river leaned against the counter, watching as marcella made the cake all nice. turning his head as he heard michelle and estelle coming, he grinned. "we made cake!" he called out, kat soon coming down and dragging leon with her with a grin. "yum. cake."

[ptolemaea]

marci cut a few slices, giving one to river and getting one for herself. she chewed on the cake thoughtfully. “you know, i’ve been craving cake for this entire pregnancy.” she told river casually.

[moonlessnight.]

river cut a small slice for estelle, also getting one for the others and handing them out. he began eating, chuckling at marcella's words and nodding thoughtfully. "yeah, and now that estelle has a sister, i'm sure we'll be able to go out more." he mused, michelle shaking her head with wide eyes and holding her hands in the air. "woah, woah, woah! hang on! what?!"

[ptolemaea]

marcella nodded. “this celebration cake is amazing. i wonder if she’ll have a sweet tooth like me. do you think she’ll estelle?” she wondered with a small smile, going in and grabbing another piece of cake. “the sad part is- i’ll just throw this up.”

[moonlessnight.]

michelle nearly screeched but stopped herself so the twins didn't wake. "oh my gosh, another grandbaby!" she squealed quietly, river laughing a bit before kissing marella's forehead. "maybe the medicine will help." he mused before lifting estelle and moving her hand to place itself on the baby bump. "stella, you have a sissy in there!"

[ptolemaea]

estelle smiled. “yeah i know. mama told me.” she crossed her arms. marcella laughed, hugging estelle, then michelle, then river. she smiled as she wrapped her arms around river and held him close.

[moonlessnight.]

river chuckled at estelle's sassy response. he smiled as marcella hugged him, holding the girl against his chest and kissing her forehead, kat smiling as a cry broke out, followed by another. "guess it's time for the twins to have some celebration milk," she joked before jogging upstairs to tend to her children.

[ptolemaea]

estelle wiggled out of michelle’s arms. “auntie kat! i wanna help!” she called, running up the stairs, before falling partway and starting to cry. marcella ran to her daughter and calmed her, giving her a sippy cup of juice.

[moonlessnight.]

kat poked her head out as she heard estelle crying, carrying the two boys out with a smile. "here, sweetie, you can help." she murmured, walking downstairs carefully before taking a seat on the couch, waiting for estelle to take one of the bottles from her hand.

[ptolemaea]

estelle took a bottle and fed nathan happily. “thank you, auntie kat!” she smiled. marcella smiled at river. “what should we name her?” marcella asked. “i liked the sound of aurelia dawn, or erin maya.”
