Chapter 1
"Helena, what the hell are you doing with our child?" Myka exclaimed pulling the 12 month old off the clattered work table, swinging around to glare daggers into H.G's eyes. H.G laughed at her startled partner and extracted the tesla grenade from her child's arms, bringing a pout to the young ones lips. "Just showing her the tools of the trade darling, better to start early than not at all" H.G chuckled, watching the child change her short attention span to Myka's hair, tucking at her curls.
Myka shifted her feet looking at the baby, "well, if you want our child stunning herself to death be my guest" Myka replied turning around and walked out the door, into the kitchen where her much older child was lip locked with Claudia against the kitchen counter. "Argh, Hazel, get a room" Pete laughed cringing slightly at the glare he received from a very annoyed Claudia before untangling herself from her lovers legs. Pete grinned at Myka who was rolling her eyes at the display, knowing she was thinking the same thing; he turned his gaze back to the couple and wiggled his fingers at them, laughing again at Hazel's fierce blush, before walking out of the room. Claudia kissed Hazel lightly on the side of her cheek before turning and running after Pete yelling something about Cataranga's itching powder.
Myka looked down at her younger daughter and sighed knowing that she would grow up one day to be the blushing woman before her. Hazel pivoted slightly looking at a subtly (not so subtly) sniggering H.G knowing that she was going to get some kind of lecture. Myka looked at her family one by one before huffing in defeat. Hazel knew she was off the hook for her too public display of affection and kissed Myka on the cheek, winking at the half composed H.G over her shoulder, before sprinting after the centre of her world.
H.G gently pulled Myka from behind and settled close, wrapping her arms around the baby and Myka. She bent down and whispered in Myka's ear "I'm sorry my love, I just couldn't wait to teach Hazel what her mother does" H.G confessed nestling her head on Myka's shoulder, smiling at their creation. "I also wanted to teach her to read, but the books say I can't until she's at least 6 years older" H.G continued bringing out a small shudder of laughter, Myka turned and pressed the baby to H.G's chest, "just because your cute doesn't mean you get off that easy" Myka responded her tone warm and playful.
"Backrubs for a week?" H.G questioned as she pulled the baby up a bit higher, getting it more comfortable as Myka pulled on her coat, "oh, just because you offered" Myka responded before pecking her bright eyed child gently on her crown and caressing her lovers cheek before walking out the door to her car.
Leaving a dopey smiled H.G to walk back into the garage, "you wanna have a go at the tesla gun honey?" H.G whispered, laughing quietly at the face Myka had pulled on discovering there last fun session. She pulled out a baby proof mini tesla Claudia had invented at Hazel's request; seeing how her mother was handling her baby self.
Lighting it up H.G pressed it into the little child's hands before turning her toward the tesla-coil, five metres away. The baby giggled, liking the bright colours before squeezing the trigger, sending a small zap of electricity at the target hitting it not far from the middle, H.G laughed again at the sight of her baby's lit up face and let the child squeeze again, bringing more infectious giggles from her tiny body.
