Galaxy Fam

Stepping Stones

Riley had her first full blown play date today. Night was nervous yet excited for her little girl. The kid she would be playing with was Carter Fox, the biological child of Axel and Vanessa. Carter was nothing like his parents, but the mother still felt unsure. Night settled Riley onto her hip, grabbed the stroller and walked out to the car. She'd be watching very closely.

Making it to the park, Night spotted Carter in the sandbox with someone she assumed was Vanessa's sister watching over him. Once Night got Riley into the stroller, she walked towards them. "Oh! You must be Night! I'm Phoenix, Vanessa's half sister."
The two young women shook hands, before Phoenix looked down. "And this must be Riley! Hello sweetheart!"
Riley gave a little wave before Carter skipped over. "Hi Riley! I'm Carter! I like your Bluey shirt. I like Bluey too! My favorite character is Chili!"

Yep. Complete opposite of both of his parents. Night easily figured out why his favorite was Chili. She was a cartoon mother he could idolize and learn what a real mother is supposed to be like.

Once Riley was released from her stroller, Carter helped her navigate to the sandbox. Night sat down next to Phoenix, her gray eyes looking into Phoenix's hazel ones. "I can't stand Vanessa, Along with that stupid bastard she's been fucking for years. I don't even know why I consider her a sister anymore. After what she did to Carter I can't forgive her at all."

Night sighed. " I dated that man she's with for almost 2 years. He was fucking her behind my back as I come to find out. Axel did something to my niece Cassidy when she was in his care. Legally his daughter."

Phoenix covered her mouth. She could've easily figure out what he did, but wanted to confirm her suspicions.

"Please tell me he didn't-"
"He did. Impregnated her. Vanessa knew all of this, then decided to infiltrate my family by acting in love with my younger sibling."

Phoenix felt nauseated. The  woman felt so betrayed that her own blood would be capable of falling in love with a man like that. "I'm so sorry.." were the only set of words she managed to squeak out.

Suddenly the two little children came running from the sandbox. "Excuse me, Mrs. Night? Can I push Riley on the swings?"

Night nodded. " let me help you though, okay?"she said, placing her daughter in the bucket styled swing intended for infants and toddlers. Once Riley's legs were through the leg holes, Night gave a gentle push. Riley giggled, and now it was Night and Carter pushing her together.

After a few more hours of fun, Riley became cranky. It was nap time. Carter followed suit, not because he was tired, but because he didn't want to stop playing.

The four of them decided to make it back to Night's house where Riley's teenaged brothers were playing Minecraft  while Seren slept on the couch.
Night placed Riley in her crib while Carter chose to sleep on Riley's small foldout couch.
The living room was in an entirely different scene
" eat penguin shit you dick fucker!" Shouted Hunter, who blew up Cyrus' house
" inhale my fat fucking dong you pissbaby." Replied Cyrus, who killed all of Hunter's livestock.

"boys, we have guests! One of which is a young child so you better behave and knock off the language." Hissed Night as she put Seren to bed.

"Sorry Mama!" Replied the boys in unison
"sorry about my oldest sons Phoenix. They can get too competitive in gaming."

Phoenix chuckled. "Kids these days"

Night laughed.
Once Carter and Riley were up, the two were pretty much up Night's ass.

Carter was the only good thing that came out of those two, and she was lucky he was not able to be under any of their influence despite the pain he went through when he was way younger.

For once, Night felt comfortable letting a spawn of his near any of her children

Despite the boy not being her own, the mother was not going to let that bastard near him.

Not again. Not ever
