A single green eye opened, it was nice sitting here with his momma... but he was bored. Bounding towards the red wagon he decided to see if he could offer a peace item to Cato. Rummaging through the toy he picked up a teddy of moderate size. Carrying it in his mouth over towards the swings.Catherine sighed quietly again. " She's.. ok.." Blinking a bit, she turned to look over at Salem. "She's seem a bit more cheerful playing with Nariko and Dei, is it ok if I leave her with you?"

"I don't mind." Jizzy said with a small smile and a nod. She was recovering fast, though still slightly shaken.
Deimos nodded as well. "I'll take good care of Smalls." He said, trying to reassure Catherine. He'd make sure Smalls felt better.

Gently he pushed the swing, smiling at how happy it seemed to make the baby. He didn't mind playing with the baby himself, but he thought Cato should play with other kids. He suppoed this would just have to... Wait... Garreth? Why was he coming this way?
Cato was oblivious to the world around him, content to swing there, giggling happily.

Placing the Teddy bear in Cato's lap, Garreth smiled. "This is for Cato, can we play together?"
Catherine smiled, she stood up once more placing the tiny baby in Nariko's lap. "I know you will." Her voice was calmed. "Oh and if you need anything.. it's all in the wagon." Nodding to them she began to make her way to the swings and Salem.
"Jiiiijiii... sssisisiisisssssssi" Nariko burbled mock cradling Aphrodite, much like how Diemos was holding her.
Aphrodite nuzzled a bit happily agains tthe soft jumper that Nariko was wearing.

Making his way towards the terrace, pushing the door aside, he took a deep breath of fresh air. Walking up behind Jizzy and the rest of the crew, he blinked watching Salem and the spider baby at the swings. Waving towards them a bit with his typicaly wide smile. Turning his gaze down at Jizzy and the rest of the group. "Yo sweet cheeks... what's up?"

Jizzy chuckled though her cheeks flsuhed slightly. SHe wasn't too used to compliment. "Nothing much, and.. sweet cheeks?" SHe asked, smiling at him.
Deimos smirked at Nariko's actions and looked up at Duke. " 'Lo." He said to him, rocking the two babes slightly.

Cato blinked as the wyrmling dropped a teddy bear into his lap. He looked down at the teddy a little confused for a moment before catching up with what just happened. "Maah!" He happily hugged the little bear with all four of his main arms, cuddling it. "Mah..."
He laughed softly, nodding. "Of course you can play, Garreth. He's very small though so you know to be careful Gar." With that he took Cato out of the swing and gently put him on the ground.
He found himself once again on the ground, but now he had a teddy so he didn't seem to mind at all. At the same time he didn't seem to be paying attention to Garreth either...

Garreth smiled his always caring smile, he lowered himself down so that he was laying on the floor. "Come on Cato, you can climb, can't you?"
Catherine took a moment to catch her breath, it seemed she move a little faster to get towards the swings a little faster. "Hey.. Salem."
Nariko giggled at Duke, he was so silly.. saying weird stuff like sweet and cheeks.
Aphrodite blinked up at Diemos, smiling at him, she then waved shyly at Duke.

He alughed a bit , patting Jizzy on the head. " Don't worry about, I make up cute nicknames for everyone." He winked at Deimos, acknowledging his hello. " Catherine called me saying something was wrong with Aphrodite and asking me to go out to get flower nectar of all things." He sighed shaking his head. "Do you know how hard it is to find if you don't know where you're looking?"

Salem smiled down at the two. That was so cute. Seeing that Cato wasn't getting the idea and not at all surprised, he picked up the child and sat him on Garreth's shoulders. "Not hold on Cato." He quietly told the little mishap before letting him go, though watching him closely to make sure he didn't fall.
Cato was a little confused as he was moved, but very quickly unlatched his first set of arms and clung tightly to Garreth's neck as he started to slip, the teddy however remained tightly gripped by his second set of arms.
He couldn't help but laugh softly as he shifted Cato back to where he should be. If there was something he had learned very quickly it was about Cato's ability to cling to things and not fall off. Once he was sure Cato had firmly gotten a hold, but wasn't choking Garreth either he turned his attention to Catherine.
"Hey there Cath. I'm sorry about all this. I thought Cato here could use some friends. Didn't expect all this to happen like it did... I don't think Deimos is too happy with him. He did however keep his temper very nicely. That's something to be proud of I think. Cato was being pretty bad to him with all the yanking and pulling and he still kept his temper. Pretty mature for a kid his age. There aren't many of thoughs, I should know." He nodded lightly as if agreeing with himself.
"Jizzy's done a very good job raising him I think. That's good. I hope that she does as good a job with Talqualyn. He's a shy and very meek little thing... I was really worried about him. He gets bossed around so much and does nothing in his own deffence. Deimos seems very capable though. I can only hope that He'll accept Tal as a little brother and protect him, despite how different they are. Well at least he's healing up well after losing three of his legs..." He frowned lightly at that thought. Poor little guy...
"So, what do you think of Cato. I've only been with him a couple of days, but his habits are hard to miss. He's obviously got a strong 'mine' complex. Seems he's already half way down the road to even saying it right. Deffinatly knows what it means though... Problem is he seems to think everything is his. I've had to hide things so he won't get into them. Aside from that he seems like a good enough kid though." He smiled affectionatly down at the little spider-mishap. He'd obviously allowed himself to get attached to the odd little one, something he did not allow himself with the other kids back at his adoption home. It was usually a bad idea to get hooked an kids that you may never see again.

Gareth grinned and happily made his way to the slide. Carefully climbing up he laided himself down on the plastic slide and slid head first down!
Nariko began blowing spit bubbles to make Aphrodite and Deimos laugh.
"Oo..." Aphrodite popped one that got too close to her face.
"... you're doing a great job too Salem." She smiled a bit taking a seat in one of the 'big kid' swings. "Cato's going to grow up to be a heart breaker if he keeps this up." She laughed a bit, gripping the ropes of the swings. She hadn't noticed Duke had already arrived like she asked. Swingign gently back and forth she smiled. " You're a great father Salem, you'll set him straight... and you're right.. Jizzy has done such a wonderful job raising Deimos, I can't beleived he's already grown so fast..." Speaking of which... "Do you think I'm.. a good mother? .. I know it's a silly thing to ask, but Aphrodite's not doing so well.. she's.. been tired for the past week.. not like herself.. I thought she was sick and treated it like a cold... but.. that's not what it is. I asked Duke for help... but I need you too. I'm afraid for her. She's alright with Diemos and Nari.. they make her happy.. Do you think.. I .. make.. her happy too?"

The many eyed baby sure enough clung tightly even when Garreth got up and started to move. Where were they going now? He blinked as they climbed then Garreth laid down. What was he... He didn't get a chance to even try to figure it out. They slide quickly down the slide and were now back on the ground. The baby's eyes widened as he silently clung. He wasn't sure if he had liked that... That was a little scary... What if he fell? But... He hadn't fallen... This was new and he didn't quite knoe what to make of it yet...
The scruffy cat-man blushed slightly. He'd been expecting an opinion on his new baby, not on himself. He knew he was a good father, after all he had to raise many children back at his Home, by himself for quite a while too before Duke joined and soon after Catherine, but he hadn't expected the compliment to come out like that. "U-uh... Thank you." He couldn't help the smile that pulled at the corners of his lips. "I try. You do a good job too, Cathy-Baby. Seriously! I've had to take care of lots of babies Aph's size and let me tell you, you're got yourself a little doll. Playing hide-n-seek with someone an inch or two tall can be Hell right before bed time... You're doing great. She loves you very much and that's real easy ta see. All kids get sick every now and again and I'll help with Little Aph in any way I can. What is it you nee---ACK!! Duke you crazy dumba.... Um... Stupid-head! You have a vendeta against peace and quiet?!" He glared at his long haired coworker, grumbling something about Duke's 'wonderful timing'...

" You okies Cato?" he asked as he began to climb back up the ladder... well no puke hit the back of his head so that must be a good sign.. right?
Catherines' faced flushed as she gripped the ropes tightly. She smiled, she needed to hear thoses words from Salem... she winced as the birds flew away scared by Duke. "Have you ever heard of peace of mind? .. Huh? You got the nectar?!"
Nariko winced, boy was Duke loud, she wouldv'e covered her ears, but she didn't want to drop Aphrodite.
Aphrodite covered her ears. "Bleeeaaaa."

Duke shrunk a bit, raising his hand. "Sorry." He grinned. Digging into his pockets he pulled out two glass bottles. One had a picture of a flower while the other had a piece of fruit. He settled it on the table.
