“Well, lets bring them a prize, maybe bring them all some ice cream? If they haven’t already been force feed sugar… I have no idea if they know how to handle them as well as they may think they can.”

Morganna nodded “Agreed.” She said as the couple headed for the exit “We’ll stop in 10 forward and grab the ice cream and head home.” She said taking Rivar’s hand.

“I love you....” he said as he looked at her, tonight was easy and simple and he missed these times as he walked with her.

Morganna smiled “I love you too.” She said as they headed to 10 Forward for the needed ice cream. She was slightly tired but also wanted to spend time with the girls before they went to bed and she was interested to see just how much trouble Shawn and Kate found themselves in.

Entering the quarters, Calin looked around to see what trouble Shaun and Kate had gotten in with the girls.

“Pin him down in the flanking maneuver I taught you,” Kate said to Nailah as she leveled the nerf gun at Shaun. For added fun, Kate had replicated the bullets to have the suction cup tips. She licked and then the others as she loaded the gun.

“Why you licking it,” Malia said wrinkling her nose up a bit. “My mommy says you shouldn’t lick stuff and then give it to people.” Kate couldn’t help but grin at the wisdom of the little three-year-old girl beside her. In all but a few cases, this was solid advice.

“And your mommy is so right but,” Kate licked the suction cup and then pressed it to her arm, “this makes them stick better.”

“Kate. Kate I need help,” Nailah said giggling as she held on to Shaun’s leg as he moved about the room. “I got him but he is trying to get away.”

“Oh oh oh let me lick this one,” Malia happily clapped her hands and not only licked but sucked on the suction tip before handing it to Kate.

“Oh oh my,” Kate’s eyes got a bit larger seeing the excellent job the three your old did moistening up the bullet. “Yep you…keep it up,” Kate tried to be positive as she gingerly put the ammo in the nerf gun. Malia as a kid on a mission. With all the fervor of a machine gunner, she was creating a pile next to Kate for the final assault against Grecken.

“Kaayyyy tahhhhhh,” Nailah’s calls became staccato as Shaun began to tickle her sides.

Takin a deep breath and holding it, O’Neill fired the weapon aiming for the icon shot in the middle of Shuan’s forehead. Unfortunately, the sound of the pneumatic swish of the doors made her target react negating the shot.

Whizzing past Shuan the array of suction cup bullets stuck to the door frame in a put put put sound.

“Mommy,” Maliah squealed happily leaping over the cushion fort. The action collapsed the structure around Kate as the happy three-year-old sprinted like a gazelle towards her mom. “Can you go out tomorrow again,” she said jumping up on Morgana but not able to actually get past her baby belly to find a spot in her mom’s arms.

“I missed you so much,” Maliah said in happy squeals.

“Daddy,” Naliah flew off of Shaun’s leg so fast it probably affected his balance. Pushing her feathered headband back she looked up at Calin as she slammed her body into his legs. “I am Pocohantas and was trying to stop the English Overlords from taking out candy and popcorn. You wanna join the battle,” she bounced at his feet like an overactive puppy.

“Sir Ma’am,” Kate said pushing her way out of the cushions and brushing a lock of hair out of her eyes. “You um…said eleven,” she looked around almost sheepishly. The room was not trashed but it would take about ten minutes to put the blankets and cushion back into their respective spots.
