Darker London-Uncover what is underneath...

Peter was still grinning after his run-in with an extremely hyper Thomas earlier that morning. Thomas had practically jumped all over him, saying things about a job and babies and love and life and it made Peter happy to his his best friend so...effervescent. Just like Thomas was supposed to be. Just like the Thomas he remembered from 14 years ago, though the things Thomas bounced around about then were not so much husbands and babies as God and the Bible. Ah, but life did go on.

Peter did not often take the time for long walks in the park. Namely because walks in the park usually consisted of walking in the park unless you were being quite existential about it. And Peter was not generally an outside kind of person. Perhaps it was that he spent so much time recently, locked up in a cave that forced him out of doors. Either way, he was actually enjoying the leisurely stroll he had decided to take that morning. Summer made him cheerful. So did the fact that he and Aly had celebrated the fact that both of their babies were now sleeping through the entire night by staying up the entire night playing games of their own. He felt like he was ten years younger, despite the fact that he was now going to age, having given up his immortality for Thomas. At this rate, it may never happen anyway! Or that was how he felt.

Aly's procedure had gone just as planned, and she was lying in the recovery room now, cradling little Lauren in her arms. "You're so beautiful." She whispered to her daughter. Daughter. She had a daughter she'd given birth too. A daughter that was partly her and partly her wonderful Peter, whom she adored more than life itself. It was a dream come true.

Peter was alone that afternoon, and he wasn't so pleased about it. Not that he blamed anyone for being where they were, of course. Renee and Deirdre were seeing Jude, Kait was helping Kat, Aly was with David. His sister and Emma were at work and all the kids were at school. Robert was at his other house, of course. Maybe he should go visit his friend. Peter had had enough of being alone lately, that was for damn sure.
