"I'm coming," Donovan muttered giving Kara a look that he didn't mean as he rose to his feet.
He put an arm around her shoulder, it didn't mean much to most people, but it was a way of him saying he didn't really mind. He was afteall quite aware even as he was falling in love that Kara loved children. And her kids weren't so bad, it was like being in a clan all over again only without the politics.

Triton rose from the couch with a grin, "Well might as well see who these new family members are, even if they aren't born yet."
He mused on this thoughtfully, well this should be interesting, more children.

Elnara laughed. "Well, I've just put them in my room for now," she smiled. "So Kara, you'll have to take yours ..." She started towards the stairs, and as she passed Celebor, she ruffled his hair. "And it's not two sisters you'll be getting," she told him with a wink. "It's a brother and a sister." Celebor's eyes grew even wider and brighter - impossible though it may have seemed - and he cheered, pumping his fist into the air. "YEAH! I'M GETTIN' A BROTHER AND A SISTER!" he hollered; and he let go of Serenity's hand and slipped in front of everyone else, and bolted for the stairs.Skye had no problem with the sudden change in altitude; in fact, she grinned up at Lore cutely and patted one of his shoulders and asked, "Skye sit on you sho'der?" She looked up at him though huge, begging eyes.

Serenity had no idea where she was going, but she got ready to follow all of the others. It would be quite a lineup apparently ... more people than there had been going down the stairs when she had first arrived.

Kara laughed a bit as she followed Elnara up the flights of stairs, "Be careful Celebor," she called out.
He was so excited but then again he was surrounded by girls, so it was only fair.

As Lore carefully and slowly walked up the stairs he looked down on Skye. He had to admit it would be much easier for him to go up if she did sit on his shoulder.
"Okay, but be careful," he told her, not wanting her to fall and hurt herself.

Donovan mused a bit watching Kara, already planning out the room and other objects needed. Since he was the planner and that was his job anyhow.

"I'll be okay!" Celebor's voice drifted back to the others even as the pounding started that indicated he had started running up the stairs.
StompstompstompstompstompCRASH!
"Ow!"
A pause.
"I'm okay!"
And then the stomps continued.Elnara shook her head slowly, but her expression was amused as she led the way. Skye giggled and fluttered her wings a bit, and climbed up to Lore's shoulder. She had no trouble keeping her balance - she had been doing this type of thing since she had been born - two months and nine days previous. She put one hand on Lore's head to help keep her balance, and with the other she took a fistful of his clothes.

"Poor boy, his legs are going to be bruised before he even grows again," Kara giggled a bit as she could see the top of floor coming into view.
She did hope Celebor was alright, but at this point he seemed to be numb to most forms of injury.

"He's always bruised," Elnara laughed. "It's a wonder people don't accuse me of beating him. But that's just the way he is - full of energy, and completely unstoppable."
As they reached the top floor, Celebor was already out of sight - but they could hear him though Elnara's open doorway, laughing and chattering excitedly - in elvish, a habit he had gleaned from his mother.
"Which ones are my brother and sister?" he asked eagerly, popping his head out the door. "They're pretty! Two of 'em are like Skye's vase and one's like mine and S'renity's!" And as quickly as he had appeared, he disappeared into the bedroom once more.

"At this rate, your two angels might learn elvish while still in the proverbial womb if Celebor keeps chattering to them like that," Kara commented, though she had to wonder how the Seconds started out in their defaulted language.
She hurried along wanting to take a peek into Elnara's room ,she knew which one was hers. The human one of course.

Elnara laughed as she led the way into her room, and simply to make sure there was enough room for everyone she sat on her bed and budged over to make room for someone else as well. The three vases were in the middle of the floor: a tall human vase, blue and black; and two of the short angelic vases: one red, white and black, and the other blue and white. Celebor was behind the vases, still chattering at them excitedly, hopping from one foot to the other as he tried to peer inside.Skye's eyes grew wide and she reached for the blue and white vase. "Skye vase!" she said brightly, leaning forward on Lore's shoulder. Then she paused and tapped Lore on the head to get his attention. "Skye vase diff'ren'," she told him, her brow furrowed with confusion.

Serenity followed the others into the room and stood back in a corner, staring silently at the vases. They were beautiful, to be sure - but the idea that a child might come out of them, as if from a womb? She couldn't quite wrap her head around it.

Kara happily skittered over to the vases and picked up the tall one, the one that was to hold a human. She hugged it happily before walking over to Donovan, she looked up at him, "Name her," she told her love calmly.
Since she got to name all of her chldren so far, she thought Donovan should name a few.

Lore smiled in realizing that Skye too had never seen a Second before he or she was born, he leaned closer to her so he could explain, "Those are your brother and sister's vases," he told her slowly.
He had no name to put to them though, so he hoped she wouldn't be horribly confused.
