[For Lockheed] A Day at the Beach

[barsoombamf]

Dejah always enjoyed Jasoom's beaches. The heat and the sand reminded her of Barsoom, while the water took her back to her childhood days dreaming about the Time of Oceans. But being here with Lockheed and the twins made the experience that much more enjoyable.

The babies were still small, while Dejah sat on the blanket in a blue one-piece bathing suit, Dinah was edging curiously towards the edge of the blanket. Curiously she nudged her little front paw against the sand and shied back at the soft, hot feel of it. Dejah chuckled and reached out to run her fingers over Dinah's soft head.

"Was it not what you expected, little love?" she teased softly.

It's all right! I've been busy myself packing up getting ready to move anyway

Dejah cradled Dinah in one arm and reached down to tickle Martin's belly while Lockheed held their son.

"Indeed - they'll only be this young for a short time, no sense rushing them to grow up. It'll happen fast enough," she admitted.

Oh, awesome, sounds pretty busy, going far?

Both of their children were clearly happy with the amount of attention she and Lockheed were giving to them, and despite his usual more serious nature than his sister Martin had to giggle at Dejah's tickling.

"Make the most of it whilst they're young, yep. But it's good for us to give them special days like this. I know yeh and me are both sometimes busy types but it's important we have the hatchlings in mind too."

Not far, no - not yet anyway - but it's a LOT of stuff to pack lol

[barsoombamf]

Dejah smiled - always enjoying it when she could get the more serious Martin to giggle. She leaned over and kissed his snout, then the top of Dinah's head so she wouldn't feel left out.

"We're busy, yes. But we're never too busy for our children."

Makes my current paperwork sort out seem tame, hope it goes ok.

Martin might be more serious than Dinah but he was more than capable of finding his mother's attentions to make him giggle and smile, cooing and speaking in a happy babble as Dinah cooed from her own received kiss.

"Of course not, we'll always be there for them, and our friends too." Martin and Dinah were already firm favourites of their 'Aunt Kitty' and the rest of the X-Men.

Oh it's fine, just need to buckle down on it more than I have been

[barsoombamf]

Dejah sat back comfortably, pulling Dinah up and snuggling their daughter to her chest. Her blue eyes flashed between Dinah and Martin, then she smiled up to Lockheed.

"Always."

Advice we can all follow! Hope it goes ok!

[kittysdragon]

The children hugged their mother back in response, happy as ever to be her centre of attentions whilst their father watched them all admiringly.

"Yep! And maybe sometime down the road they'll have other siblings for them to look after as much as we would."

Thanks, so do I!!

[barsoombamf]

Dejah glanced up at him and smiled when he mentioned more siblings for Dinah and Martin. "It's not out of the realm of possibilities."

[kittysdragon]

The little dragon blushed slightly but grinned nonetheless. "Good, cause I like being parents together, and it'll be nice to have more than two down the way. And sharing them with you, my love."
