The Park, Monday Sundown

Feb 17, 2014 22:53

Just like a portal had appeared in the park on Saturday morning, one now appeared late on Monday again. But whereas the first portal had sent children of various ages and parentages tumbling onto the island, this one sent out a call that all said children had to heed.

It was time to say goodbye and go home.

Delay the inevitable! solarhippie February 17 2014, 20:54:17 UTC

Make small talk! Give hugs! Feed the kids all the candy you have left as revenge upon their real parents!

Nat was taking small steps, which was ridiculous when you were almost 16 and had two perfectly functional parents at home waiting for you.

The tiny versions were kind of adorable, though, and he was a bit worried about this Cade kid.

After the awkward start, Jim thought he and Natalie had handled the ball of energy that was their son pretty well. It helped that she'd been through this before and knew what to expect.

Now, it seemed to be time to say goodbye and Nolan didn't seem too fussed. Jim was both relieved and a little sad.

"You know where you're going?"

"Dad, I'm not an idiot," Nolan sighed.

"No, you're not," Natalie agreed. He really wasn't. His parents weren't shabby, either. "You're going to be just fine."

Re: Delay the inevitable! famousinspace February 17 2014, 21:41:42 UTC

"Did you like my candy necklace, Mom?" Nolan asked curiously. "The one I got you for my birthday!"

He knew she had but it was fun to show his dad up since Jim hadn't gotten her anything.

Re: Delay the inevitable! whenshewasnice February 17 2014, 21:48:37 UTC

Yeah, Natalie was pretty sure that was what he was doing. She looked faintly amused. "Yes, Nolan," she said. "I liked it. It'll tide me over until your dad gets his act together."

See, she totally knew what the point was here.

"Don't be too hard on him if he doesn't," Nolan said, patting his dad's hand. "He loves you."

Jim made a face down at Nolan.

"You're a troublemaker, aren't you?"

Nolan shrugged. "I'm a Kirk-Adams."

Which meant yes.

"That doesn't mean what you think it means," Natalie argued. Probably because she was yet to meet their older versions. She'd come to see the logic eventually. For now, she just reached out to ruffle Nolan's hair. "Don't make too much trouble for your parents, okay?"

Re: Delay the inevitable! famousinspace February 17 2014, 22:03:11 UTC

"You guys are pretty cool," Nolan said. He was trying not to turn into a little kid and get clingy. "I'll see you when I get home, right?"

And yet, he was still a little kid.

Re: Delay the inevitable! whenshewasnice February 17 2014, 22:08:20 UTC

Natalie crouched down to be a little more on his level. She smiled, although it was the usual Natalie style faintness. Still there.

"Yeah. You will."

Re: Delay the inevitable! famousinspace February 17 2014, 22:09:54 UTC

"Will I be in trouble for coming here?" he asked, frowning briefly. "I don't want you guys to be mad."

Jim knelt down next to Natalie. "They won't stay mad long if they're mad. I promise."

Re: Delay the inevitable! whenshewasnice February 17 2014, 22:12:53 UTC

"And you can tell them you were with us," Natalie added. "They'll understand. They know how this works."

At least she was assuming their memories of these weekends in Fandom wouldn't just fade away.

"It'll be fine, Nolan, I promise. We promise."

Re: Delay the inevitable! famousinspace February 17 2014, 22:15:11 UTC

"Will you miss me?" Nolan asked curiously and quietly. "I'll miss you guys. Promise."

Jim reached out and put his hand on Nolan's shoulder. "You're a good kid. Take after your mom. Never thought I'd see a kid of mine. I'll miss you. I won't speak for Natalie but I bet she'll miss you too."

Re: Delay the inevitable! whenshewasnice February 17 2014, 22:23:21 UTC

Natalie found herself feeling just a bit more emotional than she'd expected to. So instead of immediately saying anything, she blinked a few times and reached out to take Nolan's hand and give it a little squeeze.

"I'll miss you too."

Re: Delay the inevitable! famousinspace February 17 2014, 22:26:36 UTC

Since they were both kneeling, Nolan stepped forward and wrapped one small arm around them both, giving them a squeeze.

"We're awesome," he said, sniffling a little. "Don't forget me, okay? I'll see you soon."

Well, the other them. "Maybe I'll come back."

Re: Delay the inevitable! whenshewasnice February 17 2014, 22:37:11 UTC

"Maybe," Natalie agreed, although her voice was quiet and muffled. She gave Nolan a squeeze back. "We're not going to forget you."

She wasn't, she knew it.
