((Ok

Eider smiled at the kids before standing back up and brushing off his jeans. "I should probably check on the one hundred or so kids who are running around inside our house," he said to Mavis, rolling his eyes in mock annoyance. He slipped through the door, careful not to let out the animals that were crowded by the back window; Astraea's winged kitten, Quaffle, was fluttering by the door; Jasmine's Elemental creature Electra, the Enfield, was whining at the door; Amy's Peryton, Esprit, was taking up half the kitchen, his enormous antlers scraping the ceiling and his wings folded tightly against him. "Really guys?" Eider groaned, squeezing the door shut and pulling Quaffle out of the way; the kitten was small enough to fit in the palm of his hand. "Esprit, go upstairs to the guest bedroom. Quaffle, where's Astraea? Go find her. And Electra, you should know better. Jasmine's calling for you." He watched the creatures move away, the Peryton squeezing his way up the staircase and Quaffle zooming between people looking for Astraea. Eider walked over to his parents, who were talking to Simon and Amy.

Mavis nodded, Emily hugged her and said "Mami can we sit down?" She asked. Mavis nodded her head "Sure. Come on darling" She led her daughter to the couch. The two sat down. Ella joined them a few moments later.

((If you want her to die off, we could have her. But like maybe something happens so they lose contact (we could timeskip a few weeks) then when Mavis/or somebody finds out Mira was in hospital and she had passed away?

[spioradkitty]

((ok, that's fine with me))

Time Skip ~ 3 Weeks

Mira jerked awake, her memory fuzzy and her vision blurred. I took several seconds for her surroundings to come into focus, and when they did, she was flooded with a wave of memories. The week before, when her boyfriend Solomon proposed to her; 2 days later, when she went to the doctor and found out she had a heart murmur; 3 days after that, when she had passed out on the couch after going on a run and had been rushed to the hospital by Solomon; the next day, being told by her doctor that she had a fatal heart condition; and now today. Why was she alive? Then it hit her: the extreme pain in her chest and the sound of her ragged breathing. She reached for the bell on her bedside table, whimpering in pain and fear. She hit it feebly before collapsing into her pillows, her uneven heartbeat loud in her ears. A nurse walked by the door on the way to another patient's room and spotted Mira, panting in an effort to keep breathing and clutching her chest. "Oh, ma'am, are you okay?" she asked, rushing to Mira's side. "I... my heart... I can't breathe..." Mira choked out, her vision going blurry again. The nurse rushed to the phone and called the doctor urgently, but Mira couldn't make out her words; everything was getting dark. Was someone dimming the lights? Suddenly the pain in her chest disappeared, and a lazy smile crossed her face. She felt someone's hands shaking her, probably the nurse again, but she didn't care; the pain was finally gone. The lights faded out completely, and the last thing Mira saw was the sparkling diamond wedding ring on her finger with her and Solomon's names carved into the silver.

Time Skip~ The Next Day

Eider wrapped his best tie around his neck and tied it carefully. Today was his big day; he was scheduled for a job interview with Google, a job that would pay him millions and help their family more than any of his other jobs had. He slipped the picture of him and Mavis holding the twins at the beach into his pocket and hastily combed his hair, although it didn't do any good; it just sprung right back into its usual silver spikes. "Goodbye, babe," he said, going over to Mavis's side of the bed and kissing his sleepy wife on the forehead. "I'll call you as soon as I'm done." He rushed out of the house and into the car, nervousness fluttering in his chest. His phone buzzed and he looked to see who it was; it was an unknown number from somewhere in town. Assuming it couldn't be more important than his interview, he pressed "ignore" and drove away towards the Google headquarters about an hour away.

[rainbowwrowell]

Mavis woke up after Eider kissed her and she waited until Emily got up. Emily was the early bird of the house. Mavis and Eily went downstairs. Mavis was on her phone. Emily disturbed her by asking "Where's Mira?" Mavis looked at him. Her phone buzzed alot, she answered it quickly. "Hello." She said, curious as to who it was. "Hello Miss. I believe you are a good friend to Mira [Inset Last Name]. I am extremely sorry, but Mira passed away. She had a heart murmur and today she had a heart attack and it turned out to be fatal.." Mavis listened to them. "Ill pass it on to her family... Thank you for telling nurse." She said. Then she hung up. Emmi watched her mother walk upstairs. Mavis hated crying infront of the kids. She went into her and Eider's room. Tears streamed off her face.

Emily sighed, getting her phone which Ella gave to her for her birthday and rang her father. "Daddy.. Mammy's sad.. She was on the phone then she went upstairs and began crying." She said after he answered

[spioradkitty]

((Lol Mira's full name is Mira Aileen Smith))

Eider felt his phone vibrate again and looked down in annoyance, expecting it to be the same number as before; he picked it up once he saw that is was Emily. He listened to her before sighing. "Sweetheart, I'm sorry, but I can't do anything right now. Daddy's on his way to a very important interview that could help our family for the rest of our infinite lives. You can put Mommy on the phone if you think it's really important." He felt terrible about not being there when his family needed him, but he couldn't turn back home now; he was only 10 minutes away from the Google headquarters, and his interview was in 20 minutes. He received another call from the unfamiliar number and paused to let Emily know he'd call her back in a minute.
"Hello?"
"Hi, this is the Dahrma Emergency Care Hospital. Are you Mr. Eider Williams?"
"Yes ma'am."
"We have called to inform you of the fatality of Mira Smith, who we've been informed was a close friend of yours."
"... Yes, I'm friends with Mira. What do you mean, fatality...?"
"Over the past week, her heart condition has rapidly worsened, and last night she had a fatal heart-attack. You were on the list of people to inform first. I am very sorry for your loss, Mr. Williams."
For a moment Eider couldn't respond; it was too much to take in at once. Mira, dead? But she was always so strong...
"Thank you for telling me, ma'am. Have you told my wife Mavis Williams yet?"
"Yes sir, she was very upset. I recommend talking to her."
Eider grit his teeth in annoyance but didn't say anything.
"Thank you for the suggestion, but I am not currently in a position in which I can speak to her. And I really should go, I've just arrived outside the building where I'll be having a very important interview... Thank you again ma'am, I'll be going now."
He hung up, a mixture of anger, sadness, stress, fear, annoyance, and shock surging inside him. He walked into the waiting room outside the office and called Mavis, checking his watch and seeing he still had 8 minutes to talk to her.

[rainbowwrowell]

Mavis looked at her buzzing phone. She answered it, putting it on loud speaker. She was staring at a photo of her and Mila. She murmured quietly "Hey babe.." Emily walked upstairs. "Astraea... Mama's sad after she was on her phone with a nurse.."

[spioradkitty]

Astraea was practicing controlling her magic in her room, and jumped when her sister came in, quickly putting the gloves back on. "Oh... what did the nurse say? I should probably stay up here... I'm kind of depressing, I'll really just make things worse..." She sat back down and concentrated on the wall, channeling her ice magic and directing it at one specific point; a beam of frost hit the wall where she had aimed it, and a smile lit her face at her success. She had been working on controlling her powers all morning, and seemed to have succeeded after hours of practicing; she had woken up at 3:30 in the morning.

Eider blinked tears out of his eyes and forced his voice to remain steady, reminding himself he'd have time to grieve later; he couldn't go into the office with bloodshot eyes. "Hey babe... Look, I'm so sorry I had to leave this morning. We'll talk about Mira later, but I really just can't come home right now. I'm so sorry about your best friend, I know she meant so much to you." He glanced at his watch again; 5 minutes left.

[rainbowwrowell]

"I couldnt hear what she said. Mama was on the phone. She began crying then went into dada and her room..." Emily said quietly. She looked at Astraea.

Mavis muttered "Its okay I guess... I didnt even expect you to call... But I dont wanna be in the house with the kids now alone.. Babe... I hate crying near them.. I just wanna disappear.. Which Id happily do if I could.." She rubbed her eyes

[spioradkitty]

Astraea sighed in annoyance. "Em, what do you want me to do? Mama's tough; she'll be fine. Besides, I'm busy." She wasn't trying to upset Emily, she just simply didn't feel emotions as strongly as other other people did. Her only problems were her own.
((Lol sorry she's being kind of a jerk, but I figured I needed to rp Astraea's meaner side eventually))

Eider messed with his tie nervously, partly because of the interview, partially out of grief, and partially out of worry for his wife. "Of course I called, babe. You're far more important to me than any interview! And if you really need to be alone, I can call Amy real quick to babysit for the kids; she can teleport there in a few seconds and you can go to the fire realm or something. Whatever you need."

[rainbowwrowell]

"Thats the thing babe.. Ugh.. Its two minutes til your interview. Dont bother. I dont want to be alone. Just dont send anyone to the house.." She said looking at her phone. She hung up the phone. She just wanted to cuddle into Eider and hear him tell her she'd be okay.

Emily looked at Astraea. "She doesnt look okay.. She's crying sissy.." She said looking at her sister. Emily held onto her teddybear
