The Park - Sunday Afternoon

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

After enjoying a delightful lie in followed by a wonderful breakfast in bed as prepared by the bestest mate in all the world, Wilson and Phale had bundled up and with a kiss at the edge of the Park they had both headed off on seperate errands. Wilson headed down to the bench to wait for Marie, while Phale headed down in to town.

Settling down on the bench, Wilson leaned back and watched the winter sunlight as it danced across the pond, a goofy little smile on his face as he might have issued a small burp; a lingering after effect of breakfast.

Marie had a lazy morning possibly with Jamie, I have no idea but finally got herself moving. She needed to meet Dr. Wilson in the park and then head back to her room to tackle more make-up work.

She had done a lot of thinking over the last forty-eight hours and, after her conversations yesterday with Parker and Jamie, she felt pretty confident that she made the right decision. She just hoped Dr. Wilson felt the same way.

Spotting him on the bench, she nervously made her way over. "Hi," she said, giving him a shy smile.

Turning away from his contemplation of the pond, Wilson smiled warmly and shifted to make room for Marie.

"Hello there, Marie. Please, join me?" Okay so he knew that they'd set this up but still, it never hurt to be gentlemanly.

Wilson's smile helped calm Marie's nerves as she took a seat on the bench next to him.

"It's a beautiful day," she commented. "I can't believe it's this warm in December in Virginia."

Chuckling, Wilson leaned back and looked a little wistful.

"I'm torn, it is nice to be able to be out in this weather but at the same time I kinda miss it being cold. I mean, hot chocolate sort of looses it's magic when it's 60 degrees outside."

Leaning his elbow across the back of the bench, Wilson rested his templed against his closed fist and looked over at Marie.

"So...you still want to do this?" He asked with a serious and focused air, wanting her to have the option to gracefully back out, if she'd decided he wasn't her best choice.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes. I talked to a few people and they both agreed you would be a good choice. I've thought about it a lot, but I can't come up with any other ideas of people who I think would be right."

Biting her lip, she continued, "I'll understand if you don't want to though." She had done some research too and knew it was a huge responsibility for him to undertake.

"Marie?" He said softly to make sure he had her attention. "I do want to do this for you. I spoke specifically with Aziraphale to see about asking Above to make sure he and I would be left alone for however long you needed me."

He wanted her to know that he did want to do this for her and gave her that reassurance in his facial expression as he spoke.

"But I do want to make sure that we both agree on what my role will be. What your expectations are and what my expectations are...okay?"

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"That makes sense," Marie agreed, her nervous tension dissipating as she smiled. "And it's hard to say for certain up front what I expect. I have no basis for comparison. I trust that you will have my best interests in mind if you're asked to make decisions on my behalf and that I can come to you with problems. Beyond that..." she shrugged. "Is there anything specific you've thought of?"

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"All I ask is that you're truthful with me." He said with a gentle smile. "I know, it goes against the teenager code book but I promise you, here and now that I will always listen to you and we'll work it out together. But I can't help you if you have secrets from me."

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"I think I can handle that," Marie assured him. "I'm not usually the secret keeping type."

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"In return I promise to keep my fingers firmly in my ears and go lalalalala over the usual mischief I hear coming out of the school on a daily basis." He said with a grin, figuring she might like to hear that he wouldn't make any sort of effort to actively be in her business without her coming to him about something.

Marie giggled. "Just don't believe anything you hear on the radio and I think we'll be good," she said.

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson snorted.

"If I believed everything I heard on the radio I'd believe my lover was hitting on the Ruler of Hell." And possibly scamming on kissing Bel and Marty... yes radio really had amused Wilson that night.

"Okay so, we covered truthfulness...next up would be... I promise to maintain a grip on my meddling but if something happens and I do have to ask you to listen to my wishes on something...well, just try to remember you say you trust me?"

Cally was wandering about, debating on whether or not she should spend the money she had made last night already.

She was having a distinct mental conflict, here. There might even be casualties.

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

When he saw her in her wandering, Wilson gave Cally a friendly wave but didn't want to disturb her if she was on her way to something specific.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally waved back, and headed over. "Hi sir," she said. "Nice day, huh?"

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon, Cally. Yes, it's a gorgeous day." He made room on the bench if she wished to join him. "How are you doing? Ready for finals?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally sat down. "Yeah, I think I am," she said. "You, uhhh, go over any projects yet?"

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

....

Ut oh.

"Errr, actually I'm going to start working on grading those later this afternoon." Patented doctor pause here. "Is there something I should be looking for specifically, Cally?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Oh, nothing," Cally said. "Was just wondering. That's all."

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson arched a dark eyebrow that said clearly he wasn't inclined to believe Cally, who could seem to work the 'innocent' expression a little too well.

"Uh huh..."

Why yes...he might have been a bit...concerned at this point.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally fidgeted a little, trying not to give anything away.

"I don't suppose you'd have interest in buying a lot of homemade alcohol?" she asked, trying to change the subject.

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Bah-link.

"Err...noooh." He said in a tone that indicated that he might not have even wanted to be aware that homemade alcohol existed on Fandom...AHEM!

"But...you might ask the owner of the Devil's Nest." Wilson suggested, because he hadn't made Lucifer twitch in a few days.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good idea," Cally said. "I haven't been there yet. Maybe I could get a standing order."

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you could at that." Wilson said encouragingly, his dark eyes twinkling with an impish light.

Thursday, Friday in his stroller and Pickwick the dodo on a leash headed towards the pond for some fresh air. Thursday let Pickwick off her leash, but the dodo didn't seem to want to go far.

Friday crawled out of his stroller himself and plonked down at Thursday's feet, clapping at the duck pond.

Thursday took a seat on the grass beside him.
