WHO: Kemps
WHAT: Meeting Peter
WHEN: Monday evening
WHERE: Emma's house
WARNINGS: TBA

Desperate not to kill his little sister for being rude, Thomas chose to leave the house instead of listening to her diatribe about being 'kicked out'. Instead he headed over to his mother's house to meet the reason Little was staying with them. Peter hadn't seen his cousin Peter since he was a teenager and Jamie had been a baby. Peter had been in seminary at the time and they had been so vastly different that it didn't make much sense to hang out. Now though-

Thomas let himself and Jamie into his mother's house and headed towards the voices in the living room. Peter was sitting on the sofa looking slightly overwhelmed while Emma fussed about.

"An artist," Peter smiled at Jamie, "that's wonderful. I'm sure you'll do incredibly well." Beside Peter, Thomas was beaming with pride.

Peter turned to Maddy and all of a sudden, he grinned. "Hi!" he said, waving to Diana. "Oh, I just love babies. Hello, beautiful!"

Joss leaned against Maddy, "you have excellent taste, sir," he informed Peter who laughed.

"As for me, I got married just out of high school but he turned out to be an asshole so Thomas rescued me and I divorced his abusive ass. I've been working on and off and a few years ago I met Aidan. He's an artist too, and wonderful."

"I'm so sorry to hear about your ex," Peter said with feeling. "Nice to meet you, Aidan."

"Thanks," Jamie told him, smiling. "I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do, but at least I know it'll be something I enjoy."

Maddy beamed. "She's the light of my life," she replied, kissing Diana's head. "Well, her and that nerdy guy who keeps showing up, for some reason." She turned and winked at Joss.

Aidan squeezed her hand. "She's amazing," he told Peter. "I'm the lucky one. Nice to meet you too."

"I can see why," Peter said with a charmed smile. "I was always kind of crushed I never got to have kids."

"You still could," Thomas suggested.

"Eh. I'm almost forty and I spent most of my life in an institution. My father was fifty when he had me and it was terrible."

"That's like the opposite of what I did, having Jamie so early. I still think you could do it though. As for me, I raised Jamie and trained as a teacher. I was doing a masters in astronomy but I'm taking a break for a bit to...uh. Well I'm starting a charity for. Just a charity," he said, turning red.

	"I honestly didn't think I'd have one at 26, but I wouldn't trade her for anything," Maddy told him. "And I mean, Tommy's right, but it's really up to whatever you want to do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Peter hadn't ever even had a relationship, despite being head over heels in love with his friend Stuart who had died at the hands of a demon. He was fairly sure he never would have one, so kids were pretty much out of the picture. "You're all very kind," he said anyway.

Emma re-entered, deciding just listening was going to get creepy after a while. "Here we go, snacks for everyone! Eat up, you especially, Thomas."

Thomas made a face, but complied anyway.
