MHA #13 - Saturday Morning

[itsananomaly]

Cutter and Connor had decided to skip the dance yesterday in favour of spending a quiet night in where for once they didn’t have any deadlines to finish their work with the ARC and Prospero.

They had decided to take it easy that morning too, spending a bit longer in bed and just being able to enjoy each other’s company when they weren’t busy with work.

“This is nice,” Cutter murmured as he leaned in close to Connor, his eyes still closed.

[for the fiance and eventual kidlets!]

Cutter hugged Teddy as he ran over to him, "exactly, we'll have breakfast done in no time between all of us," he said, which considering their past history in the kitchen wasn't exactly reassuring

[kidsofthearc]

"Yay!" Teddy said excitedly as he climbed up on the chair he had moved into the kitchen. He had grown a bit since the last visit, but he still was a bit too short to easily reach. "I'm starving! I want breakfast!"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled as he made sure Teddy was alright with the chair as he looked at the progress that had already been made, “well how about we work on finishing the scrambled eggs and then the pancakes?”

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"I think that sounds like a good idea" Connor said as he ruffled Teddy's hair and smiled. "Tabby and I can start on the pancakes while you two handed the eggs. How does that sound?"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled as Tabby nodded, “I think that sounds perfect, we can manage that can’t we Teddy,”

Teddy grinned and reached for the bowl where there had been a previous attempt at making eggs, “let’s make breakfast,”

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor grinned as he went to the pantry to get out the pancake mix. "Ok we need two eggs and some milk"he said to Tabby. He grabbed the box and handed it to Tabby so she could see how much to get. "This is going to be a good breakfast!!"

[kidsofthearc]

Tabby smiled as she poured out the amount that they needed, “I’m glad we can all help make it,” she said once the mix had been poured.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"We both always look forward to your visits" Connor said with a grin as he started to measure out the mx... getting a good bit on the counter...and the floor as well. "The family time is nice" he said with a smile as he looked at Cutter, knowing how much more this visit meant now that they had made the engagement official and everything.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled fondly as he helped Teddy finish cracking the eggs, "it definitely is, we're always glad that you're able to come and spend these weekends with us," he told them.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"We can go look for Trillobites later!" Teddy said excitedly as he started mixing the eggs, getting the word 100% right, earning a big smile from Connor.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled as he watched Teddy mix the eggs, "we can definitely go hunting for Trilobites," he said proudly that Teddy had gotten the word right, "we could all go down to the beach and have a look and see what we can find,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Like the way you are thinking there" Connor said, as he nonchalantly scooped up some of the spilled mix and put it back in the bowl, giving Tabby a small sheepish grin as she rolled her eyes at him slightly but laughed.

[itsananomaly]

"And can we play with Rex later too please?" Teddy asked with wide eyes as he finished mixing the eggs and they were ready to go on the frying pan.

"Rex will be happy to play with you," Cutter smiled as he finished pouring the mix into the frying pan and making sure it was on the right setting, "he's probably still sleeping but once he smells food I'm sure he'll make an appearance,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Oh if there is oen thing Rex is never late for its food or scratches and he will get both soon enough" Connor chuckled as he turned to get the plates down for them, handing them to Tabby.

"Teddy and I always love coming to visit. It's going to be so much fun" she agreed with a grin as she went to set the dishes out on the table.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter finished scrambling the eggs and once Tabby began setting the dishes on the table,, he began carefully dishing out the scrambled eggs and then the crispy bacon.

Teddy beamed, "everything smells so good and these weekends are the best, everything is going to be great," he declared.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor grinned and watched as Teddy carried the tray of bacon to the table and sat down. He stood with Cutter for a moment watching Teddy and Tabby at the table.

"It's good to have them back isn't it?" he asked as he leaned against Cutter for a moment and smiled.

[itsananomaly]

"I know, it's always so nice that we're able to have these weekends with them," Cutter smiled as he leaned against Connor, "I can't believe how quickly these weekends seem to come around, I can't believe how grown up they are now,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor shifted and put his arm around Cutter and hugged him for a moment. "Aye, it's good to see them doing so well, it's good for them and for us as well." Connor stayed there for a moment longer, watched Teddy and Tabby dishing up their plates and then gave a small chuckle as he finally let go of Cutter. "Think we should go grab some breakfast while we still have the chance huh?"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled as he returned the hug, “aye, I think we should get some breakfast, it does look pretty incredible,”

[anomaly_research_nerd]

With a grin Connor walked over and took a seat at the table between Tabby and Teddy, letting Cutter take the place opposite him. "I am starving!" he said as he got his plate and flipped a couple of the pancakes over onto it, giving Teddy a playful budge out of the way as he was trying to stack more pancakes onto his plate as well.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter grinned as he also got a couple of pancakes, "careful with those pancakes Teddy," he said as he saw how big that stack was getting, "do you think you can eat all that?"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Of course I can!" Teddy said proudly. "Im big now, lot older than when I visited last time. I can eat anything!"

Connor chuckled and hid the grin behind his hand for a moment. "You definitely have gotten bigger since we last saw you. You both have !"

[itsananomaly]

"He can eat a lot more at home," Tabby revealed with a fond smile, "it's actually pretty impressive how much food he can put away, Uncle James love it when we're over because he can make extra food,"

Teddy grinned, "I love food," he declared as he began to eat the pancakes, "and I can eat so much of it because I'm six now," He said proudly.

"You have definitely grown," Cutter smiled fondly, "it's always so nice have these breakfasts together when you visit,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Highlight of the weekend when you visit that's for sure" Connor said with a nod as he tookthe first bite of pancake then some bacon. "I still love how James is teaching the two of you to cook"

Connor gave a knowing look to Cutter and grinned, remembering the several catastrophies and adventures they'd had over the years in the kitchen with Lester.

"Good to know some in the family are picking up on the whole being able to cook thing!"

[itsananomaly]

"That's what Uncle James says," Tabby grinned as she ate a piece of bacon, "he definitely wanted to make sure the next generation was at least able to put a meal together that wasn't takeout or microwave dinners,"

Cutter grinned sheepishly at that, "that is the extent of my cooking ability, we're also pretty much banned from our Lester's kitchen after a few .... mishaps,"

That was a bit of an understatement Cutter.
