Room 406, later in evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Wyatt had handwavily found Victoria at Caritas and called Isabel to tell her to meet them back at her room. After getting their daughter cleaned up and settled into the spare bed, Isabel sat down on her bed and sighed.

"This is just preview of what life is going to be like isn't it?"

[For the baby daddy!]

And for a few minutes Isabel really didn't have much to say since she was otherwise occupied. But conscious of the small girl asleep in the other bed, she did reluctantly pull away just as things started to get a bit heated.

"I'd offer to bribe you, but well, small child in the room."

Wyatt gave her a pouty face. "And the disadvantage of being parents makes itself known," he snickered.

"Hopefully in the future we have our own bedroom," Isabel said, closing her eyes and leaning against him. "With a lock. Not that it matters since she can orb. But it's something."

"Can I ask you something?"

[blessed_twice]

"Sure, what?" Wyatt murmured, wrapping his arms around her.

"How did you wind up with another daughter?"

She couldn't help it. She was curious.

[blessed_twice]

"You know, alternate dimensions," Wyatt said, oh so vaguely.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Where things are different," Isabel nodded, recognizing the vagueness. "I get that. What changed? We broke up? Or never got together in the first place?"

[blessed_twice]

". . . not exactly," Wyatt said, trying desperately to think of a subject change.

"You had a fling?"

Not jealous.

Not jealous.

Oh hell with it.

Very, very jealous.

[blessed_twice]

"I didn't cheat on you!" Wyatt flailed.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well then I don't get what the big secret is," Isabel flailed back, trying to keep her voice low so as not to disturb a sleeping Victoria.

[blessed_twice]

"Wynter . . . she. . . ." Wyatt sighed. "She came from a world where Savannah and I never made it back from the past."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh..."

So she was like Pandora Isabel realized. A little girl that didn't have a chance to exist in this particular version of reality. She felt a tiny bit guilty for being relieved by that fact.

[blessed_twice]

"I don't want to think of a world where I didn't get back to you," Wyatt said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No. That would be horrible," she admitted. Except her over-active imagination chose that moment to point out that horrible would have been if he hadn't come back, but Victoria had still turned up. Fandom's cruel way of taunting her with what might have been.

Isabel shuddered and slid her arms back around Wyatt, holding on tightly.

[blessed_twice]

"I love you," Wyatt murmured, holding her close. "So much."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She wasn't going to let go anytime soon. "I know," she whispered. "Love you more then anything. And I'm so glad you're here."

[blessed_twice]

"Me too," Wyatt said. "Especially since we got to see Victoria."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"She's wonderful," Isabel smiled, glancing over towards the other bed. "So cute. And happy. That's important."

[blessed_twice]

"Very happy," Wyatt said, grinning. "It's a good sign for the future."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm almost sad that it's still so far away," she admitted. "I mean with school and everything. It's going to be some time before she's here."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt nodded. "But it means we'll be better able to take care of her and spoil her rotten," he said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Spoil her rotten?" Isabel sighed. "You're going to make me be the bad guy aren't you?"

[blessed_twice]

"Yes," Wyatt said gravely. "You'll be the bad cop, I'll be the good cop. Unless it's time for her to start dating boys, by which I mean never."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You mean you wouldn't want her to meet a guy just like you?" she chuckled. "Why not?"
