Who: Alice, Doc, and Wynonna What: Alice grew up overnight. WTF? When: During the kid plot (Sundayish) Where: Doc's apartment Status: Closed; Incomplete Rating: TBD
Arriving home after a quick trip to the store, Doc just finished locking up and kicking off his cowboy boots when there came a knock at the door. Doc glanced at the clock. Wynonna wasn't supposed to be over with Alice until a little later on so who could it be? Kady and Hannah? No. It was still too early for a child to be up and Kady. Well, after the test from yesterday, the two definitely needed a moment to digest that. It was negative, but those emotions it invoked would take time to process. At least they had Hannah for now. Making his way back over to the door, Doc checked the peephole. He didn't recognize the face on the other side though even with tired eyes, he could see similarities in that face that reminded him an awful lot of Wynonna. Even himself. Oh shit. Realization dawned on Doc. It must be another daughter between Wynonna and himself. He quickly clicked off the lock and opened the door.
"Well, you certainly look like somethin' the cat dragged in," the teenager greeted and then promptly stepped inside Doc's apartment. "You got any coffee? Mom isn't back from the club yet." Well, she certainly had Wynonna's attitude. Doc hid the small smile on his lips. He wondered what her name was. Making his way into the kitchen, Doc put some coffee on. "I did just pull an all nighter at the station, darlin'. And, no offense, but I'm afraid we haven't been introduced yet in this world. I don' even know your name."
The young woman looked confused. "What do you mean you don't know my name, daddy? I'm Alice. How could you forget? I was named after grandma after." Doc almost dropped the mug he'd been holding. Alice. This was Alice? How the hell had she gotten so old so fast? What the hell? "How did you-" Doc broke off as Alice started laughing. "Dad, it's this place. Does it really require an explanation?" She was right; Madison Valley did whatever the fuck it wanted. "I suppose you're right just-" He broke off and reached out to touch her face. "You're beautiful. Like your momma. I'm going to text her and let her know you are with me so she heads here first." Because Wynonna needed to see this sooner rather than later.
Doc quickly sent off a text and busied himself pouring coffee for the two of them. Taking the time to try and digest Alice's age jump.
