The Snowball King of South Dakota.

[call_me_snake]

Snake had been on the sly for this and stashed stacks of pre-made snowballs around the yard long before anyone else in the house was awake. Sure others could find them and that only made it all the more fun. Snake came back inside and got a drink while he waited for the rest of his family and any visitors that may have accepted his invitation.

He hadn’t been in a snowball fight since the first morning his squadron spent at the Helsinki base. That was almost twelve years and it seemed like even longer to Plissken. This one was much the same. It started with a challenge of his claims of Snowball King. Snake frowned at the drink. He hadn’t even thrown a snowball since he lost his eye.

Pushing the thoughts away he set the things for cocoa, tea and coffee out on the dining room table. He wasn’t sure how many people would come. It might just be him, his family and the nameless challenger he planned on blasting as soon as she set foot on the property. It didn’t matter to Snake. He was out to have fun with the kids, especially his little girl.

Finishing up in the kitchen he went to the living room to start the fire. The huge living room fireplace was one of the things that made him fall in love with this house. Once it was going he sat back on the couch waiting for his family to come down. He could hear all the feet upstairs and giggles. It was a sound that relaxed his usual tensed demeanor. He glanced out toward the drive. No cars yet. Content, Snake laid back on the couch to soak up the warmth from the fire and the alcohol.


OOC: This can be meta, bendy time or any other form of time frame. If it is taking place before or after something your muse and Snake is/will be involved in please make me aware so the muse reacts accordingly. Have fun! I promise Snake will not start shooting so go get him, now’s your chance. For Snake this is taking place just after the New Year so it is a bit back dated. You can assume all conversations that have been started took place before this event just to make it easier. Oh and despite the title this is taking place at Snake's ranch house outside of New York City.

Liza laughed with Snake, "yeah Bobby's got a horrible time with Telepath's my sister's one also. And she makes Bobby's life just horrible." She rubbed her stomach again watching her husband taking off his coat. She felt a little sick but she would put it up to running around like an child outside. The puppies were at her feet she leaned her other hand down for them to lick. As she scratched their heads.

That girl's three and already stronger then her father. I got a feeling she's going to be a strong one. Snake smiled sitting in one of the chairs, leaving the space beside Liza for her husband. As soon as Snake sat Sarge was up in his lap.

Do you know what you're having?

"A little girl" Liza said with a smile. Rubbing her stomach to stop the aching, "We are going to call her Meggan Ann"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

That's a pretty name. Snake smiled. We've been talking on and off about another one but for right now two plus the one we're watching for a friend's enough.

"Thanks" Liza winced alittle starting to get a little alarmed she had been contracting all day. Which was one of the reasons she had stayed home earlier, "She smiled again "Wow You sound like a great dad"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

The wince didn't go unnoticed. You feeling alright?

Snake smiled. I'm getting that reputation. Life just got a bit off track and starting a little late.

Her hand turned a little white as she gripped her coffee mug. The blanket slipping a little. "Just a little contraction. Been..mm..feeling them..most of the day..braxton hicks...most likely" She paused every once in a while harder to get her words out.

All day? Snake got a little wide-eyed.

[black-cat79.livejournal.com]

"yeah" She said wincing again. "But ...I'm a..." She stopped as took some slow breaths, "few weeks early." She took some more breaths, "I mean...it's not like....right?" She said looking up at the two of them.

If Snake's eye got any wider the lid might tear. Do I need to call an ambulance?

[black-cat79.livejournal.com]

"Oh god...no...I'm a mutant...the baby's been freezing my stomach up the whole pregnacy and turning it pink. Do...you really..." She paused closing her eyes. "think that would be wise?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake took a deep breath getting prepared in case there was more insanity. Probably not. Least you're here and not out on the road.

[black-cat79.livejournal.com]

Liza winced again, "You ...seriously.." Liza cried out, "I...m...not ready" She said holding her stomach. "bobby"

Snake had already put his cup down and sighed. If your girl's coming now there ain't a hell of a lot we can do. You're about to get a crash course in baby delivering, I think.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

How far you got to go? Snake was watching her breathing and counting. I don't think you got too long.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Has her water broke? Snake was staring but had a tension about him. He was ready to spring into action if he had to.

If not we might be able to fly her over before it does.

"Um" Liza blushed, "I think that already happened" She softly said a little embrassed.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake smiled though it was a little hesitant.

Good thing I've done this before then. Snake looked over at Bobby.

We're going to have to do this here.

[black-cat79.livejournal.com]

"Here?" Liza looked worried, "is that a good idea?" She asked breathing slowly.

Snake nodded while he pulled the coffee table out of the way.

Lay the blanket out and get her down on the floor with a couple pillows under her head while I get the rest of the stuff.

Snake had become all business but paused. I don't got to worry about wings or anything do I?
