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!]

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.

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.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Did you set his kitchen on fire?" Teddy asked with wide eyes as he nomed on some bacon and looked at Cutter and Connor.

"Well not exactly... but there have been quite a few messes and accidents involving the kitchen to warrant the banning" he admitted, still wondering how it was that of everything that had happened in lester's various kitchens a full blow fire had not been one of them.

[itsananomaly]

"Actually considering our last efforts in his kitchen I'm kind of surprised we didn't set the place on fire," Cutter admitted sheepishly, "we ended up making a huge mess though that one time,"

Tabby rolled her eyes but she couldn't hide that grin, "oh I can't wait to tell Uncle James about this," she giggled.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Oh come on...." Connor said putting on a fake peading face, complete with puppy eyes. "You wouldn't go and do that to us would you Tabby?"

[itsananomaly]

Tabby's grin widened at that as she looked innocently at Connor, "I mean I don't have to," she teased, "what would I get out of it if I don't?"

Cutter just shook his head, "I think you've been spending too much time with Uncle James," he said with a fond smile.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor blinked and then smiled and laughed a little. "Definitly too much time with Uncle James... he's teaching you to be a shrewed negotiator just like him!" he added with a small chuckle and head shake.

[itsananomaly]

Tabby beamed at that, "so does that mean I get a reward?" she said, still looking innocently at Cutter and Connor.

"Can I get a reward too?" Teddy piped up from where he was halfway through his mountain of pancakes.

Cutter couldn't help but laugh a little at that, "what do you think?" he looked over at Connor fondly, "do you think these two deserve a reward?"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Oh I think a reward isin order. How about after this great breakfast is done we head out for a fun day on the island!?" Connor suggested with a grin. "We can go out to the beach and look for fossils..." he said, sounding casual and nonchalant, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

[itsananomaly]

"Yay," Teddy cheered, "I want to go explore the island, it's a great reward isn't it Tabby?"

Tabby smiled, "I think that would be acceptable, spending the day on the island,"

Cutter smiled fondly, "well I think its settled then, after breakfast we explore the island,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Perfect, I will make sure I find my explorer's hat for you Teddy" Connor said with a grin. "And we still have the fossil tool kits too right? I think they're in the back of the closet in the bedroom" he said as he looked over at Cutter.

"Oooohhh! Special hat, special hat!" Teddy said as he bounced excitedly in his seat and finished the piece of bacon he had been chewing on.

"Aye" Connor laughed. "Gotta make sure you are ready for the grand adventure. And Im sure we have another hat for you too, Tabby... if you are not too cool for one" he said with a playful wink.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter grinned at Teddy's enthusiasm, "yay special hats," Teddy cheered, even though Tabby looked a little unsure about the idea of wearing a hat, which Teddy noticed, "please Tabby,"

"Alright," she agreed with a small smile, "I'll wear the hat just this once,"

Cutter nodded, "I'm pretty sure the kits are still there," he told Connor.
