Camp…
They set up camp right in the living room, even made a fort to entertain Lian after Roy had dropped her off yesterday while he chased after Jade. Mia would have taken Lian, but she had a cold, Oliver was not to be trusted with babysitting in Roy's mind, and that left her and Jason with the duty.
Not that she minded as she stood in her doorframe watching as Jason lay on his back with Lian looking up at the ceiling with complete wonder at the glow stars they had spent all morning putting up there.
"And that one doggy! And that's the pussy cat, and that one's Tweety Bird!" Lian giggled.
"Whoa, and there's Wile," Jason pointed at one of the set ups on the ceiling. Raven walked over and lay down by Raven.
"This has been the bestest camp ever!" Lian declared.
"We haven't had s'mores, can't be a real camp out if we haven't had s'mores," Jason declared.
"What's a shmore?" Lian asked.
"Sugary deliciousness wrapped up in chocolate and gramcrackers!" Jason exclaimed. Lian bounced on her boyfriend's chest, Jason groaned like a dying old man and Raven chuckled.
"I Want!" the four year old shouted.
"Really?" Jason asked.
"YES!" she shrieked in excitement and Raven chuckled at the childish glee rolling off Lian.
"Are you really sure?" Jason asked.
"YES!"
"Then you have to survive the tickle monster," Jason said in a low, rumbly voice which had Lian shrieking as Jason attacked her.
"Rae Save Me!" Lian screamed with laughter and Raven gasped as she was tackled by Lian.
"There's no escaping!" Jason declared, both she and Lain shrieked as Raven rolled up and tried to run around the pulled out blankets and pillows, as she leapt over the couch with Lian in her arms. Jason nimbly caught them and Raven found herself laughing as Lian screeched and Jason had her wrapped up.
"Surrender?" he asked when he was laughing.
"What are the terms of surrender?" Raven asked.
"Shmores!" Lian shouted.
"Alright," Jason laughed as Lian tried to tickle him. Raven passed the four year old off to her boyfriend as she started pulling out supplies. Jason was listening with rapt attention as Lian told him a story about her unicorns and Superman action figure. Raven softened as she started the stove and the flame burst to life.
"Alright, time for s'mores," Raven announced as Jason walked over with Lian on his hip and took a marshmallowed poker from her. Raven handed another to Lian before making the crackers and breaking the chocolate for it.
"Kay, you roast it, when it's nice and gold-brown we put it on the crackers and feast," Jason explained.
"Otay!" Lian giggled as she eagerly followed Jason's instruction. Raven hopped onto the counter and joined them, smiling slightly at Jason and Lian's intense focus on marshmallows. Lian screamed when her marshmallow caught fire.
Jason shoved his poker at her, Raven caught it as he grabbed Lian's and blew out the flame.
"It no good," Lian whimpered.
"Uh… no kiddo, not at all, I'll have yours, you have mine," Jason suggested and Raven chuckled.
"Rae, you Jay wife?" Lian asked. Raven froze as Jason put Lian on the counter to make the s'mores.
"No," Raven answered.
"You should be!" Lian giggled.
"Oh, and why should I be Jay's wife?" Raven asked in amusement as she handed Jason a good marshmallow for Lian's s'more before hopping down to make her own.
"Cause I'm gonna steal him!" Lian boasted which had Raven smothering her laughter.
"Are you now?" Raven hummed.
"Yup!" Lian giggled.
"Well then, you should know, Jay snores," Raven teased.
"What!? I do not!" he defended.
"You do to, you're also a bed hog, pillow snatcher, and very active sleeper!" Raven retorted.
"You are a cruel woman telling my flaws!" Jason mocked hurt, and Lian giggled hysterically as her s'more got all over her hands and fingers and face.
"Gotta warn the kid if she's marrying you," Raven shrugged.
"Don't listen to her, Lian, she's just jealous," Jason laughed.
"What is jealous?" the four year old asked solemnly and Jason laughed.
"Worry about it when you're older," he said.
"I like camping here!" Lian decided.
"We like having you," Raven admitted.
"More!" Lian demanded after she finished her s'more.
"First let's clean you up princess," Jason decided. Lian giggled as she was scooped up and carried to the sink, Raven just laid out more crackers and chocolate as she made up three more marshmallows. Jason took two of them and started making the s'mores.
"Kay princess, let's not burn it this time," Jason decided. Lian nodded as she started telling them all about her latest dream. Raven just smiled as they finished their s'mores. Raven went about cleaning up the place as she prepared a sleeping area because Lian wanted to sleep with everyone in the living room.
Jason got Lian for bed and Raven smiled as she was handed Lian as Jason disappeared for a shower.
"So, ready for your bedtime story?" Raven asked as she set Lian up in the nest of pillows, and picked up Narnia.
"Yay!" Lian giggled. Raven made it half way through the chapter before Lian was out like a light and Jason walked out of the shower rubbing his wet hair dry.
"Hey," Raven smiled at him as she was teasing Lian's hair, the toddler curled up in her side.
"Hey," he smiled as he sat with her and kissed her lightly. Raven smiled as he rested next to her. "It's kind of fun having the kid around," Jason mused.
"Yeah, Lian's a sweetheart," Raven said. Jason picked the kid up and put her on his chest as Raven stretched out beside him.
"Roy called, said he'd call in the morning to chat with Lian," Jason yawned.
"Alright," Raven mumbled as she rested on his shoulder. Raven let sleep drift her off and she felt Jason's arm slip around her so his hand rested on his hip and Lian mumbled sleepily. It was a good day today.
That's all for now folks.
Enjoy Calm in the Storm.
