Welcome to Gaia! ::

Risa had been informed just a moment before by her oldest, Miles, that Matth was on his way. And that he was bringing Loki, Milo, Aife and Kole. Well this would be interesting! The seelie was babysitting for her friend, and had both Samantha and Reiya over. Both twins had proven to be trouble makers, but Sammi was one of the worst behaved children she'd ever met. With the exception of said toddler's mother, of course.

Sammi wasn't really that bad, actually. She was just... Full of energy. Constantly. She never seemed to need a nap, and was immune to sunburn. She liked to be in the sunlight, constantly. She didn't like indoor activities and fought with her twin more often than not. And when she fought, she shot sparks in her sister's direction.

Which usually caused a peal of thunder to resound throughout the house. Reiya was just as good at fighting as her sister was. And though they weren't fighting at the moment, (and this was only because Miles had promised they would be able to meet their cousins, and had told Sammi that she better be good because Kitty was coming,), there was an air of hostility between them.

Ellie on the other hand, had swung the door open. She was waiting patiently for her newly named Daddy, as well as the siblings she'd waited for. "Loki an Milo coming!" She said brightly, though she disliked the sound of Milo very much. She disliked Sammi too, when it came to that. But only because Sammi liked burning her.

Loki was looking towards his twin with mild amusement. So Daddy didn't like Milo better! Daddy had put Milo on a leash, just like a puppy! And Loki knew quite a lot about puppies; animals seemed to follow him whereever he went. "Daddy, we there yet?" He couldn't help it, he wanted to see Mommy. Maybe play another prank on her, too. That'd be fun. Especially if Daddy didn't catch him at it! Then he could blame it on Milo.

"See Mommy's house!" Loki cried, pointing to the neatly painted yellow house. It did have a welcoming feel to it, at least in Loki's opinion. The halfling fae liked brighter colors. "Come on, Daddy!" And because he wasn't tied down to a leash, ran down the sidewalk and towards it. "Mommy!" But instead of Risa, he bumped into Ellie.

The green skinned toddler frowned, and pushed him away. "No, Loki. Bad." She scolded him with a shake of a finger. "Mommy! Loki here! Daddy and ress coming!" She pointed out the door unnessarily, for both Risa and Miles had seen them. As had Sammi.

"Kitty!" The pigtailed toddler ran towards the group, her arms spread out wide. Once or twice she stumbled, but that didn't stop her. She was speeding headlong in the bull-like fashion her mother always got after her for. She reached them. "Kitty kitty! Hi Kitty!" Then she seemed to notice Milo, and her smile grew if that was possible. "Little Kitty!" Here was a Kitty who was just her age! Just the right size for hugs! But she wouldn't hug him just yet, not until she'd introduced herself. "I Sammi," she told Milo with a smile. "What your name, Little Kitty?"

Sammi gave Matthias a bright smile, before looking back at Milo. "Hi Milo Kitty!" she said, apparently ignoring the statement that he wasn't a kitty. Of course he was a kitty! And that's when she came to the realization. She had two Kitties now! Well counting Jaella, she had three. But two boy Kitties! Sammi took hold of Milo's hand, smiling. "Come on Milo Kitty! We go play! I show you fire!"

Ellie made her way towards Aife, not noticing that her new older sister was afraid. "Hi! What your name?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.

"Mommy!" Loki cried, looking up at Risa and tugging on the seelie's jeans. "Mommy!" He raised his arms, ready for her to pick him up. Which she did, before covering a yawn with her hand. Loki found himself being balanced on his mother's hip, and frowned slightly. How could he prank her like this?

"Nice of you to join us, Matth," Risa teased, looking up at her fiancee. "Now we'll really have a party."

Reiya was avoiding the crowd, until she noticed Aife. Then a smile that could have outshined even her sister's came into view. "Aife!" She cried, dashing over to her friend. "Hi! Wan play?"

"I got lots and lots of fire!" Sammi bragged, leading Milo into Miles' playroom. Then she closed her fist, and opened it. There was a small flame there, sitting in her palm. "See, Milo Kitty? I got lots. I never get buwned." Then she leaned forward, and giggled. "I tell Milo Kitty's Daddy if he bad, I buwn him," she confided. "I puniss bad people. You not bad, Milo Kitty. I like you. I no buwn you. No worry!"

Ellie blinked. Never in her short life had she been called ma'am. And she didn't like it. Not one bit! "I Ellie, not ma'am," she explained with a forced smile. "Aife a pwetty name. We be fwiends!" It never came to Ellie that this wasn't how one made friends.

Reiya smiled brightly, and took her friend's hand. "Ellie play wiff us," she told Aife with a slight frown, showing her displeasure at having to share her friend. "She your sister."

Risa smiled, shaking her head slightly. "Don't worry, I know how to keep them busy," she told him, handing him a brightly colored blob in a bag. "Play dough," she explained with a grin. "I don't know about Miles, he's harder. I think you'll have to handle that."

Sammi didn't seem to notice that he wasn't listening, and smiled at him. "I dun know how," she admitted with a slight frown. "I think buwn, and it come. Can Milo Kitty do stuff? Bet Milo Kitty got weal cool thing!" She paused, and looked at him. "Milo Kitty? You gots pwetty eyes."

Ellie shook her head. "No be sorry, Aife. It kay," she patted her new sister on the shoulder. "It kay. We fwiends. We sisters. Oor Daddy an my Mommy get mawwied!" She told her excitedly. "We be flower giwls!"

Risa gave her mate a charming smile. "I think he'd like to help with that," she said, looking to Miles. Her son only frowned, knowing what his mother was up to. Another bonding hour. Joy. Well, at least he could ask Matth if he could call him dad yet.

"I'd like to hang out with Kole, sure," Miles said with a smile towards the boy. "Remember me, Kole? Stupid flowers?"

Sammi giggled at his expression, before patting his shoulder. "It okay, Milo. You find your power soon," she told him with a nod. The wisest kind a toddler could give. And had she just called him Milo? That must have been a slip. She'd been attatching the 'Kitty' on to his name since she'd met him. "We be fwiends, Milo kitty?" Being Thali's daughter, Sammi was more... Scratch that. She was prone to having crushes, and Milo just happened to be her second one, if only because he looked like her first.

Ellie smiled and looked over to Reiya. "Weiya a flower giwl too!" She told Aife excitedly. "And Sammi! Sammi a flower giwl too! Miles say so!"

Reiya nodded at Aife, "We flower giwls togetter." She paused, and looked up at her Aunt. Unlike Matthias, who didn't seem to realize that Risa was planning something, Reiya could tell. "Auntie Wisa got plan," she muttered, leaning in to Aife's ear.

Miles smiled at Kole. "That's right," he paused and looked up at Matthias. "I promise I didn't teach him that. Josh did."

Miles grinned up at his future father, before looking to Kole. "You know more words than that, I know you do. Josh was bragging about teaching you how to talk," he said, patting the infant on the head. "Oh, Matth. I have a question." Miles didn't wait for permission to ask it, either. "When can I call you Dad?"

Sammi was oblivious to Milo's thought process, and offered him a warm smile. She honestly did like Milo, there was no hidden motivation in her eyes. "We play game, Milo Kitty?" she asked, tilting her head slightly. "Fwiends play games." She silently wondered if he'd like Candyland or Shoots n Ladders best.

Reiya smiled brightly at her friend, ignoring her auntie's plan by now. It was old news. "Auntie Wisa make play-doh for us!" she said with another smile. She pointed to the coffee table that was currently filled with bags of brightly colored dough.
