Tab had been watching him the entire time, but for once she'd kept her tactless mouth shut. She knew it was just because Luke cared about his cousin, and if she'd been able to make the car go faster, she would have. She also would have offered to hand feed him while he drove if hadn't have wanted to pull into McDonald's.

She managed to swallow the giant bite of her burger, but remained oblivious to a spot of sauce on the corner of her mouth. "Both of them are good. RJ's doing okay considering. Still can't believe it... can you imagine being a kid and not being in control of your body getting diabetes? Hard enough for adults... Tara and Lachlan are kind of going crazy, but my brother made them get sleep and stuff. I think it helps them knowing they have a whole army on hand to help with RJ. Pat's doing pretty well, but I think he said something about Aiden't BFF getting sick."

"I have no idea," Tab admitted. She hadn't even thought about a band name. "We might just be Campbell and Browne, like Simon and Garfunkel. Only cooler. RJ's going to drown in music if I have anything to say about it. No way is he getting away with avoiding music or a mic."

"What's with these new secretive guys anyway? Fucking arseholes that's for sure. Between Ali's best mate, and Harri's boyfriend, Aiden and Andy have their work cut out."

"Sounds like a headache tablet," Luke sniggered, chewing on the straw of his shake. "I know Lachlan sings to him. A lot. It's going to be in his blood whether he likes it or not."

He shrugged, shaking his head. "Who knows? Keeping secrets is too damn tiring. I don't know how they keep up with them all. I know Andy. He's a basic bloke like me. He's probably just drowning in all the FBI shit. But he loves her. He loves them both."

Tab bumped her shoulder against her fiancé's and glared at him playfully. "Cheers for that, smexy. Maybe the kid's going to be ridiculously tweed-covered because it's the only way to rebel against his parents."

Tab stuck her tongue out after she finished her burger. "Then that's all that matters. And seriously, fuck the lying shit. I'd rather just shoot my mouth off because I'm too into telling the truth, than be keeping secrets and having to watch every damn thing I said."

Luke laughed and shook his head. "No danger. The kid is going to be a leather kilt guy just like his Dad. He'll be given kid's Yodalan-esque therapy sessions on the playground at school, too."

"Agreed. But still, there must be a reason for the secrets. I just don't envy the effort it would take to carry them off. At the end of the day, I'm just worried about Andy."

Tab laughed as she took a moment to imagine RJ all grown up. "Holy fuck, the girls are going to be in so much trouble around him. And any kid lucky enough to be his friend is going to be unbelievably lucky."

She leaned against Luke and her chin on his shoulder as she slipped her arm around his shoulders. "I know. And we'll be there soon, okay?"

"And you'll be the well-proud aunty cheering on his every promiscuous, talented move," Luke predicted, laughing.

He finished off his shake and shoved the cup onto the tray. "I called my Aunty in Boston, too. She's on her way. You'll finally get to meet her. She's great."

"You know me too well," Tab replied as she joined in his laughing. "But then I'd tell him that when he does find the right person... there's nothing like it."

Tab's eyebrows went up. "You got any more family I need to know about? I feel at a loss since there's not much of mine for you to meet."

Luke smiled, leaning close. "Gotta agree with that one. Although, hasn't he already got his soul mate mapped out or something?" he laughed.

"I still need to meet your Dad," he pointed out softly, holding her gaze.

Tab smiled as she closed the gap and kissed him. "Mm... I'm a total convert. Isn't it disgusting?" She nodded as she pulled her mouth to the side in thought, trying to remember something her brother had told her. "I think he's meant for that blond doctor's kid? The other Australian?"

Tab wet her lips. "So do I..."

notskywalker March 11 2009, 11:37:08 UTC

"Ohhh, good choice. Can't go wrong with an Aussie," Luke said with a smirk against her lips.

"Anymore plans on that? He might be waiting to hear from you, you know."

asinthecity March 11 2009, 11:41:22 UTC

Tab made a noise that signalled her agreement before she gave him another quick kiss and pulled back enough to pop a fry into her mouth. "Nope, definitely not. Maybe that's the secret."

"I've been waiting for Riley, but maybe I need to give him a gentle nudge."

notskywalker March 11 2009, 11:48:01 UTC

Luke laughed. "You're just biased there. Are you going to be whispering mantras of the pluses of Aussies into his little ear when you're babysitting?"

"Well, he's got a lot on his mind with the IVF and Riley getting sick. Talk to him about it. He seemed keen when your Dad came around. It's probably just slipped to the back of his mind."
