239/240 - Wednesday afternoon

[notcalledlizzie]

Despite having been raised in New England, Elizabeth didn't really like snow. It was fine for skiing, say, but she was quite happy staying inside in the warmth and watching the snow from her window.

One might accuse her of hiding, but she'd prefer to call it strategic concealment.

After cheerleading practice, Janet came back to the room, unlocked the door, and dropped everything in a heap. "Hey," she said to Elizabeth, slightly breathlessly.

Elizabeth looked across from the window and smiled. "Hey," she said.

"How's it going?" asked Janet, smiling happily at Elizabeth as she came over to stand next to her.

"Quietly," said Elizabeth, leaning across to kiss Janet 'hello'.

[janet_fraiser]

"Quietly is good," said Janet, wrapping her arms around Elizabeth. "Happy birthday, Liz."

Elizabeth smiled slightly shyly as she cuddled close to Janet. "Thanks, honey," she murmured.

[janet_fraiser]

"After you managed to remember my birthday, how was I going to forget yours?" asked Janet. "Did you want to go out to dinner tonight?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I hadn't really thought about it," admitted Elizabeth quietly.

[janet_fraiser]

"We can have a quiet night inside if that's what you want," said Janet, leaning forward and kissing Elizabeth's cheek. "I know I didn't want to go out for my birthday either."

"Staying in sounds like a good idea to me," said Elizabeth.

[janet_fraiser]

"Then we'll stay in," said Janet firmly. "We could just slip into bed and never leave it."

Elizabeth smiled. "Mmm, that sounds good," she murmured.

[janet_fraiser]

"It sounds perfect," said Janet. She let go of Elizabeth regretfully and went to rummage in her nightstand. "Open your present, first, okay?" She held out a gold paper-wrapped box.

"I'm telling you, it was one small problem!" yelled Laura, looking over her shoulder as she barged into the room.

Elizabeth giggled quietly.

[janet_fraiser]

"Your 'one small problem' happened to be a blown fuse on an Ancient bomb," snapped Lorne. "You nearly blew up half the city."

"It was uninhabited!" exclaimed Laura.

"Well, it's nice to see that some things never change," remarked Elizabeth dryly.

[janet_fraiser]

"Dr. Weir!" exclaimed Laura, grinning sheepishly. "The Ancients didn't really design their stuff to sit for quite this long, I think."

"Hello, Laura, Lorne," said Elizabeth, smiling at them. "I guess I don't need to ask if you're behaving yourselves then."

[janet_fraiser]

"As much as we ever do," said Laura, giving Elizabeth a thumbs-up. "We'll play nice when we have to."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's good to hear at least," said Elizabeth.

[janet_fraiser]

"You know how we operate, ma'am," said Lorne, grinning at her. "You ever doubt it?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Not at all," said Elizabeth, smirking slightly.

[janet_fraiser]

"Yeah, yeah," said Lorne. "So we can't send you a cake from here, which is a shame, because the botanists think we've got a line on something kinda like chocolate."

"Apparently I have cake, but thank you anyway," said Elizabeth.
