Who: Jaina Solo and Harmony Johnson.
What: Harmy's babysitting the twins.
When: Monday evening.
Where: Jaina's house.
Warnings: Harmony has a hella potty mouth.

When school had gotten out, Harmony had sat in her office finishing up some paperwork. She'd gotten some headway into her pile when she heard her phone ring. It was Jaina, and Harmony was hardpressed to keep her eyes from sparkling. She hated that she had a bit of a crush on the younger woman, mostly because she was pretty sure that Jaina was straight, and that the friendzone was an inevitable resting place for her. Of course, Harmony was a pessimist when it came to the idea of relationships anyway. But she answered the phone anyway, and when asked to babysit while Jaina went to the grocery, Harmony ran with it.

That was why when Jaina came home with her bags of groceries, Harmony was in a pillow fort with the two little ones, reading them If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.

	"What? No, I couldn't, no, they're yours!" She blinked, eyes going wide. That was way too generous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"No, you should. I'm not using them, and besides, I can just build more. Just.. think of it as a Thank You for all your help with the kids." Jaina brushed a hand through her hair, shrugging. "Or a late Christmas present."

"Honestly, you having one would probably get me out on mine more. It would be nice having someone to ride with. Otherwise they're just taking up space in here."

	"If you promise to come out with me. You have to swear." Harmony crossed her heart with a finger and nodded for Jaina to do the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I promise," Jaina said, crossing her heart with a finger. She grinned, pleased with the outcome. Harmony would give the bike a good home. And she liked the promise, too. It would be good to ride again, and it was always fun spending time with Harmony.

"We can go on Saturday. I'll talk to Ani about watching the kids." Hesitantly, she added, "Maybe we can even make a weekend of it."

	"Good." Harmony liked when Jaina smiled, having noticed that she didn't do it often enough. "Saturday sounds great." Then she tried not to cough a little at the suggestion of a weekend outing. "Yeah, yeah, that's a great idea." Wait. She was pretty sure that Jaina was straight, and the whole weekend thing was confusing her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jaina beamed when Harmony said yes. That sealed it. The fact that she could not stop grinning probably meant she liked Harmony. What exactly was she supposed to say, though? "Good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harmony couldn't help but grin in return as well. "Yeah, good." She chuckled and scratched the back of her neck. "I'm really... thanks, I'm really looking forward to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Me too," she said, feeling a little giddy. Harmony probably.. it seemed like Harmony liked her. Jaina was still nervous.. She hadn't figured everything out. What if it didn't work out? The kids liked her a lot, Jaina didn't want to mess things up.

"I really like..how good you are with the kids." And she sucked at communicating. She just meant..after their conversation about why things didn't work with Galen... This was important to Jaina.

	Harmony smiled and reached out to squeeze Jaina's hand. If she didn't like her, it could be a friendly gesture, which was something Harmony worried about. "I like the kids a lot. They're fun to be around, and ... I don't know, they're sweet. You know I'm always up for babysitting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jaina smiled when Harmony took her hand. For a minute there, she had been so nervous that she almost thought her heart was going to beat out of her chest, so the comforting gesture was appreciated. It seemed to calm her down.

"Chris and Cait really like you," she said, running a hand nervously through her hair. This was the part where she would rather pilot an X-Wing through an asteroid field than speak. "I like you, too."

Just then, Chris came bounding up to them and grabbed onto Jaina. "Mom! Mom! Come look!"

Thank the Force! Jaina thought, chuckling.

	Harmony's jaw had dropped, and she blinked down at Christ, still gaping. But she couldn't stop smiling, and she bit her lower lip to keep from looking too much like a trout. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okay!" Jaina said, scooping up Chris for a further distraction. "Let's go see." She propped the boy against her hip, kissing the side of his head before hurrying him back to the kids area. She had managed to avoid looking at Harmony, nervous about her reaction. She busied herself with cooing over Chris's drawing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled from a distance at Jaina and the kids, liking how good she was with them, and appreciating that the kids would likely turn out well. It'd be hard not to with an awesome mother. Who apparently liked her. Harmony wondered if she meant in a romantic way. She almost blurted out the phrase 'like like' before internally reprimanding herself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	After talking with the kids briefly, Jaina looked back over her shoulder to catch a glimpse of Harmony. She was smiling. Good! Jaina smiled, blushing just a little. Good. She turned back to the kids, showing Cait how to fit two parts together. (Reply to this) (Parent)
