Shosh had been relieved when Rori had told her in no uncertain terms that she was kidnapping her and Sloane to spend the holidays with the Milburns. Sloane had of course been thrilled, spending another holiday with her Cody was always a good thing in her daughter's book. Though she rarely grew up having large family get together, Shosh had to admit she didn't hate the idea of being surrounded by so many people that she would be forced to focus on something other than who was missing this year. She had survived last year's Christmas without her father, granted she couldn't remember doing much beyond wallowing, but she had survived ( ... )

Rori pounced unsuccessfully at little Patrick, making him and his cousin squeal and flee from where they were 'hiding' from her. "I know, I know," she said, huffing at a lock of hair that had fallen into her face. "Disgraceful, isn't it? Yeah, you better run, you imps! I'll be coming for you!" she hollered at the little forms, lips twitching.

"Later, when I have more energy," she added in a quieter voice, flopping in her normal heedless fashion into the vacant recliner. "I'm starting to feel old, chasing all these kids around. At least Sloane has plenty of kids to play with if she wants," she said, gesturing for Shosh to go ahead and sit as well. "I'm very well outnumbered, at this point. As my mother keeps pointing out." Not that her own thoughts hadn't strayed that way, finally, a few times this year, but she knew she still wasn't at a point in her life where she could seriously contemplated having a kid yet. Not to mention the mechanics of it.

Shosh chuckled. "Very disgraceful. Not sure I can be friends with you anymore after that amazing defeat." She smirked and couldn't hide the teasing twinkle in her eye as she dropped down onto the couch. "I've felt old since the moment Sloane was big enough to walk around." Shosh admitted with a laugh. Which felt like a century ago, even if it had only been roughly four years ago. It struck her then that her little girl was going to be five in the coming year, and heading off to kindergarten which meant a whole slew of new things for Shosh to deal with ( ... )

"Hardy har har," Rori said sarcastically, grinning. "Well, if you're old, I'm ancient, dontcha know." Sometimes she wondered if that part of life wasn't something she was going to get, though she knew that relatively speaking, she was young, but paired with her mother's and sisters' harping on it all, it was at the top of her mind that 'Oh, Cheyenne had two kids by the time she was your age,' etc etc.

"Thanks. I'm sure Sloane will appreciate the exercise, but it's still two against the many," she said with the shake of her head. "You need to breed me out a few more." She stretched her leg as far as she could, trying to prod Shosh's leg with her toes. "And they are definitely like her cousins, trust me." It wasn't like she hadn't pal-ed around with Shosh long enough for her nieces and nephews to know Sloane. "Haha, true. Cody the Awesome strikes again."
