[The Birth]
Farland hid a cheap girn and reatreated into her study, shutting the door after kimie entered. She walked over to the corner of her desk, sitting on it happily " Oh, dont worry " She said, streaching her arms above her head " They come and get me if i am needed " She said, folding her arms infrtong of her and snuggeling into her robe, perches on the corner of the desk
"Congratulations in advance. I know first-hand how hard a long labor is." She grimaced sympathetically. Taking a seat, she sat cross-legged on the chair, suddenly not knowing how to begin.
"I.. well. Hm. I was wondering about Maddie, actually. I mean... she showed up at my house. Looking like me. Calling me "mommy." And well, I figure she has to have something to do with this clinic, since she also looks so much like Madoc," she finished in a rush.
" You mean the littel one outside? The littel girl? " She asked curiously... peering out from the window of her office, wich she could see easily from hre seat on the desk " She's not yours? I mean, you dont know were she came from? " She asked curiously, red orbs shifting from the irl through the window back to kimie, a curious expression on her face.
Kimie blinked, nearly too surprised to answer. Farland didn't know?? Regaining her composure, Kimie nodded.
"Yes. She claims to be my daughter. She showed up on my doorstep when I was still pregnant with Madoc. Amyla and Aiodhan were visiting, actually, and we found Maddie playing in the flowerbeds."
Meanwhile, the children in question were busily stacking up the blocks as high as they could and then proceding to knock them down with a crash.

Falrand frowned a bit " playing in the flower-beds? She must have been rather littel then, sence madoc is growing up already.. " She used... narrowing her eyes curiously, focuseing on the girls back right shoulder " I wonder... " She said, then got of and glided over to the door and opened it " maddie dear, could you come here for moment, your mum and i would like to talk to you ' She said, happily, calling out to the littel girl, then wisteled to the man watching the counter for faun " Jeremy, can you watch the wee one over there? " She said, nodding twords madoc, who goaned and wondered over, sitting down within the piles of blocks, stuffed animals and toys, with the littel boy.
"Hm, now that I think about it, she hasn't really grown since.. arriving."
Maddie hopped up and dropped the handful of blocks (loudly of course) and skipped into the office. She clambered up onto her mother's lap at peered at Farland with her huge teal eyes.
Again, happy to have someone's attention, Madoc smiled winningly at Jeremy. "B'ock!" he announced, thrusting a block at the man.
Farland smiled, knowing how jeremy had no child skills at all, and peerking through his glasses at the block, grasped it in his long figered hand " Uh.. yeah.. " He said, looking at it as if it had the plauge.
Farland nodded and turned her attention back to them " realy then.. i might have an idea... Maddie sweet-heart, can i see the back of your shoulder? " She asked, a sweet smile on her face.
Madoc, of course, was oblivious to that fact. "Bear!" he chirped, holding out a stuffed bear. He beamed. He knew words!
Kimie raised a slim brow and nodded at Maddie. "Go on, sweets, show Ms. Farland." The little girl slid down and turned around, presenting her shoulder for inspection.
Jeremy adjusted the glasses on the end of his nose " Yeah.. Bear... " He said. For being a germ infected squaling infant, he was rather cute chittering out his words like that. Though knowing that the infant has probably touched many things without washing his furred littel hands made his skin crawl -germaphobe-
Farland smiled and gently brushed through the fur on her shouler untill she found what she was serching for, the littel peices suddenly clicking together, as she motioned for kimie to come look at the littel girls shoulder. A Barcode was on the back of her shoulder, topped with the toxic waste sybol " Shes a toddler. ' She said, even though the fact she was a young child was obvious, it aperanly ment something completly different from that.

Madoc dropped the bear, distracted by the shiny things on the man's face. "Glass!" He made grabbyfingers at Jeremy's spectacles. Mommy had shiny things like that, too. They were interesting, and he'd been taught how to hold them Very Carefully.
"What the..?" Kimie peered at her daughter's shoulder. "Is that.. a barcode?" She blinked, wondering how she'd managed to miss that. She reached out and patted Maddie's shoulder, as if searching for a sign that this was a new development. Somehow. "What do you mean, a 'toddler'? Of course she's a toddler..." Kimie's voice trailed off, catching the import in Farland's tone.
Maddie squirmed, not understanding why her shoulder was under such scrutiny.
Jeremy eyed the child scepticaly, then carefully took of his glasses and handed them to him carefully, the black rims polished chineing almost as brightly as the the scratchless glass.
She furrowed her grows a bit, her finger brushing over the barcode " T.O.D.D.L.E.R. Its a code name. " She said quietly ' Toddlers were created from samples of humanoid cultures. In this case, you. Im not sure what their original purpose was. " She said ,wich was a lie, for she did know, they were going to be an army, Biolodgical weapons, but a glitch in their creation had inabeled them to grow past the phisical and mental state of about a 7 year old.
Madoc, who knew that Breaking Glasses Is Unacceptable, as is Touching the Lenses, held them Very Carefully. "Shine. Pretty." Madoc nodded thoughtfully (or, as thoughtfully as an almost-toddler can) and handed the glasses back, much to Jeremy's relief.
"I.. see." Kimie blinked yet again. "But.. why me? And, if these toddlers had some .. other fuction.. why aren't they doing it? I mean, why did Maddie show up at my doorstep, and," she took a breath, "Who would do such a thing??"
Maddie's lip quivered, sensing her mother's distress. "Mommy mad? Not.. want Maddie?" She sniffled pathetically.
Kimie calmed down at once. "Of course I want you, sweets! Mommy is just.. trying to figure things out, OK?" She winced. The last thing she'd wanted was to upset her little.. daughter. The little girl sniffed again and climbed into Kimie's lap, demanding hugs and reassurance.
" I dont know.. But... They somehow had to get your DNA. "
Farland fround a bit, watching maddie " Darling, just think of it this way. Your mommy CHOSE to keep you, become she loves you... " She said, smileing happily.
Kimie thought about that for a moment. "Really, that's why I came here. Because of Madoc and all. Especially since Maddie is distinctly lemur-ish..." She shrugged and continued petting Maddie.
With a final sniff, Maddie nodded and climbed down. "Go play again." She trotted out to the waiting room and plopped down next to Madoc.

Jeremy looked at the blurry figure makeing his way over to them, squinting his eyes and thinking.. was that.. a giant red headed lemur? O_o
Farland nodded ' I Belive they used a technique similar to ours to create these toddlers. They used animal DNA to give each toddler a specific advantage, im guessing maddie, who is most definatly lemur, would be built for agility.
Madoc waved, opening and closing his whole hand, at Maddie. "Pretty," he announced, pointing at Jeremy's glasses. Maddie examined them carefully ("look with your eyes, not your hands!") and nodded in agreement. Pulling her tail into her lap, she patted it, as if cradling a doll.
"That I can understand, I suppose. But.. how would they get my DNA? I've only ever volunteered it here..."
Jeremy patted around the ground and, only finding bloks, looked around for the baby lemur child... wich he seemed to be haveing probilums finding.. for now there were two of the giant lemurs! o-o''
" DNA can be obtained from almost anything. Peices of hait, skin, traces of blood, it dosnt take much... "
Maddie stared at Madoc. Madoc blinked at Jeremy. Maddie blinked at Madoc. "MOMMYYYYY!!!"
Kimie shrugged. "Well, yes, but the lemur part seems so unlikely to be a coincid--" And she was cut off by Maddie's yell. "What is it, Maddie?" she called out, not realizing at first what she saw...
Madoc sat calmly, playing with the bear and the blocks. Maddie pointed at him frantically. "Mommyyyy!"
Jeremy cringed, and went to puthis hands to his ears, but still had the blon in hand, and ended up cracking himself right up-side the head wih a blue wooden block. stressed
Farland was listening intently to Kimie when the young girl yelled. Then yelled against and blinked, tiling her head twords the door before riseing, her wing tucking against her back and walked twords the door curiously.
Kimie rushed out of Farland's office and knelt down by Maddie and the child who could only be... "Madoc??"
Maddie crowded against Kimie, still pointing at her brother. "Maddie look at shiny glasses, look up, Madoc BIG!" she wailed, horribly confused.
"Hum?" Madoc just looked at Maddie, nonplussed, wondering what all the fuss was about. Suddenly reminded of Evan's own transformations, and cries of, "Ev big! Ev big!" Kimie could only sit and shake her head. Good lord, Gaia was a weird place to live!
Farland " Oh my.. " She said, grinning wickedly as she looked at the intire scene... then realized it ewas glad this was technicaly a hospital.. by the looks of jeremy.. who was cur5rently slumped against a large stuffed tiger, snoozing after hitting himself with the block.

Kimie barely spared a glance at Jeremy, too intent on this rather sudden change. Looking up, she said, "I'm sorry, Farland, I think we'd best get going.. You've certainly given me quite a bit to think about, and, well, it looks like Madoc here is going to need some larger clothing!"
She pulled herself to her feet, trying not to trip over Maddie and held a hand out to Madoc, who stood without any trouble.
Farland raised her eyebrow and smirked as kimie left, husteling the two children out, her wing rusteling as she shut her study door. Just as the door clicked shut she heared a rather... painfull scream from the room were faun was, and with a quiet gasp quickly returned to the birthing room after running her hands through the steriliser.
Faun Whimpered, swirggeling about on the bed. She had been in labor for hours, and still no babies, she was begeining to worry, and she had started to panic as the pain had suddenly gotten worse. She gave one leg a violent kick at the contraption tipicaly used to hold up the mothers legs, her golden hooves sliveing easily through the material of the strap, just as her mother walked into the room, another screech escapeing the tiny deer woman, her fur spiked and damp with speat, spikey around her distended belly.
Mili looked around for the mixture Farland had asked Jenn to apply eariler, finding it on the coutner her hurried to add more to try and calm Faun down, "Deep breath Faun I'm sti- hic! -ll here hang in there please..." he grasped Faun's hand giveing it a tight squeeze while trying to keep away from Faun's pointed hoves.
Farland narrowed her eyes and was glad that this room was fire-proof. She husteled over and checked faun quickly, a hand reaching up and grasping a delicate anckel before she got a hoof to the eye. Raising one eyebrow she looked over at mili, then back to faun. " Faun, i know it hurts, but im going to need you tp start puching now, instead of kicking ' she said in a soothing tone, though there was a wave of athority there that wuold remind one of a plate of steel under a velvet cloth.
Faun clasped milis hand in a death grip, and game another quiet wail, but at her mothers stern glare, her ears folded flat against the back against her head and she stoped thrashing, involentarily trying to wriggel off the table against mili, but her mother held her anckel tight, keeping her from going anywere, and when the next contraction rippeled across her abdomine, she followed orders and pushed as hard as she could, bearing down her muscels as best she could.
Mili gave a breif glance to Farland as she took over controle again trying to give a look of regret for putting Faun through such pain. He turned away and as Faun struggled to get close he came closer placeing a hand on her cheek and kissing her forhead, "I'm here with you Faun, I won't leave I promise..." his voice cracked as he said this hearing the silent wails of pain Faun gave.

[The Birth]
Farland folded her wing to her back, the feathers fluffed up defensivly, an unconsious reaction to fauns mewling. She sat down to wait, and after a few moments, she gave a sharp whistel that had one of her nurses run into the room, quickly throwing on one of the fire-proof uniforms.
Faun whimpered and relished in the momen of rest before her muscels cramped up again, her eyes screwed shut as she worked as best she could while fighitng the urge to scrambel out from the man-made confinement of the clinic in serch of the comforting forest.
Farland grinned, and after a moment, one tiny baby boy slid free into her waiting hands. She carefully cut the umbilucal cord and passed the tiny infant on to the nurse, who carefully took the itty-bitty new-born over to the counter and begine to clean his nose and carefully pinch his bottom so he gave a pathetic cry, almost as bad as his mother. Farland, sure that the baby was saef, turned, and waited for the next, the first-borns till hidden from the parents veiw.
Mili continued to kiss and stroke Faun's cheek and forhead letting her feel him close the whole time. He turned to the nurse looing much like Faun might have if a car on the road's high beam hit her eyes.
The next thing he realized the nurse was holding a small child and a lump seemed to form in his throat, he leaned down to Faun kissing her again crieing quietly so not to worry Faun, though if she hear he hoped she would understand why he was crying. He was a daddy.
Farland waited, fauns body takeing a tiny rest before starting to work the second child free. She waited, though the second birth would not take as long.
Faun stoped in mid-whimper, Her eyes going wide and her ears percking twords the sound of the baby before she gave another wail, wriggeling as another contraction wracked her body.
Mili cooed softly to Faun during her moment of peace kissing her forhead again, "It's almost over Faun... just one more... I'm right here..." he continued to hold tight to her hand as her body contracted again. "Breath Faun don't struggle, comon lay still Faun..."
Faun mewled quietly, mimicking the sound of her newborn baby. Nearly 20 minnuts later the second baby was born, slipping free from his mother, and wailing after farland pinched the bottom of his foot, cutting his umbilical cord and wisking him away to the counter. Here red eyes were half closed, but still had the frantic look of a deer caught in the headlights as her mother passed on her second baby to one of the nurses to be cleaned.
Farland, after passing the baby on, skillfully tending to faun, and makeing sure she was alright after a long and difficult birth that had dragged on for hours ( *cough* weeks XD *cough* ) and after she was sure HER baby was fine, she turned to the counter to make sure the nurses had done their job well, leaving the two new parents to a few heart-pounding moments alone.

[The Birth]Mili couldn't help but laugh at the soft mewling sound Faun made along with the child, it seemed akward to laugh in this situation but Faun always had such a cute naive aurora around her that he couldn't help but smile.
Mili leaned down unstraping Faun from the chair so she could stretch, "It's okay, don't get up..." he blinked as Farland shooed him to the side causeing his ears to go level and twitch slightly on the left side. I know your her mother and all but I'm worried to ya know!!!
Once Farland went back to the counter Mili helped to get Faun sitting up beside the stool he pulled over, "You did it Faun..." he smiled, "You gave birth too are two baby boys."Farland shot him a glance back, a look flashing across her face as if saying " you want her to catch child-birth-fever and die do you? then OUTA MY WAY! " kinda look. After makeing sure the babys were ok, and marveling at the two, identical tiwn boys, with they soft littel ears, and black hair, wich she ruefully admitted that they had inherited from their father -and looked rather adorable, before usheiring the two nurses with the babys over to their parents, wraped in soft -fireproof- baby blanckets.Faun, after giveing mili and affeconate but exausted nuzzel, slumped back tiredly... though her eyes flicking warily across the faces of the nurses, even though she knew both of them extreamly well, and to the blacked tuffed heads of their baby boys, eagar to hold them. -strangly feeling only half-whole with them no longer connected to her- Sure Faun couldn't see Mili made a face to Farlands back for being so snipity with him. Some where deep down he was thankfull for Farland being here for Faun and maybe him.... when she was in the mood... and not pissed at him... yah it was gona be a long life with Farland and him being related.
With Farland gone Mili returned the gentle nuzzleing to Faun before smileing to her, "They got your spots and my hair." he chuckled softly as one of the babies ears where twitching in three diffrent ways trying to pick up sound. He grinned ruffleing that one's hair, "I think we'll name twitchy here Jean."Jean in response to his nameing gave a small wiggle and seemed to still beside Faun with a bit of a yawn. His ears still spazzing every which way.

[Fire Babys]
Mili lay curled up some on a sofa in the waiting room, he could finally relax some, or rather not, he couldn't due to haveing kids now! He made sure to keep his eyes and a gently twitching ear on Jean as he played.
Jean gurggled softly to him self as he reached about grabing blocks waveing them about, before droping them with a pout and grabing a new one to replace it. Suddenly he realized he could make the blocks drop and fall farther if he waved his arm before letting go. His eyes went wide in amazment at how the blocks could bounce!
Faun walked down from upstairs, her fur rather damp, even if SHE wasnt the one who had just taken a bath in a littel baby basin.
Zevy let out a sqeal of delight, eyeing his brother.. with.... A BOUNCEING BLOCK! OoO He stared at it in amazement, his littel deer ears spikey, but soft and clean, his hair looking like he had just been through a tornado.
Faun took him over and quickly whiped a diaper on him, and set him down with Jean, the baby wriggeling around happily, eager to be set among the many colored blocks and plush animals.
With a grin, and one eye flicking twords the babys, she wonders over to mili and snuggel up ontop of ihm, her small frame, once again returning to its deer like trimness, hardly a weight at all, though her nails kneeded at his chest happily, almost as if for the moment she were more feline then Pheonix-deer.
Mili smiled watching Faun as she came downstairs and gave a wave to her with a chuckle, she looked a little on the soggy side if not cute as always.
Jean looked to his brother gurggleing quickly and excitedly it seemed as he made another block boucne among the toys and plush around them with a giggle.
Mili smiled and hugged Faun close yelping in a fox like tone as she started at his chest, "Calm down now you calm down! Your still wet! Ack Now I am!"
Faun gave a giggel and shoot her head, sending droplets of water flinging against him, their temperature near boiling from being beaded on her fur and skin.
Zevy turned his mouth into a littel "o" and wriggeled over to jean to closer examin the block that bounced amon the various toys, but his littel hands slipped out from under him as he crawled, send him falling sideways with a sqeak. crashing agains jeans side, as soon as the littel chubby twins collided cavrious non-fireproof toys -the majority of the non-coated wooden blocks- burst into tiny torrents of fire.
Faun was giggeling " I AM calm you silly fo- " she said, stopping in mid-sentance and looking over at the twins with a starteled expreasion, watching as Zevy stared at the littel spirals of fire before bursting into a delighted squeal.

Mili wiggled laughing softly as the boiled water, warm to him splashed on his face. He ruffled Fauns furr gently watching it poof up with a grin.
Jean gave another outburst of giggles as if to confirm that he indeed made the colorfull blocks bounce about. He turned to his brother with a squeak his ears for once dead still as his brother went toppeling in to him with a startled squeak of shock. Almost at once Jean noticed the burning blocks and squeaked in awe and fear, in his mad attempts to get away though another pile of blocks poped in to flames.
"Calm you say my little dooooHOLYSHIT!" he moved Faun quickly beside him hoping up to put out the flameing blocks with a few waves of his hands and a paniced hicup. "Zevy? Jean? Are you okay?" he scooped up his kids hurrying over to Faun again checking them over for burn marks.
Faun sqeaked and collapsed on the ground, quickly scrambeling up onto the sofa, trying to hide her most ungracefull stunt, and yelped at the fire, sence it apeared to be quit different from both mili and fauns fire. She susshed littel jean and helped mili examine the two for burns as franticaly as him, her feathers puffed up, and her ears flat agaisnt the side of her head.
Zevy gave a littel wail as his father scooped him up, pouting his lip and makeing grabby hands, his littel brown-red eyes watering up as the fire was put out, his lip quivering dangerously. crying
Mili ignored Faun's klutz moment, same old Faun mother or not. He settled down with her handing Jean to her while kissing Zevy gently makeing silly faces, "Calm down calm down!"
Jean blinked at his mother reaching up to hug her and clinged tight not sure what just happened.

Quote: Mili sat on the sofa smileing happily as he jotted away at his journal. Things where getting quite peacefull for the time being. Well it's christmas eve, Faun and the kids are curled up in our bed for the night after a nice story about Santa Clause, I guess it was a good thing to since it gave me time to set out the gifts! Both the boys are getting new blocks to replace the ones they burned, Jean's getting himself a nice little plush deer while Zevy gets a fox. I sure hope they stay fireproof...I got Faun a set of candles and insents for the house, to be honest I didn't know what to do for her but I think she would enjoy the scents and the warmth they can give off to her when it gets cold out so we can worry more about the kids rather then keeping our powers around forwarmth. (Which could serisouly lead to a forest fire.... a biiiiiig forest fire...) Also, well, I don't know if she wants to, but I figured Farland would like to spend christmas with us so it was only right to get her a gift, a simple dress, not nearly as expensive as the one I gave Faun but still a nice one for formal christmas parties or the wedding. Well I'm off to bed, I'm sure I can get Zevy and Jean to wiggle over and make me some room on my side of the bed... odd... every thing in this house likes my side of the bed... Quote: Mili shut the book smileing at the gifts under the tree before giveing a yawn and heading to bed.

Dear Diary.
Today was a rather odd day, and i think it was easy to say that we all leaned something.
I, for instance, learned that mili and baby diapers are a bod combonation.
Mili, on the otherhand, learned, never to grab by ear while angery at me, for we deer have sharp hooves.
And both of us learned, that our children, ontop of being overly adorably and blessed with overly snuggely ears, are also diaper clad pyros. And no, Diary, i am not refering to the fact that they can light things on fire if they get scared or angery. But today, while we were outside, Sevy lit a butterfly on fire. -heart-broken sniffeling-
Mili also seems to think that he, being the main flamable target of the littel ones, dosnt get diaper duety. WRONG. His toes may be singed. But my boobs hurt. So he can just dear with it. heart
Also, the dear littel babys seem to be mastering the infamous "baby talk". I realy wish i knew what they were saying... but on the otherhand, i may be even more worried if i DID know what all that blabbing ment. Ontop of that they have learned to crawl-walk. Im guessing its from the fact that they have alot of deer DNA? I mean, deer can stand hours after they are born, so i guess that it would make sence for the babys to be able to stand at about a month old?
But anyway, we are a happy, yet odd, littel family, and we are realy hopeing that the babies will stop lighting their Papa's socks on fire... we are starting to run out.
Well, anyway, i guess that should be about it for now,
Love ya!
Faun heart
P.S.
Ill start writeing to you more diary, promise heart

Totaly ignore that last entry, sure Faun's right about the hooves those are rather painfull but no way in hell am I gona be set on fire by the kids AND burn my sense of smell when the kids need a change!
She think's I should ware fireproof cloathing, easy for her to do she dosn't feel it through her furr! It's ittccchhhyyyy!!!
On a lighter note it seem's Zevy is doing very well with controleing fire, Faun might not like Zevy seting butterflys on fire but at least he's not like me when I would set the back yard on fire while playing hide and seek.
I need to buy more socks... better go see if Chubs stole one again to use as a hideing spot, last pair I put on I almost smushed the poor guy... er thing...
-Mili
I feel like Tacos tonight....

Aha! So this is where I left the book, no wonder me and Faun couldn't find it. Never bothered to check under the back deck. Can only wonder how it got down there.
Things are going well, Faun's been running around like a headless chicken trying to help Farland with all the new kids being born all of the sudden.
This of course leaves me plenty of time to play 'Find the kids with out them setting my feet on fire' which of course results in me haveing to wear flipflops alot since I've ran out of socks. At least this pair of flipflops arn't completly burnt yet...
The infamouse baby talk seem's to be getting more complex, yesterday the kids decided to scale the kitchen counter useing blocks and drawers. When I found them they where both babbleing and pointing to the lack of blocks before crawling away to hide.
Kids, you gota love them even if they are flameing little balls of trouble.
