Room 406, afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

After Mythologies and Criminal Justice, then a stop at Professor Rogers' office, Isabel returned to her room and waited for Wyatt to turn up for the promised snuggles.

Hopefully she'd be able to stop facepalming before he got there.

The door was open.

After Mythology, Wyatt hid out in his room for awhile until it was time Isabel should've been back. He headed up to her room and stood in the doorway. "Hey," he said quietly.

"Hey yourself," she said, setting aside the laptop and the email she'd been writing to Maria. "Rough weekend?"

[blessed_twice]

"You can say that again," Wyatt sighed, sitting down heavily on Isabel's bed. "What the hell doesn't even begin to cover it."

Isabel slid forward and wrapped her arms around him. Facepalm inducing hook-ups aside, sometimes you just needed a hug. "I was hugely pregnant and the baby daddy was a twenty-three year old, pot smoking slacker. I'll see your what the hell and raise you a get the frell out of here."

[blessed_twice]

"Can I just say I like this life much much better?" Wyatt said, leaning into Isabel and putting his arms around her. "Christian was totally sex-crazed. All he cared about was who he could sleep with next."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm not going to disagree," she nodded. "This is much nicer."

"He at least had good taste though. Hitting on Anders? I, well, Alison watched him in action at the bar." Isabel hesitated for a moment and then shrugged deciding it was probably best to get everything out in the open. "Plus hooking up with Peter."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt facepalmed. "You heard?" he mumbled.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Peter's in my Criminal Justice class," Isabel explained, still keeping her arms around him. "We talked."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt groaned and dropped his head. "That's it, I'm hiding in my room forever," he said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No hiding. It's not like you're the only person that got hit with this," she pointed out. "You just accept and move on."

[blessed_twice]

"So it doesn't count as cheating if it's Fandom weirdness?" Wyatt said hopefully.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You weren't you any more then I was a cranky pregnant chick," Isabel said replied. "It'd be different if it was you. You know, if you'd gone out and gotten drunk and then slept with someone. But since I don't think you went to sleep Friday night planning on waking up as some slutty party guy? How can I say it's cheating?"

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt rested his head on Isabel's shoulder. "I think if you were still the cranky pregnant chick you'd call it cheating," he said with a half-smile. "It's just so weird because I remember it now like it was me with Peter and Troy, even though it really wasn't."

Isabel smoothed her hand down his hair. "I can tell you in excruciating detail what it's like for a baby to sit on your bladder. If, and this is a big huge if, Miss Victoria were to ever become a reality? I think pods need to be an option."

After a moment's silence, she shook her head. "Both? Busy boy."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt had to laugh a little. "My mom, my real mom, said I once used my powers to switch her powers with my dad's -- and gave him all the pregnancy symptoms along with it. But don't get any ideas."

He fell silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Yeah. Not at the same time, though. Although I think he would've liked that."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Nice," she said with a soft laugh. "That must have been something to see."

Isabel moved to stretch out on the bed, tugging Wyatt with her. "Maybe. But it doesn't matter. You're you again. And I'm me. That's what's important."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt snuggled up against her, wrapping an arm around her waist. "I totally agree," he said, kissing her temple. "I want my hot alien girlfriend just as she is."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Isabel replied, nudging one of the hands at her waist just a little higher. "There were some interesting side effects of being pregnant. You might have liked them."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt grinned. "You mean how these were enormous?" he said, filling his hand with her breast.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Obscenely so."

"I love you," she said, just in case he needed to hear it.

[blessed_twice]

He didn't need it, but it was good to hear.

Okay, maybe he did need it.

"Love you, too," he murmured.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel turned her head to give him a slow, gentle kiss. "Stay for a while?"

[blessed_twice]

". . . like you need to ask twice?" Wyatt said, kissing her back.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I didn't think I needed to ask once," she smiled, snuggling close. "But sometimes it's nice to hear."

[blessed_twice]

"I want to stay with you," Wyatt said. "Right here in this bed until we have to go to class. Or eat."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"We can order in." Isabel kissed her way along Wyatt's jaw to his ear and nipped lightly. "And I don't have class till tomorrow."

[blessed_twice]

"I'm free 'til Wednesday," Wyatt said. He winced a little. "Lawyering up. Please tell me Peter's brother doesn't listen to the radio."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh ouch. Yeah, that could be bad," she admitted, propping her chin on his chest as the worry she'd felt about Peter earlier came back. "But he probably has other things on his mind. Whatever happened with Peter this weekend, I don't think it was good. He was pretty unhappy in class today. And it wasn't about wacky weekend hook-ups."

[blessed_twice]

He ran one hand through her hair. "Wherever he was from, it wasn't a good place," he said. "Did you see him at all? He was still Peter, but his face was scarred, and he seemed a lot harder." Pause. Cough. "I mean in attitude. They were rounding up all the people with powers in his world, I think, though when I -- when Christian -- was talking to him, he thought he meant they were gathering up everyone who was gay and imprisoning them."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Despite being worried, Isabel couldn't help but snicker briefly at the unintentional innuendo. "I didn't see him. But that explains some of it. Imprisoning anyone, no matter what the reason, that's not good."

[blessed_twice]

"Yeah," Wyatt said. "His world wasn't safe. Kind of like how I'd be in trouble if I ended up in Salem during the witch trials." He squeezed Isabel gently. "Can we just vanquish all the mean people?" he murmured.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Like I'd be in trouble now. Off island, if anyone found out the truth." Which was something she thought about more often as graduation approached. But she wasn't going to think about it now. Not when she was warm and safe and comfortable with Wyatt. "I like that idea. Only the nice people would be left."

[blessed_twice]

"I'll poke Chris and we can start working on a spell," Wyatt said. "We can send all the mean people to Timbuktoo. Or the moon."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"The moon is nice and far away," she considered. "You should do that. Later. For now? I have some other ideas. Ones that would make Alison happy. Poor girl was a little frustrated."

[blessed_twice]

"Got something in mind?" Wyatt said, nuzzling her neck.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Checkers?" Isabel asked. Ignore the hands that slowly slid under his shirt to rub against warm skin.

[blessed_twice]

"There's lots of jumping in that game, isn't there?" Wyatt said, pressing closer to those hands he was ignoring.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"There can be. If you make the right moves." She might have been making some moves of her own.
