Imagine: The List
Fic posted by members of Vo's Imaginings YahooGroup


Up at Global Dynamics, Allison is pacing the floor waiting for somebody to come pick her and the babies up.

 

Why,” she growls at a smirking House, “can't I just drive myself home?”

 

“Because you gave birth just a couple of days ago, do you really feel like moving, bending, getting everything. . . and everyone,” he waves at the babies sleeping peacefully in their new car seats. “inside your car. . .then having to drive home? Besides your car isn't here anyway, you haven't been able to fit behind the wheel for the last few months.”

 

“Which should have been a clue that I was having more than one baby.” Allison snorts as she finally sits down, wincing slightly.

 

“Nathan Michael and Alexis Anne are the son and daughter of two of the most powerful magic users in Eureka, their auras are off the charts now. And remember the ultrasounds came back inconclusive.”

 

“And I didn't want my pregnancy checked magically, I knew the baby was healthy.” Allison sighs. She looks up as Nathan comes into the room. “Finally.” she mutters.

 

He smirks as kisses her lightly on the cheek. “Sorry, I had to drop Josette and Greta off at school so they could take the tests to be placed at school and already the Principal has called to complain because the girls wouldn't install the tracking software that Tesla uses on their software. The girls supplied their own computers.” He says at Allison's look. “She threatened to to refuse to give them accounts on Tesla's intranet, Greta told her I had already given them accounts to the whole system, not just the small area set aside for Tesla. I had to stop and pick up firewall packages that didn't have the tracking software included for them, the Principal isn't happy but there's not really anything she can do about it. Poor baby,” Nathan smirks evilly. “She's the one who wanted them there, I don't know what they have planned for her, but from the betting pool her brothers and sister have going, it's bound to be . . .interesting.”

 

“That's the polite for it.” A voice snorts from the doorway and Jo walks in. “My sisters are stubborn little shits and if you tell them to do something they don't want to do, it just makes them worse. Josette's adopted, but she still gets it from Dad, just like the rest of us.” She reaches over and picks up one of the baby carriers as Dr. Stark takes the second one, following House and the nurse. . .Allison grumbling in the wheelchair, out to the front of the building where Nathan's car is waiting.

 

A motorcycle is parked by the car and Jo gets on, pulling a helmet off the handlebars. “Oh the Doctors want to see you if you have the time.”

 

“I want to see this bus you've been talking about, Gregory and I haven't met any of the newcomers either.”

 

“Well, you had an excuse, but House was just too busy tormenting the nurses.” Nathan snorts. “I have to drop the computer programs off anyway, I won't stay long because I still need to get you home. Gregory can follow us since he finally is taking a day off.:”

 

House gets on his own motorcycle and the two bikes make an escort for Nathan's car out of the parking lot. Nathan mumbles under his breath about annoying childre as Allison giggles and pats his arm. “You'd miss him if he was gone, and you know it.” she tells him.

 

“Et tu, Allison?” he says.

 

They finally pull up in front of the bus parked by the guest house and Jo gets off the bike, putting up the kick stand and walking it to the back where a ramp extends to the ground.

 

Allison gets out of the car, leaning on Nathan's arm. . .she's still sore from the recent birth even if she doesn't want to admit it, but a good soak in hot water and healing herbs will have her feeling better when she gets home. That's the only problem with the infirmary, there's not tubs where somebody can soak.

 

Jo comes back from putting the bike away and takes the baby carriers and diaper bag from Nathan before leading the way to the bus. Allison squeals when the back of the bus disappears before Jo would have reached it, showing a hallway that seems to go on forever.

 

“Everybody's in the library,” Jo says over her shoulder. Nathan nods and they head that direction. Allison giggles when she sees two Daniels sitting at the table, books scattered the length of the table they're sitting at while Jack and Mini-Jack make mocking faces behind their backs. At least until one of them, Allison isn't sure which one since they're both wearing what Daniel normally wears when he's not on Atlantis, reaches back and swats him on the side.

 

“That hurt.” Jack pouts, whining a little, his lips trembling. But the mischievous look in his eyes tell everybody he's not really hurt. “Want some cheese to go with that whine, Jack?” Jo says as she comes into the room. Jack and his clone turn when she enters the room, all thoughts of bothering Daniel, either of them, leaving their heads instantly.

 

“There's my brother and sister,” they say in unison, bounding over and bumping into each other as they stand over the baby seats Jo puts down on another table. Daniel looks up momentarily at the noise and one of them makes the ultimate sacrifice of putting down his book and actually getting up from the table to come look at the babies.

 

“They're gorgeous Allison,” Daniel kisses Allison on the temple and settles back with his book. “Jack, you said you were going to get me some hard drives and a scanner?” He calls absently.

 

“Yeah yeah, I'll get around to it. Slave Driver.” Jack complains.

 

“Josette has a whip somewhere if you want to borrow it.” 9th Jack Harkness says with a smirk. “She got it on the road trip after Strife had an oops and made some of her plot bunnies mutate.”

 

The 9th Doctor looks at his Jack, sighs, hands Jackson off to the Immortal Doctor, grabs his Jack by the hand, and drags him out of the room.

 

“Turn on the soundproofing if you're going to fuck the insanity out of him.” Buck calls absently. “Not everybody needs to hear it and Josette isn't here to channel the energy into a pwp.”

 

“PWP?” the 9th Doctor asks just inside the library door.

 

“Plot, what plot?” His Jack says. “Basically it's pure sex. Or sometimes it's just a short scene when the bunnies come up with something that won't fit in a story but she just has to share with the others on her lists.”

 

“Pure crack with no redeeming value?” The 9th Doctor asks, having Josette and Greta say that before.

 

“usually what she calls the non sex pwps.” Buck says. “Those are the bunnies that drive Josette insane, she just has to write the scene because it won't leave her alone until she does. Sometimes she might go back and expand it into a real story, mostly it's 'there, the fucking thing is written, happy.'”

 

“You wanted to talk to me?” Nathan asks.

 

“Oh yes, I hate to bother you today,” the 8th Doctor asks. “But do you. . .”

 

Jack tosses over his tracker. “It's got a search feature, Josette might have one somewhere on the bus. If not ask Purlina if she knows if Greta has one.”

 

“Purlina?” the 4th Doctor asks.

 

“Lady Purlina?” 9th Jack asks. The door opens and a half grown black persian kitten walks into the room, stopping halfway into the room to stretch first one back leg and then the other before jumping onto one of the perches scattered around the room. The others had wondered what they were for, now they know. She tilts her head in Jack's direction.

/Yes Jack?/ A voice says out of nowhere. Everybody jumps and starts looking around, everybody but the 9th Doctor and his Jack who just grin.

 

Nathan stares stunned as he finally realizes it's the kitten that's talking. Mentally he slaps himself for not checking Josette or Greta for magical abilities, the kitten is obviously a familiar.

 

“Is Greta busy?”

 

/My idiot child and her sister are merrily plotting the destruction of Tesla school, one teacher at a time./ Purlina sighs. /I apologize for the impending loss of sanity of your teachers, Dr. Stark. There's nothing that can be done when those two are in that mood, other than hope like hell they get over it quickly and they don't decide you're a target too./

 

Dr Stark nods. “Our Principal is one of Thorne's chosen people, she got rid of the woman who had been principal so she'd have one of her cronies in charge of the school. She's not actually bad, she just doesn't have a knack for dealing with the students.”

 

/Put me down for two weeks for how long it takes the idiot twins to drive her to a nervous breakdown./ Purlina jumps off the perch and strolls out of the room.
