Chapter 2

Maxie parked the car carefully in the driveway, after all he wouldn't want to damage the boxes of Duplo bricks he had got for his little girls. As he walked to the boot his pet Growlithe bounded along beside him.

Leaning down, Maxie scratched behind it's ears "You going to help me carry them in" The Pokemon yapped and Maxie carefully placed one into it's mouth. Hefting two other boxes into his arms. Then, gently closing the boot he entered through the garage.

On the sofa Lysandre was snuggling the twins

He was entertaining them with a storybook when Maxie entered the room. Kat looked up from the book and smiled at him, her single tooth peeking out. He carefully put the boxes down and picked her up.

She snuggled up to him and whispered "Dada", Maxie smiled and stroked her back. Kat suddenly squealed as she had noticed the boxes of toys.

Kneeling down he placed a blanket on the floor. When it was flat he gently placed Kat on her front then gave her a few bricks to play with. Lysandre had placed Amber down next to Kat with some of the blocks for her. The two adults retired to the sofa for a rest and to watch the kids play.

Half an hour later Maxie had fallen asleep, lying against Lysandre when a Duplo brick sailed through the air with all the grace that a flying toy brick possesses and smacked him on the forehead. The twins had managed to crawl to one of the boxes and tip it over and now they were chucking blocks everywhere. The second block that made contact with Maxie's forehead startled him awake. Suddenly greeted by a smell that he wished didn't exist he went to pick Kat up.

Gagging, Maxie carried her into the bedroom. A few minutes later he came out still rather green with Kat bouncing in his arms. During the time Maxie had been changing Kat, Lysandre had set up the baby bouncers and Amber was happily bouncing away in one.

Kat saw her sister and squealed, promptly deafening Maxie. Lysandre laughed and took the infant from his stunned partner and gently clipped her into her bouncer. Once Lysandre had stepped away she began bouncing enthusiastically. Maxie chuckled and sat back on the sofa, watching his girls play.
