Ariel woke up to Melody lightly smacking her in the face she opened her eyes, "Melody I'm up!" Ariel grabbed her around the waist and Melody giggled. For a moment Melody laid on her chest and clung to her.
Ariel placed a kisses on her cheeks, "My little song!" Ariel hummed to her as Melody smiled and squealed. Ariel sat up picking up Melody and carrying her to her room to change her. Once dressed Ariel put on her robe.
She put Melody down as Melody dragged her into the kitchen. To Ariel's utter shock she was met with the sight of Killian making breakfast.
"Well someones productive this morning." She picked up Melody before she could run into anything. Ariel went over to Killian.
"Smells amazing I am so glad those cooking lessons worked." Melody giggled in her arms, "Daddy Daddy!" She yelled.
"Oh hush you just want the pancakes." Ariel bounced her laughing.

"Is that true, love?" He smirked, pouring a juice into a sippy-cup for her,"All I'm good for is pancakes?"
Melody shook her head and giggled, then eagerly took a piece of her cut up pancake in her hand once she was settled in her chair. Hook pulled out a chair for Ariel and kissed her cheek before sitting down himself.
"So Melody, what do you think about coming aboard my ship today?" He asked with a playful grin," It'll be just you and Me"

Ariel laughed as Melody shoved sticky pancakes into her face and giggled.
"I think that's a yes? So the room next to yours on the ship will that work for her? We should paint it perhaps?" Ariel turned to Melody.
"What do you think Melody Blue? Pink? Yellow or a color to match the ocean?" Melody slapped the table sending bits if pancakes everywhere. "There I think she wants the ocean." Ariel laughed before taking a bite of her own breakfast.
"I can join you guys after if you would like shall I bring lunch? You can call me if you need anything else." Ariel smiled. She was happy Melody was able to spent time with Killian she wanted them to spend more time together and not just on the weekends when Ariel sang.
Melody put her hand in her hair, "Well now she is going to need a bath now to." She looked at Killian, "I do believe its your turn."

"Alright, I think I can handle a little lass like her, it'll be fun," He winked at melody as she pushed a hand full of egg in her mouth.
"Lunch sounds great, by then we'll be ready to eat a whole whale"

Ariel laughed, "You are going to have your hands full but I don't doubt you can handle it. Okay that sounds great I will come around with lunch later." Ariel grabbed the dishes cleaning up the kitchen a bit before getting dressed.
She came out wearing jeans and a tan top not to dressed up if she would be helping Killian and Melody later on the ship. "Okay I am going to head out I will meet you at the ship later." She stopped to give Killian a kiss and then she gave Melody a quick hug.
"Okay my little song be good for Daddy and you tell him all your demands for your bed room."
Once Ariel had said her goodbyes she made her way over to Toby and Dee's home hoping they wouldn't care if she showed up. She decided to call them first if they were busy she could always see Else.

"NICHOLAS... PUT THAT DOWN." Toby scooped up his pup with one arm and plucked the lamp out of his son's small hands. "Not. A. Toy. Go outside if you want to break things, damnit." Nick, the little shit, didn't even look timid; he just smirked. Toby couldn't help but grin back and nuzzle his' eldest son's small nose. "Play outside." He added, a little more softer.
"DAMNIT!!!" Jeremiah and Gideon popped up from behind the couch, nerf guns firing on their dad. "DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT!"
"DON'T SWEAR!!!!" Toby thundered, at the twins, still holding Nick up with one arm. He finally set the squirming kid on the ground. "GO PLAY. OUTSIDE." Toby commanded. All three of the boys ran out the door, laughing high pitched and insanely as they trotted outside. Toby closed the door behind them, sighing deeply. Wolfs had stamina.... but a pup's stamina was through the f*cking roof...
He checked out the window to make sure that they three hell hounds were sticking to the yard. They were, playfully shooting at each other, pouncing, biting, howling.
Toby finally looked over to his mate, his wife, sipping on her orange juice with a bemused expression. Toby smirked and went over to Dee, nuzzling her cheek and then planting a kiss on her jawline. He rubbed her swollen belly tenderly with one hand.
"Ready for ANOTHER pup running around?" He asked, nipping his Alpha on the neck before sitting down beside her. "I think the boys are ready for another brother..." He finally resumed eating his cereal, but he kept a hand on her pregnant belly. It was still too early to tell the sex of the pup yet.

Dee smiled, "I am ready if you are though a girl might be nice." She put her hand over his for a moment.
Her life with her three boys was chaos everyday and Dee wouldn't trade it for the world, "Oh by the way Ariel is coming for a visit." She told him Dee had gotten off the phone with her as he was screaming at one of the boys. They really needed to learn lamps weren't toys oh well one step at a time.
To say they were a handful would be an understatement. Still she was content. "Ariel wants to talk to us about kids and magic or something she was vague anyway she should be here soon. If the kids don't manage to shoot her with their nerf guns it will be a miracle." Dee added before taking her cup to the sink.
She was fond of Ariel since she owed her for more or less pulling Toby's head out of his ass or that was how she liked to think of it. She was happy that Toby and her stayed friends.
The door bell rang moments later, "That must be her."

Ariel stood at the door waiting for someone to answer she felt like it had been a while since she talked with Toby or Dee they were both so busy. She could hear the kids yelling in the back yard it was amusing.
If she thought Melody was a handful she couldn't imagine three wolf children but Toby and Dee were great parents. She smiled at Tobias when he opened the door.
"Hello, I hope I'm not coming at a bad time." Ariel smiled it was good to see them both so happy.

"Nope, not at all. Come on in, Ariel." Toby gave her a grin and held the door open for her. The house was kindof a mess, but Toby had given up on trying to keep it in order. He usually had long hours at the cannery and Dee was not really the 'house wife' type. She was Alpha; she cleaned for NO ONE... or so she would always say.

"Great thanks so much, its good to see you guys again. We really should get together more." Ariel smiled as they offered her a seat at the table.
"Anyway I have a few questions about transferring magical abilities to your children in this world. Since you guys have three kids I thought you might be able to tell me more. I am wondering if I had magic in the Enchanted forest will that ability be able to affect Melody? She seems to understand more then I believe a two year old should and last night she had a nightmare that she actually could explain in some amount of detail. Well for a two year old anyway. I am wondering if you two have any experiences like that with your children or if you have even heard of this..." Ariel explained.
She was probably not going to get the answers she wanted but with all her sisters back in her world she had so few friends that were knowledgeable about magic.
"I am worried because I want her safe we are thinking about going back one day."

Toby have Dee a look. He laid his strong hand flat on the table and his mate placed hers atop of it. He squeezed gently.
"The curse has passed from us to our children." Toby supplied. "I believe that magic is passed from the parents to the offspring. So it's no wonder that a Mermaid would pass some ability on to her daughter. And since magic works different here, maybe it's emerging in some other form, as these dreams, rather then a tail."
Toby glanced outside to make sure the boys were still in the yard. "Our boys... they still don't know that they change yet. That's understandable. They are young and probably don't know how to cope with that side of themselves yet. They think they fall asleep. But they are mighty big pups. Nick is already the size of a golden retriever when he changes." Toby said, almost proudly, but his face fell. "But he's so young. He doesn't understand what is happening to him. We have to keep all three of them confined to the basement during a Wolf's Moon." He glanced at the basement door, with it's extra bolt locks and chains.
"Maybe your dad could help? Surely this isn't the first time a mermaid and a human made a kid..." Toby supplied. "Though be careful with taking Melody. The ogres are back, from what I hear. And although Snow, Else, and Thomas are trying to model things to resemble the justice system over here... it's a barbaric world. As it always was." He felt Dee's hands tighten on his. He knew she was thinking about her parents. And how the pack was always hunted... sought out for their pelts. Whether they were in wolf form or NOT.
"Just... be careful."

Ariel nodded Toby had told her much more then she expected.
"I thought as much Melody seems to be able to sense things I feel the dreams are just another form of her abilities. What I can't understand is how she can have them when I lost mine once I became human? Though I can't begin to understand why, I feared as much. I know Melody isn't the first child to be born of a mermaid and a human my sister has two kids. I would have asked her but communicating is so difficult. If we do go back and as much as I don't want to that's probably the only way I can talk to my father. We will be careful staying off the land as much as possible."
Ariel took a breath this was hard for her because she didn't really want to go back. There were so many things that could happen.
"We are starting to prepare the Jolly Rodger should we have to leave. Lucky for us this world knows how to preserve food we wont have to worry about that at least. Thank you both of you for helping me out if you ever need anything I will be more then happy to help. Though maybe not babysitting..." Ariel laughed.
"I am kidding," She smiled, "Of course I will let you both know if we do go back right now we are waiting but planning at least. I know its what Killian wants I am just not sure if its the right thing for Melody."

"Yeah, and you just leap when Killian says 'jump'..." Toby muttered. Dee swatted at him. "Sorry... I know. I'm one to talk. All the good ones go for assholes, isn't that right, Dee?" She made a face at him, but leaned in to give him a peck on the cheek.
"Oh I don't think you could handle them. Melody is a walk in the park. These three are hell hounds...." He admitted... hearing something shatter out on the porch. He rolled his eyes and got up. "I will be right back..." He stalked outside.

Ariel smiled as Toby ran off to check on the kids. She chatted with Dee for a while.
Ariel looked at the clock, "Oh I better go I am wondering if you wouldn't mind taking Melody for the afternoon tomorrow while Killian and I paint?" She asked.
"I could bring her by at 2?" Ariel smiled, Melody would probably have fun with the boys.

Dee smiled, "Are you kidding I would love to have Melody it would be really great to not be the only girl for once. Please bring her by and don't listen to Toby I do a lot of things just for him. It's compromising that makes it work Ariel. Just make sure you want to go for you and not just for him."
"I am looking forward to seeing her tomorrow." Dee got up and followed Ariel to the door.
"Toby Ariel's leaving!" She called out the back door.
