Title: A Tale of Two Fathers (or The Parent Inception)
Pairings: Arthur/Eames, Arthur/Robert
Rating: PG13 for now, will go up
Word Count: 13,192
Summary: It's The Parent Trap, Inception-style. Arthur and Eames are divorced with twin sons (biologically Arthur's born to a surrogate mother). The boys, separated from infanthood, accidentally meet at camp. You know the rest.
"So we should come to you, I'm assuming? Or would you rather come here?"
"I ... I don't know. You're coming, too?"
"Don't be thick, Arthur. Of course. We've let this go on for far too long. Best to all get together and sort it. I'm not going to just put Forrest on a plane and say goodbye, am I. Is that what you want?"
He can feel a little of the old anger starting to rise.
"No. No, of course not. We should all be together. And besides, Forrest will have to commit passport fraud again just by traveling here. He'll need an adult, just in case. I just ... I didn't think ... "
" ... you'd see me darken your doorstep again?"
"Well ... yes, if we're being honest."
"I promise to be on my very best behavior, darling."
Oh fuck! Where the bloody hell did that come from? It's just too damn easy to slip back into teasing Arthur, even all these years later, now that they're apparently being civil. He'll have to really watch himself.
