Lockheed

By Starsinger

This follows Chapter 4 of Damned If I Do, Damned If I Don't. Basically, everyone comes to see the twins. Who do we start out with? Lockheed, of course! Don't own these characters, don't sue me, please.

Lockheed looked up as the door to the room opened, Peter walked in carrying Kitty's sleeping form. Ororo and Hank followed, holding the twins. Ororo hurriedly placed Ilyana in her crib and quickly moved to the bed, pulling back the covers so Peter could lay her down. Kitty snuggled into the covers, she had had a long day. Dr. Daniels had come out to the mansion and pronounced that Kitty and the new arrivals were fine and suggested that they be moved up to her room, where she'd be more comfortable.

The three of them left the room to have a quiet conversation as Lockheed walked over to Kitty and nuzzled her hand. She stirred in her sleep long enough to stroke the little dragon. Satisfied, he flew to the cribs and looked at its contents. Hatchlings! He knew they were coming, although why Kitty didn't just lay eggs was beyond him. He peered down at them, and they appeared to be sleeping, just like their mother. He settled beside them, determined to be on guard.

When Peter returned to the room, all four inhabitants were fast asleep, he smiled at the threesome occupying the crib, "Guard them well, dragon," he whispered before he joined Kitty in bed.

I know it's short, but it is a drabble, and I'm kind of working on another project, that next chapter will be up later this week. Twelve hour work days make it difficult to want to work on much else.
