We're in This Together

[Liara]

"Maybe if you took ballet." Selene joked. "I could teach you some moves."

Bella burst out laughing.

"Oh my god I would pay to see that." Bella said as she held her side picturing her dad in pink tutu. Kaitlyn had no idea what Bella was laughing at but she started giggling too. Bella scooped her up, still laughing. "Even Kaitlyn agrees."

[Clint Cross]

"Alright smart girls... " Clint chuckled. "Maybe I will learn some moves... there ARE male ballet dancers you know." he rolled his eyes. "And they don't all wear pink tutus... but if it makes you girls laugh. I may wear one. Ironically."

"i WOULD entirely pay to see that." Jon chuckled.

"Then I think Selene has a few things to teach me." Clint gave her a wink. "I'm being serious. I have no problem looking silly in front of my girls, but... it'd be an interesting challenge. I'm kind of tired of people calling me a dumb ox in the field. Lyashev calls me that in Russian and it took Selene to translate it."

[Liara]

"I hate Russian and you aren't that bad." Selene said with a roll of her eyes. "Besides you have other qualities are more then make up for it."

[Clint Cross]

"And you'll find out a few more them the longer you stick around." Clint said with a smile. "And yes I promise Bella, I'll spend a bit more time with the kids, although we'll need them to stay here for a little while longer, house is still a disaster, Kaitlyn might try to feed nails to Coulson again."

[Liara]

Kaitlyn giggled.

"Not funny." Bella said with a frown. "I don't think Coulson likes nails Kaitlyn."

Kaitlyn giggled again and stopped when she looked at Selene. She stared a little bit until Selene waved at her.

"Hi Kaitlyn." Selene said softly as she took a step closer.

Kaitlyn shook her head and reached for Clint.

"Not Momma. Want Momma."

"Well that got awkward quick." Bella said as she handed Kaitlyn to Clint. Selene just gave her an unamused look.

[Clint Cross]

"Not momma... Selene." Clint said with a slight smile. "Momma's... sister. Like Carly and Cece or JC and Jason."

[Liara]

"I think she knows Clint." Selene said with a sad smile.

"Want Momma." Kaitlyn said as she held onto Clint tightly and rested her head on his shoulder.

[Clint Cross]

"I know sweetie... I want momma too." Clint said softly and kissed her head as he stroked her hair. "But we talked about this, momma... is with her momma now. But she sent Selene to help your daddy and she makes me happy and she'll help keep us safe. We have always told you that no matter what, we would protect you and your sister and your brother. " he whispered in her ear. "She's pretty like momma and she fights like momma. She isn't momma but who could be? Just like you're not Bella and Bella isn't you."

[Liara]

"Hey bug it'll be okay." Bella said as the touched Kaitlyn's nose. "We can give her a chance right. We know she's not momma but she's going to be around for awhile plus...Rommie likes her."

"Rom Rom." Kaitlyn said popping her head up a bit.

"Yup Rom Rom. So she's gotta me kind of okay right? Otherwise Rom Rom would have made her go boom." Bella said as she made explosions with her hands.

"Boom." Kaitlyn said.

"And Coulson would have eaten her." Bella added trying to bite Kaitlyn's face.

Kaitlyn tried to bite her back giggling.

"So we give her a chance right?"

Kaitlyn nodded as she hugged Clint again and glanced at Selene.

[Clint Cross]

"I think you'll win her over." Clint said as he kissed Kailtyn on the cheek. "You're very lovable you know that?" he chuckled. "Wait until you see your new bedroom, way nicer than the old one and Coulson even has a doggy door so he doesn't have to scratch to be let in." he glanced at Selene. "100 pound dog goes where a 100 pound dog wants."
