Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was finally over, the pregnancy, the cravings, the grumpiness, EVERYTHING was done and Lemonade couldn't be happier "Darmani, sweetheart, can I have a glass of water?" She asked, looking at the foals around her, they were only a few days old and whilst they should be in their own beds Darmani and her had to upgrade to a larger bed because a couple of older kids plus three foals and themselves was a really tight fit but thankfully Coven allowed them to just magic one into their room and dispose of the other through magical means.

"Dad, you stay there" Cad said as he, not wishing to have the foals disturbed as they were still so young and poured his mother a glass of water and handed it to her.

"Thank you, darling" she said as she took drank the whole glass down and handed it back to her son "so, considering that this is the first time you have been allowed in here..."

Blue rolled her eyes "you are telling me, seriously, most mothers let their other children see their new siblings soon after they were born but you...no, that would of been too normal, YOU kicked us out for the last few days and you and dad hogged them to yourselves, what gives?"

"Post pregnancy grumpiness, hormones were still a little out of whack, sorry darlings" Lemonade said as she looked down at her foals "anyway, say hello to your new sisters and brother, Marshmellow Blue is the little boy, Itzel is the fairy and the flutter is Glacia" she said as she bent down and kissed each of the foals little heads.

"Their adorable!" Blue said as she walked around to the side of the bed and nuzzled Marshmellow "though I do have something to tell you, mom" she said taking a deep breath and letting it out "whilst you have been locked up in your room your father has been wanting you, we have been able to keep him away but there is only so much we can do because sooner or later he will come in some way, you know how persistent he can be."

"Here is a question for you, has he and my mother made up?"

"Not that I know of, last I heard, and this was two days ago, they are at least on speaking terms with each other but that is more a civil thing then anything else and as for Crystal and Snow they wish to see the children but I thought I would check with you first and winter...well, being Uncle Winter he went overboard on your baby gifts" she said as she opened the door to the room and walked out, pushing in bags and baskets and packages full of baby care stuff and toys which took Blue, to make sure all the stuff was inside the room, ten minutes to just get everything in.

Lemonade giggled "finally you are done!?" Lemonade asked rhetorically "but that is my brother, knows how to go overboard, how many children did he think we were going to have? Twenty?" She asked rhetorically once more but smiling fondly at all the gifts "Starbright" she called, Starbright entering in mere moments.

"Yes?" She asked, walking up to the bed.

"Were you hanging around and just eves dropping?"

"I do admit I was, I couldn't help it, I'm sorry" she said to her dearest friend.

"It's fine but you should of been in here with the rest of us, you and Starlight are practically sisters to me, you are family" she said smiling at her as she gestured to the foals "can you please go make some fresh baby food please? Warm milk as well, I just want mashed up banana" she said as Starbright nodded.

"Sure and by the way, congratulations on three very adorable foals" she said as she turned to leave, stopping at the door "oh, just to let you know, you may be receiving something today from the Harmonia, just a small trinket from my family, my mother and father wish to see the foals as soon as possible but till then we all pitched in together to get you something" she said as she carried on leaving.

Lemonade lent on Darmani and nuzzled him "my dearest, Darmani, can you please get Arch? The Children could go but I would rather have you go see him as it is a matter that concerns him and Jack but if you could talk him into it that would be great, I don't want to speak to him and I am pretty sure he doesn't want to be anywhere around him either but right now my father will be on the roof tops of Harmonia being...well...lets just say....tormented by the other gargoyles and I want him to go fetch him. Not that I want to see him but if I know my father he will have finally given into his stubbornness and have gone to be punished by them, he is predictable in the amount of time he finally swallows his pride and I want to save him before they start to do anything to him because he will think that will be the only way to get back what he lost and as much as I hate him I don't wish harm to befall him" she said with a sigh, hoping she wouldn't be too late, not that she cared about him but he did, she had to admit, serve his time partly, but what they did to him could kill him in just one round with them and she didn't want that.

Arch stretched as he 'broke out' of his statue state and yawned, having only woken up moments ago and, technically, meant to still be asleep as it was night his kind usually stayed away but he never was a normal Gargoyle, why stay away at night when the day was so much more interesting? Not that he couldn't, if he wanted to, stay up at night as his body would love him for it but his friends in this land usually stayed up during the day so he had, slowly, started to make his body accept either both or day over night, as long as he got some sleep either in the day or night he didn't mind. "Babies? She is finally letting everyone see them?" He asked excitedly as he moved himself off the roof and into the bedroom he was given "that mate of yours really knows how to keep people guessing at what your new foals would be like, doesn't she?" He asked smiling at the male. "And mission...?" He asked curiously "what mission is that may I ask?"

Arch sighed "you know, I hate that mate of yours at times" he said as she gestured to the door "lets go, unlike others, I don't really need to do any morning stretching or whatever and if I did it can wait" he said as he kept his wings tightly against his body, thankfully Miss Coven was able to do a spell to let him walk through door ways without smashing them, couldn't really remember what it was called exactly but it didn't matter anyway because it just makes moving through the pony sized door ways so much easier. "Babies, yes, I will be happy to look at the new darlings but but this mission...I don't know, if Jack is involved I would rather say no to doing anything which involves him but she knows I can't say no to her either, I tried once but in the end her kindness, compassion and charm won out..."

"Stop lying" a voice said as it poked it's head around the corner "it was my ice cream and you know it!" Lemonade said as she grinned at him.

"Well yes, there was that too..." he said as he smiled at her "good morning, my dearest friend, what brought you up to this floor?"

"I had to use the bathroom so I decided to come and see you two" she said as she walked over and nuzzled her mate "and you are the worlds best mate, you know that?" She said as she kissed his cheek and nuzzled him.

Arch just stood there and smiled at them before remembering something and walked over to the dresser, opened it and took out three Chimaera plushies, closed the drawer and walked back to the others "a small gift but given these are magical there is a small warning with them. They are normal plushies by night but by day they are...well...a little vicious but don't worry, you CAN train them, these are pretty much what one would class as 'baby Chimaera's' so they have a bit of a bite to them but they wouldn't harm the babies any more then what a puppy would, the children back home get given them as a 'first 'pet' sort of thing.

Of course they, the children, do grow up to learn that full blooded adult Chimaera are not to be messed around with but like any beast anywhere, if you respect it it will pretty much leave you alone and like with Chimaera's they can be kind creatures but with anything, if you harm it they will attack, just like dogs do for instance but this is classed as a baby and so they are pretty much harmless, just remember that these ARE pets as well, will never grow nor 'die' but they can become the best of friends for your little ones. They come to life when the morning calls but are plushies to keep the children comforted and feel protected at night, so yes, their plush body turns into flesh and bone, they have real spirits of deceased Chimaera children in them, usually those who have no parents or their parents gave up on them, long story short but the children that have terminal illnesses and the like can, if they wish, have their spirit harvested when they die and placed into these plushies, they are made aware of what it means etc but they get to make up their own mind about what they wish to do and some have decided to make others happy by having their soul and spirit transferred into a plush, they get to live on and make other children (and some adults) happy and they don't mind at all, they get to live on with a family and friends and all the children need to do is activate them is give them a name."

Lemonade looked at Arch as he explained and then at her mate "so...how do you feel about having three more mouths to feed?" She asked, looking the plushies over.
