The Legacy Continues

Jamie continued her babbling softly, grinning at her father. But when she heard her mom talking, she turned her head to look at Ruby. Her expression made the child giggle. Seeing this, the female went to her and tickled her tummy. “No laughing at Mama, baby girl. This is serious~” Of course, Ruby’s tone was anything but. She had started to laugh along with her daughter. After a few moments, her tickle attack ceased. At the same time, she gave her fiance a surprise kiss. It lingered longer than their last one, but not for too long. After pulling away, she smiled. “Thanks! I would hope so after how much I practice.” And with that, she went to the kitchen to work on the pancakes.

The vampire gave a soft hum when it ended in a kiss, leaning upwards a bit to make it linger just a little longer. The smile reappeared as Ruby pulled away and went into the kitchen, Skyler nodding slightly. "It's definitely paid off," he agreed. He could still remember the scorched smells from when she was practicing. And when he thought about the first time they had tried to make pasta together? That got him snickering. "Yup, your momma has gotten a lot better at cooking," he murmured, half doing so to Jamie.

But what to make? Jamie was still on breast milk for the most part. So that left just her. And Sky if he wanted any. “Hmm…I guess I could make pancakes.” She mumbled to herself, nodding. Her cooking had improved a good bit. She could cook more than just sweets now. “Ya want some too, hun?” She knew anything besides blood didn’t do anything for him, but he could still taste it.

Skyler nodded slightly, bouncing his legs a bit with Jamie. "I did. Hopefully enough so that I don't fall asleep during lunch later." Ah, that wonderful vampire sleep schedule. He was never going to get used to it. "I'll keep an eye on her while you get ready." The brunette snickered lightly when he heard her stomach growl, though. "Yeah, you can't forget about yourself. That's not good."

"Now it’s breakfast time! Ya hungry?" She wasn’t referring to real food, but instead blood. She never really knew when he got hungry, so she would ask. Wouldn’t want him going out on a rampage after all. Ruby trusted her fiance not to take too much. "I don’t want ya starving or anythin’. ‘Cuz that wouldn’t end well." Someone may get seriously hurt. Or worse, killed.

While her fiance was asleep, Ruby had decided to take her daughter out to the beach. For awhile now, she and Jamie had lived with Skyler on the Destiny Islands. She really liked it here. Her daughter did as well. Soon she’d be turning one. And Ruby herself had turned seventeen a couple months back. Now they were headed back home. “That was real pretty wasn’t it, baby girl? The breeze was nice too.” The mother looked down at the baby in her arms and smiled. The reply she got was a bunch of mindless gibberish as always. She occasionally spoke a real word or two, but it was usually gibberish.

Giggling, she imitated a few of the things her daughter had said before she reached the door of her home. Entering the house, she closed the door behind her. And she found Skyler sleeping on the couch. Laughing softly, she went over to him and kissed his forehead. “Wake up, Sky~Ya’ve been asleep since I left~” And Jamie’s attempt to awake her father consisted of her lightly patting his cheek and saying ‘Dada’ a few times.
