Summary: Mel is avoiding Apollo's babycrazetaking some time to practice her guitar.



Playing the guitar around an annoying pregnancy belly was a little bit of a challenge. But once she got herself situated, it wasn't too bad. She strummed something simple on the acoustic instrument, making sure it was properly tuned. The simple tune turned into a song and she hummed along with it. Hey if Marilyn Monroe could play One Silver Dollar, so could she. And she also loved the movie River of No Return, so there. Marilyn Monroe was the shit.

She nodded against his shoulder. "Let me lose... the freeloaders and, we'll... figure it out."

"I am so..charging my kid rent."

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

That startled a laugh out of her. "No shit? What are you gonna charge?"

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"How much..or what for?" He teased.

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

"How much. I know what for."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"Well, gotta be realistic. Kid's only source of income for awhile is going to be through me, so I may wait until high school when she has a job," he reasoned.

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

"Tell me you plan on charging back rent."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

He looks at her like she's crazy. "Hell yeah."

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

Well she is, so... "Oh good. I'd hate to think you'd pass that up."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

He may not be entirely sane himself. Who knows. "Well if she works hard I may go a little easier on her, but that's a big 'if'>"

"Okay okay, enough kid talk. It's gonna start killing my afterglow."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"You started it," he teased.

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

"I only vaguely referred to them in context of being thinner and therefore more flexible."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"Okay, okay," he concedes, stealing a quick kiss. "Not that I'm complaining, but..how long have we been down here?"

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

"Hell if I know. I wasn't exactly counting the minutes while we were fucking like rabbits on X." There was a compliment buried in there somewhere.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"Rabbits are fucking posers," he joked.

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

"Point well made."

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

"Hey, Boss. You down here? Guess who can add 'medical tech' to her resume... Oh. Hey. Sorry. Were y'all in the middle of something?"

Seth starts a bit at the sound of Tara's voice, but recovers quick.

"Hey babe," he greets with a weary smile. "Not at all, we just finished. Mel, this is my girl, Tara. Tara, Mel."

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

Mel just waves to Tara, utterly unfazed by being walked in on while she was sitting naked on Seth's lap. "Hey." She glances around for that shirt of hers. "Where'd you throw my shirt?"

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

"Hey. Looks like it's over there. I'd make some comment about hoping you didn't tire him out too much, but really, seeing if he can get tired out should be done from time to time in the interest of Science. Boss, I wanted to talk business."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"Sure, Tara," Seth said, using his newfound strength to easily, and carefully help Mel stand up. "What's up?"

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

"I know we're all stuck here, and I know teamwork is the order of the day, but exactly how far are we going on disclosure with everyone?"

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"Good question," Seth said while moving over to his discarded underwear and pants. "Gven the situation, perhaps some discussion is warranted, though we should keep the full extent of our resources under wraps."
