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.

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	"That sounds good to me.. yeah I'm not sure I want to eat ice cream around here anyways.." she quirked a grin. "I'm ready to head home when you are." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay." Mia took a step closer and then stopped. "Mom. Thank you for coming here with me. I'm really glad you're our mom. And. I'm sorry that you don't feel really happy. If there's anything we can do... I don't know. I just want you to be happy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	"You're very welcome, Mia. I'm glad you asked me to come along. It's okay, I'll get by.. I know.. thank you. It goes both ways though, if you ever need anything, you know you can just ask me.. I'd do anything for you both.." she hugged her daughter again, keeping her arms around her so that they could head back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girlsupes 2008-02-23 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	Mia took off slowly. "I know. Thanks." Once they were high up, "We're going to be okay, right? All of us?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eyesuphere 2008-02-23 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah.. we're going to be just fine.." she smiled reassuringly at her and held on tight as they headed back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They were home in a little while. Mia didn't really rush to get back. Once at their home, she would avoid Jon like the plague and head into the living room for ice cream and movies. She'd end up resting her head on her mom's shoulder before dozing off. It wasn't quite like spending time with her dad, but it was just as good and by the end of the night, Mia felt better than she had in days.
