Prompt: #169 Teddy Bear - Drabble Table
Word Count: 163

As soon as Kitty had seen it, she’d known she had to buy it. Three of them, actually.

The first had gone into the nursery. The second she’d had taken next door as a gift for Liz. The third she had though she could take into work on her own, to give to Elle.

She’d been wrong. And as she laid on the floor, trapped under the biggest teddy bear known to man, she realized her mistake. She reached in vain for the phone, stretching her arm as far as it would go, with no luck. After a few minutes of shouting for help, she gave up and laid her head down on the hardwood floor of her living room. She was stuck, afraid to phase, and not strong enough to push the enormous bear off of her.

“It figures,” she though. “I fight dangerous monsters every day, and I’m going to die crushed by a giant pile of fake fur and stuffing.”

I'm glad you like it! It took me forever to get the idea.

Logan says that with a real man, she'da been used to worse by now.

A real man would let her deal with worse than deal by stuffed animal?

She'd be used to getting crushed, anyway.

*scowl* Was that a sex reference?

Suddenly I do not envy Elle AT ALL.

You just don't know any better, sweetheart.

How could being crushed during sex be enjoyable?

Maybe I got enough talents to make up for it.

There's not enough talent in the world to make up for not being able to breathe.

Plenty'a people go for just that.

Weirdos.

Don't knock it till you try it.

Oh yeah, I can just see that going over well. "Hey John, how about tonight you try crushing me while we have sex?"

*shakes her head* It'll never happen.

*thinks about explaining for all of two seconds before deciding, fuck that, she's too damn cute all innocent*

Well... Nobody's perfect.

From: [identity profile] phasing-cat.livejournal.com
I don't need perfect. I'm happy with what I have.

[Wait a second, that didn't come out right. What she meant is that what she has is perfect for her. Dammit!]

From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
Hrm... [Don't worry, Logan actually missed that one completely.]

[And she's cranky because she's hungry, so she's going to put her hands on her hips and make a face.]

What's that supposed to mean?

[There are so many things he could say to that, so many things he wants to say... but he cares about her a great deal, and for once, he'll try to shut up and leave it be.]

That's all I wanna know.

[Mumbles under her breath]

You big... overprotective... galoot.

[And with that she jumps into his arms and hugs him tightly.]

From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
[He's a little confused at her reaction (on account of being an idiot), but he definitely has no objections, immediately putting his arms around her. After a second of just feeling her and breathing in her scent, there's something he wants to say, but he can't quite figure out how to say it.]

Tell me. If you're not.

[He'll always be there for her.]

From: [identity profile] phasing-cat.livejournal.com
[She sniffles and blinks back tears.]

The only thing that makes me unhappy is you not getting along with my husband.

Date: 2011-01-30 08:22 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
We get along fine.

[If it's a lie, it's not an intentional one. Logan really doesn't hate Myers. He's just... critical. No one's good enough for his Half-Pint.]

From: [identity profile] phasing-cat.livejournal.com
Um hmm. [That's the sound of skepticism.]

Then can you do me a favor?

[Pulls back and looks him in the eye, dead serious.]

That once the baby's born, you won't criticize him in front of him or her.

From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
[Whatever he was expecting, it wasn't this. He takes a moment to process the information, then nods. In the heat of the moment, of course, he may forget, but for now, he really does mean to keep himself to it.]

[She smiles and hugs him again, giving him a kiss on the cheek.]

You're going to make a great uncle.

Date: 2011-01-30 09:43 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
Hrm. We'll see.

[But he's smiling. Or doing what passes for a smile with him.]

Date: 2011-01-30 11:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] phasing-cat.livejournal.com
[She'll take that half-smile half-smirk, because he gives it so rarely.]

So do you have any name ideas?

Date: 2011-01-31 11:04 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
What, for you?

[He does mean for the baby; he's just having a hard time wrapping his brain around the idea. She's asking him? But he doesn't -... That's not up to him.]

Date: 2011-01-31 04:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] phasing-cat.livejournal.com
No, for my baby! And yours too, for that matter.

From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
[grumbles; that's what he meant! Why don't people just understand him when he says something completely different than he means to say......]

No idea. Elle wants to make his second name Logan. [which he kinda liked, but don't tell anyone] Ain't settled on a first name yet.

You?

From: [identity profile] phasing-cat.livejournal.com
Well, if it's a boy, I was thinking maybe Samuel, after my grandfather.

Or, you know... Charles. If you're not already planning on using it.

Date: 2011-02-01 06:40 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
No! No, that'd -... That'd be nice.

An' if it's a girl?

Date: 2011-02-01 07:36 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] phasing-cat.livejournal.com
Hrm, that's the harder part. John and I haven't really talked about it.

Date: 2011-02-01 07:41 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
Right...

[No, he's not saying anything. Not a damn thing.]

Date: 2011-02-01 07:48 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] phasing-cat.livejournal.com
Well, he should get a say in it, don't you think?

Date: 2011-02-01 08:29 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
'Course.

Do you have any ideas?

Date: 2011-02-02 01:58 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] phasing-cat.livejournal.com
Well, I can't name her Samuel, but maybe Samantha?

You really think so? It's not very unique.

Date: 2011-02-05 09:44 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 45825243-t78-a.livejournal.com
Unique ain't always good. You name your kid after a piece of fruit, I'm gonna eat it.

[now that earns a genuine laugh]

Deal!
