"Amy, don't touch that-! That doesn't bend that way-! Don't break it-!"
Kit groaned, smacking her forehead, as the little five year old ran around the library.
Abe chuckled, seeing the weary look on her face.
"What is it, Kit?"
"Sensei always said someday I'd have a kid as bad as I was…Why did he have to be right?"
There was a squeal of joy, and the little girl ran to the other door.
"Uncle Red!"
She giggled as Hellboy lifted her up.
She was small, even for her age, with almost pure white hair and moonlight eyes.
The red-skinned demon often said that she was sure her mother's daughter, what with her cute little cat ears and tail, and her sometimes mischievous nature.
She could crawl all over him like a little monkey, mostly unable to retract her little claws.
When she tried, he lifted her into his hands like when she'd been a baby, and threw her into the air.
She squealed when he caught her again, and she smiled and giggled before trying to hug him.
Her little arms could hardly go around his neck, but she sure tried.
"Alright, kid. Down ya go."
The little cat-girl immediately started jumping around, and Abe caught her out of thin air as she started flying towards shelves of books.
Kit plopped down onto a chair with a groan as Amy giggled, running around the whole library.
"So TIRED…"
"Yer such a baby, Kitty…"
Glaring at her friend tiredly, she blew a raspberry.
"…REAL mature…"
She pointed at him threateningly.
"Don't even get me started, boy!"
He put his hands up in a retreating gesture.
"Whoa, there! Not get enough sleep last night?"
She gave him a blank look.
"…What do you think?"
"…Sorry…stupid question…"
"NOW you're learning…It took eight years, but you're starting to learn!"
Snorting, Hellboy started tickling the twenty-five year old half-demon.
As she burst out into laughter, Amy stopped, watching the scene curiously.
Lifting a 'paw', Abe noticing the water in his tank move along with the movement, Amy jumped onto the two.
"Queen of the mountain!" She shouted cutely, sitting on Hellboy's head.
"Victory is mine!"
Kit chuckled, lifting the five year old onto her lap.
"Now, now. Victory isn't yours until you meet the tickle monster!"
Tickling the small ribs, the child tried to squirm away as laughs and giggles escaped her.
Amy squirmed out of her mothers grasp, and ran to Liz as she entered the library.
"Aunt Lizzie! She's tickling me!"
Liz smiled at the child, lifting her up.
"Is she now? And what did you do?"
Amy put on her cutest innocent face.
"…I sat on Uncle Red's head…"
Liz held back most of her laughter, but a smile still showed on her face.
"Well, you know you need to stop doing that. Soon, you'll be too big."
Amy looked curious.
"How big will I get?"
Kit smiled, standing up.
"Well, if you drink your milk and eat right, you'll be as big as me."
The five year old seemed confused.
"Could I get as big as Uncle Red?"
Hellboy chuckled, ruffling the shoulder-length white hair.
"I don't think so, kid. Yer more like yer mom."
"AWWWWWWWWW…"
"But she's learned smart-mouthing from her favorite uncle…" Kit stated, elbowing her red-skinned friend.
"HEY…"
Amy giggled, and Liz put the young girl down so she could crawl up her uncle's jacket.
"What's smart-mouthing?"
Hellboy chuckled.
"It means talking smarter than yer mom."
Kit smacked the taller demon upside the head.
"OW!"
"That's not what it means! It means talking back like a little smarty-pants."
"OH…"
Amy grinned.
"But Uncle Red isn't a smarty-pants! Uncle Abe says he has the brain of a monkey!"
Hellboy turned around to glare at their aquatic friend, but said merman was already DEEP in his tank…
Kit laughed, lifting her daughter into her arms.
"He does, but he has his own version of smart-mouthing."
"Why can't I?"
"Not until you're eighteen, sweetie."
Amy pouted.
"Awww…Okay…"
Kit smiled, cuddling her child.
'I'm just so lucky to have her…'
