An itchy sort of feeling.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[Here in the garden room, Mama's taken the second-eldest out for a science lesson. Or... just to play in the dirt, because he's pretty sure that Rikka's hair is going to be full of it. He's watching the little boy carefully as he snacks on a few strawberries (his favorite!).

For the past week, though it's hard to explain, Sora's had a tiny seed of fear planted in his head. One of those unexplainable feelings that something's gone wrong. The kind that makes Ri think he's crazy. He reaches over and puts his hand over Rikka's forehead for what may be the tenth time, watching as the little boy jerks away, getting slightly annoyed. He's not sick, but why does he feel Rikka's Darkness flaring, and why is it so strong? Sora closes his eyes and feels, frustrated.]

*He thinks about it for a minute, and just leans his head on Daddy's shoulder, cuddling up.*

Lions for Kiwruh?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*His babby ♥ He snaps out of it when he sees Kira coming near making little grunting sounds and encourages her with cooing and smiles.*

That's it, little girl! Come get Mama.

Do you think Kira will like lion flowers? Or would she like a different color?

*Kira is headed towards you! then looks surprised when some grass rips off in her hand... is this something for eating? it's headed towards her mouth~*

[epic-adore.livejournal.com]

Mmmhmm, and paopaos. Yellow flo'ers for Kiwruh.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

Ah ah... is Kira a little moo cow? Nope!

*And he's picking her up and gently plucking those grass bits from her hand~*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Do you think Kira likes yellow the best? What about pink?

*Kira looks distressed to have the grass taken out of her chubby fist, and omnoms her fist while blinking up at you*

[epic-adore.livejournal.com]

No! Only yellow. Like sun!

*Does he need to get his book and show you what the sun looks like Daddy*

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*He feels another pulse of Darkness, and this one is strong enough that he stands up in alarm, like a dog smelling the air. He just listens and feels for a moment, and then casts his eyes towards Ri.*

Tell me you felt that.

*He'll pick up his baby girl now and soothe her, rooting through his handy bag for a little paopu shaped teething ring :3*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he did feel the pulse of Darkness and also sat up straighter, pressing Rikka close to his chest*

What the hell...? Is it a Heartless attack somewhere?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

... it doesn't feel that way. Doesn't it feel... familiar?

*He glances pointedly at Rikka, who is nomming his sleeve.*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*his eyes flick to Rikka then back to you*

That's impossible. I'm holding Rikka. I'd know if it was him, this close. And he's not having one of his n-i-g-h-t-m-a-r-e-s.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*Sora just looks twelve kinds of genuinely distressed, which you know is never good. Especially in uh, his condition. It's rather easy for him to get worked up, but it doesn't seem to be unwarranted this time.*

Ri, I- have this feeling that something's really wrong.

this is probably happening before Axel brought Marly to Ri?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he does look quite worried, still holding Rikka protectively close*

Let's get the kids back to our room. Then we can see if there's something wrong.

Yeah, because I wasn't honestly expecting him to comment since he was dealing with Marly and Axel.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*He will pick up Kira and his bag that he brought. He is stubborn and won't let you do it.*

Okay.

XD i sorta thought the stuff between Axel and Marly would take longer

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*you're not all roly-poly yet so he'll allow it, and stands with Rikka in his arms*

... I must be getting out of practice. I expect this time to be peaceful. Relatively speaking.

Ah

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*He may not be roly-poly, but you may need to remind him to take it easy yet. Between Rikka, Kira and now Namine, domesticity and responsibility is beginning to catch up with him. He'll be shedding his dress once you reach the room, watching Kira carefully as she crawls around on the floor.*

... there is no peace.

*He's having a slightly bitter longing for a normal life. He's long forgotten what life top-side is like, and it can be painful.*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he frowns at your words, catching you by the shoulder and drawing you into a hug after he sets Rikka down*

Don't say that. We've done pretty well so far. We make our own happiness.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*He stills and leans into your touch, putting a protective arm around the barely perceptible swell of his waist.*

... I know. It's just... hard.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

And we'll do what we always do. Kick ass, take names, and have cake.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*He smirks at that and lets it all settle in for a moment. Centering. Then he reels you in for a somewhat aggressive kiss, a glint in his blue eyes.*

To the victor the spoils.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he smiles in response*

We still don't know who we're fighting. And we better round up a babysitter.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

Sucks to be the schmoe getting their ass kicked by a pregnant woman.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*That makes him frown a bit*

... I want you to be careful.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*He nods a little.*

I'm careful.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he puts his hand over your belly*

Be twice as careful.
