The next day was a lot like the previous day. They woke up and got ready for the day, but instead of going to meet Mr. Monroe at the airport they went to pick him up from a hotel that him and T'chala were staying at. He'd told his highness that he would be fine if the king went back to his country to be with his people, but T'chala insisted, saying that he was interested in seeing Ororo, and meeting her family and friends as much as he was.
"I haven't seen Ororo for a very long time Mr. Monroe, I'd consider it an honor to be able to get reacquainted with her as well." T'chala said to David the previous night after they left the Howlett's place, David thanked the king for his kindness, and generosity, knowing that he didn't have to do all of this for him by any means.
Ororo and Logan got up early the next day, though not beating their little bundle of joy to it. woke up before them. Logan went out into the kitchen to get his coffee, and tea for Ororo, meanwhile she went into the room to find Jessie out of her bed and climbing up to the window ceil. "Jessie!" Ororo nearly shouted, the toddler turned her head hearing her name called, suddenly she lost her balance, Ororo summoned the wind catching the little one, she ran to the window and pulled her daughter to herself hugging her tightly. Logan was in the room in a blitz. "What'd you think you were doing up there?" Ororo asked ignoring her husbands presence in the room. "To see the deer." Jessie said innocently, Ororo looked up to the window as Logan went over to see what their daughter was talking about. There were deer tracks outside just below the window, he turned around a moment later. "Yep there was a deer out there alright." Logan said looking to his wife and daughter. "Mommy scared it!" Jessie said loudly and started to whimper upset. "I am sorry Jessie, but you shouldn't go up on dangerous places like that, you could fall and go boom!" "Want to say hi the deer!" Jessie whined, Ororo looked to Logan who gave her a crooked smile, then approached putting a hand on their daughter's head. "You can still see the deer, pup." At his statement she looked up from her crying. "How about we go deer tracking, while Mommy prepares breakfast." "Deer twacking?" "Yep, what d' ya think little Darlin?" She smiled at him liking the idea, Ororo looked to her husband happy that he knew exactly what to do to calm their child.
Ororo kissed the little one's head and nuzzled her gently then put the little girl down and gave Logan a hug and kiss. "It'll be ready in about fifteen minutes." She said smiling as she pulled herself out of the room, and into the kitchen to get their food ready. Meanwhile Logan got Jessie changed, keeping her calm with the promise of deer tracking. After changing the little girl into some outside clothes, she ran out the door of her room to her Mom hugging her leg. Ororo looked down to the little one smiling peacefully to her, she bent down picking up the girl holding her close to her chest, then planting little kisses all over her face. "Hahaha! Mommy!" Jessie squealed as her Mom continued the kiss attack. "What?… You are mine!" Ororo said playfully as she nuzzled her face and messed with her hair. Logan stood aloft as Ororo continued to love on their child, her head went up a moment later attention going to Logan. He smiled the girl squirmed in her Mom's arms, Ororo let her down a moment later. "Let's go deer twacking Daddy!" She said exuberantly. "Ok." He said joyfully as he picked her up swinging her up onto his shoulders, she laughed as he did this. "Ya ready Pup?" "Yeah!" She shouted, Ororo watched happily as the two marched out the door.
"Ok, so… What d' ya think we need to do in order to track the critter?" Logan asked little Jessie on his shoulders. "Find it!" She said excitedly, her Dad couldn't help a chuckle from escaping his lips at her words. "Well, that's the final step in our trek… what about before that?" "Twack it!" Her pronounciation of the word tickled his core. "Yep… you know one thing that deer like to do?" "What?" "Play the quiet game." "What's that?" "It's when you're so quiet that nothing can detect you." He said looking up to her. "How about we play that game for a little bit… maybe we can outsmart the deer." "Ok!" She was excited to play a game while they looked for the deer. "In order to play the quiet game, you gotta make as little noise as possible, so no sounds. Think ya can do that?" "Ok!" "If you see it pat the side of my head you see it on, alright?" She thumped her hand down on his head, he took that as a yes.
Fifteen minutes later;
They'd tracked the deer to about a half-mile away from the house, Logan sniffed around knowing that it was nearby. There was a sudden pat on the top-left side of his head, he could smell something that way, but he wouldn't tell little Jessie that. Looking over that way, about twenty feet in front of them was a little wagging white tail. Thankfully for them, they were downwind of it, so it didn't sense them yet. Logan did his best to avoid the crunchy leaves and twigs as they approached the doe, crouching down so if it looked up it hopefully wouldn't see them. After a minute of creeping they were about five feet from the animal. Logan gave Jessie a signal to stay quiet, she did her best to ignore the urge to jump off her Dad's back and hug the deer. Logan reached up taking hold of his daughter and lifting her off his shoulders, he planted himself in a sitting position on the ground, then placed the little girl in his arms, wrapping them around her. He lowered his mouth to her ear. "Now wait." She was just about to say something when he put his finger to her lips, suddenly the deer turned her head toward the two, the girl smiled at it. "Hi deer!" She said happily, the deer turned toward them slowly, curious. Logan then took his little girl's hand, pouring something gooey and clear into it, he then extended her hand in his to the doe. It stepped forward seeming interested in the sudden offering. A moment later her tongue struck out licking the child's hand, she laughed as it tickled, startling the deer slightly. Its head jerked up and body stiffened, "Shh… it's fine… this is my pup." He said calmly to the doe, she turned her attention back to the toddler in the man's arms, then took another step forward. Jessie laughed again as the doe sniffed her face. Jessie put her hands on the deer's face petting it. "Hehehe!" The girl laughed happily at her new animal friend who then turned her attention back to the honey on Jessie's hand. They stayed there with the deer for the next couple minutes. Jessie was very hesitant to leave, but when her Dad mentioned her favorite breakfast, complete with Oreos, and going to see Grandpa again, she turned and said bye-bye to the doe. She then turned starting to run, he caught up to her. "Whoa, hold on little runner, home is that way." He said pointing towards their house. "No, it's this way!" She insisted keeping her pace from before, and running in the same direction. She was suddenly scooped up by two big hands. "You're goin the wrong way pup!" He said running alongside her. "No I not!" She said still running, there was another scent that hit his nose just then, and playtime was over.
He pounced in front of her, letting her run into him, she bumped into him falling down he caught her just before she landed on the ground, she looked up to her Dad who now had a bit more of a stern look on his face. "Jessica, home is that way." He said pointing in the opposite direction, she looked backwards, then back up to him. "I wanna go that way!" "Not today kid." He said gently firm, then picked her up, walking back in the direction of home, he sped to a trot as the scent of their breakfast reached his nose.
Getting in the door of their house Logan greeted his wife, then took himself and little Jessie to the sink to wash their hands. When they came out Ororo was waiting by the table. "Well, it sounds like the two of you had quite the adventure." She said looking at Logan, he smiled to her. "We did." Jessica ran up to her, "Mommy! Mommy! We found the deer, and we fed it and pet it!" "Pet it?" Ororo asked the girl nodded happily, "Hm, you're Father's good with animals isn't he." "Yeah!" She said happily to her Mom. "Are you hungry?" "Uh-huh!" "Ok, come on." Ororo said as she picked up her little girl and put her in the highchair, then set food before her.
After some more talk and eating, they packed some snacks, and went out the door to go meet David and T'chala who they were going to meet with again today.
