A white gowned Velma was facing the window, cooing and fussing over the precious bundles in her arms

"Does mummy love you? Yes she does, yes she does, oh yes she does" cooed Velma. Shaggy and Scooby were getting over-emotional, passing tissues to each other and knitting some very small and odd shaped booties.

"Velma, please stop" asked Daphne in a flat voice.

"Oooh look Uncle Shaggy and Uncle Scooby are making you presents, you are so lucky, oh yes you are. Can you give your uncles a wave? Yes of course you can clever things you," gushed Velma turning to face Shaggy and Scooby.

Shaggy and Scooby waved back "That was so, beautiful" blubbed Shaggy

"Reha, reautiful" agreed Scooby, both then blew their noses.

"But what has Aunty Daphne brought you then?" asked Velma

"What? Nothing! Please Velma, all of you, just stop it!" exclaimed Daphne becoming increasingly unsettled by the proceedings,

"Don't you pay any attention to your naughty Aunty Daphne" pouted Velma

"Velma stop it now, please, you are freaking me out" pleaded Daphne

"Come on Daph, just hold one. Look they are waving at you too" smiled Velma. She turned and held out a Petri dish towards Daphne. The label on it read E. velmadinklei.
