Room 518, Saturday Morning

[sixstandingby]

It'd been a late night and now it was an early morning. There was no way Gavin was going to be moving for awhile. Even if he hadn't partaken in some of the spiked punch, he'd still be curled up in bed, content to just sleep the day away. After the past few weeks, he thought this was a good way to spend the day. No zombies, no gremlins, no

The door flew open and there was a mad dash of feet against the floor before an energetic six-year-old tumbled onto the bed.

"Yo, pops, get up!"

"John, get the hell out of my room," Gavin mumbled, too sleepy to realize that the person was not John sized at all.

[kicksurkidsass]

"Huh, dad's not here, pops!" Hubert bounced, shaking the bed. "Get up, I'm bored!"

Gavin opened his eyes and...stared. "You're in the wrong room."

[kicksurkidsass]

"I've got the right pops," Hubert countered. "Come oooooon, no pretendin' you don't know me. There aren't even any girls around!"

[sixstandingby]

"My name isn't Pops," Gavin said, continuing the trend of staring at Hubert. "Seriously, wrong room kid."

[kicksurkidsass]

"Maaaan, what's with you? This a new game? We gonna suck dad in?" Hubert asked, trying to understand.

[sixstandingby]

"Dad?" Gavin had to ask. "Pops? Who are you, kid?"

[kicksurkidsass]

Hubert held up a fist, as if daring anyone ever to mock his name. Apparently that included his fathers.

"I'm Hubert Sheppard Darklighter and you were way drunk when you named me, pops."

[sixstandingby]

Forget the Hubert part. That was not the important thing here.

"SHEPPARD?" Oh my kriffing hell. "Are you kidding me?"

[kicksurkidsass]

"It's my middle name," Hubert said, frowning at Gavin. "That was your call pops. Dad says hy-those line thingys are better."

[sixstandingby]

"Sheppard is never a name that should be attached to Darklighter," Gavin said, rubbing his eyes. "Why am I pops?"

[kicksurkidsass]

"'Cause you said no to the little line thingy, duh," Hubert informed him. "Where's dad? Let's short sheet his bed!"

[sixstandingby]

"What's dad's name?" Gavin checked. He had to check. Had to. "Besides dad, that is."

[kicksurkidsass]

"Like you don't know," Hubert scoffed. "John Sheppard, but you say his true name is Gundark."

[sixstandingby]

Oh god, hearing it said out loud was traumatizing. What had they done during that gremlin bite?

"We're...both your dad?"
