A/N: This was originally a deleted scene. It was supposed to be towards the end of the last chapter but I couldn't really make it fit. I did however love writing it, so thought I should turn it into something a little more. This is my attempt at light-hearted humour, so I hope you enjoy.
Special Thanks goes out to KenH and superlc529 whose constant reviews and encouragement have kept me motivated - Thanks guys!
Sometime later…
"So Henry, why don't you tell Jo about the most embarrassing way you've died?" Henry turned to his son with a look of pure horror before Abe waved his hand dismissively. "No, no, not that one, I meant the other one. The electrocution."
Henry visibly relaxed somewhat, before the shadow of a smile crossed his face. "Oh yes, that was embarrassing… and stupid."
"Yeah, mom wasn't real impressed."
"Mmmm, I ruined her lunch plans."
"Not to mention her toaster."
"Wait, what happened?" Jo asked eagerly.
Henry sighed in annoyance. "I was making Abe breakfast and a piece of toast got stuck, so I tried to get it out," he said simply, as though it were no big deal.
"Yeah, it turns out that knives in toasters, really is a bad idea." Abe said with a huge grin.
"You saw it?" Jo asked, surprised.
"Not really, I more heard it. The damn thing sounded like a bomb going off. There was a huge flash, then I look over and he's gone."
"How old were you?"
"Oh I dunno, 11, maybe 12?"
"So what did you do?"
"Well I went swimming…" Henry started casually, before Jo turned and slapped him gently across the arm, with a wide smile on her face.
"I was talking to Abe."
Abe sniggered. "I just called out for mom. She was so mad at you," he said, turning to his father with an equally big grin. "She was cursing you the whole way down to the river."
"Yes I remember." Henry said rather seriously. "I got several lectures after that."
"Of course it wasn't funny at the time," Abe added.
"Well I hope not."
Jo tried to hide her grin. "So when it comes down to it, what you're trying to tell me, is that you were killed by a toaster?"
"I was electrocuted."
"By a toaster."
"By a knife in a toaster, yes. Although at this stage I think I prefer 'death by stupidity', but only just."
"And to think," Jo said with a smirk, "That wasn't even top of your list."
"No it's not and I'm afraid that if you think that I am going to share that particular story with you, then you are sorely mistaken." He said, as he gathered the three empty glasses and disappeared into the kitchen. Abe waited until he had disappeared out of the sight before he leaned in towards her with a mischievous grin. "Don't worry, I'll tell you later."
"Abraham," Henry growled from the other room.
"My God! you're hearing's like a cat!"
"You're not so big that I can't still put you over my knee."
Jo looked between Abe and the entrance to the kitchen and laughed. "Maybe it's best you don't."
"The scary thing is, he probably would too. Just another problem that comes with having an immortal dad."
Henry popped his head out and pointed at his son, his eyes narrowed. "I'm watching you."
"Yes Dad."
Thanks again everyone, peace out.
