RP: Trick or Treat....
Date: 31 October 1997
Characters: Verity De Luca, Michaela De Luca (Warrington? :P), Caleb Warrington
Location: Caleb's flat
Status: Private
Summary: Verity takes Mickey trick-or-treating. To her daddy's.
Completion: Complete

They'd been everywhere in their building, it seemed, everyone all too happy to give Mickey tons of candy that she was far too young to eat (but hey, more for Mummy). The little girl was adjusting well to her new home and her new bedroom and neighbors, and Verity was thankful for that, and glad that she lived somewhere that she could take Mick trick-or-treating, even if it was mostly a Muggle thing. She had good neighbors.

But they had one last stop to make, Mickey prancing about in her shiny pink princess costume that Verity had found in her old dress-up trunk at her parents'. Knocking, she gave Michaela a stern look.

"Remember what I said."

"Uhuh. Be good girl. An' no more candy."

	"Are you kidding? I think she looks just as much like you as she does me. And I have to admit, I might be biased, but we made one damn good looking child," she informed him seriously, leaning over to kiss his cheek and settling into the curve of his arm. She watched him watching Michaela, and relaxed. Finally. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"We did." Even if it was unintentional. Even if one day soon he'd have to truly acknowledge her and wouldn't that kick over an ant hill. He brushed a kiss onto her temple. "We did indeed." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Curling into his side, she yawned. "Merlin, I'm beat. D'you know how many people there are in my building willing to give out candy to an adorable little trick-or-treating princess? And do you have any idea how much candy she's had? She's going to be up all bloody night. Mummy's not going to get any sleep."

She tucked her legs up beneath her on the couch, letting her eyes flutter shut. Just for a moment. No longer than a minute or so.

	Caleb pulled her closer, smiling to himself as she fell asleep. Michaela and Thief bounced back and forth across the little amount of open space in the flat. This wasn't what he'd intended to be doing at this point in his life, but hell, it didn't look so bad from here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm. Michaela was tired of the silly ferret. She yawned big, turning around to look over at Mummy and pouting when she saw that her Mummy was asleep. Hmph. Tiptoeing carefully over to the couch, she climbed up beside the nice man that was her Daddy and tapped him on the shoulder. "Psssst," she said in a whisper. "Is Mummy sweepin'?"

	His lip twitched. Michaela's whisper wasn't very whispery. "Yes, she is. Let's not wake her, hmm?" He patted the space beside him. "Why don't you sit here by me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okie." He looked snuggly and Michaela liked snuggling with her mummy, so maybe she would like snuggling with her daddy too. Instead of sitting beside him, though, she climbed into his lap, her little arms going around his neck. "You're nice. Mummy says you're my Daddy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. Verity sleeping on his shoulder and Michaela in his lap. He could do this. Without freaking out or fainting. "Thanks," he said softly. "Yeah, I am. Your daddy, that is." With her this close, she did look quite a bit like his twin sisters when they were that age. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Michaela looked at him, tilting her head to the side. "Okie. Good. I like you, Daddy." She nodded very seriously. And then kissed his cheek. "Sweepy now." Cuddling into him more, she rested her little cheek on his chest and closed her eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, one day his heart may unmelt. So much for the stone cold Hit Wizard persona. Carefully, he wrapped his free arm around the tiny girl. There was no way that he was going to get any sleep like this, but he was happy to watch over their slumber. (Reply to this) (Parent)
