The sound of her daughter crying made Kitty look up from her book. She sighed as she turned down the corner of the page she was on, then stood up, leaving the book in her chair on the porch, and descended the stairs into the back yard.

“What happened?” she asked.

“Hell if I know. Guess she was buildin’ something and I messed it up.” Logan looked up at Kitty from the sandbox, bewildered. These kids, man, they were hard to figure out.

Kitty knelt and wiped Sammy’s tears away with her hand. “Did Uncle Logan destroy your sand castle?” Sammy nodded, bottom lip stuck out so far it could have caught falling raindrops if it had been raining.

“Sorry, kid.” Logan said, reaching to pat her on the leg. Sammy saw her chance. She dug her shovel deep down in the sand, then dumped it all on Logan’s hand. Sadness forgotten, she squealed with glee.

“Bury ‘Ogun! Hand go bye-bye!” Sammy dug and dug and heaped and heaped sand on top, giggling gleefully.

Kitty laughed as Logan’s hands disappeared under a large pile of sand. “Hey, it could be worse. She dumped a whole bucket on John’s head yesterday.”

That wasn't a castle. It was a heap a' dirt. *not guilty, nope*

I don't care what it was as long as she wasn't putting it in her mouth.

Only some of it. Don't think she liked the taste.

She's so funny. Every time we put her in there she tries it again, as if somehow it's magically changed since the day before.

She got enough taste, it's prob'ly a little different each time.

Logan, it's SAND. It does not belong in my daughter's mouth!

She's a kid. She needs to explore.

Logan, there's exploring, and then there's exploring. She does not need to ingest inedibles, okay?

I dunno that she ate 'em. Spat most of 'em out again.

Well that's reassuring.

Should I be concerned about your babysitting skills?

Would I ever let anythin' happen t' her?

*sigh* I suppose not.

*She's smirking, though. She knows he'd protect her with his life.*

'S what I thought.

*smirking or not, he's a little butthurt... but only a little*

Logan... it's not a question of how much you care about her. I know you love her as if she was your own. It's just... how much experience have you really had with babies?

I don't want experience with babies. They stink. *literally, he means...*

*gasp* When has my baby ever stunk?

*Logan wasn't around for the diaper explosions! John got to help Kitty deal with those.*

*Just because Logan didn't go near the diapers, didn't mean he couldn't smell them.*

Every two, three hours?

*And babies smelled kind of weird in general - probably a result of what they ate. Not that that was a bad smell, but it wasn't one Logan loved.*

You and your stupid dog nose. She does not smell bad!

*Kitty's probably the only person who can get away with comparing him to a dog.*

She smells weird. Like... sweet, rottin' milk.

Okay, maybe that was true when she was breastfeeding, but I weaned her six months ago. Now she should only smell like sunshine and rainbows.

*Have the Kitty glare of death until you agree with her!*

Sunshine an' -...

*Dude. Mothers are delusional.*

Whatever y' say, Half-Pint.

*She nods, satisfied, since every conversation should end with her being right.*
