Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eric quickly nodded his head. "Please do, I'd be lying if I didn't say the issue wasn't on my mind." He answered back, red as she was. Their moment was interrupted by Jack walking into the kitchen. "Ah, don't mind him. I had the same reaction in Jill's later months. You two would like anything in particular?"

"It's alright Jack, we can find something."

"You're my guests, and what's the point of a baker who doesn't make food? It's no trouble at all, really." He said with a courteous smile.

"I make a pretty good omelet.." Jack began to mention a few other foods that he could easily prepare for them, along with some freshly made bread from but a few hours ago. Everything he was mentioning just sounded so good, Eca followed in as he continued, she was still wearing her Pj's and nightcap.

"Dad, just make anything. I'm sure they'll like it." She said with a yawn and a wave. "Morning everyone."

Eric snickered a bit at her complaining and sat down next to her, Eca on Mina's opposite end. "I don't know about that, your weight has traveled a lot lately." She said as she leaned towards Mina's side for a hug.

Eric watched her father began preparing everything. He wasn't kidding when Jack said that he was a baker, he was very meticulous about the foods he was crafting. At times it looked like he played with the food, but all the while was still preparing it.

It was awhile before the food dishes was all prepared, but with the way Jack went about his cooking to entertain, the wait was well worth it.

"You kind of look like a fruit in that sweater of yours." Giggled Eca, she pretended to knock on Mina's belly. "Hello in there, won't be seeing you for awhile, so I hope you'll be out of there the next time I see you." She said to the child within. She wondered what kind of child Nina would be, so much mystery around her.

Jack settled down their plates in front of them and called for his wife. "Jill! Breakfast is ready! Think you can separate yourself from their to join us?"

She walked in soon enough, greeting everyone with a smile and kissed her husband before sitting down to join everyone. "Morning."

"Things certainly have been cheerier with you around Mina. I have you to thank for that. Good luck on you journey tomorrow." Said Jill.

Eric smiled at their conversation, only turning his head to try the food set down in front of him for breakfast. There was so much, but it all looked so good, so he only took a little of everything provided.

He took a bite, it was quite flavorful but not overpowering. "This is some of the best food I have ever tasted."

"Thank you, but I'll leave compliments to the chef as that. My skill is strictly baking." Replied Jack with a bow, his wife however shook her head at that. "Oh come now dear, I'm sure you can branch out if you really wanted to. You really do make good meals."

"I'll put it into consideration." He smiled and joined everyone in having breakfast together. The Frost's didn't have too many guests, so it was a welcomed changed to have Mina and Eric's presence. And of course, having Eca at home again. They knew soon it would be time for her to leave the nest, so it was now that they came to appreciate the time they had with her still being their little girl.

"Last day of the Festival, you should go with your friends Ecalena. Don't mind the work, it will be done today." Said Jill, addressing her daughter. Eca looked at her mother and then Mina and Eric.

"As long as you're sure mother, then I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Eca watched as Mina found the Inventory Box and showed her what she was talking about. Her eyes lit up in delight. "Oh, that one looks pretty." She said as she gazed upon the toy for Mina's daughter. She smiled softly, looking at the toy made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It reminded Eca that Nina was still a child, but also that Eric and Mina were soon to be parents.

Meanwhile, Eric finished up the rest of his plate and were conversing with her parents, their questions made him feel like he was being questioned by Mina's parents.

"I haven't put everything into perspective yet, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there, really!"

Eric nodded his head. "I suppose I had to go into that section sometime." She said with a shrug of his shoulders. The return of the dreaded female section was inevitable. He leaned over to Mina and gave her belly a light patting. "Sure you want to go right away though?"
