25 Unicorn Street- Saturday after stuff

[throughaphase]

Honestly there was probably no one more relieved to have this over than Lexi, who Kitty had been vague around but also she'd had no choice but to bring her around because this has not been an optimal time to find a babysitter in Fandom.

Which meant that Lexi was insisting on camping out outside the bathroom while Clint showered, with Kitty sitting next to her in the hall to say things like, "Honey, you don't need to knock to check on him, he's there."


[For the husband who's back!]

"We tried," Kitty told him. "There never felt like anything we could do from here except look."

"I know you did," Clint said, trying to be reassuring. "And if you'd gone looking too hard, you probably would have ended up in the hole with us. It was just terrible all around and I'm never going to look at a raccoon the same way again."

"Oh, raccoons are ruined. We will avoid them at the zoo and everything," Kitty said, shaking her head. "It was just a terrible situation for too long."

Without letting go of Lexi (because that wasn't going to happen for a while) Clint slid his other arm around Kitty and gave her a kiss. "I know, and I'm sorry. But I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere."

"I'm holding you to that," Kitty told him, sliding her own arm around him. "You're stuck with us."

"Yeah, we'll see how long it takes before you start wishing I disappear again," Clint teased, because even after all this time, it was still weird to have people worry about him when bad things happened.

"I never do," she told him, smiling. "And not just because parenting is hard."

Clint laughed and gave Kitty a kiss. "Yeah, you got a lot of quality Lexi time in over the last two weeks, I'm going to have to catch up."

"Good," Lexi said with a nod.

"I'll be happy not bringing her to the bar again," Kitty admitted.
