 Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something...
Slipping into her seat next to Elisa, she looked at the pancakes. She still was pouting as she let her brown eyes scan her family. "When's daddy coming to get us today?" He would have let her skip breakfast if she wanted. She knew she could sweet talk him into letting her. Finally deciding to take a bite, she half listened to the conversations around her. Her eyes moved towards Bart and Helena and with a glare she turned her head back to her plate. She was taking all of his time, she wanted her brother's attention too.
"Oh, yes I'll have a cup honey. Thank you." She started fixing the twings plates and making sure their chocolate smiley faces were just right. Setting them down she noticed Alana's pout, but didn't put much effort into it. Her daughter would get over whatever was bothering her. "I was thinking maybe we could have Mariel and Lori over this week with the children. Have a fun play date, what do you think?" That usually could distract her at least for a bit.
Just as she was going to take her own bite, Alana's question caught her off guard and she frowned a bit, "Around 2, so we have some time here as a family." She knew the Holiday's were sometimes hard on them needing to be in two opposite places. It was kind of strange not sharing Bart anymore, but with all that had happened she was glad he wasn't going over there anymore. Shifting to the men at the table as she looked at them curiously, she took a sip of her coffee.
Her birthday was coming up, could it be something about that? She hoped not since it was her 40th and she didn't really care to celebrate being that old. "What is it you want to talk to me about?"
"I love you too" He kissed Helena's head and chuckled at her baby kisses. Looking at Alana and Elisa he was about to tell them he would have surprises for them when Alana asked about leaving. He knew first hand how that made his mother feel since he would utter those same words when not happy about something. "Maybe I can take you over. I haven't seen Wade or Luc in awhile. Plus I need to catch up with your dad a bit." He still saw them as family as well in a way.
He took a few bites of pancake when his mom questioned them and he chuckled at her tone.

He is no father nor do I want to be associated with him at all. So Cossy and I talked and I did the paperwork and well.... I am now officially Bartholomew Winston Culloden."[/b Taking a drink of his own coffee he watched for her reaction.
