NOTE: Takes place last night.

You’re sure you want to do this.

Yes, I am.

It’s a hundred thousand dollars, Tommy…

Tommy bit his tongue as he stalked through the Excalibur, forcing himself to focus on the thoughts of the man trailing behind him.

Exactly. Tommy sent back to Jay Kellar telepathically. And considering I have five minutes left to find these goddamn keys, you wanna get out of my head so I can win this bet fairly?

Oh, sure. Fair…pulling the location from the human’s brain. Sure, that’s sportsmanlike.

Seriously, Jay…shut up.

The keys are upstairs.

JAY!!

“Ya know, it’s only been a couple weeks, and I’m already sick of this part?” Tommy sighed, making a face as he rolled up the used diaper he’d just taken off of his daughter. And to think, the really gross stuff was yet to come…

Glancing down at the baby laying placidly before him, waiting to finish being changed, Tommy grinned…as much as he could through a grimace. He could do without diaper duty, but at least he had good company.

“You, however,” he went on, smiling down at Mayilia as he grabbed a fresh diaper, “I ain’t gonna get sick of for a real long time.”

She kicked her feet in response, surprisingly strong for such a tiny little creature. Laughing, he made quick work of cleaning her up and getting her diapered before picking her up and holding her against his shoulder again…close enough to breathe in her scent, feel the too-light weight of the little human being in his arms. Instinctively, she nestled against him, arms shifting as her head rested with total trust against his shoulder and one fist found its way to press against her mouth.

Turning his head, he pressed a gentle kiss against her temple. Her skin was so soft, filling out beautifully as she grew by leaps and bounds. It was getting harder each day to tell that she was born premature.

With a sigh, he rocked her lightly as he wandered over to the bed in their hotel room, carefully shifting her as he sat down and shifted to stretch out, settling her against his chest.

“You got any idea how long I’ve been waiting to meet you, little girl? Almost a hundred years, that’s how long.”

She just stared up at him calmly, rosebud mouth working its way open and shut as if she wanted to answer him. He just laughed, gently rubbing her back as he watched her seeming struggle for words.

“Easy, baby girl…we’re gonna have a lot to talk about in just a couple of years.” He teased gently, watching her try to smile as he flashed her one of his own. “The world’s a real big place, bigger for folks like us. I promise you, though, you’ll learn all about it. You’ll get the early start I never had, and the things I got to show you…little bunny, you’re in for a real treat.”

If he didn’t know better, he would have said the look Mayilia gave him was dubious…but as she shoved her fist in her mouth, he knew she’d be eating her words instead of her fingers soon enough.

NOTE: Takes place approximately four to five years in the future.

He sat facing her, eyes narrowed. In five years of combat, locked in battle with the forces of darkness, he’d never expected that he would face an adversary as worthy or as relentless as the one that sat before him.

The little baby behemoth with honey-colored pigtails and her mother’s hard scowl, softened by pudgy cheeks and eyes that were still darkening to match her father’s, just like her hair.

“Your energy’s fading.”

“Then let’s do this fast.”

“You could die.”

“If I die here, at least I’ll be back.”

He watched as Dog gave him that look...the one that meant he was going against his gut. Regardless of all the dogma he preached, however, Tommy knew that knowledge had at least a little to do with instinct. Dog didn’t know the things he did...he didn’t have the instincts.

“Then let the rite begin.”
