later that day, I sat in my garage lab. Looking at emails from my mother, I was researching our family bloodlines as my mother ran blood tests. I had to try and find anything that would point me in the direction of how sera's telepathic powers would be so amped up. I glanced up at my ribbons and made a quick request for Tamsin. I had to ask her about why she was the lead shield to my daughters x-ray vision.

Tamsin walked into the garage as I was mid thought, tossing me a brown paper bag, "here, fresh from new York city." She moved past the couch, forgoing her usual climbing over the back and flopping, instead grabbing a chair by my desk. She leaned her head back, sighing hard, "there are some days I hate being a Valkyrie. New York was a rough one." Tamsin rolled her head over, "You rang? And thank you, I was in the middle of some rancid bar, getting a after Valhalla drink and a really gross Guido kept trying to buy me drinks."

I laughed as I dug my hand into the bag, pulling out a salt bag. Through a mouthful of bagel deliciousness, "fair warning, this might get nerd rant, but I need you to pay attention." Tamsin rolled her eyes and put her feet on the edge of the desk. Tamsin was dressed down, one of the few times she was not wearing a uniform. Her jeans hung off of her, evidence she was still adjusting to her new lifecycle, her blue leather jacket was still snug, the Valkyrie raised her eyebrows for me to start. "sera has seemed to develop some of her powers early, from my side of the family. She can read thoughts and see peoples dreams."

Tamsin laughed, "then I apologize now for whatever the midget finds in my r rated mind. Being as old as am I no longer filter anything that runs through my head."

I took another bite of the bagel, "these are really good, but here's the thing, my daughter cant read your thoughts or dreams. It seems the only dreams she can look into right now are Bo's." Another laugh bellowed out of Tamsin, "oh shit, I can only imagine the education the kid is getting from the succubus in dream land. You might be the only mom in the world who has to lay down the what mommy's and mommy's do when the love each other speech to a five year old." Tamsin laughed harder, "wait until I tell Moscow!"

I threw the rest of my bagel at the Valkyrie, who deftly caught it and popped it into her mouth.

"we are working on solutions to this, my mom is going to start working with her to control her gifts. Sera can read everyone but you, it doesn't matter if its dark or light fae, young or old. Sera can read them, All but you."

Tamsin shrugged, "if you are asking If my Valkyrie powers are preventing Sera from looking in, I can say no. We carry no enchantments that block others or allow others easier access. Our purpose is very straight forward and we usually cannot be stopped, we are simple warriors with a simple mission driven by death." Tamsin scratched at her head, "i agree it is strange, captain, since you and I are connected at the proverbial mental hip."

I pushed my glasses up, "can you ask around? See if there is some Valkyries who have experienced this kind of thing before? I only ask because it might give me insight on why you are blocked and lastly, Sera is worried you don't like the pictures she has drawn for you."

Tamsin smirked, reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a thin stack of paper. The stack was crumpled and neatly folded as Tamsin set them on the desk, "these are my favorite ones from her. I carry them with me everywhere I go. The others cover the bulletin board in the spare room at the crash pad."

I couldn't hold back my smile as I picked up the drawings, they were all different depictions of Tamsin and her wings, Tamsin with the family. "your kid is pretty special too me, captain, and I hate kids."

As if on cue, Sera burst into the garage, she paused right inside the door, smiling at Tamsin. "Tam Tam, I knew it. Mummy was thinking about you." Sera suddenly became shy and even blushed a little. I drew my gaze to Tamsin, silently reiterating my lecture on my daughters gift. Tamsin sat forward on the chair, "hey kiddo, you going to stand there and stare or am I going to get a midget squeeze?"

Sera giggled and ran into Tamsins arms, "i missed you Tam Tam." Sera sat in her lap, playing with the blondes hair. Tamsin gave her a look, "kiddo, its only been a day. I told you I had to fly around for a little bit." the Valkyrie made a flapping motion with her arms, making the little girl laughed. Tamsin paused and looked at Sera in the eyes, "hey, midget. Can you tell what I am thinking right now?" the two blondes stared in each others eyes, both with focused eyes. Sera eventually looked away, frowning, "i cant Tam Tam."

Tamsin hugged the little girl and looked at me, "its okay midget, p.s. I love every picture you have ever drawn for me." Sera smiled wide, "you do?"

"i do."

my daughter wiggled free and ran back out of the garage, shouting, "i made one for you at Grams!"

the Valkyrie laughed, and leaned back in the chair. I set my glasses on my desk, "thank you, I still cant place why you have magnetos helmet when it comes to Sera. But I do know that my kid adores you."

"that is because I showed her my wings, finally. While you and the succubus were getting your tan on." Tamsin put her feet back up on the desk, "the kid was amazed, and before you get on my ass, I did not take her flying or let her touch my wings."

sera burst back into the garage, a piece of colored paper in her hands, she was oozing excitement. So much so she almost crashed into Tamsin, who had to catch her before the little girl tumbled into the larger woman. "whoa midget." Sera righted herself, swiped at the blonde hair in her face, breathless, "here! Here!" the smile on my face was stuck as I watched my daughter explain the winged drawing to Tamsin. It made my heart smile as I watched Tamsin genuinely listen and care what my little one was telling her.

Bo and I held hands as we watched Sera walking in front of us. It was a nice night, the three of us decided to walk around the neighborhood after dinner.

"did Tamsin tell you anything?"

I shook my head as I watched my kid walk exactly like Bo. "no, she told me that Valkyries are fae by default. They are a part of the world but the have no extraordinary power that can prevent or assist the Lewis girls powers." I pulled Bo closer to me, "i am baffled by this." I glanced down at Bo, "she does adore Tamsin, little bit of a hero worship going on after Sera saw the wings." Bo rolled her eyes, "great."

"its okay, the kid already knows more about the fae than we both do, and I trust Tamsin to be careful with out daughter." before I finished, sera turned to us, "Don't worry mommy, Tam Tam said you would rip her wings off if she ever hurt me again." the little girl held up a giant maple leaf, "what did she mean, again?"

Bo paused and I could feel her tense up, looking to me, "why me? Why does she pick up on everything in my head?" Sera trotted to Bo, grabbing her legs and looking up at her mother with bright green eyes, "because you and I are the same, Grams says because we are bonded and we are both suckbusses, we are stuck together like super glue." Sera laid her head against Bo's thigh as we both giggled at how the little one pronounced succubus. The little girl sighed hard, "I also hear Aunts Kenzi worry about leaving us forever. I thought she was like us, mommy."

I felt the overwhelming sadness in Bo, kenzi was still human and we all were aware of it as time moved on. Kenzi just turned thirty, but would soon surpass us in age in the blink of an eye. Bo bent down so she could look eye to eye with the bright green eyes, "aunts Kenzi is human, you know that. Remember when she had the flu and we had to take care of her, and you asked why you never got sick?" the little blonde head shook yes as Bo struggled to find the words, "Aunts Kenzi will be around for a long time, dont you worry, noodle." Bo was having a hard time dealing with Kenzi's mortality and her kid asking about it. She hugged her until sera pulled back, looking at the both of us with an intensity I had never seen and was impressive for a five year old, "i will make something that helps Aunt Kenzi stay with us forever." I bent down, placing a hand on Bo's back, "Honey, some things we cant control."

Sera shook her head, "no, Aunts Kenzi will be with us forever, I will fix her." I heard Bo gasp as Sera's eye flickered a light purple color. I held out my hand, "come on noodle, lets go get ice cream."

Sera's serious face and eyes returned to a normal happy one, I could pick up on how determined my daughter was to make sure that the ones she loved stayed with her. I looked at Bo as sera pranced ahead of us singing the same song Kenzi did when she was getting ice cream. Bo sought out my hand, squeezing it tightly, "our kid is going to be one hell of a handful, Lauren." I brought Bo's hand up to mine kissing it, "she certainly is."

later that night, after putting a super sleepy and super ice creamed little girl to bed, I met Bo in our bedroom. Closing the door behind me and taking my mothers advice, locking it. Bo was still mildly bothered that her daughter was fixated on what Bo was thinking about, mixed with her eyes changing color. Bo was sitting on the edge of the bed in her usual pajamas of black tank top and black underwear. She smiled weakly at me as I sat next to her, "i am scared I did this too her, Lauren, that I passed some of my evil onto her." she let out a breath, "Trick and Elizabeth promised us that her powers would not show up until she was at least starting high school, but what if, what if some of my darkness got in her and now its speeding up things."

I gently grabbed Bo's chin, getting her to look at me, "Bo, no. My mother already checked sera for that. She had no signs of darkness in her. She is an easy going kid, a very determined child and I think everything that happened when I was pregnant with her, sped up her genetics. She is growing everyday, in a year she will be taller than Kenzi." Bo laughed lightly, "that would not take much."

"i know, but it made you smile. Bo, our kid is extremely powerful, our three families mixing together, it was expected that any kid of ours now and in the future will be stronger than the rest of us." I bent and kissed bo, "she loves you, she reads only your sad thoughts to make you feel better. As for the Kenzi thing, she has your temper and my determination. I honestly would not be surprised if in a few years did come up with a way to make Kenzi immortal." I ran my hand down Bo's arm, "mom is going to start work with Sera next week to teach her how to control her powers and teach her manners." I looked over at the door, "but for now, we lock the door at night. I told Sera why as I was tucking her in, she understands." my hand made its way down to Bo's warm thigh, "now, what's this dream of getting me pregnant again?"

Bo smiled as she held my hand against her thigh, "i have been thinking about it, I love noodle and I think it would be fun for her to have a brother or a sister." Bo's deep brown eyes smiled as she looked at me, "but I have no idea how to do that again or if you even want to try."

I sighed at the sight of the brown eyes that always made my heart skip, "its a possibility, but can we wait until we get our first born reigned in a little more? I cannot imagine chasing around two super faes and Kenzi." Bo nodded, her smile still on her face, "i can do that, but, one thing Dr. Lewis." Bo moved my hand further up, "can we at least practice making babies?" she bent forward, placing warm kisses on my neck, "we might have to work at it, over and over to get it right." Bo's voice dropped as her eyes flashed blue, I gasped as Bo brought my hand to feel just how much she wanted to practice.

I pushed Bo down onto the bed lightly, and climbed over her, balancing myself over her. Bo reached up to push my hair back, the other hand grabbed at my hips. I bit at the inside of my cheek at the sight of how beautiful Bo was, "i think you are right, a lot of practice and a lot of work may be in order Mrs. Lewis." I bent and captured her lips in mine, kissing her hard and long, making Bo writhe under me. I lowered my weight down onto her, pressing our bodies together gently, I ran my fingers down her jaw, pulling a moan from Bo, who mumbled, "we have to go back to being quiet..." she frowned lightly, I laughed as I ran my hands to her tank top, pushing it down and placing my hand on her breast, "we do, don't we." Bo arched up into my hand and pulled my hips closer in, her eyes were blazing a bright blue.

I felt a shiver that told me that whatever we were about to do, it was going to be far from quiet. I looked at the clock and back at bo, "is kenzi home?"

Bo was holding my hand against her breast, "yea, I saw her in the kitchen digging for food. I told you a long time ago, I am down for a threesome but not with my best friend." I hopped up off of Bo, making her growl lightly, "didn't I tell you a long time ago to never leave me topless, Lauren?"

I turned to look at my wife, obviously on the verge of attacking me, "maybe the little one wants to have a surprise pajama party in the crash pad..." the crash pad was sound proof so we would not be disturbed from the loud dance parties Kenzi would indulge in. Bo's angry look softened as she sat up, fixing her shirt. "i am totally approve a impromptu slumber party."

I threw on a robe and went to Seras room as Bo called Kenzi, I came back with a now wide awake little girl, bouncing at the idea I just told her, "and I can watch zombie movies?!" I nodded as Bo finished talking to Kenzi, "i promise, full shopping trip with Lauren and I, anything you want." Bo rolled her eyes, "i know, I know we had a week on bang island, but you know how it goes." Bo winked at me and waved at her daughter who was too giddy to understand anything her mom was talking about. "oh, I do love you Kenzi, Lauren is bringing her up now." Bo shut the phone off and walked to us, scooping up sera, "love you noodle, have fun with Aunts Kenzi. We will see you in the morning and we will go shopping after lunch!"

Sera jiggled, "can we look at swords?" Bo looked at me, "that's up to mummy."

I reached for Sera, "come on, lets get you to the crash pad." I leaned into bo, kissing her, "be back in a minute." my heart jumped at what Bo was thinking, I had to take our little girl out before she became distracted from talking about the swords she wanted, to hone in on what Bo was thinking about.

I hugged Kenzi and Sera quickly, before running back to the house. I felt like a mild pervert as I ran back to the bedroom, but I knew in a few years our little daughter would be a fully grown, fully functioning succubus. I pushed the bedroom door open and was attacked by a full grown, brown haired, married succubus.

Short one, I know, but I have gotten myself in a twirl with partners and I need to finish that one so I can properly focus on this one. every time I try getting somewhere with the family, I drift to what is to come next in partners. so quick chapter and I am attacking partners full force to tie that one up! hang in with me as I battle mild block on this one and continue throwing curves in the other.
