Booster Shot and Appointment RP with Clinc Staff
As healthy as she knew her children were, it was still important to take them to the doctor and ensure that they were growing correctly and everything was fine. Both were walking; Lici was babbling nonstop and Toby was barely speaking unless he had to. She and Xearus had long ago come to the conclusion that Toby saw no need to speak when Felicity did his talking for him. She'd made a habit of addressing questions directly to her children by name so that both would gain their own chance to respond but sometimes it was nice to not have both twins begging for juice or something like that.
Buckling the two into carseats, she brushed her fingers through their hair and handed over cups then smiled. Little vampires were still sleepy having been just pulled from their cribs. It was about time to get them toddler beds as well though she didn't fool herself into thinking that they might sleep separately. They'd learned their lesson with the double crib fiasco. Handing over teething rings to occupy the little fangs that seemed to have a mind of their own, she settled in the front seat and nodded to Xearus.
When they arrived, she opened the back door to her Explorer and extricated her daughter from her seat, setting the child on her hip and hoisting diaper bags. Maybe the should have brought a stroller? Nah, they could keep Felicity and Thobias entertained before the appointment time. As usual, the Calder family was early.
The gentle movement of the car worked wonders at putting him to sleep much like a bit of time in the rocking chair had when he was a baby. His head lolled on his shoulder, juice barely held in one hand, draped over the side of his seat, his little body snuggled beneath the blanket his mother had used to cover him. He fussed slightly as he was moved and the cool air of late winter slapped at his face.

Her puppy was being suffrocated in her hold as he was cuddling him in her semi-sleep, resting cheek to cheek with the plush. She loved him so. In her other hand, she gripped her teething ring which was halfway in her mouth with one fang in it. Yup, she didn't like to be idle did she? even when she was half asleep. A little noise of protest though in high pitched fashion as she was disturbed and then resovled to cling to her mother's coat.
He gave a soothing noise to his son as he pulled him from the car, blanket and all and shut the door, pulling the boy's little jacket collar up some to cover his cheeks somewhat. "Yeah I know, the cold is nasty isn't it?" Waiting for Sam before walking into the clinic behind her with a nod to the receptionist, walking over to give their names seeing as they were expected and then over to the waiting area. Taking his son's coat off and stashing it away, he set the boy down on the floor between his kness as he sat down to wait. "Have plenty to report don't we? And remember...don't get upset if they insinuate something bad happened because his eyes paled out to gray. We'll just explain it as it really is." That was some file information that would need to be changed...Thobias' eyes were gray not green as they were when he was born.

She soothed her daughter, zipping her purple coat and carrying her inside, along with the blanket. She let Xearus handle the receptionist and carried her daughter in, settling down in one of the plastic chairs. It took a moment to get the child's coat off and she wrapped the blanket around her and settled Felicity back in her lap to see if she'd go back to sleep. "I know but if those insinuations claim that we're at fault, I'm really not going to be happy." And if they wanted to test him for everything under the sun, she wasn't going to be happy either. She didn't care if it was a rare phenomenon or not.
Independent as always, he stood between his father's knees, chewing on his ring for a moment and then plopped down on his bottom, glancing around with big wide gray eyes. Tugging on his father's pantleg, he glanced up. "Bocks." There were toys in the clinic but they weren't his and he wasn't sure if he was allowed to play with those or not. Plus they were next to a lady who didn't look very happy to be there.

Selma glanced up at the pair, looking at them a bit uneasily. The fangs kind of freaked her out. Since she wasn't exactly the most open minded person (and happy that way) she just pointed to a seat far away, wnating the pair away from her now. She didn't want to be near a bunch of murdering vampires.
"The doctor will be with you soon." she simply told them shortly and went to her computer again, trying to look VERY busy.

She was happy to stay curled up in her mother's lap with her blanket, though a little more awake now, she was watching her brother as he seemed a bit more awake now. Meh, she wasn't ready to be awake. A look to her mother though with that pleading manner. "Juicy please mommy?"
"Well, I know you won't be, I'm just saying that it's best to just expect such things. It's recorded into my family history anyway. I just really wish it skipped him over." Yeah he didn't like that it passed on, but hey at least it was merely an odd color thing than anything that was going to affect his vision. His own gray eyes turned down to his son at the tugging, a look over to the blocks in a bin, and he gave his son a nod. "Sure you can play if you want."

She glanced down at Felicity and then reached down into the bag beside her chair and pulled out the purple princess cup for Felicity, handing it to her and then shifting her body so she was almost in a sitting position. "Drink it slow and make sure you tell me if you have to go potty." Little ones and bathrooms went hand in hand after they woke up but they hadn't visited the porcelain wonder yet today. She made sure her daughter was happy and then shrugged. "I like your gray eyes and I think they look marvelous on him too."
He just gave his father a wide-eyed look and shook his head, clinging and tugging again. "Daddy...Bocks." Then frowning since he still wasnt' getting what he wanted. "Please?"
Sam glanced at Thobias who had that about to cry look and then shook her head. "Don't let him play with those," she hissed softly. "We don't know where they've been. I packed him a few in his diaper bag." Which wasn't really a diaper bag anymore since both toddlers were potty trained but more of a catch-all full of snacks, toys, changes of clothes, pull ups and anything else Sam needed or wanted. She'd begun carrying it in lieu of another bag almost.

Ronchas walked down the hallway, responding to the silent call by Selma. She didn't really want parents to know she could call Ronchas if she wanted too, then they'd expect her too when they arived, which is idiotic. She had no desire to do anything she didn't want to do, but, the latest couple had a double negative. First they were vampires, something that scared Selma, second they had little babies. Babies cried, and made noise and were annoying. Oh no, she didn't want to deal with babies, or vampires but definately not baby vampires.
Ronchas did though. He grinned brightly as he walked up to the parents.
"Hello, hello!" he called out happily, "Happy family yes? Oh beautiful kids, beautiful kids." Ronchas cooed, grinning down at the children and then the parents. Vampires...perfect. "Come with me, come with me. I have some questions for the new family. Follow, follow!" he urged, leading them to his office.

She nodded, happily drinking her juice and more or less behaving herself...for the moment anyway. She was most calm when she first got up anyway.
Another look down at the tugging and he patted at his son's hair to perhaps calm any upset and tried not to roll his eyes at his wife. "It is a clinic...safe to assume they disinfect things every three hours or so." Thusly handing his son a toy from the bag to keep him busy till it was their turn. His own attention turned upward to the doctor of the day...the one he believed to be Ronchas from the various paraphenelia around the clinic. A raise of an eyebrow...was he repeating himself excessively. "Come on you two." Picking up his son and carrying him, following after the doctor to the office.
Felicity blinked at the new man that had come up...hm, he sounded fun. His voice made it that way at least. And he said they were pretty...which was a compliment she completely took for herself and soaked it all up...silently of course. Mommy said it wasn't good to brag. But she had given him a wave before mommy got up with her and they were walking down the hallway.

She knew the possibilities but refused to take chances. Yes, germs were good for little ones but you just never knew. Glancing up at the doctor she identified immediately as Ronchas, she nodded and picked up her daughter then followed him back. "We'll be happy to answer any questions you have for us doctor. We haven't met yet. I'm Sam and this is my husband Xearus. And these," tickling Lici's tummy. "Are our beautiful twins, Felicity and Thobias, thanks to you."
He held the dinosaur he was given and made growling noises, playing quietly by himself until his father picked him up and carried him off after the strange man. His sister seemed okay so he just blinked warily at him and then rubbed his eyes. "Rawr."

Ronchas grinned over at them. Oh wonderful, nice vampires! Just what he needed, no sarcasm intended. He could tell, since it was day out that they weren't as weak to obvious things like sunlight and things. He's have to ask about such weaknesses like that. He'd really need to know such things about their children.
"Such a pleasure to meet you, such a deep pleasure." Ronchas agreed, turning to shake both of their hands once, even reaching down to ruffle the children's hair, smiling over at the tiny vampires. His latest children, and what powerful parents they had...perfect, oh so perfect.
"Please, please, my office." Ronchas escorted them inside, closing the door before he went to his filecabnet, he pulled out their file and opened it up. "I have some questions people, just some quick questions."

Okay...yeah he was the one with fangs and he was a tad creeped out. Or maybe it was slightly annoyed by the repeating thing. Psychologist self trying to get into the way. Following into the office, he sat down in one of the chairs before the desk, setting Thobias in his lap for the time being. "Question away as you wish." Pulling his sunglasses off his head and tucking them away in his pocket to be polite.
She made a noise at getting her hair ruffled. Now it was messed up. She didn't think she liked that at all...she liked it when mommy fixed her hair just right. Thus a little huffy noise from her, but that was soon forgotten and she tended to emptying her sippy cup of its contents again, watching the doctor.

Sensing her daughter's distress, she lightly brushed her fingers through the child's hair and then reached into the bag, pulling out two clips to hold it back from her face. It was about time to get a haircut again. Studying Ronchas as another professional, she made a few mental notes about their illustrious doctor. He had a few neuroses but doctors often did. The job was stressful and there was a lot to remember, a lot to take in, and a lot to be responsible for. She wasn't going to judge him on the basis of a few repeated phrases.
"I'm assuming Dr. Bowen made notes in our files about the information we gave him on our own selves, being vampires and all? We told him that we aren't the sort you might read about in a horror story or see on a badly done drama film. Other than that, indeed, question away."
He moved his dinosaur as if it was going to bite the doctor but settled in his father's lap and began looking around. Hey! He knew this place! It was just like Mommy's work which meant that they'd get to hold the fun squeezy thing and make the long thingy beep and swivel in Mommy's chair. They might even get to play with the phone if they were good. Thus he sat very still in Daddy's lap until he caught sight of his watch and began playing with it once again.

Ronchas flipped though the other notes. Oh he studied them before and would again. He knew everything on all his patients. He always would. If it was in a file, it was also in his head. Still sometimes it was nice to read what he already knew. He glanced over the information then smiled up at them. The man seemed annoyed and almost unerved by him, the woman though seemed...welcomeing of his differences. Both reactions pleased him greatly.
"How long are they in the devolpmental stage? They seem to be very infant like, very infant like. Can they talk, walk? Are they potty trained? Do they have a favorite parent? Or at least one they connect with, connect with? How do they interact? Have they made any friends, any friends??" Ronchas asked, leaning close to look at the babies.
The little boy seemed unwilling to really sit still long but was being quiet. The girl seemed almost afraid, so Ronchas gave her a warm smile and patted her head, maybe a tad hard for a baby but the action seemed innocent.

"They're walking, talking, running around, potty trained, already starting on their colors and numbers and such. They're pretty much the same with both of us and last week they made some friends. Another set of twins at the park. They're just a bit tired and what not seeing as we just got them up and the sun is an energy sucker still some. We're trying to get them a tad more adapted to daylight hours than Sam and I are." Setting his son down and holding out his hand for the toy before a point to Ronchas. "Why don't you say hi and be nice? Hm?"
Another nosie as he touched her hair again. He probably messed it up again, but with one hand coming off her cup, she reached up and grabbed him by the wrist in that toddler like way, holding onto a moment. She had that contemplation about biting look and well his fingers were right that and she had that odd craving for something. Of course that all happened in a few seconds and sure enough...Ronchas as little toddler vampire fans in his finger and she was sucking blood more out of instinct that being hungry. Hey he put his fingers there.
