Academy Mother
Chapter 20
'June'
"We're going to the park!" Jim called through the apartment as she grabbed for her coat, wondering where she'd put her other shoe.
"Mother, they have predicted rain this evening," George informed her and she rolled her eyes before saying aha. She crawled onto all fours, pulling her shoe out from under the couch.
"After four," Jim said while sliding onto her butt so she could slide her shoe on. Then she looked at her old fashioned watch. "And it's…" Then she frowned. "Three thirty. Well, there goes that idea. Damned admirals calling damned meetings." She began muttered as she stood up. "Well, is there anywhere you want to go?" she asked. Jory went to speak and there was a groan from Mandy who came in right then.
"Tell him no. No museums," Mandy whined. "They aren't fun."
"They aren't about fun," Jory argued and Jim knew this was not going to be a good weekend. "They are about expanding your mind and discovering new information. In fact, they are mentally stimulating."
"Boring," Mandy called with a grumble before heading back to her room.
"Mandy, Jory, no arguing," Jim told her children. They glared at her before Jory went to Pavel's empty room and Mandy went to their shared room. Her son would never admit to have been stomping his feet and pouting. He would prefer to be thought more Vulcan than that even though they both knew he wasn't always that Vulcan.
She groaned while looking up. She wondered who she'd pissed off up there to deserve this.
