For the first time in months Abe woke up when his body decided to and with out a weight on his chest. He stretched and looked around. Abby was curled into his side. Abe blinked, if Abby was still asleep where was Anahita?
Anahita was a year old now and had taken to swimming quickly after that first incident. She began climbing soon after and had started walking before crawling.
As Abe looked around he started to worry. As he started to swim towards the switch to raise the shutter and let in light without turning on the tank lights he caught a blob in the corner. He smiled as he swam over.
Toby was curled up in the corner and Anahita was laying against his side, one hand tangled in the kelp/fur of his side.
Abe glanced back as he felt the water shift to find Abby stretching and looking around. Abe smiled and with one last look at Anahita and Toby he swam over and gathered Abby in his arm. He swam to the top of the tank and set her on the edge of the tank.
Abby sighed and draped her arms around his shoulders and placed her head in the crook of his neck. "Where's Ana?"
Abe kissed her temple, smoothing her hair away from the side of her face. "She's asleep with Toby at the bottom of the tank."
Abby lifted her head and blinked sleepily. "So Toby's done ignoring her existence?"
Abe chuckled and shrugged before trailing kisses from just under her ear and down the side of her neck. Abby squirmed and shoved him backwards, laughing as he huffed in frustration, before scrambling to her feet and bolting down the hall, Abe on her heels.
!#$!#$!#$!#$!#$
Anahita blinked awake and rubbed her eyes. As she sat up Toby opened an eye and watched as she swam to were her parents had been asleep. Anahita looked around a minute before swimming up and kicking at the button that opened the release. After a few minutes of kicking she got frustrated and screeched at Toby who raise his head to look at her before curling into a ball.
Anahita pouted and swam down tugging on a strand of kelp. "'oby!" Toby glanced up nudged her away with his nose before curling up again. Anahita huffed and swam around to head butt him in the forehead. "'oby open!"
Toby yawned as he stretched and swam up, hitting the button with his head before drifting back down to the bottom and curling up again.
Anahita swam up and looked around the room full of books. She started to get frustrated when she didn't see her parents. When the golden doors open she perked up only to pout when it was just her Uncle Red.
!#!#$!#$!#$!#$
Hellboy had just talked Gregory into feeding the twins and decided find the book Liz had been asking about. He walked into the library and jumped when he heard a little voice over the speakers, "Unco Wed!"
He turned and saw Anahita floating in the tank. He walked up and tried to see the bottom of the tank. "Hey squirt. Where's your mom and dad?"
When Anahita shrugged Hellboy's brow scrunched up. Before he could say anything Anahita tapped on the glass in front of him. "Hungry, out please!"
Hellboy grinned at her, "One minute Guppy." As he headed up the stairs he racked his brain for why Abe and Abby were not with Anahita. She may be more intelligent than half of the agents and further developed than the twins who were nearly a year older, but she was still only a year old. The couple hadn't even let anyone watch her before. In the little over a year that she had been around only one of them ever went on a mission at a time.
As Hellboy walked down the hall a slight sound caught his attention. He took half a step towards it before realizing it had come from the couples room. He rolled his eyes and grumbled to himself about it not being fair before continuing to the top of the tank.
As he entered the tank room he found Anahita floating near the edge. He grinned at her and turned to grab a towel off the chair. As he turned he looped his tail in the water lifting her up and kept her behind him as he turned back around.
When he looked in the water he fained shock. "Guppy where'd you go!"
Anahita giggled and Hellboy quirked his head and spun in a circle keeping her behind him. "Guppy?" Anahita giggled again and reached out, tapping him on the back. "Here Unco Wed!" Hellboy spun to face the opposite dirrection. "Where?"
Anahita, still giggling, tugged on his tail, "In yus tail!"
Hellboy turned, keeping his tail in place, and gave a little start when he had her in front of him. "How'd you get over there?"
"Yus picked me up siwy!" Anahita gave him a toothy grin that caused him to flinch slightly, he still wasn't used to the fact that she had such sharp teeth.
Hellboy chuckled as he wrapped her in the towel and headed back down the hall, walking quickly past the bedroom.
!#%!#%!#$!#$!#$!
Liz hummed in satisfaction as she lounged in the large tub full of bubbles. She loved the fact that since the tub was big enough for Hellboy to fit in, she could stretch out and not even come close to hiting her feet on the opposite wall. She also loved the fact that Hellboy had taken the kids for breakfast and said he'd keep them out of her hair till noon. She decided the second he said it that she was going to take a nice long bath before clean the tornado disaster they called a room.
She was drifting in and out when she heard a squeal from the main room which caused her to jump. She squinted to catch a reflection in the bathroom window but when she couldn't see anything she got out and wrapped her self in a towel before slowly opening the door.
As another happy squeal sounded it drew her attention to just behind the TV sets. She blinked as she saw Hellboy's tail swaying back and forth before diving slightly then rising again. Wrapped in it was Anahita and not Scarlet as she expected it to be. She looked around the room as she heard Hellboy mumbling to himself, the TV's probably not cooperating with him, and when she didn't see Abe or Abby she cleared her throat.
!#$!#$!#$!#$!#$!#$!#$!#
Anahita blinked as she heard a cough like noise before her uncle red jumped and hit his head on the funny boxes he'd been messing with. As he stood up he swayed her back and forth while grinning at her Aunt Liz. She registered a question about her parents before her attention was drawn back to the egg in her hand. They were yummy but her uncle's Gregory and John didn't like giving them to her. Which is why she liked that one of her parents was always around. Well till now, but Uncle Red gave her one.
She was jostled slightly as her uncle stepped forward and turned sitting on the couch while her aunt left the room again. He shifted her so she sitting partly on his stomach and partly on his stone hand. His hand wasn't comfy but sometimes he mad funny rumbly noises in his chest and she could lean back and listen to them.
!#$!#$!#$!#$!#$!#$
Hellboy grinned as Anahita leaned her head back and turned her ear to his chest. He gave a slight grawl and she squealed in happiness clapping her hands. He shook his head and turned on the TV's setting most of the to old cartoons before turning his attention to the news, not that he really cared about the weather but sometimes they got lucky and caught something supernatural.
!#$!#$!#$!#$!#$!$
Abby gave a cat like stretch before flooping down and nuzzling into Abe's side. As his arm wrapped around her she hummed and glanced at the clock which read 12:27pm. She sighed and curled back into his side and was about to drift off again before a thought struck her and she jumped out of bed, knocking Abe out in the prosess and pulling on one of her one-piece suits before bolting down the hall and dingin in the tank.
!#$!#$!#$!$
Abe groaned and rubbed his head glancing around. He noticed the door hanging open and then glanced at the clock before jumping up and bolting down the hall while pulling on his shorts.
When he reached the tank Abby was already climbing back out looking panicked. "Toby's still in there but Anahita's gone!"
Abe allowed himself only a moment to panic before noticing the shutter open. He grabbed a hold of Abby's forearms and turned her towards the shutters. When Abby saw them open she sighed. She then brought both hands up and rubbed her face. "I'm a terrible mother!"
Abe chuckled and Abby hit him in the arm glaring at him. "It's not funny!" Abe shook his head and laughed again. Abby snorted and stomped back to their room grabbing a pair of cotton pants and pulling them on over her suit as she turned to leave again Abe grabbed her arm and pulled her back to his chest, kissing her neck. "Just think about it my love. Who would be more afraid of what you would do if they interrupted us then if they didn't."
Abby sighed as she reached out her mind and found the hum of Anahita's mind in Hellboy's room. Abe chuckled as he heard her mumble. "Imma kill him anyway."
