Grant my Last Request
Cerdian arrives at the safehouse and speaks to J'anna for a bit as they wait for Lian to arrive. He's nervous about seeing his best friend again after all this time, especially now that he knows his days in this world are coming to an end. He still needs to talk to J'anna, too, but he told her to go back to Tim for whatever time they had before things got too crazy.

Everyone deserved to spend their last moments with the person they loved most in all the world.

When Mia and Lian arrive, Cerdian is dozing lightly on J'anna's couch. He awakens immediately and smiles at both women, but his eyes immediately go to Lian.

"Hi." he says, smiling at her. "Long time no see."

	"I'm tough," Lian said, "I can survive questions asked out of the blue." She rolled her eyes. "I'm fine," she said. "Just starving." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Note to self: Just feed the cranky pregnant woman." Cerdian jokes, getting Lian a plate. "I can turn on the TV if there's anything you want to watch." Cerdian says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not cranky," Lian said with a smirk, "Just sensitive." She shook her head. "Not really. I'm not even in the mood for TV." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cerdian begins to eat, enjoying the orange chicken and trying to make small talk with Lian. They continue like this for a while, until they're both full, at which point Cerdian starts to clean up and get the dishes started. "Has Tim called you with any new information?" he asks.

	Lian helped with the clean-up, putting the leftovers into tupperware containers. "No," Lian said, "He hasn't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He'll tell us what's going on soon, then. He sounds like he's got a plan." Cerdian tells her. He reaches over to grab dish, brushing her hand by accident. "Oops. Sorry, Darts." he says with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He better," Lian said, "Otherwise he will have to deal wih the wrath of a cranky pregnant lady." She smirked. "It's okay, Fishsticks. It's not like when we were four and I wouldn't let you near me at all, because I didn't want to catch your cooties." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"My father informed me well of how the wrath of cranky pregnant women works. I will not make that mistake." he says.

"Though you clearly got over that when we were five and you kissed me. Of course, I still thought girls had cooties, so I took it about as well as any boy at that age would." Cerdian says.

He wouldn't even let his mother kiss him for a week after that because he thought he was going to die. Looking back on it, it was silly and funny, and it was around the time that he realized he wasn't afraid to die because of the cooties.

He was afraid to die because it meant he couldn't marry Lian one day.

His smile faltered a little at the idea, but he continues to wash the dishes.

"Dad said that Aunt Dolphin was FRIGHTENING when she was pregnant. I think he's secretly glad that he wasn't around to endure my mother when she was pregnant with me. Less of a chance of getting poisoned that way." She laughed.

"I remember that! You told anyone that would listen that I gave you cooties and you were going to die." She smirked. "Drama llama."

Oh, to be five years old and think that the opposite sex had cooties again.

	"Hey, it's Drama Octopus, to you." Cerdian jests. Life was easier then, for everyone. Now Lian was going to be a mother. Cerdian always thought he'd be around for that, somehow. If not as...at least as uncle. He would have been happy to be an uncle. "Do you remember when I told my mother I was going to marry you?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian laughed. "Yes, I do. She said I wasn't good enough and would nothing but get you into even more trouble than I already do." "Not that you minded getting into trouble. You always went along with my plans, kicking and screaming all the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Someone had to make sure you didn't get eaten or blow yourself up, didn't they?" he laughs. "Of course, you managed to squeak by on good looks and the puppy-dog face. Your dad fell for that so many times it was insane." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later... rightontarget 2010-11-12 01:29 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. And besides, getting into trouble is only fun if you have someone to get into it with," She said with a grin. "So did yours! I don't recall you complaining when you got out of getting grounded." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later... violettidemage 2010-11-12 01:32 am UTC (link)
	"Well, of course you don't. I didn't like being grounded anymore than you did. Neither did J'anna. So, you had some magic, Lianakin Skywalker. The Force was strong with you." Cerdian says. "Hey, do you...want to watch a movie?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later... rightontarget 2010-11-12 01:39 am UTC (link)
	"You can;t complain if you never got grounded," Lian said with a grin. "Sure. Did you have anything in mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Does J'anna own either of those?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later... violettidemage 2010-11-12 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"She does, actually. I don't know that she /likes/ them, but she owns, them." he says. "I missed you while I was away, Lian. I was hoping I'd get to see you before I left and now I did." he says. "I'm glad for that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're probably collecting dust," Lian said. "We should fix this." She raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, before you left?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm going away on a mission for Atlantis as soon as my business here is concluded." Cerdian tells her. "I'm not sure when I'll return." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later... rightontarget 2010-11-12 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"Am I allowed to know a little about this mission? You better. Otherwise, I'll have to hunt you down and kick your ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later... violettidemage 2010-11-12 04:29 am UTC (link)
	"Unfortunately, I can't talk about it, Lian. It's kind of top secret." he says. "Isn't that going to be a little tough when you're all roly-poly? I mean, you /could/ waddle after me, but I don't know how well that will work. And I've never heard of a maternity bow before." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later... rightontarget 2010-11-12 04:32 am UTC (link)
	She scowled at him. "I am not going to waddle, thank you very much. And as for a maternity bow...I will just have to invent one, then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You let me know how that turns out, Darts." Cerdian laughs. "You're going to be a great mom, Lian. I can already tell." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later... rightontarget 2010-11-12 04:49 am UTC (link)
	"I will. Just you wait, Fishstick. I'll be marketing them." Lian laughed. "Thanks Cerdian. I'm scared as hell, but that means a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
