Oh wasn’t this exciting? Lorelai was thrilled to be here and even more thrilled each time she looked over the group that had arrived from Stemp House and was overwhelmed with just how much she loved each and every single one of them. Starting with her husband and their youngest daughter. Wasn’t it precious? Weren’t they adorable? Wasn’t she broody? So broody. Very broody. Were they too old to try get pregnant again? Was it selfish to have baby number twelve? Did she need an absolute new distraction? Yes. Yes she did.
She spared a glance at the grouping of Saffron, Maverick and Albert and called over to them. ”Go pay your entry fees, you three! Vita’s covered! Now or go home!” Because she may have been their mother, but she was no longer going to pay their way through life. Time to pay for yourselves, independent children that kept secrets. Still bitter @ Mave.
There was a wiggling child on his shoulders and Maverick Stemp really didn’t need occupied shoulders when he had a girlfriend to hold hands and canoodle at a concert with. Did his sister understand that that was the only reason why he came? He was about to take part in the photographs that were being taken when his mother shouted over and he rolled his eyes, shoving some money from his back pocket at Saffron. ”I’ll keep the kid if you go pay. Might even keep him and his cute ear defenders for the whole time we’re here.” Might. Might. It depended.
With a grin, he dropped a kiss onto Vita’s head and looked toward Albert and the camera. Was Veets realising that one day this might be them and their family? Because he was. And the rest of his summer plans relied on that whole thought. Italy was going to change things. It was. For the better. But for now… they had tonight. And they had a toddler.
HER MOTHER KNEW JIUST HOW TO RUIN A MOMENT, DIDN’T SHE?! Saffron had been sooooooo close to planting a kiss on her boyfriend and then running off to find a table without their son. She rolled her eyes at both her mother and the shoving of money coming from her brother. ”I’ll pay for you and you keep Reubs until we get home.” And maybe she and Albert would accidentally get lost on the way home so Mavey was in charge of the baby for a little bit longer than he expected. With a grin and a kiss on Mave’s cheek, Saffron hurried off to pay for their entry and silently chided herself for not taking a job at Stemp House and getting the free entry.
BUT the price was worth it for a babysitter. She hurried back, planting a kiss on her boyfriend this time and then their son. ”See you later, little man. Be good for Uncle Mavey and Auntie Vita!” And with that, Saffron Stemp had grabbed the hand of her boyfriend and whisked him off to find a table to sit at with an incredible stage view.
DATE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
With her children sorted, and apparently one of them ditching her child onto the other, Lorelai was back to being able to focus on the residents that had joined them. With a coo, she ushered herself beside Jordan and wrapped his newly-graduated body in her arms. ”Sit right by me? I want to talk to you about something important.” And she knew not to squish him for too long or too hard, so she let him go as soon as she’d stopped talking and pointed out a table specifically reserved for Stemp House residents. ”You choose the perfect angle from the stage for us.” Angles were numbers, right?
Over the top of Jordan’s head, she spotted Victor and a female companion and waved largely. ”Victor! Welcome!! And a friend!!!” She hadn’t taken full account of anyone that had travelled via portkey from Stemp House with them, because she was making sure that the residents were together. She excused herself quickly from Jordan with a whispered promise of being just a few minutes and hurried over towards the pair with a grin. ”Hello, heLLO! I’m so glad you both could make it.” She threw her hugging arms around Victor and then around his girlfriend? Friend? Girl? Girlfriend? ”He’s such a good egg, isn’t he? The residents LOVE him. Love him. We love having him at the house when he manages a break in his busy schedule.” And she was excited for their next venture together which they needed to schedule another meeting about in the autumn when things died down for her.
”I’ll have to catch you both later. Sit at our table, though? It’s looking to be a wonderful event.” And it quickly seemed that as soon as she was there and giving them her attention… she was looking elsewhere and calling out individually toward other residents. ”Falcon! Follow Jordan and Adam and get to the table, please! Victor, please excuse me.” She followed in the young residents direction and pointed him in the correct direction with a kiss on top of his head and a smile. ”Ben! Over here!” Ben was one of their quieter residents and Lorelai longed to get to know him better, but for now.. she would settle on pointing him towards somewhere to sit with everyone and to not get lost amongst the crowd.
She was about to dedicate a few more minutes to Ben when she spotted little miss Cherie making a break for it. Hm. ”Cherieeeeeee! Sweetheart, over here! You can sit with Adam and Ocky!!” Yes, yes, she knew the young girl would want to sit with Adam or any of the family. What she didn’t want was to lose the girl to the trees in an environment outside of their home. Lorelai beckoned her over to the table with some wiggly fingers and some bright pink nails as she tucked herself in to sit beside Jordan with a grin.
