[the puppy leans into her scratching, whimpers happily]
I like the idea, I dunno about the name "Weir" though. Can you see yourself yelling it out a back door to call him home? Maybe a combination of the two? Ripley Weir? [looks down at the puppy] Whaddya think, pup? [he barks]
Yeah, I guess you're right. I must be bad at naming things. [shakes head] You're sure Ripley's OK as a name? You won't get visions of the alien popping out of John Hurt when you hear it? [the puppy licks her hand]
[blinks] I'm glad you think so on both counts. The puppy, I think he'd just be glad to have a name. [the puppy noses into her hand easily, Chuck smiles] Maybe he does think he's sexy. He likes you!
I was talking about Riley we work with Sweetie. {ruffles the puppy's head and bends down to kiss it with a smile} It's because he knows I'm a good person.
But then you know that too, {leans in and kisses him}
What? Yes they do. Amelia is dating them at the moments.
{but this is more than just a kiss, it's one filled with love. And maybe the feel of the kiss would be something he remembers from her younger self} I talked to the boss and I'm staying, although they're making us move in together.
Chuck, is everything okay? {reaches up to touch his forehead, worried} You're not coming down with something are you? {looks into his eyes} Or is this an excuse for me to feed you ice cream again?
[shakes his head, thoroughly confused]There's no Riley here unless he's on the new staff rotation. And they're not due for another month on the Daedalus...
I--I'm fine. [his brow furrows as he looks at her, passively swatting her hand away] I'd look for any excuse for someone as hot as you to feed me ice cream, [blinks] I'm not sure who you are though you seem to know me. [the puppy barks at him]
[still shaking his head] I know everybody that goes through that gate, and there's nobody named Riley here yet.
[ohhshit. recognizes that he's hurt her and frowns sadly as he looks at her] I'm really sorry, I don't. [his 'sorry' is said genuinely in that cute Canadian way]
[Chuck's deer-in-headlights look? OMG YES THIS IS IT... O.O] Baby? I... I'll take full responsibility for it if I knew what--
[blinkblinkblink] CM... [his jaw drops as he fails to complete the abbreviation]
J--Jen? Oh my god. I'm sorry. [and he really really means it. Jen should be able to recognize that in this past self] [Chuck gets up from his seat, abruptly puts the puppy down on the bench where it begins to whimper not-so-happily] [he approaches her tentatively, swallows nervously, hands out wanting to comfort her] I thought that kiss felt familiar. I dunno if this would make sense to you, Doc, but... it's 2009 for me. I'm guessing you're--Aww shit. [he sighs, frowning] I'm so sorry.
ooc: Duuude, future!Chuck totally deserves a slap for his current behavior...
2009? I-It's 2014. And you... Wondered why you looked so good. {sniffs and reaches out to touch his cheek} Which makes me the Jen from a possible future. And you...
[snorts and has a minor moment of cheeky] What, I end up looking like crap in five years?[a little smile for her] [as she touches his cheek, she might notice it's barely been 8 hours since he's last shaved. He does nothing to stop her this time.] And we have a baby? Oh wow. I must have done something really smart for you to have stuck with me for that long... [unconsciously puts a hand at her waist]
No, you just look younger, and c'mon you didnt' know I was me. {runs her thumb over his stubble and smiles, she always loved his stubble} No, not have...having... {takes his hand and moves it to her stomach} Two months now.
{leans her forehead to his} You stuck around through everything. You'll just have to understand that, even though you're not together, I...she still gets jealous over you being with others. You probably do too.
That's true. [he smiles as she runs her hand over his face] Heh. Two months along? This is so weird. [whispered more to himself] I made... I'm gonna make a baby with you in a possible future. Wow. [he feels a little weird doing it but he looks down at her stomach and feels around a little bit]
Oh yeah. I guess maybe she--you... might. D'you think I should be--agh, no, maybe I shouldn't ask you.
That's just weird. Neat, but weird. Kinda like if you found out there's a reality where you end up with McKay. [makes a face] But that would just be weird.
[ducks his head] Well I guess maybe I should ask you to ... nudge me in the right direction for how to make Jen happy? I'm still worried about her even though she seems OK. [insecure!Chuck is insecure]
{smiles a little} there's more than one acually, and in one of them I died.
{ducks her head and looks him in the eyes} Be there for her as a friend, right now that's what she needs most. Her heart reaches out for people she thinks need her help. She's a doctor, she likes to help people.
[blinks] Well I like to think we're friends. We do a little more... well you probably know, like friends with benefits. Maybe I should back off on the benefits part?
You like it? I do too, but I want to make sure Doctor Keller likes the name as well. She gave me the puppy. [the puppy barks cutely and tries to lick Indigo's face]
Yeah, Jen gave him to me this weekend. [the puppy peers up at Jackie, whimpers and gives the... well what did you expect? Puppy-dog eyes!] I like the name Ripley but I'm gonna ask her what she thinks. [he scratches the puppy behind his ears]

[his confused look? let him show you it...] No, she's dating that Italian guy, I can't ever remember his name... [and he remembers everybody's...]

Ripley is a nice name, suits him. *smiles as he licks her fingers and she scratches his belly as he flips over*
You realize he's probably gonna get bigger later on, right?
