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.

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"I kind of hope you're right. I'm all for having you to myself until then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled and gave his hand a squeeze. "You can always have me all to yourself whenever you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	young_swimmer 2012-03-05 06:03 am UTC (link)
	"I know," she said. "I would never do that to my sister." Cait squeezed his hand. "No more talk about Atlantis or my parents. At least for the rest of the day if possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think we can manage that. How was work?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-03-05 06:14 am UTC (link)
	"Is it work if you really love what you do?" Cait asked. "It was wonderful as always. We had a few groups of kids from Big Brother, Big Sister in today. They loved the tour and especially the penguins." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Its work if you get paid for it. Glad you're enjoying it... sounds like a great tour group." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-03-05 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	"I suppose," she said. "I am enjoying it. It's a great job." Cait smiled. "The kids were great. They asked a ton of questions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, you usually seem to come home in good spirits, so I thought it was going well. They'll be promoting you to some kind of management in no time at this rate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't want to be a manager. I get enough of /that/ kind of stuff in Atlantis. I just want to help where I can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I suppose that's true, on Atlantis. And I know having you there has helped them out a ton." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
