Remieverse - Quiet Night

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

Remie hummed a soft, merry Cajun tune as she carefully wiped down every glass, tap, and countertop at the bar, cleaning up while the buisness was quite. As usual a few familes were inside, enjoying a relaxing meal, and in the corner a couple men were anxiously watching the football game on a television, sharing nachos and beer and playfully warning eachother occassionally about getting drunk when the owner's wife was around.

Remie smiled to herself as a hand fell to her budding stomach, the smooth, growing lump warm and seeming to emmit its own energy. She smiled fondly, then sighed happily and sat with a virgin margurita to take the weight off her feet for a moment.

"She just went ta bed, shugah. Ya'll wanna talk ta her?" The background sounds told Remie that the waitress was coming down the stairs from the apartment.

"Oh, non non," she said, surprised. "Listen, me n' Schalk are gon' stay here n' wait for Ettiene t' wake up. You mind closin' up shop a bit early? You can leave any messes done, I'll finish it up in de mornin'."

"Sho can, shugah," said Marie cheerfully, though Remie would know that there wouldn't be any messes left by morning.

She smiled. "Tanks, Maire. You de bes'. I'll see you tomorrow, hopefully."

"Lord willin'." There was a smile in Marie's voice. "Make sho ya git some sleep though, alright?"

Schalk sighed and absently rested his cheek on Remie's hair.

"Will do," she smiled and hung up, then melted into Schalk's arms. "Guess now we jus' wait."

"Alvright," he rumbled softly, not realizing that they should probably be asking at the desk exactly where they should be waiting.

His wife didn't notice this either, until they were almost run over by a crash cart.

"Oh der. You two, please follow me," a hassled looking nurse came up quickly. "The waiting room's over here...."

"Sorry." Schalk twitched his ears in his version of the charming rogue grin and picked Remie up to follow the woman.

"It's quite alright, happens all the time really," she smiled buisily and lead them to the Emergancy and Intensive Care ward waiting room, which had slightly better chairs and more vending machines, as its occupants usually were there for a long time.

"Here you go," she said, then turned and hurried away.

"Hmm, y'know I can still walk," she smiled. "De liddle one ain' dat big yet."

He thanked the nurse, then blinked and looked down at Remie. "Hmmmm?"

"Nut'in," she sighed, smiling and snuggling in.
