*Watching my mate as she sleeps. Breathing softly, and curled up like a baby. I stroke her hair and whisper how much I love her. She's having good dreams. She smiles. The Ancient will not intrude upon her dreams this night.*

Carys Chase 

* Signing the card, I place the picture inside and leave it on Rune's pillow for him to find when he returns from the cage fights. I have so much to do that I can't stay to watch him win again. With a sigh I grab my coat and head out.*

Compound: Hiding Presents with Aric and Tegan

Aric Chase

*he wrapped up the last of Carys' presents and stuffed them into the box he was collecting them in. He needed to find somewhere to hide them now. Sis was such a snoop, it was a challenge to keep them hidden until Christmas day. An idea struck him and he pulled out his phone, shooting off a quick text toTegan. TXT: could I possibly borrow some closet space for the next few days?SND.*Perfect. She will never look there! *Collecting his box of presents, he headed down the hall*

  Tegan GenOne *Quirking a brow as he read the text message, he sent off a reply. TXT ~ Meet me in Tech lab and we'll figure something out~ Donning sweats, he headed in the direction of their arranged meeting*

  Aric Chase *He reads the reply and detours to the tech lab. At the silent swish of the lab doors opening, Tegan met his eyes.* Good evenin' Sir. I was hoping to be able to hide this box with you for a couple of days. Sis is a terrible snoop and I really want to surprise her this year. I know she won't look at your place, she is still intimidated by you.

  Tegan GenOne *He smirked, humored by the statement. Even though the kids had grown up around him and the other warriors, his presence still made them wary - If only Micah reacted the same way to him* No problem. I'll need to find somewhere Elise won't mix it up as hers

  Aric Chase No way! You have to hide her presents too? I would never have taken Aunt Elise as a snooper! *He chuckles and places the box on the table.* So, are you done with your shopping yet? I still have a few more things I wanted to pick up but I'm almost done. I procrastinated way too much this year.

  Tegan GenOne *He shook his head* There always seems to be something I'm forgetting. If you like, we can head out together and see if we can find anything of value and specialty

  Aric Chase *sliding the box toward Tegan, he nodded his head* I'd like that, maybe you can help me find something special for Mum. I got her the stuff on her list but I wanted to get her something unexpected, you know?

  Tegan GenOne *Removing his keys from the pocket of his trousers, he dangled them in front of Aric as he tucked Carys' present under his arm as they strolled out of the tech lab* No problem son, I'm happy to help

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~

  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?

  Renata Breed ~snorts~ they would object to all of going alone...but we can sweet talk them into that one ~packing up my knives~ how about we get something to eat, baby Niko is asking for some brownies, I wonder if Savie has some in the kitchen...

  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*
