Not So Happy Birthday (Peter, Open to anyone there, the more the merrier, do whatever!)

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

The cruise for Peter's birthday was absolutely perfect. Peter loved it. He loved that he got to spend the time with his friends and family and there certainly were a lot of those around tonight... He was thrilled to hear Spectre and Derek Sherinian playing, and Deirdre sang occasionally too. It was wonderful. Even if he had doubled the amount of pain killers he was taking just to numb his stupid aching head. Once he was headache free, he was able to enjoy himself immensely. He had a wonderful chat with Dimitri and Sergei, and he laughed as Tasha danced with Hope and Fiona all at once. He danced with Aly too. And then with his daughters all in turn. Even Caleb wanted to dance, but only so he could stand on Peter's shoes and get a 'ride'. Lavannah was sitting by the railing chatting with Gavin, though she was watching Johanna with someone else who Peter recognised was Will. Evey kept running up to Will and then darting away again to chat with Deirdre and her girls as well. Every time there was a break in the music, Spectre was followed around by Jacinta and Edward Montgomery, and they proceeded to parent him. He looked oddly pleased. Abigail and Stuart were dancing and looking quite happy. Even Robert looked okay, though he hung back away from the action. Thomas was talking with Mary and Kat who was rolling her daughters back and forth in the stroller as she talked. People were everywhere, dancing and laughing and eating.

And then Peter started to feel a little strange. He excused himself from Aly's presence and he slipped down under the deck into one of the small hallways so he could lean up against the thin wall. It might be that he was just a little motion sick, but the cruise had ended about twenty minutes ago and the boat was now docked. It was gently rocking back and forth, but nothing major. And still Peter felt incredibly dizzy. He put a hand to his head and he crouched down a little, willing himself not to be sick.

Kay smiled as she turned to see that he had followed her, even though she'd expected it. She placed her arms loosely around his neck and beamed at him as she started to move to the music. "Having fun?" she asked him.

"Couldn't be better," Tamm responded. Dancing here with Kay, surrounded by his friends and one of the best parts of his family - his little sister - how could he be anything but having fun? "This could last forever, and I'd be okay with that, y'know?"

"Yeah, I know," she said gently. "It was such a good idea to do this for Peter, I hope he has a great birthday." Kay moved onto her toes to reach up and kiss Tamm, and she continued smiling at him.

"Lookin' at this place, these people, I don't reckon it could be anythin' but. Tasha and Aly really outdid themselves for this." He grinned and lifted Kay to twirl her about, just for the hell of it. "I'm so glad you were here for it, my love."

Kay giggled a little as he picked her up, and she nodded. "They're clever, thinking of this," she said, now looking around the place. She wouldn't have thought that this was a boat, it was huge and gorgeous.
