Well, my brother and sister-in-law don't wait long. Barely in their flat for a week and they're having a flat warming party. Which means Jimmy is going to get to spend quality time with his godmother, cousin and uncle. I'm kind of excited. Jimmy's first overnight! I think Tommy's a little excited too

You're excited, Tommy's excited, and I'm excited.

You survived Christmas Eve with my mother. I was impressed. You expected anything less on the anniversary?

[off_the_clock]

Let's hope Jimmy's excited.

Maybe he'll take a lesson from his cousin and go to sleep eventually.

What can I say? You keep me on my toes.

[port_keyed]

He should be. He also shouuld be concerned with what potentially could be going on in his home. And yeah, let's hope Tommy's the influence on him, and not the other way around. ...Either way, this could sort of be a test run to see what having two kids might be like?

Oh really. I was going to say that you keep me on my toes.

[off_the_clock]

You know, I really like thinking of it that way.

Oh really? Well, I do try.

Sorry, but we really are not exaggerating. Jimmy just doesn't like sleeping.

But thanks again for agreeing to look after him. It would definitely not work, having him here in the house.

[off_the_clock]

Well, that's good to know. Maybe he'll decide to copy his cousin who is starting to like sleeping a lot more.

Not a problem. Uncle Ralden and Aunt Alison have it covered.

[shannon_ithink]

It would figure, though, if he is perfectly behaved while he's with you... just to annoy me, right?

And, yeah. Just let us know whenever you want that favour returned.

[off_the_clock]

Well, I am amazing.

Oh don't worry, we will.

[concerto_in_d]

It was nice seeing you and Ralden on New Year's!

[off_the_clock]

You too. You looked pretty happy.

[concerto_in_d]

Yeah, I was. Will was great.

[off_the_clock]

Oh was he?
