[Dulcie's living room is unusually full of baby things today. Nathan isn't exactly an unusual feature, but Stephen Stills' cat probably is. Little Neil is held up to the camera in a more than slightly ridiculous Christmas outfit. Nathan has claw marks across his face, but that doesn't seem to have any impact on his mood. He looks tearfully proud of the unhappy cat in his arms. For once it looks like it might even be genuine.]

Isn't he the cutest? I think he's got your eyes. And your smile.

[The cat is... definitely not smiling. He's pretty confined in his current position, but that doesn't stop him grumbling warningly. Nathan doesn't even notice, leaning forward to kiss Dulcie, who's giggling from the other end of the camera. Nathan's obscuring the view at this point, but an angry hiss can be heard as Neil struggles free, and the camera refocuses on him stumbling his way over to the other side of the room. Stupid elf shoes.

After watching Neil find a suitable hiding place, Nathan turns back to beam at the camera.] He's coming along so fast. I can't believe how well he's crawling already.

[ooc: Both Nathan and Dulcie are affected by it's a Boat, it's a Bug, it's Ours. Dulcie and Little Neil godmodded lovingly with Marion's permission.]

NO YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

Nathan won't let us get a cat. I always forget to feed them.

[designedtoparty]

Well, you know what starving cats are like. They'd probably try eating Neil's face off.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

That would be not good. I like his face.

[designedtoparty]

Which is exactly why we should remain petless.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Besides, I don't need a pet when I have you.

[designedtoparty]

Do you normally fuck your pets, or am I an exception?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Just you.

[Kiiiiiiiss.]

[designedtoparty]

[Aw, Dulcie. You make him feel so special.]

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[It's too long before a slightly strangled 'meow' comes from the other side of the apartment. Dulcie gives him a shove.]

Come on, get off. I'll go get him.

[designedtoparty]

[Nathan pouts, flopping back on the floor.]

Can't we just leave him with his toys a bit? He's been getting attention all morning.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[Dulcie comes back with a purring Little Neil in her arms.]

He's a baby. They need attention.

[designedtoparty]

[Nathan sighs, retrieving a soft rattly octopus to wave at him.]

I know, I know... I guess he's not so bad so far as babies go.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[She snuggles him in closer to her chest and gives him a kiss on the head.]

He's a little better than 'not bad'.

[designedtoparty]

He's a fucking nightmare is what he is.

[But... that doesn't stop him scooting closer so he can get attention out of him, too. Stop being a baby hog, Dulcie.]

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[Dulcie leans into his arms. Family cuddles time!]

[designedtoparty]

[Nathan grins, taking the opportunity to poke Neil's nose affectionately.]

You ever think about having any more of these?

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME.

[awkwards]

He's a - [ She'll do this with Nathan. He's a complete dumbass. Dulcie is not. ]

Will Nathan forget to feed the cat if you got one?

[ This entire thing is driving her nuts. ]

YOU'RE WELCOME

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

It's very likely. I don't think we'd be good pet owners.

[awkwards]

When did you get him? Or - Is he adopted?

[ This is going to break her brain. ]

[designedtoparty]

He isn't adopted. She gave birth to him. From her vagina.

[awkwards]

[ WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT THAT ONE STEP FURTHER. ]

But he's a - [ Why. Why. Why. Why is she even saying this anymore? ] - When's his birthday?

[designedtoparty]

How would I know? I can barely remember when my own birthday is. I let Dulcie deal with all that shit.

[awkwards]

Do you know anything about your kit-kid?

[designedtoparty]

His name's Neil. And I'll probably start remembering his birthday once he's had a few of them. He hasn't even had his first one yet. There's time.

[awkwards]

[ You're unbelievable. ]

You're going to make a great dad.

[ And she's not even sarcastic, what is this. Despite his douchebaggery, she thinks Nathan wouldn't be a total fuck up when it comes to taking care of a kitten. Plus, he's a child himself, sometimes. ]
