RP: Sunday Dinner
Who: Everyone
Where: Mike's house
When: Sunday
Summary: Sunday dinner plus Eric's birthday.

Mike detested these weekly dinners, not because they were all getting together, but because they were on Sundays. It reminded him of his father, who always insisted on a big family dinner on Sundays, and the man was a despicable asshole who Mike did not like being reminded of.

On the bright side, this was also Eric's birthday. So after dinner they had cake, ice cream, and sang Happy Birthday.

April and Savannah

Since discovering her power, April had been training with Savannah a few times a week. Therefore she'd noticed that something had been off for the last three weeks, but when asked Savannah had just told her that she was thinking things over and would tell her when she could. Today though, something must have happened. Savannah was quieter than usual, and it was impossible not to pick up that something was wrong.

Which was the main reason (other than the fact that she liked talking to Savannah in general) that she walked up to her today. "Hi," she said with her usual friendly smile. "Are you OK?" she asked. "You seem a little bit off."

Savannah was staying clear of Marty. She didn't want to talk to him just yet. The whole 'let's be friends' thing was very nice and Christian, but right now she'd rather not talk to him at all. Maybe in the future, and certainly she wouldn't try to have their first conversation in public.

When April came over, she smiled at her. "Hey, there." She nodded. "I'm okay. Marty and I broke up, but-" She shrugged. "You know how it goes, but I'm okay."

"You broke up?" April asked, surprised, but most of all sympathetic. "Are you sure? Do you want to talk? We could go somewhere with less people, the kitchen or some other room or even to our house." Whether she wanted to talk or cry or just wanted company, April would be there for her. "Is there any hope that you'll get back together or is it permanent?" she asked.

Moving she pulled Savannah into a quick hug. Nothing too long or noticeable when they were still around people. "How does it work with living arrangements?" she asked. "Are you staying in the house? Is he? Do you even have the option of not living together?" She couldn't imagine breaking up with someone and being forced to live in the same house with them.

Savannah nodded. "We did, and yeah, it was mostly my doing, so I'd better be sure." She shook her head. "No, here's fine. It's not like things don't spread around quickly enough around here. I'd rather have things out in the open."

She shrugged. "I don't know, April. It's not that we don't love each other, but we want different things. I guess, we'll wait and see."

She hugged her back, smiling. "Oh, yes, I'm still there, and so is he. I doubt that they'd change everyone around to accommodate our break up. I just moved into a different room."

"You broke up? Why?" April asked, confused, though as Savannah explained things became more clear. "He doesn't want the family that you do, is that it or am I completely wrong?" she guessed. Savannah might have said that a family was out of the question here, but April was fairly certain that she hadn't just changed her mind on something she'd believed so strongly in.

"Isn't that going to be hard on the both of you?" April asked with concern. "You know that if you want, you're always welcome over to our place, right? Whenever you need some space."

"Not exactly the family. He doesn't want to get married, and I can't really be with someone without the marriage. Well, not that i can't, but I won't. It feels wrong for me, no mater what everyone else says," she said, trying to smile. "I know most people find it strange but this is who I am."

Savannah shrugged. "We're both adults and that's our team. We need to work together, trust each other. It's much easier to stay there." And there was no way that she would be the reason there were problems with the team. She might have made many mistakes, but they wouldn't be able to accuse her of letting their personal lives influence the work side of things. "I might stop by one of these days, if we ever get some free time," she added, chuckling.

Marriage wasn't something April thought about for herself. After all, she couldn't even get someone to sleep with her, so it wasn't much of an issue. She did however, understand the importance of marriage. Even if she unlike Savannah did not think it wrong to be in a sexual relationship without marriage, she could still understand her point of view. Her parents had married young and stayed together for their entire lives - happily so - and marriage was an institution which April greatly valued.

"I don't find it strange," she said. "You have to do what is right for you, or you won't feel good about yourself. If you don't do that how can any relationship last? I just hope he comes around and sees what he stands to loose."

She nodded as Savannah went on. "You're always welcome, for whatever reason."

Savannah smiled at her. "Thanks. I'm glad someone understands, but it's really all right. He... I don't want him to change for me, if you know what I mean. If he changes, it should be because it's what he wants, and not because he wants me happy, or some other reason. I don't want him to resent me."

She nodded. "Thank you, that's very kind of you." She grinned at April. "What about you? Anything you should be sharing? Mike, perhaps? What about the house? Are you doing better with Peter and Neal? I hope you are."

"Then I hope he realizes that what he wants is you, and being married to you, but I suppose time will see."

April blinked at the question, not knowing quite how to respond at first. "Mike?" she asked, putting off the light blush as being embarrassed by the fact that anyone would think that. She shook her head. "Why would I have anything to share about Mike? I told you, we're just friends, very good friends, but just friends." The words came just a touch too quickly, but really, it was... just so incredible that someone would picture her and Mikey. Even if she had been interested, which she was not, someone like Mikey wouldn't be interested in her. Besides, he kept looking at Savannah's legs when she was around, not that she'd tell Savannah that.

"The house is fine," she said instead, changing the topic. "I know I had a slight overreaction - or a big one - but I'm fine. Neal lent me some of his art-books and Peter is nice, just like you said. It was just a weak moment, please just forget that day? I had no reason to react the way I did."

Savannah shrugged. "They are really different from us. Maybe he will and maybe he won't, but I won't be the one pushing. It's really up to him."

She smiled. "Yes, Mike, because you seem to like him and he is a very nice man, and it's not like in this place we have many options." At this point, she didn't want any options. She had found the man she wanted, and she wasn't going to look for a replacement just so that she could get married. "I'm sure you are really, really good friends, and maybe you can be more. You never know unless you try it, and maybe it won't work, but I still think that it's worth the disappointment. I wouldn't change anything that happened with Marty. I got to know an amazing man."

She chuckled. "It happens to all of us. To me more than others, so I totally understand, and it's fine, really. I just wanted to make sure that you were settling in all right."

April looked down and shook her head. "He is a very nice man," she agreed. "But there is nothing between us. I keep telling you, we're just friends," she insisted, the last words said while looking back up at Savannah. "I know you want people happy, but I'm fine, I promise."

"For the record, I'm glad you wouldn't change things. You shouldn't regret something that made you happy, even if it didn't last."

She smiled. "I'm glad you understand, and yes, I'm settled."

"I did not say that there was anything going one," she said, smiling. "I'm saying that there will never be anything unless you do something about it. Men are so clueless unless it's about sex, and suddenly they know all about it, but if you want something else, maybe just dinner, or a movie, then you might want to say something. Mike is really sweet. You'd have fun, even if there's still nothing between the two of you. You can be friends who do things together, instead of just training."

She reached over and squeezed April's arm. "You should be happy, too, and I don't mean just with a scalpel and a few lessons on biology."

April laughed, and rolled her eyes slightly at her. "We hang out together and I know he can be fun, we lived together remember," she said. "You're seeing things that aren't there, and that won't be there, no matter how sweet Mikey is." And he was sweet. She was still touched by his words the other night. How he'd just let her cry and told her he'd be around. If she would be interested in someone it would be him. He was in many ways perfect, but none of that mattered because men just weren't interested in her, and she was not going to imagine something that wasn't there. It might ruin the friendship and that she was not prepared to think about. Not that she was interested, she just wouldn't allow herself to be.

"Don't worry about me, Savannah," she assured her. "I might miss my scalpel, but I'm adjusting to the idea that I might never be the surgeon I want to be. If it happens it happens, if not I'll make the most of what I have here."
