"Teach Matthew the voices." I repeat Vy's words to her daughter, because I have no idea how to read a book to a little kid. Somehow that has been reased from my memory or it simply never happened with only my pragmatic father around.

Brooklyn does her best impression of an allegator and a princess. I'm sure I sound like a complete fool when I roar like a mean biest while reading the part of the allegator but even more so when my voice becomes his and sweet as it's the princess' turn.

Her giggles reward me for making a complete fool out of myself and for some reason that makes me smile, too, no matter how stupid I feel.
"You like that?" I hold out my hand for a high five but the girl has no idea what to do with it and start playing with my fingers. "That's a high five, girl. Has noone ever taught you that? look." I take her little hand and direct it towards mine.
She understands what I want so we repeat it a few times, once this hand, once the other until we're both so riled up that she jumps onto my lap to clap bot of her hands against mine.
I flinch a little because having her this close makes me tense but I let her stay where she is.
That is until she gets so excited that she throws her head back against my chest which makes me wince. "Ouch, Brooklyn, no head butting." I lift her off my lap again and grab the book to calm the excited little rascal down again but she starts bouncing up and down the room.

A heavy sigh escapes me as I get up again and grab her ball when I notice Vy in the doorway.
"Okay, how much have you seen?"
I raise the ball and threaten to throw it at her.
"You will never ever say a word to anyone, understood?" I'm referring to my princess impression.

Giggles. Now that's always a good sign, meaning at least Brooklyn is enjoying herself. The mere thought alone bringing a smirk to Vy's face, it's always nice knowing her kid's happy. Much better then having an upset one, which Matthew will certainly figure out one day. Or maybe sometime sooner as she glances over a couple of times during her catch up to clean what Brittany didn't bother to over the week. Both appear to actually be having a good time. Bursts of laughter most likely from his improvement, or attempt, at better voices. Step one, and the largest one at that, is acceptance which he seems to finally be finding.

There's the smallest spark of envy that Vy is stuck in the kitchen while all this is occurring. How she'd love to be in there just to watch and see what's going on. But it seems like this is what Matthew needed, and that might even include her being preoccupied for a moment. Give him sometime to try to figure it out, without having to feel pressured to. So she decides to also wipe down the week's worth of muck off the counters as she listens to their lesson on high-fives. Not really the way to calm a little one down, but adorable either way. And with nothing left to clean she decides to go observe, leaning against the doorless doorway with crossed arms and a coy grin silently to see how long she can go unnoticed.

Far too soon Vy's spotted once the distraction's off of his lap and running around to disperse of her energy. A shrug coming to her shoulders when she's asked how much she's seen. Does it matter? It's sort of cute. Apparently it does though as he raises the ball, ready to chuck it her way if she doesn't agree to the terms of telling no one about this. "Cause the first thing I was going to do is write up an article about this to put in the academy newspaper." Lots of sarcasm with her growing smirk. "Relax, I'll only be giving your girlfriend a progress report." She continues with the humor as her own chuckle even seeps out from this one. Hands going up for protection, in full preparation to receive the ball after her last comment.

"How's it going in here?" Vy asks while her laughter fades off. Eyes going over to the Rugrat who's still dashing around the room like lightning. She at least spots her mommy at one point and goes over to greet her as if she actually left for a bit. Wrapping her tiny arms around one of her legs as she bounces with a hug. "I see it's going to be a long night." She comments with a short sigh-laugh following.

When she mentions writing an article I simply reply. “Not if you like your hands the way they are.” As much of a joke as this is it’s also a threat. Vy knows that I’m capable of hurting her just as much as she is capable of hurting me. Good thing neither one of us has any intention to do so. On the contrary, we unite of having kids…sooner or later.

A little playing with hers is alright. I still can’t imagine having my won though.
As she raises her hands in defense I haul off and still throw the ball right at her, which bounces hard off her elbows and onto the now empty table.

Brooklyn greets her mom in a heart warming way. “I finally understand why you needed that picture of your little sister above your bed..risky move, by the way.”

I walk towards the door and chuckle at her. “Plus I finally know why you need to get your share of guys at the academy.” I wink at her. “Surprised you managed to have a kid of your own with your mother around.”
I nudge her in a friendly way as I extend my hand for Brooklyn.
“Show me what you learned, little one.”
The kid looks at my hand and remembers the high five but when she jumps I pull it away and laugh. “Gotcha.”
I grab her and lift her up for a brief moment.
“Thanks for playing with me. I’ll see you around.”
Then I turn to Vy. ‘Thanks for the delicious dinner.”

With that I walk towards the main door because it’s time to leave and meet Kyanite.

Simply out of irony Vy takes a look at her hands, even if they're both more-then obviously joking about all of this. "I think I do." She comments with a subtle laugh within her voice. Taking a short glimpse at her short nails and roughed up knuckles from years of fighting, before her eyes return back to him along with that cocky smirk. Clearly she has no interest in telling anyone about this, not to mention the fact he holds a lot more cards with the secret of Brooklyn actually being her kid. Yeah, their personal lives will be staying away from the academy on her part.

Speaking of the academy, Matthew brings up the information he's personally gathered with understanding Vy's need on having a picture of the Tyke. Warning her that it may be a risky move, though she could truly careless. They all think she's her sister, and if they want to randomly think otherwise one day, let them kick her out over it. Probably going to be the reason she quits or gets booted in the future anyways. "Oh well." She explains quite simply with a shrug. "I already have to go five days without seeing her. They can kiss my..." She stops herself with those bright blue eyes staring up at her. Luckily Matthew switches the topic to another realization he's come to from this visit.

"Hey." Vy bites back gently. "Some guys prefer sarcasm over looks." The typical personality over looks isn't given as she doesn't really hold a nice one of those either, and she knows it. But she could careless over the fact she doesn't maintain that pretty appearance or sweet charm, she's used to it. It's being strong and witty that matters to her, and somehow that alone has managed her a few bed buddies. Obviously.

The ending to the company comes to a closing as Matthew requests one last high-five from the rugrat. Moving his hand before her slow response has a chance to connect, and instead he scoops her up for a warm goodbye. That's sort of sweet. An approving smile coming to Vy's face as she witnesses the event. She even joins in with the little one's giggles when she's given a 'thank you' as well. "Any time." She replies with the same sarcasm, though with a bit of sincerity as well. Did she really just say that? Guess that's what friends do. "See you around." She sees him off with a wave before quickly getting distracted by the two year old once again.
