Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ducky clicks her tongue against the roof of her mouth as she measures and stir in fresh lemon juice to make lemonade for the others. Its pretty much the only drink she knows how to make from scratch. Not a big cook, is she and burns a lot of stuff she makes in the past. So for today, she just put out a plate of fruit from her mother's garden and a large pitcher of lemonade with cups surrounding it on a platter. "Junior... your parents should be here soon enough! I invited Zoe over too. My mom and dad are gone for a while though," she said and brought the platter into the spacious living room and set it on a home-made low table.

Jester toddles around, moving his toys from one space to another wobbling on his chubby legs. "Mine.. Mine.. Mine," he said, one after another of his precious toys.

Hortense was in her little rocking crib along with Sari. Her eyes were mainly watching the big yellow thingy doing something one after another.

Junior had been pacing since they woke up that morning. He really didn't want to see his mother, let alone tell her that Ducky and him had taken in two children with two others on the way. But at least there would be his father and brother along with everyone from Ducky's side of the family. "Thank the guardians... I want her off my mind as soon as possible." He mumbled, looking at the door when it was knocked upon. "I got it." Junior stated and walked to the door, "Welcome! Nice to see you Zoe."

Bneut sat in the corner, watching Jester move his toys around. Jester was scary! "Lady!" He called, seeing Zoe walk in the door. He couldn't say much yet, but he still knew that she was a lady.

Sari was sitting up, watching Bneut. She felt kinda sorry for him cause he looked so funny. When Zoe walked in the door she looked up and tried to wave.

Jester blinks as he saw the green thing being planted near his toys. HIS TOYS! His chocolate brown eyes ever warily of the little girl, his wings twitch as he made a slow movement to his toys. "Mine!" he barked at the little girl and backed up all the way until he tripped on one of his toys and landed in the pile of his toys. "OwUCH!"

Hortense looks from the basket only to find yet another YELLOW thing. "Ah.." she said slowly, her eyes getting wider as Dameon got closer.

"Oh hi guys," Ducky said pleasantly as she poured her home-made sour lemonade into cups, then looks around. "Bneut.. come over and help mommy ok?" she asked, then quirked her eyebrow at Jester's behavior and only rolled her eyes. "Jester... we know you're not hurt. Come on.. youre being rude. Say hi to your grandpa and your uncle and your aunt too," she muses.

Jester peers out of the pile of toys, nothing but his eyes could've been seen. He did had that many toys in fact! "MY TOYS!" he bellowed then watched what the adults would do.

Junior waved back at Zoe, welcoming his brother, father, and little sister in. "Hi Dad, sup Shage? He smirked, Jester was watching his toys around Cressy. "Jester, why don't you try and share?" Junior asked, before looking at Shage again. "Let see, Starry, you Dad, Cressy, Wednesday, Jet, and Zoe, but if grandparent show up everything gets moved outside cause our house couldn't hold that many people and pae." He said, showimg them about for a moment. "Dad, any idea where Starry is?"

"Right here Junior." Starry said from the door way. She had brought a decent sized basket. "And I come bearing gifts for all the little ones, and the two big ones from the entire family!" Starry giggled, knowing that the boys would have forgotten to bring anything.

Bneut walked over to Momma, "Can help?" He asked, nearly tripping over Jester's large pile of toys. His were all in a toy box stacked nice and neat. "How?"

Sari started crying when the big blue thing came in the door. She didn't like big blue things with sparklies, they were scary! "Da!" She called, wanting him to protect her from the big scary thing.

Jester stared at Cressida then got hit by a toy. "EYY!!!" he pouts, then followed Shageki from the toy pile. "Gifty...?" he said slowly, then waddled up to Starry. He then looked up at Starry then whined, then automatically attached himself to her leg.

Ducky smiles as she got the gifts, looking down at the pies then at the blanket. "It's beautiful Zoe.. thank you," she said as she set them both down and gave her sister a hug. "Thanks for coming. Sorry... it's a bit hazardous in here," she said as she chuckles, then looks down at Bneut. "Why don't you give aunt Zoe here a glass of lemonade and help Daddy serve the drinks. Can you be mommy's big boy and do it for me?" she asked sweetly of Bneut.

Hortense stared at Sari, then looked over at the congregation. "Ahh.." she cooed curiously at the whole group.

"Starry you really didn't have to..." He said, picking Sari up out of her crib. "You got big all of a sudden.." Junior looked at her, she wasn't small anymore, she was a toddler. "Ducky, we got toddlers!"

Starry looked at Dameon, "Love, if you would have remembered to bring anything what would I be here for?" she said before looking down at Jester. "Well you must be Jester, I have just the present for you, but you have to say please first." Starry smiled digging in the basket for the toy she had brought for Jester.

Bneut looked up at Momma, "Otay!" He said, taking a glass from the table. Slowly he walked it over to the big pae that looked like Momma and handed her the glass before running behind Daddy's legs. "Sowwie big me now?" He asked, looking up at Daddy.

Sari stopped crying, looking around the room. "Boo thing scawwy!" She said pointing at Shageki and then at Starry. Starry seemed less scary than Shageki did for some reason though. "Pople ting nice!" she said in reference to Zoe. Zoe looked nice

Hortense stared at each pae'il in the living room, studying them under scruntiny. The big yellow thingy looks gullible to her, she pouts then was pulled out of her crib by her mother then set on the floor. She then toddles wobbily on her legs over to Dameon then looks up, tugs on him and waits to be picked up. She had her arms up in the air.

Ducky smiles lightly as she shook her head. "I guess so," she giggled then smiles at Zoe, then looks at Bneut and gave him a small cup so he can be occupied. "This is Sari.. Hortense.. of course you know Bneut and Jester," she said as she looks to each toddler.

Jester looks impatient as he dances on the floor around Starry, in front of her no less. "Gimme?" he said, not wanting to say please since it sounded wimpy to him.

"Don't worry Bro, she just doesn't like the way you look." Junior said, walking over to Starry. "Sari, say hi to your grandmomma." She was just starting her speach lessons, and what better time to have her show off her skills than infront of her family?

"Hai!" Sari said, more to Dameon than to Starry. "Da!" Sari pointed to her granddad, who looked so much like her real dad did.

"I feel older, our youngest son has toddlers." She said to Dameon, putting a hand on his. "Now Jester, you have to say please to get your gift." Starry insisted, waving to Sari. It seemed her granddaughter didn't like her much.

Bneut took the cup Momma had handed him and walked over to Daddy. "Dwink!" He said, trying to put the cup in Daddy's hand. "Dwink Daddy dwink!"
