"oh! Cookie dough!" she reached into the bowl and got some. "Essnse!" Amelia scolded. "what mum?" she said with a mouth full.
Amelia looked sternly at her oldest daughter then her looks soften and she said , "atleast use a spoon" she handed her a spoon. "thanks mum."
Then Nova looked at her sister in discust and wonder. "what's wrong Nov?" "Is it safe to eat that?" "Nova this is a womans favorite food! Its soul food!"
Amelia rolled her eyes at fifteen Rebecca's over reacting. And nearly burst out laughing at November's reply , "well no wonder I do not like it ." " why is that?" Rebecca looked wonderingly at her baby sister.
"cause I not a woman!" Rebecca looked a little annoyed by her sisters remark but laughed when her mother did.
"what?" nova demanded. "nothing november." amelia smiled. As Rebecca let November try a spoolful of dough.
"mmm crunchy" she smiled. "does Santa like choitchip Becca?" Rebecca looked at her mother then down at her sister. "i'm sure he does Nov." Rebecca said letting her sister have the rest of the dough cause Nova was really enjoyin it 'not to be a woman'.
Just then the cookies were done and Amelia pulled them out and let them cool allowing the girls to sample some. "can we make 'em pretty mummy?" "yes you can."
"Becca too?" "If she wants too." November looked her sister . "sure I'll help ." after a while Crescent walked in and seen his siter's and mother working on cookies.

"Rebecca is right Crescent." Amelia said fixing the ribbion in November's auburn hair. "what's special about 'em? " Crescent said brushing a bit of his dark brown hair .
"there for Santa Crescent not you." Nova said simply and went back to docrating a snowman's face she made. "That looks wonderful sweetie." Amelia smiled.
"So he's more important than me Nov?" crescent asked. She looked at him with her jade green eyes and said simply , "Well yes an no Santa gives me presents , but you also my big brother." "so you love me more?"

"Thanks papa im glad you'd eat Nova's cooking over mine." Rebecca pretended to pout the obvious daddy's girl knew how to work her way around her father's heart.
Crescent looked shocked. "You'd give papa one of the 'special' cookies but not me?" "I said it depended on my mood and duh! it's papa." she said , "November Legacy what did we talk about?"
Nova flattened her ears in thought , "not to say the duh word.." she mumbled hardly loud enough for her shap hearing mother to hear.
