Pairing: Robert/Holly

Rating: PG

Robin entered the massive kitchen to find Robert making a rather large mess. "Oh my." she breathed. "Holly is going to have a fit."

"Why?" he asked as he looked up from the frying pan.

"Because the kitchen is an absolute mess." she replied. "And what are you making? Because if you're making eggs or anything that has eggs in it you can forget it because Holly won't be eating it. They make her nauseous."

Robert flipped the omelette over. "Fine then you can eat this and I'll fix Holly something else. French toast or something."

"French toast has egg in it dad."

"Then what do you suggest?" he asked.

"Pancakes loaded with whipped cream and blackberries." she told him. "On second thought why don't you let me do it, I wouldn't want you to mess it up." she breathed. "Anymore than you already have." she added under her breath.

"What?" he asked, not catching the last part.

"Nothing." she smiled.

"Our conversation from last night is far from over." he informed her. "We're going to finish discussing this later."

"Fine." she reluctantly agreed. "I'll make the breakfast and you can take credit for it."

"Thanks." he said with a smile. "I'm glad we're getting along."

"Yeah." she sighed.

Twenty minutes later Robert tapped softly on Holly's bedroom door before he entered with the breakfast tray in his hand. "Good morning."

Holly placed the book of baby names back on the night stand. "Morning." she smiled. "Breakfast in bed?"

Robert sat the tray down in front of her. "I thought after last night it's the least you deserve."

"Pancakes with brambleberries, my favorite." she told him as she picked up the fork. "Did you make these?"

"Yes."

"Really?" she laughed.

"Well, I helped."

Holly took a bite of the pancakes. "What did you help with?" she asked.

"The whole breakfast."

"Robin made these." she replied. "What did you do? Pour the milk?"

"Yes." he smiled. "And I'm suppose to make sure you drink it all."

Robert picked up the baby name book off the night stand. "Have you chosen any names yet?" he asked as he flipped through the book.

"Not really." she answered as she continued to eat her breakfast. "Did you have anything in mind?"

"Oh, I don't know." he sighed. "What about Kristina?"

"No!" Holly said loudly. "I hate that name."

"All right." Robert said slowly. "What about boy names?"

"I'm kinda partial to Robert Xavier myself."

"And call him Junior?"

"Xavier." she corrected him.

"Well then if we're going to name a boy after me it's only fair that we name a girl after you." he told her. "Holiday Elizabeth."

Holly laughed. "I think not."

"I think it's cute."

"You would." she replied.

"You haven't touched your milk." he pointed out.

"I'm not in a milk mood right now." Holly said. "Have you had breakfast?"

"I had some coffee."

"Here." she said offering her a bite of her pancakes. "You need to eat something."

Robert leaned forward and ate the whipped cream coated pancakes off the fork. "Satisfied?" he asked.

"Yes." Holly laughed. "You have whipped cream on your bottom lip." she told him as brought her hand up with the intentions of wiping it away.

Robert's hand caught hers before it reached his face. Holly leaned forward, her mouth inching closer and closer to his. Her fully lips parted slightly and she pulled his bottom lip between hers, gently sucking the whipped cream off before slowly releasing it. As she went to pull away Robert threaded his hand in her hair, preventing her from moving and covered her mouth with his.

"Dad?" Robin called out as she entered the room. Taken completely by surprise she gasped loudly.

Robert and Holly immediately pulled apart.

"Sorry." Robin apologized.
