Relax, I'm not going anywhere (Cerdian)
Lian sat on the floor of her living room, playing with Alex. She had taken a blanket and laid it down on top of the rug, and put up a couple of pillows as a barrier to keep him from trying to roll away. At almost three weeks old, his little eyes darted around the room, with a wide curious look in them. Lian tickled under his little chin, smiling as he looked up at her, sucking on his thumb.

Lian cooed and nudged noses with Alex, kissing the top of his head, and it stung at her to think that she should be doing this with two babies, and not just one. Thinking about Donna hurt, and it reminded her that they weren't any closer to finding her and Damien then they were three weeks ago. She had every notion to go down and track Damien down herself, but everyone else seemed to know that that was on Lian's mind, and someone always found a reason to show up at her doorstep, even though Cerdian had barely left her side since Donna was taken.

Lian looked up at Cerdian, who had taken to standing over her and Alex.

"You're hovering again."

Cerdian looked down, trying to feign shock. He was very, very bad at doing so.

"Hovering? Oh no. Alex was looking up at something on the ceiling and I was just trying to see what it was. I can't find it, though. Can you?" Cerdian asks, looking up at the ceiling again and pointing.

Of course, there was little violet spot that seemed to move along the ceiling in time with his finger, which was what caught Alex's attention.

He didn't /mean/ to hover, but Cerdian /knows/ Lian. She could sneak out of Fort Knox with twenty guards standing ten feet away if she was given ten seconds and a quiver of arrows. He knew what was on her mind and he wanted to stop her from doing something dangerous, because Alex was still here and needed her.

"Do you want some ice cream? What about something to eat?" Cerdian asks for what is actually the sixth time...this hour.

Lian raised an eyebrow. "Yes, you're hovering," she said. "It's become your new superpower." She smirked a little as she played with one of Alex's hands.

"I'm fine," Lian said for the sixth time in this hour. She had lost track of how many times that he had asked her in the course of the entire day.

Granted, Lian had really only been eating just enough. Sleep was something she was barely doing, even when she did have the time to do so.

"Why don't I play with Alex for a bit and you can go lie down or read or watch some TV? You haven't really watched that show you like lately. The one with the shoot-outs and car chases.

Don't you have some episodes recorded? Or, we could watch it together. All three of us." Cerdian suggests.

"What do you think, Alex?" Cerdian asks the baby.

"I'm fine," Lian said. "I'm not really in the mood for TV, anyway."

Alex simply burbled.

"I agree, Alex. Mommy looks like she wants something to eat and then to relax. Do you want to tell her or should I?" Cerdian asks him.

"Okay, I will tell her, but you should play with her for a bit." he says.

"Lian, I'd like it if we can do something together, you and I. Something to help us calm down just a bit, for a little while." Cerdian suggests.

"What if we watch Star Wars? All of them?"

Lian sighed. "I keep telling you I'm fine," she said.

"And we both know you're humoring me. I'm just worried about you, Lian. Maybe I should go for a walk. Give you and Alex some time alone." he says.

"You don't have to go," Lian said. And really, she didn't want him to.

Cerdian walks over to Lian and sits down behind her, starting to massage her shoulders and neck.

"Tell me what you need from me, my love." Cerdian says.

"I'll do whatever I can to keep you from climbing up the walls right this moment."

Cerdian's fingers knead Lian's flesh, taking care to pay attention to any knots, of which he finds several.

She's had it so badly lately; he wants to find Donna and make everything okay for Lian. He has to.

"Look, Alex. Mommy is relaxing. Doesn't she look happy?" he asks.

"He looks just like you when he's relaxed." Cerdian says.

Lian sighed. "That feels really nice..."

She iddly played with some of Alex's hair.

Cerdian continues the massage for as long as Lian will sit, until finally, he looks down at two of his favorite people.

"Okay, I'd like some ice cream now. Anyone else need anything while I'm up?" Cerdian asks.

"Ice cream sounds good," Lian said. "I think Alex needs to be changed." She picked him up, heading to the nursery to change him.

When Lian returns, Cerdian has a big bowl of ice cream ready for them to share, the way they used to when they were kids.

Lian smiled, walking over to couch, holding Alex on her hip.

Cerdian holds out a spoonful of strawberry to Lian.

"How is it?" he asks.

"It's very good," Lian said, smiling.

Alex made cooing sounds.

"You can't have any ice cream yet, Alex."

"Alex, when you are a little older, we'll set you up with your own little bowl of ice cream. You'll get as much as you like." Cerdian says, smiling at the little baby.

He takes a bite, then spoons up a bit more for Lian.

"Donna too," Lian said, eating some more ice cream. "We are going to get your sister back."

"Yes, we are, Alex. Then you and your sister can argue about who gets the last of the ice cream. You may also help us finally solve the riddle of which is better.

Lord of the Rings or Star Wars." Cerdian says.

"Mind you, this is not really a riddle, but your mother refuses to acknowledge the truth, though she may if it comes from your mouth and Donna's." Cerdian says, eating another spoonful.

"Hey! No brainwashing my son," Lian said, smirking.

She wiped some drool off of Alex's chin.

"Cerdian knows the superior movie, he just doesn't want to admit it. He's occasionally stubborn."

"I am not stubborn, Alex. Mommy is stubborn. And it is not brainwashing if you are telling the truth." Cerdian tells him.

"Mommy is not stubborn," Lian said. "Mommy is right."

"That's what /all/ mommies say, Alex. Even my mommy says it to justify lots of things that she knows are not really right and my dad had to call her on it, just like I have to call your mommy on it.

Such is the way of the world, Alex. Someday, you too shall need to perform this sacred task." Cerdian nods solemnly.

Lian laughed, as Alex looked at Cerdian wide-eyed. "Cerdian's very silly, isn't he, Alex?"

"Alex, Mommy is only laughing because she doesn't want to admit I'm right. She's done this as long as I've known her. You will see it's true as you get older." he smiles, tapping on Alex's little nose, which earns him a smile from the baby.

"That is not true. His mind is like a sponge, you know. You're filling it with incorrect information about me!" She laughed again.

"Lian, I have known you for most of your life. Who better to tell your son of what he is in store for over the years as his Lian-genes call out for him to find the wildest ideas in his head and enact them?

I can't wait to see your face when he decides he wants to rappel down the side of the Outsiders' base or go skydiving...at seven years old." Cerdian laughs.

Lian groaned. "Don't say that, please. You'll put ideas in his head."

"Alex...you want to be as non-adventurous as possible. You don't want to know if sharks really eat people, because they do. You don't want to jump off buildings or eat ten pounds of bacon in a single day.

Can I trust you to adhere to these rules, my friend?" Cerdian asks.

Alex gurggled.

"I think he's telling you maybe."

"That sounded like a 'No problem, Cerdian' to me. Which one was it, Alex? Can you help us?" he asks.

Alex became interested in Cerdian's shirt, staring at it intently.

"I think it was a 'maybe'," Lian said with a smirk.
