RP for Xander or whoever

[a_time_slip]

Lynn looked at the short list of names, and called each of them, only to get an answering service.

Why wasn't anyone home?  She looked towards the bedroom door, knowing her mother was crouched over in the bed.  'Don't call anyone' she'd said.

She tried once more to call everyone, when finally she got an answer.

"Hello?  You have to come here, now!"

"Sounds like a plan. Good plan," Xander said. "Is that Tetris?"

[a_time_slip]

"No, it's Doom." Lynn smiled sweetly, then went back to killing things.

"Did you want to know the gender?" asked the tech

Janie smiled. "I'm taking you too. You'll like the lasers."

"It's probably a girl," Xander said to the tech.

[a_time_slip]

"It's a boy." he said, ignoring the crazy lady

Xander nodded and said, "Well, of course it's a ... huh?"

He gave Lynn the side-eye.

[a_time_slip]

"I'm a girl!" Lynn insisted, as Janie babbled something about the 1920's. "Look at it again!"

Xander looked at the sonogram image. "Don't know, that kind of looks like a ... yeah, it's a boy."

Janie was half asleep by that point, so she didn't see Lynn pouting and getting ready to have a tantrum.

The tech handed Xander copies of the pictures and hightailed it out of there before the drama started.

"My best guess," Xander said after the tech was gone, "is this is not you. And that you're about to become a big sister."

[a_time_slip]

"I don't want to be a big sister!" Lynn frowned, then looked at her Mom

"When was I born if that's not me?"

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"Sometime in October?" Xander guessed.

[a_time_slip]

"October 9th" frowned the little girl "But that's supposed to be me, and if it's not then I shouldn't be here"

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"But she's already had you, so ... this is someone else," Xander said. "And if you weren't supposed to be here, you wouldn't be."

[a_time_slip]

"She doesn't remember having me." admits Lynn "Which means I'm a paradox."

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"A very nice one," Xander said.

[a_time_slip]

"What if she's done with me?" asked Lynn "Because you and her have the baby now?"

Janie was smiling at Lynn and Xander, and didn't seem to be done with either of them.

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"She's not," Xander said, and smiled. "And I'm sure as heck not done with you. I'm sure I have to ground you at least a few more times, and maybe even take away your car privileges once or twice."

[a_time_slip]

"You can't do that if I disappear." and she pouted "But at least you and Mommy will have a kid."

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"One of two," Xander said. "You're not going anywhere, really."

[a_time_slip]

"What if I'm not really yours or Mommy's kid? Phoenix said you were my father the other day and that I had to be nicer to you, but what if I'm a changeling or something?"

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"You're not weird enough to be a changeling," Xander said. "Weird, yes, but not noticeably weirder then your mom or me."

[a_time_slip]

Lynn hugged Xander just as the doctor walked in. Janie was still out of it.

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

Xander hugged her back. "Don't ever let yourself believe you're not part of this family, hon," he said, bending down to her ear.

[a_time_slip]

She nodded, and kept her arms around Xander so he could pick her up.

"Is Mommy and my brother going to be okay?"

The doctor explained just what Xander thought he would, that everything would be okay.

"See? Nothing to worry about," Xander said Lynn after the doctor left again.
