Stuff for Sale, early Monday morning

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"No knocking things over. No breaking things. No taking things without paying. No fighting, no crying, no ... I don't know, other stuff," Parker told the seven trailing after her like ducklings. "Let's find you guys clothes and pajamas, and you can all have at least one toy. And no, Jeffrey, I'm not buying you a computer. Talk to your dad."

[open! Parker's just getting the kids some stuff, but feel free to ping in and talk to her or them.]

"Dad's not here." Jeff pouted at as he poked at a couple Hawaiian print shirts. Apparently, bad taste was hereditery.

"Mom, when can I meet Dad?" Sophia asked, picking out a pink blouse and a pair of dark blue jeans with a butterfly pattern on them. She scowled at Jeffrey, and then Ben, who was trying to balance a pencil on his nose.

"You can meet him as soon as classes are over," Parker promised her. "And I don't know enough about computers to get you a decent one," she told Jeffrey. "I'll pay for it, but your dad and you have to pick it out together."

Having left Debbie fairly entertained for a few hours, Broots took off in search of Parker and his other off-spring.

Parker folded her arms when she saw him. "There you are. I assume Blair told you?" She shot Jeffrey a glance. "He wants a computer."

Broots starred at Parker, then at Jeff, who chose that moment to run over and give Broots a very tight hug. "Dad! Mom said I can get a computer if you help me choose one!" Broots stared at the boy, then at Parker, then back at Jeff, and back at Parker. "Uh..."

"Welllll?" Parker said dangerously. If she had to suffer, so did Broots. "Are you going to deny your offspring a computer? It's the only thing he's talked about since he got here."

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots blnked a few times and glanced down at Jeff. "Yeah, uh, computer. Yes, sure." Jeff grinned. "You're the best!" Broots looked at Parker with pure terror in his eyes. "Um..."

"I didn't ask, and you're not going to either," Parker said, putting her shades back on. "And you can drop him back at my room when you're done father-son geek-bonding."

"This is probably a bad time to ask about the popcorn in my bed, isn't it?" Jeff tried his best to look absolutely innocent.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker grinned, wide and wicked, then winked at Jeff. "No idea what you're talking about, Broots."

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Jeff winked back. Broots decided that he really, really didn't want to know. "Uh huh." He glanced around the store. "All these are yours?" He asked very weakly.

"Pending the results of a DNA analysis that absolves me of all responsibility, yes." Parker looked at them mournfully as Catie pulled something off a shelf to show her.

"Seeeeee, Mommy?"

Various items hit the floor along with the shoe she'd been reaching for.

Broots stiffled a laugh. "That one is definetly yours." "I'm an only child." Jeff sternly reminded everyone.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"All of you are, pretty much." Except Ben. "And she's also... yeah." Best not to get into the Daddy issue. "You two, have fun. Just bring him back when you're done finding whatever he thinks he needs." She shook her head. "Jeffrey?" She grinned wide. "Make your daddy play with you as hard as you like."

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots? Went back to looking terrified. Jeff grinned. "I will Mom!" "Okay, let's uh, go find you a nice computer that won't break." With another terrified glance around, Broots steered Jeff towards the computers.

After class, Billy took the kids down to Stuff for sale. They still didn't know how they got there, so who knew how long they'd be there?

Which meant they'd need some essentials. Like clean clothes and toiletiries and such.

"We'll need toothbrushes." Ana nodded. "And Tommy needs clean underwears." she whispered to Billy.

Billy snagged the back of Tommy's shirt as he tried to dash off.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah and a complete change of clothes for both of you. Maybe pajamas."

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

Tommy fell back in step with Billy, but as they passed the toy aisle, it was Ana who suddenly squeed and dashed off.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Ana! Hey!" Billy set off after her. Tommy took that opportunity to try to go exploring, so Billy had to quickly double back, grab up his son and tuck him under his arm, then hurried after his little girl.

Ana was to be found hugging a large stuffed Otter. She looked abashed when Billy caught up to her and she struggled to regain her composure. "Uhm, can I have this too?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy was not as yet, immune to the dreaded cute daughter technique, so naturally he said yes. Tommy got an Arachno-Man costume.
