Trooper Station, Saturday

[solesofmyfeet.livejournal.com]

There were some weekends that were more distracting than others. Such as the ones where children arrived all over the town, claiming that various people were their parents.

Unfortunately for Vimes this, as last time it happened, took the form of a baby in his office. Cooing at him.

And chewing on it's hand.

There was a moment of staring at one another before Vimes reached for the intercom. "...Ralph, diaper change."

Mei toddled over to look, but all she could see were Vime's legs. "Dun want," she declared since she didn't see anything she liked.

He sighed, rubbing his forehead. "A story then?"

"Story!" Mei's eyes were big and hopeful. She liked stories!

Gods help him. "Sit," he said, waving over at where she'd been before. Then he pulled out the one book for children that he owned. "It's called 'Have You Seen My Cow?'"

Mei took her seat and stared up at him with wide eyes. He was going to tell her a story!

After he started she shook her head. "Haven't." But she knew what a cow looked like, so if she saw it she could totally tell him!

Vimes stared for a moment. "Right."

He cleared his throat and moved on.

"Where is my cow? Is that my cow? It goes 'baaaa'."

"Cows don't go baaaa!" Mei interjected.
