Aylana sat in front of her fireplace at her apartment wrapping the last christmas gift. Her long curly black hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail. Dressed in a pair of jeans and a light blue sweater, she was humming along to the christmas music coming from her iPod. Glancing over she chuckles before she leans forward "Cielra I don't think your suppose to do that sweetie."
Cielra peeks her head out of the empty bag, her greens eyes looking up at her mother as she mews. The kitten had grown some, making it easy for her to move around on her own. Although she still stumbled some on her own paws.
Loud talking could be heard from her kitchen as her Diana and Drac were busy making sugar cookies. Drac in her normal attire of black leather pants, with a dark green sweater. Her hair hanging loosely around her face. Diana in a pink sweater and a long light blue jean skirt. Both girls busy talking about guys, that they seem to be off in their own world.
Virendra was the only one that stayed close to her mother. Dressed in a long green velvt dress. She carefully picks up her little sister. Her wings were wrapped around her body, giving her a cloak of warmth.
Aylana chuckles as she shakes her head, it was nice to have her children home for Christmas, but apart of her couldn't help but then back to another person. With a soft sigh she looks down at the gift she was wrapping. She wanted to give it to him, but she wasn't sure when she would see him again.

Kumoru sat with his children around the small fake Christmas tree he had purchased a few days before. It was decorated with little trinkets that Donat had made, and was fake enough to have lights built in to the wired branches. But it suited the purpose, the necromancer figured, because all of his children seemed to be enjoying themselves at once for a change.
He had given them all their gifts, and was sitting back to watch them for the moment. Bhel played with a new chunky plastic toy truck. Donat tried on his new kneepads and wrist guards, glad to have new ones since his old ones did not fit anymore. Arlyn sat apart from the others a little with a book open in his lap - it was printed in braille, so that he could start to learn to read it. Serif sat with Bhel, still fighting to get the plastic packaging off of a pair of very soft, very safe foam swords (Kumoru still had his doubts as to whether or not that had been a foolish purchase, but he figured he at least had until she got the packing off to relax). And Lucretia could be heard at the sink in the kitchen, filling up her new ice cube trays that would make ice cubes in all sorts of animal shapes.
The necromancer slumped back in his favorite leather chair and rested his chin on his hand, smiling a little. It was so... quiet and domestic and mundane. It left him feeling a little fidgety, almost. He had work to do, truth be told, but a small part of Kumoru would absolutely not let him stick his children with a babysitter on Christmas just so he could get back to work raising the dead.
On the other hand, Kumoru was also not sure he wanted to be completely alone. He glanced at Bhel. ... Gods, Aylana was probably dying, not being able to see her little boy on his first Christmas and all.
"Play nice, I'm going to go make a quick phone call," he told them, and went to go pick up the phone in the other room. The necromancer dialed Aylana's number, and he waited for someone to answer, hoping he would not be interrupting anything.

As the phone started to ring, Aylana glance up. Setting the wrapped gift down, she carefully stands. A mew from Cielra stops her as she chuckles "Mommies isn't going anywhere. Just grabbing the phone Cie." when she see that the kitten seems okay with this then goes back to playing inside the bag, she reaches for the phone.
Flipping her cell open, her eyes widen alittle before she smiles. Her heart actually skips a beat as she puts the phone to her ear "Merry Christmas Kumoru, how are you?"
Diana glances up just as Ren and Drac peek their heads out of the kitchen. A smile forms on each girls lips before they look at eachother. Christmas was the year for wishes and magic to happen. Drac winks at the other two before she slips back into the kitchen.
Diana picks up Cielra and as Aylana turns her back away slips into the kitchen. Holding Cielra on her hip she smiles ot the other two "We need to get those two together. If mum and Kumoru just see eachother I bet this season will kick in."
Ren agrees just as Drac chuckles. Holding her hand up she she rubs at her nose "With our help of course."

"Merry Christmas," the necromancer replied, pleased to hear Aylana's voice again. He realized it had been quite some time since he had last seen her, or even spoken with her, and immediately felt guilty at keeping Bhel away from her for so long.
"I was just wondering," he went on, "If you might like to come over here or something, even if just for a little while, so you can see Bhel for Christmas? Since it is his first one. Or we can do something tomorrow if you're busy today."

Aylana smiles before she chuckles "We were actually just wrapping gifts here. I was going to bring my gifts over for Bhel and you tomorrow. But I'll come over tonight if you like. I hope you don't mind if my girls join though." glancing around she frowns as she attempts to figure out where they all went.
Shaking her head she shrugs as she rest against her couch "We won't stay long this time, I promise. Just long enough to bring over gifts and see Bhel." she didn't speak that she wanted to see him also. After all this time, she was pretty sure that he had moved on. Or at least didn't think of her that way anymore.

Kumoru decided that, since it was Christmas and he was in high spirits anyway, that he could handle some of the teasing that Aylana's girls would inevitably inflict upon them. Seriously, why did they have to act so weird towards him? He could take care of his own kids without their help when Aylana was around, so it was not like there was a need for them to take over for him all the time.
"Sure, that's fine. I don't have anything else planned for us, except dinner at some point, so you're all welcome to stay as late as you want."

Aylana smiles before she nods alittle "Alright, we'll be there soon then. Talk to you soon Kumoru." hanging up the phone, she glances up to see her three older daughters chuckling. Shaking her head Aylana smirks "Alright right you three. I don't know what you have planned, but it won't work." taking a seat back on the ground, she grabs at the next gift that was for her son Bhel.
About ten minutes later, after getting everyone to dress properly. That was a feat itself, seeing as her three oldest didn't like to cover up it seems. Holding Cielra in her arms. Aylana close the door behind her as then locked it.
Diana sighs as she looks over the bag of gifts she was holding "Mum did you really have to buy this many gifts? I mean..." looking up she grumbled before hanging off the bag to Drac.
Drac just chuckles before she wraps an arm around Virendra, resting her head on her sister's shoulder she looks at her mother "Yea, isn't three of these for Kumoru anyways?"
Aylana blushes before she glares at all three of them "That is none of your concern. Now you three will be good?" looking down at Cielra, she chuckels as the kitten swats at her hair.
The older three just laughed, sure they would be good for now.
Moving down the street, they all made their way toward Kumoru's.

When he was done on the phone, the necromancer returned to the Christmas gifts, and finally helped Serif unwrap the pair of foam swords. He laughed a little as the girl jumped, trying to grab them out of his hand, and made sure he armed Bhel before he handed the other one to the bull-boy's sister.
While the two of them gleefully started pounding on each other with the toy weapons, Kumoru went up to his room to fetch a small wrapped box with the gift he had bought for Aylana. Bringing it back down to the kitchen, he set it on the table and joined Lucretia at the sink to help her put her ice cube trays in the freezer. When that was taken care of, he moved back into the living room and settled in his battered leather chair, glancing over his shoulder at the door every time he heard a sound from outside.

Standing at the front door, Aylana moves Cielra so she is sitting on her left hip. Chewing on her bottom lip, she looks back at her older three girls "You three promise to be good right? I don't want any trick going on while we are here." turning away she lightly press the front door bell before taking a step back.
Diana arches a brow before she looks at Drac and Ren. They all three had the 'You have got to be kidding me?' look. There was no way they weren't going to just stand by and not let for magic happen tonight. After all it was Christmas eve, people were suppose to be merry and happy. So why not give it alittle push.
Cielra giggles as she claps her small hands. Looking up at her mother, her small tail swings back and forth behind her as she watches the door. Like most kittens she was curious as to who they were visiting.

At the sound of the doorbell, Kumoru jumped to his feet; Serif and Bhel also simultaneously decided that it would be a good idea to gang up on their father. Laughing a little and trying to fend off the assault of foam weapons with his hands, he made his way to the door and opened it for the ladies.
"Hello," he told them with a chuckle, leaning down a little to prod Serif in the stomach. "Come on in, and don't mind these two. Something possessed me to get them toy swords for Christmas."

Stepping through the doorway, Aylana smiles as she watches her son and Serif fight eachother "If you didn't buy him one, I'm sure I would have later." setting Cielra down, she chuckles as she watches the kitten pounce towards Bhel. Looking up she smiles as Kumoru "Merry Christmas Kumo."
Diana smiles as she holds out the gifts "We have gifts for everyone, seems my mom decided that your whole family need something special." with a light chuckle she moves towards the Christmas tree to place the gifts under them.
Drac and Ren simply smile before they move towards the side. Drac chuckling as she speaks to Ren. Ren just shakes her head as she watches the little ones. Her wings folding behind her back alittle.
Aylana shakes her head as she push her hair from her face "We won't stay long. Maybe an hour or so."
