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?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"...What do you know about alternate dimensions?" Bridge asks as he takes Toby's hand and leads him in to the living room with the others.

Hey, it had worked with Andy and Bron.

[multiple-spawn.livejournal.com]

"...they exist?" Toby tried.

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!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"That's a good start," Bridge says. "Sometimes stuff happens differently in different dimensions. Like, I guess in one dimension, me and your mom had you. In others, we um. Didn't. Do you have a name, by the way?"

[needsaparrot]

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

[multiple-spawn.livejournal.com]

Toby thought about how to answer that for a moment. "Technically? No."

[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."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"..." Bridge hadn't been expecting that. "Then what do we *call* you?"

[needsaparrot]

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

[multiple-spawn.livejournal.com]

"Toby," said Toby. "'Cause of I'm To Be Decided, see?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"To Be... right. Um. You wanna meet your sorta-siblings?"

[multiple-spawn.livejournal.com]

Toby looked very confused. "But I already met them, Daddy. They're at the school and Mommy's making them take showers but I don't have my shower gloves."

[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.

[tinyevilparkers.livejournal.com]

Nick leaned over, wiggling fingers at her. "We had that later." He grinned mischeviously. "We had a tickle-fight first!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Um, yeah. I mean your sorta-siblings from my side of the family." Bridge explains.

Bronwyn's eyes widen in fear that is totally real and not fake at all RLY.

[multiple-spawn.livejournal.com]

Toby's eyes got HUGE. "You mean there's more?" His mommy and daddy had always told him he would be an only child until they got this 'naming' thing down. All these siblings were totally unexpected.
