Aegis 3.0

[Scripted Away]

"Just the oldest kids. The younger ones make friends there and just have a good time", Macon explained with a soft smile, before he picked misha up so he wouldn't have to haste like that. "And you have breakfast together and celebrate when a kid has birthday..."

Raven smiled softly as she gave Tyler's hand a gentle squeeze.
"No problem at all", she said with a loving sparkling in her eyes.
Honestly, it still rang in her ears how Billie had asked if she would be like a new mom for him. It was sad that he probably barely remembered his parents, but maybe that was the better way, at least for him. You could hardly miss someone you don't know.
"You two just make yourself at home. I just quickly wanna go over to my parents house and visit my dad", she explained silently.

Rose just smiled softly as she wiped the tear off her dad's cheek and kissed his nosetip.
"Same for you though, dad. You are far more than you think you are."
She just leaned against his shoulder, sighing happily as her father's warmth comforted her. Yeah, he had his flaws...but nothing could ever change something about that he was her hero, and would always stay just that.
"Dad, why did that letter make you cry?", she asked softly. "I didn't want to read it without you being okay with it.''


"And still you didn't tell me either", Ava said with a slightly ironic smile while she gently pulled Mike to the couch and leaned her head against his shoulder.
"I mean, I've asked you, but your reason that HACK threatened you to go to the police and made you join that way- and that's the only thing you told me- just seems kind of...off- to me..."

Smiling calmly, Lola went further into the water, until they couldn't stand anymore, her arms tightly wrapped around Dylan's waist to keep him on the surface.
"Do what i do", she explained patiently. "Breathe, move your legs to stay on the surface. And when you wanna go forwards, just move your arms as if you're trying to shovel the water behind you."

 

[Wyosch]

"But I want to have breakfast with you and not with other kids.", Misha mumbled, cuddling against his father's chest. He loved being carried. Not just because he didn't have to walk then, which was great as well, but also because he could cuddle then.
And he loved cuddling.
"Daddy? Do I have to go to kindergarten? I don't want to share my food."

"Alright, Raven. I'll bring this little guy to bed and then wait for you to come back.", Tyler explained, smiling lovingly as he kissed her cheek and turned around to make his way to her bedroom, where Billie would sleep until they'd get an own bed for her.
"I love you."

Jim wrapped his arms around Rose, hugging her tightly, and just enjoying being with his daughter. He'd missed this so much.
"Why it made me cry?", he repeated, smiling sadly. "Well... your sister and I weren't exactly on good terms after everything that had happened, and no matter how much I apologized she kept... hating me. And now she writes that she understands, and forgives... and that she loves me."

Mike raised an eyebrow at Ava, frowning.
"I- I didn't tell you?", he mumbled, sighing. "Well I- honestly I was jealous. I was jealous of those people that could transform into something else, and were better than everyone else. My mom admired them so much, but I- I didn't."

Dylan was breathing heavily, yet doing what she told him to do, always keeping his gaze down to the water.
"Am I doing this alright? I'm not gonna drown right?", he asked, looking up at Lola with big eyes for a moment.
"I'm a coward, ain't I?"

 

[Scripted Away]

"Just give it some time, you'll change your mind when your grow a bit older", Mac laughed softly while he had a look at all the different parrots, until he suddenly almost started squealing like Hunter. "Oh my pygmy marmoset", he gasped at the sight of the, in his opinion, cutest thing ever. And it was starting at him with wide, excited eyes. "Misha, look! That's a pygmy marmoset. The world's smallest monkey", her explained excitedly. "The best thing- they eat spiders."
As the monkey suddenly squeezed through a gap in its cage, jumped on Mac's head and started grooming his 'fur', he was barely more than a puddle on the ground. "Okay I'm dying. That's so cute."

"I love you too." Smiling happily, raven watched Tyler and Billie for a moment, before she grabbed her keys and headed out of the house, towards her parents' home. She took a deep breath, straightened her back... And finely rang the doorbell.

"Of course she loves you, haven't you felt that? ", Rose asked surprised as she looked up at her father.
She usually felt the emotions of people around her, as if she was soaking them up like a sponge.
"She never hated you, dad. She was disappointed and angry, but she never stopped loving you."
As the doorbell rang, she looked in the direction of the entrance door for a moment, before she raised her eyebrows. "Raven!"

"And so you felt like your mother loved your shapeshifter-sister more than you, hm?", Ava asked carefully while she gently stroked over Mike's back to comfort him.
"My dad has been a human, too, and he thought very similar about supernaturals. He never admitted it, but I could feel it in the way he looked at Hel and me. He was scared by himself, because on the one hand, he loved Hel and me, but I the other hand there was a deep jealousy he couldn't deny. A jealousy that made him feel like mom wasn't interested in him anymore, now that she had two such extraordinary kids. A darkborn and a demon. I know that's one of the reasons why he started darting Winnie in the first place. She didn't make him feel like a weakling, because she was 'only' human, too."
With sorrow written in her gaze, she looked up at Mike and gently took his hand.
"Anom, fairy, dragon, caster, timeplayer, unicorn, mermaid, harpy...- who cares? Even if some don't have any fancy manipulation powers or can't turn someone into wood- " she smirked softly at him, winking. "Everyone has an ability. Sometimes it's just being a great friend, or having amazing ideas."
Looking up into his eyes, hers sparkling, she softly stroked over his cheek. "Or bringing a frozen heart back to life. It doesn't matter what you are, sweetie. It's who you are. And I'm sure your mom and family think about it just the same."

"A coward wouldn't call himself a coward", Lola said with a soft smirk, before the mantamanta Ray tattoo on her chest and belly suddenly moved.
The lines dissolved, creeped down her arms and onto Dylan's body, where they returned to their original shape.
"I haven't been born as an anom either. This age old spell is passing down my family for centuries already. Our tattoos still mean a lot to us, but they were much more in the old days. They were power. There was an old, almost forgotten ritual that connected an animals spirit and a person. They protected their bearers, granted them powers. Most left when the bearer died, but this particular spirit here stayed with my family for ages. It is what gives me my shift and ability to breathe underwater. Right now, it's granting you those powers though. So even if you sink, you won't drown, because you can breathe underwater, as long as this one stays with you."
Pointing he finger at him with a challenging smirk, she poked his chest. "I want it back when we're out of the water again, though!"

 

[Wyosch]

Misha stared at the monkey with big eyes, tilting his head at what he was doing with his dad's hair.
"What's that thing doing with your hair?", he asked, slightly frowning at the weird monkey. It was so small. Kinda creeped him out.
"Why does it have such big eyes?"

Tyler brought Billie to back, using his powers to make the boy wear his pyjamas. They had to pick up the rest of his stuff tomorrow.
As he lay his brother on one side of the big bed, he sat down next to him after he had tucked him in.
"Comfortable?"
"Yes!"
"That's good. Need anything else?"
"Ty?"
"Yes, Billie?"
"Raven will stay, right?"
Tyler frowned sadly, raising an eyebrow at the young boy.
"I hope so. Why do you ask?"
"I don't want to lose anyone else. And I don't want you to return to how you were. She changed you. You're so happy right now. I can feel it. If she'd leave... I'd lose you."
Tyler held his breath for a moment, just staring at Billie, until he nodded slowly, quickly ruffling Billie's hair.
"You won't lose anyone else, okay? I'm here, always was and always will be."
"But you almost-"
"I didn't. I'm still here, and I'm not leaving you anymore. 'Kay?"
Billie nodded, yawning and stretching his arms before he reached out to hug his big brother once more. Tyler returned the hug, kissed his forehead and got up from the bed.
"Goodnight Tyler."
"Goodnight, Bill.", and with that, Tyler turned the lights off and gently closed the door behind him, before he made his way back to the living room where he just sat down on the couch.

Jim surprisedly turned his head as well, at first thinking it was Rachel, but then nervously walking up to the door as it turned out to be Raven.
Opening the door and staring at his daughter for a moment, he just didn't say a word and kept staring. She was all grown-up. His little girl...
"Raven?", he mumbled, tilting his head and slightly raising an eyebrow. "I- your letter-"
((you had said Rachel would teleport home again XD and she teleported away but you forgot to 'play' her arriving back))

Mike listened to Ava talk with big eyes, sighing silently as she had finished.
"Maybe you're right... but- my mom always seemed to care more about my sister than me or my brothers. And now finding out that my brother is some sort of super ancient and strong being, it just...", he leaned his head against Ava's shoulder, playing around with the fabric of her shirt - well, his shirt - that she was wearing.
"I just feel as though I'm too much, you know? My oldest sister was a famous model, my brother is super smart and studying informatics and technology in general, meaning he'll get a super great job and be successful in life. He has a great girlfriend that my mom loves, so he's perfect. My other brother is going to study medicine and psychology in the next few weeks, he's just got engaged to his girlfriend - I saw it on his Facebook - and all in all he's probably the favorite of the family. Then my sister got her twin-babies and is going to marry her awesome boyfriend that my family loves so dearly - while I'm just here... failing after failing."

Dylan stared down at his chest and belly for a moment, frowning for a moment before he looked back at Lola.
"Okay- eh... so, I won't drown, yeah?", he asked again, taking a deep breath as he stared down at the water. "The water is quite pretty here, isn't it?", he mumbled, nodding to himself while he looked around himself. "Are there fish here?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Rachel had been sitting in the garden for a while, listening to rise and Jim talk, but quickly fell to ashes and disappeared when she saw raven approaching. Those two needed some time for two now, and while Raven would be gone to talk to Jim, Rachel had some time to get to know that Tyler.
After secretly floating over to raven's house, so she wouldn't distract or disturb raven and Jim, she gently knocked against the entrance door. There was light in the living room, and she could smell the scent of someone who definitely was a man and not raven.
"Hello? Somebody at home? Tyler?''

Raven smiled sadly, and just softly wrapped her arms around her father and pulled him into a tight hug, with surprising strength, even for a girl as tall and well-trained as her.
Resting her chin on Jim's shoulder while she cuddled her head against his, she closed her eyes dor a moment.
"Dad...", she whispered with a soft, yet sad smile.
Looking up into his eyes, her deep blue ones sparkling lovingly, she sighed.
"I know these two orphan boys ", she explained silently. "They made me understand that life is too short to be unforgiving."
((Nooo, that's the art of slow-mo teleportation XD))

Ava listened to Mike with a deep, sad frown on her face, and immediately shook her head when he basically called himself a failure.
She softly put one finger under his chin and tilted his head up, so he would look into her eyes.
"You surely aren't perfect Mike, but you're far from being a failure", she whispered softly.
"If you want to hear my opinion- you're someone who learns from his mistakes. You're far smarter than you think. You care so much about your family that you're so hurt by them seemingly caring less about you that you completely lock yourself up because you don't want to be hurt anymore."
Looking up into his eyes with a soft, sad smile, she softly stroked over his cheek with her thumb.
"You listen. You care. And despite everything you have a good heart. You want to change your ways, and that takes courage. Especially when trying to make up for a past like yours. Still you try."
She leaned forwards and kissed him softly, smiling lovingly as she looked up at Mike again.
"Don't you think there's a reason I fell in love with you? You aren't too much, honey- you just needed to find your place, and who knows, maybe it's here at AF, with the good ones... And with me."

"Exactly", Lola said nodding. "And we're at a reef, dummy. What do you think is down there?"
Smirking softly, she poked his side.
"Alright, remember everything I showed you? Use your legs, and shovel the water. Ready to try it on your own?"

 

[Wyosch]

((you forgot to reply to Misha xD))

Tyler raised an eyebrow as the doorbell rang, asking himself why Raven would ring instead of just using her keys, yet stood up to open it.
Definitely not Raven.
"Eh-", he frowned akwardly as he looked at the woman for a moment. She looked a bit like Raven. Same facial features.
"Raven's not here at the moment, I'm sorry. Should I give her a message or so?"

Jim looked deep into his daughter's eyes, a loving smile on his face as he hugged her tightly once more.
"Is it that Tyler-boy?", he asked as she mentioned two orphan boys, smiling softly. "I can see the sparkling in your eyes. I have the same sparkling when I think about your mother. You deeply care about him, don't you?"
Jim didn't sound angry, like she probably would have suspected him to be, but he sounded... normal.
"I might not be too happy about you loving a criminal, but if it's him who makes you happy... then I'm happy too."
He ran his hand through her hair, stroking some streaks behind her ear, before he looked at her again with a sad smile.
"I love you. And no matter what you think of me, or what's happened between us... you'll always be my little girl."

Mike listened to Ava with big eyes, smiling softly as she said he'd have to find his place, which maybe was at her side.
"My place is at your side.", he replied, gently kissing Ava's cheek before cuddling against her again.
"Maybe you're right.", he mumbled, playing around with her fingers. "Thank you."

Derek nodded, running his hand through his hair before he slightly bend his knees so he could start and try to swim.
"Shovel the water, use legs.", he mumbled to himself, pushing himself off a rock to give himself some speed, and started doing what Lola had just taught him.
"Hey! I'm swimming!"

 

[Scripted Away]

((Wtf i forgot I had replied at all XD I must've written that while basically still sleeping o_O))

Mac smirked softly as he carefully stroked over the tiny monkey's back.
"Well, if you compare a baby and an adult- babies always have quite big eyes, right? Same with this little one. She's still a little baby. And she's tryin to clean my hair. Monkeys make friendships that way."
He carefully tried to get the little one off his head- no chance.
With a grin, he made a quick selfie and sent it to him, writing 'got a monkey on my head and it won't come off. Weirdest message I ever wrote XD'
"Okay...i was actually looking for a spider-eating bird here... size fits though."
With Misha on his arm and the monkey on his head, he went back to Hunter, noah and Heather. "Don't ask", he laughed at Noah's completely confused expression. "Honey- we got a spider-killer here."

"Actually, I'm here for you", Rachel clarified with a soft smile as she looked up at Tyler with her head slightly tilted to the side, her eyes breaking through the dark like fires.
"She's over at ours at the moment and making up with her dad, so I figured I'd just come over and get to know you."
She smirked happily as she held out her hand to him for a handshake. "Move to meet you. I'm Rachel. Raven's mom."

"I love you too, dad", Raven whispered with a soft smile and planted a small kiss on her father's cheek.
"And you're right. I will always be your little girl."
Softly taking his hands, she looked up into his eyes, hers sparkling.
"I'm glad you accept Tyler, dad. But- I just want you to know that he had his reasons for what he did. When I arrested him, he was robbing a bank to get the money he needed to save his little brother from a gang that had kidnapped him. Billie is only 5. And Tyler did everything, worked his ass off to get the custody over Bill. He's like you, daddy- a good man, who just has been through too much."

Ava smiled softly as she gently stroked over Mike's cheek, before burying her face into his neck.
"You're welcome, Mike", she whispered happily while she watched his hands playing with hers for a moment.
"Just wait for it- next time you see your family, they will be proud of you. And who knows, maybe you will even already have a little sister then! Sam told me it should be time soon."

((You mean Dylan XD))
Lola clapped, grinning proudly.
''See? I told you it's easy!", she said with a happy smirk, swimming after Dylan, before she suddenly stretched out her arm to stop Dylan, her eyes glued to the horizon.
"There's a bomb coming", she mumbled with big eyes, pointin at a massive wave that was approachin quickly. Too quickly to swim away from it.
"Hold on to my hand and no matter what- don't let go!"

 

[Wyosch]

((ahah fail xD))

Hunter raised an eyebrow as she saw her husband with a monkey on his head.
Yes, that looked really strange.
"A monk- spider killer?", she repeated, taking a closer look at the little monkey on Macon's head.
"You do know that monkeys need quite the attention, right...?", she mumbled, looking down at Heather for a moment. "And with three young children, a dog, a cat and a bird - oh god that'll be total chaos.", she ran her hand through her hair, sighed and smiled softly.
"Alright then."

Tyler frowned for a moment. He knew Raven had aged herself from 1 up to an adult, but she hadn't told him her parents were that young. Her mother looked like... 20 something.
"Eh- hi? Tyler Harris. Nice to meet you too, ma'am.", he gently shook Rachel's hand, holding the door open for her so she could come in.
"Kinda weird to just keep standing at the door opening. Wanna come in? My little brother's sleeping so we can't talk too loudly."

Jim stared right through Raven for a moment as she told him about Tyler's reasons for his crimes.
Stealing to take care of the little brother.
He only knew that too well.
"I know you come after me when it's about trusting people, so if you trust a guy who's had a bad past, then he must be a good person.", he replied, smiling softly. "I just would like to meet him once too. I won't try to scare him off like I first wanted to, I just want to make sure he's really a good guy. Someone who won't hurt my daughter."

Mike frustratedly let out a sigh and rolled his eyes, winking at Ava to let her know it was meant as sarcasm.
"But girls are soooooo annoying!", he chuckled, ruffling Ava's hair and kissing her afterwards.
"Man, my sister will have a hard time coming home with a guy, hah!"

((whoooopsie xD))
Dylan stared at the wave with big eyes, quickly pushing himself in front of Lola so he'd take the first hit.
But nothing happened.
No water hitting him.
No water trying to tear his and Lola's hands apart.
Instead, they were both standing in some sort of protective dome, that made the water flow around them.
"Are you doing this?", Dylan asked Lola, staring at her with big eyes before looking around himself again.
The water just hit the dome, flowing around and above it.
What the hell.

 

[Scripted Away]

Mac furrowed his eyebrows for a moment before he pushed his hands in the pockets of his pants.
"Hunter, I'm no little child. You don't need to remind me of responsibility- something I'm fairly familiar with", he mumbled in a relatively neutral tone.
"Parrots and cats both are pretty easy animals, you know that", he explained. "Skipper spends most of the time outdoors anyway, there's not even a litter box to clean. Noah taught Boo to use the toilet or go outside amd that parrot is basically glued to our son. So the only ones needing much attention are fish and this little furball here. Keep cool. I'm a big boy. I can even tie my shoes on my own."
He winked at her, before looking at Heather. "Got everything you need for fish?"

"21", Rachel chuckled softly, while she was already sitting on the couch as if she had been there for minutes already. She hadn't even walked there. Just appeared out of nothing in typical god-style.
"And please. I'm too young for ma'am. Just Rachel."
Smiling Softly, she looked up at Tyler, wiping her fiery ginger curls out of her face.
It was kind of weird that her daughter was in love with a man who was older than her own father, but all in all their ages were all pretty fucked up.
"Raven mentioned you finally got the custody over Billie, hm? That's great."

Raven smiled softly at her father, nodding.
"Well, since mom is already there- does she really think i don't hear that as a bunny?- we could as well make a family meeting of it", she suggested, while she made a shadow person appear to look after her siblings.
"Copied you trick", she chuckled, before teleporting right into the living room.
"Okay, introduction round:
Mom, Dad- Tyler. Honey- my parents."
Although she was smiling, she was a nervous wreck on the inside right now. Oh God, hopefully they would behave and be nice to Tyler...!

Ava snorted a short, sarcastic laugh at Mike's mention of his sister coming home with a boy.
"Oh god that poor girl", she laughed, shaking her head while she turned a small wooden bowl on the table into a plate with mini Pierogi.
Her voice Quite muffled from the one in her mouth, she smirked at Mike.
"And what will your parents probably think about you coming home with a girl?''

((You stupid XD))
"You jumped in front of me_'', Lola mumbled, barely noticing the protective dome around them because she was still that stunned and touched.
"You would have risked your life for me..."
Quickly shaking her head to clear her mind, she looked around in wonder.
"No, i can't do that", she said kind of confused. "I can only breathe underwater are...are You doing this? I thought you're a human!"

 

[Wyosch]

"I wasn't talking to you about being responsible and taking care of everything. I know you're a big boy who can tie his shoes all on his own and that you don't need no reminders of that.", Hunter replied, a slight frown on her face because Macon had immediately lectured her again. She was not stupid. Why did everybody treat her as though she was?
"I was more mumbling to myself that I'd have to clean up after three toddlers, who make quite the mess, a parrot, a cat, a dog and a monkey now. No need to feel attacked.", she looked down at the floor before she just shook her head and held up some of the stuff Heather had picked out for Fish, a soft smile on her face.
"It was hard, but we have everything now."
"We have lots! Fish even already has a pink collar!", Heather explained, proudly showing the collar that she had already put around the puppy's neck. "And he has a really nice and soft little bed to sleep on!"

Tyler stared at Raven's parents with an akward smile, stretching out his hand to her father - who happily shook it.
"Jim."
"Tyler Harris."
While Jim sat down next to Rachel on the couch, Tyler smiled at Raven for a moment before he turned back to her parents.
"I've heard a lot about you. Only good things-"
"No need to lie.", Jim interrupted, winking at Raven, while he wrapped his arm around Rachel's shoulders.
"Eh- Okay eh-"
"You have a brother, don't you?"
"Yeah, Billie. Turning six in a couple of months."
"And you're a cop now?"
Tyler nodded. "Officially an officer since today."
"Congrats."
"Thank you, Sir."
"C'mon I'm not that old yet, and we're not in the military now, So, you were deployed?"
"Yes. Twice."
"Medically discharged?"
"How do you know all this stuff?"
"I know everything.", Jim replied, letting out a chuckle before he looked back at Tyler.
"Eh... yeah. Medically discharged because of my knee."
"Yet you're a cop. With knee problems?"
"It's only if I need to move a lot. Jumping, crouching, running for long distances, sprinting-"
"Isn't that what a cop does? Including eating donuts.", Jim smiled softly, staring at Tyler as if he were staring right at his soul.
"I have a gun so if some bastard tries to run I'll shoot."
"Nice."
"...okay?"
"Car?"
"Don't have one."
"And if?"
"1968 L-88 Corvette."
Jim raised an eyebrow, smirked and leaned back in the couch.
"Alright. I'll give you a chance. But don't hurt my daughter. Or I'll have to ask my friend the devil to take care of you."
"...aren't you the devil?"
"Exactly."
Tyler chuckled akwardly, nodding.
"I'll take good care of her. Don't worry."
"I'm a dad. I always worry."

Mike grabbed one pierogi too, smiling as he imagined his parents' reaction.
"I think my mom will be scared it'll just be like with my exes. Had two. First girlfriend, two days, then got bored of her and broke it off. Second boyfriend, he broke it off because of my past with HACK. But you- nah, I could never get bored of you."

"You're not doing this?", Dylan repeated, a confused frown on his face. "Am I doing this? But I'm just human- ?"
He stared around with big, fascinated eyes, obviously very confused. Like really. Very confused. Super confused. Baffled. Dazzled. Flabbergasted.
"I'm confused."

 

[Scripted Away]

Macon just subtly rolled his eyes at hunters reaction.
Since when was she offended that easily? And since when was she the only one who cleaned up in the house?!
"Eh, excuse me? You're not the only one who cleans up, c'mon."
Turning to Heather again, he smirked softly. "Suits him great!"

Raven and Rachel both grinned softly at Tyler's and Jim's conversation. They seemed to get along surprisingly good, to both's relief.
Thank you dad. You're so great to him, Raven thought to her father with a soft smile as she took a seat on the edge of the table in front of the couch.
"You two would love Billie", she mentioned lovingly. "He's a lot like Kai. Such a sweet and nice boy."

Ava smiled softly as she gently ruffled Mike's hair.
Yeah, she could understand how a pat with HACK could make somebody leave, but when it came down to her, she couldn't care less.
" isn't It quite funny how I've Been your boss at hack and now am your boss again, at the organization that fights HACK?", she chuckled softly.
Stealing a bite from Mike's pierogi, she winked at him, before she planted a small kiss on his shoulder, walking up to his chin. "Yknow... You're my first real boyfriend... And somehow... I really hope you'll be my last as well. I love you."

"Well, if it's you who's doing this, you for sure are nit human", Lola mumbled while she looked around with big eyes, still holding Dylan's hand tightly.
"What is this, some kind of energy...? "

 

[Wyosch]

Hunter ran her hand over her face, shaking her head.
"That's not what I meant- I just- I've just been really tired lately because I've had to do so much. Stress with Serpo, making sure Rico's insects aren't in our house, making sure the kids don't go near those things, the stress with my period being late, not sleeping well lately because there's so much I have to think about 'don't forget this' 'don't forget that' and I... I didn't mean to come off as rude or grumpy, honey.", she explained, leaning her head against Macon's shoulder.
"I could just really use a vacation... you know?"
In the meantime, Heather was grinning widely, while Fish was sniffing Noah's bird. Well, he tried to.
"That's what I thought too! And we got dog biscuits that look like fish!", Heather called, her eyes sparkling happily. "And I got some ribbons that I can put in his hair to make him look pretty!"

Tyler nodded at what Raven said about Billie, putting his hands on her shoulders from behind.
"He literally only just went to sleep. I could see if he's still awake so you can quickly meet him?"
"It's fine, let him sleep. We still have lots of time to meet him.", Jim replied, smiling lovingly as he looked over at Raven.
You trust him, and so do I.
Jim smiled softly at Tyler, slightly tilting his head.
"You're a small canine, aren't you?"
"I'm a fox, yeah."
"Raven's twin sister - who's still a year old - is one too. Desert fox. You?"
"Usual red fox. Your daughter loves to call me Nick Wilde."
"Who's that?"
Tyler akwardly ran his hand through his hair, looking at Raven.
"It's that fox from Zootropolis. That movie everybody talked about?"
"I really have no idea what you're talking about."

Mike smiled widely at Ava, kissing her all over her face.
"Definitely.", he mumbled, pulling her closer as he grinned.
"I love you. Like really. A lot. Super lot."
He ran his fingers through her soft hair, admiring her beautiful face for a moment. God she had soft skin. And those eyes! She was so cute when she smiled. Like damn!
"So, we can be together at work now? With everybody knowing?"

Dylan lifted his shoulders as he stared at the dome with big eyes.
"I don't know. Looks like some sort of energy, right?", he mumbled, softly touching the dome with his hand. "It feels like nothing to me.", he frowned confused, taking his hand back into the dome.
"Can you get through it too?"

Emily quickly wiped her tears away, looking at herself in the mirror to make sure her eyes weren't red anymore.
She took a deep breath, sighed silently and opened the door from the bathroom, walking back into the living room where she dropped herself down on Ash's lap.
The babies were sleeping - finally - and they had been watching TV.... when she had 'suddenly' had to go to the bathroom.
She halfway threw her phone away onto the other side of the couch, cuddling against her fiancé tightly.
"Baby?", she whispered, playing around with the fabric of his shirt, sadly closing her eyes.
"Do you think I'm a slut...?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Macon frowned sadly at what hunter told him, and just pushed her period being late aside- at least for now.
Pulling her into a gentle hug, he kissed her forehead, and softly ran his fingers through her hair.
"Honey... You know- I'm always there to listen when you have sorrows. To help you with everything that's pulling you down, because I love you. You can always talk to me about things like that. And when you need to remember doing something, just tell me, and I'll remind you. I surely won't forget."
He winked at her, smiling softly, before he gave heather a thumb up... Just that a little baby monkey was gnawing around on his thumb, apparently thinking it was edible.
"... Grape a day- keeps the monkey away", he chuckled.

"My dad is not really what you'd call a 'film buff'", Raven explained with a loving smirk at her father, winking at him.
"I'll show you the movie sometime, okay dad? We could watch it with my siblings. Bet they would love a family movie night."
Turning to Tyler with a happy smirk, she softly put her hand on one of his hands that we're resting on her shoulders.
"And I bet Billie would love Kai and Rose. They're both of about his age, and a lot like him. He might really find some friends here."

"With everybody knowing", Ava said with a happy, loving smile as she nodded at Mike's question.
Who would've thought that she once would ask Rachel to allow her and the man he loved to stay in one workplace together? She had expected to die alone, until this guy here appeared.
"I could shout it from the rooftops. A wonder has happened, I found my one and only, and finally know what it feels like to be happyyy~"
Winking at him with a smirk, she raised one eyebrow.
"Hey, if you'd like I could show you the city tomorrow. Y'know, so you already know where everything is. Supermarket, stores and so on- the important places."

Lola carefully stretched out her hand- which wasn't even close to being able to go through that dome.
"It feels like a solid stone wall to me", she said surprised. "No chance ever getting through. Excepting as a dragon or so maybe, but it feels really solid and firm for me."

Ash looked at Emily with big eyes, slightly startled.
Guessing from the face she had made when going to the bathroom, and from how she had almost thrown her phone away, something was clearly wrong.
Sure, the press had made quite a story of him being a father- "from Lakers star to teenage-daddy"- but he hadn't minded that some people might attack Emily as well. But it would make sense.
Softly tultig her chin up, he looked deep into her eyes.
"Honey- to me you are the most beautiful girl on this entire planet. In the entire universe, with an incredibly strong will and brave heart. You're amazing, and perfect to me. And no matter what the people are writing on Facebook.... And twitter... And tumblr.... And instragam... Aaaaaand even pinterest... - I wouldn't want to change a thing. I love you, and I love our babies. And everyone who thinks they have a right to write about our private life, are just a great big bag of dicks."

 

[Wyosch]

"I know I can, but you were so busy yourself and I didn't want to burden you.", Hunter explained, sighing silently as she cuddled against Macon.
"That little one is really cute.", she mumbled, gently stroking over his little head with her finger.

"I really hope so. Billie is quite shy and never really made friends easily.", Tyler explained, smiling softly at her.
"So, is your brother an anom like you too?", Jim asked, Tyler nodding.
"Yep. He can shift into a black fox. It's really cute!"
Jim silenced, looking at Tyler with big eyes before he looked at Rachel with his 'I need some fresh air'-expression and got up.
"Excuse me-", he mumbled, quickly teleporting away from Raven's home and onto the meadow.
"Did I say something wrong?", Tyler asked, looking at Rachel and Raven with big eyes.

Mike sighed happily, nodding at Ava's suggestion.
"That'd be great! I bet the city is really nice, just like the people here.", he smiled widely, hugging Ava again.
"You know, you're really cute. Like damn."

Dylan blinked a couple of times, shaking his head.
"I'm really confused. What is this? How do I get it away?", he mumbled, looking at Lola with pleading eyes.
"And why did it only appear now? Shouldn't I have known it earlier then?"

Emily sighed silently, shaking her head.
"I really don't care what all those people write about us. Okay maybe a bit but it doesn't bother me that much.", she mumbled, taking a deep breath as she held in her tears once more.
"It's... my best friend, Amy... she just wrote me that I'm a huge slut and don't deserve a happy life because the only thing I do is fuck...", by now tears had gathered in her eyes again, and she just hid her face into Ash's chest. "What did I ever do to her to make her react like that to me?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Macon just smiled softly, stroking over hunter's back calmingly.
"Honey. Burden me. Burden me with everything that's burdening you. Your sorrows are mine as well, because they make my one and only feel bad. And together we can solve every problem. Okay?"
He softly kissed her forehead, before he watched hunter stroking over the little monkey's head for a moment.
Leaning a bit closer, so the kids wouldn't hear them, he mumbled to her ear "eh... About your late period; is it there by now, or-?"

Raven sighed sadly as she and her mother looked at each other for a moment in silence, until Rachel nodded sadly.
Raven softly pulled Tyler down on the table beside her, stroking over his hand.
"My dad didn't only have one little brother- my uncle Macon. He had another younger brother, Jack. My brother is named after him. Dad loved him endlessly... My grandpa James had been overtaken by his demon, and that monster made him do horrible things to his family. Dad always jumped in front of uncle Jack, did everything for him... But he was killed by grandpa's demon when he was only about six. Dad tried to save him, but... He was one second too late...
Uncle Jack... He could shift into a black fox."
Meanwhile, Rachel frowned sadly, trying to reach her husband.
Honey? Do you need some alone time? Or do you need a shoulder to lean on?

Ava grinned softly as she ran her fingers through mikes hair once, before getting up from the couch just to sit down on its back.
"Wait until you've seen my shift!", she chuckled, before she turned into a breathtakingly beautiful owl.
Her deep black eyes sparkling softly, she stretched her wings for a moment, before she looked at mike again.
"Would you like to go for a flight? I can turn you into a bird so we can fly together, and turn you back when you don't wanna be a bird anymore."

Lola just lifted her shoulders as she looked at mike with an awkward smile on her face. "Don't ask me, you're the one with the fancy protection shield-dome-thingy here", she said, lookin around once more in wonder.
"And, you know, not every anon has their powers right from the start. Its like talking- some do it earlier, some later."

Ash was frowning deeply by now, torn between anger at Amy, and wanting to believe that there was a reason for her behavior.
"Do you think I should try talking to her?", he whispered softly while he just calmingly stroked over emily's back, resting his chin on her head.
"Hey, sweetie- for whatever reason, Amy is talking bullshit. You're everything but a slut. You're a wonderful mom, and a breathtakingly awesome and beautiful fiancee. And I'm proud to become the husband of such a strong, clever, and amazing girl as you."
While he had been talking, trying to cheer Emily up, a few scenes from the past played in front of his inner eye and made him suspect the worse.
He remembered the last few times he had met Amy, when she had come over to go shopping or so with emily- before the pregnancy- and she had always been kind of... Weird, towards him. Came very close. Touched his arms or back or chest when she had a halfway working reason for it...
"Has Amy talked to you about guys or so lately? ", he asked carefully.

 

[Wyosch]

"Thank you, honey.", Hunter replied, sighing as Macon asked about her period. She just shook her head, keeping on stroking the monkey's head.
"Three weeks late.", she mumbled, nervously starting to play around with her own hair now.
"I don't know what it could be."

Tyler held his breath as Raven explained why her father had stormed off like that, and frowned sadly as she had finished talking.
"Oh my god- I didn't know. I couldn't have known... is it a fresh wound?"
"Almost six years ago.", Jim mumbled as he teleported back into the living room, where he sat down on the couch next to Rachel again - grabbing her hand and slightly squeezing it.
"I'm really sorry-"
"Don't mention it. Now where were we? So when did you two have the guts to tell each other?", he asked, not wanting to talk more about his little brother. Almost six years. And still he was filled with guilt. He could've saved him...

"Damn you're so cute!", Mike awed, ruffling the owl's feathers for a moment.
"You could make me a bird? And we could fly then? And you'd just transform me back into a human afterwards?", he repeated, grinning excitedly.
"I could be a bird! That's awesome! And I could fly with you!"

Dylan stared at the dome again, thinking. How could he make this vanish?
"Shush! Go away!", he called, making some weird hand motions.
Nothing happened.
"Open Sesame? Make way? I shall pass!
...Why is nothing working?"

"Amy hasn't talked to me since I told her I was pregnant.", Emily mumbled grumpily, wiping another tear off her face.
"None of my friends have. They all either said I was a whore for getting pregnant in the first place, and they all say-", she turned away from Ash, frowning sadly as more tears rolled down her cheeks.
"They all said I 'baby-trapped' you on purpose... telling me I was so scared you'd leave me that I baby-trapped you so you wouldn't..."
She shook her head, looking up at Ash with big eyes.
"I didn't, I swear! I love you, I would've never done something like that!"

 

[Scripted Away]

Mac just took a deep breath to stay calm, and gently stroked over hunter's back.
"Well either its a baby or we have a problem... ", he mumbled silently.
He just quickly went to pay for everything, before he made a call.
"Dad? Hi, could you do me a favor and have an eye on the kids for a moment? I have an emergency here.
...thanks dad."
Turning to the kids again, he smiled softly. " okay, mommy and I have a very I'm important appointment. But grandpa James is at home, and will watch you, okay?"
Kissing all threes' foreheads, he smiled gently. "Love you all. We'll be at home as soon as we can, alright? Noah?"
While Noah teleported himself sand his siblings home, Macon turned to hunter again, and carefully helped the monkey use the pocket on his shirt as a seat.
"Okay, and you and me- we will go to a doc now and get this cleared. I'd do it myself, but I'm no gynecologist."

Raven smiled sadly as she reached out to take her dad's other hand, and gave it a gentle squeeze for a moment.
Its okay, dad. I know all possible futures that could have come back then, and in every single one, uncle Jack died. Nothing could have saved him.. Excepting a time player.
Smiling up at Tyler again, before she smirked at her father slightly awkwardly, she rubbed her arm for a moment. "Well eh- about two or three hours ago?"

"I'll take that as a yes", Ava chuckled, and, with a flick of her wing, turned Mike into a beautiful barn owl.
"Huh, looking good", she said smirking, as she flew down to stand beside mike, spreading her wings.
"Okay, to fly, don't flap up and down. Pull the edge up, push the edge down. Your wings are no paddles, they aren't stiff. And your tail feathers help you fly straight and adjust to the wind. Wanna try it? "

Lola smiled softly as she put her hand on Dylan's shoulder to make him stop.
"Because its no telepathy", she explained. "Look, there are abilities that come from the mind, and abilities that come from the heart. A protective ability like yours almost always comes from right here."
She softly put her fingers against his chest, right on his heart.
"Try to calm down, so your nervousness doesn't trigger the shield anymore."

Ash groaned silently, facepalming as Emily mentioned that Amy hadn't talked to her ever since she had told her that she was pregnant.
"Eh- not to sound narcisstic or anything... But I'm pretty sure that she's jealous. Remember when you got ready upstairs and Amy waited here in the living room and I accompanied her? She was all over me, touching me all the time, shit like that. I told her to cut it off right there, but I guess she still thought she could poach me away from you..."
As Emily spoke about baby - trapping him, he just shook his head, gently cupped her face and silenced her with a soft kiss, before he smiled his sweetest smile at her. "Do I look like I feel trapped, sweetie? I'm the happiest fiance and dad in the world. And I wouldn't want to change a thing."

 

[Wyosch]

"Wait wait what?", Hunter mumbled, blinking a couple of times.
"I'm on the pill, it couldn't be another baby. Right?"
She was breathing heavily by now, playing around with her fingers and her hair at the same time.
"What if? what if?", she kept mumbling, immediately grabbing Macon's hand and teleporting them to her gynecologist.
"Mrs. Dutch!"
A middle-aged woman raised her eyebrow at the blue-haired woman, a soft smile appearing on her face.
"Mrs. Gale, how are you?"
"In panic?!"
"Calm down. What's wrong?"
"I haven't had my period in over three weeks and what if something's wrong or-"
The woman put her hand on Hunter's shoulder, smiling warmly.
"Take deep breaths, Mrs. Gale. It'll be fine. Just wait in the waiting room for a minute or two and then you can come, ok?"
Hunter nodded, walking over to the waiting room, still holding Macon's hand, where she sat down and started playing with her hair again.
They were the only ones here right now. Good. She didn't want anyone else to see her panic right now.

Jim just sighed silently at what Raven said to him in thoughts, and smiled softly afterwards.
"Ain't that cute.", he winked, wrapping his arm around Rachel's shoulders and slightly pulling her closer.
"So, Tyler - what's it like being a cop now?"
"Eh well... it's fun, actually. I know how criminals think, and it sometimes helps us get a step closer in a case."
"That's quite helpful then."
"Yeah, it is."
"How'd you pick locks?"
"What?"
"Just answer."
"Eh... I am able to manipulate metal. As most locks are made out of metal, I just had to touch it and it was open. Why, if I may ask?"
"How someone picks a lock says a lot about someone's personality."
Tyler raised an eyebrow, now curious.
"What does it say about me then?"
"You're clever. You take the easiest and most efficient way. Good qualities for a cop."
Tyler nodded, smirking softly.
"How would you pick a lock?"
"I usually just broke down the door."
"Wait what?"
Jim just chuckled at Tyler's funny face, leaving him staring in utter confusion at him.

Mike was laughing excitedly as he stepped around a bit on his weird bird-feet, nodding at what Ava said.
"Yes, I can try. No flapping up and down - okay..."
He pushed his butt back, a concentrated frown on his face as he jumped off the couch -
and landed on the floor.
"That didn't quite work out the way I wanted it to."

Dylan nodded, taking some deep breaths to try and calm himself down. Hopefully this'd work. Else they'd be trapped in this thing forever. Without food!
He closed his eyes for a moment as he took another deep breath -
frowning as water splashed into his face.
"Hey!", he called as he opened his eyes again and saw that the dome had disappeared.
"It's gone!"

"That little bitch!", Emily growled, her mug with chocolate milk being thrown onto the floor and breaking into a dozen little pieces.
"Oh no-", she mumbled, sighing as she got up and grabbed a napkin to wipe the floor.
She couldn't help it, but still felt guilty whenever she accidentally let her siren-powers through - which usually ended up in something breaking or falling over.
She smiled softly as she got up and rolled the napkin up into a ball, throwing it into the bin that stood a couple of feet away.
"I know you say you don't feel that way...", she whispered sadly, sitting down on Ash's lap again. "But I sometimes fear you really think I did that..."

 

[Scripted Away]

Macon had a slight frown on his face as he calculated everything through for the next fifteen years.
It would be hard to cover the costs, especially the last semester had been not that easy because many of the grape plants had fallen to some god-forsaken parasite... But the new ones he had planted we're strong and healthy, and should bring good harvests, and good vines and wines again.
Everything okay.
Well, excepting the fact that they'd need a bigger house. All the rooms were occupied and sharing a room would probably not be the most ideal solution...
Well thank god he knew a couple of people who could help.
Waking up from his thoughts, he noticed how nervous hunter still was, and just gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders, watching out not to swuueze the little monkey.
"Hey, honey -whatever it is, we will get this managed, together. This dream team can deal with everything when they just stick together."

Raven laughed silently at her father's and boyfriend's conversation, before she leaned forwards to gently swat her father's shoulder with a mischievous grin.
"Okay, what does it say about me then? I'd blow up the lock with my lightnings."
Leaning back against Tyler again, she smiled peacefully for a moment, as she closed her eyes to cuddle her cheek against his chest for a moment.
Rachel had remained silent till now, but seeing how happy raven was with Tyler made her smile warmly.
Her little girl all grown up and in love.
"So, while my dear husband evaluates the results from his little psycho analysis there-", she chuckled, winking at Jim with a loving smile "-why don't you tell us a bit about yourself? Are you from around here or do I hear a very faint british cockney accent there?"

Ava laughed, not so silently, as she flew down to mike and stood closely behind him, spreading her wings.
"Here, move them like this", she explained, while she moved her wings as if she was flying right now.
"See? You don't just go up down up down, you have this slight wave motion when you pull your wings up and push them down. That makes the wind carry you higher and avoids you pushing yourself down when you flap down. Understand? "

"Awesome, well done!", Lola said with a happy smile, giving Dylan a pat on his back.
" Lola, Dylan, are you two ready to continue to Sweden soon?", Lola's dad called from the shore.
Turning to Dylan again, after she had looked at her father for a moment, Lola smiled softly. "Wanna stay a bit longer or go now? "

"Hey, I know you didn't do that", Ash said with a soft smile as he hugged Emily tightly for a moment.
He was frowning sadly for a moment, before he had an idea.
"Hey, you said all your friends turned into assholes when the pregnancy went public, right?", he asked smirking. "And I remember you once told me how much you loved a girls day sometime. Going to a cafe, shopping -? I have this friend, Raelyn. She said she'd love to get to know you when I talked about you last time I helped her out with the broken door of her wardrobe. I could watch the kids, and you two could just make yourself a nice day, if you want."

 

[Wyosch]

Hunter nodded at Macon's soothing words, closing her eyes at his calming voice.
"It'll be fine.", she mumbled, taking deep breaths until the doctor finally came to pick her up.
"It won't take long.", she said to Hunter, smiling softly at Macon before she turned around, Hunter nervously following her.
It'll be fine. I shouldn't worry. Maybe it's just hormones playing on me?

"It says about you that you're all like your dad.", Jim replied, winking, smirking softly as Rachel started talking.
Tyler nodded akwardly at what Raven's mother said, running his hand through his hair.
"Yeah, I'm from 'round Bexley in South-East London.", Tyler replied with his - for East-Londoners - typical Cockney accent.
Jim chuckled silently, immediately apologetically shaking his head.
"I'm sorry, don't mean to offend you - but that sounds so funny! Especially to a Texan."
"Now I know why there's that small accent when you speak. Only with a couple of words, as I've noticed.", Tyler replied, now just talking like a normal American again - if Americans could be called normal.
"It sometimes slips through. Guess you got that too?"
"Some words. I try to pay attention to it as Americans aren't too fond of the British.", Tyler smiled softly at Raven, before he turned back to her parents.
"So yeah, I'm actually British. My parents and I moved to New York when I was 15, where I then joined the military when I graduated. My parents were both cops, so I was raised with that 'do something for your country'-spirit. Eh... yeah, I was deployed twice. Afghanistan and Iraq. And in my last deployment a bomb exploded next to me and my pal, and a bomb hit my chest, and another shard cut right through my knee. Through the veins, muscle, bone - everything. I shouldn't actually even be able to walk, actually I shouldn't even be living anymore, but the doctors were able to miraculously save me and my leg and I now just can't move my knee too much. Like I said, no sprinting or running for long distances, jumping from high objects - that kind of stuff might damage my knee forever and make me limp. Eh- yeah I then was medically discharged, and ended up on the streets when my parents were killed and there was no money coming in anymore. So my brother was brought to a foster family and I tried to survive on the streets. You know the rest of the story."

Mike nodded, hastily flapping his wings in some wave-like motions - floating up a few inches above the ground before he fell down again.
"I honestly hadn't thought this to be so fucking hard! How do birds do this? How do you do this?"

"I don't mind. I like the ocean but I also can't wait for Sweden!", Dylan explained, smiling softly as he kissed Lola's cheek.
"Should we just go to Sweden? We have no risk of a wave trying to drown us there.", he winked, trying to somehow swim back to the shore - when he noticed that he could just stand here.
Akward.
"By the way - your eyes sparkle super beautifully in the sunlight."

Emily looked at Ash with a soft gaze, smiling lovingly.
"That'd be great, honey. I could really use that... haven't really gone outside of the house in a couple of months now.", she sighed happily as she cuddled against Ash's chest, running her fingers through his soft hair.
"Do you think you'll manage the babies on your own? I mean, what about the feeding?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Mac took a deep breath as he got up and followed hunter and Dr.Dutch with his heart beating faster nervously.
In the room, he just leaned against the wall with a silent sigh.
What if it wasn't a baby? What if it was some kind of disease?!
How should he raise three kids without their mother?!
How should he live without the love of his life?!
By now, his nervousness had turned into a full grown panic attack. Of course he didn't let show though.

Raven just winked at her dad, smirking softly, before she looked up at Tyler when he suddenly started talking in that typical east British slang.
A slight shiver ran down her back.
"Ohhh my god why did that just sound so hot-", she silently hummed to herself, smiling awkwardly at her father afterwards.
"Heh-ehhh.... "
At Tyler's story about what had happened in the military, she at first frowned sadly, but then softly stroked over his leg and knee, before she kissed him gently, completely forgetting that her parents were with them for a moment.
"Well I won't let anyone or anything hurt my sly fox anymore", she whispered with a loving smile, before turning to her parents again. "This guy here caught the robber the police has tried to catch for months!"
Looking at Tyler from the corner of her eye, she smirked softly. "He's the best partner I could have ever wished for. I can always trust him to have my back when things get rough."

Ava just giggled softly as she flew a dew sounds through the living room.
"Its not only the right movements. Its the feeling as well", she said with a soft smile, before she Landes in Front of Mike and softly cuddled against him, running her beak through his feathers while her deep black eyes sparkling softly.
" what did peter pan always say? 'Think a happy thought'."

Lola blushed slightly at Dylan's compliment, and just walked up to her dad with him hand in hand, their clothes changing back to what they had been before while they were walking.
"Alright! "
And Siren teleported all of them into the icy with winter cold in Sweden, right in front of their entrance door.
"One moment, just gotta find the keys", siren mumbled, while was searching through the several pockets of his thick winter coat.

"Don't worry, daddy got this", Ash said with a soft smile as he poked his nose against Emily's.
" and if I need help, I'll just call grandma. It will be fine. I'll just quickly send you her number."
With a soft smile at Emily, he took out his phone to send Emily Raelyn's phone number.
"In case you two wanna write or so."

 

[Wyosch]

After the doctor had checked everything and had quickly went over to the other room to check the results, Hunter was walking through the room again while in full panic-mode - literally half biting into her fingers.
As the door opened and the elder woman walked in again, Hunter stopped, staring at her with big eyes.
She knew that look.
"What?", Hunter mumbled, the doctor looking at her file and nodding.
"Everything seems just fine for a normal pregnancy."
"W-what?"
"You're pregnant, Mrs. Gale."
Hunter gasped, lifting her hand to her mouth, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Happy tears.
"I-I'm not sick?"
"No, sweetie. You're just in your fourth week."
Hunter jumped into Macon's arms, sobbing into his chest while she hugged him tightly.
"We're pregnant. A fourth child. A little baby. Oh my god.", she mumbled, looking up into Macon's eyes with a sorrowful gaze.
"A-are you happy? Too much? Angry?"

Jim smiled softly at Tyler and Raven, a loving smile on his face as he watched these two.
He hadn't liked the idea of his daughter having a boyfriend. He had despised it.
But honestly... it did good seeing her so happy. She was sparkling. It was beautiful.
"I always have your back. And I know you got mine, too.", Tyler replied, wrapping his arm around Raven's waist and kissing her forehead. "I love you.", he whispered with his British accent, winking.
"Hey, Tyler, if you ever need help with that knee of yours I can give you some tricks on how to make it hurt less."
"Really? Wow. Thank you."
"No problem. And if you two ever need some help with catching some bad guys or are having trouble following a lead - I still got some contacts.", he winked, smiling softly as he leaned back in the couch again where he cuddled the side of his head against Rachel's.
"I'm happy you have found someone that cares so deeply about you, Raven."

"I never liked Peter Pan.", Mike chuckled, letting out a noise that sounded a bit like the purring of a cat when Ava cuddled against him.
"Okay. Should I try again then?", he mumbled, more to himself than to her, and stretched out his wings - almost losing balance - whereas to he immediately started flapping them up and down, concentratedly closing his eyes.
"Am I in the air? Am I?"

"Better find those keys quickly or I'll freeze!", Dylan whined, his entire body shaking, and his hands and ears feeling as if they were freezing off.
"How do you stand it in a cold like this?"

"Thank you, baby.", Emily replied, smiling as her phone lit up from Ash's text message, revealing her phone wallpaper - a picture of daddy Ash with the two babies.
"I love you. Like really a lot.", she mumbled, kissing his nosetip and turning her body around, sitting on her knees with her legs next to his, her chest against his.
"Remember when we first met? You were staring at me in utter confusion because I had an entire bag with spoons with me."

 

[Scripted Away]

Although he could feel how he was starting to get dizzy, Macon managed to gently stroke through hunter's hair, smiling softly.
"Why should I be angry?", he whispered softly, pulling her into a tight hug.
"I'm ready for nine more months of 'Macon get me this', 'Macon did you already get me that?'... Hell I'm ready to teleport to Atlantis to get you fried kraken, if that's what you two are craving."
He softly kissed her forehead, his eyes sparkling. "We'll have to size up our house though. Don't worry! I already got something in mind! Will be easy peasy and look awesome! And and and-"
He didn't get any further as the relief and dizzyness just kicked him off his feet and sent him falling to the floor with a weak, overwhelmed laugh.

"Me too dad", Raven sighed happily while she cuddled against Tyler, her eyes sparkling like the night sky.
Rachel watched everyone with a soft, proud smile, and lastly gently touched Tyler's forearm with her fingers, to get his attention.
"Tyler. First- if you want Raven to meet your parents, too, and want to see them again- I could surely arrange that for you.
Second- you are a great guy, and I'm really glad that you two are so happy together. Welcome to the family."
Raven looked at her mother with wide eyes for a moment, before she jumped up and just hugged both of her parents tightly, happy tears running down her cheeks.
Finally, finally- it all came to a happy end, for everyone. "Thank you", she whispered softly. "Both of you. I love you so much."

"You're flying! ", Ava laughed happily, flying up to catch up with mike.
"Great, keep it up! C'mon, through the window, its easier higher in the sky. And everything looks absolutely beautiful at night! "

"With warm clothes", Lola replied, as she made her favorite winter coat appear on herself, and another warm winter jacket around Dylan.
"Found it!", Siren announced after a few more minutes, and unlocked the door into a super cozy living room.
"Small but nice", he chuckled, already heading to the oven to get the fire burning.
"Our room is upstairs", Lola explained as she pointed at the stone stairs with one hand. "Its a few miles to the next markets and... Well, basically everything. But there's another house nearby, where my bestir lives. Everything else us just reached with the snow mobiles. I'll show you how to use one if you want."

Ash raised one eyebrow at Emily and shook his head, smiling softly at her.
She was cute when she had no idea again how amazing she was to him, and had always been.
"I was staring at you because you we're the nicest and most beautiful girl I have ever seen- still are", he explained lovingly as he stroked through her hair.
"And then yo unturned out to also be super cool and clever and just... Generally breathtaking, and I was like 'oh damn if I was three years older I'd ask her on a date. But I'm only twelve. Crap.' Luckily that solved itself", he chuckled. His eyes we're sparkling brightly as he locked them to hers. "I wouldn't want to change a thing."

 

[Wyosch]

Hunter gasped sorrowfully as Macon dropped to the floor, but lastly just grinned at him with a loving sparkling in her eyes.
Dr. Dutch let out a chuckle before she grabbed a chair and put it down next to Macon.
"Take a seat. I'll get you two some water.", she said, leaving the room to get them something to drink.
Hunter ran her hand through her hair, not really believing what had just happened.
She was pregnant.
"Imagine the kids' reactions! Imagine if we'd have another girl, a sister for Heather?"
She giggled happily, letting out a soft squeal as she bent down and kissed Macon deeply.
"I can't believe it. A baby!"

Jim happily hugged Raven back, kissing her forehead with a happy sigh.
"I love you too, sweetie.", he mumbled, smiling lovingly. "You know what's weird? Your boyfriend is about the same age as me, yet I feel SO MUCH older. Like damn."
Tyler hadn't really participated in the conversation after Rachel had said she could make him see his parents again.
"They're dead-", he whispered brokenly after a second, Jim frowning sadly. He knew that broken look only too well. Tyler blamed himself for it.
"Hey, kid - you're just as old as I am this is still weird - but, c'mon, I wanna talk to you."
He got up, giving a reassuring nod to both Rachel and Raven to let them know he wouldn't start threatening Tyler now, and lead him out of the house onto the meadow.

Mike nodded, frowning concentratedly as he flew higher and higher - hitting his head against the ceiling - but lastly making it out of the window.
"Look at all the pretty stars!", he called happily, his eyes sparkling softly.
"The sky is almost as pretty as you."

Dylan's jaw dropped as he walked into the house, staring at Soren and Lola for a moment before back at the interior.
"This is breathtakingly beautiful. Wow.", he mumbled, smiling at Lola as he quickly played around with the ears on her coat.
"That's really cute.", he chuckled, nodding at what she told him about the house and the rest.
"Awesome! I've always wanted to drive a snow mobile!"

Emily blushed slightly, running her fingers through her hair as she smiled widely as she bent forwards and kissed him.
"You're so damn cute and romantic.", she whispered, sighing happily.
"And I love you so much. Have had since we met, and I will always love you. My baby.", she cuddled against him with another happy sigh, her eyes widening all of a sudden.
"Did I tell you yet? Jasmine shifted when you were at the wedding!"

 

[Scripted Away]

Mac just more or less crawled onto the chair, runjig his hand through his hair once.
Wow, another baby", he whispered with sparkling eyes. As he looked up at hunter, and softly stroked over her belly, a proud smile appeared on his face.
"Do you already have names in mind?", he mumbled.
A baby.
Another baby.
He'd be a dad of one more kid.
What would the kids think?
When all of a sudden Noah appeared beside him, with wide eyes, he raised one eyebrow.
"Mom, we will have another sibling?!", he asked with big eyes, smiling softly.

Raven ad Rachel just exchanged a worried look for a moment, before Rachel softly stroked over ravens cheek.
"So, are you happy, my big girl?"
Raven smiled softly, her eyes sparkling brightly again as she thought of her boyfriend. "I'm so incredibly happy mom. I feel like Tyler is chasing away all my shadows, just by being there."
"I know that, I feel the same with your dad."
"Talking about dad- what has gotten into him? I was afraid he'd try to kill Tyler, but instead he's all happy and helpful."
Rachel just smiled proudly. "I think your father has finally understood that you won't stop loving him just because you love Tyler, too. He was just scared to lose his daughter, but you made him psoe that fear, honey."
"I'm not saying it was okay what he did... I just... I understand him better now."
"Oh what happened wasn't okay. Not at all. But the past can be a mighty weapon."
"Yeah, I know... I'm just glad dad is finally working to get better, and getting along with Tyler. I... I can really see myself having a future with him-"
With a happy smirk, Rachel wrapped her arms around her daughter tightly, laughing softly. "Ahhh I'm so happy for you honey!"

Ava would have blushed if she could, but instead just playfully swatted the back of Mike's head with her wing.
"See that down there? The buldijg with the glass front and the purple and blue light? That's Kikku, my favorite sushi restaurant. And that super high building there, with the glass roof and the glass front and balcony on the top floor- that's my apartment. And over there is the airport... -"

"Well, it will be about three hours until Heidi is done with the dinner, and I still have to catch a fish or two for exactly that", siren explained smiling.
Lola smirked at her father, wiggling her eyebrows before she smiled at Dylan again.
"Heidi is our live-in housekeeper", she explained. "So, since we have a few more hours- what would you like to do? Test out the snow mobiles? Go watch the polar lights? Check out the next town? "

Ash raised his eyebrows at Emily, smiling warmly a he thought about his little daughter.
"What did she shift into then? ", he asked with a wide grin.
"A dog as well? "
