who. Cuddy and Mia
what. Doing the misery loves company thing
when. Tonight
where. From NY to Mexico

If she really stopped and thought about it, Mia wouldn't really be able to say what it was that had gotten her so upset so quickly. It was a little sadness that had been clinging to her despite her best efforts lately. She'd done her best to rid herself of the negativity, especially with Jon and Rei so happy together, but it hadn't worked. She'd ended up snapping at Jon and regretting it a few minutes later. This was dumb. Mia was being dumb and she knew it.

Emotions all over the place, she went flying. She passed by the spots her father took her when she was upset with things and found that seeing them only made her feel worse. After a little while, she messaged Cuddy because she didn't know where else to turn to. Even then, she was reluctant to bring her problems to her mother. She didn't want to bother anyone with her issues.

But Cuddy was a sympathetic ear. And Mia knew something was up with her mom, there was just a look that Cuddy got when she didn't think anyone was looking. She was sad. Maybe it all had to do with Clark. Mia couldn't tell. But she did want to feel better. And she wanted her mom to feel better, too.

So she suggested they go somewhere weird. Together. They hadn't really done the mom-daughter thing. Now was as good a time as any.

"Hi," Mia said as she zipped into the apartment. She stood before the open door of Cuddy's room. All it took was a glance to tell that Jon wasn't home. For this, Mia was most grateful. She didn't want to fight with him further and she didn't have it in her to apologize just yet.

"I'm sorry... if I'm bothering you." Mia spoke hesitantly, looking down at her feet a lot. "You really want to go out, right? If not, we don't have to go." She really hoped Cuddy wanted to go. Mia needed a parent.

	"Yeah." Mia sighed. Jon was probably dealing with the same things they were feeling, too. This made Mia feel even guiltier for yelling at him. "I have to say sorry to Jon later..." she said this heavily. Blah. Apologizing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She nodded a bit, "Yeah you probably should. I'm sure he doesn't mean to.. rub it in.. I suppose that's what you want to do when you're actually happy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, he means it. He's a jerk. But I know that. I should be more used to that." As much as he enjoyed being annoying, he never really meant to hurt Mia. "And he doesn't mean to do it in a mean way." She sighed. "Want to walk for a while?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Well then I suppose he just has to learn when it's a good time for it, and when it's a really bad time.." she put her arm around Mia and nodded, "Yeah let's walk.." she gave her a small squeeze and then released her. She started to walk down the beach, getting closer to the ocean and slipped off her shoes so she could put her feet in the water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That might be asking for too much," Mia said this with a ghost of a smile on her face. She felt bad for snapping at Jon. She had to fix it.

They walked in relative silence for a while. Mia could hear all sorts of things with her ears, but she tried to ignore them for a little while. She wanted to come up with an easy solution for all of them. So that they could all be happy. Nothing came to her. "Did you always know what you wanted to do?" She asked the question suddenly.

	"You're probably right.. boys.." because really the word 'boys' explained just about everything when it came to.. well, boys. She looked up and nodded a bit, "Yeah. Well I knew I wanted to be a doctor.. running a hospital, not so much. At least not until I got into the administrative side of things. I wanted to help people..and medicine was what I was good at." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	Mia nodded. She was getting ready to graduate and she didn't really know what she wanted to do. "That's good. I want to help people, too. I don't know how yet." She smiled a fake smile, "It feels like I don't know a lot of things." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	"The best thing to do is try out a whole lot of stuff and then figure out which one suits you.. which one you like best.. try a little of everything. You won't really know until you try.. well at least for me.. that's what I did.. I almost became a cop.." she heh'd slightly. "You've got plenty of time to figure things out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	Mia smiled for real this time. "A cop? Really?" That was pretty cool. The longer she knew her mom, the more Mia believed she was one of the toughest women in the universe. "That's cool." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Yup, I enrolled.. lasted a couple of weeks and then realized I didn't really want to get shot..especially when I seem to have a bit of a temper.." she blushed faintly. "Medical school was infinitely better then that. Even if it took forever." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	Mia grinned. "You're a really cool mom." It was nice. Even in the dark, it was quite warmer here than in New York. Mia didn't really want to go home. Or go back to the real world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Well thank you, I strive to be as infinitely cooler then my mother ever was to me. All she wanted me to do was marry a nice Jewish boy and have ten kids.." she sighed a little in amusement, and dug her toes into the sand. "I'm starting to think I should move the hospital to Mexico. Or at least farther south.." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Really?" Mia looked curious suddenly. She didn't know her grandparents, but she wanted to. "Was she nice? Besides wanting you to get married and have kids..." She looked around. "It is really nice here. Maybe we could get a house somewhere during the winter or... I don't know. Maybe we need a vacation. After the hospital's open again, I mean." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	Cuddy nodded, "Yeah she's nice.. was nice.. is nice, I'm not sure. But she was a good mom.. she was just.. very Jewish.." she smiled a little. Her eyebrows lifted, "Oh that sounds like a good idea actually.. I think I have enough money to get us a house down here. Vacation house, that'd be nice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm sad I didn't get to meet her. Or your dad." Clark's side of the family hadn't been around, either. "I'm glad she was good to you, though." "I'd like that. And I think Jon would, too." She looked over to Cuddy. "And we could go anywhere, really." Mexico was nice but the whole world was available to them because of the twin's powers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Well hopefully one day you'll get to meet her. She'd spoil the hell out of you.. seriously, anything you wanted, you'd get with her.. she'd be that happy to have grandchildren.." she smiled some, thinking about it. She smiled a bit more, "That sounds good to me. The three of us can go .. house shopping so to speak.." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	Mia laughed. "That sounds nice. I'd really like that. Maybe she'll show up." Mia could hope for that, at least. It was highly unlikely. But she could dream. Mia nodded. "I like that idea. Jon and I have been all over. We can show you nice parts of the world while we shop for houses." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	"We can hope.." she nodded. "That sounds good, we'll have to search all over then. Just as long as it's some place warm.. and I'd like that, just taking some time off to go on vacation to .. go on vacation.." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	Mia smiled. "Do you not normally take vacation? Dad's like that. We have to drag him away from work and superhero stuff so that he can breathe sometimes." Her parents were stubborn people. That's where she and Jon had got it from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Not normally no. My vacations usually consist of going to conferences on work and staying in a hotel. That's about as much as I get out. I suppose you'll have to drag me away on vacation too," she laughed. "I couldn't even take a break when I was in the hospital." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	"I know. I remember." Mia gave her mom A Look. "You're crazy. You are as bad as dad!" She shook her head. "Jon and I will drag you away from work if we have to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	Lisa laughed again, "Yes I'm sure you both will. I have no doubt about that. I just.. hate leaving things half done. I prefer to get things done and then take a break. the problem is that as soon as I Finish something, something else comes up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	"You can't do everything." Mia was smiling. She remembered giving her dad the same speech. "You're not superwoman. And even if you were..." She grinned. "You need to take time for yourself sometimes. We all do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	She put her hands up, "I know, I know.. I'll try my very hardest to take time for myself and not work so much. I promise." she looked around. "Ready to head back yet? Or do you want to go get that ice cream?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Could we maybe get ice cream at home? And watch movies together? Maybe? Something?" It was still a little weird. Having a mom was new. Mia loved it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
