Sara was not getting frustrated. She just badly wanted to hear little Dani say her first word. Ava had won their bet the first time around when baby Laurel uttered a quiet mama one day while they were having breakfast. Sara was feeding Laurel while Ava was annoyingly coaxing her to say it. She rolled her eyes and spooned the baby food. Laurel opened her tiny mouth when the spoon got closer only to muster the words ma and ma dangerously close together that Ava declared herself a winner.

Sara hated losing and she was eager to not lose this time around. She had just finished bathing Dani and changed her into a white onesie with little rainbows patterned on it. They were currently lying in bed having a personal time while Ava took care of Laurel "Can you say it little girl? Can you say mommy for me?" she said enthusiastically with her baby voice she never lets anyone hear but her girls and occasionally Ava.

"Mom-my" She repeats slowly this time. Dani was as stubborn like her at following instructions. She repeated it a couple times more but the tiny baby just smiled and grunted at her, almost like she was teasing Sara. Dani was a mama's girl and she loved to be with Ava so much that it made Sara a little jealous.

Sara got her hopes up when Dani opened her mouth and cooed a little "ma " Her eyes lit up and coaxed the little girl more "that's it sweetie, that's it don't let mommy down."

Ava snorted behind her. She looked back to see Ava in a towel, her hair up and Laurel in the exact same get up on one side of Ava's hips. "Give it up babe. She will talk when she needs to. Give her time. We all know that I'm her favorite."

Sara raised a brow at her with a hurt expression in her face "well see about that" she answered. "Thank you for trying little angel" she smoothed Dani's hair and gave her head a quick kiss. She stood up to get Laurel from Ava. Her wife gave her a quick kiss and went to the closet to get dressed.

The shorter blonde had their daughter changed into a comfy dress. She combed her hair dry and tied them into a half- up- half- down do, one of the few hairstyles she could pull off. They were getting ready for a quick get together dinner with the legends in a few hours and they still have enough time to cook.

She was in charge of the chicken cacciatore and the pasta while Ava made dessert, salad and kebabs. A few hours later the legends arrived, surprisingly earlier than they anticipated. The food was still cooking and the plates weren't set out in the backyard.

The legends happily helped in setting up and looking out for the girls. Aunt Zari was already playing with Laurel and baby Dani was carried by uncle Ray who brought more toys again for the girls to play with. All was his inventions of course. He was so proud to declare that it was very safe for the 'future' legends and equally just as fun and exciting. It was surprisingly amazing how the legends behaved around the girls. Mick never touches a beer when he comes over and as much as he denies it they all were pretty sure it was for the girls.

Nate and Wally retreated to the living room floor after setting up the utensils and plates. They were surrounding the Lance spawn number two, as labeled by Zari, when clumsy Nate stepped on one of the sharp toys.

"Shit!" he hissed. He sat down at the couch and rubbed his bare feet. "I thought these were safe!"

Ava, who had super ears at the kitchen, shouted back to them "Watch the language around the kids!" She warned. And they responded a sorry in unison.

Sara just shook her head and continued cleaning the counters. It took them a brief time to let go of their girls and let them be handled by their aunts and uncles. The legends have proven themselves capable of taking care of them and the girls loved being around them. They are fun and exciting and they've been teaching Laurel neat tricks that may or may not be the cause of death of her parents.

Sara has never been grateful to have them around and for the girls to experience having a huge family filled with so much love. It was touching to see the group of misfits finally belonging in something that truly accepted who they really were. Deep down they were softies, they were family and family takes care of their own.

It didn't take long before the oven's timer went off. The house was then filled with the amazing aromas of the foo d. They all headed to the backyard to grill some kebabs and the barbeque the legends brought with them.

They talked and laughed at jokes and silly things they could recall. Everything felt light and happy. They enjoyed the good food and the cool breeze of the night. Sara fed Laurel and Ava held Dani in her arms as she ate. Mick, who noticed the struggle, took the little girl from her mama and they walked around the backyard.

He pointed at a couple of things and told Dani what they were. He talked to her about a couple of things 7 months old babies couldn't possibly understand. Yet it didn't stop the big guy. He crouched at the flowers and asked her about the colors. Dani had a huge smile on her face and laughed at almost everything he said. He was proud to say that she was the little girl's favorite uncle.

The legends and Ava, who was technically a member of the team, was so touched by whatever was going on. Mick returned to the table with a murderous look on his face. "What?" he asked. His voice was scary deep.

"Nothing" They all replied in chorus and went back to eating their food.

Sara who was manning the grill got close to it that she burned her hand. "Shit" she cursed. She immediately headed to the table and grabbed a napkin and ice.

"Ava, Sara said a bad language word" Ray pointed out as he covered Laurel's ears, who was now sitting on his lap. Ava shot him a daggered look which erased the grin in his face.

"You guys got to stop saying these things around the girls." Ava took little Dani from Mick and placed her in her high chair. "How's your hand?" she said as she checked on Sara. She then replied with I'm okay.

The rest of the night went on smoothly. They were quietly eating the cheesecake Ava made for dessert. Everything was silent for a second before Dani, did something she's never done before.

"shit" she mustered in the most quiet, most baby-est way possible.

Ava's head snapped at the high chair "what did she say?" everybody stilled. Nobody dared to move or speak, still in shock of what just happened.

"I think she said sit" Sara said looking at completely nothing with a scrunched up look on her face.

Mick, who just finished chewing a mouthful of the cake finally casually replied "No, I think she said..." both the Lance's, stared at him like they both could kill.

"Not another word Mick" Sara warned. Everybody tried to slowly ease back into what they were doing.

A second later after they breathed Dani said it again. Clearer this time. "Shit" She then stared at Ava and blinked slowly twice.

Horror was evident in everybody's face. Nate dropped his fork on the plate and Zari and Wally snorted. Ray covered his ears this time while Laurel giggled. Mick was filled with happiness and pride.

"Time to go to bed." Ava picked Dani up who laughed and gurgled before saying the curse word again. "'I'm not tolerating this. Laurel say good bye to everybody"

Laurel went around the table and kissed her aunts and uncles goodnight that still couldn't stop laughing.

"I'm not done with you" Ava pointed at everybody and took the girls upstairs. When Ava was nowhere to be found everybody laughed unable to contain it anymore.

After Sara and the legends finished cleaning up and bid their goodbyes Sara headed upstairs to check on Laurel. She was already asleep in her room so she kissed her and whispered I love you before going across the hallway to Dani's nursery.

Soft music was playing in the room from the crib attachment. Soft light was illuminating from it as well as Ava rocked the little girl, singing her a lullaby Dinah had taught her, the same lullaby she sang to her and Laurel.

"Hey" Sara greeted. She placed a quick kiss on their daughter's forehead just like Ava. They tucked her in and went to their bedroom. They cuddled in silence for a second before addressing what just happened.

"I can't believe our little girls first word was shit" Sara had a funny look on her face. Ava leaned her head back to the headboard and groaned.

"Please stop "Ava shook her head and let out a laugh that sounded more like a groan.

"Oh come on babe! It was hilarious" Sara kissed her wife's cheek "admit it"

"Fine" She whispered in defeat; almost embarrassed. Now that she looked back at it, it was really funny. She laughed as she recalled the memory. "At least she didn't say mommy first. So technically I won" she teased.

"Hey! She didn't say mama either! That's not fair." Sara pouted. Ava propped on elbow up and so did Sara so that they are facing each other.

"Round two?" Ava challenge with a raised brow.

"Oh you're on" Sara countered "And I'll make sure I win this time"

"Never" Ava replied as she pulled the blanket over them and hovered over Sara, kissing her passionately.

The next day during breakfast, Dani finally said Mommy and Sara rejoiced with tears in her eyes. She lifted her up and showered her with kisses as Ava watched with a smile on her face.

Little did Sara know, Dani had already said mama the day of the dinner. Ava however, kept quiet to finally witness the joy in Sara's face like Sara witnessed hers with Laurel. The taller blonde couldn't possibly be happier that she 'lost' to her wife.
