Demi walked around the house quietly. Sneaking around corners.

"I just can't seem to find my little Gracie," Demi hummed with a smile.

Her daughter was hiding away in the art rooms closet.

"Where is my little wolf?" the three year old could be heard giggling.

Demi abruptly teleported in front of the closet, using her magic to poke her head through the door.

Grayson squealed in delight at the sight of her mother.

Demi laughed loudly, opening the closet wide and snatching the toddler into her arms. They tumbled back as they giggled, Demi pressing kisses to her cheeks.

"Daddy's home?" Grayson asked with wide eyes, stumbling over her words.

"Not yet," Demi hummed. Her daughters brown skin was the same as her own, her brown hair did have sprouts of white in it as she got older. Her loosely curled hair was wild at the moment, kept short at her shoulders.

Grayson wore her favorite yellow onesie decorated with pink flowers, having woke up very early since Onyx was supposed to be back today after three days gone.

He'd been called with Demetri to speak to the Legion, some were concerned with his alliance with a vampire group. If you asked Demi she thought they were worried about the range of Onyx's growing power.

Shortly after Grayson's birth, the two mates decided they'd only wanted one child for now. Not only for Onyx's sanity and personal limitations but because Grayson's birth has so many complications. Onyx was scared to death to even speak of the day.

Demi stood with Grayson on her hip, teleporting down to the kitchen. Grayson giggled at the butterflies teleporting gave her tummy.

" Mama, 'nanas please," Demi nodded at the request and began cutting up a banana for the girl.

Around her, she saw Ollie hopping on the counter. Grayson made grabby hands at the creature.

They'd learned early on that Grace could see everything from the Void. They could only assume since Grayson was an extension of Demi in some ways, inheriting the gift of seeing the other dimensions.

So, when Demi was teleporting and stopping into the Void with Grayson she could also see everything that Demi saw.

It was shocking to the core for Demi, that someone else was seeing what she could see.

Through the front door, it began to open and Grayson began to gasp.

Both deflated a little as Cash and Levi stepped through.

Cash held up his hands, "Sorry to disappoint."

"Hi Luna!" Levi cheered and grinned at the baby girl.

Grayson sat in her high chair, munching on her bananas messily. Levi was quick to sit besides her, making silly faces at her.

Demi hugged Cash tightly, "I missed you!"

"I missed you!" he lifted her up. "Our parents aren't nearly as fun as we are."

"Never," Demi shook her head dramatically.

They were both distracted as Grayson snatched a fist full of Levi's hair, drawing a wince from him. Demi furrowed her brow, coming over to release his hair.

She gave a sharp, albeit gentle tug to Grayson's brown hair. The girl gasped and whined at her mother.

"You don't like it much now do you, turd?"

"Alpha says he doesn't like it when you call her poop," Levi reminded as Cash rustled through their fridge.

Suddenly Levi perked up, the mind link ringing in his ears.

"Alphas returned."

Demi gasped dramatically for her daughter, lifting her out out her chair as she squealed at the familiar title of her father.

They both bounced their way right out the door with the two men following after them dutifully.

When they came up towards the entrance, Demi set Grayson down so she could run forward. Her small feet pittering across the field as she giggled wildly.

Onyx came into view, eyes widening as he saw his little girl sprinting full speed towards him. She looked ready to tumble over at any moment, her curls were wild and her face was smeared with bananas but he still grinned.

"Little wolf," he called as he chuckled lowly. Bending and catching her just as she fell, sweeping her up.

He held her in a cradle, swooping her up to munch playfully at her stomach.

"Daddy stop being silly!"

"Am I being silly?" he gruffed as he kept walking towards his mate. Tossing Grayson over his shoulder so her hair fell over his back, he smirked at Demi who opened her arms for him.

He growled in pleasure, wrapping his free arm around her waist and tugging her up.

She wound her arms around his neck and he pressed a hard kiss to her lips, moaning in delight. He clapped a hand on her ass before parting away to greet Cash and Levi.

He lent down to kiss Demi's ear, "You look so fuckin' pretty."

The witch grinned, "Thank you gorgeous."

He tugged Grayson back down as she began patting a rhythm onto his broad back, "Did you take care of your mom little one?"

"Mama gave me 'nanas," Grayson patted her fathers cheeks with her sticky fingers.

"I can tell," Onyx hummed. He nipped at her fingers.

"Wanna watch the Princess and Frog daddy," Grayson clapped her hands.

"Yeah baby, why don't you go with Uncle Cash while I talk to mommy and get my stuff together? I missed you," he kissed her head as he passed her to Cash.

She rest her head on him as the hound walked back to the house.

"I missed you," Demi pulled him down into another kiss.

Onyx gripped her hips properly with both hands.

"Thought about you every second," her mate hummed.

"You're not allowed to leave for longer than a day ever again," she giggled with a cheeky smile.

He growled lowly in pleasure, "Yes ma'am."

She moaned quietly when he kissed her, hands groping her while tugging her impossibly closer.

"How was the brat?" he asked between kisses.

She hummed distractedly while winding her arms around his neck.

He chuckled lowly, pulling away as she chased his lips.

"Demi."

"Hm?" she pecked his jaw.

"Our child."

"Oh, oh- she was good," her sheepish grin was wide. Brushing his grown out black hair behind his ears, her smile grew softer while looking over her handsome mate.

"Asked about you every hour," she whispered. "And we watched princess and the frog four times in the past three days... so the next one is all you gorgeous."

Onyx smirked and lifted her up, their faces level as he spoke while walking back to their home. "Alright but only if I get all of your attention later tonight."

Demi rest her head on shoulder, "You were going to get that anyways."

"Now that's what I like to hear."

~

Later, Onyx sat on the couch with Grayson as Demi slept since she'd been up with her for days at this point.

They both watched Princess and The Frog on the couch.

Onyx was laid on his back in the sectional and Grayson laid on his chest, both snacking on dry cheerios.

Gray suddenly sat up, Onyx had managed to pull her curls into two pig tails. She looked down at her father who glanced away from the two frogs.

"Daddy?"

"Grayson?" he asked in the same tone.

She sat criss cross on top of his large body, high on his chest.

"Its- it's almost mamas birthday," the little girl pieced her words together after much thought.

"It is," Onyx nodded.

"Presents?"

"Yes we'll get her lots of presents. You're grandparents will come for cake too."

Grayson gasped loudly in excitement, smiling wide. "Daddy you love mama много?"

a lot?

Onyx hummed, his daughter knew english and russian equally since he'd been speaking it to her since she was an infant.

"Я люблю твою маму всем сердцем. Так же, как я делаю это с тобой."

I love your mother with my everything. Same as I do you.

Gray smiled and patted her fathers cheeks. "Princess and prince?" She asked in reference to her parents.

Onyx grinned cockily, "Alpha and Luna, little wolf. You're the princess."

He pinched her nose playfully. The girl squealed as he father continued.

"Although your mom definitely acts like a princess hm?"

Immediately after Onyx blurted- "Don't tell her I said that."

Grayson giggled with a mischievous look in her eyes.

"Chocolate milk?" she rose her brows while tilting her head.

Onyx scoffed, "When did you get smart enough to black mail hm?"

He lifted her up, tossing her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes as she squealed.

"Probably learned that from your mom too."

Grayson held onto his shoulder, so small Onyx barely had to hold her as she balanced on his broad shoulders.

He peered into the fridge, searching for the drink his daughter coerced out of him.

Soon she was sat on the counter and drinking from her sippy cup happily.

He leaned against the counter across from her with his arms crossed, watching her in amusement.

Grayson was growing to look like a perfect combination of the two of them.

With her mothers rounded face she looked like Demi, having her mothers lips and nose. Her eyes however, they were Onyx's. Not only in color, that matched his own before his curse, but in their shape.

Her mannerisms mimicked Onyx as well, those were what truly made them look similar.

Because while Grayson was an absolute peach for those she knew, strangers and distant people did not get the same treatment. He never thought he'd be happy to say his daughter was a bit of a brat to someone but he honestly saw no issue with it.

if his daughter didn't want to speak to someone... who was he to stop her?

Demi agreed with him, neither made Grayson speak to or interact with people she didn't want to. Because it would be rather hypocritical of them both.

"Ollie!" Grayson squealed as her wide eyes followed the creature that Onyx couldn't see. She laughed loudly while clapping her hands in delight.

Onyx lifted her back up, "Crazy girl."

Grayson squealed loudly at her father.

~

Two years later

Onyx snored quietly as he slept, head cushioned on Demi's chest. Both were naked underneath their duvet, bodies entangled.

Demi was knocked out as well underneath of him.

Slowly, he cracked his onyx eyes open tiredly. He grumbled lowly, before his gaze focused in on gray eyes staring back at him.

His own widened in mild alarm.

"Shit," he hissed despite himself.

Grayson gasped dramatically at his cursing.

"Daddy you're crushing mommy's boobies."

"Grace," he groaned quietly in mild annoyance.

"I threw up."

He groaned even louder.

Inhaling deeply, he knew Demi wouldn't be waking up no matter how much noise they made.

She had been properly worn out.

He snatched another throw blanket to cover wrap around his waist while covering Demi back up with their large blanket to keep her warm.

"Daddy has no pants baby," he sat on the bed while lifting the five year old up.

"Daddy you should always wear pants!" she scolded playfully.

"I know princess I guess I just forgot last night," Onyx scratched the back of his head.

"How do you feel Grayson?" he brushed her hair out of her face.

"I feel better," she mumbled. "My tummy hurt then I threw up in bed, now I feel better."

He hummed, "Lay down with mommy. I'll get you medicine."

He stood with the blanket around his waist, before he did anything he grabbed boxers and slid them on in the bathroom.

Soon enough Grayson was given pepto and Onyx's face was scrunched as he cleaned her bed.

The bedding were promptly thrown in the wash as he meandered back to his bedroom where his girls were laying.

Grayson was then squashed between her parents, Demi rolled over in her sleep to cuddle the girl while Onyx laid on her other side. The girl rest her cheek on her fathers shoulder.

"Daddy?"

Onyx hummed in response.

When she didn't say anything else, Onyx pulled back to look at her. His dark eyes trailed over her face to see if she was okay. It was still early, they wouldn't be sending Grayson to school today so they could sleep in now.

"What's the matter?"

"I uh-" she worried her lips. "I don't want to make you upset..." the young girl trailed off.

His brows furrowed, "You could never make me upset, Grace. Is it about getting sick, because that's not your fault little wolf."

Grayson shook her head, her five year old brain struggling to find the words she wanted to say.

"I wanted to ask mama, but- but other kids at school said," she sniffled. "They said it was weird that I don't look like you."

His eyes widened as the little girls eyes watered. They both spoke quietly.

"Baby," his voice croaked. The curse invades his life in every aspect, now it was invading his daughters.

"It doesn't upset me that you asked," he wiped her eyes. "I'll talk to your teacher about this."

She shook her head quickly.

"It's not up for discussion. Grayson I want you to look at me," she glanced up at him with glassy eyes.

"I'll explain it more when you're older, but I look different now because... because someone hurt me when I was a boy. My hair and eyes turned black and my skin is pale because of it," he wiped at his nose while trying to keep his voice even.

"Someone hurt you daddy?" her eyes were wide with fear. Her dad was so strong... who could hurt him?

"Yes but it's okay. Because I met your mother and she healed me and we have you. You want to know something?" he husked as emotion made his voice thick.

Grayson nodded with wide eyes.

"You do look like me in some ways, your eyes guess where you got them?"

"Y-You?" his daughter whispered.

"Mhm," he pushed her hair out of her face. "My eyes looked like that when I was little and I'm so happy you have them. I want you to listen to me, little wolf. No matter what I looked like... or what you looked like I'm always going to be your father. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks."

The girl cried softly while her chubby fingers wiped at her tears, nodding at her dad.

"Next time they bother you, hit them."

"Onyx," a new voice croaked and they both looked to see Demi awake.

She sat up a little, kissing Grayson's cheek and Onyx's as well. She pulled away to look at him closely, their eyes meeting.

They knew they'd have to have this conversation soon enough and it wouldn't be the last time they would need to.

"Baby Grace, those kids had no right to be mean to you. Daddy shouldn't have told you to hit them though," she hummed softly.

"Me and your father will talk with the kids, yeah? You can hit people that bother you when your older, not now. But for today, we'll have a fun day with no school hm?" Demi smiled at her daughter. Grayson quickly nodded while rubbing her swollen face.

"We love you so much, Grayson. Right baby?"

Onyx quickly nodded, "With everything in us- remember?"

Grayson sniffled with sheepish nods, her mother and father both kissed either cheek.

After a moment, Demi glanced down and her eyes widened.

Looking over Grayson who had closed her eyes, falling asleep quickly she saw Onyx glancing at her.

"I'm still naked!" she hissed at her mate.

He smirked smally in amusement, reaching down to the floor and snagging a shirt that'd been thrown.

Demi quickly shoved it on, before looking at her mate who stared at the ceiling.

"I love you Griffin," she whispered while reaching over Grayson.

She rubbed his chest until he turned to face her as she had done for him.

He hummed and grabbed her hand, tugging it to his mouth. He kissed her palm, "I love you more than you know."

They both stared at each other tiredly, Onyx reached and wrapping his arm around her waist. Tugging her and their daughter closer into his chest.

"We'll be okay," she assured him gently.

Now that she was closer he could kiss her temple, "We'll be okay." He repeated before the three fell back asleep.
