[size=1] It had taken a bit of sneaking around to figure out which babysitter Bridgette had used, and finally had tracked down her address book and recent entry, deciding to try this apartment first. He raised his hand delicately, and knocked, calling out, "Sharon? Êtes-vous là ? C'est père de Lucas- Tyler Rubin." ((Are you there? This is Tyler Rubin- Lucas's father- as best translated by babel fish XD)) His voice choked a bit on actually saying he was Lucas's father. [/size] |

[size=1]Sharon opened the door, holding a child's book and a cup of coffee, surprsied to find Lucas' father. Well, looked like Bridgette had finally told the guy. Poor guy. The kid was great and fun to be with.... the mother? Well, she wasn't terrible, but Sharon could definitely say she wasn't at the top of her Christmas list. "Oui? Comment est-ce que je peux vous aider? Vous voulez voir Lucas?" she asked. [[Yes? How can I help you? Do you want to see Lucas?]][/size] |

[size=1]"Sûr" (Sure) Tyler said a bit awkwardly stepping over the threshold and looking around the room to see where Lucas might be. Spotting him playing, he looked at him for a few moments, still lost in the thought that it was his son, and yearning to recognize himself in Lucas, but unable too so far. Looking back at Sharon, with a small smile he asked, "Vous occupez-vous de lui souvent ?" (do you look after him often?) He was tripping over the unused French, and really was intending to ask how often Bridgette went out, but that accomplished the same goal essentially. [/size] |

[size=1]Sharon nodded and kept an eye on Lucas who was playing with some toys just to make sure nothing was going wrong. "Oui, souvent," she replied (yes, often). "Je m'occupe de lui quand Bridgette est au travail et aussi quelque fois quand elle sort pour la nuit." (I take care of him while Bridgette's at work and also sometimes when she goes out for the night.) "Est-ce qu'il y a quelque choise que je peux faire pour vous?" (Is there something I can do for you?) she asked him. She was unsure why he was there, and he seemed a bit preoccupied with something.[/size] |

[size=1]Tyler blinked for a moment, and said slowly as politely as possible, "Ceci pourrait être totalement inadéquat, mais, quand elle sort..." (This might be totally inappropriate, but, when she goes out...) He was unable to finish the sentance as he looked at Lucas playing so happily with the bricks, a determined look on his face. It was easy to see Bridgette in him, and Tyler definately recognized other features as well-but for some reason, couldn't place it. He was wondering if Sharon could fill in that blank herself. She had to know if Bridgette still was dating- particularly, with in the last week or so. [/size] |

[size=1]Sharon looked up at him, surprised. She certainly wasn't expecting him to want to know about Bridgette's dating life. Although, she wasn't sure anyone would want to know. "Vraiment, je ne sais pas ou elle va ou avec qui, desolee," she admitted (Really, I dont' knw where she goes or with whom, sorry). "Bien...la semaine passee, je sais qu'elle etait avec un homme....parce qu'elle n'est pas retournee jusqu'a le prochain matin," she told him. (Well...last week, I know she was with a man...because she didn't return till the next morning). "Et elle ne m'a pas appelle...c'etait tres incommode," she muttered, more complaining to herself than giving Tyler information. (nd she didn't call...it was very inconvenient).[/size] |

[size=1]Last...week?! Was she kidding? Rolling his eyes, however, he realized this actually solved one of his issues. Looking down at Lucas again, he said quickly, gaining speed, "Comment est-ce que ceci fonctionne habituellement ? Est-ce que je peux prendre Lucas à la place ?" (( How does this usually work? May I pick Lucas up instead? ))[/size] |

[size=1]Sharon paused for a moment, thinking about it. Well, she really wasn't all that happy with Bridgette right then... ...and Tyler was Lucas' father... "Oui, vous pouvez," she said. "Devrais je dire a Bridgette que vous l'avez pour la nuit?" she asked. (Yes, you can. Should I tell Bridgette that you have him for the night?)[/size] |

[size=1] "Bien, si elle demande." (Well, if she asks.) Tyler couldn't resist the thought that she would freak out for a moment, and knelt besides Lucas, saying slowly, "Voulez-vous venir avec le papa ? Rappelez-vous Tante Lynx ?" (Do you want to come with Daddy? Remember Aunt Lynx?) For some reason, the words seemed sort of natural. [/size] |

[size=1]Lucas looked up at Tyler and smiled. He recognized that man...that was the man his mum said was his dad. "Oui! Veux aller avec tu et Tante Lynx!" Lucas said happily. (Yes! Want to go with you .... w/ the incorrect grammar of a 4-year-old - should be 'toi' at the end) Sharon smiled at the exchange and said, "Je vais la dire plus tard. Au revoir!" (I'll tell her later. Bye!) It was definitely a plus to get off work early.[/size] |

[size=1]Tyler smiled, knelt and picked up Lucas, and disapparated away with him waving good bye to Sharon, and thanking her for her help. [/size] |
