Just a drabble that I hope you'll like.

"Hunny Bunny," Matthieu called. Where could Hilda be? Matthieu was still trying to figure out how a kid like Renton could score with Eureka, but he couldn't get anything from Hilda. Man this sucks. Renton can get a little, Doggie can get some and Holland scores a lot. This sucks. He sighed.

"Hey Matthieu, Hilda's off shopping with all the other females," Hap said.

"Awww… that'll take hours or even days depending on their moods. And with Talho being pregnant she'll spend more than usual. That'll take months," Matthieu complained.

"Don't feel bad. You're not the one who has to listen to demands of serving a fat pet," Dominic complained. Anemone had him take care of all of Gulliver's needs while she was shopping.

"You don't have it bad. I'm the one who's going to hear the most complaining and feel all of the mood swings," Holland said.

"I dunno what all of you are complaining about," Renton said. He was trying to catch Maeter, Maurice and Linck.

"Eureka has you looking after those three. Talk about a load," Stoner said.

"But I like- ah who am I kidding I barely get to do anything else," Renton said giving in.

"Papa we're hungry," Maurice and Linck complained.

"Yeah," Maeter agreed.

"Um… does anyone know how to cook properly?" Renton asked.

"I thought that you could cook," Stoner said.

"Eureka did most of the cooking. I burn toast. Toast of all things."

"Isn't there pizza or something that you can warm up?" Holland said.

"No pizza, we're all out. Hilda went to buy some." Renton said.

"If their gone for days how do they expect us to live?" Matthieu said complained.

"Holland can't you cook?" Hap said looking at his childhood friend.

"Not gonna happen," Holland said. They all looked at him and got an evil stare in return.

"Please Holland, we'll starve other wise," they all begged.

"Don't mention this to Talho or she'll have me in for it," Holland said giving in to their pitiful looks. He had one well kept secret from Talho that he didn't want her to know.

"Wow! This is great!" all of the males aboard the Gekko exclaimed.

"Holland this is yummy," the three children chorused.

"I think Holland should do the cooking on the Gekko from now on," Renton and Moondoggie said.

"Hey what did I say? None of you are to mention this ever again got it?" Holland said in a menacing voice.

"Mention that you're a great cook?"

"Yeah- huh… Talho what are you doing back here so early?" Holland asked surprised and dying from shock.

"No good things to buy," Anemone answered. Holland was standing mouth open and speechless.

"Um… so did you get everything you needed?" Renton asked to help Holland out.

"Pretty much, the people there aren't really friendly though," Eureka said.

"Papa we're tired," the three children chorused.

"Let's get you three into bed then," Renton said as he and Eureka led the three children out of the lounge.

"C'mon Dominic let's go see TheEND," Anemone said as she turned and walked to the hangars with Dominic following. Hilda and Gidget headed towards the stock room and Moondoggie and Matthieu trailed behind. Talho led a partially shocked Holland to their room.

"Renton's right you should cook from now on," Talho said to him as they entered the room.

"Not gonna happen," Holland said recovering from shock. "How did you know anyway?"

"You used to talk in your sleep. That and when we were in the military I sorta figured that you were the one cooking when Charles fessed up that he wasn't the one that did the cooking between the two of you."

"Damn Charles," Holland said smirking.
