George was pulling crap out from under the front counter, a bin placed close by. There was no reason that they'd let it accumulate this much.
He looked up at the sound of Meg's voice, reaching to tilt the box so that he could see inside. "Half of that shit shouldn't be here. I'm a slob, have you noticed?" Grinning, he took the box from her. "I'll take care of it. I've got to take some of this stuff back to the flats. I bring things in, use them once, and forget about them." He pulled an oddly shaped metal thing from the box and looked at it. "And actually, I've no clue what this is."
Glancing up at her, he smiled. "Thanks for helping out so much lately. We'll get someone new in here soon, take some of the workload off you."
"Language," Megan admonished, grinning cheekily at him. "Just because Ben and Liam aren't here, doesn't mean you can go around spouting profanity all day." She winked to show she wasn't being serious. "Sets a bad routine, you know."
She handed over the box and grinned as he pulled out an oddly shaped metal item. "Neither did I," she admitted, "Nor did I know exactly what to do with this." She reached in the box and pulled out what looked like an ear on a string. "What is this?" she asked, peering at it. "Are you and Fred dabbeling in Voodoo?"
She grinned genuinely at him. "I don't mind helping out," she said. "It was good of you to let Romilda leave early. I remember the last couple months of pregnancy. They're not pleasant."
"Ah, really? Well fuck. I'll have to watch my mouth then, won't I?" He gave her a cheeky grin. "I'd hate to set a bad example for anyone. You know me."
George laughed and took the extendable ear from her. "Nope. But we do dabble in eavesdropping occasionally. These things are great for that." Stuffing it in his pocket, he rifled through the box.
"I know, but you've got Ben to think of. And we all need a life outside this place, yeah?" He nodded absently. "Course, she has to focus on her family. And I watched mum go through two pregnancies. It wasn't pretty."
She snickered at his response and arched her brow at him much the same way she did to Ben when he was being difficult. "Of course you would. Fine upstanding citizen you are." She stuck her tongue out at him playfully.
"I'm sure they came in handy in a house like yours," she said. "Lots of sibling secrets to overhear, yeah?" She hopped up on the counter and watched him rifle through the box. "Anything else interesting in there?"
She smiled when he spoke of Ben, and nodded. "Not to mention the five new puppies," she said. "It's like being a new parent all over again." She nodded as he spoke about his mum. "It's the most thrilling, scary and painful experience I've ever had. And all at once. But it's worth it because you get a baby at the end. And there's nothing better than that."
