Timmy surprises Cam with Krissy




Cam had worked a semi late shift the night before, and gotten home in the middle of the night much to his dismay. He'd kept Timmy up to date on when he'd be home and had told his fiance to go to sleep and not wait up for him, his client was being a d**k and wanting to go to a party. Which Cam was obliged to go to. So he'd been more than glad when the guy had ended up arrested and thrown in jail for some stupid thing or other that Cam hadn't cared to stop him from doing.

Now...well it was well past day break and he was laying face down on the bed, semi sprawled, sheets tangled around him and looking very much asleep. Still, he slept till maybe eight despite getting in three and stumbled into the bathroom with a yawn to shower more to wake up having showered before bed to clean up. That done shorts were tugged on and he went in search of Timmy, and some food. He was starving!

Timmy had woken up early that morning to make Cam a special breakfast. He had decided on pancakes; and had cut them, carefully into heart shapes. It was their year and four month anniversery, and the skitty never missed a chance to celebrate. While engaged, he had started by celebrating each week they were together.

Finished with the pancakes, he carefully took them out of the pan and placed them on a plate. That plate was just as carefully placed on a tray. Then Timmy got to decorating the pancakes. He had cut strawberries up, and having mixed them in a bowl with a bit of water and some sugar, had created a syrup he felt was worthy of Cam. He spiralled it over the pancakes before topping them with whipped cream. He wandered into the livingroom, looking for Cam. "Cam?" he asked. "Goodmorning! I made you breakfast."

Cam had stepped into the living room about the same time Timmy had popped into the living room and he couldn't help but give a happy though semi sleepy smile at the Skitty standing there. "Good morning Timmy." he pressed a kiss to the other teen's lips. "Mmm breakfast. Goody I'm starving. What's on the menu this morning?"

He followed Timmy to the dining room and sat at the table looking down. "Oooh pancakes. These look wonderful thank you Artemis!" he had eaten the night before at about 6...so he was very hungry!

"Pancakes," Timmy said, offering the tray to him. "Four our sixteenth monthversery. We've been together a year and four months, Cam!" he beamed, placing a kiss on his fiancee's cheek. "So I thought I'd make you something special. After, I have another surprise for you. I think you'll like it." He hoped, anyway. He'd found a cincinno in the backyard, sleeping, and had immediately related to it. The poor thing was so thin, and it had been shivering when he'd picked it up to place it carefully in a basket. He'd wrapped it in a blanket, too, to ensure it wasn't cold.

"It is isn't it?" he grinned at this news as he took a bite of the pancakes, a low note of enjoyment from him. "These are excellent, and the berries seem sweeter than usual." he was appreciative of all the hard work that Timmy put in around their house, and of the meals that were made. "Another surprise for me? Alright I'll eat so you can surprise me then!" he laughed and it didn't take him long to finish his breakfast off glad to have food in him.

"I put a little more sugar in the mix this time," Timmy beamed. "You like it?" he asked, scooting closer to Cam. "Yes, another surprise," he said, grinning. "I'll bring it in after you finish." As promised, the skitty boy left the room once Cam had finished with his breakfast. He carried in a basket, walking slowly to make sure he didn't trip and drop the poor cincinno. "I found it in our backyard," he explained vaguely. He moved the blanket gently from the cincinno so Cam could see. "She needs us, Cam," he said. "I found her, and she was all alone. She looks like she hasn't had a good meal in days..." He looked up at Cam with wide eyes. "Can we keep her? She can be our baby..."

"It's perfect! Just enough sweet to offset the tart of the berries. I really like it like this." Cam pushed his plate forward and waited patiently. Normally he'd have taken his plate to the kitchen but for all he knew thats where the surprise was and he didn't want to wreck it. The basket was eyed curiously and at first he thought Timmy meant he'd found the basket in the backyard.

It was the Cincinno inside that surprised him and he sat up a little straighter as he looked down at the little thing laying in there, looking up at Timmy as he spoke, and a soft smile crossed his lips. "Of course we can keep her love. She obviously needs us and no one should be alone. We did talk about adopting after all. So keeping her is fine." he smiled softly at the little Cincinno. "I wonder if she has a name..."

Timmy beamed, moving to sit next to Cam on the couch. He wrapped an arm around his fiancee, placing the basket down on the coffee table in front of them. "It was like when you found me," he said. "I knew she needed us the moment I saw her." He gave another bright smile. "I think it was fate," he said. As he spoke, the tiny cincinno in the basket began to stir. She slowly sat up and rubbed at her eyes with her paws, staring at Cam, and then Timmy. "W-what?" she began. "Where am I?"

"Well you know they say things happen for a reason." he curled his arm around Timmy gently and gave a smile to him kissing his forehead gently and looking back to the basket about the time the Cincinno inside began stirring and Cam shifted a little. "It's okay you're safe." he gave a soft smile. "I'm Cameron and this is my fiance Timmy. Do you have a name?" he was being soft spoken not wanting to scare her any. "You hungry?"

"Safe?" the cincinno echoed, blinking. "Hi Cameron. Hi Timmy." She shook her head at the teen's question. She didn't have a name. "No," she said. "I've been called 'Pest' though. Is that my name? Or 'Hey you! Stop there!' and 'Thief!'. Are those my name?" The cincinno blinked up at Cam innocently. "I am very hungry," she admitted. "Do you have any food?"

"No, those aren't your name at all. Those aren't very nice things to say at all." he frowned softly and held a hand out to her. "Timmy, want to get her some food?" he glanced to his fiance with a smile. "I'm sure we have something tasty right love?" he looked back to the basket. "We'll help you think of a name. You're also welcome to stay here with us. In fact we'd like it very much if you would."

"Of course," Timmy gave the cincinno a gentle smile before wandering to the kitchen. He still had pancakes left--he'd expected Cam to eat more than he had, he supposed. He piled a plate high with them, pouring on the homemade syrup he'd made, and brought them out into the livingroom. "Here you go," he said with a smile. "Breakfast."

"Hope there's some left, I'm still hungry." he gave a grin to the other. "I was overly hungry so I didn't want to eat too much and make myself sick. But now...I could stand to eat more in a bit. Firs things first..." he took the plate from Timmy and speared a strawberry and held it out. "Here try this. As for a name..." he looked up to Timmy. "How about Charlene? ....hmm..no...Elizabeth?....noooo.....Kristina? hmm..."

Timmy grinned at Cam. "There's always more," he said, playfully tapping his fiancee on the nose. "I know how your appetite is." The cincinno still seemed to be lost in thought as she opened her mouth to receive the strawberry. "I would like to stay here," she said, mouth full. "Kristina is a nice name. I like this name. Can I keep it?"

"Thank you love." he smiled up at Timmy and waited while the strawberry was taken and eaten and he picked another one off and held it out and smiled. "If you like the name Kristina, then it's yours to keep. And you can stay here too. We'll get you set up with your own place to sleep and all. We have plenty of room. Would you like some water?" he reached out with his non sticky hand and brushed a finger over her head gently.

The newly named Kristina ate the second strawberry happily. "Thank you," she said. She hopped out of of the basket and moved onto the couch. She climbed up into Cam's lap. "You are very nice," she said. "Giving me food and a name. You'll give me somewhere to sleep too?" the cincinno's eyes were wide. "Really? And water?"

"Thank you," Kristina said, taking the piece of pancake offered to her. She ate it happily. "No one's ever been so kind to me," she said, looking to the water. She leaned against Cam, and yawned.
Timmy wasn't sure what kind of cue Cam was trying to give him, so instead brought the older teenager a second helping of pancakes from the kitchen. "Here you go," he said.

"Sleepy?" his fingers brushed gently over her hair with a smile, though he chuckled at the pancakes. "Thank you love. Not quite what I was asking for this moment but I won't argue either." he looked back down to Kristina then. "Timmy and I have for awhile talked about adopting a little one of our own...and well here you are...would you like us to be your parents?" well all she could really say was no right?

"What?" Timmy blinked. "Oh, you didn't want the pancakes?" he frowned slightly. He blinked at Cam for a moment longer, and then looked to Kristina, sudden comprehension crossing his features. "Oh," he said. "That's right, Kristina," he said gently. "We've been hoping for someone like you," he said.

When Kristina hesitated, Timmy took a deep breath. He was preparing himself for when she said no. But that moment never came. Instead the cincinno said, "Alright, I'll stay. But only if you make more of these." she pointed to the pancakes with a paw. "I like these."

"Not at the moment, but I'll eat them all the same." let it go to waste? No way! They were too good to let that happen to! He nodded at Timmy's words, agreeing with them completely.

Like Timmy, he was preparing for the no. The answer though made him smile and he gave a laugh of delight. "Excellent!" well it was a good thing really! "Timmy makes great food so you'll get these and a lot more."

Krissy beamed at the promise of food. She curled up on Cam's lap and slowly closed her eyes. "I think I'll like living here then," she yawned. Timmy glanced at Cam before grinning and putting a finger to his lips. He moved to kiss Cam on the cheek. "I love you," he whispered.

Cam realized she'd fallen asleep about the same time Timmy did and gave a soft smile. "I love you too." the words a return whisper. "Here...hand me her blanket...she can sleep here for now..." Cam didn't mind playing pillow for awhile. She obviously needed the sleep.

Special Holiday RP

Timmy had planned all of it, to surprise the children in Dea's household. He remembered last year, when he had been so in love with the idea of Santa bringing presents. He had been so excited! And then he had come! Santa had come! While he didn't expect Santa would come for him, he didn't think he'd been very good this year, that didn't mean he didn't expect the jolly man to come for the children who deserved it. He'd discussed it with Dea, and with her permission, had purchased himself a santa suit. He'd had to attach a pillow to his stomach, but it had worked pretty decently. Once he was sure his beard was on straight, and that he had a present for everyone in the household, he opened the front door. "Hohoho!" He called, looking around the livingroom.

Dea was sitting in her chair, trying to give her legs a rest. She was doing a lot better, just needed the cane as more of a tool in case it was needed. She smiled when she saw Timmy come into the room in a Santa suit and she and Eilam exchanged amused looks.

"Teddy, Fluff...look who it is!"she announced.

'Oh, Santa. I didn't know he would be here. I hope I was good enough,'Teddy thought. He looked at Santa with hope in his eyes.

"Tris...look...Santa! Mama, did you call him?"Fluff asked, looking over to Dea and he saw her nod.

"Oh Santa, it is so good to see you. I do hope you had a safe trip,"Lucy spoke up. She already knew it was Timmy, just like Dea and Eilam did. She enjoyed playing along though, knowing some of their family didn't.

"Santa!" Tristan exclaimed, hurrying to Fluff's side. He was just as excited about Santa visiting as the younger children. It was his first time celebrating Christmas: the wonder and belief in magic was still there. Krissy climbed into Dea's lap, beaming up at Timmy. "Santa's really here!" She cried, excitedly. "He must have gotten my letter!" Timmy chuckled, winking at Eilam, before bending to open his sack. "All of you have been so good!" He said, pulling out a wrapped box. He offered it to Dea. "For you," he said, bending to kiss her cheek. "Merry Christmas, Momma," he whispered. Next, he handed a box to Fluff. "I think you'll like this," he said. He handed one to Tristan, then Eilam. He handed a round wrapped gift to Teddy, and something not quite square to Lucy. "Now open your presents!" He invited with a bright smile.

Dea took the present Timmy offered him, giving him a questioning look. Now she hadn't known he had gotten her something too, this was actually a surprise. She smiled softly as she heard him and she whispered back to him.

"Merry Christmas to you too, my son,"she spoke. Lucy and Eilam both to their own gifts, before looking to the younger kids. Dea held Krissy and patted her head.

"Teddy and Krissy should go first. They are the smallest of us,"Fluff suggested brightly.

'Did you bring something for Timmy? He deserves something too,'Teddy spoke up, hoping Santa could understand what he was saying.

Timmy smiled at Dea, nodding at her. He grinned at Fluff. "I think you're right," he said, "Go ahead, you two." He had purchased Teddy a large ball to play with outside when the weather was better, and a doll for Krissy. He had wanted it to be special for the two of them, they were the youngest in the family. He watched as Krissy tore open her package. "Its the dolly I asked for!" She exclaimed, holding it up. It was a mincinno pokedoll: she'd seen it in the toystore window and had begged Timmy to buy it for her, until he'd insisted she waited to see if Santa brought it for her. She beamed up at her father, "Thank you, Santa!" Timmy blinked at Teddy's question, and then nodded, "I did," he said, "But Timmy's gift isn't something I could fit in my sack. He asked for all of you to have the best Christmas ever."

"Oh Krissy, that doll is cute. I am glad you got what you wanted,"Dea smiled, hugging her gently.

"Oh, that is definitely a big present. I think that was nice of him,"Fluff spoke up with a smile.

Teddy carefully opened his own present and his eyes widened at the ball before him.

'Oh, thank you! This is something I can play with. And I can play with my family too,'Teddy stated in pure excitement.

"What should we name her, Grandma?" Krissy asked, cradling her doll carefully, "She'll be our baby now. You can help me take care of her!" She beamed, watching Teddy open his gift. "Oooh, we can all play with that!" She said, leaning against Dea. "Santa's the best!" Timmy smiled at Fluff and nodded, "its what makes him happiest," he said. "How about you and Lucy open your gifts now?" He'd purchased Lucy a book he knew she'd been wanting, and a stuffed animal for Fluff to add to his collection.

"I don't know, Krissy...what would you like to name her? And I will help care for her all you want,"Dea smiled. She watched Teddy with his ball, carefully batting it back and forth.

'Yes, something fun for us. Santa must know how I like playing with my family. He is very smart,'Teddy agreed.

"Okay, I will. I am sure it will be great,"Fluff answered. He tore into the wrapping and squealed seeing a stuffed tiger.

Lucy gently opened her present and smiled brightly seeing it was a book of fairy tales.

"Thank you, Santa, this was just what I wanted,"she told him.

"I don't know," Krissy mused, "What pretty name should I give her? She deserves a pretty one, Grandma. The prettiest name of all! Santa knows everything, Teddy! He knows if we've been good, and he knows if we're sleeping." Timmy smiled at the reaction to the gifts, and glanced towards Eilam and Tris. "Go ahead," he said. He'd picked out something he hoped Eilam would like, and a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare for Tristan. When Tristan opened the box, he stood and wrapped his arms around Timmy. "Thank you, Santa!"

"A pretty name, hmm? you could name her Charlotte or Cynthia or Angelica or Virginia,"Dea suggested.

'Yes, he really is magical. Though you must get tired. Mama, do we have something for him to eat?'Teddy asked hopefully, Dea nodding.

Eilam took the gift he had been given and began to open it, carefully like Lucy had. Inside was locket which when opened had a picture of the family on one side.

"Thank you, Santa,"he told him.

"Oooh, I like Charlotte! We can call her Lottie! That's a pretty name, huh Grandma? And it starts with the same letter Christmas does!" She beamed, hugging her newly christened doll. "Now its Grandma's turn to open her present!" She exclaimed. Timmy blinked at the offer of something to eat. He hadn't been expecting that. "I suppose I have time for a bite or two," he said.
Dea and #Teddy# (15:38:57): "Yes, that is a very pretty name indeed. I am glad you like the name. Oh my gift?"Dea asked, having almost forgot in the excitement of the kids, that she had one too.

'Good, you have worked hard. I am sure a snack would be good. We want you to have energy,'Teddy smiled.

"Yeah, open your gift! What did Santa bring you, Grandma?" Krissy asked, looking at the box and trying to guess at what it was. Timmy had bought Dea a necklace with the birthstone and name of each of her children engraved onto it. "Oh, of course. But you know, I have millions of other children to visit."

'I know you do. More reason you need to refuel. We have chocolate chip cookies. Mama wanted us to be prepared for your visit,'Teddy answered.

Dea nodded her head as she began to open her own present. When she saw what was inside, her eyes watered in joy.

Timmy nodded, scooping Teddy up into his arms. "Alright, show me those cookies," he said. "Let's share them!" He watched Dea open her gift. He smiled at her. He'd hoped she would like it!

'Thank you,'Dea mouthed to her son, trying not to cry too much.

'Alright, they are that way!'Teddy replied, pointing to the kitchen.

Timmy nodded at Dea's thanks, going into the kitchen as directed by Timmy. He noticed the plate of cookies and smiled. He took one and took a bite. He chewed it thoughtfully, grinning. "Did you help make these, Teddy?" He asked. "Thank you!"

'Yep, though Mama had to help a lot. She said I was a big helper. Eilam said maybe I will be a baker. I would like that,'Teddy admitted.

Timmy smiled, patting Teddy on the head. "Maybe you will be," he said. "I have to go now, Teddy," he added, apologetically, "but thank you for the cookies! I'll share the rest with my elves." He set the togepi down with a smile. "Merry Christmas!"

'Merry Christmas to you too, Santa. Have a safe trip. And please tell everyone thank you up there,'Teddy smiled. He knew Santa was probably very busy
