7 Eastbourne Rd
Sam turned to the toddler, noticing Levi lost in his thoughts, "Cmon, Lizzie, how about we go and wreak havoc at Mrs. Whitehall’s?" she urged with a devilish smirk that the toddler found amusing, she jumped off the couch, and they walked out of Levi’s flat to Mrs. Whitehall.
Sam and Lizzie returned half an hour later; they returned, making more ss in Levi’s flat.
Lizzie looked up at Levi, her tiny arms wide open, asking him to carry her." Uncle Son!" she slurred, having difficulty saying the full Jackson. Levi looked down at the 2year old in dismay, with a sigh, he pulled her up to eye level with no problem. She was light, and from his observation, she’ll grow up tall like her father." Why do you say, Son? It’s Levi." He states while the toddler played with his necktie.
Lizzie looked at his face, a silly smile playing on her lips. "Samson!" she cheered, earning a scowl from Levi, while Sam seed quite amused on the sofa. He placed the toddler down on the floor and gave Sam an apathetic expression. "The things the Evans’s teach their child is disappointing", he claid, turning back and heading to his kitchen Lab.
It was an hour later when Mrs Whitehall invited them to have dinner in her place, and after dinner at Mrs. Whitehall’s, Sam helped wash the dishes with the Landlady. While Levi took the child back to his place and watched after her while she tottered around poking and prying on his belongings.
After helping the Landlady with the dishes, Sam made her way back upstairs, only to find Levi playing ’the floor is lava’ with the two-year-old, They were both standing on top of their chosen furniture.
"La-vaa!" Lizzie squeaked pointing at the floor under the redhead’s feet. Sam giggled joining the ga by getting on top of the closest chair.
After a bath, they struggled on getting her to sleep in ti, Levi surprisingly helped by playing a soothing lullaby tune with his laptop, rocking the toddler to sleep in his bed. Levi continued to play the music as he sat on the sofa shuffling cards. He turned when he heard the redhead quietly tiptoe out of the bedroom, closing the door but leaving it slightly ajar.
Sam expelled a sigh of relief, exhausted, and she flopped down beside the blond. "When Lisa warned Lizzie was like an energized bunny, I didn’t believe her. But based on experience, I think she was putting it lightly, Lizzie’s more like an energized bunny on crack," she said, leaning back to stretch.
"Still want kids?" Levi asked, finding her amusing.
Sam sighed, thinking his question over after the experience. "Not twins that’s for sure. I can’t handle two of those at the sa ti. And I hate to be outnumbered." she said, looking at him at her left. Levi raised a curious brow, "How many?" he asked. He imagined Sam as a mother, and he reckons she’ll be overprotective, maybe even resembling a bear with her cubs. Ready to kill.
"2." She answered after a thought. She made her way towards the kitchen to put the kettle on, craving for so tea.
"Being an only child is hard", she added as she walked back to the living room. Levi shot her an incredulous look, "You have a brother." Levi reminded her. The redhead shrugged, "We didn’t exactly grow up together. I was alone. I don’t want my kids feeling alone." She confessed, closing her eyes for a bit just to catch her breath.
"You were surprisingly patient with her", Levi comnted around 10 PM, with the two of them in the living room playing poker and drinking tea. "I have a niece." Sam said, "She’s 7 and has blo--" she added. "Blonde hair." Levi interrupted.
"How’d you know?" Sam asked, wondering what scientific approach did he do to be able to make such a confident statent.
Levi arranged the cards in his hands, "Ivan dropped by for a visit during Czar Murdoch’s verdict." he inford casually, oblivious of the shocked reaction on Sam’s face as his eyes remained on his cards. "He went here? What did he want? Did he threaten you?!" She asked, concerned suddenly, thinking of having a ’talk’ with her brother.
Levi finally tore his eyes off his cards and looked at Sam. "Threaten is a strong word, but yes", Levi said with a shrug. She was going to talk with Ivan, Sam thought. She raised her brow at him expectantly, as if saying speak up.
Levi shot her a bewildered look and shrugged, "He just dropped by to thank personally for bugging you." he said.
"And?" Sam demanded.
"We had tea", Levi said, amused at the mory. Sam sighed, annoyed at her brother’s antics. Security caras, bodyguards and spies weren’t enough. He just had to threaten even her friends. He was so paranoid. Seconds later her phone buzzed in unison to Levi’s on the table, the two in synchronized reached for their mobile phones and read the ssage. Levi scowled while Sam grinned from ear to ear.

Marco: ’How’s baby-sitting?’ Levi read this quietly.
Levi took note of Sam’s expression, "What did he say?" he asked in a scowl, pocketing his phone.
Sam smirked at him, then threw her phone towards him. He caught it quickly and read the ssage.
Received:
Marco: How are the two babies?
Sent:
Baby Liz is asleep. Baby Levi’s way past his bedti.
Levi rolled his eyes at her, "Mature." he comnted at the giggling woman on the couch, then throwing her phone back at her, which she caught with no trouble.
It was an hour later when Lisa and Marco arrived and picked up the sleeping toddler, thanking them for their help.
The two then played chess for half an hour, Levi successfully beating Sam for the first ti. "That was luck", Sam claid, faking a sore loser look. She didn’t mind him winning. She never really was a competitive type.
Sam left soon after, kissing his cheek, "think about procreation Mr. Jackson, or your bloodline will be extinct." She said in good humour, then walking down the stairs.
Levi watched her get in the car, and drive away. He lied on the couch, thinking for hours pondering on one idea.
"Babies."
