The Apartment, Cambridge MA- Saturday afternoon

[can_be_more]

Aeryn generally had one day off a week, and she was especially glad for it today. Talyn had been up most of the night seemingly for no reason and going in to work today would have been Interesting. Of course it meant he was tired now, and was sleeping comfortably which Aeryn knew because she was still getting up from the living room often to check on him.

Someone should probably stop her before she wears tracks in the carpeting.


[Open for calls, E-mails, whatever look I don't care, I just know I'm probably gonna be here in bed all today and demand entertainment.]

Anakin decided to make a call up to Connecticut.

Funny how that made Aeryn's phone ring.

[can_be_more]

It was also kind of funny how she kind of made a mad dash for the phone and answered, "Ring quieter," like it was his fault.

He totally called Masssachusetts, too. Wtf, self.

"If I knew how to do that, I would," he promised. "Hi there."

[can_be_more]

"Hi," she said, closing the door to the baby's room before going to sit down. "I haven't heard from you in a while." Okay, it was all her fault, but still.

"Strange how a baby changes things like that," Anakin teased. "He's asleep?"

[can_be_more]

"I should hope so, he was up for most of the night," she said. "Which probably means he'll be up all night tonight, too, but that means it's John's turn."

"I'm sorry," Anakin said. "I should probably come visit so that I know how this works, huh? I got Luke when he was eighteen and sleeping through the night."

[can_be_more]

"You should visit anyway, but if I could learn it, I have a feeling you could," she admitted.

"Rory and I could come up and give you and John a night out," Anakin offered. "Talyn and I will be good friends until he's replaced by the most beautiful and brilliant child on this planet."

He was sort of kidding.

There was silence, because Aeryn was glaring at her phone.

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed. "Aeryn, I'm sorry. I shouldn't tease when you're tired."

[can_be_more]

"I wouldn't tease when you're not the one who gets to go through labor," she corrected.

"I've gotten limbs cut off. It's probably similar?"

[can_be_more]

"Something tells me it's different. And goes on much longer. You don't want to know."

"I have books that go into extensive detail," Anakin admitted.

He was totally going to be the guy correcting the doctor.

"...Really?" She hadn't read a thing. In large part because she was not exactly the literacy poster girl.

Alanna had decided that since she was in the modern world she might as well call people. Aeryn was first alphabetically.

[can_be_more]

Returning from checking to make sure the baby was still asleep, she picked up to stop the ringing before it woke him up. From now on, setting the phone on vibrate. "Hello?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Aeryn?" Alanna said, hopping she did this right.

[can_be_more]

It took her a second to recognize the voice over a phone. "Yes. Alanna?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"So..." Alanna paused. "How have you been?"

[can_be_more]

"Busy." That was a good word for it. "Very busy. I got your last letter, I'm sorry."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Longish pause. "Yeah. What have you been up to?" She wasn't sure if she asked that already.

[can_be_more]

"Work and baby," Aeryn replied. "And sometimes I see my husband."

Alanna blinked at the phone. And then blinked again. "You have a baby?"
