spamalot } { of mother's day and surprise sons
Liam: [so he and Derek came up with a plan. Derek took the little ones out so that Mommy could sleep in for Mother's Day. Liam would give her some sleep time, and then he would arrive with breakfast for him and Fiona to have some one on one time before the rest of the family came back. So he would sneak into the loft and set up breakfast in the living room, and then sneak into his parent's room and kneel down, poking his mother gently]
Fiona: [grumbles because her husband was supposed to have a contingency plan for this] Jake, go bug your dad. Mommy's sleeping in.
Liam: [trying not to laugh as he pokes her again]
Fiona: [grumbles again and rolls away towards Derek's side of the bed because her youngest son has tiny arms]
Liam: [and he will bite his lips a moment, debating on it before getting up and trying to crawl into bed after her]
Fiona: [and what the actual ... she rolls around in surprise and her eyes widen when she sees who's there] Liam!
Liam: [bright grin] I don't fit in the bed with you like I used to anymore.
Fiona: No, you don't, but what are you doing here?
Liam: I'm here to have breakfast with my mom on Mother's Day.
Fiona: I had no idea you were coming.
Liam: I know. Only Dad, Uncle Peter and Nadia knew.
Fiona: You and your surprises are going to give me a heart attack.
Liam: Nah, it keeps your heart pumping and keeps you young.
Fiona: [rolls her eyes] How long are you here for?
Liam: Technically I can stay however long you want me to. I will just start getting pouty face texts from Landon if I don't come back by Tuesday night.
Fiona: Fair enough.
Liam: And Landon said that forever is not an option otherwise he's moving back in too.
Fiona: We don't have the room. Jake's gonna want his own room soon.
Liam: Well, I guess that means you have to let me go eventually. But first, I did bring breakfast. It's in the living room.
Fiona: Oooh. Breakfast sounds great.
Liam: Want to join me on the couch, or do you want it in bed?
Fiona: No, we should probably eat on the couch like civilized people.
Liam: We're civilized? [and he will hold out a hand to help her out of bed]
Fiona: Occasionally we try to be. [will take that hand and make her way out of bed towards the living room]
Liam: [and there's coffee and her favorite breakfast stuffs]
Fiona: [mmmm coffee, she's going to start there]
Liam: [you do that mom, he's going for the bacon. Growing werewolf and all]
Fiona: [of course he is] So how are things going in New York?
Liam: Good. We're having fun and I haven't done anything to bring shame upon Uncle Victor. [grins]
Fiona: [she laughs] I appreciate that, given what a pushover he can be.
Liam: I make sure I go over and check in with him once a week. Landon works enough nights that I am always available for Leah to feed me.
Fiona: I'm sure she appreciates that too.
Liam: Also, something weird happened the other day.
Fiona: What kind of weird?
Liam: So I was taking my jog and this guy flagged me down and told me that I have a great ass. [yes, he will give you time to spittake, mom]
Fiona: [chokes on her coffee before shoving at Liam's shoulder]
Liam: [smirks] So I'm about to tell him that I'm taken, but he pulls out a business card and he's from some fancy fashion designer looking for models for fashion week and wants me to come down and interview.
Fiona: You're going to be a model?
Liam: I dunno. I mean, it'll be something to do...
Fiona: That world can be intense.
Liam: I know. But not anymore than competitive dance. And I feel like a dance mom sometimes.
Fiona: I get wanting to have your own thing - but are you sure you want modeling to be that thing?
Liam: I don't know. That's why I thought I could try it and see if I liked it.
Fiona: Well, just be careful. There are a lot of people who could take advantage of you.
Liam: [nods] I know. And I'll sic Landon on them.
Fiona: Okay. [she's not sure that's the greatest back up plan, but she'll take it?]
Liam: And who knows, maybe one day I'll be on a big billboard and you can point at it and say "that's my son's abs" [smirks]
Fiona: [shakes her head] I think I'll pass.
Liam: Thanks for your support, mom.
Fiona: I'm sure your abs are just fine, I'm just not sure how I feel about other people objectifying them.
Liam: You actually get over it after awhile. As long as they don't touch it in front of you.
Fiona: [squints]
Liam: What?
Fiona: Nothing. I just need time to get used to the idea.
Liam: And that's if I even do it. I might not. Or just like get into winter clothing.
Fiona: You could do that too.
Liam: So enough about me - tell me what I've missed.
Fiona: [and she'll talk about Lucy and Jake at school and Cora with the new baby]
Liam: [and he will listen, smiling because he does miss his family when he's gone]
Fiona: [yep, and when she reaches the bottom of the deets machine ....] And yeah. I think that's it.
Liam: Well, then I guess I can go home since we're done. [teasing]
Fiona: [she laughs] I think you have to go see your grandmother and your sister first.
Liam: Well, I'll see Lucy in [looks at his phone] ten minutes? Grandma I'll see at dinner tonight.
Fiona: Good. If you want to go up and see the new baby before the little ones return, I could probably use a shower.
Liam: Alright, I can do that. [he sees what you're doing here, mom, so he will clean up and go upstairs to where Stiles made breakfast with Dina while Ben helped count berries]
Cora: [and she either has the baby or is sleeping depending on how generous her husband is feeling this morning]
Stiles: [oh he is entertaining all the kids. The baby is totally sleeping against his chest in one of those infant baby holder thingies]
Cora: [oh good so she is totally out in bed still. yay sleep.]
Dina: [and she will go to answer the door and smile] Liam!
Ben: [looks up from the table] Hi, Liam!
Stiles: Hey Liam. Home for Mother's Day?
Liam: [picking Dina up and swinging her around in a hug before walking over] Yeah, surprised mom. I heard the baby arrived. How's Aunt Cora doing?
Ben: Mommy's sleeping.
Liam: [goes to ruffle Ben's hair] You helping make breakfast for her?
Ben: Uh-huh.
Liam: Good job. It'll make her very happy.
Ben: Yep. [and he'll keep counting his berries]
Liam: [and he will go over and look at the baby attached to Stiles] You know, if it wasn't for Dina, I'd be worried about you and Scott being unable to produce female heirs.
Stiles: It's a fifty fifty thing, kiddo. Not something I can control.
Ben: I like having a brother.
Dina: Of course you do. I wanted a sister this time.
Ben: [wrinkles his nose] Girls are weird.
Dina: You're weird.
Stiles: Kids, please.
Ben: Daddy, can I go wake up Mommy now?
Stiles: [looks over at the clock] Okay, but quietly. Don't jump on her.
Liam: Here, I can tell you a great way to do that. [and he will give Ben the plan of poking and crawling into bed]
Ben: [looks dubious of this plan] I don't think that will work.
Liam: You can try it.
Ben: I can't get into Mommy and Daddy's bed by myself. Its too big.
Liam: I can help.
Ben: Okay.
Stiles: [rolls his eyes and hands Dina the last waffle to decorate]
Liam: [and he will carry Ben into the bedroom, silently entering and helping Ben get into the bed]
Ben: [and he will crawl over and lie down next to Cora who is awake from the jostling but is playing dumb because it's Ben. and in a loud stage whisper:] Mommy?
Cora: Mmmmm?
Liam: [makes a poke her motion from where he is]
Ben: [looks unsure but reaches forward and pokes her gently] Mommy it's time for breakfast.
Cora: What's for breakfast?
Liam: [sniffs the air] Waffles and Bacon. [hi, he's here too]
Cora: [she knows that, she has a working nose, but her eyes will actually open now] Hi, Liam.
Liam: [and he will wiggle his fingers in hello] Happy Mother's Day, Aunt Cora.
Cora: [hums as she loops on arm out to catch Ben and pull him in against her chest as he giggles and tries to wriggle out] Come home to see your mom?
Liam: Mom and grandma, yeah. She's taking a shower and thought I should come up and say hello and meet my newest cousin.
Cora: Well, it's nice to have you home.
Liam: It's nice to be home. How are you doing?
Cora: Tired all the time, but otherwise I'm okay. How's New York?
Liam: It's alright. Still getting used to it.
Cora: The east coast is a very different place.
Liam: Landon has a lot of friends.
Cora: Is that good or bad?
Liam: It's good. I have people to talk to and get blackmail stories from.
Cora: That sounds very good.
Ben: Mommy we need to go eat waffles!
Cora: [she laughs] Alright, Benny. Alright.
Liam: Come on, Ben, let's let your mom get up and do what moms do before they come to the kitchen.
Ben: Okay. [and he scrambles over to Liam to slide off his mom's bed]
Cora: I'll be down in a couple minutes.
Liam: I'll let Stiles know. [and he'll pick up Ben and tuck him playfully under his arm as they go to head back downstairs, where breakfast is ready]
Ben: [laughs as he supermans down the stairs]
Stiles: [and he is lifting Alex to put him in the little infant bouncy chair thingie] So how long you staying, Liam?
Liam: A few days. Up to mom, really.
Ben: [toddles off to go play with Chewy while he waits for breakfast]
Dina: Dad, everything is going to get cold. [the little perfectionist]
Cora: Don't worry, I'm coming. [as she comes down the stairs]
Stiles: Patience, kiddo. Mom gets to take as much time as she wants today.
Cora: [makes her way over to the table] Everything looks great.
Stiles: Well, I made the waffles and bacon with Dina's expert advice, and Ben helped count the berries and decorate them.
Cora: I love it. Thank you, guys.
Dina: Happy Mother's Day!
Cora: Thank you. Let's eat.
Liam: [and he is totally making faces at Alex since he isn't actually hungry beyond the few strips of bacon that he already stole when no one was looking]
Cora: [which Alex is thrilled with because who doesn't love a good funny face]
Liam: Did anyone tell you that you have a striking resemblance to J. Edgar Hoover?
Cora: Usually he gets Winston Churchill.
Liam: [tilts his head] Yeah, he could get that too.
Cora: He'll get over it, once he grows into his face.
Liam: Eat a lot of boob juice, kiddo. You need a bigger head.
Ben: Mommy what's boob juice?
Stiles: [giving Liam a look] It's the milk that your mommy makes to feed babies.
Cora: [also giving Liam a look]
Ben: Oh, okay.
Liam: I think I'm going to head back down to see if my dad's home.
Stiles: Good idea.
Cora: See you later, Liam.
Liam: [and off he will head back downstairs to find out if his family as returned.]
Derek: [which they have, leaving Derek exhausted on the couch]
Lucy: Liam!!! [dashes over for a hug] Where did you go?
Liam: [catches his sister and hugs her tightly] I was just upstairs wishing Aunt Cora a happy Mother’s Day.
Lucy: Did you see Alex?
Liam: Yup. He's a little wrinkly baby, just like you were.
Lucy: [wrinkles her nose] No I wasn't!
Liam: Yes, you totally were. But you got cute quickly.
Lucy: Daaaaad was I wrinkly?
Derek: Yes, baby you were. All babies are wrinkly when they first come out of their mommies.
Lucy: But I'm not wrinkly in the pictures.
Derek: Oh trust me, we have wrinkly pictures of you somewhere.
Liam: It doesn't last long though. Like how your fingers are wrinkly after a bath.
Lucy: [she makes a face because she doesn't like that]
Fiona: Don't worry, sweetie, you won't be wrinkly again for a long, long time.
Liam: Not until you're a hundred years old at least.
Lucy: [sighs] Okay.
Liam: [and he will lean down to kiss her cheek] You've always been adorable to me.
Lucy: [and that makes her smile] Did you have breakfast?
Liam: Yup, Mom and I had breakfast when I got here, and I snagged some extra bacon up at Aunt Cora's.
Lucy: Does that mean you have to go home soon?
Liam: Nope, I'm here the whole day. And I may even be here all day tomorrow too.
Lucy: Really!? [excitement before] Oh but I have to go to school.
Liam: How about I take you to school and pick you up on the way home?
Lucy: Okay!
Liam: Cool.
Lucy: Are we still going to Grandma's?
Derek: Yes, we are.
Lucy: Do we have to do anything until we go to Grandma's?
Derek: Just spend time loving on mommy.
Lucy: That's it?
Fiona: [laughs] I think she might need something slightly more engaging.
Derek: What, I happen to find loving on you a very engaging job.
Liam: How about me make something for grandma?
Lucy: Okay! [and she will run off for her art supplies]
Fiona: It's not as engaging for her.
Liam: [looks at the quiet Jacob] You want to help us, buddy?
Jacob: [looks up at Derek and Fiona, because he liked the idea of snuggling all over mommy]
Fiona: [looks back at Jacob] You can stay if you want. You don't have to go.
Jacob: [smiles and goes to curl up in Fiona's lap like a puppy]
Fiona: [she laughs, moving one hand to rest on his head and brushing her fingers through his hair] I think he's good, Liam.
Liam: Alright. Art time with Lucy. [this should totally be fun]
Lucy: [oh yeah. But she's picked up on Dina's perfectionist tendencies so she's going to do her best to make some very pretty art]
Liam: [and he will help her and do what she needs help with]
Lucy: [and eventually she'll have a pretty picture to show and she'll lift it up and run over to show her dad] Daddy, what do you think?
Derek: It's beautiful, sweetheart. Is it for grandma or mommy?
Lucy: Grandma.
Derek: Then I think she is going to love it.
Lucy: Good. [is pleased]
Derek: [and it won't be long until they have to all pack up and head over to the preserve]
Talia: [and the house is a sea of children and one sulky teenager who's just on her phone on the corner of the couch]
Liam: [well, he will bug the sulky teen in a moment, but first he is going to see his grandmother because hello, mother's day]
Talia: [of course he should, and she is very happy to see him] I didn't know you were coming!
Liam: Surprise!
Talia: [pulls him into a hug] It's so good to see you.
Liam: [and he will hug her back tightly, snuggling into his alpha] It's good to see you too, Grandma.
Talia: Are you having fun in New York?
Liam: Yeah, I am. It's a crazy place.
Talia: Good. Having fun is the important part.
Liam: So what have I missed?
Talia: Oh, nothing too dramatic. Just the usual.
Liam: That is a very good thing. [because he has been in the dramatic. twice. it sucks]
Talia: Agreed. How long are you going to be in town for?
Liam: Until tomorrow at least. Pretty sure Landon will start missing me after that.
Talia: Fair enough. But I'm glad you came.
Liam: Same here. It was worth the flight.
Talia: Good. I hope you're hungry.
Liam: When am I not? [laughs]
Talia: Also good. Dinner should be ready in a bit.
Liam: Need any help setting things up?
Talia: No, it's all taken care of. Just relax.
Liam: Alright. [and he will go out and loom over the sulky teenager] Wow, you're worse than I was.
Regina: [looks up at him and rolls her eyes before she flops back against the couch] I hate this stupid town. [not her family, never her family, but teenage girls suck]
Liam: Yeah, well it could be worse. You could be in Iowa. Or Utah.
Regina: I don't know, I think it would still be better.
Liam: What is it you can't do here that you are lamenting?
Regina: Leave. [there's a beat] Not here here. It's not a family thing, it's a teenagers suck thing, and I wish I could trade places with you and run away to another city.
Liam: You'll get there. It's called college.
Regina: College is still a couple years away.
Liam: But you can plan. Decide where you want to go. Take trips to the colleges with your parents to see the area and if you want to go there.
Regina: No, I know. But it's not the same as being gone. I still have to come back and see them all in school on Monday.
Liam: So this is more about your school than it is the town, isn't it?
Regina: Yep. [deep breath] People suck.
Liam: So change schools. There's a private school you can commute to, or look at a boarding school upstate.
Regina: You don't have to sell me on that.
Liam: Selling your folks?
Regina: Mom thinks I'm just running away from the problem rather than facing it.
Liam: Well, you are. But find a different reason for it. Forget the people in the equation - do one of the other schools have a better curriculum that will get you into the college program that you are thinking of going into?
Regina: I don't know.
Liam: Look into it. Until then, what's going on that's bothering you?
Regina: People are just jerks, and the people I was friends with moved away so I'm alone and therefore have been promoted to easy prey.
Liam: Yeah, I've been there. It sucks, but you can get past it.
Regina: I just don't fit anywhere anymore.
Liam: Then find something that you like to do, and maybe join a club or a sport?
Regina: Maybe. I'll figure it out.
Liam: [thinks] You know what I did in high school when I first moved here?
Regina: What?
Liam: I walked into the cafeteria at lunchtime and looked for someone sitting by themselves and sat down with them. We didn't talk for the first few times, but after that he had a book I liked on the table and I talked to him about that. We became friends after that.
Regina: Are you still friends now?
Liam: Yup. He's at Stanford because he was like, a super nerd.
Regina: [she gives a small shrug] I'll think about it.
Liam: Do that. Remember friends don't just appear out of nowhere. Takes two people talking to make it happen.
Regina: It's not the no friends part that bothers me as much as people who don't like me giving me crap.
Liam: [nods] You're going to have that happen to you long after you leave school, Regina. I still have people give me shit because I'm gay. That's never going to end. People just suck in general. But sometimes, people act like jerks because they are also going through shit, and they feel better making other people feel like crap. So sometimes, if they are saying something mean, I'll look them in the eye and tell them "You know, I'm sorry for whatever's going on at home that's making you lash out at me. Is there anything I can do to help?" It works sometimes. Other times it'll make them shut up and walk away.
Regina: I'll keep that in mind. [that probably won't be her response though]
Liam: Just don't punch them in the face. That will get you suspended.
Regina: Wasn't going to. Mom would murder me.
Liam: She won't murder you. Ground you until you're 18 maybe.
Regina: You don't know my mom that well.
Liam: Dude, look at who my mom is.
Regina: Yeah. And when my mom is mad she makes your mom look like a puppy.
Liam: You've never seen my mom angry and with a gun.
Regina: I have.
Liam: Really?
Regina: Yeah. My mom's scarier.
Liam: Well, I've never seen your mom be scary.
Regina: Exactly. It takes a lot more for her to get there, which means the implosion is going to be bigger.
Liam: Alright, then punching idiots is a definite no.
Regina: Yep.
Liam: And you know, you could come out and spend some time with me during the summer. Just have Uncle Peter bring you when he comes out and I'll clear my schedule to show you around.
Regina: Yeah?
Liam: Yeah, totally. You can sit with me and make fun of Landon's sequin nightmares of costumes.
Regina: Okay. School gets out in a couple weeks so I'll talk to Mom and Dad.
Liam: Awesome. [grins, because he likes hanging out with Regina]
Regina: [and she grins as well, because same!]
Dina: [and when the Stilinski's arrive, she will run over to see Regina because she totally idolizes her older cousin]
Regina: [smiles a bit when she sees her] Hey, Dina.
Dina: Hi Regina. What are you guys doing?
Regina: We were just talking about our plans for this summer.
Dina: But it isn't summer break yet.
Regina: But if we wait til then to plan it might not work out.
Dina: Oh. I guess I should ask my mom what my plans are. I probably will go to camp again.
