after, thinking about what he said.
Yuki elbows Hiro "And they think we had a wild youth?"
Hiro nods "I know right!"
Tristan laughs as he eats into a little goofy giggle. It's too much for him. It's hard to say which is funnier, Mike peeing the bed or wearing lipstick.
Stephanie rolls her eyes at her brothers and discreetly scratches the side of her face in their general direction with her middle finger when Tristan is looking down giggling. She drops the hand and looks at Michael "It is really nice there, and there's enough cabins to even put some people up....oh my god your brother's family though...we need to do a head count....can people bring tents if we max out on cabins?" She directs the last part at Ziven.
Michael groans. "Nothing more than lip gloss. I'm a redhead. Most colors clash." he rolls his eyes and then considers. "Um .. wow ... yea ... four kids, John and his wife. Her brother Jude isn't a real social animal, so he's bound to pass. Maybe Vincent, Fiona's boyfriend .. no .. if John thinks I'm giving that boy ideas, you'll be a widow before I finish taking my vows." he teases. "Charlotte and her father. All of you ... yea ... tents .. lots and lots of tents ...." he sees Tristan laughing. "And of course, there has to be a kilt for Tristan. I'm sure he has the knees for it." he deadpans.
Ziven chuckles. "Party of 100 on Falcon Island. No problem." he considers. "Oh you know I could TOTALLY do your make up. "Yours too, if you want, Stephanie." he teases them. "I can flame on at will. I just don't."
India eats uninterrupted, for now. "And you know Kagiso will do any music you want. And if you want a song ... maybe I will get some creativity back if its not all sucked out of me."
Kaitlin finished her food quickly, as if from habit. She looks at Sakura with a twinkle in her dark green eyes. "Well, if I am family now, then I can help clean up after this lot." she teases.
Stephanie grins "Small is good. And you can totally do my makeup if you want Ziven." She laughs and then looks between Tristan and Michael now and then asks her beloved "Are YOU going to wear a kilt too?"
Garrett raises a brow at Ziven "Flame on?" He smirks.
Tristan looks confused "My knees? What about my knees?" He's not old enough to be body conscious yet.
Ryan laughs and watches to see where it all goes and then peers around for the salad and points at Yuki and then to the salad in a signed request to pass.
Yuki pretends not to understand Ryan and smiles and nods with a cheeky grin, opening the salad and holding his fork over it like he's going to just eat it all. After a wink he does pass it to Ryan.
Hiro snickers as he watched Ryan and Yuki.
Sakura shakes her head at Stephanie, Michael and Ziven and then looks at India "And I wasn't allowed to make everyone dress up for a holiday picture." She considers Kaitlin's bargaining and then nods at her "Alright." she says with a chuckle.
Michael laughs. "You know I will give you anything in my power to give, baby." he chuckles. "Although ... is it a yukata? Hide more leg?"
Ziven smirks and winks at Garrett. "Now I am wondering if Michael has the legs for ... anything. Then again ... " he looks at the older men. "There all sorts of legs that could be shown off at this thing." he laughs.
India shakes her head and just happily watches. And soon Jayla begins to stir, grunting a bit but not crying. India tries to ignore her. Not to be mean, of course. More to see if she will be alright being near her mother but not in physical contact.
Kaitlin chuckles. "Oh my, that is an interesting idea. Kilts." she shakes her head and looks towards Sakura. "No holiday pictures?" she sounds almost disappointed..
Stephanie makes a face "No Kimonos...male or female. Let's just wear shorts and t shirts?" She laughs and then looks at Ziven "Or we could all dress like Park Rangers and Mom could get her weird Christmas theme early."
Sakura hangs her head but is still addressing Kaitlin "They're rebelling against me. Too many themes." She looks up mischievously "I have pictures from previous years though, and slides...."
Garrett pokes Ziven and laughs "Behave now." then he hears his mother and begs Kaitlin "Don't let her get out the slides....it'll go all night and end up back at all of us as babies in the bath!"
Hiro looks down at his legs in his jeans and says to Garrett and Ziven "I have nice legs. It's why Sakura married me." He smacks Yuki beside him and says to the group as if it's scandalous "Chicken legs." Yuki blushes and then clucks at Hiro and laughs.
Sakura gives her husband a little eyebrow wiggle "Something like that....Park Rangers...hmmmm...."
Tristan calls out "Or Power Rangers!"
Ryan smirks as he eats salad and tries not to get pulled into the madness, sneaking looks at Jayla to see if he needs to scoop her up for a walk. She seems to be stirring.
Michael grins. "I can do shorts, as long as we get married before next winter. Don't believe that crap about red heads being all warm no matter what."
Kaitlin grins and looks at Garrett. "Oh I bet you were a darling baby in the bath." she tell him. Then she looks at Yuki, as if trying to imagine his legs .. and Hiro's before she turns her attention to Sakura. "I would love to and, thanks to my daughter-in-law Colleen, I have pictures of Michael as a baby. The only thing I took from the house was pictures and she scanned them for me while she scanned all the others. Such a dear."
Ziven grins and looks at Michael and Stephanie. "I think shorts and shirts would be better than park rangers ... AND Power rangers."
India glances at her daughter. "You're next on the embarrassing picture taking tour." she giggles and, since Jayla is still sort of restless, she begins to softly sing a lullaby Sakura taught her, although it sounds a little more like the neo-soul she is more accustomed to.
Stephanie grins "I'll bring you sunscreen. I've seen Anna after the beach...I know how it goes." She smiles at the song and looks at her mom.
Sakura looks around her house trying to imagine a life that would make her leave everything but the pictures. Her house was so full of happy memories and love. She almost felt guilt thinking of Kaitlin's and then replied "Glad you got your pictures. We do remember it all but it's still fun to see years later." Sakura gives a nod about the alternate version of her song, looking like she appreciates it.
Yuki gives Kaitlin a kind smile before turning to look at and listen to India. Hiro tilts his head and listens too while he eats his last slice.
Ryan closes his eyes while still chewing his salad. The old familiar song in India's voice and style is perfection to him.
Garrett wipes his hands on a napkin and chuckles at Kaitlin's words to him, blushing a bit and then tuning into the song.
Tristan is aware of the goings on around him but mostly just eats with gusto.
India sings, only half listening to the talk. Jayla settles down at the sound of the singing. Not going to sleep again, but not making any more demands either.
Michael snorts. "Yes. I really don't want a massive sunburn before my honeymoon. Shit. Honeymoon!" he says as if just realizing he'd even want one.
India glances up and, still singing, replies to that. "Consider it a gift from Ryan and me and little Jayla." she's done this at home, talking to Ryan when Jayla was happy with the singing. Because if mom stopped it was not always good times. Once the sentence is out of her mouth, she returns to the lullaby.
Kaitlin smiles at the offer from India and reaches for salad, since it looks the most neglected. She has a large one, enjoying it. "I loved a lot of my boys childhood. We DID have some good times, the three of us." apparently Heinrich was not part of those good times.
Ziven grins and polishes off a second piece of the vegetarian. "Give me a date and I'll set it all up ... including the flight."
Stephanie giggles at Michael and then blinks at India "Sorry, what?"
Ryan's used to India now, still appreciating her though, and just grins at his sister and Michael before watching his little girl with absolute adoration.
Sakura gives India an inquisitive look as well as does Hiro and Yuki, all their heads craning in a slightly the same time.
Tristan sits back like he's slowly coming out of a pizza trance.
Garrett swivels his head between India and Ziven, looking unsure what's happening here.
Michael blinks and just stares at India, unsure he heard correctly. He takes Stephanie's hand.
India stops singing, but reaches down to physically touch Jayla. Looking at Michael and Stephanie, she is very relaxed, the Ebonics flowing freely. "I ain't stuttah." she winks. "We got this. No way we gonna give a honeymoon to Adum and his wive and not you guys too." she smiles. "Anywhere you want to go ... its on us." she looks at Ryans parents and Yuki. "They ... don't know? seriously? You never TOLD them?" she sounds surprised and amused they didn't know she was independently wealthy and so, by extension, was Ryan.
Kaitlin cants her head and then goes on with her salad, amused at India's diction more than her words.
Ziven arches his brows and looks at Garrett's rather confused look. "Seriously? She's India frickin Tor." he's not a die hard fan, but he knows who she is .. or was.
Ryan just grins and shrugs "I tell everyone what I told you....I'm with you for your body." He winks at India teasingly. "What else do they need to know?"
Stephanie laughs "Well I knew you had a lot of albums out and a successful career. I guess that's how it goes. That's still incredibly generous to offer..." She looks a little self conscious.
Yuki just gives a wide eyed nod as if to say well who knew.
Sakura blinks a few times and then laughs "That is what Ryan told us....just like his father."
Hiro gives an impressed nod at India and then banters back to his wife "No, you're with me for MY body right?"
Sakura gives her man a little pinch on the behind and he jumps.
Garrett shrugs at Ziven and then cringes at his parents.
Tristan takes it all in stride and just says "Cool."
Michael laughs. "I knew." he shrugs. "I just never thought ... I mean ...." he smiles. "Thanks India. Really. Now I won't even charge for babysitting."
India laughs and playfully slaps Ryan on the arm. "Baka!" she shows off her Japanese. "Yea ... I'm no Prince but I don't have to work anymore as long as I ain't tryin to live in some big ass mansion with staff and taxes."
Kaitlin giggles a little at the banter. "If you've got it, flaunt it, right?" she teases, sill working on her salad.
Ziven sees Garrett's cringe and snorts. "Hell ... I wasn't attracted to you because you had your MOTHER'S stunning body."
Suddenly, all the Yamada's eyes and Yuki's look between Garrett, Hiro and Ziven in a mix of utter amusement and a little bit of giggly awkwardness.
Garrett reacts with an immediate crimson blush, looking sideways at Ziven.
Hiro is a little slower to react. He grins at first and nods like yeah that's right and then thinks about it and his eyes go wide before he laughs "Oh!"
Yuki almost falls out of his chair now, like a mad little imp "So that's what happens if a guy checks you out?"
Hiro blushes as deeply as Garrett now and there's much more laughter.
Michael laughs richly and grins wide. Hiro's reaction, in particular strikes him.
India begins to giggle. "God I love this family." she announces.
Kaitlin stares between Ziven and Hiro for a long time and then begins to giggle and blush madly.
Ziven looks unashamed. He leans over to Garrett and gives him a one-armed hug and a quick kiss on the cheek.
Garrett leans into the kiss looking truly happier than his family has ever seen so visibly on his face.
Hiro can't help but be a little touched by the sight and then take Sakura's hand and looks at Ryan and Stephanie in turn and reflect "All our children are very loved." He says sweetly.
Ryan beams at his parents and then looks down at Jayla "Yep, and I finally understand how much you love us. It's just immeasurable when you have a child...." He puts an arm around India and gives her a squeeze.
Stephanie finds her eyes watering "Dammit Ryan. I was determined not to cry today..." She says laughing and leans on Michael's arm. Tristan looks at his mother and Mike and gives a little half grin.
Yuki's eyes get misty watching his long time friends and their kids and he sighs "You're going to make me call both of mine..." He laughs with a small sniff.
Sakura squeezes her husband's hand "You big mush ball, look what you've started now." She teases and looks around "Our family is growing in wonderful ways. Now let's go look at some slides that make the kids wish they didn't know us."
Ziven leans his head against Garrett's head and smiles at them all.
Michael grins and winks at Tristan. He arches his brows at Sakura and smiles at the idea of seeing pictures.
India grins and gets ready to stand. "Ohhh yea .... baby pics. I'm not missin THIS for NOTHIN."
Kaitlin finishes her salad and sighs. "They are life." she murmurs and clears her throat. "I can get the dishes, or let them wait." she looks at Sakura. "Because I think I can figure out how to get those pictures of Michael on your television."
Michael blinks. "I beg your pardon?" he looks mildly alarmed.
"Your baby pictures. Oh and when you were older. I'm pretty sure that one where you went streaking down the street naked is in that pile. Oh! And when you decided you were going to go to that nice school in Alexandra with your brother." she chuckles to herself.
Stephanie smirks at Michael "Can't save you from this one...and I don't even want to."
Yuki looks at Michael and then Hiro "See it's not just us!"
Hiro snorts "Yes but much funnier when it's babies streaking, and less likely to get arrested."
Garrett chuckles "Totally gotta see this."
Tristan makes a face "You mean he was naked?"
Ryan laughs "It's OK Tris, sounds like it wasn't a recent picture."
Sakura laughs and laughs "We'll help you with your technology Kaitlin. I think your collection might be the winner today. To the slide show!"
