As soon as the sun filtered through Elina's windows, the young woman was busy cleaning. For some reason, she had the irresistable urge to clean the house and redecorate a bedroom. So, as soon as she had woken up, it was cleaning time!
A guest, or two, were coming over soon. So that was just another reason for Elina to start her belated spring cleaning. She had no idea when exactly her guests were to arrive, but she had a feeling they'd come when she was the most into her cleaning. And when her hands would be full. It always happened like that.

Billy walked up to Elina's door, Trent in his arms, and Chrissy trotting barefoot beside him. He got to the door, and knocked, looking down at the girl, who was grinning, and knocked as well. She was eager to see Elina again, he adored having the woman around. You know, only female influence she really got, and they hadn't spent that much time together! It made Billy happy.
He looked down at Trent, who was asleep, all six limbs curled to his chest, his hands over his pincers. Billy wanted to put a blanket on him, but he knew that only made the baby uncomfortable and cranky.

Elina paused in her work when she heard the knock. Of course, right when she had a heavy box in her hands. Blowing back a few stray strands of hair, she called out, "Be right there!" With some difficulty, Elina set the box down carefully and hurried to answer the door.
She was pretty dusty when she opened the door, but had a bright smile on her face. Cleaning felt pretty good actually, not like a chore for once! "Oh hey you guys! You finally showed up!" she said teasingly. "Who's this?" she asked, gazing at the child in Billy's arms. "Is that... wait... the wand!?"

Billy grinned, and nodded, "Yeah. Freaky look, ain't he?" he said, shifting a bit so she could get a better look, "His names Trent." Chrissy was in a most blissful mood, and skipped in a circle around Elina, singing.
"I have a baby brooother, I have a baby broooother. And he is all fiiiishy. And he pinches Daaaaddy."
Billy cleared his throat, then looked to Elina again, "But yeah, I thought you might like the meet the little fiend, so you know what you might be in for," he said, grinning again.

"He's not all that bad looking..." she said, gazing at Trent curiously. He sure did look odd at least... Elina laughed as Chrissy pranced around the older female. "Oh Trent pinches Daddy, huh? I bet that's because Daddy deserves it," Elina teased, smirking at poor Billy.
She quirked an eyebrow at him though when he mentioned 'what she might be in for'. "Do you really think they'll all be so bad? And I doubt little Trent really is such a terrible fiend as you make him out to be. He looks rather sweet sleeping."

Chrissy grinned and nodded, "He pinched his leg, and Daddy squealed like a girl!" Billy looked embarassed at that.
"It hurt...it broke the skin!"
"And it was only a little pinch," she said, grinning and pretending to pinch Elina's leg with both hands. "Pinch pinch pinch."
Billy sighed, but smiled, "He's actually a right sweetie most of the time. Nice and calm. Not like certain little monsters I won't mention the name of," he said, pointedly. Chrissy just beamed.

Elina laughed. Ah, poor Billy! He just wasn't going to get a break, was he? "Well at least he's good most of the time. Maybe he can protect you from this other 'little monster' that you speak of," she giggled.
When Chrissy started to pinch Elina, the woman pretended to be scared. "Oh no! What's pinching at me? I bet it's a big, scary crab! Or maybe a lobster! Maybe I can catch and eat it for dinner!" she said, going after Chrissy, pinching right back at the girl.

"I think they're already starting to team up," Billy said, but smiled, shifting the kraken boy in his arms as he started to stir, his little chubby fingers flexing a little.
Chrissy cried out, then laughed and bounced out of reach for a moment, "Rar, I'm too big for you to catch!" she bounced back forward and continued her 'pinch attack', grinning widely. Billy laughed, shaking his head. What a nutter. The both of them, but it was so very fun to watch.

"You better prepare yourself!" Elina cried, giggling as she squealed and chased Chrissy into the house with her own pinching attack. Her exclamation could have been for Chrissy. Or Billy. Or maybe both; who knew?

Chrissy gave something between a scream and a laugh as she ran into the house, and Billy followed, laughing. He shut the door behind him, and Trent was wide away now, staring around with wide eyes. This definately wasn't where he'd fallen asleep. He started to fuss, wanting to be back in his tank.

Elina paused in her chasing after Chrissy when she heard crying. She scooted over towards Billy. "Oops... Guess we should have been quieter, huh?" she said, gazing at the fussing child. "Aww... I'm sorry Trent; I didn't mean to wake you up."

Trent quieted down when Elina appeared, and stared at her with wide eyes, sniffing softly, one fist coming up to hide part of his face. Billy chuckled, looking down at him, "Don't worry about it, he got plenty of sleep." Chrissy moved over to them, getting on tip-toes to try and get a better look.

Elina smiled sweetly when little Trent covered up part of his face. "Aww, he's so cute!" In an odd... monster sense. Kind of like Hagrid in the Harry Potter books, how he always found monsters to be utterly adorable. Something like that at least. "But still, I'm sure he would have liked to sleep more!"

Trent whined, hiding his face behind his claws shyly. Billy grinned, laughing softly, "Yeah, he probably would have." And monsters are always the cutest. Obviously.
Chrissy bounced a little, speaking up, "We should put him in the bathtub, that'll make him happy again!"

The young woman glanced down at Chrissy. "Bathtub you say? Well... I haven't cleaned it yet; I suppose it'd be alright," she said, smiling. "So long as Billy doesn't mind; or Trent. Though I doubt he will!"
