Room 313, Saturday evening

Jaina was still not usd to this whole mom to alternate universe children thing (and it had to be an alternate universe, because cute as they were, she was not going there for a very long, long time), but the thing that surprised her most was how easily the twins had accepted why John and Jaina didn't know them. Good to know Fandom could train future generations for weird.

Since they'd be camping out in John's room, fort and all, Jaina decided she'd just grab some things from her room now so she wouldn't have to keep going up and back. And she had Jaryd accompanying her, since he was already bored and wanted to wander and she wasn't sure she wanted to see John left alone with both of them for that long anyway. Which was why she was sort of really hoping this very temporary.

[For the kid, and if the roomie wants to ping in before they leave.]

"Is this your room?" Jaryd asked, looking around and paying specific attention to Inara's side of the room. It didn't look like his mom's style.

"One of many," she said, getting her small bag out to throw a change of clothes or two in. "I have a room here, and at my parents' apartment, and on the Ralroost."

And it was wrong to try to get future information out of a kid, but she had to. "What about you? A lot of rooms?"

"Yeah," Jaryd admitted, pulling out the desk chair to try and climb up on it to see what was on it. "But I can't get sick of anything."

Jaina smiled a little. "Nice use of optimism there," she said.

She didn't get the chance to say anything else, since that's when her comlink trilled. "Hold on, kid," she told him, setting it to display the holo.

And it was just her luck that the person on the other end was her own twin. "You said to call the day before our birthday so you would actually know," he reminded her after saying hi.

Jaina didn't get a chance to respond again, but this time it was due to Jaryd hopping off the chair to stand next to her and yell, "Hi Uncle Jacen!"
solo_sword: (arrgh!!!)

Jaina rubbed her hand over her forehead and tried not to wince as there was a long pause, and Jacen said, "Um, Jaina? What's going on?"

"It's Fandom," she replied. "Tell Mom and Dad and I kill you. So birthday, huh?"

Inara was looking a little shell-shocked as she walked into the room, Anya trailing behind her, studying her surroundings carefully.

"You too, Jaina?" Inara asked, spotting her roommate and the unknown child with her and hoping it was a correct assumption. "This is Anya. Darklighter."
solo_sword: (understated)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2008-04-27 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Hi, Anya. I'm so glad it's not just me," she admitted, not wanting to try and compare Anya to the kids she knew her version of Gavin had. Especially since she wasn't sure which of his were adopted. "I've got twins. This is Jaryd, and Jordin's upstairs with her daddy."

No, she didn't lose the teasing tone even when she wasn't saying it to John.

[identity profile] ambassadorinara.livejournal.com 2008-04-27 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Hello, Jaryd." She raised her eyebrows at Jaina and mouthed John? at her in a question. "I'm Inara. Twins? Is that very common?"

Anya waved, then went over to investigate Inara's side of the room. Some of her stuff was different.
solo_sword: (attentive)

Jaina nodded at her guess, and said, "Third generation in my family. Consecutively. He's an hour younger."

Meanhile Jaryd was investigating the open closet.

"At least they can keep each other occupied?" Inara asked, beginning to see some humor in the situation.
solo_sword: (cute over the shoulder)

"If they're anything like me and Jacen, that's not a great thing," Jaina said.

Jaryd stuck his head out into the room and insisted, "I'm the good one!" No, he wasn't.

[identity profile] ambassadorinara.livejournal.com 2008-04-27 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm the good one and the bad one," Anya called across the room at Jaryd. "Is it hard just being good all the time?"

Inara rolled her eyes at Jaina. "Did you two get into much trouble?"
solo_sword: (concerned)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2008-04-27 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
"No!" Jaryd called back, since it's not like he knew. "There are a lot of dresses in here," he added, making a face and then stumbling out of there like he was trying to get away from the icky girl stuff.

"We did," said Jaina, keeping one eye on "the good one". "I'm hoping it's not cosmic payback."

"It's because girls wear dresses," Anya explained (a bit loudly), as she wandered over to look at the pretty ones.

"How's John handling it?"
solo_sword: (over the shoulder)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2008-04-27 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Mom doesn't, 'less it's for a disguise or a stupid ball," Jaryd insisted, not knowing how many of those dresses were in fact Jaina's.

"In need of caffeine," Jaina said, "but he seems pretty okay. He volunteered to let them stay in his room, so I'll be up there till this gets resolved, and he's talking about forts and playing." And she didn't want to admit out loud that she sort of thought he was adorable with them. "How's Gavin?"

[identity profile] ambassadorinara.livejournal.com 2008-04-27 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
"My mom wears them all the time," Anya said proudly. "I like the sparkly ones best."

"He's..." Inara shrugged, "It was a bit of a shock, obviously, but he seems to be handling it better than I am, honestly. Children aren't exactly something Companions are trained to expect to have."
solo_sword: (waiting)

"But it's harder to kick people in dresses," Jaryd said, and hearing that, Jaina almost corrected him by saying that no, it depended on the dress and what else you were wearing, but now was not the time and she'd probably listened to Mara too well.

Turning her attention back to Inara, she asked, "Ever?"

[identity profile] ambassadorinara.livejournal.com 2008-04-27 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Uh uh," Anya said, having no such problems, "You just need to practice kicking in a dress so you don't trip and fall over. A lot."

Not that she'd ever done that, of course.

"Not generally, no," Inara said, trying not to be amused by her offspring, "With our current contraceptive technology, it is also highly unlikely." She glanced over. "I must have wanted her very much."
solo_sword: (listening)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2008-04-27 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm glad I don't have to wear them. I don't have to practice anything!" Jaryd said. It was nice to know the battle of the sexes raged on always, even when it came to kicking people in skirts. He paused. "Except Jedi stuff. I have to practice a lot."

"I mean, I can see why," Jaina said, turning to look at the kids. "Wanting that sort of thing, it's normal."

[identity profile] ambassadorinara.livejournal.com 2008-04-27 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
"You know Jedi stuff?" Anya was trying desperately not to be jealous about that, but ended up doing a bit of bragging herself. "My daddy's a pilot."

Inara was now looking at Anya in a very different light. "I guess so. Just not quite so soon, hopefully."
