Compound: Mother Daughter Time

Mira Nicholas-Archer

*Throwing knives was a second nature. It had been so ever since Rennie taught me all those years ago. I set myself up for the perfect hit; releasing my knife into the air with the speed and trajectory that was sure to hit the target between the eyes.* God, that's beautiful. Don't you think Rennie? *I turned toward my mother and grinned*

  Renata Breed ~smiling I watch Mira throwing the knife just as I showed her all those years ago, I nod~ yes it is very beautiful Mouse, but you are still dropping your shoulder once the knife releases from your hand ~chuckling I rub my tummy as baby Niko kicks, we still have not chosen a name, shaking my head I finger the engraving on my knife before I release it at the target in front of me~ have you finished your Christmas shopping? I still need to think of something for Niko, he is so hard to shop for....

  Mira Nicholas-Archer *Nodding my head* Tell me about it, why do you think I always go with explosives? *laughing, I watch her throw her knife perfectly* I'm not done yet. Kellan always tells me that I'm all he needs. *smiling* Have you thought of a name for the baby yet?

  Renata Breed ~snorts~ Niko says the same thing but then his eyes light up when he is looking at the newest Glock or stick of C-4 ~shaking my head I move to gather up our knives for the next round~ nope, haven't yet...just calling him baby Niko in my head for now, I have thought of some names but none of them seem right, you have any suggestions?

  Mira Nicholas-Archer Hmm. I haven't really thought about it, I can see Nikowanting to name him something explosive though. *laughing, I take my next knife and throw it to the target, this time remembering not to drop my shoulder.* Nice. *spinning back toward Rennie* You sure dad isn't going to go thermonuclear with you out of your room? Seeing as you're 900 months pregnant *winking*

  Renata Breed ~throwing my head back I laugh~ I sure do feel like it sometimes Mouse, I worry that he will come out fully grown and headed to college...but then most women think that in the last few weeks...~rubbing my belly I laugh again as he kicks, I reach for Mira's hand and place it on my belly, he rolls and kicks at her hand~ he does love to hear your voice, Niko and I feel like he tolerates mine ~smiling I laugh again, I sing to him and it calms him though~

  Mira Nicholas-Archer Hi, baby brother! You're going to love it out here. *moving my hand over her belly so I can f

  Renata Breed ~chuckling~ neither can i Mouse, neither can I...maybe I will be able to sleep through the night without getting up to pee...~laughing a little harder as he gives a final kick then settles down, I pick up my knives and toss them again at the target~ I know how about we get both our guys a gag gift...something that is really for us but we say is for them....but what should it be?

  Mira Nicholas-Archer Oh yes, they'll never be able to resist going now! *evil laugh* great idea Rennie! *pulling my last knife and throwing it down to the target* Brownies sound good, I think she has some cookies down there too! Why don't you head down and I'll clean up here and meet you down there.

  Renata Breed ~smiling I move over and give her a hug, baby Niko moving again to kick against her~ are you sure? I can still help clean up, not so much with the bending but other things I can still do ~laughing at her glare~ okay...okay I'm going...~giving her another hug I grab my satchel and head to the kitchen~ see you in a few Mouse...

  Mira Nicholas-Archer *laughing* Niko would have both our asses if I let you do more work than you should! Save me a brownie! *As Rennie turns to walk out of the training center, I make my way down to the end of the range to grab all of our knives*

*I threw another shot of bourbon down, having lost count of the number. All my mind could think about was Elizabeth. The last Christmas Eve we had spent together. Her smile, her laugh, her smell. Everything assailed my senses as though she were still in front of me, in my arms. Motherfucking Breed. I would make everyone of them pay for her death.*

*Pressing play on the CD player, I was in the mood for a little jazz music for Christmas, while I wrapped the rest of the presents. Singing along to the music of Ella Fitzgerald Winter Wonderland, thinking I was alone, tapping my foot to the beat* ~I love this music~

*Turning quickly when I heard foot steps walking my way, smiling widely when my sister Corinne walked in*

  Corinne Bishop *Taking a seat opposite her friend watching with amazment as she swiftly wraps the packages.* Hi Tavia, finishing up your Christmas wrapping?

  Tavia Chase Hello Corinne, I hope that you are doing well. *Finishing up a box* Yes I am finishing them, I have been so busy with meetings, I haven't had the down time to wrap these. *Clicking the volume up on the player* Isn't this one of your favorite singers?

  Corinne Bishop *Picking up the ribbon and twirling it around her finger her head bobbing in time in time to the music* Ooo I love this song, Winter Wonderland. It brings back some nice memories. *She smiles as her thoughts go back to the first time Hunter and Nathan, built snow men*

  
  
• Tavia Chase *Reaching out placing my hand on hers* I am so happy to see Nathan happy, I must say I loved when he hugged you. Do you remember whenHunter and Nathan tried to build snow men? *laughs softly* Mira and the other children ended up teaching them how to. *Leaning forward hugging her* Thank you for bringing joy to my brother's life.

  Corinne Bishop *Laughing softly* You read my thoughts. I was thinking back to our first winter in Maine. Both my boys...*Shaking her head* I think for the first time in their lives they were afraid. They were definitly out of their element.

  Tavia Chase *laughs* It was fun watching them learn from the little ones. I am thankful we have these memories of them. *looks at her* Can you believe our children are grown? Where did the time go? *Handing her a present* This is for you, my sister and I hope you will wear it on Christmas. *humming to the next song*

  Corinne Bishop *Taking the colorful wrapped package she gisve it a gentle shake* You shouldn't have sis, but thank you. *Sighing she looks out the window* Yes we have the memories. I missed Nathan's early years but I don't plan to missed what the future hold for him. *Smiling* Who knows by this time next year I could be grandmother.

  Tavia Chase We cannot control our past, I believe everything happens for a reason, and we are the people we are today because of the past. That would be wonderful to see you as a grandmother and you were wonderful to my twins, always helping me with them. *Looking outside at the snow flakes falling as Corinne unwrapped her present* I hope you like it, I had them made for all my sisters.
  

  
  
• Corinne Bishop It's beautiful, Tavia. *Both stood and embraced* Thank you so much, I love it. And I'm sure the others will as well. *Looking up at the clock on the mantle* Oh my. It's late. I have get some laundry done.

  Tavia Chase *Hugging her back* You are very welcome. *Walking with her into the kitchen for some peppermint hot chocolate and Savannah's peppermint bark. *winking at her* It is not Christmas until you have 
  drank this and eaten that! *embracing her again* I need to get back to work, I have a web meeting to attend in about thirty minutes. I think we should do this more often Corinne, it was fun listening to music.

*She sat on the side of the bed buckling her red shoes. She didn't have to hear her mate's grumbling to know he was not happy about tonight's event, his feelings rushed through her like a tsunami. Looking up she watched as he fumbled with his bow tie. Standing, she slowly sashays over to him, He never did get the hang of tying a tie a bow tie and the gods forbid that he try his hand a neck tie, it always ended up resembling a noose. Taking the strip of cloth from him she makes short work of the task making a perfect bow. Patting his chest she looks up into his eyes and smiled* Hunter. I feel your pain but its only for a few hours and then you can put on those ugly black cargo pants and do what you do best. *Tucked safe in his arms she felt the bulge of his weapon. Looking up at him his jaw clinching she smiled and knew he heard her* Always the warrior, regardless of attire.
