A/N: Just some fluff and stuff that I randomly wrote. Next chapter will move back to the sort of plot when a new character will be introduced. You guys can give name suggestions for the lady if you want to. I am extremely busy and away on the weekend (without my laptop) and so this will probably be it for a week or so.
RebaForever15 - Thanks for the review! I really wonder where I should take those two? Maybe they'll be MIA for a while.

Chapter Fourteen – Work, Friends And Family
#####
The head of MI6 sat in her office, diverting her eyes from the file she was reading to the window. It was just another regular autumn day, but M just didn't feel like working. She had the task of finding a nanny for Louella, since the girl would have to be introduced to one in just a short two weeks.
M leaned over her desk to pick up the bulldog porcelain figure. It was ugly, but she loved it nevertheless. She was glad to finally have the cast off, but she was still walking with cruthes until her leg would heal completely.
At least I don't have that horrendous itching thing on my foot anymore.
M decided it was time for a coffee break. She had the urge to get out of the office to breathe some fresh air instead of this mechanically conditioned coolness. She took her coat and headed out, leaving a note for Eve.

Louella bobbed along the sidewalk, energized by the brisk, cool November air. She was excited to go to the park and meet Henry again.
James watched her as she bent down to great a snail, talking to it as if it was her friend. The innocence and imagination children have, it's really amazing. Louella saw only good in everything, now that she felt like she had a safe home and a reliable parent again.
Henry was already waiting for her in the park, peering at the end of the playground.
"Ella!" he screamed once he saw her and bolted off towards her direction.
"Henwy!"She ran too and they started a conversation immediately. James shook his head, amused by the two toddlers who acted like two teenage girls that hadn't seen each other for a day.
"Hi, you must be James." A man with dark brown hair and green eyes approached James, "I'm Micheal, Henry's dad. My wife told me he's made a new friend at the playground."
"Nice to meet you." They shook hands and tended to the two children that needed to be lifted into swings and onto slides.
Henry kept telling Louella every single detail about his newborn sister, repeating himself once in a while. She got equally wound up about the baby, even though she hadn't actually seen it yet.

A week later James found himself in Sarah's living room with a cup of tea in his hands. Sarah was walking into the room with a little baby. Louella and Henry waited in anticipation, both on opposite sides of a soft padded area set up on the floor. She put the baby down. The two toddlers watched in awe as the little human being scrunched her face up, twisting her body slightly.
"You have to be very careful." Sarah said in a very quiet voice, "You have to brush her head softly."
She ran her own fingers over the baby's wispy, light brown hair. Louella followed the example, barely touching its head. The baby was warm and and its eyes strayed, struggling to focus on anything. Henry stroked his sister head too and the two of them sat with the baby for a long time.
Sarah had gingerly sat down on the couch, still in slight pain and ready to jump up to tend to her baby at any minute. She nearly jumped to the roof when the doorbell rang unexpectedly. James moved over to the three kids, making sure nothing would happen while Sarah went to see who was at the door.
"Felix!" He heard her calling before her voice lowered to an incoherent level. After a brief conversation, footsteps moved towards the living room.
The two men locked eyes, both frozen upon seeing each other.
"What are you doing here?" James asked the young man, who pushed his glasses up.
"I, um, Sarah is my cousin." Q said awkwardly.
"Do you know each other?" She asked, casting a curious look at both men.
"We work together." They said simultaneously.
"I see. Would you like some tea, Felix?" She turned to Q who took her up on the offer. He came over to James and the children when Sarah disappeared in the kitchen.
"Felix?" James said a bit amused.
Q felt a blush creep up his cheeks and settled on the floor next to Henry. Louella remembered him because of his hair and soon Q was wrapped up in some sort of conversation with Louella and Henry. He barely understood anything, but the toddlers seemed to enjoy themselves.
"There's tea and some pie on table. Help yourself and those two." Sarah pointed to Henry and Louella, "I'm going to go feed Abigail."
Q, James, Louella and Henry all sat at the table. James had learned that things at the office were quiet and that M was bored out of her mind.
"She needs you to mees things up and keep her busy." Q stated.
James laughed. "Half the time she threatens to shoot me for the stunts I pull off. I guess she's just gotten so used to it by now."
"Monneypenny and Tanner are apparently a couple now. At least I think so."
"They are. Eve was terrible at hiding it and well Tanner isn't all that good either. I just hope she took my advice and told M."
"When did you find out?"
"The other week, when I was in. You probably heard of that." James said, recalling all the looks he got when Louella was running around office cubicals.
"Who hasn't?" Q asked with a frown.

A/N 2: So this was just a shortie. I have some ideas for the nanny, but I'm not sure and settled yet. Please review on your way out :)
