Liam walks in through the front door.

There's a small blonde girl sitting on his shoulders.

"Liam!" Dianne comes over with a smile. "Is this who I think it is?"

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

Liam grins at her. "If you think it's my little Megan, then yeah."

The girl peers down at her solemnly.

"Wonderful," Dianne smiles, then looks up at the girl. "Hi. I'm Dianne."

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Megan chirps back. "I Megan."

[drama-coach.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Megan," Dianne says. "It's nice to meet you."

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

Megan nods, and Liam turns to look up at her, prompting, "What do we say to that, Meggie?"

"You too!"

[drama-coach.livejournal.com]

Dianne's smile widens a bit. "Thank you, love. You are just as sweet as your father said."

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

"Yes, she is." He grins and swings Megan easily down from his shoulders to the floor, but keeps hold of her hand.

Dianne, surprisingly, continues to smile. "So what brings you two here?" she asks, directed more to Liam than Megan.

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

"Family stuff", he answers with a smile. "She's sort-of got a cousin now - a good friend of Charlie's just had a baby and he's the only father the kid's got - so Megan has to meet him."

"Oh, how nice," Dianne says. "Is it someone I've met?" she adds, a little doubtfully, because if she'd been talking to someone who'd been pregnant or holding a new baby she probably would have noticed. Still, though. In Milliways, you never know.

"Er, I don't know... Claire? Tiny, blonde, Australian?"

[drama-coach.livejournal.com]

Dianne thinks, then shakes her head. "I'm afraid not. You know, I never met Charlie either, for that matter."

A yellow lab came bounding over, nearly knocking over the little girl in his efforts to lick her face and get her to play.

A voice from across the room yelled "Vincent! Not again!"

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

Liam blinks at the sudden arrival of the dog, and intervenes.

"Hey, boy. Calm down..."

[throwing-knives.livejournal.com]

Walt ran up and grabbed the dog by the collar and pulled him back, although he wasn't really causing any damage--just tickling the girl's face mercilessly.

"Sorry!" he said. "He just wants to play, I think."

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

Liam grins at him as Megan rights herself and toddles towards the dog again. She likes dogs.

"Hey there. It's okay. What's his name?"

[throwing-knives.livejournal.com]

"His name's Vincent. I'm Walt," he said.

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

"Good to meet you, Walt. I'm Liam."

[throwing-knives.livejournal.com]

Walt tilted his head, as if listening to something, then said, "You're Charlie's brother."

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

Liam blinks at that. "Yeah, I am. You know Charlie?"

Megan is sitting happily on the floor, with Vincent licking her face.

[throwing-knives.livejournal.com]

"I'm from the island, like Charlie. Me and my dad. I know Claire too, and Sawyer," Walt said. "And Locke and Boone, but they don't come here. Yet."

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

Liam winces.

"You were in the crash too?"

[throwing-knives.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. It was pretty scary," Walt admitted. "And then a lot bad stuff happened, with Claire. And then Charlie came back with his neck all messed up--I heard Ethan almost killed him. That was scary too."

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

Liam nods.

"Yeah, it was. But he's okay now, you know that, yeah?"
