After a the hectic pace of the last few weeks, Isabel was grateful for some downtime, even if it meant she had too much time to think about fun with the kids and saying goodbye.

But things were slowly returning to normal. She'd covered library, had breakfast with Cedric, spent time with friends, and fulfilled StuCo responsibilities. Looking at the two packages sitting on her desk, Isabel realized that some things had slipped through the cracks. She made two phone calls then settled down to do some studying.

Aeryn opens the door and gives her a little smile when she steps in, greeting her with "Hey."

"Happy Birthday!" Isabel smiled. "Just a little late."

"Thank you," she says. "I'm surprised anyone remembered, actually."

"I remember the party last year," she explained. "And who was celebrating with me."

"And yours was prom," Aeryn says. "I'm sorry, I was a bit distracted. Happy birthday."

"We all were distracted on prom," Isabel laughed. "It's completely understandable. Did you have fun?"

"I did," she says. "You obviously put a lot of effort into it."

Aeryn couldn't tell you who all plans it. She knows Isabel.

"It was fun. Plus a good distraction from everything else," she explained. "But if I ever have to do it again? I'm just going to program the danger shop."

Isabel got to her feet and went to her desk, returning with a small package. "Here, this is for you."

"You really didn't have to," she says, but opens the package. "That's beautiful," she says, because ooh. "Thank you."

"I think it'll make a nice contrast against your shirt," Isabel grinned. "And I didn't have to. But I wanted to. I'm just sorry I didn't get it to you earlier in the week. My hands were a bit full."

"I can't imagine why," Aeryn says dryly, though she might be focusing on the necklace a bit more. "Were you that busy?"

"Not as busy as some people," she said. "I only had two."

"I had one." She pauses. "And John had another, but I tried to avoid her whenever possible."

"You and John?" Isabel asked. "And John and who?" She couldn't imagine who John could have possibly have had a kid with besides Aeryn.

"Rita Skeeter," she says, just watching for the reaction.

Isabel stared. Then laughed like a loon.

"That was my reaction. I don't think John appreciated it," Aeryn smiles.

From: [identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com
"That's just too funny," she said, still laughing a bit. "Of course now I'm scaring myself imagining a reality were John and that woman actually had a kid together. Because that's just wrong on so many levels."

Aeryn visibly shudders. "I hated that child. Just... no. No."

"She had her mother's sparkling personality?" Isabel teased. "I wound up with a seven year old chatterbox and a four year old with a hair gel fetish. I think you can guess who his dad was."

Her eyes widen. "That's genetic?"

"Possibly? Either that or he just imprinted on a bottle of hair gel as a newborn," she shrugged. "But he was adorable. And Alexandria, god, I don't think she ever was quiet."

"Was that a bad thing?" she asks.

"Not bad bad," Isabel laughed. "I just feel for her mom. I don't think she gets a minutes peace until after bedtime. But she was a good kid. Sweet, happy, and thrilled to finally meet her father."
