Room 322 [Sunday morning]
It was a relief to find that Mei was smart enough to go to the Trooper station when lost. Though she did show her age when told by her parents that she had to leave behind some book about cows because it didn't belong to them. Two pieces of licorice from Momoko's pocket, however, quickly stalled any imminent tears and Mei was carried out of the station with no complaints.
There were many complaints, however, from Sophia and Elena. About how long it had taken, how they hadn't gotten any candy or cocoa, that it was cold, how hungry they were and how they didn't want to eat anything but papa's pancakes. "With choc'aty chips! The right way!" reminded Sophia, swinging her papa's hand as they quickly walked back to the dorms. Luckily, Jaime was able to find a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips in one of the kitchens, as well as a pancake mix.
Breakfast over ("It's late, so it's really brunch!" corrected Elena, as she smeared her pancake into the syrup.), there was clean up and then a trip back to Momoko's room to feed and torture poor Moshi, and then trooping down to Jaime's room to watch a movie, since he no longer had a roommate. After the movie, was a trip to buy actual clothes, shoes, and coats that worked for the totally not-El Paso weather (bye-bye rainy-day-cake savings) and then an argument about dinner. Momoko was out-voted and it was take-out from Ching Tai that escorted them back to the dorms and to Jaime's room for another movie.
It was during the second movie that Momoko had the hardest time. The rest of the day there had been Thing To Get Done, but now? In a darkened room, with nothing to do but hold Mei asleep in her lap, let Sophia leaning heavy against her, trying so hard to stay awake, and watch Elena tugging on Jaime's arm asking some question about how some machine thing on the screen worked? It was hard to not think about how nice it was, how relaxed, how comfortable...
Which was more than she could say about her situation right now. Momoko frowned and shifted, trying to fall back asleep despite the thump-thump, thump-thumping noise her pillow seemed to be making, and the sound of girlish giggling and a phone being dropped.
"Shh! Careful, silly! You'll wake them and we'll get in trouble!"

And how giggly whispers would be the first thing to greet him in the morning as the girls woke up energetic and mischievous.
no subject
Her dream, of course, was simply that she was getting married. In a gorgeous white dress covered with peach blossoms and a long, long train that Mojo-jojo tried to steal to use as a giant gauze for one of his giant mojo-robos that was wounded when she roundhouse kicked a hole in its head for stepping on her chocolate chip wedding cake. But Jaime was there! Only he was in his armor and had on a top hat and tails and he managed to catch the end of the train from Mojo-jojo while still carrying Moshi and Momoko ran up the train that was now a slide that she kept sliding back down which caused lots of giggling from the girls on the swingset who had eyes like hers and Jaime laughed and said it was a surprise for Momoko but then the girls started saying something and Momoko had to laugh too because they weren't speaking Japanese.
"...rs too," she chuckled in her sleep, trying to get even closer to the warmth in the bed, now by tugging it to her.

"Is papa waking up?"

SHE HAD KIDS! Finally!!!! And they were Jaime's! Somewhere, somehow they had a family... together! It was wrong to be smiling so hard right?
"I hear giggling." Momoko's smile was clearly in her voice. "Funny how that makes me remember when I was a little girl and totally doing something with my little sister that I probably shouldn't have been doing."

Well, at Elena and Sophia, since Mei was now attempting to climb over Jaime to get to her.

Mei snuggled deep into Momoko's arms and crinkled her eyes in a grin at Jaime. "Thank 'oo, papa." And without a missed beat, she switched to showing him a set of big huge brown eyes: "Pa'cakes?"
Which sent Momoko into a gigglefit.
no subject
"And didn't we have pancakes yesterday?"
no subject
"Ooh yes!" Sometimes Mei had the best ideas! Elena jumped up, hands now showing the cell phone she'd been hiding. "Please! Please! You make the bestest ever pancakes! And you never ever never make them enough back home."
Sophia rushed over and try to hug him, her eyes somehow seeming a bit more excited than her sisters'. "Pleeeeeeeeeeease?"
no subject
And finding it hard to resist, even though he knew exactly what they were doing.
no subject
"They totally are. And they seem used to it." She reached out with her foot and gave him a nudge. "If it makes you feel better, Jaime? I want waffles and eggs? You know, real food? But I'll totally settle for pa'cakes."
no subject
Jaime tried not to laugh, but he sort of failed.
"And I bet if I say no, all four of you use the eyes on me at the same time."
no subject
Elena, eager and challenging
Sophia, sad and woeful
Mei, expectant and... well, like it would be the greatest gift EVER!
...
no subject
"Pancakes for everyone. But you all have to eat something healthy, too."
no subject
It was as if they'd heard it said it a million times, how they chorused him.
"I'll have cereal!"
"Eggs and baaaaacon!"
"Pa'cakes!"
... Momoko was probably not going to stop laughing ever.
no subject
Clearly adult-him hadn't managed to teach them to really eat healthy food.
no subject
She was, of course, quite forgetting that she was a mother this weekend.
no subject
Set a good example, Momoko.
no subject
She could totally worry about baths later, right?
... Wait. "Elena, what's in your hand?"
no subject
Elena then turned to her momma and looked totally innocent. "Nothing!" And just like that, her hands were behind her back.
