Mike blinked slightly when he felt movement, and somewhere in the back of his mind he registered it as his daughter, Esther, but the tan skinned man was still not alert and quickly fell into a more peaceful sleep as he wrapped his arms around both young ladies in his life.

Smirking at her response, Thomas gave a slight nod
"so how does tomorrow at ten in the morning sound? It'll be about four at night there, they will probably be around since it's close to tea-time" he said lightly before adding
"and they, of course, love you too... actually, Olly and Piper keep asking to come live with us once Melody is born" he laughed lightly
"Shall we go?" he asked after a few minutes, ready to get the baby-shopping started.

"I think that's a fun movie to watch" Tessa agreed, picking a slightly groggy Maisy up to balance on her hip as she made her way to the living room where she took a seat on the couch, Maisy sitting face forward on her lap to watch as they waited for Siri to make himself comfortable.

"Up, mama, up!" Maisy said sternly as she looked at the young woman in front of her, arms reaching out to her mom and deep, dark jade eyes beginning to look droopy with sleep.

Garret
29 {Jan. 1} || Doctor; Mainly Pediatric || Fiance;Alexandra || Merengue || X
After a few minutes of driving, Gar reached over with his right hand and fiddled with the heat to turn it on now that the car was 'warmed up' and wouldn't be blowing out cold air to make the couple colder. Glancing over at his wonderful fiance as he slowed to a stop at a red light, Garret gave her a soft smile
"You know I love you, right? And I can't wait to marry you" he said gently, meaning every word of what he had said. It was exciting, the wedding was in just under two months, both of them would have their family at whichever venue they chose, they hadn't exactly booked a honeymoon yet, but that could wait if needed. Hopefully they would be able to start a family within the next few years too... Garret had only just turned 29, he didn't want to be much older than 38 when...and if... they had kids as the chances of genetic problems increased quite a bit.

Obviously Aiden and Bentley were too focused on their new toys to answer mommy, so Eli decided to take the time to talk to his girlfriend, hopefully soon to be fiance... if he could ever find the right time to propose.
"Dan and Carly stopped by before. At first all three kids were playing well together, eventually these two rascals teamed up and started trying to practically kill their cousin though. It's a shame you weren't around, Dan and I got a lot of laughs out of tiny Carly fighting back against the taller boys and actually winning. Once they ruined her snowman they basically had no choice but to run. Eventually Aiden apologized... Bentley decided a few minutes in time-out was better" Eli finished, taking his cowboy hat off and placing it on the arm of the couch as he sipped his drink.

"It the worlds biggest most gigantus humongousest tower ever!" Aiden exclaimed excitedly as he stepped back to admire his 'building'. If ever he couldn't become a cowboy like his daddy, maybe he could work in construction.

Bentley

"Monster Jam!!!" Bentley yelled loudly as he sent two trucks rolling right at each other as quick as possible. Blinking in astonishment when there was no collision, Bent tried it again, slower... the little orange truck went under the big black one! That didn't make any big, fun booms!

"C'mon Car, up and at 'em... you have gymnastics in an hour kiddo" Dan said lightly, chuckling as the seven year old tried to ignore them and go back to sleep.
"Well, you've left me no choice" he said mischeviously before grabbing her legs and lifting Carly upside-down off the couch, he hung her legs over his right upper arm as he tickled her into alertness, placing her back on her feet after about thirty seconds so she wouldn't be too dizzy.

The first time her mom shook her, Carly just rolled onto her other side, trying to avoid hearing it. The second time she tucked her chin in closer to her body and brought her knees to her stomach, almost making herself into a little ball. When her dad tried she muttered something along the lines of 'no... sleep'. Finally she felt herself go airborn and then being tickled. The little blonde couldn't help smiling and laughing as her dad tickled her awake. Finally her feet were placed back down and she ran off to her room to get ready for gymnastics.

"Daddy is certainly starving, I'm glad you girls liked the gifts" he agreed, drapping an arm around Anita's waist as the girls ran off to put their things away.
"I missed you a lot, can't wait until we can all go next time" he admitted honestly as he began to place the pizza on the table, eager to eat.

"An daddy gots me new horsies that I can play wif!" Kelsey exclaimed happily as she gripped the box of horse figures in her little hands excitedly.
"C'mon Baloo!" she smiled, skipping off wih the black chow mix at her side as she wandered up to her room to place the new toys down right in the middle of the floor for later. A few minutes later Kels was hopping like a little bunny right down the carpeted stairs, back into the dining room.

"That sounds very pleasant" Dani smiled in agreement as she leaned into him slightly, turning the corner that would ultimately lead them back to the house. Taking the 'leash' off Sashta once the couple was back on their property the faithful pooch actually carried the lead line back to the barn for Daniella before returning and entering the house where the brunette had thankfully installed a doggy door so her animals could come and go as they pleased... most of the time. When no one was home the door got locked so they didn't have any unwelcome visitors.
"Why don't you get comfortable and I'll start on dinner?" Daniella suggested as they walked inside, she headed for the kitchen.

Jumping as Pepper gave a kick, the pony knew what was going to happen when Baylee had that box and was wearing those coveralls over her normal clothes... a leisurley ride wasn't on the list. "Calm down Peppy, it'll be done in one...two... three" she said calmly, giving the pony the final 'dreaded shot' on three. Once she was done she handed Pepper a peppermint and continued on: Patches, then Reddy, then clover, then Cocoa... another fiesty mare, then pal the usually laid back gelding. By five O'clock she only had Sabertooth the saint bernard, Collie the collie and Alfalfa the rabbit left to check, hopefully her loving husband would be home soon.

Linking her arm with his, Kiara led him outside into the cold air
"I don't think I would close the shop all winter, maybe just until monday?" she suggested
"People seem to love hot pizza on a cold day" she pointed out softly, opening the car door for Justin before closnig it and climbing into the driver's side. Maybe she should bring up that new medical surgery later, it could give them something to talk about... right?

Timber gave him a soft smile,
"finally, a place that allows more than just service dogs" she sighed contently as she climbed out of the truck, patting her leg for Alaska to follow
"So, have you started on that project Mrs. Steinsburg gave us in chemistry? Because I think Emma wanted to partner with you" she said lightly, referring to the other girl, a former orphan, who lived in the same vicinity as them.

As she entered the orphanage, Sarah was greeted by that unwelcome chill as she pushed open the old doors to the even older brick building that lay right in the middle of main street. Immediately she wished that her two horses could stay here with her, it got lonely here without anything. Walking into the 'comfort room', Sarah noticed the TV still wasn't fixed from when Kyle threw Ryan's favorite and only action figure through it. Sitting herself on one of the old couches that was more lumpy than comfortable now, Sarah pulled her legs up close to her body and stared out the window at the sinking sun.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Kyle asked, trying to sound offended and utterly failing at it
"I texted my boss I wasn't going to show today... I mean, I won't have much money to spend until monday, and I texted him two hours after I was supposed to show up... but I still texted him, that's more than I usually do" the cropped haired teen said pointedly as he finished his shake.
"So, could the bike get brought in soon?" he asked hopefully
"'cause if not my friend and whatever pretty girl he has on the back of it might end up walking all the way back to Castle Hill from the City one day."

Ryan

Sighing as he watched his brother leave him again, Ryan pulled on his favorite sweater, the only one that still fit him well, and wasn't peppered with holes and raggedy and all. Pulling on the pair of sneakers he owned, Ryan walked out of the building and began to wander around Castle Hill like he did most days. At least the orphanage wasn't like he had seen in that movie about the girls, Annie. Most of the workers were pretty nice. The food was really gross, usually it was oatmeal or grits for breakfast, they were on their own to find out what lunch would be, and dinner was something like a sandwhich that didn't have much taste. But overall things weren't too bad at all.

"Definitely a reason to celebrate" Logan agreed happily as he quickly pecked her on the lips before proceding to turn and get plates & cups out of the higher cabinet so his wife wouldn't need to reach so much. He also pulled out two knives and two forks
"So, when is the next doctor appointment babe?" he asked, putting a few hot pancakes onto each plate and placing the syrup bottle on the table.
"I can work from home today, no need to go out... it's too cold to be on the boat anyway" he said lightly, glad to have the freedom to work from home.

Smiling as she returned the kiss, Anna had a lightbulb moment when Mav said he needed to go to work
"That reminds me, Elsa said she sent gifts. Something for Levi and something for Maddie. Once it gets here do you think we should give it to them on a 'foster day' or just drop it off for her and give Levi his separately?" she asked curiously before planting a kiss on Levi's forehead and placing him on the floor as she sat down at the table to eat her meal.
"Ya know, we're going to miss you while you're away. Call when you're on break" Anna added after a brief moment that allowed her to swallow her food.
