Title  Whoa, Crazy idea!
October 19th, 2005
Journal!
Did you know Mr (Or Ms? AGH WHAT ARE YOU! I'm gonna say you're male from now on!) Journal that some people make scrapbooks to give to their babies? I didn't! I saw it on T.V. I love T.V. Anyway! I was watching a baby story, because nothing else was on, and I saw the Mommy and the Daddy making a scrapbook! A scrapbook is a picture book, only much more special! Or so I gathered, anyway.
I don't think MY Mommy and Daddy are making a scrapbook. Momma's always reading, and Daddy...he's just crazy, I think...he's been locking himself in the new baby's room and making a lot of noise. So neither of them are making a scrapbook...So I think that I should make one for them! With everyone's help, of course! heart I asked Harmony what she thought about it, and she seemed to think it was a good idea! Samira said she'd help too, and Seaweed, and Van...everyone! So now I just have to go find a blank book, and then go find everybody. heart
But it'll have to be a surprise, of course!

Title
The Scrapbook!
See Baby? Everyone LOVES you! n.n
-Crossposted to Vidya's Tome-
For the next couple days, Vidya scrambled around the house with a surprisingly empty book, tracking down every single one of her siblings and explaining her idea to them, and getting them to write or doodle on the book itself, to leave their mark or well wishes for Enoh, Nio, and more importantly, the coming baby. When the job was complete, these were the notes left by each kid in the house:Vidya
Ahh I'm the first one to write in here and I don't know what to write...! Uh. Well, lets start here;
Mommy, Daddy! I'm SO happy that you're happy because of this baby! Thank you for being happy, and for being pretty, and for giving us all another little brother or sister to play with!
Okay, now...
Baby! I don't know you yet, but I have felt you kick Momma. Be nice, okay? But I guess I'll overlook it, since Momma seems happy that you're kicking her, which is really strange, don't you think? Anyway! I can't wait to meet you, I know we'll be good friends! I'll try my very hardest to be a really good sister, and I'll read to you and tell you stories and play with you!
And when you're bigger, we can go on adventures in the back yard with Harmony, or Donny, or Ariella, or Valen and Van or whoever else we drag out with us!
And here's a feather from me! Keep it safe, it REALLY hurt pulling it out...
Much Love,
VidyaHarmony
To our new baby-
My name is Harmony. Mommy says I'm about nine years old or so, and I live in the house with all of our brothers and sisters. I am writing you this note to tell you that even though this house is very full of people, we're all very happy you're coming to live with us too. When you are born from mommy's tummy, we will play lots. I like to play with my sister Vidya, and sometimes with my brothers too but not so much. So please be a girl. But even if you are a boy I will play with you.
All of the smaller kids are drawing you things so I will draw you something too. Here is a flower.
This is a yellow tulip. We have some in the backyard. When you come out of mommy's tummy I will show you them. As you can see I am very good at coloring inside of the lines. I also drew clouds because I like clouds a lot. And the sun, you'll like the sun I think. It's very warm.
Well come out soon. We love you already. Love, HarmonyMieke
Dear Baby!
Hello! This is your Aunt, Mieke! I'm so looking foreward to seeing you out here with all of us! And once you find out what your favourite food is, I will most definately cook it for you whenever I can. You'll be growing up alongside my baby! Isn't that lovely?
You should know how special you are to all of us, and no matter what you do in life, or how alone you may ever feel (which I pray will NEVER happen), we love you unconditionally, and we'll always love you. You'll always have a save haven here.
Can't wait to see you grow!
-Mieke
Thoreau
Dear baby - Please don't cry a lot. I wouldn't appreciate it. Also, enjoy life.
- Thoreau
Zhamai
Hello Baby!
Chances are you won't see me around very often, I don't live at home anymore. But I promise I'll come by and visit you.
Wishing you all the best in life!
-Zhamai
Esmerelda
Dear newest member of the family:
Well, I doubt you'll be able to read this soon, but when you can read it I suppose you'll be old enough to talk and ask questions too, so let me offer what I can. If you ever need advice, or help with something, just ask your big sister Essie. Especially if you're looking for a snack. I know the best! Quick tip: Try the roast beef.
Hope to see you soon, and looking forward to seeing you grow!
~Essie
Valen, Van, and Ariella
Thats from Van. He's just an egg, so I rolled him in paint and he rolled himself over the paper for you. He says hello and happy baby life!
I'm Valen, and I'm also gonna write for Ariella. She's a pink-haired girl, and I think she's the only pink haired girl in the house. She says she wishes you're a girl, since she doesn't like boys, but even if you are a boy, she'll love you anyway! We all love you a lot!
Its been fun watching you make Mommy's belly all fat and stuff, but we really wanna see you outside of Mommy's belly. Come out soon?
-Valen, Van, and Ariella
Samira and Tino
Well-wishes for the baby!
I'm not quite sure what to say...it looks like everyone else said everything that I wanted to. So I guess I'll just have to repeat some things...like...we can't wait to see you, and we wish you a full life!
I say 'We' because Tino, one of your brothers, hit his hand with a hammer and can't write properly, so I'm doing it for him!
Love
-Samira and Tino
Teivel
Can't wait to see you, please don't bother me.
-Teivel
Sieanna
I'm still kind of new to this family, but it was still such a joy watching you get bigger in Enoh's belly. It'll be neat to see you once you come out (minus the baby goo and stuff), and I'll even take you swimming with me! I'm sure you'll love the water.
-Sieanna
Vidya AGAIN
This really isn't everyone baby...but they were everyone that I could find. So, I'm gonna just summarize for EVERYONE else, and say we all love you! And come out soon!
-From everyone else, in Vidya's words.

Title Baby Names!
Part Two
Cross posted to Vidya's Tome
(( Note: The first part of this Narrative was based around Vidya's distressed wonderings when it came to adoption and naming, and had little to do with actually looking for names...so I left that part in her tome. This is specific to names, so it stays here! ))
"Okay...now that's settled..." Enoh lightly scratched her cheek, then looked back at the Baby names book she'd been holding. "Want to help me look through these? Daddy and I need some name ideas."
"YES! I'll help!" Vidya eagerly replied...almost TOO eagerly. Excitedly, she opened the book she'd been holding, and stared at the pages she'd accidentally flipped to with a huge look of confusion. Blinking slowly, she turned back to her mother. "How do I do this?" She pointed at the book.
"Oh...You just...either read every name, or randomly point at one and decide if you like it or not. How's about this, we'll take turns saying names! You can start if you want, and then I'll go, and then--"
"Oooh...Baby names!" Valen fluttered into view, accidentally cutting off his mother. Without invitation, the Tahnee Cherub picked up a third baby name book, and seating himself on the floor, he contently flipped through it. "I wanna help to!" He grinned boyishly over the book at his sister and mother.
"Hello to you too, Valen." Enoh started with a giggle. "Alright then, we'll all take turns. Vidya, then Valen, and then myself." As she said their names, she pointed towards them, to make sure they got the order. "Alright Viddy, ready to start?"
"YES! Okay...!" The tale held the book out at Arm's length after moving to sit indian style on the couch. Closing her eyes, she opened the book to a random page, and equally blinded, she pointed at one of the names. Opening her eyes, she leaned over the book and upon realizing she had no idea how to pronounce it, she looked for the pronounciation. "E-Oo-Stah-Kyo...Eustaquio! Weird name...its...a boys name, and it means....fruitfull..?" Vidya leaned back and wrinkled up her nose a bit; it was obvious she didn't much like the name.
"Thats a strange name.." Valen mused, before opening his book in the same manner that Vidya had, only moments before. "Arwel. Boy's name...Its Welsh, but it doesn't have a meaning?" He blinked. "Can names not have meanings, Momma?"
"Yes, thats possible. I'm pretty sure my name has no meaning! How about I write down what names we agree on, hm? That way we can show Daddy later, and then we can get him and anyone else to play this game too!" A sound of cheering came from both kids, so the shifter pulled out the pad of paper and opened it, jotting down Arwel onto it. It sounded alright, so why not at least consider it? "Okay, my turn! Lets see...Evike, the Hungarian pet form of Eve..."
So their little game continued. Vidya always managed to get the really long, hard to pronounce and often outlandish names, and it started to become a bit of a joke to the trio. Valen managed to get all of the smaller names, though there were a few times his random choices were as out there as the ones Vidya was unlucky enough to get. Enoh, luckily, had a nice mix of both. By the time they had gone through as many names as they wanted, Enoh had quite a list made then...and looking at it, she steadily dreaded the day she had to actually pick ONE out with Nio.
Arwel, Marius, Milan, Korbin, Mordechai and Lucius were but a few of the boys names that the three had called out, that seemed to be interesting, while Evika, Persephone (Enoh likes Greek Mythology!), Lareyna, Eirlys, Zahira and Freya were a few of the girl's names. Enoh had a rather long list, and naturally wondered if it were possible to reverse time and make it so that their little game never happened...
As the shifter looked over the names, the two kids bade her farewell and danced off, probably going to go play somewhere for the time being. Now all Enoh had to do was wait for Nio to come home...

Enoh's Diary
So I've been thinking...
What am I gonna do now?
Dear Diary:
It recently hit me that when you're pregnant, some things sound absolutely awesome one minute, and absolutely terrible the next. Like...I was going over that list of names, and I decided I hated them all. Funny how that works, eh? Luckily I haven't shown Nio yet...neither of us have had the chance to actually sit down and discuss things, though we really should soon. Surprisingly, we're really busy people...between Nio working, and my always being home and going to the doctors thing...night time is all we have, and lets just say night time isn't for chatting. Well, not too much chatting, anyway. By the way, even thats getting difficult 'cause of this belly of mine.
Darn, maybe we'll actually have to talk to eachother! Hahaha, I kid, I kid! Nio, if you ever read this, I'm so sorry, I couldn't help it! On second thought, why would you read this anyway?
But hey, if you are...you'd better get your hot nose out of my uber secret and ultra personal diary before I'm forced to punish you, you sexy cabbit man! I know your weaknesses! :XP:
Haha...
Anyway! You know what sounds absolutely awesome right now? Mushrooms and Cheesecake. Not on top of eachother, but in the same meal. Its my one big addiction, next to rice. Some of my cravings are so strange...chocolate and carrots, fried onions...bah. Rice is the most normal craving yet. I don't even LIKE fried onions!
By the way, I was humming a song I had stuck in my head...and suddenly, something around me started to actually play that song! It scared the hell out of me...until I realized it was that music player Pave gave us. Its really nifty, especially if you've got a song bothering you that you need to hear like...now. I think Essy has it right now, or maybe Thoreau.
But on another note, I've been wondering what I'd do with my spare time. I mean...I'll have the baby as well as some of the other kids, plus the house...but I've also gotten so used to working outside of the house throughout all of that. Since I quit my job completely, I've found myself sitting on the couch and twiddling my thumbs. Some of the kids are really helpful with the cleaning since Mieke's preoccupied with her twins and her mate (who is now living at our house. Can this place get ANY MORE people in it!?), so it really leaves very little for me to do.
Maybe I really should open a restaurant or something...that sounds nice. It'd be completely safe, I don't think Nio could put up a fight about that! I know I thought of it before, but its an idea thats been nagging at me since I first started staying home. Ooo...I know what I can do! I'll go steal Teivel's computer and start doing some research on it; hey, at least its keeping my busy!
Much Love,
Enoh

For the first time in what must have been ages, Enoh was on the computer. She was actually Online! It'd been so long since her last visit to the virtual world, and the only reason she'd been on the virtual world to begin with was because Teivel insisted on making her a chat account.
Little did Enoh know, that would come in so handy this time. Before she'd done anything of value, her friend Eight had decided to bother her over their Instant Messengers, and it wasn't long before the shifter had her half-demon friend trapped in a rather...interesting conversation.Quote:
ProfessionalChampion: AHAHAHAIWIN
DemonicButterfly: XD
DemonicButterfly: "Sex is the LAST thing on my mind!" Cue Alex. "WHAT?! D:"
ProfessionalChampion: e.e Yeah thats what I told my doctor, too. >>
DemonicButterfly: And the doctor didn't believe you, right?
ProfessionalChampion: Do I believe you?
DemonicButterfly: You should.
ProfessionalChampion: But I don't.
DemonicButterfly: But you should.
ProfessionalChampion: But I'm not gonna.
DemonicButterfly: But I'm just saying.
DemonicButterfly: You should.
DemonicButterfly: Because I do not lie!
ProfessionalChampion: -_- Not changing my mind!
DemonicButterfly: Damn.
ProfessionalChampion: Face it, Its near the front of your mind. >D
DemonicButterfly: ...Why does it have to be near? Why can't it just be THERE?
ProfessionalChampion: Well I have to give you a bit of leniency.
DemonicButterfly: Oh. Then I'll shut up now before I say something stupid.
ProfessionalChampion: But if you just admitted to it being at the forefront...THEN I WIN
DemonicButterfly: WAIT NO NO YOU DON'T
ProfessionalChampion: whee Yes I do! Face it, you're thinking about it now!
DemonicButterfly: ...That'd just be weird.
DemonicButterfly: Because I'm talking to YOU.
DemonicButterfly: And you're not Alex. <:/
ProfessionalChampion: But I'm not talking about /with/ me, dork.
ProfessionalChampion: I was thinking of Nio when the doctor told me I could still have sex. >>
DemonicButterfly: That's understandable.
DemonicButterfly: But you're not my doctor telling me I can still have sex with Alex.
ProfessionalChampion: No, but I am your friend telling you you can.
DemonicButterfly: Wtf, really?
DemonicButterfly: ...
ProfessionalChampion: Sure, why not? >>
DemonicButterfly: I wish Lani was like that.
ProfessionalChampion: What she don't know won't hurt her! 8D
DemonicButterfly: Exactly!
ProfessionalChampion: You should go call Alex. I'll take Vidya and Shauna home with me for the rest of the day. >>
DemonicButterfly: Sounds like a plan to me.
ProfessionalChampion: Alllright. I'll go collect the youngin's.
DemonicButterfly: ...But we can't do anything at his house. Lani's right there.
ProfessionalChampion: ...Rent a hotel room?
DemonicButterfly: That'd be too weird. <:/ Do you realize how many other people have had sex in those beds?
ProfessionalChampion: ...Oh I don't know, do it in YOUR house?
DemonicButterfly: Brilliant.
DemonicButterfly: I'm the difficult one, it seems.
ProfessionalChampion: Yes. Yes you are.
DemonicButterfly: But that's why I have you!
ProfessionalChampion: Uh huh! Alright, NOW we'll leave and give you some private time. <3
DemonicButterfly: Yay. <3

Enoh really hadn't thought of Prenatal classes at any point during her pregnancy; well, until she talked with Mieke, at least. The poor doe recalled the torment and anguish she went through bringing the twins, Minoru and Maral, into the world. It was talking with her daughter that made her suddenly want to take the Prenatal classes; mainly because she wanted her and Nio to be more prepared for their baby, than Mieke and Momo were for the twins.
So the shapeshifter started looking up the Prenatal Classes; unfortunately, they were all booked, and with no signs of opening anytime soon. Naturally, the shifter went with the next best thing; getting a book on how to do it at home! It came with a video and some really thoughtful tools, like...oh, that fake belly she could stray onto Nio.
She went into hysterical laughter just thinking about it.
All of this she had done within the period of one day; and now, she was waiting for her dearest husband to return home, just so she could torture him with that pregnant torso wrap.

As if on cue, the front door opened and shut, followed by the telltale sounds of boots banging against the wall as they were taken off and slung in a corner. He slung one strap of his overalls off his shoulder before peeking over the wall to check in the living room.
"Oh, there's my baby. I'll give you a proper greeting after I take a shower. You'd never want to be near me again if you came anywhere near me right now."
He grinned and ducked back out, heading up the stairs while the strap on his other shoulder was slung off. Nio had spent the entire day at his trade, half of which was fishing and the other half selling at the fish market. He would have brought some of his catch home, but they had enough fish in the house; beside, he figured as much as he'd done today, the last thing he wanted for dinner was fish. The last thing he ever wanted to see was fish.
He dropped his overalls once he was upstairs, dumping them almost immediately into the washing machine along with the shirt he tugged off his chest with one arm. That dealt with, he went up to their room for a long, hot shower to relieve his sore muscles, while washing away the smell of fish and thinking about a possible career change.

"Hiya Sweetie!" Enoh stretched out her legs a bit. "Heeeey....Don't destroy the house, okay?" She giggled as he appeared in the doorway of the living room...and even though she wasn't near the door, she could smell the fish on him. Sticking her tongue out at him playfully, she only happily retorted. "No worries, I wouldn't wanna come near you anyway. You stink." Then, waving goodbye like a proper wife, she let him go. "I'll be waiting here for you, when you aren't so stinky." Aaaand there went the smartass in her again.
But she did what she said she would; she waited for him in the living room, humming a song to herself.

If Nio didn't know that it was nothing but the truth, he would have acted offended at just how much she pointed this out. However, he was too looking forward to a shower, and once it done, he felt a hundred times better. Perhaps a little disappointed that she hadn't snuck in with him.. but still much better than he had when he walked in. He rubbed his hair roughly with a towel and threw on a pair of slacks before heading down the stairs with a shirt hanging over his shoulder. His hair was still wet; putting it on now would just soak it.
"Okay. I'm clean, I can only hope I smell good now, and nothing's going to stop me from giving you a proper hello." He murmured after trampling down the stairs and flopping down on the couch beside her, pulling her beside him with one arm. He curled the other one around her and bent in before she could draw a breath, let alone protest, and left a long and claiming kiss on her lips. He waited until he was good and satisfied before gently pulling away, and rested his nose against her with a smug little smile.
".. Hello."

Enoh hummed away happily; that was, of course, until she heard him come down the stairs. She stopped humming then, and watched him as he came closer. God he looked handsome when his hair was wet...he kind of looked rugged, which was actually pretty funny considering he was noweher near rugged. But then again, the shifter thought he was drop dead gorgeous no matter what he did; even when he reeked of fish. Not that she ever told him that directly, it was fun to play with him.
She was going to give him a retort, but his claiming lips put a damper on that perspective. Smiling against his lips, she decided to return his kiss instead of retort, which in the end was much more fun, she thought. Once he was satisfyed and pulled back, Enoh smiled again. "Alright Alright you win, I'll be nice. Hello my love." She giggled, nuzzling her nose against his. Well, he did have one awesome way of putting her in her place!
"And yes, you do smell very nice, dearest." She only happily informed him, toying with a strand of his wet hair. "Have you ever heard of Prenatal Classes?" She asked as if it had everything to do with the way he smelt.

It wasn't often that she admitted he won, so hearing it always made him feel a little pompous. He grinned a cheshire grin, and snuggled her closer as his prize. His grin faltered when talk went from smelling nice to prenatal classes. His mind struggled to find a connection, but he didn't dwell on it much. He never dwelled on anything too much, after all.
"No, actually. But I know what prenatal means. What do they teach you at a prenatal class?" He briefly pictured a group of women together teaching each other different varieties of food mixtures that a person in their right mind would never even consider eating, but knew better than to think this was a possibility.
He bent his head in slightly, burying his nose in her neck and attempting at distracting her from her thoughts. "Mm, you smell nice too you know."

"Well we--" Enoh paused as he bent his head against her neck, doing exactly what he had hoped to do, and completely distracted her from what she was about to say. Giving an almost ticklish giggle, she lifted one of his hands and playfully bit his finger, since she very well couldn't reach his neck. "Aww, thank you sweetie...! But you're changing the subejct again!" She informed him with a playful swat.
"Anyway, it basically prepares both Future Mommies and Daddies for their new babies! Y'know...like how to properly breathe during labour and all that. I wanted us to take one of those...especially after hearing what Mieke went through with her twins." She didn't tell him she couldn't find an open class though; nor did she tell him her alternative. She just wanted to know if he'd go for it or not.

Nio pulled up quickly when his finger was bitten, and he put his finger in his mouth, sucking it childishly as if she'd drawn blood. He listened to her explanation and suggestion regardless, and pulled his finger out when she had finished.
"Oh. Well. That would make sense. It's probably a good idea. Okay, I'll go with you."
That being said, he figured the conversation was over and quickly ducked under her chin, kissing her neck to further his distraction. If she had wanted to continue the discussion, he certainly didn't seem to realize it.
