"Babe. I'm telling you. It'll be GREAT you have to meet them. You've met all the members of my family that AREN'T embarrassing, now it's time for you to meet my folks." Oh dear. Brandon Bale was sitting there on the sofa in the apartment he shared with Catherine, actually going over the possibility of introducing her to his rather... eccentric parents. "Besides, you'll love my mom. She's cool. She might find your hair kind of... weird... but she'll love you once she gets to know you. And my dad... jesus, it's like hanging out with Sin or someone else your age."
Catherine nodded. He had been willing to go to Russia and meet all of her family. It was the LEAST she could do to meet his. "So, other than your father being a giant kid, what exactly are your parents like? I mean, is there something I shouldn't say, or wear, or something?"
"Well, try not to wear anything too sexy. Mom won't care, but the last thing I need is my old man checkin' you out and nudging me, going 'Way to go, son'. Seriously. He's done it before." The look on his face? Yeah. He was serious. "And I told you. Mom's cool. Sometimes she comes of all uber-mother and acts sweet as a peach, other times she seems like a hard-ass. You never really know what yer getting with her."
"That's kind of creepy about your father," Catherine said. What? It was the truth, after all. "Your mother sounds very nice, though." Kind of like Catherine, in a way, since she could be a magnificent hard ass herself.
"Dad's nice too. He's been a GREAT father. I think... he's just not cut out for the 'husband' part of it." Which was, truly, the best possible way to explain the man to someone.
Catherine nodded. "OK, I think I understand," she said to him. "So, when do you want to do this 'meeting' thing, anyway?" She needed time to mentally prepare herself for this, though.
"Maybe next week? They both live right near the general Vegas area, and since we're gonna be helping get Kim moved out there, we can always stop by and see each of them. I think Blake's gonna be living with my Mom anyway."
Catherine nodded again. "Next week is fine," she said. "I still feel somewhat weird about letting my daughter live with some strange man who was a time traveler or something to that affect."
"Wasn't thrilled with it myself. But apparently, the girls who don't have someone in the immediate area to live with are being encouraged to stay temporarily with their watchers. And unless YOU want to move to Vegas..." He knew that right now at least, HE was happy here, as he and Meeghan's band was finally coming together.
She shook her head. "No, I need to stay here around my Watcher as well," Catherine said. This didn't mean that she had to like it, though. "I'm sure she'll be fine." And she seemed to know how to defend herself if something came up.
"At least that creepy little thing she's dating is moving too. We don't have to worry about Kimmers being lonely, at least. I'm gonna miss the goofball though. Weird as it was having her here... I kinda liked it." He admitted, smirking as he leaned in to kiss her forehead.
"I kind of liked having her around, too," Catherine admitted. "We can always get her to come and visit. She can even bring creepy girl along, as long as we don't talk to her too much, it should be OK." She thought about suggesting that maybe they could get to work creating her if he was going to miss her so much, but decided against it. She didn't want to scare him.
"They can come here anytime, babe. Or maybe we can go visit her. Give the poor dude she's staying with a breather." He snickered, knowing what a handful she could be to live with.
That actually made Catherine laugh. "I'm sure that he'll be ready to toss her out on her pink haired butt in about two weeks, but he's kind of stuck with her, isn't he?" The poor guy. Anyone that Catherine had a hand in raising had to be a bit wild.
"Heh. He really is. Poor sap. When she gets home, we should keep her up all night traumatizing her one last time to give her something to remember." Yeah. Obviously, Brandon was a fantastic influence as well.
Catherine giggled. "We can even joke that we're trying to make her or something," she said. OK, it was mostly a joke. For some reason, since Kim had arrived, Catherine had been kind of...wanting to have her.
"Is it wrong that I don't think that's an entirely bad idea?" He asked, wincing a little. "I mean... I know we're young, and we're not married or engaged even... and I'm not you know... saying we TRY to... but... why try NOT to? I mean... if it happens, I wouldn't be upset..."
She smiled at him. "I don't think it's a bad idea at all, actually," she admitted to him. "I wouldn't be upset if it happened, either. I mean, at least from when she was from, it apparently happened kind of soon, so, it wasn't that bad."
"And... the trying part is always fun..." He added, winking at her. How could he help it??? To him? Catherine was honest-to-god the hottest woman he'd EVER met. She was one of the few women that really never needed to worry about her man cheating. To him? Nobody else compared.
She grinned. "The trying part IS always fun," she agreed with him. She leaned forward and kissed him, showing just how much she wanted to start this 'trying' right now.
