Disclaimer: I don't own mutant x but I do own Maddie Mulwray and Jasmine the cat.
Hey guys. Well I told you all that Maddie Mulwray would be back and here she is. By the way I do literally own Jasmine; she's based on my cat who is called Jasmine.

Family Ties
Chapter 1: Tea Party
Maddie Mulwray was nothing short of adorable. She had long blonde ringlets, big soulful brown eyes and the cutest little dimples. She had her mothers stubborn streak and her fathers ability to cause trouble and mischief.
She'd very recently had her 4th birthday and as usual she'd been spoiled rotten. She had gotten so many toys that it had taken them an hour to open all her presents. Her most favourite present of all had been a small fluffy black and white kitten that she'd gotten from her dad. She'd squealed with delight when Brennan had brought the little cat home. She'd been practically inseparable from the kitten, which she had named Jasmine.
Maddie had spent days showing Jasmine where all of the best hiding places were around sanctuary. The 4 year old was always playing hide and seek or jumping out at people and trying to scare them. Everyone had to pretend to be scared even though she was too cute to be scarey.
This morning Maddie was bored so she was looking for her granddad. She found him working in the lab.
"Hi granddad" she said as she walked into the lab. Adam stopped working straight away, talking to his beautiful granddaughter was always more interesting than work.
"Hello princess. What's the matter?" he saw the forlorn look on the child's face
"I'm bored" she said with a pout on her pretty face
"Everyone's busy and nobody wants to play with me.
Adam's heart went out to the little girl. It couldn't be easy for her not having any other kids around to play with.
"Well why don't we play for a little while?" he smiled when he saw the little girls face brighten up a bit.
She held her granddad's hand as they walked up to the rec room where Shalimar had laid out some of Maddie's toys for her. She decided that she wanted to have a tea party. As Adam sat cross-legged on the floor she handed him a tiny red cup which he had to pretend was filled with tea. He then had to pretend to drink the invisible tea. Maddie placed a little cup in front of each of her dolls and teddies which she had arranged in a circle on the floor.
Adam was actually having fun eating pretend cakes and having conversations with teddies. He didn't realise that they'd been playing for 2 hours until the others came in.
"I've been looking for you, miss dimples" that was Shalimar's nickname for her daughter.
"Sorry mummy we were playing" she climbed onto her mothers lap as soon as she sat down. Jesse sat down beside them. He ruffled Maddie's hair which always made her giggle. The only people who weren't sitting down were Brennan and Emma. They were standing in the doorway. Brennan cleared his throat. He was holding his girlfriends hand and they both looked excited and nervous.
"Um guys we've got something to tell you"
He looked at Emma to let her know that it was her turn to talk
"Maddie's not going to be the only little one around here for much longer. I'm pregnant."
