"Yea, she's here," Jess rolled her eyes as Mayday and Gunner rode piggyback as the giant crawled on the floor with them, "Well, at least she'll be nice and tired by the time you get her back."
Miguel glanced to Jess as he growled, pretending to be a lion, leaving the little ones very amused.
"How does my number of children go up everytime I turn around?" she shook her head.
"I feel the same way," Brei commented, "Kids and grandkids. Then friends of kids. It never ends."
"Tell me about it. And these teenagers eat so much."
"Yet they somehow still are translucent," Brei made her way to the trio, grabbing the two off Miguel's back, "Look at these cute little monsters with all this thick hair! All these curls."
"We're back," Virgil called, leading Hobie in by the hand, "And we are looking dazzling."
Jess covered her mouth, "So stunning."
"You see how nice and clean the parts are," Hobie showed off his hair, "Nothin' like fresh hair."
"Yes, you look less homeless," Nan commented, "Yours look nice too," she nodded to Virgil, who was now being attacked by his lineage and toddler friend.
"Why thank you," He smiled, throwing a toddler at Miguel.
"Oh! Look it!" Hobie hurried to the front. He came back a fraction of a second later holding up a cerise rabbit, "I got a bunny! See Nan?"
"Yes, I see."
"Bunny!"
"Yes, that's your bunny," she pet it as he rubbed it against her face, "Very soft. Did you say thank you?"
A series of nods as he hugged it to his face. He rushed off to show it off to the babies and Miguel, "Look what I got."
May gasped, "Bunny!"
"Yep, its my bunny," he rubbed it against Miguel's face, May pulling its ear.
Mig raised an eyebrow, walking to his room. Hobie scoffed and showed it to May and Gunner. Both being amazed. Mig hurried back with his dragon and llama.
"This one is Alfredo," he showed off the Llama first, "I'm not too sure where he came from, someone left him at the hospital for me. But this one is Invernio, daddy got him for me because he loves me. What are you going to name him?"
Hobie tugged at the hat of the llama, "Hmmm. I like the name Petunia. But I like Elizabeth too…"
"Name her both then."
"I will," he said confidently, rubbing her velvet fur, "I Cresent her Elizabeth Petunia Brown."

"Cried the whole time," Virgil chuckled, "Just massive tears."
"That sounds right," Nan sighed, her poor boy.
"I had to take him to get a little friend after. But I like those women, they specialize in tender heads."
"That's him," Brei nodded, "He fights me. I can do little things, but not all that. Nan knows nothing about his chosen hairstyle."
Jess covered her mouth, stifling a laugh, "Poor baby probably has ptsd."
"Mama!" May called, waving at Jess.
"Yep, that's me," she walked to her, "Whose that?"
"Baby!" She pointed to Gunner, "Miggy! 'obie!"
"Look at how smart you are," she picked her up in a cuddle, getting a big hug.
"Mommy, milk?"
"I was expecting that," she grabbed Gunner, "Yep, milk. Are you two playing nice?"
Hobie and Miguel were currently growling at each other, fighting with dinosaur toys, not even noticing her.
"I'll take that as a yes," Jess smiled, walking to the couch to provide milk and cuddles for the actual babies.

Hobie whimpered, reaching for the rabbit.
"Hold on, you'll get your bunny back in a minute," Nan gently snapped up the buttons on his pajamas, "Here, here's your bunny."
He hugged her to his face, "her name is Elizabeth, Nana. I named her Elizabeth Petunia Brown. And I love her."
"That's a nice name," she tucked his hair into a bonnet, "You love her?"
"She's my bunny," he stood, hurrying to his room, "Nan, can I paint your nails?"
"Yes, that's fine," she put on some music before changing into her lounge wear. Stepping out of her room he took her hand and led her to the couch, "I want emerald."
"Ok, I got it," he smiled, massaging her hand.
"Did my little Dimples have a surprisingly nice time? Despite getting your hair done?" Brei watched him file her nails and prep them for the base coat.
He shrugged, swaying back and forth as he painted, "Did you have a good time?"
"Yes, I got to see very cute little babies, cute big baby, and got my boy's hair nice and taken care of," she nodded, "And Jessica and Virgil seem very nice. I approve of them."
Hobie gave a tiny smile, "I guess I had a good time. Miguel isn't so bad…I guess. Jess is pretty nice most times. I like Virgil, he's really nice."
"Yes, very nice," she agreed.
"Miguel said Virgil got him a dragon because he loves him. Do you think they love me too? Because he got me Lizzy and Jess always does things for us."
"Of course they do. Why wouldn't they love my boy? We need to give them a thank you gift to show our appreciation."
The rocker thought for a long time, "We can make biscuits. Biscuits make me happy. Or we get them plush?"
"I think making biscuits is a good idea, Dumplin."
"Can I help make them? Please, please, please?" His voice got higher with each excited plea.
She scoffed, playfully annoyed, "I guess I can use help. But we have to wait for our nails to dry. What color do you want?"
He bounced happily in place, before leaning forward and touching foreheads with Brei.
