Room 320, Saturday Night

[likethegun]

After enough years at the school, Sam knew what usually happened after prom, but he hadn't let himself get his hopes up until he'd gotten pounced on at the bookstore by a familiar little girl. After leaving a message for Peter, Sam got Maria settled in his room with pizza and Scout. Considering the way Scout was demanding to be petted, he wasn't sure which one of them was happier to see her.

Peter had spent his afternoon with Nathan. Nathan was one of the few people who could pull Peter away from Sam. Of course Maria was one of the few people who could pull Peter away from Nathan.

Which was why Peter was now knocking on Sam's door.

Before Sam could get up, Maria shot off of the bed and ran to the door, pulling it open. "Daddy!" she squealed. "You're here!"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter scooped her up into a hug. "Hey! How's my favorite daughter?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"I'm your only daughter!" she said, hugging him tightly. "Until you and Dad give me a sister."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Are we still working on that?" Peter asked her. "Man, we need to get with the program."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Dad says it's good that there's more of you than there are of me," Maria said.

[likethegun]

"I don't know why. I can't imagine that you'd get into any trouble," Sam said with a smirk.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"That's 'cause I'm a perfect angel," she said, with the tone of someone who had practiced saying that many, many times.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"She looks just like Dean when she says that," Peter told Sam. Reminded, he turned back to Maria. "Uncle Nathan says hi, by the way."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Did you tell him I'm here?" Maria asked. "I haven't seen him in forever. Almost a whole week!"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I did," Peter said, since he'd gotten Sam's message while he was with Nathan. "He says you're welcome to come to brunch tomorrow if you're not spending Easter with Sam's side of the family."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Maria turned back to Sam with an excited look, almost bouncing at him. "Can I? Can I please?"

[likethegun]

"I can't imagine we'll be doing anything for Easter," Sam said. "You can go to brunch."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

That got Maria to really bounce and clap her hands. "Thank you," she said, remembering her manners since they were talking about Uncle Nathan.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Did I ever tell you what happened to me when I got bitten by a gremlin?" Peter asked Maria. He was pretty sure he'd never ever do such a thing, but it didn't hurt to check.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Nuh uh," Maria said, shaking her head. "It makes Dad laugh too much so you said you can't tell."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Then you can absolutely have brunch with Uncle Nathan tomorrow," Peter decided.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"I'll be good, I promise," Maria said, convinced that she'd been good the last time she had brunch here too. "We have pizza now! I made Dad get extra cheese."

[likethegun]

"The puppy eyes are lethal in little girl form," Sam said in his defense.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"You are both my heroes," Peter told them. "I think extra cheese means extra kisses too. I'm pretty sure that's in the rule book."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"For me or for Dad?" Maria asked. "If it's Dad, I'm gonna not look until you stop."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Both," Peter said. "It's only fair since you both had a hand in it."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Maria giggled and leaned up on her tiptoes. "That's good too."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter pounced on her with a hug, followed by a loud kiss on her cheek.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Daaaaaaaad!" Maria squealed, giggling more as she hugged him back.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Your favorite dad, right?" Peter asked, totally teasing.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"You're both my favorites," Maria said, since the brains had, in fact, gotten passed down.

[likethegun]

"Oh, I like that answer," Sam said with a grin.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"He's my favorite Sam though," Peter said. "I've got dibs."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"'Cause you looooove him!" Maria said in a sing-song tone. "You make him safe and he makes you safe and then you kiss and it's icky but I guess it's still okay."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"He also makes me happy," Peter whispered into Maria's ear. "You should tell him that."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Maria giggled and ran back over to Sam, crawling onto his lap so she could whisper in his ear. At least, she tried to whisper, even if it came out louder. "Dad says you make him happy. Really really really." It was only a little exaggeration.

[likethegun]

"Well, that's because he makes me happy too," Sam said, smiling at her and at Peter.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Really really really?" Peter asked, because clearly that needed to be established.

[likethegun]

"At least that much, if not more," Sam replied.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I have to kiss him now," Peter told Maria, by way of a warning.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Maria immediately put her hands over her eyes, spreading her fingers just enough to peek to see when they were done.

Peter leaned in to kiss Sam. He took his time about it, rather liking the fact that, unlike last year, he could kiss Sam.
