Exton

Having images of furry babies in one's mind makes it very hard to see. Ob pauses at the foot of the stairs blinking away tears. Chloe squeals, shaking her rattle again. Her thoughts swirl in his mind.

Papapapapapapapapapapapapapa!

Ob kisses Pandora, snags a glass of juice from the table, and scoops up his daughter. She squeals again, flapping her wing folds as her fingers grasp at the air. Demifae dart down and then away, dancing to music from the jukebox.

"Chica, where did you get your pretty toy?"

She gives him a furry image of Jeb. It was his human form, but as furry as the baby images Tomas had shared. Ob laughs and thanks Jeb for the beautiful rattle.

Ob hands Chloe to Pandora, but her attention is caught by something in the back booths. Ob turns slowly, eyes narrowing as he sees the vampire has returned. There is someone with him, but that hasn't stopped him from working his enthrallment on other women before. Ob steps in the way of her gaze and she looks up as if from sleeping.

"Bruha. What is it? What is wrong?"

She shakes her head. "Nothing... nothi..." her eyes drift back to the booth.

Ob's eyes harden, the pale blue turning to ice. "Mi amor."

Stoney touches his mind. Bro? What is it about that vampyre? Nick doesn't pull stunts like that. It isn't magic. or at least not now.

Alise peaks around Stoney and the Gargoyle moves to block her view as well.

"Non, ma petite Chaton. You are mine. No looking at other men unless I say they are acceptable."

Laughter erupts, breaking the tension. Alise lays a hand on her husband's chest.

"And just how, Chiot, do you plan to back up that command? I am a woman. I will look at beautiful people... both men and women."

She winks at Raina and grins impishly at Stoney.
