Library [07/12]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

After Photography, Rory finished making sure all the copies of the newsletter were out and spamming the flist before opening the library.

As soon as she had the door propped open, she set her things down and went back out to drag the rather large fan she had brought with her.

Making sure it was on the oscillating function so nothing would blow away, she contentedly curled up behind the desk with her book.

[Open! No OCD! Summer yay!]

"She's fine," Rory said. "So is he. He's tiny."

"He is! And he stopped crying when I bounced him!" Parker blinked, then looked abashed. "I mean. I thought they just cried, no matter what."

"He hasn't cried at all when I've held him, or the people who I've introduced him to," Rory said with a small smile. "He's really insanely well-behaved."

"We're sure he's related to you guys, right?" Parker grinned. "Or does he become more talkative and hyper after you sneak the Jamaica Blue Mountain into his bottle?" She looked wistful. "You're so lucky."

Rory shrugged. "I just saw Gigi, too, who so does not seem like my sister at all. We look way different and she's much...louder."

"She's what, two?" Parker smirked. "I imagine when she can speak in complete sentences, it'll only get worse." She cocked her head. "Still. Very much congratulations." She fiddled with her camera case, and said quietly, "Thanks for letting me know when it happened."

"No problem," Rory said. "And she's one. It's Dad's fault, mostly."

Parker looked up, amused. "Your dad wants her to yell?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"No, Dad gives her what she wants and has apparently forgotten how to say 'no'," Rory said, smirking.

"Oh, he'll suffer for *that* later." Parker shook her head, looking appalled. "I would assume. Since the only little people I've been around are the virtual maniacs the Danger Shop creates."

"It's because Sherry left," Rory sighed. "But still. She's going to be a nightmare once she's older."

Parker sobered. "I'm sorry for your dad. And for Gigi. But yeah. That's-- not a good idea." She thought of her own dad's parenting strategies, and grimaced. "Does he have a nanny, or a babysitter, someone else for her?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"A nanny," Rory said, nodding. "But still, it's not the same. Hopefully Mom and Luke'll have a better handle on Bucky."

"There's two of them. And there's you, even if you don't live at home. Sooo...." She shook her head, then smiled. "Anyway. Thanks for letting a library alumna get some shots of the former workplace. I hope SC isn't cranky about it later."

"It better not be," Rory said, making a face in the direction of Special Collections. "I might go back to put things back later, just in case."

"Smart. I'll see you back at the camp." Parker waved over her shoulder as she left. "And you'll get copies!"
