The Stantons - Now Without Sentient Furniture

"Look who's hooome. You are, yes you are." Sara coos to the baby as she opens the door and carries Robin inside.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 4:55 pm

Will had a thin-lipped smile as he walked inside, letting Sara carry Robin.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 4:59 pm

Turning around to Will her cheery demeanor leaves her face a bit.

"You okay?" she asks quietly.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:04 pm

"Yeah.....well, no, but yeah..."

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:09 pm

"... srrrrkhn?"

A thin brown-furred tail twitched over the back of the couch before Simon's face crept up into sight.

"... you're home. You're home!"

Thud.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:12 pm

"What the!" Sara spins around, clutching Robin to her chest. She's still a little on edge.

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:19 pm

Simon was on his feet and practically beaming.

"You guys made it back!" He said. "I was so worried I was going to end up having to fulfill my God-fatherly duties. Are you alright?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:20 pm

"S-simon... Yeah, yeah we're okay... What are you doing here?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:21 pm

"Simon!

Wh...what are you doing here?"

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:22 pm

"Whoa, stereo." Simon said.

"I'm... house-sitting." He didn't sound entirely confident in his answer.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:27 pm

"House-sitting?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:30 pm

"We were only gone for a day..."

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:30 pm

"Well I didn't know that. You could've been gone for weeks." Simon said. "I'm just considerate like that."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:41 pm

"Is that right..."

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:55 pm

"Totally. But I can't hog the spotlight, today is about you two. I mean, you guys were out saving the day, right? You must be exhausted. Let me help you with, um, supper?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:58 pm

Sara blinks, trying to figure out what she obviously missed so she just asks again. "Supper? What? Why are you here, Si?"

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:05 pm

"I thought you guys would be tired after saving the headmistress and her lady friend. So I came over to help out. Like a good neighbour.

"And... Chloe and I aren't really talking to each other. And I don't have a room on campus anymore.

"But it was mostly the helping thing."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:08 pm

"Wait wait wait, what? You broke up with Chloe!? What happened?"

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:26 pm

"I didn't break up with Chloe." Simon said. "Why would you assume I did something?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:31 pm

"Then Chloe broke up with you?"

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:33 pm

"Kind of, I guess. She was crying when I left. Between her and Lucy I just couldn't take it anymore. All that talk about marriage and flying monkey babies was really creeping me out."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:38 pm

"So you just had bit of a fight?" she asks, sounding relieved.

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:47 pm

"I think, I don't know, they were yelling a lot about how terrible I was because I was living there but didn't want to get married next month."

Simon sighed. "I'm beginning to think I'm dating a crazy person."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:54 pm

"Want me to go talk to her? Just... not today cause, well, yeah. Exhausted."

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 9:01 pm

"Maybe that'd be good, yeah. I can't talk to her without her getting emotional."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 9:26 pm

"We may...not be the best advocates for 'waiting'..."

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:17 pm

"No, and I know you two are happy and you have a beautiful baby that's not beautiful in the way that my creepy future self thought but you can speak from experience that getting married quickly can lead to complications later."

Lucy was having a bad effect on him.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:23 pm

"This is...very true."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:29 pm

"But I mean, we both decided that together. I didn't nag him about it till he had to flee..."

by **Simon Kipling** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:50 pm

"Lucy said I was misleading her because I moved in. But that was Chloe's idea, not mine. Does living together mean we gotta get married? Because I didn't marry Willow."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:29 pm

"This is true, I can vouch for that," Will said, in a lame(r than usual) joke.

by **Simon Kipling** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 11:56 am

"I... that can wait though. You guys just got back from saving the day, you must be tired. Maybe I should just go take a walk or something."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 11:59 am

"I don't wanna kick you out but... How about you get us all some take-out while we take a shower?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 4:47 pm

"Yeah...that might be a good idea, we probably stink..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 4:24 pm

One shower later in a temporarily Simon-free apartment with a sleeping Robin...

"That... that sure was something..." Sara says, carefully, sitting down next to Will on the couch.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 4:26 pm

"Yeah..." he said, having sat down, and was staring downwards.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 4:29 pm

"Are you okay? I... I mean..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 4:30 pm

"I...I dunno, Sara," he sighed. "I'll be alright, I guess..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 4:34 pm

"I'll never ever ask you to do anything like that. Ever. You know that." she says, hugging Will and not intending to let go anytime soon.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 4:46 pm

"Yeah...", he said, gingerly resting one hand on her shoulder.
