Kids (a MIKA fanfic)

meetings

After meeting everyone and having a good civilised chat, the three of us were escorted to the management head quarters. Kirsty had planned out our day there so we just had to turn up. We were a little late seeing as we did have a bit of a hold up but everyone just moved their timetables back a bit to cater for us. They didn't really have a choice seeing as we were the main people that worked for them and we were a face to the brand. Not many mainstream artist were with the company that we were with but we weren't that mainstream!

Eve had never been to HQ since she was a newborn so she was wide eyed and amazed at all around her. It was interesting to see her experience the world and get to know the places and people that helped us to survive. 

Evelyn knew that her dads were singers and she had heard our music but she was still too young to understand. She probably still had years before she would properly understand our work but that was a problem for later.

"Morning guys!" Kirsty chimed as we entered the lobby. "You're a little late don't you think?!" 

"Ha ha" Michael said sarcastically. "It really wasn't funny. We had a two year old with us and we were mobbed. She could've easily been injured."

"Yeah well it probably didn't help that they haven't really seen much of her or any of you for a year or so now. You went of the map for a while and just because you're coming back, doesn't mean that they aren't mad at you. They want to know what you're up to and seeing you out there was the perfect opportunity."Kirsty explained

"I know! Don't you think i figured that out after I totally disappeared a couple of years ago. I had to take a break after the boy who knew too much and people went insane!" Michael told her.

"That was so annoying though. You just disappeared without a trace and no one knew why or if you were ok." I chuckled but as I turned to face him, he looked at me angrily "Look, I was a fan then. It's frustrating to not know anything when you're kinda obsessed with a person. You help so many people get through their day and then you just leave."

"Ok. I'll take your word for it and we can discuss it later." Michael sighed in defeat.

"Right. Anyway, you lot go and sit in meeting room 2 and we'll send everyone in to you." Kirsty waved us in and ran off to find the people we needed.

We set up our things in the room and waited patiently. Well, Michael and I did. Eve began to get bored so she was kicking off in the corner. She was in a state where there was nothing that we could do to help calm her down. She just had to get it out of her system. Luckily, it didn't last too long as when she began to calm, Max walked in and picked her up. 

"What's all this fuss?" He smiled. "Shall we go and find some toys? Then we can not disrupt your dads and their meetings" Max cheered. He happily took her off our hand so that we could actually get some work done. 

"Doesn't he have things to do?" I asked Michael.

"Yeah but he can calm her down and someone else can take over." He nodded.

After a short while, we were joined by Luke. He was going to organise everything alongside Kirsty. He was more large-scale though. He would be booking everything for the tour whereas Kirsty would be sorting more personal things such as things for Evelyn and a tour bus. Basically Luke did things that people would see and Kirsty did things that they wouldn't. 

We discussed all the details of getting our sets moved and the different types of audience and show. It was just us confirming our plans to him as he was still new.

Next Kirsty sat with us to sort out the tour bus, our free time schedule and what Evelyn would do while we were working. 

We then had to interview a few people for Eve's carer person. Everyone was lovely but in the end, we narrowed it down to three. It then came down to who could stay with us the whole tour and who could fully commit to the job because it would be a pretty long term and intense job. 

Michael and I had a couple more things to do while we were there but just as we were about to head off to separate parts of the building to get more done, the door opened. We both looked up to see a couple of familiar faces. We weren't supposed to see them for a long time yet but there they were. 

Michael grinned "Fortuné?! Mum?!"
