Siobhan's face split into a brilliant grin when her youngest entered the kitchen and immediately pulled her best sleepy-voice to try and cute her way into candy for breakfast. She tsked a bit and shook her head. "No, Prudence, you may not. You know the rule. No sweets for breakfast. You have to wait until lunch." Siobhan grabbed a plate and put a small serving of eggs on it, handing it to the child with a fork. She then sliced some more bread, toasted it, and spread some strawberry jam on a couple of slices. She placed the toast on her youngest's plate with a motherly smile. "There. Strawberry jam. That's sweet enough for this early. And it's your favorite." She glanced at Ciaran, clasping her hands together. "Oooh, I can use the current batch to make homemade jam! I think I have a recipe for it somewhere... one of my mothers. I just need to find it..." Her thoughts trailed off and then returned to the conversation Prudence had interrupted. The boys were going to adopt, that was wonderful! She supposed that Aedan had been doing research without Ciaran so his husband wouldn't feel pressured, but she knew that Ciaran would make a lovely father and would give in to Aedan eventually. Well, they'd both make lovely fathers. Although Ciaran would have to curb the impulse to constantly give in and give their kids candy, she thought, pursing her lips a bit at the thought and suppressing a small laugh. She wanted to question them more, but knew it wasn't wise in front of the little one. This was a private, adult only discussion for now, and while Pru might not understand much of it, that wouldn't stop her from blabbing about it to her older siblings, who would understand perfectly. Not to mention the wild misinterpretations or exaggerations the little one would likely embellish the news with if she did tell her brothers.

 ▷Former Hufflepuff▷Muggleborn▷Married to Aedan Lowery▷Sticky Wicket Owner and Chef →Ciaran pouted and whined as he rubbed his smacked hand before sneaking another piece of bacon from his husband's plate with a snicker. Oh how he loved messing with him. He paused in mid bite of his eggs and toast when Aedan spoke of researching and felt himself get a bit miffed. He had said he'd think about it when he first brought it up about a week ago, he hadn't thought the bloody man had already done the thinking for the both of them! Oooo they were going to have a loooong talk after they dropped off Jar. He did however nod when he was looked at nervously and felt a tiny crow of triumph inside him; his husband knew to be afraid, good. Just then Prudence decided to join the party and asked him in her adorable sleepy voice if he had any candy. He opened his mouth to answer but Siobhan beat him to the punch and gave her a plate of breakfast on the table. Ciaran winked and picked up the little girl and settled her on his lap giving her a hug. "Maybe later cutie." he whispered in her ear before settling her in her own chair. When Siobhan mentioned homemade jam his ears perked up and his mind spun with ideas. "And I could use your jam to make some tarts. I've been thinking of adding baked goods along with sweets at the shop to broaden my market. And if the jam is anything like the strawberries the tarts'll be a number one hit! But we'll talk after we get Jar to the station. Speakin' of which, where is that lazy bones?" he asked looking around the kitchen.

Prudence's plans got foiled and she gave a little pout till she was hugged by Ciaran and sat down in her seat She got a butter knife and put as much jam as she could on the bread. Before taking a bite her face getting most of the jam. "What where you talking about that you'll discuss later?" She asked with a messy face.

The Knight Bus slammed to a halt in front of the gates to the Lowery Estate. Aedan flicked his wand and the seats he and the kids sat in remained in spot, rather than fly forward like the majority of the Bus. "Alright, this is our stop." He said as he stood and smiled at the kids. He looked at Ciaran and smiled at him. Well, let's do this. he said as he stepped off, setting the suitcase on the ground. "Come on." he said with a smile as he waited for the others.

 Caty woke up as the bus stopped, her short hair spiked out in all directions. She climbed down from the chair, clutching her bunny to her chest. She put her other hand up to her mouth, thumb being suckled by the tiny girl. She waddled to the edge of the bus, then climbed down the stairs. This was a big place, and she didn't know what to do. She whimpered a bit, waddled to where the man stood. Bright eyes were wide, the toddler shaking a bit.

 ✥10 Years Old✥
✥Former Orphan✥
✥Future Wizard✥ Kenny was thankful that the bus had stopped. It moved so fast and he thought they where going to crash several times. And when they went into tight spaces he felt like he was smushed in. Thank goodness Caty was asleep. He saw her wake up and get off and he moved to her and held her shoulder trembling a bit.

▷Former Hufflepuff▷Muggleborn▷Married to Aedan Lowery▷Sticky Wicket Owner and Chef →Ciaran tried very hard to keep his breakfast in his stomach but the harried ride back to the estate on the Knight Bus was not giving him a fair fight. You'd think they'd fine a better way to lessen the blow he thought sluggishly getting off the Merlin-forsaken contraption. He gave a weak smile to his husband but frowned seeing a shivering Caty and immediately drew her up into his arms before grinning down at Kenny and giving him a warm shoulder squeeze. "Home sweet home! Let's get outta this cold so I can make you kids some hot cocoa. An' I know for a fact that you've got two Aunts and two cousins dying to see you on the inside." Ciaran chuckled thinking of a Siobhan and Pru be their giggly selves and even Andrea excited for the arrivals of the new children. And he could only imagine what Jar was thinking.← Candy says I hate the quiet places

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxThis art goes drownRhys stood there after getting off the bus, in the back and behind everyone else. He didn't want to be here. Why did he agree? He shifted awkwardly, trying and failing to hide how nervous he was. Thankfully no one was paying attention to him, and suddenly he looked around. How easy would it be to hide in the snow, anyway? His hair, well, he had the best hair fir it, right? Thankful that no one was paying attention, he snuck away, ducking into a nearby snowdrift to make sure no one could find him. He then curled up into a ball. Even Kenny seemed to have a better sibling now, and Rhys, well, he was left alone again. Closing his eyes, he hid the tears he felt were threatening by burying his face in his arms. He hadn't cried since his parents disappeared, and he wasn't going to let it happen now. Even if he really wanted to. -------------------------------------

Siobhan had been at the entryway of their home as soon as she'd heard the bus outside. The Knight Bus was many things, and quiet was not one of them. She'd heard them a mile away. She'd been readily pulling on her sweater and coat and heels to head out the door. She supposed she could simply wait until the kids were brought inside but she didn't want to wait that long! She bundled Prudence up as well, not willing to let her own baby catch a cold. She turned back looking into the house, calling out, "Jarlath! Your uncles are here with your new cousins! I'm heading outside with your sister, get a coat and boots on and join us!" Siobhan didn't feel the need to force her eldest out the door, of course, he could take his own time getting outside. She made sure that Prudence would be nice and warm, and was out the door, Prudence's hand tucked carefully into her own. She smiled and waved at the group all standing out front, almost running up to meet them. "Aedan, Ciaran, how was the trip? Did everything go well?" She refrained from offering hugs or kisses to her in-laws since was holding one of the children... her eyes went wide and she smiled. "Oh, who's this sweet little one?" If she recalled correctly, there were to be two boys and a girl. Here was the youngest, Caty, she thought, and the eldest, Kenneth... but where was the middle child? Her brow crinkled. "Erm, Aedan, deartháir céile, we seem to be missing one... surely you haven't started losing track of them already!" Her eyes were bright, her tone light and teasing, and she gazed out at the snowbanks, looking for the third child... Rhys, she thought his name was. She had no idea what he looked like, so she had no idea what she was looking for. She pursed her lips. Was the boy playing a game, or had he already decided he didn't like his new home? If it were the latter, they would have to remedy that immediately.

Prudence felt like a present she was so wrapped up in warm cloths. She pulled her scarf loose as she saw the new members of her family. She saw two of them... wait there was suppose to be three. She started to count on her mitten fingers but it was hard so she took her mitten off. She looked around for the third one surely they could not lose someone so easily even her uncles could not be that forgetful. Something caught her eye a bit of pink in the white. "I think I found him mama" Pru went over to the pink it looked like a face but he was covered in snow. "Oh no your all covered in snow." She tried to wipe his hair off. "Why won't it come off snow is not sticky unless your frozen..."

Cathryn squeaked when she was lifted into her new daddy's arms. Wide green eyes stared at him, then she turned to look at everyone. Kenny was there, standing near their other daddy. Rhys got off the bus, then during Caty's yawn, seemed to vanish. "Wryssy?" Her voice was soft, sheepish almost, but she was genuinely curious to the location of her big brother. Suddenly, a lady with blonde hair was beside her, asking who she was. "Who are you, lady! And where did Rhyssy go? Oh! That kid found him! Who's she?!" She watched the black haired girl, a slight frown in place. Why was her big brother hiding in the snow?! Did he not like it here? Admittedly, if she were wearing shoes, she probably would have hidden right alongside him. Her socks and most of her pant legs were still wet from tromping through the snow after that horrible bus ride. The toddler curled her toes on instinct, but didn't want to have to ask for help so soon, so instead she stretched one foot down, then used her foot to lift the bottom hem of Ciaran's shirt, and pressed her ice cold foot to his bare belly. There. Now perhaps he'd give her nice, warm socks to replace the cold, wet ones.

 Fay Lowery Former Hufflepuff Single Lowery Estate Hat of the DayHearing that Ciaran and Aedan had returned with their children Fay grabbed a coat and made her way out to the small group that had gathered to meet the new children. Spotting the children with their new two parents, Fay smiled. It appeared that they had chosen a little girl, a boy, and did she hear mentioned that there was another boy they adopted as well? She smiled as she watched them, sticking her hands in her coat pockets. "They're all so cute!" She smiled as she looked from the little girl in Ciaran's arms to the oldest boy and then the younger boy that Prudence found hiding. Fay stifled a chuckle when she heard Prudence insist that the boy with white hair must have snow on it. She looked back at Ciaran and Aedan, figuring introductions were close at hand, but waited for them to do it.

With a flutter of wings an owl dropped the large envelope on the ground before Siobhan. The Owl flew off immediately.
The Outside of the Envelope read in an elegant script:

The Ball will be occurring during the upcoming summer and will be open to the members and their guests:Siobhan, Aedan, Andrea, Ciaran, Faylinn, Jarlath, Devin, Prudence.
Please send back an owl to the Brighton Estate with your acceptance or your denial as soon as possible.

Was she actually trying to take his hair off his head? He covered his hair with his hands, shooting the girl a suspicious look. "I's my hair, go 'way." He didn't care how dumb he sounded, or what he looked like sitting in the snow. He just wanted people to leave him alone. Or maybe even acknowledge him. He wasn't sure which he preferred yet. -------------------------------------

Andrea stepped out of her cottage and looked around. Her eyes widened slightly as she saw the group gathered. That was the problem with the whole living in a separate house, you missed out unless you were playing close attention. It was no secret that Andi wasn't good at that. She headed outside toward the group. A smiled immediately appeared on her face as she saw the children. That were so adorable! Especially the little girl. She just want to take her for herself. "Hello" She said with a smile glanced at her new family members. ooc; outfit in top pic
