Xan shifts as Pookie nuzzles his face in to have some breakfast. The alarm persists, the high pitched electronic beeping was soon too much and Xan reluctantly untangled herself from her children and turned the irritating thing off. With a yawn and light smile she looked the males over before deciding to make a trip to the bathroom while she was free.<br/>Pookie cuddled Charlie, his strong furry arms wrapping firmly around the boy as he licked his hair and ears, still asleep. Most people just saw him as Dana's big scary bodyguard, but Pookie is really just a big softy teddy bear. Not to say he doesn't have his moments.<br/>When Charlie was little, he could likely recall, that Pookie would often show up pretty badly beaten and bandaged, Xan would take care of him. This was because he used to fight in an underground circuit,  but had in recent years retired. He was now mostly deaf and spent a lot of time just lazing around beside the pool that was between the main house and here.
