Who: Older Anakin Solo and Baby Rahne
What: Disney movies
Where: X-Factor
Warnings: Excessively adorable Baby Rahne.

One of the first things Anakin noticed was that Rahne was a much less messy eater than a five year old should have been. He could only assume she'd been eating ice cream more or less nonstop for however long Jamie had been there, and Jamie was definitely missed his mouth more than Rahne had.

Evidently, Nemo had been found, and the story was winding down. Rahne's eyes remained fixed to the screen, but Jamie seemed to be dying of some exotic disease and trying to escape from his own skin. After the sheer volume of Disney that Anakin had been subjected to over the years, he wasn't surprised. He sat down on the couch with Rahne. "Hi. Do you mind if I watch some movies with you? Jamie has to go do some work for a little while."

Jamie did his best not to peel out of there, but it was a near thing. "Yeah. I'll be back in a... I'll be back." Jamie walked slowly out of the room, then once he was out of sight tore up the stairs. There was the sound of falling, then a chorus of voices swearing at once, then the strange sound of multiple people becoming one again.

	"Good," she said, glad that she would be able to play more with the dog. She would probably ask about it again. She'd had more than one conversation about different kinds of fish with Jamie during Finding Nemo. Rahne looked up at him, tilting her head to the side. "Are ye sad?" she asked, a worried expression on her face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hm?" Anakin became aware that his sabacc face had slipped. "Oh, no. I was just thinking. That's my thinking face. I'm sitting here with you watching a movie about a puppy, what's there to be sad about?"

The reverend didn't deserve her, but she didn't deserve to have his thoughts dark and haunted when she should just be concerned with being happy. Anakin smiled. "I'm done thinking for now, though."

	Rahne smiled, convinced. Nothing sad was happening, after all. She wrapped her arms around Blue as best she could and leaned against Anakin's side. "I like it here," she said. Ice cream for dinner and stuffed animals and movies. It was really fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm glad. You'll have to tell Jamie when he comes back too." Anakin suspected that Rahne would be asleep before Jamie came back for fear of being roped into another movie. He was probably making time with Mia, doing things that would earn them the label of "Devil's Whore," which was probably the most adorable ignorant comment he had ever heard anyone make.

He put his arm around Rahne and gave her a little hug.

	"Okay," she said, nodding. She was excited for Jamie to come back. He was really funny. Rahne tensed briefly when Anakin went to hug her, but must have decided it was okay because she relaxed against Anakin. "Do ye know any songs, Ani?" she asked, glancing up at him. She looked as if the sugar rush was starting to wear off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Anakin had the kind of mind that clung relentlessly to information introduced to it; he probably knew every song he'd ever heard. However, at the moment, very few of them came to mind. For some reason, one of them was Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold," which probably said something about Anakin that he didn't want to know. "I know a few. I don't think I know any that you know, though."

Occasionally, he would catch Rahne (or, given the nature of time travel, he would eventually catch Rahne singing a Scottish folk song or religious song or something under her breath, but he could never get her to sing out loud. Now would be the time to take advantage, but she was too sweet a little girl to co-opt. "My mother and my..." he hesitated on what, exactly, to call Winter, much less to a five-year-old, before settling on, "aunt, they used to sing me a song when I was even younger than you." Secure in the knowledge that if anyone were around, he would sense them, Anakin softly sang an old Alderaani lullaby.

Little Rahne smiled and listening, looking up at him from where her chin was perched on his arm. She resolved not to fall asleep, and it took every ounce of stubbornness in her to stay awake. She hummed along a little even though she didn't know the song. She tapped a rhythm with her fingers on his hand, not matching the song at all.

When he was finished, she tried to sing the last line after him. "That was pretty," she said.

"Do you know any songs? Maybe you should sing." Anakin could tell he should be ushering her off to sleep, but his use of the Force notwithstanding, he wasn't likely to be able to talk her into doing what he thought she should do. Experience taught him that fighting with Rahne on any topic just made her stubborn, and he assumed that a five-year-old's tenacity would not help this.

"You had a really pretty voice when you were singing with me," he added.

	She giggled. "Um, aye," she said, dragging the word out while she tried to think of a song to sing. Then she started singing 'Jesus Loves Me' in a quiet, but happy voice. She didn't have a trained voice, but she knew all the words and was reasonably in tune. (Reply to this) (Parent)
