Room of Handwaviness, Arms Hotel, Early Saturday Morning

[the_merriest]

Today? Today was Reno's birthday. He wasn't a teenager any more. She was going to tease him a lot about being oooooold.

When he woke up. Because they were celebrating in Fandom this weekend, since his home was kinda depressing (no offense) and her home had everybody in everybody else's business (downside of living in a commune of sorts) and neither would allow for a nice, relaxing weekend spent cuddling and not ever getting out of bed, ever.

Rikku was mostly asleep, and trying to convince herself to go back to all asleep. And wondering if Reno was up. She'd trade "back to sleep" for "morning gropey times" if he was. She was flexible like that.

(Reno modded with permission. THIS POST IS FOR: Reno, and anyone who might call Rikku or Reno frantically to panic about their AU sprog. Nice, relaxing weekend? Fandom laughs at this idea! Wait for ze OCD!)

"What, he's gonna fire you over a maybe?" Reno managed to tame the chuckling, for the most part. "Or is this a for sure? You hid that pregnancy real well, Rookie. Rude an' I never even suspected."

Special hell had a place reserved for Reno.

"Please. That would require Tseng actually --" Elena started. She didn't get to finish.

Hey, look! PHONE! Veld was gonna STEAL IT. Swipe!

His phone! Scoooooore. He was going to push a few buttons on the keypad just like Mommy did and then put it near his face.

"He-yooooooooooo?"

See! He knew what to say to phones!

"Oh, sweet mother of Titan. Who the hell let you be so damn cute, huh?" Reno was going to pretty much have to demand to meet this kid when he got Elena back on the line. "You got the phone, kiddo? You totally snatched a Turk's phone right outta her hands? You're a friggin' natural, squirt."

"Turk!" He knew that word! He was going to say it again and again and again! "Turk turk turk! I smooshy bah-nah-nah anna padah I go iffy boo cah danna flah! Uh-oh! Anna BOOM!"

See? He totally knew that was Reno. Reno meant boom! He liked boom.

He smooshed a banana and a panda?

"Boom," Reno laughed, grabbing on to the word out of all of those words that he was fairly certain they both could relate to. "Damn right, kid. Turks make things boom."

"Booooooom!" he said, squealing happily. "Mum-mum-mum-mum-mum."

And that seemed to be the cue for the mum-mum-mum in question to wiggle the phone back from her ... from the baby who was in the room with her and for some reason, called her 'mum.' Complete mystery why.

"What do I do now?" she said, staring at the wee one. "I don't even know his name."

She hadn't named him Tseng Jr. or anything lame like that, had she?

"Best as I can figure, Rookie, you feed him when he's hungry an' clean him when he shits."

Reno sounded entirely too chipper when he said that, yes.

"Yeah, you'd be a great father," she grumbled. "I mean, do I call him? I have to, don't I? I don't know for sure, I mean, it could be some other Wutaian guy."

A moment while she caught up. "What exactly do you feed them?"

Re: Reno's Cell!

"... Try baby food?"

Reno was pretty certain they made that stuff. He'd sort of stocked up on a little bit of everything that ever existed for babies, that one time Rikku had called him in a frenzy over Jan.

"And anyhow, how likely is it you're gonna get knocked up by some random Wutaian guy?"

Re: Reno's Cell!

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"You really think Tseng's more likely?"

It was Tseng.

She was going to scribble this down somewhere. Baby food. There were stores in town. Someone could help her. She hoped.

"Hey, sweetie, be careful with the kitty, okay?"

Rookie ... seemed unfazed. And Elena needed a nap.

"This is Fandom, Elena. Likely ain't got nothin' to do with it." Reno shrugged, not that she could see. "Take a head count of the kids around the island this weekend, you'll find kids that got two mommies, two daddies, parents that ain't never gonna meet. Parents that ain't never gonna get the chance. I'm willin' to bet that the odds are, the kid currently tryin' to eat Rookie is Tseng's."

Fandom liked to get its shits and giggles that way.
