Well here's the next chapter of Unknown Daughter. Fox is about to try to bond with Vixy. He needs to prove to Fara that he deserves to be in her life. How will he do that?

A little heads up, I'm not very good at writing out emotions so I'm sorry if the emotions appear to be a little lacking.

P.S. As I'm writing this chapter I am also working on the next chapter for my Star Ghost II: Avengers story.

Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 3: Bonding

0730, Great Fox II Rec Room

Slippy, Katt, Fay, and Miyu are gossiping when they see Falco in the room. Everyone is shocked to see Falco. His own team usually not awake till at least noon. He looks like a zombie walking into the rec room, like his body in here but his mind isn't.

"Well looks like sleeping beauty is finally up." Fay shouts.

"Sleeping beauty is a huge over statement Fay. It's more like sleeping ugly. Next time he shouldn't stay up so late boning Katt." Miyu adds.

"Hey guys I'm right here." Katt says.

"We know Katt. You need to learn when it's appropriate to mount Falco and when it's not."

"Very funny Miyu, I could say the same about your boyfriend." Katt shouts back.

Falco doesn't' say a word as he sits down next to Katt. By the look in his eyes he hasn't heard a word they said. Katt wakes Falco up with a quick kiss. Falco is immediately up and attentive.

"See guys I know how to get my man to pay attention. Just give him a little kiss, sometimes a little more, and he's practically hypnotized."

"That's all man Katt." Fay replies. "How do you think I got Bill to propose?"

"I figured that you'd need to give Bill more than a kiss." Miyu jokes.

"I did, I had to let Bill get some action in it mall bathroom after he proposed. And just between you and me, it was well worth it. Surprisingly Bill is even better at satisfying my womanly needs when there's a ring on his finger. The sex has been even better than ever. I can't wait to see what it's like when we are married."

"Oh Fay, you are such a tramp."

"Who do you think I learned it from?" Fay replies.

Fay and Miyu laugh so hard their sides hurt. But all the laughing stops when Fox, Fara, and Krystal walk into the room followed by a small vixen.

"So everyone, in case you don't know this is my daughter Vixy." Fox says, getting a lot of glares from Falco and Slippy. Fay, Miyu, and Katt already knew. "She will be accompanying us for this mission."

"Fox, I told you to use protection. This is what happens when you don't." Falco sarcastically shouts.

"SHUT UP FALCO." Fox shouts.

Fara walks up and slaps Falco upside the head. "Do not talk like that in front of my daughter. Next time I will personally ship you to a Titania prison."

Falco shuts up and doesn't say another word. He knows that Fara is telling the truth. It's not the first that she's done it.

Fox snaps his fingers to get everyone's attention. "Ok everyone, obviously since my daughter's here we're going to set some ground rules."

"Seriously Fox, you've never set rules before?" Fay says.

"So we're a day care service now Fox? A mercenary ship is a bad place for a daycare." Falco jokes.

"No Falco, she will just be with us for this mission, which is a simple escort mission. We are not expecting to encounter any resistance. So everything should be fine." Krystal replies.

"Hey everyone, get we please get to the rules?" Fox shouts again. He's starting to get tired of all the distractions. "It's just going to be a few rules. Rule number one, no foul language. Rule number two, no inappropriate gestures. Rule number three, and this applies mainly to Falco and Katt, no making out where Vixy can see you. That means keep it in your pants Falco. We all know that you're a screamer."

"What does that mean daddy?" Vixy asks.

"We'll explain in thirteen years Vixy." Fara says, which seems to satisfy the curious vixen.

"So Fox, what are we supposed to do while your daughter is here?" Falco shouts. "You've basically just banned everything that I love doing."

"That's not my problem Falco. Just be a good boy and you don't have to worry about me loading you into a cannon and blasting you into space."

"That'd be awesome daddy, can we do it?" Vixy shouts.

Everyone, including Falco, looks at Vixy shocked to hear such a response from young girl. The look on Falco's face is priceless. For a moment, Falco actually thinks that Fox is going to agree to it.

Fox kneels down to Vixy's eye level. "As much as I'd love to see Falco fly, without an Arwing, we can't do it. I don't need one of my best pilots dying."

"I understand daddy. But we're still gonna have fun right?"

Fox pats Vixy on the head. "Of course we are. You and I are going to get to know each other very well over the course of this week. What do you say we get started?"

Vixy jumps into Fox's arms and kisses him on the cheek. Falco watches Fox lead Vixy, Fara, and Krystal out of the room. He looks nervously around at the others still in the room. Katt, Slippy, Miyu, and Fay all have smiles on their faces.

"Well this is certainly going to be an interesting trip. How am I supposed to get any action with that kit around?"

"I'll try not to make you scream Falco." Katt lightly grasps Falco's hand. "We can still have fun. Just remember that Vixy will only be here for a week at the most, then we can go back to putting scratch marks on the bedposts."

"Sounds good to me. I think I can make it a week without sex."

"I doubt it Falco." Katt jokes.

"Hmm daddy these pancakes are delicious." Vixy shouts taking her first bite of Fox's famous pancakes.

Fox smiles at Vixy as he sits down with his own plate of his special pancakes. Vixy is slurping Fox's pancakes like she hasn't eaten in a month. At the moment only Fox and Vixy are in the kitchen. Fara and Krystal left Fox and Vixy alone shortly after the meeting to let them get to know each other. From Fox's view, things are already going well.

"Thanks sweetie, when you've been living on your own as long as I have you learn how to cook." Fox replies. "But Vixy, I have to honest with you. I learned this recipe from my mother, who was the best cook I've ever known."

"If this is her recipe than I can't wait to have her cook it for me."

Fox's response is not what Vixy expected. He doesn't say a word just look away. If Vixy wasn't paying attention she wouldn't see the small tear on his cheek. "What is it daddy?"

Fox takes a seat next to Vixy and puts a hand on her shoulder. "Well Vixy, your grandmother died when I was not much older than you."

"What happened to her?" Vixy asks.

"I think that you're a little young to understand. I'll tell you in a few years." Fox reaches into his pocket and pulls out an old picture. "This is a picture of me and my mother when I was about your age."

Vixy jaw drops when Fox shows her the picture. "Wow, she is beautiful. That woman looks a lot like mommy."

Fox laughs, "You're not the first one to think that. She was part fennec fox and very beautiful."

"And who is that man in the picture? The one in the sunglasses."

"That's your grandfather, unfortunately he's gone to. You would've loved them both."

"I bet, you look just like him."

Fox puts the picture back in his wallet. "So Vixy, how much did your mom say about me?"

"She told me that you are a hero. That you saved Lylat numerous times."

"Actually I saved Lylat twice. I've never been one of boost about my success."

"Please daddy, tell me you're story." Vixy asks.

Fox looks at Vixy a little surprised. Sure he gets a lot of people asking about his life story before but this is different, it's his daughter asking him. Fox has to think about how to explain his story to a three year old.

"Well Vixy it's a long story, and not much of it is pretty."

"Please daddy, I want to hear it." Vixy begs and gives Fox the most adorable puppy dog eyes he's ever seen. Fox cannot resist it.

"Ok Vixy, I'll you a short version." Fox caves then Vixy jumps in his lap and stares at him with the biggest attentive and loving look a three year old can give a man. Fox decides to give Vixy a short version of his life story.

"Ok Vixy, I was born on Papetoon to a famous mercenary pilot, the infamous James McCloud. So I had big shoes to fill from birth. I lived in a house of love until I was eight when my mother died, I'll explain to you how later. My dad was unable to keep me under control so he put in the Cornerian Military Academy where I excelled for years. But when I was thirteen my dad was betrayed by one his best friends on a mission and was killed. I tried to stay in the academy but I wanted revenge. So I left the academy and went to study under my father's best friend Peppy. We restarted the mercenary Star Fox team with a few friends from the academy. We were good until we got a contract from the Cornerian Military to battle Andross, the man who killed your grandfather. I met your mother during the brief and shortly after that the Lylat Wars started. My team led the way at nearly every major engagement. Then we launched a near solo attack on Venom where I faced Andross singlehanded and defeated him. With Andross believed to be dead we, and Venom defeated, we were welcomed back as heroes. I let the fame and glory to get my head. That's why your mother and I are not together anymore."

"Mommy said it was because you were a selfish jerk." Vixy interrupts.

"That's another way to say it but yes she's right." Fox replies with a smile. "Unfortunately the fame didn't last. With no one to fight the team was running out of money. Then eight years later I was hired to do the Saurian job. That's where I met Krystal, and everything changed."

"Mommy doesn't like Krystal." Vixy interrupts again. "She says that you only like her because she is beautiful."

"It's more than Vixy. Once you get to know her you'll see that why I like her." Fox pats Vixy on the head. "But let's get back to the story. On Sauria, the planet was undergoing a war with a powerful tribe called the SharpClaw, led by the Tyrant General Scales. He wanted to control all of Sauria and would do, and kill, anyone to achieve it. I barely managed to save Sauria. I was shot, beaten, captured, and nearly killed dozens of times but managed to keep the planet from falling apart, literally. I managed to stop Scales and save Krystal, only to find out that Andross was still alive and manipulating Scales to not only revive himself but to become more powerful. He almost killed me this time. If it wasn't for Falco I wouldn't be here. While the mission didn't get me fame like the Lylat Wars I did receive a lot of money and the love of Krystal. About a year later the Aparoid Invasion started. We were tracking down what remained on Andross's forces when they attacked. The Aparoids whipped out everything in their path. Cornerian couldn't stop and in several instances neither could we. We were barely holding them at bay when we were ordered to go the Aparoid home world and destroy their queen. We went through and almost died. I lost the Great Fox in the battle and almost lost my friend Peppy. But somehow we managed to destroy them as well and prevent the annihilation of our system. Now I'm living more relaxed life, planning on settling down soon."

"Wow daddy, you are a legend." Vixy shouts.

"I know sweetheart." Fox replies and pats Vixy on the head. "But if there is one thing I hate its ego. I try to keep mine in reserve to prevent myself from getting a big head."

"What does that mean daddy?"

Fox has to remember that he's staking to a three year old, something completely different to the stubborn mercenaries he's to. "It means I don't like to brag. It leads nothing but trouble. Do you understand?"

"I guess so daddy."

Fox takes another bite of his pancakes. Neither Vixy nor Fox says anything for a few minutes. They are enjoying their pancakes. Finally Fox breaks the silence.

"So Vixy, enough about me. Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?"

"I don't know where to start daddy?" Vixy replies a little stunned.

"Well how about we start with where do you live?"

"Papetoon with mommy, grandpa and grandma. Mommy calls it Phoenix Manor."

"Oh, so her parents know about you." Fox replies a little surprised. He's very shocked to hear that Fara's father knows about Vixy. Fox has to assume that means her father definitely hates him now, as if he didn't hate him before. "Have you ever been off of Papetoon?"

"Yes, when I met you on Corneria."

Fox smirks to himself, he should've expected the obvious answer from a three year old. "Ok, how about this? What do you like to do?"

"I love to play, read, watch SpongeBob SquarePants, and draw." Vixy shouts.

"Really, you'll have to show me sometime. I used to draw all the time when I was your age."

"Can we draw right now daddy?"

"Finish your pancakes first and then we'll get started."

"Ok daddy." Vixy shouts and gulps down her pancakes so fast that Fox stares at her amazed. He's never seen anyone eat his pancakes so quickly, especially a three year old girl. "So daddy, what are we gonna do today?"

Fox smiles, "Today we're gonna get to know each other."

Vixy snuggles up against her father. "Sounds good to me daddy."

"Wow daddy these things are awesome." Vixy shouts as Fox carries her into the hangar of the Great Fox II on his shoulders.

Fox smiles as Vixy sits on his shoulders staring at the display of firepower before her. While Fox can't see Vixy's face, he is certain that her eyes are bugging out of her head. Fox grins as the little kit's shoe bounces off his chest painlessly.

Vixy looks out over the arsenal of starfighters and tanks. She spots six Arwings all lined up along the scaffolding. Though she is only three years old, Vixy already has an understanding of the Arwings and their capabilities. Three Landmaster tanks are lined up against the wall.

"You like what you see Vixy?" Fox asks.

"Are you kidding daddy, this is the awesomiest thing I've ever seen."

Fox walks up to his Arwing with Vixy still on his shoulders. Vixy is an awe of the starfighter. She reaches up and touches the metal of the Arwing. The cold metal feels good against her hand. Though Fox cannot see her face he is sure that she now wants to fly one.

"So daddy, can we go a ride?" Vixy asks.

Fox smiles at her daughter. That was his first question when James took him to see the Arwings when he was Vixy's age. "I don't see why not."

Fox and climbs into the Arwing and starts the ignition procedure. When everything is running Fox grabs Vixy and sets her in his lap. Vixy is nearly about to bust with excitement. Seeing Vixy smile makes Fox's heart jumps with joy.

"Where do you two think you're going?" A feminine voice shouts from the other side of the hangar.

Fox and Vixy look up and see Fara standing on the scaffolding walking up to the Arwing. She does not look happy. But Fox can see a hint of humor in her eyes. Fara knew at some point Fox would get Vixy in the cockpit.

"Uh, Vixy wanted to go for a ride. I didn't see the harm in that." Fox answers.

"Really, you didn't see the harm in taking our daughter out in a starfighter while out on a mission?" Fara replies with a hint of sarcasm. "Though we are still in a hostile free zone I cannot condone this adventure. You two will have to wait till we get back to Corneria before going on a joyride. You understand me Fox?"

Fox nods, "Sure Fara, I understand."

"Good, now go find something else to do. Vixy loves to draw, give that a try." Fara answers and walks off leaving Fox and Vixy alone.

Fox looks at Vixy and sees that she is very disappointed. She almost looks mad at her mother. Though it hurts Fox to see Vixy pout he has to agree with Fara.

"So daddy, what now?" Vixy asks.

Fox pats Fara on the head. "Well sweetheart why don't you show me your drawing skills.

"Okay daddy." Vixy shouts and jumps out of the Arwing. Fox has to chase after Vixy who is quicker than he predicted.

Krystal walks into the rec room only to stop just as she gets into the doorway. What she sees is nearly makes her heart jump out of her chest. Fox and Vixy are in the rec room alone. Neither of them have noticed her. From what Krystal see Fox and Vixy are drawing together. Krystal walks out of the rec room but stay close to the wall to avoid detection but at the same time watch Fox and Vixy bond.

"Wow Vixy, you're an amazing artist." Fox says looking down at Vixy's drawing. He is actually impressed with Vixy's drawing of an Arwing. It really looks like a professional drew it. If Fox held it up to an Arwing he'd swear that Vixy's drawing was an exact picture of the Arwing II.

"Thank you daddy." Vixy replies.

"You know Vixy you could be a professional artist."

"No way daddy, I'm gonna be a mercenary just like you."

"Are you sure sweetheart? It's a very dangerous life and not for the weak hearted. It took a lot from my life and ruined my relationship with your mother."

"Yes daddy, I want to be famous and to destroy Venom, just like you did." Vixy replies and looks over at Fox's drawing. "What are you drawing daddy? It looks like you, me, mommy, and Krystal."

"Well that's a little tough to explain. You are right, it is the four of us together, as a family."

Vixy takes a closer look at the drawing. In the center is Fox with Vixy on his shoulders. She's cheering for some reason. On Fox's left is Fara and Krystal is on the right. Both are smiling. The only difference is that in the drawing Krystal clearly wearing a wedding ring, and so is Fox.

"Why is Krystal wearing a wedding ring and not mommy?"

Krystal's telepathy picks up on Vixy's question. She knew that at some point Vixy would ask that question, just not this soon. Fox should've known better than to draw that relationship. He should've waited until they were back before starting this conversation.

"Well Vixy, there is no easy way to say this but you're mother and I are not getting back together."

"What, why daddy?"

Fox, puts his hand on Vixy's shoulder. "You're a little young to understand Vixy but your mother and I are not in love. You need love to make a marriage work. Though I love you Vixy, the love that your mother and I had ended it a few years ago. "

"And what about Krystal, she is not my mother?" Vixy asks.

"I know sweetheart. But she wants to be if you give her a chance."

"I might, if she's nice to me."

Fox smile and pats Vixy on the head. "Of course, Krystal is very nice. I promise you that she will treat you like her own daughter if you want to be."

Vixy thinks about it for a minute. In her mind Vixy wants nothing more than for her birth parents to be together as a family. But deep down in her heart Vixy wants to give Krystal a chance. If Fox loves Krystal than maybe she is a good person and will make a good stepmother someday.

"Ok daddy, I'll give Vixy a chance."

"Thank you Vixy." Fox says with a smile. "Now how about we finish your drawing? It's still missing something."

"What is it missing daddy?"

"You're missing the Star Fox symbol on the side."

Fox sits down next to Vixy and she continues to draw. As he's watching her he can't help but be impressed. Vixy is a drawing machine. With Fox's help she is a professional artist. Though Vixy doesn't notice Fox is trying to bond with her through drawing.

Krystal smiles. "Keep it up Fox, you're doing an amazing job. In no time you'll be able to see Vixy any time you want."

"Hey Krystal, can you help me for a minute?" Fox shouts as he walks into the kitchen disturbing Krystal who's trying to make a sandwich.

Krystal reluctantly puts her sandwich down. Sandwiches are Krystal's favorite Lylatian food. She loves them nearly as much as she loves Fox. That's why Krystal hates people bugging her when she's trying to eat.

"This had better be good Fox." Krystal shouts, though already knowing exactly what Fox wants.

"It is, I wouldn't disturb you otherwise. But I think that it's time you and Vixy had a chat."

"Sure, anything for Vixy. I can spare a few minutes."

"Thank you so much Krystal. I owe you one for this." Fox says.

"Heck yeah you do. My sandwich had better still be here when I get back or I'm coming after your hide."

Fox leads Krystal into the rec room where they find Vixy sitting on the couch and watching Spongebob Squarepants. Vixy is so absorbed by the show that she doesn't even notice Fox and Krystal sit down next to her. Krystal walks in front of Vixy to get her attention.

"Hello Vixy, mind if I sit here?"

"I don't mind Krystal."

Krystal sits down next Vixy. "So Vixy, Fox tells me you want to talk."

"I guess so. The only question I want to know is how did you and dad meet?" Vixy asks.

"It's a long story but three years ago I was running around the galaxy looking for someone who did me wrong. I ended up on Sauria where I got into some major trouble that nearly cost me my life. Fortunately your father was doing a contract for the Cornerian Military at the time and he rescued me. After that you're father asked me to join the Star Fox team and I accepted. It did take over a year for your father and me to start dating. Fox was shy so I had to start the relationship. We've been dating ever since. Krystal explains.

"So you're dating my father because he saved your life?"

Krystal laughs, "Of course not Vixy. I love your father very much. He didn't have to save my life for us to fall in love with him."

"I think I understand Krystal." Vixy replies and looks at Krystal. "I can see why daddy loves you. You are very beautiful."

"Aw, thank you Vixy." Krystal responds and pats Vixy on the head. "You are very beautiful yourself. I think that when you grow up you'll be even more beautiful than me."

"Oh boy, then I'll have a real problem with boys." Fox says only to get a glare from Krystal.

"You really mean that Krystal?" Vixy shouts giving Krystal an excited look.

"Of course I do sweetie. I do not joke around you." Krystal smiles. "I've been watching you and I can definitely see Fox in you."

"Really how?"

"Well, you're smart, strong, already got some leadership skills, and you have his looks. The way I see it, with proper training you can be an even better leader than your father."

"I hope so Krystal. I want to be just like him."

"I'm glad to hear it Vixy. Your father is a good man." Krystal replies. "I want you to know that I am here for you. You ever need any help at all just ask."

Vixy leans up against Krystal's side and snuggles up next to her. "Thank you Krystal. Though I'd like to see mommy and daddy get married I think that you and daddy make a beautiful couple."

"You're welcome Vixy. That means a lot. And you are just so cute." Krystal wraps her arm around Vixy and pulls her close.

Vixy leans in close and gently kisses Krystal on the cheek. Krystal looks at Vixy completely stunned. Even with her telepathy she didn't see this coming. All Krystal can do is return Vixy's kiss on the head.

Krystal suddenly remembers that this is Fox and Vixy's chance to bond. She is getting in the way. Krystal knows that she and Vixy can bond once Fara says it's ok for Fox to see Vixy. Though Krystal is already starting to fall in love with Vixy she knows that it's best if Fox and Vixy have room. Plus Krystal has her sandwich waiting for her.

"I'm sorry guys but I have to go." Krystal says as she stands up. "I got some business to take care of."

"Ok Krystal, I'll see you later." Vixy replies.

"I hope so Vixy. I hope to be seeing more of you around after this mission."

Krystal leans in close to Fox and whispers, "By the way honey, Fara has been watching you the whole time. She's been aboard the bridge watching you and Vixy bond over the security cameras."

Fox looks at Krystal shocked. "What is she thinking?"

Krystal smiles, "I can you that she is very impressed. She's already thinking of what days you can have Vixy."

"Really, that's very good news. Thank you Krystal, I really needed that news."

"You're welcome Fox, now if you'll excuse me I have a sandwich that needs my attention."

Krystal walks back to the kitchen leaving Fox and Vixy to finish the cartoon. Though Krystal doesn't show it, in her heart she is bursting with joy seeing Fox and Vixy bonding so well. It made the trip worth it. But the heartfelt joy leaves Krystal as soon as she walks into the kitchen and looks on the counter. Her sandwich is gone. Rage builds up inside Krystal to the point where she wants to rip the criminal's heart out with her bare hands. Thanks to Krystal's telepathy, and a blue feather on the floor, she knows exactly who the culprit is.

"FALCO YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!"

That night

Fara walks into the rec room finally ready to relax. She's been nervous the ever since she set foot aboard the Great Fox II. It's not the mission that has her worried, this is probably the simplest and easiest mission she's ever done, but Vixy that's got her nervous. Its Fox trying to show Fara that he deserves to be in Vixy's life that has her mind racing. So far he's doing a good job, by what Fara has seen but hasn't really proved that he should be. All he's done so far is shown that he can play with Vixy.

Fara is hoping to have the rec room to herself. Instead she finds Falco, Katt, and Slippy on the couch watching the LFL (Lylat Football League) game between the Macbeth Freight trains and Corneria Starfighters. It looks like a pretty close game, 17 to 14.

But in the corner, on the other side of the rec room, Fara sees something that makes her heart jump. Fox is sitting on the couch with Vixy snuggled up against his side as if she belongs there. Fox is reading Vixy story.

Fox read to Vixy playfully, making sure to stay entertaining. Fortunately Fox doesn't have to work too hard to entertain Vixy. "It was now the depths of December. The town was whipped round by blizzard winds. For days, the sun hid itself. But every morning, Mr. Sonnerman and Lucy ventured out. They wore heavy woolen coats and bright handknit scarves. And in their stiff, mittened fingers they held a bag. They went to every house in town. They traveled to every farm in the county. They knocked on every door. In every home, they told the story, they left a small gift, and they left an invitation."

"What are you guys reading?" Fara asks.

"Daddy is reading me "The Legend of the Candy Cane." Vixy shouts.

"Oh that was my favorite story when I was your age. I'll leave you two alone."

Fara takes a seat on the couch next to Falco and Katt. They haven't stopped making out since Fara walked into the room. Apparently they are getting back together. Though the game is very close Fara hardly pays any attention to it. Her focus is completely on Fox and Vixy. Fara can't help but be impressed how far they've come in a day. If Fara didn't know any better she would swear that Fox has been in Vixy's life since birth by how well they're bonding.

A few minutes later Fox finishes the story. Vixy claps with joy and hugs her father. Fara pretends not to notice how cute Fox and Vixy are together. She's just glad that no one notices the tear rolling down her cheek. Fara watches Fox and Vixy out of the corner of her eye. It brings a smile on her face to see Vixy yawn and snuggle up against Fox. Within moments Vixy is asleep.

Fara gets up from the couch, Falco and Katt do not break away from each other's lips, and walks over to Fox. She doesn't hide the smile as she approaches Fox, who is gently stroking Vixy's back.

"Fara, I haven't see you smiling like that since we were dating." Fox whispers with a slight smile.

"Well, what can I say Fox? I'm actually very impressed. Never thought that I'd see you two bond so quickly."

"That makes two of us. She's taken to me far quicker than I expected."

"She has always wanted to meet you, ever since she found out that you're her father. She's been completely obsessed with you."

"After today I believe it. She hasn't left my side since this morning. Which I gotta say Fara, I'm glad you decided to give us this opportunity. I can't thank you enough."

"You're welcome Fox, just don't make me regret it." Fara replies with her smiling faltering.

Fara grabs the sleeping Vixy and cradles her in her arms. Vixy yawns but doesn't wake up.

"Good night Fox."

"Good night Fara."

Krystal rolls over in the bed as she hears Fox enter the room. The look on Fox's face is priceless. Half expecting to see Krystal throw back the sheets, revealing her naked beautiful naked body to her mate. Instead Krystal just looks at Fox. Much to Fox's disappointment he can see that Krystal is actually clothed, wearing a tank top and shorts. To Fox's knowledge it's the first time that she's Krystal in his wearing something other than just his bedsheets.

"So I assume that sex tonight is out of the question?" Fox jokes.

"Well considering that Fara and Vixy's room is just right next I'd say that we can hold off on having sex for a few nights."

"Really Katt choose to put them right next door?"

"Yeah, it's the only room that we had vacant."

"Good point, it does make it easier for me to see Vixy. But that does create a problem. It'll be the longest that we gone without having sex."

"Tell me something I don't know Fox." Krystal replies a little sarcastically. "As I recall we haven't gone three days without having sex since we had our first dating anniversary."

Fox takes off his shirt and lies down next to Krystal. He wraps his arm around her and kisses her forehead. Krystal purrs at Fox's touch and kisses. After two years of dating Fox knows how to arouse her just like she knows how to arouse him.

"Fox you are not making this easy." Krystal says between gasps. "You might want to stop before we start mating. I don't think that Fara would be too happy if Vixy was suddenly awoken by the sounds of screaming."

"Good point Krystal." Fox says as he reluctantly backs off. "I promise you Krystal that we'll continue this some other time."

"I'm gonna hold you to that Fox." Krystal replies. "Looks like you are making great progress with Vixy."

"What can I say, that little girl already has a hold of my heart. She means more to me than just about anything. Heck, even Fara said that she was impressed."

"I know, I've been linked to Fara and Vixy since they walked on board. I can tell you that if you keep this up Fara will allow you to visit Vixy any time you want."

"That's great to hear."

"However, if you make one mistake Fara will yank Vixy away and you'll never see Vixy again." Krystal warns.

"Then I'll be sure not to make a mistake."

"Good luck Fox. You can't go one day without making a mistake."

"Very funny Krystal, but this is completely serious. I don't want to lose my daughter." Fox snaps back.

"You won't Fox, I'll do anything I can to help you. Vixy is a part of you so that means I have to accept her."

"Thank you Krystal, that means a lot to me."

"You're welcome Fox." Krystal whispers as she takes Fox's hand in hers. "Whatever happens this is going to be a fun trip."

"Understatement of the year Krystal."

To be continued.

Looks like everything is going well with Fox and Vixy. They are bonding like a proper father and daughter and making up for the years that they were apart. Even Krystal finds Vixy completely adorable and is starting to act like a stepmother to her. Krystal and Fara might even be getting along.

For those of you looking for some action, I promise you that some is coming. I can't bring myself to do a story without action. There will be some in the next chapter.

Also, if anyone is curious about why I choose to put the "Legend of the Candy Cane" book in the story it's simple. This story takes place about a week before Christmas. Plus it's one of the few Christmas books I happen to have on me at the time.

Please leave a review. I honestly want to know what you think of the story and how I can improve it.

Hope that you enjoying the story so far. The next chapter will be uploaded as soon as possible.

This is John Storm signing off. Star Frosty ya'll.
