Amanda's room, one frantic Atlantic flight later

by **Stan Bowen** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 10:50 pm

"Amanda?" Stan inquired cautiously, poking his head in the room.

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 11:39 pm

"Come on in." Amanda said, sounding happy, if tired "He just finished eating."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 8:39 pm

Despite the stress and exhaustion from the past several hours, it all melted away as Stan looked on with a beaming smile.

I'm so sorry for not being here, Amanda.."

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 9:46 pm

"You're here for the important part." she said, "Now come here, someone needs to meet you."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 9:52 pm

Stan approached, getting down on one knee to meet his new son.

"Hey you, hey you.."

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 9:58 pm

Joseph turned in Stan's direction, and then frowned a little as he made a very disgusting sounding poo. Those who have changed a newborn's diaper will know what is being described. Those who have not are advised not to google 'meconium". Hey, you were warned.

Stan chuckled, reaching for the wet wipes.

"Now, this brings back memories."

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 10:18 pm

"Good!" Amanda said "You can do the gross job- I mean, show me how its done!."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 10:21 pm

Stan smiled, and a few minutes and one discarded biohazard bag later, things were relatively back to normal.

"Welcome to the world, Joseph."

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 10:52 pm

"He's beautiful, isn't he." Amanda said "he looks just like your baby pictures. Except for the orange eyes."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 10:55 pm

Stan nodded, watching him doze off.

"Looks like the X-gene mixed up things a little already."

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:03 pm

"Yeah. Something special and wonderful and new."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:10 pm

"He sure is. For certain, he's everything."

Stan came over to Amanda's side, and gave her a kiss.

"happy birthday."

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:26 pm

"Its a good day to be born." Amanda said "So much going on, but this makes it all worth it."

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 8:14 pm

Stan nodded, taking a seat in a chair next to the bed, his hand patting hers.

" I wish Bobby was here.."

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 10:34 pm

"So do I." Amanda said "I'm just glad you were able to save Tommy and Christie."

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:32 pm

"It wasn't just me. Everyone did their part. Christie even decided to get involved.. I guess I should have expected that."

But, Apocalypse quickly fell out of his mind, as Joe gently grasped his index finger.

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:35 pm

"Is she ok?" Amanda asked "I hope she didn't get hurt."

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:39 pm

"no, she ended up fine.. She charged in, like she does, though. She just doesn't think. it drives me crazy!"

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:46 pm

"She's sixteen." Amanda said "Its to be expected. Did you talk to her about it?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:57 pm

"I tried.. I don't know how successful I was, though. Probably not very."

He sighed, thinking back to the Alex boy.

"She might be seeing a classmate. Or pretending to, I don't know."

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 12:01 am

"I thought she wasn't allowed to date?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 12:09 am

"Like that would stop her. She's worse then Bobby!" he said, shaking his head.

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 12:11 am

"Lets hope not." Amanda said "Would it help if I talked to her?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 12:21 am

Stan thought a moment.

"I don't know.. I think she still has some raw feelings from everything. Plus, you have more pressing demands."

Smiling, he tickled Joe lightly.

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 1:40 am

"Yeah, I do. But she's Joe's big sister, and I want us to be a family."

by **Stan Bowen** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 8:31 pm

Stan nodded at that- he wanted a family again as well.

"After we get settled with Joe, let's get everyone together at our flat. I should be able to call in a teleport favor."

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 2:20 pm

"That sounds like a wonderful idea. And we can skype the kids, so they can see their new brother."

by **Stan Bowen** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 8:41 pm

Stan nodded with a smile. All the trouble with Apocalypse just seemed to fade away, thanks to the present company.
