There was never a dull moment in the Song household. With five kids (six if you counted Lily who frequently visited) and growing there was no room for anything but hustle and bustle...
The current to do as of late was not only the arrival of Harley and Hannah but also the recent growths. If they didn't know better Vlad and Kaida would have sworn it was something in the water... With the exception of new arrivals everyone was getting in on the action of getting bigger!
Tori having her own 'issues' was currently doing her best to avoid everyone as much as possible... unless of course it suited her.
Vlad who knew it was best to not be constantly alone when life was upside down inside out was doing his best to keep track of his daughter... a task he was finding near impossible. Today of all days he'd set out to visit what he knew to be all of her regular places.
He'd found himself at the Curio Shop. The last stop that should have been the first and most obvious (after all Kay was frequently here)...
Vlad stepped in and to his disappointment the shop was empty. He wondered for a moment why the doors would be open if no one was 'in'. Then again this was this shop and it did have a crazy mind of its own...
He headed towards the desk so that he could leave a note for Switch so that when she came back if she knew anything about Tori's whereabouts that she could get a hold of him to let him know. However, his attention was diverted. Laying on the desk was a dusty old dvd and a note... "Thought your kids might like this." It was signed by no one. Having forgotten his purpose he picked it up shrugged his shoulders and left.
He glanced over his shoulder when he heard the shop lock its own doors...
Vlad returned home without news of Tori but with a new-to-them DVD. He had done his best to dust off the cover but most of it was permanent. At least he had the name of the DVD- The Last Unicorn. He smiled. How fitting for their family... There was just one problem, they lacked a DVD player. They had a 1980's television set and had no intentions of upgrading it.
Not that any of that mattered... The DVD came from the Curio shop and Vlad knew that could only mean one thing. He just half wondered why the note was written the way it was... Why couldn't it have just said, "here have another kid".
Not wanting the kiddo's to get excited about the movie he sat it on the dresser, out of site.

Journal Entry,
I half wonder if Switch intentionally was not at the shop today because she feared how we would act when it came to taking another item... She knows we have the saying of "always room for "one more but damn...
After returning home with another item from the Curio Shop I am very positive that we are expecting another child. How do you break it down to the wife that there is another unplanned kid joining the family. It should be easy by now considering that is how our family seems to grow.
There is no easy way to break the news so I went ahead and started preparing a room. Thank Heaven this house has plenty of rooms. I am starting to wonder if my mom planned ahead. There was no way she knew who would need it most. I'm just glad we have it. It is nice to have plenty of space and a nice sized yard. I cannot imagine being back in the space above the cafe with the amount of kids we have... We'd be stacked on top of one of another.
I am sure once Kaida sees the room she'll put one and one together to get two... I know she'll question. She may be frustrated at first but I know we'll both be laughing in the end. After that it comes down to telling the other kids. They have been very excepting thus far so I don't see why this time would be any different.
All we can do now is wait and imagine what this kid will look like and act like... I hope we don't have a clash of personality.
Note to self... String Switch by her toes later...
