chat!fic

the internet is refusing to entertain me this morning. *grumpyface* clearly, the logical response is to post snippets-of-stuff, right? of course right!

Jori, don't read this. IT HAS BABIES IN. (follows on from here. kidfic, genderswap, nonsense.)

Christmas, 2007


[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: TELL ME ABOUT CHRISTMAS 2007 WITH BABY JAMIE.

[livejournal.com profile] etben: waybie's first christmas!

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: well, second.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: but the first one he is big enough to actually, you know, be fun for!

[livejournal.com profile] etben: right
[livejournal.com profile] etben: wait - when is jamie born, again?

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: march 2006

[livejournal.com profile] etben: like, monthwise
[livejournal.com profile] etben: okay

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: so, 8 months for first christmas. 20 months for this one.

[livejournal.com profile] etben: *nods*
[livejournal.com profile] etben: the first christmas is probably really low-key
[livejournal.com profile] etben: ugh
[livejournal.com profile] etben: i have no idea what either of those bands were doing then
[livejournal.com profile] etben: *needs a comprehensive timeline*

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: *snicker
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: this christmas jamie is old enoguh to kind of understand the concept of santa.

[livejournal.com profile] etben: well
[livejournal.com profile] etben: for the first one, they don't do much
[livejournal.com profile] etben: because BLAH BLAH RL
[livejournal.com profile] etben: and also because jamie is basically too small to remember anything, and they are being pragmatic

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: *nods*

[livejournal.com profile] etben: but the SECOND christmas.
[livejournal.com profile] etben: oh man
[livejournal.com profile] etben: they all wind up getting together for that one

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: awww.

[livejournal.com profile] etben: like, ALL OF THEM.

[livejournal.com profile] etben: squashed into mikey and alicia's house
[livejournal.com profile] etben: and, like, actually sleeping in hotels or other people's houses, mostly
[livejournal.com profile] etben: but spending ALL DAY EVERY DAY at the hosue
[livejournal.com profile] etben: with baby jamie running around, crashing into people's knees
[livejournal.com profile] etben: (he gets a LOT of musical toys, unsurprisingly)

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: AWWW.

[livejournal.com profile] etben: and mikey and alicia are kind of /o\, because NOISE HELLO
[livejournal.com profile] etben: but nobody is ACTUALLY sorry, because they are all too busy being the BEST UNCLES EVER OMG

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: <3

[livejournal.com profile] etben: hmmm
[livejournal.com profile] etben: is 20 months too young for talking?

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: I don't think so? *looks it up*

[livejournal.com profile] etben: learning words, says the internet
[livejournal.com profile] etben: but probably not sentences yet

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: *nods*

[livejournal.com profile] etben: and understands things
[livejournal.com profile] etben: god
[livejournal.com profile] etben: where most kids learn animal names? baby jamie is totally learning instrument names

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: awwwww.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: the thing about having that many awesome uncles

[livejournal.com profile] etben: ???

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: is they really don't encourage him to actually speak

[livejournal.com profile] etben: yeah, no

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: because everybody is so proud of KNOWING what he wants

[livejournal.com profile] etben: they're all about KNOWING
[livejournal.com profile] etben: but at the same time? when the boy wants a momma, he wants his MOMMAS.

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: he's like "JJJUH" and Gerard is like "I'm here! You want me to pick you up! Yeah, let's read your favorite book! ALicia, where's his bottle?"

[livejournal.com profile] etben: and mikey and alicia are all vaguely smug about him liking them best (which he very very clearly does)

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: And Mikey and Alicia are like "...We're trying to make him say 'up' first." And they all ignore him.

[livejournal.com profile] etben: ahahahaha

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: by 'him' i mean them.

[livejournal.com profile] etben: *nods*

[livejournal.com profile] etben: and, yeah - lots of singing to baby jamie
[livejournal.com profile] etben: lots of arguments in re: appropriate songs to sing to a baby

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: *giggles*

[livejournal.com profile] etben: and then probably one night jamie throws a tantrum
[livejournal.com profile] etben: like, a real screaming and throwing shit tantrum

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: *nods*

[livejournal.com profile] etben: he pegs gerard with a shovel, right in the middle of the forehead

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: awwww.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: imagine how hard gee has to keep from saying motherfucker!

[livejournal.com profile] etben: *nods*
[livejournal.com profile] etben: and they're all crowding around, wanting to be the one that can fix him
[livejournal.com profile] etben: but he just keeps screaming and screaming and screaming
[livejournal.com profile] etben: and pretty soon it's just SAD

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: awwww.

[livejournal.com profile] etben: like - it's just DISTRESSING, how upset he is
[livejournal.com profile] etben: and a little worrying
[livejournal.com profile] etben: ...probably this is a day when mikey and alicia have gone off to do something fun - go to a movie? - leaving their infant son in the EVER SO CAPABLE HANDS of his father, his father's band, and his mother's band
[livejournal.com profile] etben: and so of COURSE jamie, otherwise a very well-behaved infant, waits approximately twenty minutes before he starts to SCREAM

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: AWWWWWWWW.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: Patrick is like "pete, you can't just give him candy"
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: and Pete is like "shit, this always works with hemmy, though"

[livejournal.com profile] etben: he wants BABY TREATS
[livejournal.com profile] etben: and so probably jamie is just starting to cry himself out when mikey and alicia get home, curled up in this tiny miserable ball on bob's chest
[livejournal.com profile] etben: with all of the rest of them scattered around the living room in various stages of drooled-on/hit-on-the-head/screamed-at/exhausted

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: D:

[livejournal.com profile] etben: and alicia just walks right over and scoops him up and starts cooing to him, and they're all waiting to see him EXPLODE IN A SUPERNOVA OF BABYRAGE
[livejournal.com profile] etben: but he kind of rolls over and grizzles at her a little and snuggles against her chest and falls the fuck asleep
[livejournal.com profile] etben: and somebody - possibly joe - is very very frustrated
[livejournal.com profile] etben: and asks, quite reasonably, "what the hell does she have that we don't?"
[livejournal.com profile] etben: "tits," mikey says, and, well, there's no arguing with that.

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: Awwwwwwww.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: AWESOME.

[livejournal.com profile] etben: and, so, yeah.
[livejournal.com profile] etben: THAT'S CHRISTMAS WITH THE WAYBIE AND HIS FAMILIES.
