MCA #0: Monday Night

[needsaparrot]

Between his alternate self's son with Parker, some alternate Bridge's son with Marie, and the much more surprise appearance of a daughter who Xander was still having trouble believing was possible, he was operating completely on go-with-the-flow logic at this point.

So after a long afternoon in the Park with all three of them, and calls to certain people's alterna-moms, MCA #0 had suddenly turned into YMCA #0 for the night. The couch in the living room was folded out into a bed, extra sleeping bags were strewn on the floor, popcorn had been popped, and hot cocoa was currently waiting to cool down.

That was about when a knock sounded at the door.

"I'll get it!" Bridge says, jumping up before any of the kids do.

"Hello?" Bridge calls out as he opens the door and... doesn't see anyone there. Until he, on a hunch, glances down.

And sees a tiny kid with gloves. Oh. Well. He really, really *hopes* this is his and Z's kid, and he doesn't have another one out there. "Uh, hey. You... wanna come in?"

Toby flung himself at Bridge's legs. "Daddy! I found you!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"...Hi there," Bridge says, because there's really not a lot you *can* say to that. "Um. Weird question. Who's your mom?"

[multiple-spawn.livejournal.com]

"Officer Z Delgado-Carson," Toby told Bridge. "Silly Daddy."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good," Bridge says. As weird as the concept of having a kid with Z- Z! is, at least this means there's not *another* potential future offspring of his wandering around Fandom at the moment. "Wanna let go of my legs so we can go inside?"

[multiple-spawn.livejournal.com]

Not really, no, but Toby did as he was asked because he was a good boy. "Why're you here and not with Mommy?"

Nick came out of the bathroom with his Guy That Flies pajamas on, and settled onto the couch. "We had popcorn last night too." He grinned wickedly. "And we shared it!"

[needsaparrot]

Xander raised an eyebrow at his expression. "With who?"

[tinyevilparkers.livejournal.com]

"Mr. Blair and his daughter. They were asleep when we got there. And Jeffrey's dad." Nick grinned. "We left it in his bed for him. And on the floor. And other places."

[needsaparrot]

Xander facepalmed. "Just tell me it wasn't caramelcorn."

[tinyevilparkers.livejournal.com]

"Mom didn't want us to ruin our pillowcases with that. Or buttered stuff."

[notlostyouare]

"Buttery is bestest!" Bronwyn wiggles her fingers at Nick.

Later (Oh so very much later) That Night...

[notlostyouare]

Bronwyn pulls her sleeping bag up to her chin and reaches for her froggie. Even though it's not her froggie yet, it's Daddy's froggie still. On the other side of her is Tedgiraffe, where he's sposed to be, Oh Em Gee.

"How comes you were makin' Zilla n' Tedgiraffe sleep so far away?" she asks Bridge.

Re: Later (Oh so very much later) That Night...

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Um," Bridge scratches his head. "Because Ted Giraffe lives with me still," he offers. "And I've gotta stay back at the dorms most of the time."

Re: Later (Oh so very much later) That Night...

[notlostyouare]

Bronwyn considers this. "Don't you get lonely? I always sleep with Tedgiraffe and Zilla and you always sleep with Daddy."

Re: Later (Oh so very much later) That Night...

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge smiles down at her. "I do, yeah. But... you know how we got Ted and Notzilla in the first place, right?" he asks.

Re: Later (Oh so very much later) That Night...

[notlostyouare]

"At th'fair?"

Re: Later (Oh so very much later) That Night...

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Bridge nods. "I won Notzilla for your daddy, and he won Ted for me. And since Ted was a present, that means he's special, so he stays with me in my room to keep me company since your daddy can't."

Even *Later* That Night

[needsaparrot]

There are...sounds... coming from the kitchen. Xander sits up slowly from the pile of blankets he's sharing with Bridge on the floor by the couch, rubs his good eye, and counts. One, two, three, Bridge.... ahhhh.

He quietly detangles himself and gets up to pad over there in his socks. "Is there a burgler in here?" he whispers, poking his nose into the kitchen.

Bronwyn is frowning up at the food replicator.

"The Synth'tron is different," she complains.

Re: Even *Later* That Night

[needsaparrot]

"Like the one in Bridge's room?" Xander asks, coming over to stand behind her. "Yeah, this one's different. I'm still trying to figure it out myself."

Re: Even *Later* That Night

[notlostyouare]

"Uh huh," Bronwyn nods. "The buttons is all in the wrong places. And the one for cupcakes is missing."

Re: Even *Later* That Night

[needsaparrot]

"I think maybe that one disappears after bedtime except in case of emergency," Xander says thoughtfully, studying the buttons. "You think this is an emergency situation?"

Re: Even *Later* That Night

[notlostyouare]

"Course it's a 'mergency," Bronwyn says. "I gotta have a cupcake and there aren't any! If that's not a 'mergency I dunno what is!"
