"Told you," I mutter under my breath to Sam as we sit in St Mungo's.
"No, I told you!" He argues, sticking his tongue out at me, streaking soot of the back of his forehead with his hand.
Meredith would kill me probably, I could already hear what would probably be yelled at me about her trusting me to mind Sam for one day, just one bloody day, and I'd got us both in St Mungo's. Of course this wasn't the only reason I didn't want to be here, hospitals set me on edge enough as it was, but having to sit in the one where Maddie worked wasn't doing my disposition any favours.
I snort at Sam, dusting ash out of his hair, "Yeah, you told me to try it."
"Didn't know the spell would backfire, did I? You're supposed to know that sort of thing. What kind of adult are you?" He smirks, wiping a streak of soot on my forearm.
"You're a smart kid, you tricked me," I laugh slightly, trying to wipe the soot back off my arm but not to much good as my hands are even dirtier.
"Did not. Would, but didn't," He grins, "Was cool though."
"Hell yeah, it was," I grin weakly.
"Still telling Mum you've been a bad influence though."
"Yeah, thought you might."

Kaleb hoisted two year old Allie higher into his arms. "Bird!"She squeals happily, pointing out the window then clapping her hands together.
Kaleb can't stop the slight smile tugging at his lips, who knew having a two year old daughter could change his life so much?
"Da?"
"Yes, sweetie?" He asks, trying to keep her from squirming.
"What we doing here?"She asks, craning her neck, looking around the room.
"Quick check up Allie."

"Did you hear that?" Sam's head snaps up and he stares in the direction of the voices.
"Yeah."
"People!" He exclaims, getting to his feet and running through to the other room.
"Sam!" I say after him, getting to my feet and following at a slower pace, just in time to hear him say, "Thank God, thought the apocalypse might have come. Humanity's still okay, isn't it?"

"Don't want a check up." Aliie pouts, crossing her arms and looking sternly at her father.
Kaleb can't help but laugh at his daughter's serious face."Sorry Aliie, you need one. Auntie MJ's not around anymore remember? So you have to see another healer."
She sticks out her bottom lip in distaste."No!"
She announces,"Don't wanna." She spots a boy, behind Kaleb,'S'cuse me, wanna take my place for my check up?"She asks the boy.
"Allison!" Kaleb says, trying to scold her but ends up laughing slightly, his laughter dying on his lips as he sees who's behind the boy."Hey."

"No way!" Sam exclaims, "I'll help you escape though."
I nudge Sam in the back and he shuts up again, suddenly wishing that it didn't look as if I'd set Sam on fire or something, "Uh...hey."

"Aw, poop." Allie pouts again, looking back up at Kaleb,"Do I have to?"
"Yeah, you have to," Kaleb nods, hoisting Allie higher into his arms, then turning his attention back to Ian and the boy,"Uh, how you been?"

Post by Ian Hunt on Nov 20, 2007 20:12:28 GMT
"Poop," Sam snickers.
"Been okay," I reply uncomfortably, ignoring Sam.
Okay besides the whole life thing...
"You?"

"See, told you it was a funny word"
"Shush you." Kaleb laughs weakly,"Been better." He shrugs,"You heard about Jack?" He asks after a moment.

"Yeah," He mutters,"ALways told him if he wasn't care he'd get himself killed."
And that I always wasn't going to be around to look after him.
"He's with mummy, isn't he daddy?" Allie asks, breaking Kaleb away from his thoughts.
"Yeah," He nods,"Up in heaven with your mum." He turns his attention back to Ian,"This is Allie,"

"I figured," I nod, not sure really what else to say.
"I'm Sam," Sam adds helpfully.

"My mum had a cat named Sammi." Allie points out, looking back and forth from everyone.
"He yours?" Kaleb asks.

"I like cats," Sam told her, then pulls a face at Kaleb, "NO!"
"Yeah, what he said," I nod, "He's my-...he's Meredith's," I say, then decide this doesn't qualify as an explanation but can't think of what Meredith actually is in relation to me anyway, "I grew up with her."

"Daddy won't let me have a cat anymore, after Uncle Charlie and Aunt Maddie shaved Uncle Beth's.""Allie giggles.
"Yeah, those two are bad infulences on you." He mutters, then smiles weakly,"So he's basically a younger brother?"

Sam gapes at her a moment, "Have to try that!"
"No," I mutter, "Where you even going to find a cat?"
"Bound to be one somewhere," He shrugs.
I ignore him, shrugging slightly, "Yeah, basically a younger brother. Just...not technically."

"Aunt Maddie says they're are blue cats all over the city!" Allie grins down at Sam.
"Yeah, that's only when she's had a bit too much to drink sweetheart." Kaleb reminds her. "Seems like a good kid, got enough younger siblings for my liking."

"Blue cats? Can you even get them in blue?" He asks suspiciously.
"No Sam," I mutter, ignoring the slight ache at the mention of blue cats for some reason, refusing to acknowledge that actual reason.
"Yeah, he's a good kid, arrogant smartass but good kid," I shrug.

"My Uncle Nate says you can get them in rainbow colour too." Allie grins, nodding her head.
"That's just 'cos he paints them that." Kaleb mutters under his breath.
"Does not!"Allie protests.
"Does so." Kaleb says, keeping his attention of Ian and Sam."So, what happen to you two?" He asks, notcing how dirty they were.

"Does he let you paint cats too?" Sam asks, wide-eyed, "All my aunts are bitches."
I nudge him in the back and he grins guiltily.
"Wand backfired, his fault," I answer.

Allie nods.
"Only when no one's looking," Kaleb mutters under his breath.
He grins slightly"Must have been a real shock when thath happened,"

"It shouldn't be a shock, probably should have known it would happen," I grin weakly, "He got the worst of it."
"I told him not to do it." Sam says seriously to Kaleb.
"Liar."

Kaleb laughs, setting Allie down, as she kept squirming in his arms,"Okay, okay.I get it." He says, keeping an eye on her."Nothing's broken I hope, you two just look really dirty."

Sam's already distracted again, looking down at Allie as he puts her down, "You're quite small," He grins at her.
"Yeah, little singed but okay," I grin slightly, "You're just here for a check-up?"

"Well duh!" Allie says, putting her hands on her hips,"I'm only this many." She says, holding up two fingers.
Kaleb laughs slightly."Ravenclaw material that one," He chuckles, the nods,"Yeah, she's been sneezing a lot lately, just a cold probably."

Post by Ian Hunt on Dec 4, 2007 22:15:20 GMT
"Ha," He grins, bending down and moving her fingers so there are seven up, "I'm that many."
I laugh slightly, "Yeah, apparently so. Probably just a cold, yeah."

Allie frowns, trying to figure out how many fingers she had up. Counting was not her strong suite. "Eight?" She asks Kaleb, looking up at him.
Kaleb chuckles slightly, looking at Ian,"See what I mean, natural Ravenclaw." He jokes, before turning his attention back to Allie.
"Close baby, seven."
"Oh!" Allie says nodding as if she knew all along,"Your as old as my cousin Johnny." Allie tells Sam.

"I'm nearly eight! I'm seven and ten months!" Sam grins proudly, "I'm as old as your cousin? That's really really reeeaaally cool!"
I laugh slightly, "Yeah, obviously Ravenclaw material."

"I'll laugh if she really does get into Ravenclaw." Kaleb grins.
"Yuppyupp! 'Cos then I'll be a birdie! Like Auntie Row-Row." Allie grins,"That's Johnny''s mummum." She nods as a matter of fact.

"Ah, it could happen," I grin slightly.
"My mum's a birdie and my dad was too!" Sam exclaims.

"Where there's a will, there's a way, after all."
"My daddy's a lion," She grins,"Roar!" She laughs, jumping forward towards Sam.
