Who: Bobby & Sam (with Lewis and Annie)
What: Play in the snow. (Yeah, you read that right.)
Where: In the fields.
When: Saturday afternoon
Rating: PG (for now)
Status: Incomplete



It was almost like a custody arrangement. Sam showed up early in the morning at his door, Lewis and Annie fed and excited. They still weren't talking, the tense atmosphere between them just thick enough to make both uncomfortable as the twins threw themselves into Bobby's waiting arms, talking a mile a minute. He'd nodded and left.

Bobby'd had the twins for several hours; a luxury he hadn't indulged in for...far too long if the twins' constant reminders were anything to go by - and they were. They spent the morning inside, reading and watching movies, singing and playing games. Bobby put on an impromptu ice puppet show, which naturally prompted a trip outside to play in the icy field. He made sure they ate lunch first, then walked outside with them a little hand in each of his own.

An hour later Bobby was running across the snow - carefully slow so Lewis and Annie could keep up - an ice sword in his hand, and a scarf tied across his middle.

"Noooo!" he shouted dramatically, "Not my treeeeasure!"

He leapt over an ice polar bear and skidded, striking a pose. The twins giggled, leaning into the sculpture and catching their breath. Their eyes rounded when the ship started to rise from under him and scurried up the gangplank (complete with deep, well balanced steps) to join him on the deck.

"ARRRGH! Avast me maties!"

The ship rocked - for effect - as it balanced out.

Sam watched and waited, not stepping in yet as Bobby hugged the pair of them close. He knew Bobby would never intentionally hurt or even frighten them, but if he was starting to have trouble keeping it together it would be better to get them out of there sooner rather than later. For everyone's good.

He settled a hand atop Lew's tousled hair and the other on Annie's shoulder even as the twins held tighter to Bobby. The kind of tight squeeze the preceded parting, as they both started to resign themselves to their day of fun being over. When Bobby's answer finally came they both launched themselves forward, which took some effort given they were already clinging to him, with joyful squeals.

"Inside's okay!" Lew answered immediately, having apparently forgotten his pleading to continue playing in the snow just moments before.

"We can make an art project!" Annie suggested, just as pleased as she bounced slightly in place.

Sam sighed silently in relief, lips twitching into a smile again. "You need help keeping 'em in line or you good on your own?"

If Bobby had known, he wouldn't have caved.

Straightening, he took them each by the hand and gave them firm squeezes. "No," he replied, still avoiding looking in Sam's direction, as he smiled at one twin and then the other. "We'll be fine."

"Okay." Sam nodded and tousled Lew's hair as he snugged in close to Bobby.

"You two be good then, an' I'll see you later."
