We Have the Coolest Family Ever

We're Victoria, Helen, Will, and Nigel Watson. Children of James Watson and Samantha Carter. There's lot of other cool people in our family too like Auntie Helen, who runs the Sanctuary, and Grandmama, who can't talk about her work cause it's a...

"Right then. Who is going to give me hugs first?"

“Me!” Victoria is the first to reach her father and nearly jumps up to hug him.

Will and Nigel come racing into the room where Helen and George are. Their faces light up and they go to tacklehug Helen and their brother.

Helen and George both let out happy giggles at the attention from the boys. “Hello there,” Helen exclaims, a wide smile on her face. “And how are you today?”

[watsoncarterchildren]

They are both busy hugging George when Helen speaks to them. They both turn to smile at her and for a moment it is a little eerie how similar the three look. “We are good, thank you for asking Auntie Helen.” They say in unison. “Can we play with George?” Nigel asks, giving her his best smile.

Will and Nigel are going to happily cuddle into their grandmother. They seem to be very happy to be spending the whole weekend with her and away from home.

And Debra’s happily cuddling them back. She presses a kiss to each of their foreheads and smiles happily. “And how are my wonderful boys today?”

[watsoncarterchildren]

“Okay,” says Nigel as Will pipes up, “Really really happy to see you grandma.” They don’t seem to want to let go of her any time soon. “Feels better here,” Nigel said quietly before Will shot him a look and they both went quiet.

Victoria, cross-legged on the floor of the office, isn't even going to look up from her files spread in front of her, "can you sit down? You're making me nervous."

“I am nervous,” Helen confesses softly, “very nervous, in fact.”

“You may as well tell me, you’ve already said it.”

“No, it’s…not something I should say to you of all people.”

[watsoncarterchildren]

“I’m not them.”

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“No, it’s alright.”

The twins are carrying baby Jimmy as they cuddle up to Sam on the couch. With one twin on either side of her, Jimmy ends up in her lap and is gurgling up at her. All three of them are going to snuggle into their mother.

Sam can’t help but be shocked by her kids before her heart melts. Lifting Jimmy up to lay on her shoulder, she can’t quite wrap an arm around each boy, but she can press kisses to their hair and whisper her thank yous as she tugs a blanket off the couch and around all of them. “I love you all so much.”

[watsoncarterchildren]

Snuggling into their mother, the twins waited for her to settle herself and both smiled at the blanket. Nigel reached over to stroke Jimmy’s head while Will leaned up to kiss Sam’s cheek. Grinning over at his twin they both looked up at their mother and said in unison, “we love you to, mummy.” They’re both planning on staying as close to Sam as possible for as long as possible.

"What happened to Mum?" Helen crossed her arms and nearly glared at her namesake. "I know you know and I'm not leaving until I get a straight answer."

“We had an argument, Helen. Is that a straight enough answer for you?”

[doctorofasskicking]

“We fought about your brother.”

[watsoncarterchildren]

“Well, feel free to reel in that dissertation. Not like it was extremely difficult figuring that much out, the babies did it quick enough.”

[doctorofasskicking]

"What happened to Mum?" Helen crossed her arms and nearly glared at her namesake. "I know you know and I'm not leaving until I get a straight answer."

“We had an argument, Helen. Is that a straight enough answer for you?”

[watsoncarterchildren]

“No, that’s a cop out because you’re always arguing. What was it about? And don’t say nothing, Mum wouldn’t be this upset over nothing.”

[watsoncarterchildren]

“Uh, yeah. Why don’t they talk about you?”

[paxnitentia]

“Because I made a mistake, one I can never be forgiven for. I…well I suppose I just wanted to meet you before your parents decide I’m too dangerous.”

[watsoncarterchildren]

“What could you‘ve done? You look pretty harmless.”

[paxnitentia]

“No. It’s…complicated, but it’s very nice to meet you.”

[watsoncarterchildren]

“Uh, yeah. Why don’t they talk about you?”

[paxnitentia]

“Well…considering what you just told me, I suppose that would make me your grandmother.”

[watsoncarterchildren]

“Not to be rude, but... Didn’t you die?”

[doctorofasskicking]

The toddler doesn't particularly care her aunty is doing a thing with other people, she's just going to climb onto her lap and curl against her. She lets out little sniffles now and again, but otherwise she's completely quiet.

Helen instantly holds the little girl closer to her. Though she’s still participating in the conversation with her fellow Heads of House, she’s giving most of her attention to her niece. “Hello there my love. Is something the matter?”

[watsoncarterchildren]

She doesn’t say anything, just fists her tiny hands in Helen’s shirt and shakes her head. Her eyes are still just a little too shiny and the sniffles haven’t gone away.

Debbie is just sitting in the hall, tossing a ball against the wall she's facing, obviously deep in thought. She's decided she's done spying on people, finding out what someone actually thinks about you hurts.

Ashley smiles sadly when she sees the girl. “Hey kiddo. How’re you?”

[watsoncarterchildren]

“Do you like me?”

[paxnitentia]

“I…you…I’m sorry, but is James Watson your father?”

[watsoncarterchildren]

“Yeah, who’re you?”

[watsoncarterchildren]

James is just going to stand close by and watch over his girls in case they need him. Whatever it is that they need - he will be there for.

They haven’t moved in a while, staring ahead facing each other, expressions souring with each passing minute. They haven’t done this since they were children, not to mention the last time they weren’t upset at the whole of humanity.

[watsoncarterchildren]

A short shake of the head is all that he’ll get out of either of them, their expressions getting darker at the interruption.

James is a little lost as to what to do. Getting up, he decides to kneel in front of Helen. His hands run up and down her arms as he looks into her eyes.

“Please, let me in. You don’t have to hide what you’re feeling with me. Neither of you have to. You can let go. It will be alright. I promise.”

[watsoncarterchildren]

Helen’s eyes shift up to her father’s when he breaks her line of sight, full of anger. 

“She’s hurting Mum. She’s always hurting Mum. It’s not fair.” Her voice grows steadily thicker until she’s forcing out the words. Behind James, Toria is also wiping tears away, crawling forward to hug her twin tightly as she murmurs, “Mummy would never do that to us.”

[james-side1]

Going over and sitting next to them, James looked from one to the other and pushed his own pain down to focus on them. Holding out his hands, he reached out for a hand from each of them. “Is there anything I can do?”
