I8DT - Mind the Baby

by **Claire McKenna** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:30 pm

Claire just giggles, shaking her head, "I think I'm a little old for a spanking. Besides, you'd end up burning your hands."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:32 pm

"It'd be worth it," Victoria said, smirking. "Besides, I love magic," she added, passing a chilly (to Claire) thumb along the girl's neck without it burning.

"I'm not into girls," Claire blurts out suddenly, looking embarrassed.

"...I mean, there's nothing wrong with...that," Claire says quickly, not wanting to offend, "I'm just really not into anyone."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:38 pm

Victoria blinked. "I... didn't say you w- I..." Awkwaaaaard. Also... "Did you think I was hitting on you?" she asked, narrowing her eyes and cocking her head.

by **Claire McKenna** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:01 pm

Claire winces.

Nice misread, Claire.

"Sorry. I'm not good at reading signals," Claire says, "Not a lot of practice with that stuff."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:05 pm

"I mean, not that I'd put it past me, but... seriously? You think I have time for anything but this one right now?" Victoria asked with a little smirk, nodding down at Vivien.

by **Claire McKenna** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:13 pm

"Probably not," Claire admits, "Ugh. I always do this. I make such a mess. Again, I'm really, really sorry."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:14 pm

Victoria smirked, waving a dismissive hand. "It's all right. I'm over it, we can kiss and make up now," she teased.

by **Claire McKenna** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:17 pm

Claire blushes in embarrassment. Sure, embarrassment, "I will never live this down, will I?"

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:19 pm

"Of course you will. You didn't expect it to only take thirty seconds, did you?"

by **Claire McKenna** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:23 pm

"I hoped?" Claire says with a grin.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:39 pm

"All right. Putting you completely off my radar, then," Victoria said, chuckling as she leaned down and kissed the top of Vivien's head.

by **Claire McKenna** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:45 pm

Claire laughs, before smiling a bit.

"You're very good with her."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:50 pm

Victoria smiled a little. "She deserves it. Goddess knows I have no idea what I'm doing, though..."

by **Claire McKenna** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:52 pm

"I don't think a lot of people do," Claire says, "It's not like they come out with manuals."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:53 pm

"Well, generally you're supposed to have someone there to help you with it. Oops."

by **Claire McKenna** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:59 pm

"She's such a sweetheart too," Claire says, "Don't worry, I'll totally be her surrogate dad for you."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:07 am

Victoria smiled and sighed. "You don't have any crime bosses after you, right? Then you can't do worse than her real father..."

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:09 am

"Then it's settled," Claire says with a happy smile.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:39 am

"If this means you're going to start staying out late and coming home drunk, I'm rethinking this arrangement," Victoria teased, reaching over to the edge of the couch and picking up a little baby blanket, which she draped over Vivien.

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:10 am

"I have no social life, so you don't have to worry about that."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:16 am

"Heh... what are you wasting time with me for, then, when you could be chasing the boys all around," she teased. "I know there are at least a few fireproof ones around."

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:21 am

Claire snorts, "There's two types of boys. The ones that can't touch me, who are bad. And then there's the ones that can, who are worse."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:27 am

Victoria smirked, then glanced down at the baby. "Well, I can't blame you for avoiding the boys..."

She considered and sighed. "Although frankly, girls can be worse, I have to admit..."

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:30 am

"I'll have to take your word for that."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:37 am

She sighed. "Yes, do, please." She kissed the top of Vivien's head. "Heartache is bad enough for yourself. I'd rather not see it in one of my friends, that's somehow worse."

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:39 am

"Don't worry, I'm pretty commited to the 'not dating' thing," Claire says.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:47 am

"Well, I'm certainly not complaining about the results," Victoria said, smiling a bit. "I'd go insane if she was my only company."

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:52 am

"Can't have that."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 2:01 am

"The safety of reality thanks you for keeping me from becoming a mad sorceress and threatening life everywhere."

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 2:02 am

"My heavy burden," Claire teases, "My sacred trust."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 2:05 am

"Making good use of the fact that I don't want to smack you and risk waking the baby, I see," Victoria said with a smirk.

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 2:10 am

"I am quite manipulative, aren't I?" Claire says, smiling.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 2:20 am

"Mmm, not bad, but I've seen better," Victoria teased.

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:29 am

"I guess I'll have to try harder."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 6:02 pm

Victoria smiled. "Good, you do that. Also, pay the good delivery boy," she said as she very carefully stood up. "My purse is next to the door there."

And, sure enough, no sooner had she closed the door to lay Vivien down than there was a knock at the door.

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 7:19 pm

Claire gets up and answers the door, paying the man and bringing the food in.

By the time Victoria returned from putting Vivien down, she was already unboxing food.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 7:55 pm

"Oh goddess, that smells divine," Victoria sighed, her stomach rumbling.

"You know, I never considered this before... does food always seem cold to you?"

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:07 pm

"Kind of lukewarm, yeah," Claire says.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:16 pm

"Does it bother you? Or is it just something you get used to?"
