Akel had gotten the news before Pruu had. Mostly because she'd been home and her wife had been teaching the younger girls. Which wasn't uncommon. There was no place for her to do her work except in her own space since it was very dangerous. So she'd wasted no time in leaving the house to go find her partner.
Of course that entailed the alkidike stalking onto the training field with her spear in hand. "Pruu!" She called out. Given her overall stance to keep people away from her and the fact that she had a weapon it was unknown why she was there in the first place. When her eyes landed on her wife she made her way over to her.

Pruu was demonstrating proper grip on a dagger to a few youths when she heard the call. "Akel?" She stood upright sharply with concern at first. Then her gaze landed on her wife and she noticed it was less a call of panic and more like.. excitement? She excused herself from the group and headed over, meeting Akel halfway. Her belly fluttered with the hope of what had Akeldama worked up, but she kept herself calm just in case. "What is it?"

Normally Akeldama conducted herself properly but this called for a bit more of a reaction. So when she saw that Pruu was able to get away from the others she grinned. Without warning she basically jumped on her wife, wrapping her arms around her and making the other bear her full weight for a second. "They're here!" It was all she could say at the moment to explain her behavior. Akel was too busy hugging onto Pruu to say much else. Spectacle be damned too. She was happy and if everyone saw it who cared!

Pruu let out a yelp of surprise and even a little embarrassment as she was pulled up off her feet. "Akel! What-?" 'They're here!'Her eyes went wide and her breath caught in her chest. "They?!" She brought her hands up to hold either side of Akeldama's face as her own voice rose with excitement. "Did you say 'they?' Do you mean-? Is it-?"

She laughed and lifted Pruu up so she could spin her around. "Yes. You beautiful good luck charm." When Akel put her down again she put a small bit of distance between them. "Elzira gifted us two more blooms. The first two were.. a miracle. This time.. I'm not sure what to say." Perhaps they were being rewarded for waiting and having faith in their Mother Tree.

It may have been the second time around, but Pruu felt just as elated as she had with the news of their first twins. She laughed loudly as she was spun around, holding tight until she was put back down. "I don't know if anything needs to be said." She took Akel's face again and pulled her back in for overjoyed kisses. She could feel the eyes on the scene they were making, and it only fueled the giddy feeling that filled her from head to toe. "More daughters," she exclaimed briefly between kisses.

A large grin stayed in place even as she received kisses from Pruu. "Yes, more daughters." She confirmed. Akel was over the moon that they were getting two blooms again. "Looks like you'll be training warriors for a long time." It would be years before the girls were ready to join the training grounds which meant Pruu wasn't going to be retiring any time soon. Akeldama chuckled at the thought.

The explanation got calls of congratulations sent toward them, but the sisters knew well enough to give the pair their space during such a special moment. The students giggled to each other and took the time to sit and have a break while Pruu was distracted. Pruu laughed and shook her head. "Not that I had plans of stopping any time soon, but this will certainly keep me active." Speaking of which-! "Goodness, we've barely had time to prepare the house!" She looked back at her students with a contemplative frown. "We are going to end early today. Know that we will be making up for this next time." She shook her head at the excited chirps of the youths and reached to take Akel's hand. "I'm too excited to stay here. Come! We have much to do!"

She looked over at the students and smirked. "I'll keep her busy for as long as I can. Enjoy it while it lasts." With that she gave Pruu her attention. "Mhm. I do believe we need to finish up the new room." More like they needed to start on it. Akel laughed and pulled her wife close as they readied to leave the training area. "Oh, and I seriously liked the name Kyrrha." She figured she'd throw that one out there now.

Ah, the new room. "At least we know we do not need two of everything this time, and we have a few things from when the girls were young that are still in good condition. I want to make sure that ceiling is not going to leak though. That corner to the south looked a little weak." Mention of the name she had suggested caused heat to softly warm her cheeks. "You don't think it is too sentimental?" she asked, actually being a little bashful about it.

As she made a list of everything that needed to be done she chuckled. Of course her wife would notice things like that. Akel didn't mind. They'd get it done. And soon. They had blooms waiting after all. The mention of the name being sentimental caused her to soften her smile. "It was sentimental but I like it. I'm sure our daughter would too if you explained where it came from." Not to mention Pruu's sister would likely made a new pond if she heard the news.

It really was a name that sounded both elegant and strong. Plus it now had Akel's seal of approval. Perhaps she would use the name after all... She sighed and leaned over to place a small kiss to Akeldama's cheek. "Okay. Kyrrha for one. You get to pick the name for the other." She smirked and nudged Akel playfully. "Even if it is something like Akelmuu." She looked back at the training grounds briefly. Not much could tear her away from her work before it was done, but this was certainly at the top of that short list. She couldn't wait to see two more little girls of theirs out there dominating the scene! She was practically vibrating with excitement!

With the permission to pick the other name, even if it were something silly, she couldn't help but give Pruu a wicked grin. "Oh, you may regret that." She was going to flood her wife with all the ridiculous names she could possibly think of. When Pruu looked back at the training grounds she paused long enough with her. "Did you want to put them to work on doing house chores? I don't think it will help them with fighting." Although it may teach them some discipline.

Pruu growled playfully. "I said you could pick the other name, not that you will be free of any consequences should you pick something less than perfection." She had no doubts that Akel would choose a fine, fitting name, of course. "Them? By Elzira, I do not want their grubby mitts touching our things in our house." Though she spoke sharply, it all ended with a laugh. "Perhaps I should give them an assignment in their own homes. While I trust they would try their best, I would much prefer to keep their training out of our house."

"Mhm, not sure how scary those consequences can be when my wife isn't all that terrifying." Akel smirked at Pruu. She knew that her partner could beat her in a fight, it had been proven before, but she liked to push her luck sometimes. "You can make them wash their hands first." She unhelpfully offered. Though a chuckle did follow her words. "Maybe an assignment wouldn't be so bad. What about a simple recon mission on the village perimeter? It wouldn't put the students outside the aide of seasoned warriors and would hopefully give them something to so and report back with.
