Ara bounced Zeki in her arms, enjoying the feel of his soft cheek against her shoulder. Being a mother had been much easier than she had first thought it would be. Her parents and sister had been right at her side through the entire pregnancy and had helped in every area with Zeki. Her father had helped her with all the paperwork, her mother had helped her with all the infant things she needed to know and Kiara had been more than helpful in simply supporting her. Despite their love for her, her parents had had a hard time talking with her about anything. Kiara had listened and spoke with her freely.

"Zeki this is Emma." she muttered. "Emma, this is my baby, Zeki."

Emma looked at Zeki in pure wonder, she had never seen a baby so close before.

"Eki?" she attempted to say Zeki.
David chuckled, liking the look of simple curiousity on Emma's face.

She smiled and reached her arm out to touch the younger baby.

However David lightly held Emma's arm, and looked to Ara, after all he didn't want Emma to accidently scare the young baby.

Ara chuckled. Emma was so cute. Not a social child, Zeki pulled back, not wanting the girl to touch him, despite David stopping her.

"He's just shy, Emma." Ara explained.

"Anyone want to go outside and play on the swings?" Edwin asked, obviously only talking to Emma. Horatio pulled his pipe out of his mouth.

"Only if the rest of you go with me..." he joked, much to Eglantine's amusement.
