Room 406, Late evening

[izzyalienqueen]

After visiting and having dinner with Cedric and Aiden and then dropping Alexandria off at Jack's, Isabel had stopped by Greg's and picked up Josh. Several movies, paper clip races and a pillow fight later, Josh had finally fallen asleep.

Isabel was sprawled on her bed, wondering if she should ever try to explain this weekend to her mother.

"Oh? Who's his Daddy? And who didn't you sleep with last," Isabel did the math in her head. "Last March?"

"Xander." Parker shook her head. "Figuring it out from what he says, I got pregnant, Xander left before I knew, I went away to get away from my father-- which is a theme-- and then of course, Xander wasn't in contact, because his dimension got cut off. So Nick never met him until yesterday."

"Yeah, I can see where your dad might have a fit," she nodded. "And that makes two for Xander. He and Bridge have an adorable little girl."

"Nick's over there tonight, probably meeting all of them. He seems to be dealing better now." Parker shook her head. "This is so, so, so unfair. I like sex, Isabel! This is not an object lesson I signed up to take!"

"I told Cedric it's like some really bizarre after school special," Isabel replied. "But yeah, this was the best control ever. Still, I like the idea that there's two different versions of me out there that are actually happy, that had a chance to have kids and have a family."

"Some of mine can't happen now, but... I guess. Maybe." Parker closed her eyes. "Except, I was ready to just be Aunt Parker to everyone else, and this is just-- and they're all *nuts*, Isabel."

"That's just Fandom. I'm sure when they're home, they're saner. Maybe." Isabel flippled off the room light and relaxed in the soft light from the star lamp. "If it makes you feel better, you're childless and doing a wonderful job being Aunt Parker for Alexandria. You and Cedric are too of her favorite people."

"Oddly, yes. Plus? I ran into Zero's daughter. Thank you, God, that my kids might be insane geniuses, but they don't have superpowers." She shook her head. "Want to get our kids together tomorrow? Since mine will hopefully not feel clingy and competitive, and some of them might know you too, after all."

"Superpowers?" Isabel laughed. "So she and Peter? That's too funny. And sure that would be fun. I'll get Alexandria from Jack in the morning."

"Works," Parker said in a tired voice. "I've got Revolutions in the afternoon, I'll take the ones that can behave, and leave the others at Stuff if I can't find their dads to take them off my hands. God, this has to end soon."

"I'll see you in Revolutions then. And we'll go take whoever survives and go bowling or something afterwards." Isabel frowned, wondering if the kids would even still be here in the morning.

"Special. See you then, if I don't end up committed to a nice quiet asylum before then."

"Night Parker," she replied. "Sleep well."
