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.

"Yeah do!" Hope squealed. "They're SO cute, Jubilee! I love living with them the most. Totally. You can come over for dinner if you want! It's fine! And Zoe lives there!"

"I have canvases of many sizes. It helps to live in a house as large and Liz and Emma's. I paint on the sun porch. It's wonderful. I never saw this for myself, but I adore it."

"Oh awesome, I'd get to see all these cool people in one go, just like here!" Jubilee couldn't remember the last time she'd been so happy. Everyone was so nice here. She couldn't believe her luck at having so many good friends all of a sudden, after settling for friends that treated her pretty badly up until now.

"We're lucky to have you with us," Tasha said. "This certainly isn't where I expected life to take me, either. Not being surrounded by people like this. It's so much better than anything I ever imagined."

Fiona grinned at Tasha and she kissed the girl's forehead again. "Well I am glad to hear that. Exceeding our imaginations is a quite an incredible feat."

Tasha laughed softly. "Especially for someone whose hobbies used to include attempting to bring about the apocalypse, hmm?"

Fiona giggled. "Oh indeed. I must say I am pleased you never did accomplish that. I like being here."

"I like being here too. I promise from now on I'll only call upon the Devil for non-apocalyptic purposes," Tasha said with a grin.

"Ooh good!" Fiona laughed loudly. "Like devil's food cake? I like devil's food cake. We could call him for that!"

[empress-tasha.livejournal.com]

"Devil's food cake?" Tasha raised her eyebrows. That sounded like something with chilli in it. "Tell me more about this devil's food cake..."

[relinquite-spes.livejournal.com]

"It's just the best chocolate cake ever. Sort of reddish brown. I'll make you one soon if you'd like. Hope will help me, she loves that."

Hope bounced back to them, Jubilee in tow. "What about me!?"

"I'm going to make your girlfriend a cake and you will help!" Fiona answered.

"Awesome!" Hope grinned and then she handed them both several biscuits.

"Oooh, biccies." Tasha took a few and munched contentedly. "Have I mentioned lately that I have the best girlfriend? And that she has the best sister?"

"Awwww." Hope and Fiona both said at once, and then they giggled.
