ALRIGHT! I am back! Sort of. I've just been so busy with college I haven't been able to update Transporter but I SWEAR I will get back to it, eventually. I really hate leaving things unfinished. So, in the meantime, have a collection of drabbles that I've written on Tumblr over the past few months with the precious free time I have had. Mind you some of them are short. Like, REALLY short. 200 words worth short.
This one was based off a headcanon of mine on Tumblr. Enjoy.
"There. All ready." Mr. Peabody put his paws on his hips as he leaned back to admire his handiwork. Sherman was dressed in a striped blue onesie, buckled into his carseat. Mr. Peabody adopted Sherman a couple months ago but he still didn't have the heart to leave him with a sitter or a daycare or anything, so he was bringing Sherman with him to work every day a couple floors down.
He picked up the carrier and swung it over one arm and picked up the bag that held Sherman's toys and walked over to the elevator. It opened and he walked inside and hit the button for his main office floor, one floor below the WABAC and his lab.
He waited as the doors opened and he hitched the bag and carrier on his shoulder again. He walked forward into the space and started making his way toward his office, which was situated at the end of the floor.
As he walked past his employee's cubes, he noticed a couple of them poke their heads over and he wondered what in the world they were looking at. It's not like he wasn't a common sight.
He arrived at his office and walked inside. He cleared a section of the floor and laid out a blanket and placed Sherman on it and laid the toys out around him. He went and sat on his desk chair and began work for the day. The day went on and Sherman happily sat on a blanket in Peabody's office, entertaining himself with his toys, just content to be near his father.
"Cynthia!" Mary whispered. Cynthia, Mr. Peabody's secretary looked up at Mary, who had traveled over to her cube.
"What?"
"Aren't you gonna go in there?" She asked.
"Go in where?" Cynthia asked, even though she knew exactly what 'where' Mary was talking about.
"Mr. Peabody's office to see that adorable child of his!" Mary looked like she could explode from excitement.
"As much as I love that child of his, I'm not going to just walk in there and stare at him, that's just embarrassing."
"Well, maybe I could sneak a peek while asking him if he needs anything. I'm gonna try that." She left Cynthia's cube and walked over to Peabody's office. She could see him through the glass doors, sitting at his desk.
Peabody shuffled some papers and put them in a drawer. As he looked up again he noticed one of his employees, Mary, walking towards the door and make to knock on it but he waved to let her know to come in.
"Hello Mary. Is there something I can do for you?" He asked as he folded and placed his paws on the desk.
"Well, um, actually I was wondering if there was anything I could do for you?" She was a little nervous and Peabody noticed that she was rolling the hem of her shirt in her fingers and glancing towards Sherman every few seconds.
"Oh. Well thank you, but I don't think I need anyth-"
"Oh! It looks like your garbage is full! Let me take it out for you." She yelped as she rushed forward and leaned down to take Peabody's half full garbage can.
And before Peabody could thank her she had left his office.
"Well that was odd" he thought.
Mary giggled as she passed Cynthia's desk. "He is so adorable! You really should see him." She squealed in delight as she sauntered over to the garbage bin.
Cynthia sighed as she looked towards Peabody's office.
She stood up and walked over to the door and opened it.
Peabody looked up again. "Ah! Cynthia, just the person I needed to see. I need you to schedule a business lunch with Harrison Wells of S.T.A.R. Labs, he has a proposition for the building of a particle accelerator, and the venture sounds very promising. I've already emailed you the information….Cynthia?"
Cynthia was watching Sherman as he sucked his thumb and wasn't really paying attention.
"Huh? Oh, yes, business lunch…..with…. Harrison Wells, got it." She said as she typed into the secretarial iPad she always carried with her.
"Now, what did you come in my office for?"
"I… just wanted to see if you needed anything?" She smiled weakly.
Peabody smirked. 'Cynthia, you're not fooling anyone. Mary came in here asking that exact same question, but I noticed that she couldn't take her eyes off Sherman, and neither can you."
They both looked at Sherman. He smiled.
"Yes, he is rather adorable isn't he?"
