Stitch's Muses Still Have Her Number....

...And Are Still Drunk-Dialing It
Stitch was busily typing away, writing the latest story in the Sgt. Pepper series. The side story with Baby!Hannibal was a good gag, even if Hannibal Muse was still so completely horrified over the whole thing. It was at that point that her attention was caught by a very cute, silver-haired baby crawling by.
That wasn't Zachary Nightroad.
Zachary was four and he could walk and he would be trailed by his very silly Crusnik Papa.
Had to be the other new baby in the house.
Stitch: (hollers) Face! Baby!Hannibal's on the loose again!
Face Muse is surprisingly good at keeping up with Baby!Hannibal - maybe because he knows his Colonel pretty well. Also, Baby!Hannibal rather likes his current set of babysitters. He kept pointing up and making flying noises ever since Murdock Muse took him for a ride in the chopper. That pretty much horrified B.A. Muse who thought the kid would be scarred for life but evidently, even as an infant, Baby!Hannibal was pretty much destined to be an Airborne Ranger.
There was just one problem.
Hannibal Muse: Did I hear you call me?
The cute baby crawls past again and spots Hannibal. Gurgling happily, he makes for the Colonel.
Stitch blinks. In Stitch's World, it is a rule of thumb that the same Muses of different ages cannot be seen together at the same time. Mind-bending paradoxes and worlds-ending would ensue.
Unless they were from alternate universes, which is a whole other story.
Bemused, Hannibal picks up the baby. The resemblance is unmistakable. The fact that the baby also had some resemblance to Face could not be missed as well.
Hannibal and Stitch stare at each other. Ever quick on the uptake, Hannibal Muse catches on fast.
Hannibal Muse: (horrified) Stitch, you didn't -
Stitch promptly bangs her head on the keyboard.
Stitch: (moans) Oh. Hell. No.
Hannibal Muse: (growls) I cannot BELIEVE you did this!
Stitch: (is hyperventilating) Dude. OMG. WTF. It's YOUR baby! And Face's baby too!
Hannibal Muse: (indignant) I thought you weren't going to write any MPREG for us?!
Stitch: (wails) I can't! It's an impossibility in your universe!
Hannibal Muse: (exasperated) So why do Face and I end up with a baby?
Stitch: (whimpers) Because there IS such a thing as adoption?
Hannibal Muse: (sighs and looks at the little guy, who happily pats his nose. Predictably, he melts.) We're screwed, aren't we?
Baby: (babbles in baby-talk which Hannibal evidently understands)
Hannibal Muse: (to the Baby) How much trouble am I in, kid?
Baby: (giggles and claps his hands)
Hannibal Muse: That much, huh? Oh, well, there's a plan for everything...
Stitch: (keels over at teh cute)
Okay, seriously, I have no idea if I'm going to write a kid into the current 'verse but it's kind of growing on me. Just a little bit. And probably in the VERY far future. I hope. (gulps) Anyone up for naming a cute little baby boy with silver hair and big blue eyes?
Please?
Anybody?
(The Muses will get to approve the name. They're actually arguing about the whole thing as we speak. Oh dear jeebus....)

AND THEY CAN CALL HIM "ZACK ATTACK"no subject
Date: 2010-08-01 08:48 pm (UTC)Yeah, I thought about Zachary. It's just that I already have a kid character around here with THAT name!
Murdock Muse: It's a nice name though. Zachary Peck-Smith.... sounds about right.
Face Muse: Zachary who?
(Hannibal Muse saunters over and dumps the little guy in Face's arms)
Baby: (gurgles)
Face Muse: Who's this?!
BA Muse: Don't drop him, fool! You gotta hold him properly.
Hannibal Muse: He's been asking for you all day.
Baby: (who shouldn't talk yet but the sounds he's making sound remarkably like:) Da!
Face Muse: Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot!

Date: 2010-08-04 11:22 pm (UTC)Face Muse: HOW THE HELL DID WE END UP UP WITH A BABY?!!!! (still has the kid in his arms)
Hannibal Muse: Look at it this way, at least none of us had to get pregnant to have him.
Face Muse: Okay, last time I looked, we happen to be MALE and we don't have uteruses... uteri.... WHATEVER!
B.A. Muse: (shudders) Hey, don't count on that - she's the crazy fool who wrote them MPREG stories for Harry Potter!
Face Muse: OH. HELL. NO. NONE OF US IS DOING THE MPREG THING, DO YOU HEAR ME?!!!
Baby: (startled) (cries)
Murdock Muse: Now look what you just did! You scared the little guy!
Face Muse: (flustered) Oh. Jesus. (rocks baby in his arms to no avail) Oh. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry.... hey, kiddo, don't cry on me....
Hannibal Muse: (exasperated) Give him here. And stop swearing in front of the baby!
(Face reluctantly and guiltily gives up the kid who promptly hides his face in Hannibal's neck, sniffling)
Face Muse: I'm in serious trouble, aren't I?
Hannibal Muse: (manages a wry grin) Give him a minute, he'll forgive you, eventually.
Murdock Muse: (pats baby's back) Awww... Dad's sorry... yes he is... wanna come play with Uncle Murdock?
Baby: (forlorn) Da..... (clings to Hannibal)
B.A. Muse: Don't worry, kid. Uncle B.A.'ll pound the living daylights outta your Dad.
Face Muse: Hey!
*laughter*
Date: 2010-10-03 01:04 pm (UTC)Oh, and I like the name Alexander, or Augustus, or...something of historical value.
Re: *laughter*
Date: 2010-10-09 08:04 pm (UTC)Face Muse: *rolls eyes* This is only because you've just seen K19.
Me: And you weren't squeeing right along with me? Especially with You-Know-Who in a wifebeater?
Face Muse: *with massive dignity* I. Do. Not. Squee.
(Face Muse suddenly yelps when Hannibal Muse comes up behind him and nips his ear)
Hannibal Muse: So THAT's what happened to my shirts! You put Murdock up to it!
(Face Muse runs liek whoa. Hannibal Muse lopes after him with an evil grin)
(Murdock Muse wanders in holding The Baby)
Murdock Muse: Yeah, little buddy, your Papa and Daddy are awfully nutty sometimes. Not like your Uncle Murdock, oh no....
Baby: *giggles*
B.A. Muse: Now what nonsense you feedin' the kid, fool?
