Happy Birthday, Princess!
When Cait gets home from work, Ty is all dressed to go out, not in his lab as usual.

<i>Happy Birthday, love. What do you think of going out for pizza to celebrate?</i> comes the telepathic question as she's heading up the walk. No huge deal, nothing fancy - but its always seemed to work fine for most of their occasions.

	"Thank you, my love," she replied as she opened the front door to the building where they lived. She was supposed to have the day off, but a coworker called in sick and Cait had agreed to cover the shift. "I would love to go out for pizza." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I had debated seeing if other people wanted to come along... and left a message. So we may get a call asking where we're going, but nothing too formal is planned. Hope you don't mind a possibility of company. Oh... and after dinner, maybe find a movie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds perfect to me," she said with a smile. "Just let me change real quick." She gave him a kiss before heading to the bedroom to change. "Does that possibility of company include my parents?" Cait hadn't heard anything from her mother or Arthur, but they usually never failed to do something for her birthday. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have a feeling they'll call, and try and do something with you eventually. I didn't go out of my way to invite them for pizza and a movie though. Doesn't quite seem their style." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I just don't want a surprise visit," she said as she emerged from the bedroom. "A nice quiet birthday would be nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know your parents. They'll visit when they want to visit. Likely by surprise. I'll do my best to keep this reasonably sedate for both of us though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait sighed. "I know." She slipped a hand in his. "I just wish they didn't like surprising me. Ready?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2012-03-05 03:14 am UTC (link)
	He gives her hand a gentle squeeze. "I don't think they even think about it. Not that used to electronics and all, so calling doesn't occur. At a guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-03-05 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"They probably don't, but I do wish they would learn to call ahead." They left the building and started walking along the sidewalk. It was a nice evening for a walk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He holds her hand as they walk, taking his time about the stroll. "That would be nice, but I doubt it will ever happen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-03-05 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"You're probably right," she said. "Though we may get a reprieve. Next week is my week in Atlantis, so they may just wait until then to celebrate my birthday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2012-03-05 03:57 am UTC (link)
	"I kind of hope you're right. I'm all for having you to myself until then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-03-05 04:13 am UTC (link)
	Cait smiled and gave his hand a squeeze. "You can always have me all to yourself whenever you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2012-03-05 04:16 am UTC (link)
	"Not quite. You do have some responsibilities, after all. But I figured we can probably manage pizza and a movie out, anyhow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-03-05 04:33 am UTC (link)
	"Allow me some delusions," she said. She leaned into him as they walked. "Though I will always make time for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2012-03-05 04:36 am UTC (link)
	"I know, and believe me, I appreciate it. Did you want me along in Atlantis this time, or do you want me to not be right there and making things worse when you break the news?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-03-05 04:48 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know," Cait said honestly. "Saying it's not going to go over well with Arthur is an understatement. I'm almost tempted to have Pippi go with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2012-03-05 04:51 am UTC (link)
	He can't help but laugh at that. "I admit, I'd be tempted too. Though then your mother would know something is up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-03-05 04:54 am UTC (link)
	"I know. It's hard to put anything past her. I'll let you know when it's time to head to Atlantis. I know I have to tell them, I'd just rather do it on my terms and when I want to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2012-03-05 04:59 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, absolutely. I'll go with whatever you think is best on this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-03-05 05:27 am UTC (link)
	"Not telling them until after we're married, but unfortunately that's not an option," Cait said. She was joking, but if there were a way to do it she would take that option. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then it wouldn't just be your father trying to kill us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know," she said. "Renouncing my claim to the throne would solve everything, but I wouldn't put that burden on Ash." Despite not liking a lot of the things that came with being a princess of Atlantis, Cait would shoulder the responsibilities instead of passing them off to her sister.

	"It would solve some things, while driving a rift between you and both parents. Its not a solution, tempting as it might be sometimes, your sister aside." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
