He smiled when the sentiment was returned, and sat back down on the seat while they handed her their child. His hand lifted and covered his mouth, struck dumb with emotion. There was no point in holding it back now; he was crying. His son was in his wife's arms. He was relieved to see the boy looked a lot better after a good clean-up.. and let out a helpless laugh when Enoh pointed out the telltale ears. They were so ridiculously fluffy; is that what he looked like when he was a baby? He had never seen anything so adorable, so perfect, in his entire life.
Nio rested his forehead against the side of Enoh's head, and stared at their child in silence. He couldn't believe it. He just couldn't believe it.
And now he had to name the little miracle that his wife had brought forth into the world.
"Name? Me?" He sputtered out quietly, letting out a nervous laugh. "I don't know. Let's name him Baby! Baby Love." One might wait for the telltale laughter to follow, but there was none. to a man struck dumb by the moment, it didn't seem like such a bad idea.

Enoh's kitsune ears flattened against the sides of her electric coloured hair after noticing even Nio was crying. Purring happily, she tilted her head to the side and nuzzled him reassuringly; though she could fully understand his tears. Giving the baby's ears another fond little tweak, she was met this time with a small, obviously involuntary yawn, the infant turning to nuzzle against his mother on instinct, his eyes closing as the newborn lapsed into sleep, obviously worn out from his trip into the world.
"Uh huh..." She commented when her husband sputtered, and her crimson eyes rested eagerly on him as he went to think up a name for their kitling. The one he suggested though...well, it struck the woman dumb for a moment. Was he...serious...? "Hm...I don't know...Aurion sounds nice too..." She slyly returned, trying to nonchalantly get him to take back his idea of naming their son 'Baby'.

Enoh knew just how to handle her husband. Her reaction made him think his name was just as valid, but her offer sounded good too.
"Aurion." He repeated, looking at the boy and reaching out to brush a finger across his cheek. The tip of his finger brushed against the boy's nose, and it scrunched up involuntarily at the touch. Nio felt as though he could melt. "Aurion. He looks like an Aurion. That's a beautiful name." His eyes lifted to Enoh, and his heart skipped a beat in excitement. They had a son, a baby boy, and his name was Aurion. Everything else just fell into place.
He looked up at the nurse, and repeated it one more time. "His name's Aurion. No no, not with an O, did I say Orion?" He had seen what she wrote down and corrected her before she could mispell his son's name for the first time. Something told him that wouldn't be the last. Oh well.. everyone mispelled his name, too. God, how he loathed when people called him Neo.
The nurse shuffled off indignantly, and Nio settled back in with his wife and their son. He reached out and took one of the tiny hands clinging to his mother's top, and let it rest in the middle of his own palm. His hand looked enormous next to his sons.
"It's nice to meet you, Aurion. I'm your daddy." The word daddy was broken by a soft choke of tears mixed with laughter.

Enoh mentally sighed with relief as Nio accepted the name she's offered. Really, it wasn't until that moment that she too reflected on the name. She's drawn that one out of her head at random to quell him; but really, it truely did seem to suit their son. "Yeah...I think so too." She smiled, tapping Aurion's silvery-purple ears before sliding her finger down, wiggling it into the chubby hand of her adorable child.
Her heart was on the verge of melting; even in sleep, the boy gripped her finger and involuntarily moved his prize upward, bringing the index digit to his mouth to suck on it. "So cuuute...!" Enoh purred, half-listening to Nio tell the nurse how to properly spell the name.
When Nio sat back down with them, her eyes softened when she heard his voice hitch upon calling himself daddy, and she felt it necessary to introduce herself as well, though Aurion had to have known who she was by now. "Uh huh...and I'm your Mommy...and we both love you so...so much..." While her words were spoken truthfully, she couldn't help the exhausted yawn that emitted from her lips.
Purring, she curled towards Nio with their son in her arms, and within a few minutes, her crimson eyes had closed, allowing her to lapse into the sleep her body needed to recover.

Nio's eyes remained on Aurion, and he failed to notice at first that Enoh had fallen asleep. When a nurse bent over and whispered in his ear he blinked, startled. She informed him that his wife needed rest, and if he wanted he could meet them in the other room and stay with her there. Another nurse slowly took the sleeping baby from Enoh's arms, though Aurion immediately fussed in discontent. Others set the rolling gurney under her, but Nio waved them off.
"Just show me where, I'll take her." He whispered softly, but possessively.
He slid his hands gently under his wife, taking care to pick her up as carefully as possible to keep her from waking. Once he straightened with her in his arms, they led him out of the maternity ward and showed him to their room, and let one of the nurses pull down the bedspread before slipping Enoh into it. He reached his arms out for his child, and the last nurse handed it to him before leaving. The lights turned off, and Nio looked down at his son illuminated by nothing but the light of the moon shining through the open window. Aurion's eyes slit open for just a second, and looked up at his father vaguely, before falling back to sleep.
It was a quiet and magical moment, as he gently rocked while holding his son in his arms for the first time. He smiled, and slid into the bed beside his wife, settling their son between them. There, in the bare light of the night, he fell asleep beside his family, never more content.

--Coming Home (In Progress)-- Nio Love It was late in the day when Nio had finished signing the release papers, and they had insisted on carting Enoh out with a wheelchair. He brought the car around and waited at the entrance for his wife and child, drumming his fingers on the wheel anxiously. A few minutes before, he had been on the phone with Sieanna, and was sure that the whole household knew they were coming home by now. He was jittering with excitement.
Everything looked brighter and smelled nicer after getting out of that hospital. He couldn't wait to bring their baby home and to assimilate him into their family. Enoh Love Enoh hadn't been too pleased at the idea of being carted out of the hospital in a wheelchair. After all, she'd been out of bed earlier this morning! What did hey take her for, anyway? Bah! Maybe they were just insane, or maybe all other women were still to weak to walk after giving birth. No doubt they already knew this, but Enoh was far from a normal woman. "I can walk by myself, y'know.." She murmured to the nearest nurse, who gave her some lame reply that she'd given to anyone else who said this to her; she said it was hospital custom and that it had to be done. Though she wasn't happy about it, she eventually let them cart her out without too much grumbling.
It also helped that they let her hold Aurion the entire time. Perhaps that was the reason she ended up letting them do what they wanted without grumbling.
Luckily for her and the baby, especially for the baby, the sun wasn't all that bright by the time they were allowed to leave the hospital; the building took most of the setting sun's rays from them. With the help of the nurses, they showed her how to properly put in the babyseat, and then how to put the baby into said seat. Naturally, she already knew how to do this, but she humored them and let them show her; this was probably hospital custom as well.
"I'm...going to sit in the back, okay Daddy?" She giggled once the Nurses had finished their show, and were waiting for her to get into the car. Once more she humored them by accepting their help, and after climbing into the backseat beside her new son, she turned back to them. "Thanks for everything!" Despite how grumbly she'd mentally been with them; they did help her a lot, and they deserved thanks. Waving, she shut the car door and leaned back in the seat a bit, enough to see into the rearview mirror and into the baby seat with her pheripheral vision.
"I can't wait to go home...Everyone's been sooo excited about seeing this baby...!" Purring, she buckled herself in and leaned over, toying with the tips of Aurion's long ears. Nio Love There were so many people trying to help Enoh that Nio decided, for once, to just stay in the seat and let them. It almost hurt to not jump out and help her too, but crowding the poor woman was not the answer. So when she settled in and secured Aurion, he grinned, reaching back and pulling her hand up to kiss the back of it. He was glowing; she had made him so happy. He reluctantly let her go and started up the car, driving not so steadily back home. Without the emergency instinct kicking in he was just a plain old new driver.
Fortunately they managed to get home some time later, and Nio pulled into the driveway. He turned off the car and practically jumped out of it, opening Enoh's door and holding out his arm. "Madam, it would be my pleasure to escort you inside~." Enoh Love Enoh didn't mind the long, careful drive...for some reason, it was very welcome at this point. She'd imagine this would be the only quiet, sane time they would have for a looong time...because the shifter knew that as soon as they stepped through the doors to their house, they would be bombarded by happy kids wanting to congradulate them and hold the baby. It was similar for Mieke's twins, of course.
When the car stopped, she worked on getting Aurion out of his carseat and shifted him into one arm; he was small enough to be held with only one arm, of course. She giggled softly as Nio appeared beside her, every ounce the gentleman he was day in and day out. Making herself look every once the proud lady (though no doubt she still looked tired and a little sore from the birthing), she placed her free arm inside of his. "Good Sir, I would be honored. As long as you don't carry me, put me in a wheelchair, or otherwise do my walking for me." She grinned. Her last sentence was spoken quickly, as if she were listing off the conditions in the same manner a TV add would. Purring affectionately, she got herself out of the car with both arms being taken up.
Naturally, once the pair reached the house, Enoh could hear Vidya through the door, who seemed to be using her last few minutes of power to her advantage. She was crying out something about a piggy back ride, and whoever it was she was talking too (Enoh put twenty bucks on that person being Teivel) must have refused, for she whined something about how Daddy put her in charge. Apparently the answer was still no, so it sounded like she gave up and checked the window instead, giggling up a storm as was her custom.
"You're so m---OH HEY! THEY'RE HOME! They're Home home home!" Vidya's visage appeared and disappeared from the window; it was obvious she was running for the door.
"Well...here we go. Prepare for a raid." She murmured, a slight giggle to her voice. ((Still in Progress))

--Open GMFC RP Part 1-- Prolixity ((Just gonna start up, because RP generally brings folk out of the walls anyway.)) Prox pushed the door shut behind him with his foot, making sure it shut before he stomped the snow off his shoes on the mat indoors. He brushed snowflakes off the hood of Merlyn's coat, as well. "C'mon, kiddo; I hope you're not going to bite the nurse today," he muttered. Merlyn sulked. First, he had been stuffed into this bulky coat, then he had been taken out where it was cold, and now he was somewhere he didn't recognize. He shoved his rubber dragon into his mouth and bit it. Skye Starrfyre The young lad scrunched his nose slightly as he stuck a head topped with bright red locks into the door of the clinic. He recalled being here once or twice... And his mother had mentioned something in a note about taking his other mother to the doctors. Wasn't there a doctor here? He shook his head as he peeked in. "Not 'ere, Lo'Dalen... Dunno where they are." He let his cloak swish slightly about him as he stepped inside. If he was going to hunt he was at least going to be warm... It was bloody cold outside. Whoops... He wasn't supposed to say bloody... But he hadn't said it, had he? Nope. He'd only thought it. Good. He'd leave it that way... Wouldn't want either mum to find out and keep him from adventuring... Arafel Arafel yawned, scooting backwards into the clinic as she rolled the double stroller. "Futoeki, is your brother asleep again?" Arafel grinned to the two, the darker haired boy responding with a noise and a giggle. He didn't really know what anything she said had meant... But she had spoken to him! yay. The baby's mind was soon distracted with gnawing on the stroller bar. Nio Love It was way too cold to be outside for too long! Still, Nio knew that Enoh had been spending so much time with the newborn that she could use an hour or two to herself, despite how much she said otherwise. She and the baby were inseparable since they day they'd brought it home but a few days ago, and the same was true for him. He'd managed to convince her to let him take Aurion out for an hour or two, promising to bring him back as soon as possible. She had bundled the baby up in so many winter clothes, that Nio wasn't entirely sure the baby was -in- there anymore. The gurgling sound muffled under the hat and scarf was all he went by. Aurion was attached to Nio by a big sling that held the boy close to his chest.
He stopped at the clinic, walking inside quickly and pulling the fluffy hat off Aurion's head. "There you are!" He coo'd at the child, who looked up at him in surprise. It had been dark, but now there was light and color and EARS EARS MUST EAT EARS. Aurion tried to reach out for his fathers ears, but his hands were so caught up in winter clothing that he couldn't move. His own ears flopped in disappointment.
Nio looked up and blinked. ".. Prox?" He murmured in surprise, shocked to find his friend here at the same time he was. What a complete and utter coincidence!
((.. XD)) Prolixity Several gusts of cold wind made their way into the clinic as the door opened several time sin succession. Prox looked up from settling himself and Merlyn into one of the chairs in the waiting room. Merl was determined to escape his coat; he was squirming and mewling determinedly and pulling at the garment. Absently, the feline extracted his son from the small coat as he took stock of the new arrivals. A distracted looking boy, a woman he didn't recognize - twins? Poor thing. He nodded to them both with a friendly smile. The third arrival was familiar. "Nio! Hi!" He raised an eyebrow."I see you've been busy." Arafel The woman quickly moved out of the way, to one of the corners to plop herself into a sit, unstrapping the alert of the twins. The boy squirmed as he knew he was going to be taken from the evil contracption that held him still. And like the others had much trouble moving amongst the bajillion layers of clothing. "nnnn" he whined a bit, finding himself unable to move his arms to greet his mother's embrace. Arafel gave the boy a light nuzzle, calming the whining for a moment before unwrapping the child. "Ne, you're like a christmas present!" she grinned at the baby, again.. he had no idea what she was saying. But he liked attention just the same so he let out a happy giggle. Skye Starrfyre He gave one last look around, rubbing his hands together for an added ounce of warmth before ducking back outside where his trusty steed awaited... He'd either find his mum's... Or he'd find a nice cup of hot cocoa at home and simply go to bed. Nio Love Nio made a beeline for his friend, moving to sit in a chair beside him slowly, after making sure he wasn't about to squish any part of his son in any manner. "Hah, busy. You could say that! But I haven't seen you in so long, this is the first time I'm seeing your boy! He's precious, what's his name?"
Aurion still couldn't move, trapped within layers of clothing. His eyes were often distracted by the twitching, flopped ears of his father, but movement and sound nearby to the side made his wandering eyes turn to the father and kit every so often. He still couldn't necessarily focus for too long on anything, but the sounds of mewling caught his attention more than all, and a single ear would rise an inch or so instantly every time he heard it. Whatever it was, it sounded interesting~! Prolixity "This is Merlyn. Thanks, I think he's pretty cute myself." A touch of sadness might have been in Prox's voice, but it was gone quickly enough. "I can tell this one's yours. No doubt about it. What's his name?" He tickled the cabbit-baby's ear, then glanced over to the other person in the clinic, smiling at the unmistakable sound of baby laughter. Merlyn peered at the newcomers. They smelled odd. He took the dragon out of his mouth, declared, "Ba," and stuffed the toy back in. Nio Love "Merlyn! What a name, I love it!" He laughed as Prox tickled Aurion's ear, which twitched instinctively at the touch. Aurion's eyes widened as he caught sight of the great big hand touching his ear, and grew steadily jealous. Bring the ear to me! He commanded the great hand, but it did him no such favor.
"How could you tell?" Nio teased with a smirk. "His name's Aurion. Just about two weeks old, the poor thing. Enoh refuses to let him out of her sight, it's a wonder I got him to myself for the moment." He admitted fondly, clearly smitten with not only the child, but how much his mother loved him.
What was that?! Both of Aurion's ears perked a few inches when the other child let ut a sound, and his head lolled in Merlyn's direction, staring. What was that in his mouth? Bring it to meeee.. he pleaded silently, but Merlyn did him no such favor. He pouted in response. Arafel FUMP. The baby hit the floor, his mother giving a worried yelp. The resiliance of babyfat held strong as he simply laughed, it hadn't been that far of a fall. And yay! he was free. With a bit of concentration he reached his arms to his side. Twist you're body like you've been practacing and.. ta da! He gleed when he was on his belly. Having perfected the great art of rolling over. Then proceeding to attempt the next great art of belly crawling to the noises of mewls and other things. Arafel watched a moment, holding back a laugh as the baby barely made it an inch, and yet continued on quite determined to get across the room to the others. Scouping him up, he made a bit of a protest only to quickly snuggle against the smell and warmth of the wierd figure known as mom while she awkwardly tried to tug the stroller without waking the other. She peered at the two, biting her lip some "Aa.. Sorry to interupt. Futoeki wanted to meet you apparently." Her point was proven by the boy reaching at the blurry figures. Prolixity "He's got his father's cheekbones," Prox said blandly, then grinned. "Aurion, huh? Hi," he said to the baby. Merlyn stared at Aurion. Want what? He kittengrowled. His dragon. Nobody else's. Both felines looked up to the newcomer when she appeared. Prox smiled and offered a handshake. "That's fine. Nice to meet you - I'm Prolixity, and this is my son Merlyn." ((Continued in Next Post))

--Open GMFC RP Part 2-- Ruveila Hokuten The door to clinic opened as a female stepped inside, her footsteps almost silent on the floor. Her wings were folded down her back and her tail curled upwards, the nine stingers on the tip of it retracting much likea cat's claws as she noticed little ones afoot in the place. Her wings were black with white cheetah like spots on them. She smiled at seeing the childrena nd took a seat nearby, conently watching them, a onging in her crimson irises. Nio Love Nio looked down at his son and poked the boy's cheeks, which got Aurion's attention. He turned his head slowly to stare at the offending finger, before opening his mouth and aiming to suckle on it. Nio pulled away just before the jaws of life clamped over it. Drats! He looked up at Prox with a hazy gaze, before his eyes wandered up to his ears. Edible? Perhaps. He should bring his head closer so Aurion could try. But wait, what was this? His eyes lolled down to Merlyn once more, where they settled once and for all. He had just made a funny sound, and that sound made Aurion giggle. His chubby face broke into a momentary grin as the bubble of laughter rose.
Nio's head tilted up once Arafel joined them, before looking down at the child. "Aww, hey there little one! What did you say his name was, Futoeki? Hi there Futoeki! Give me a minute to unravel Aurion from this tent he's hidden under and you can meet him!" He reached out and started to peel away Aurion's layers, an action which satiated the boy greatly. Yes, release at last! Arafel Arafel relaxed a bit, nodding with a smile and letting her hand off the stroller to shake prox's. "I'm Arafel, and yes this is Futoeki," The boy gave a flail that if one imagined enough might have been a wave "And the sleepyhead in the stroller is Iteru. He had a stomach ache lastnight and hardly slept. Nothing serious though. He's just tired..." She stopped herself from babling on nerviously, smiling as Futoeki grabbed at her attention by making little yips and grabbing at her face. She responded with a "eskimo kiss", the baby's hands clasping on each side of her face giving another giggle. The twins were fairly easygoing... Futoeki was happy, and Iteru kept fairly quite and peaceful. And Arafel was more than thankful for the blessing. Ruveila Hokuten Ruveila shyly walks over to the group of parents and children and speaks, her voice rather soft, despite her rather feral appearance. " You all have such adorable little ones." She says, looking each child over then her eyes glaze over a bit. Prolixity "They're both adorable," Prox said, smiling at the twins. "Can't imagine how you deal with two at once. Merl's a handful." Merlyn, tired of being not paid enough attention by Daddy, screwed up his face into an expression of concentration, dropping his rubber dragon as he did so - within Aurion's reach, if the cabbit baby could see it. Prox looked up to the other woman. "Thank you," he answered. "Do you have a child here? Or are you hoping for an appointment?" Ruveila Hokuten " I was hoping for an appointment. I am unable to concieve a child. I blame myself for that.. my race has struggled with fertility." She says, brushing a black lock from her eyes. " My name is Ruveila, nice to meet you sir." She says with a warm smile. Nio Love Nio had just managed to pull Aurion out of the sling he was in, and set him down in one arm for a moment while unloading the clothing with the other, setting it on the chair beside him. This gave Aurion perfect chance to reach out with his newly escaped arms, and stuff his ear in his mouth. A falling plushie caught his attention instead, and his little hand made a grab for it, tiny fingers clamping around the dragon's neck and snapping shut like a bear trap. He pulled it to him, but failed to keep distance a factor and smacked his face with it by mistake. This stunned him to stillness.
Nio turned back up and held his hand out to Arafel. "How rude of me, my name's Nio. A pleasure to meet you! And your twins are precious. Congratulations on the doubled blessing!"
He turned to the newcomer and offered his hand to the woman as well. "Thank you miss!" He let Prox ask her all the questions, focusing on setting Aurion right side up on his lap; only to realize the boy had acquired a new plushie. Or had that thing come in with the stuffing his mother had hidden him in..? Ruveila Hokuten Ruveila held out her hand to Nio as well, nodding to him. " You're welcome sir. Boy cub or girl cub?" She asks, pointing to the child he was holding. Arafel "Thankyou." Arafel blushed a bit, setting futoeki down next to the other baby, making sure he could keep himself upright before turning her attention to the other parents, and hopeful. She remained standing, having learned from the last time she sat next to someone... A wagging tail could be quite a bother. And painful for those around someone. Futokei blinked, glancing up at his mother.. good she was still there. He relaxed, looking arouns him. Focusing his attention on the baby next to him.. he'd really only been around older kids and his brother. So the thought of something else his size intriguied him. Only one thing to do! The other boy was given an investigative poke. Prolixity "Don't be too harsh on yourself," Prox said to the woman. "Sometimes it only takes a little help." Then he felt a little swirl of warm wind and hurriedly shifted his attention back to his lap, where a small grey-tabby kitten was now attempting to make his getaway. "No you don't." Merlyn mewed and scrabbled all four paws unhappily. Foiled! Nio Love "Ruveila, lovely name. Aurion's a boy, actually." The child in his lap had become enthralled with the dragon plushie he had recently acquired, repeatedly smacking it against his father's knee. His efforts weren't hard enough to get his father's attention however, as he just wasn't strong enough for that yet. But wait, what was this? Something was poking him! Aurion's violet eyes rolled to Futoeki, and he bent his head down as much as his father's hold would let him, trying to catch the poking finger in his mouth. Ruveila Hokuten She nodded to Prox, scratching a horn thoughtfully. " True enough. What do you call your little one there?" She said, motioning to Merlyn, pulling a small teething ring from her bag and offering it to him. " I always cared for my sibling's cubs when they had them but I never was able to concieve myself and I long for a child very much.. and I only hope this clinic can help." She says softly, her wings fluttering a bit. Ruveila Hokuten Ruveila blushed a bit, not being used to hearing complements. " It means Wings of Love in my native tongue.. my mother always had a taste for unique names... and Aurion.. what a interesting name. It suits him. So are you a single parent?" She asks, tilting her head to the side slightly. Arafel Futoeki blinked as his tiny finger was consumed by this strange new being. His eyes widened some as he stared curiously, ofcourse Iteru did this all the time.. Or he might have given a suprised noise. But... This thing wasn't Iteru. It didn't smell lik ehim or anything! Oh the mysteries of life. ((Continued in next post))

--Open GMFC RP Part Three-- Prolixity "This is Merlyn." Prox scratched behind the kitten's ear with a fingertip. "Change back for the nice lady, kiddo." He looked up at the second statement. Was that melancholy? "Don't give up," he said quietly. "It's never impossible. Through modern science and magic, if nothing else. It's worth it." Merlyn latched onto the teething ring with all four paws and attempted to bite it. It was a larger bite for smaller jaws, and after a moment he did indeed shift back, somehow managing to hold onto the teething ring. He stuffed it immediately in his mouth as soon as he could, not yet noticing that his favorite toy was missing. Ruveila Hokuten Ruveila nods and smiles at Merlyn. " I figured the youngling there could use something to knaw on.. so daddy doesn't become a chew toy... I have been through the "chew toy" experience many times and its not something I'd be eager to go through again." She says, retracting her claws. Nio Love Sucking on fingers was fun. But not as fun as sucking on long ears that kept flopping into his face. Hey, there was one now! Aurion pulled away from the poking finger and reached out with his chubby little tiny hands, pulling the corner of one of his own ears into his own mouth with a happy gurgle. His father pulled the ear out of his mouth almost immediately.
"Wings of love. That is a beautiful phrase to be named after! And thank you, my wife chose Aurion. Though, I had some good ideas for names too.." The last part he almost sulked out, still feeling a little poutish for not being able to name his child Baby. Or Nio Jr. Come on, everybody loves Nio Jr.! He pulled the other ear out of the outreaching little hands before Aurion could pull that one into his mouth too, and the baby let out a bubble of discontent. "No, I don't think I could have ever created this little angel on my own, my wife is at home taking a much needed little rest. Plus I got to steal him for myself for a little bit, didn't I you little terror?" He spoke to Aurion toward the end, tickling the baby's stomach and eliciting screeches of laughter in response.((Edit: Gnite Arafel!! heart )) Prolixity "Usually he chews on his dragon, but we've been through the whole thing about Daddy's fingers and tail not being chew toys more than once," Prox nodded, smiling. Merlyn bit the teething ring again. This thing was satisfying to chew on - almost better than his dragon. ... Where had his dragon gone? He dropped the ring promptly and looked for the toy. Gone! He began to make the little hiccupping noises that meant he was going to start into a full-out wail if not quickly headed off. Ruveila Hokuten Ruveila smiles and scratches one of her elven ears thoughtfully. " Well you and your wife made a beautiful little one. I never actually thought about names for a child of mine... other than naming a daughter after my mother." She said witha slight nod, chuckling softly at the boy's happoy laughter. " Amazing.. how much you can learn from watching your child greet the world.. who knew that giggle could sound so lovely and that bannannas make the best fingerpaints... oh dear me.. I am going on here.. sorry about that." Nio Love Nio beamed proudly, and grinned at her rambles. "Oh, don't worry about it. We don't know what we're talking about half the time, especially Prox here. Sometimes I'm pretty sure he's not even speaking english." He tugged the plushie away from his son to try and get his attention, as well as refuse to look over at Prox after teasing him. Wait.. dragon plushie? Nio held up the dragon plushie that had mysteriously appeared in his son's chubby little hands, and eyed it. "Wait a minute. Now that I think of it, Aurion doesn't have a toy like this.." He murmured, looking over at Prox. "Has my child somehow acquired your boy's dragon?"
Throughout, Aurion held up his hands, making grabby hands for the plushie that his father held out of his reach. Hey, hey that's mine, I found it fair and square! Ruveila Hokuten Ruveila reached into her bag and pulled out a fuzzy teddy bear plush and held it out to Aurion. " Here you go little one." She gave Nio a gance as if to say "That should distract him." Prolixity "I'd take offense to that if you weren't right," Prox grumbled, bouncing Merlyn to try and calm him down. Merlyn refused to be calmed, winding himself up towards a good, hysterical fit. He was distracted by his toy, though. There it was, in that person's hand! He grabbed at it, nearly unbalancing himself in the process, and stuffed it sulkily back into his mouth. "Yes, that's his," Prox sighed. "He never lets go of it. Well. Almost never." Merlyn angled his ears at Aurion smugly. It was his and his and his and nobody could have it. Just then, a nurse came out from the hallway. "Merlyn Sarihe?" "That's us," Prox said, and stood, hoisting Merlyn onto his hip. "Nice to see you, Nio - come visit sometime, at the shop, I don't know if I told you I'm moving back into my old quarters." He gave Ruveila a quick smile. "Nice to meet you - good luck." He padded back towards the back of the clinic, due for whatever checkup had brought him and the kitten here in the first place. Ruveila Hokuten Ruveila nodded to Prox. " Thank you and good luck with your son."
Nio Love
Nio released the dragon to it's rightful owner without a fight, but Aurion's eyes followed it all the way back to Merlyn, receiving a smug glance. He didn't understand what was going on, but he had no more plushie. At least.. not for a whole second. A bear was suddenly in his view, and his attention turned immediately to it. This would be an acceptable substitute, yes. He made grabby hands for it.
"Thank you Ruveila! That could have been a potentially loud situation, but luckily you were prepared to diffuse it." Aurion merely shoved as much of the bear into his mouth; which surmised to nothing more than an ear.
Nio stood when Prox did, and reached out to pat his friend's shoulder in an affectionate goodbye. "I'll take you up on that! I haven't been to the shop in quite a while. I'll see you soon!" He let the man and his boy head off, before turning to Ruveila.
"Well, I guess this is where I must say goodbye! It really was a pleasure meeting you, and thank you for the teddy! Aurion is very grateful."
He began the painstaking process of re-wrapping his child in his winter clothes, before giving Ruveila a quick bow and waving goodbye. Aurion, with the plushie still in his mouth, could not wave goodbye - as his hands were once more trapped inside the abyss of winter clothing.

Nio's Journal What? Don't look at me like that, you accusingly white page. Where can I find the time to write in a journal with everything that's been going on? It's a wonder I've got a spare moment to sit down and do it now at all. So don't you glare at me with your empty whiteness. I've got a family to take care of! Despite how busy it's been around here, and how noisy, and how messy, I've never been happier in my entire life. It doesn't seem like things can really go this right, and sometimes I worry that something really bad is going to happen to counter it. That's just me being a worry wart I'd say. Aurion's been getting along just fine with everyone in the family, but of course he spends most of his time with Iva. This is out of necessity; when you've got two babies in the house, you tend to keep them together so that you can keep an eye on both of them. It's such a beautiful picture, watching them play together. I haven't stopped taking pictures of them, and we're running out of places to put it all. But they keep flopping on top of one another and pulling on each others ears and just generally cuddling and being cute and THEY'RE BEING CUTE RIGHT NOW BE RIGHT BACK -Okay, crisis averted, picture taken. Seriously though, I love my kids to death. All of them. They and Enoh make me the happiest, and luckiest man in the world. And to think! It only gets better from here.

Enoh's Diary
The life of a Mom is a busy one
Phew, a moment to reflect!
Dear Diary:
I just realized how strange my diary is. I mean...It must be originally used for something else, because it has a space for a title and a sub title. Its kind of freaky, but at the same time...well...its so awesomely cool.
On a different note! I thought life as a Mother was busy before...and whoo was I ever wrong! I'm used to having kids in the house mind you, but with Aurion...life seems so be so much harder! If I'm not tracking down one of my other kids, I'm making sure Aurion doesn't blister his own ears from gnawing on them. Being a Mommie is a tough job, but its one I welcome with open arms!
No matter what Nio says, there are a few kids in the house who aren't very pleased by the arrival of Aurion...but they seem to be keeping that information to themselves for the most part. Its a woman's intuition, naturally. Though I think that aside from one blonde-headed little boy, the others who aren't thrilled by Aurion are the ones who just complain of never being able to sleep through the night anymore.
Its so hard trying to get Adonis to listen to reason...I'm starting to think its hopeless.
Anyway...I love watching Nio around the babies. I mean...he was always so protective and cuddly over the rest of them when they were small, but now that he has a biological son...things just got all the more amusing on my end, even though I agree with every single action he takes. Lets just say I'm glad we have a digital camera, or else I'd be spending hundreds of dollars on getting photos developed. As it stands, I'm only spending hundreds of dollars on ink cartridges. heart
Aurion's been adjusting to life well...aside from the fact that he firmly seems to believe his ears are just chewtoys attached to his head...but then again, he thinks the same way about Nio's ears. My own ears are too small for him apparently, but he has settled with pulling and prodding my hair...which I suppose is a fair trade. Everyday that I see my little boy, he seems to change...and its scary to think that my baby is growing up so quickly...! Geez, I'm starting to think I've gotten worse than Nio has. Ahem. Aurion absolutely loves being around Iva, since she's closer to him in age than anything...her ears are smaller like mine, only they too have Nio's colors (what is it with our kids resembling him more than me? *Sniff*)...and they cuddle and play with eachother as well as they can, considering they're both fairly helpless as it is. In fact Iva and Aurion hold the number two spot on the "Most pictures taken" list, the first naturally being Aurion on his own.
Oops, Aurion's crying again...I'd better go rescue him before someone gets mad!
Later!
-Enoh
