[Here is a daddy. He is seated conspicuously on a sofa where he can monitor the movements of all his family members, because paranoia does that to a person. He is also reading through a well-worn copy of So Now You're Expecting a Baby!, and there is a stack on parenting magazines on the coffee table beside him. He's muttering under his breath as he reads.]

... but this doesn't say what to do if you're expecting two babies. At the same time.

[Avani peeks in the room and tilts her head.]

You okay?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[you can't really peek since he's got the door wide open for Conspicuous Monitoring Purposes, he sees you immediately]

I'm fine, Avani. How about you?

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Pretty good for the most part.

[She enters the room and sits down on the floor, leaning back against the couch.]

Just been thinking about stuff mainly.

[She reaches for one of the parenting magazines and flips it open to the section on twelve-year-olds.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Stuff like what?

[he gives you a headpat]

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Oh like...how to tell somebody I'm in love with them.

[God Ri, please don't ask who...and yes she is blushing as she says that. >_<]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE FAR TOO YOUNG FOR THAT SORT OF THING.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[Avani looks up at Ri like he's out of his mind.]

Dude, I'm nineteen.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Far too young!

[you really haven't spent time around him]

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[Siiiiiiigh. So glad she's not ever spilling that it's Rikka she's referring to or you'll never let her see him again right? XD]

/is horrible

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I recommend screaming.

[- oh wait, she just realized who spoke. And she's alone.

This is exactly why she's back to wearing her Org coat these days- if she has to portal out at a moment's notice, her Heart is safe.]

terrible horrible

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[he looks up with a narrowed glare at you]

I recommend running.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Why should I? I haven't done anything.

[Also, running away before he had a chance to threaten her would make her look like a wimp. Seriously, Failxene, you know what they say about pride...]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

You know why. Unless you're so stupid that you've forgotten.

[both of his eyes are gold, Larxene, and he's not in Dark Mode]

/edits forever

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

We went over the Red thing already. Give it a rest, would you? Sora likes me.

[she's keeping her distance anyway...]

lolz

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

I know Sora likes you. That's why you're not dead where you stand, and why I'm giving you this chance to leave while you can.

I miss gmail notifier

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[shakes her head]

No. I'm done running away. I shouldn't have to bring her everywhere just so people don't attack me. You have a problem with your own Larxene, take it up with her.

awww

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Actually, I have a problem with all Larxenes. Just... something about your face makes me want to put my fist through it.

*this family member is picking through the cupboards and pantries next door for feast ingredients*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[he will be wandering through after a bit for snacks]

Sora, you're not gonna strain yourself, are you?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*he is indeed waddling much, much slower these days as he reaches and flails for a bottle of nutmeg, muttering under his breath something about his damned short genes*

... nah.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[he reaches over your shoulder to fetch that bottle for you, and drops a kiss on the side of your neck as well]

Good. I'm sure Kira wants to help you prepare the feast, and you know I can peel every vegetable you throw at me.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

*he smiles a little, but has to sit down on his handy stool (it's padded with a big cushion and everything!) that he brought in for a moment, popping his back and re-reading his list*

I think I'm going to have her do the mashed potatoes and the bread.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Have her do sweet things, too. Apparently, she's a better baker. Or she just likes to eat lots of sweets.

[he will hover over you, looking a little worried before massaging one of your shoulders]

You know you shouldn't be on your feet too much.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

Oh well, of course. All the kids are going to help decorate cookies and cakes and... she could do pies.

*he just looks up at you where you're standing behind him*

I can't really help it. Aerith said I still have three weeks yet to go.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[shoulder massage goes here]

I know. But you know I don't like the thought of you rushing around everywhere. I could put a big comfy chair in the kitchen, and you could direct.
