Our Thingie....

Kelli smiled and sighed,running fingers through Korra's hair.She shrugged."We'll just wait for them in the wood outside the town in the afternoon."Her eyes drifted to Augustus who was pouting over the lack of food in his stomach."But I'm guessing we need food first?"She had grown more accustom to paying with denarii but decided she'd steal today.It had been a little while.She set Korra down at Luca's feet."Hold on..."She grabbed an empty basket from the ground and sneakily slipped between customers,grabbing warm bread,some cheese,and fresh fruit within a matter of seconds.

Dakota shrugged."Noonish..."He shrugged and smiled as he bent his head,allowing little Cleo to grab his nose.He had to shift his eyes to see and did so he could view his pregnant wife.His smile dropped into a frown."Wait...are you not coming?"He asked,surprised.Now Dakota was starting to worry.Astrid had been so tired lately and she'd ceased to get out as much."C'mon Astrid.You gotta.You're still capable of moving around,aren't you?"

Leila sighed."Yeah,yeah.Okay."She rolled her eyes and turned.She was also pregnant.Leila had been pregnant for the full nine months and was very rounded out.She was having another girl.Her stomach was huge truthfully.But at least Giavannah was easy to feed.Her baby was still breastfeeding but Marcus was a whole different story.She had to go out and buy stuff or make food at home.Which she hated,but would proceed to do.Giavannah placed her small hand on Marcus's lips."Dada!"She laughed.When she sat beside her father there was no doubt she was his child.

Adrian sighed and coughed at the smell."Really,Lionel? You're gonna be quite the charmer."He said sarcastically,laying his son down on the floor.He grabbed a diaper and some special wipes."Pee on me again and I swear to the gods I will rip my hair out."He had been peed on by Lionel several times.Sure,it was normal.Doctor said something about how cold air makes little boys have the urge to pee but now Adrian was starting to think his son just liked causing havoc.He took his dirty diaper off and gagged,folding it neatly and pitching it in the trash.

He raised his eyebrow as his wife just ran off with a small basket. Stealing... Of course Luca wasn't a fan of stealing, from seeing the consequences in the underworld. He kneeled down and grabbed Korra, holding her in his other arm. "Don't steal." He looked at Augustus and Korra, knowing he was practically talking to himself. "Especially you 'Gus, you're not going to get any girls that way." He joked and looked towards Kelli, while readjusting the two toddlers.

Astrid shrugged and looked down at her stomach "I don't know, I'm beyond exhausted..." She sighed and looked at him with a small frown. Cleo giggled quietly and started to close her eyes little by little. Astrid looked over at her and started grinning slightly "I might go..." She started to rethink her decision when Cleo fully closed her eyes.

"Thank you." He looked over at Leila with a small grin. He looked back at Giavannah and pretended to bite her fingers. Marcus was still pretty tired and readjusted her so he was at his side. Giavannah did look a lot like him and a lot of way. And she even started to act like him. Leila was going to have their second kid any day now. It did make him a little nervous but he knew Leila was prepared as much as she could've. "You want to see your cousins today?" He turned to look at her with a smile.

Lionel was having a laugh attack. He watched his dad struggled to change his diper. It was all amusing to the little boy. He had short and messy blonde hair like Adrian, but that was probably the only thing he got from him. "Hungry!" Lionel protested and turned his head towards the kitchen. Elise didn't even turn her head "Not ready yet!" She told them. Unlike the other three couples, they only had one kid and were not planning to have any more. Lionel was enough.

Augustus was chewing on his fingers,smiling."Steal!"He laughed and tried to get down.He had dark,slightly curly brown hair and electrical eyes.His skin was more olive and his features were just plain Greek.It was almost impossible to tell he had any Roman.His face brightened when his mother came back.Kelli held a basket full of bread,cheese,meat,and fruit."Let's picnic while we wait for the others..."She handed Augustus a piece of cheese."Nibble on it,Gus.I'm not giving you anymore until later."She broke off a piece of buttered bread and handed it to Korra."Same to you."

Dakota smiled as Cleo drifted off into sleep in his arms.He sighed quietly and looked over at Astrid,locking eyes with her and giving a weak,tired smile."If you didn't come then I'd throw you over my shoulder and carry you."He stated simply but frowned,eyebrows creasing with worry."But Astrid...lately you've been so drawn back...you can wake me up at night if you need help with Cleo.She can't continue keeping you awake for so long.Its unhealthy."He reached out with a free hand after he adjusted his daughter into one arm and moved a stray piece of blonde hair from his wife's face.

Giavannah shrieked with giggles as Marcus pretended to bite her fingers."No no! No bite! Non me mordeant paterculi!"She laughed,pulling her hand away.Surprisingly their one year old daughter was fluent in some Latin already.Her eyes widened when Marcus asked about her cousins.She nodded enthusiastically."Yes! Yes! Korra and Aguh...Aguh."She couldn't quite pronounce her cousin's name."Gus!"She decided,nodding her head ."Gus and Korra!"She kicked her feet excitedly.

Adrian sighed and put Lionel's new diaper on,smiling."There you go..."He let his son get up and rolled his eyes.This baby was quite the handful."I'm not sure where you get all this enthusiasm,Lionel.But I sure know you're gonna be one loud teenager.Hopefully you mellow out with time. "He smirked and looked up,calling Elise."Honey? The baby is loose.Make sure he can't grab the..."He looked around,"anything."

Korra looked over at her brother and frowned a little "I want cheese!" She protested and looked at Kelli then back at her bread with disapproval. She was so hungry she just decided to try it. It was once a small nibble then it turned into several bites. Luca looked down at Korra with a shrug "I guess that solved that problem." He chuckled. "Yeah, sure." He nodded to his wife and looked at Augustus and Korra "Can you take one?" Luca asked with a weak grin

Astrid shook her head "You're practically in a coma when you sleep." She joked without humor. Astrid honestly just wanted to get some sleep at their house. "But I'll go if you really want me to." She sighed and looked at him with weak grin. Just like how Astrid said Dakota slept like he was in a coma, Cleo was the exact same way.
She slept without one sound and without one movement .

Marcus grinned "We will see them in a little bit." He told her. He had only seen Augustus and Korra when they were just born, the must look a lot different now. Two years is a long time for a baby to grow. Finally he decided he couldn't afford to fall asleep again. He got up with Giavannah in his arms and walked to the kitchen. He looked around for Leila, hoping she got him some food. "Leeeila." He called out and looked down at Giavannah to see if she was okay.

Elise turned to look at him and nodded "Mostly every thing is out of his re-" before she could even say it, Lionel had found Adrian's sword. It was way too heavy for him but he put all his effort into pulling it with him. "Lionel!" She yelled, seeing him from across the room "You little devil!" She picked him up and grabbed the sword away from him "No swords." She told him sternly but he just started giggling and making attempts to grab it again.

HerpDerp03 · Feb 5th 2014

Kelli nodded."Of course."She returned the same weak smile and took Korra again,starting to walk beside Luca,swinging her basket full of food.She just so happened to glance up and stifle a laugh.Augustus had this weird look on his face.His eyebrows were knitted together and his lips were formed in a hard line of concentration.The beautiful look her son got when he was pooping."Gus is pooping,Luca.Just letting you know so you can change him once we settle to eat."She said casually.

Dakota chuckled."Shove me off the bed.That usually works."He looked down at Cleo and smiled.She looked at lot like an Egyptian which worried him a little.He tried to dismiss the though.She'd be fine.Nothing would happen to his precious child.He handed her back to Astrid quietly,hoping the change of smell and feel wouldn't disrupt her nap.He sighed,chest heaving.Now his mind was heavy with the thought of little Cleo being beaten or whipped.It made his heart ache.

Leila sighed."What?"She hissed,also dealing with pregnancy mood swings."Can you ever NOT beg me for food,Marcus!? I'm making it for heavens sakes!"She hissed,cutting a loaf of bread in half.She buttered it and turned her attention to a side platter that she'd put goat cheese on and grapes."Here! Happy?"She set his food on the table and sighed,rubbing her forehead in exasperation.Giavnnah frowned."Mama...why are you so mad?"She whimpered,bottom lip quivering.She looked exactly how Marcus use to whenever he'd beg Leila for something.She had his pouty lip,big watery electrical eyes,and messy dark hair that stuck up where she had her head pressed against his chest.

Adrian yelped and scrambled over,grabbing his sword."Sorry! I didn't mean to leave that there!"He apologized quickly,setting his sword up on a high shelf.He rubbed his face in exasperation and peeked up,looking at Lionel.He shook his head.Their son was a bit too much now.Hadn't they come to Sicily for peace and quiet? Of course he and Elise would get the wild child when all they wanted to do was raise a nice little family.Of course they wouldn't be able to.

Luca had an anamjsed look on his face as he readjusted Augustus so he was farther from his nose. "Thanks..." He sighed and looked over at Kelli and Korra. He smirked a little when Korra made the same face as her brother. "Looks like we're even." He looked away with a triumphant grin. Korra dug her face in Kelli's arm, ready to fall asleep. Korra had dirty blonde hair, unlike Augustus, but had dark brown eyes that were clearly associated with Luca's side. But compared to her brother, she looked more Roman by far.

Astrid held and watched their daughter sleep which only made her more tired herself. Her eye kids grew heavy and they finall closed. She snapped back awake and decided she needed to sit down. She walked over and sat up against a tree with Cleo still asleep in her arms. Astrid had trained herself to not think of what would happened if someone found Cleo and recognized she was Egyptian. Only one time she'd thought about it, but never again.

Marcus held Giavannah closer to him. "Lei- I'm sorry. Go get some rest, you've been up all night. Me and Gia will make you breakfast!" He tried making the moment brighter. He glanced at his sandwhich which made his mouth water, but he forced himself to look back at his wife. Soon she was going to have to take care of two kids and a baby. Yes, Marcus technically didn't count as a kid but he did act like one. "Right Gia?" He looked down at her, hopefully she would agree because Leilla was definetly having some mood swings.

Lionel noticed that both of his parents were angry so he decided to calm down. He watched the sword go up on a shelf knowing he wouldn't get to it soon. He looked up at Elise and Adrian and frowned "Sorry..." He sniffled and dug his face into Elise's chest. Lionel had a weird personality, the only thing you could decribe it at that age was sweet. Sure he went around picking up stuff he never should, but he did apologize for it. Elise looked at Adrian then back at Lionel "He is something." She sighed and ran her fingers through her son's blonde hair.

Kelli smirked."Oh really? Actually,when you change Gus can you change Korra? Thanks honey."She gave him an innocent smile as they made their way into the outstretching forest that Kelli associated her new home with.She smiled and stroked Korra's head soothingly as memories played in her mind.Both good and bad.

I'm time skipping to the afternoon if that's alright with you

Kelli settled on a high grassy hill right outside the wooded area.She sat after handing Luca her other smelly child."There you go! Now I can start making the food."She had stolen enough for everyone and their children,too.Her mind drifted to all of her friends.She had only seen Cleo and Giavannah but not trouble making Lionel.Personally she knew a baby could really change so it would be like seeing them for the first time.Augustus started complaining when Luca set him down in the grass to get changed."I'm hungry dada...I don't wanna get my diaper changed dada...Είμαι πεινασμένος και δεν είναι δίκαιο!"(Translation: I'm hungry and it's not fair) Just like Giavannah he was fluent in his father's language.

Dakota sighed.He wanted to let Astrid and Cleo sleep a little more but now it was time to get a move on.The sun rose in the middle of the sky,signaling it was about time to meet up with everyone.He walked through the soft grass and bent down beside Astrid,gently shaking her awake.She'd gotten a good hour of sleep while he daydreamed in the heat of the afternoon."Hey...Astrid...wake up."He whispered,tilting his head."Are you ready to go? The spot we'll meet up on isn't that far of a walk.Maybe fifteen minutes or so."He said,hoping she'd come.

By that time Leila had cooled her temper,eaten the...semi-good food Marcus and Giavannah tried to make,and changed into a more acceptable summertime dress.She sighed,at this moment fitting her daughter in a cute little white dress with a purple bow tied around the waist.She smiled and fixed their little girl's hair."There you go cutie.Now we can get moving!"Giavannah winced when her mother tied the purple ribbon around her waist."I want dada to hold me! I want a toga,too! With blue like his!"She whined."I wanna wear daddy's clothes! He has cool stuff!"

Adrian basically had to force Lionel to put on his clothes instead of running around in a diaper.He held his son,waiting for Elise.He gritted his teeth in annoyance.The wrestling with his two year old made him a bit angry.He just wanted a son who was peaceful or at minimum decent.His eyes flicked down and he watched his blonde haired son wiggle around in his arms."Lionel stop it right now."His voice was thick with irritation.All the fuss Lionel made was simply irrational.Adrian,with difficulty,held back the urge to yell.

Hawkspark · Feb 5th 2014

Yep, that's fine

Luca gritted his teeth and looked at Augustus "σταματήσουν να κλαψουρίζουν!" (Translation: Stop whining) He told his son annoyed. He finally put a new diper on and threw the other one faaar away from where they were sitting. He sighed and leaned up against the tree. He thought he was done until he saw Korra who was backing up slowly from him. "Nulla! Consto!" (Another translation: No! Stop!) She cried out when Luca walked over and picked her up. Unlike Augustus, Korra spoke Latin like her mother. She knew a little Greek but found Latin easier. Luca shook his head and pinned her down while Korra tried getting out of his grip "Consto! Consto! Consto!" she yelled up at him scared

Astrid opened up one eye and looked at him a little annoyed. She slowly opened both eyes and sighed "Fine, but you got Cleo." She handed her to him while she got up and stretched. Cleo was wide awake now "I wanna go down!" She looked up at him then the ground. "Please!" She begged and grabbed onto his nose again. She had dark curly hair and tan skin that was definitely Egyptian. Nothing was really Astrid about her, maybe her personality but not a lot.

Marcus looked over at Leila and Giavannah with a creased eyebrow. He looked at Leila for help but decided he could handle it "Gia, you're a girl though. Boys have to wear ugly and bad clothes when girls get to wear nice and pretty clothes." He said to her. It was the lamest sentence that ever came out of his mouth, but she was a kid. Marcus bent down and picked Giavannah up "But I will carry you." He glanced at Leila to see if he did good with his parenting. As you could tell, he was far from the best.

Lionel looked up at him with a blue eyed glare "I don't want to go!" He argued and finally stopped wiggling around, loosing energy too quickly. "I want your sword!" He grinned and looked up at the shelf were it was stored. Elise came out with a purple Roman dress, nothing special. She watched Lionel and Adrian fight. Adrian was about to explode with anger at any moment. They named him Lionel because he looked like a lion with his wild blonde hair, but now it was more because he was wild like one. "Let's go." She glanced at the door then back at them

Kelli finished making everything look proper.She stood and rolled her eyes at Luca,taking Korra."Tranquillum redde mihi parvulus."(Last trans: Calm my little one) She whispered soothingly in her ear."Daddy just wanted to change you.Let me do it."She sat and lay her daughter in the soft grass gently,waiting until Korra calmed down before removing her dirty diaper and folding it.She chucked it and it landed a little ways away with Augustus's. Augustus pouted."Dada! I wanna eat!"He started whimpering,kicking his feet in irritation."You're so mean!"He yelled,starting to cry pitifully,the sound echoing around them as his cries turned into defiant screams.

Dakota took Cleo."No,no,no.You're not going anywhere."He kissed her forehead lovingly and adjusted her so she was comfortable.He waited until Astrid went to start walking after her.Better to let the wife lead unless he wanted to get screamed at for going too fast or some other dumb stuff.He played with Cleo on the way,tickling her in his arms or spinning in circles all while he tried to walk.

Leila had both of her hands covering her mouth in amusement.Her eyes gleamed as if the situation was just too funny.Good job,honey. She mouthed,holding her stomach as she went from kneeling to standing.She groaned as she stood,panting."Let's go then.Sooner we move the sooner I can sit down."She wobbled to the door and opened it with a sigh,leaning against her sturdy husband for support.Giavannah held onto Marcus's neck,taking in everything he said.She nodded enthusiastically.Her father was obviously her favorite person and definite role model no matter what he said,did,or acted like."Okay!"She agreed quickly.

Adrian grumbled and held Lionel tight as he walked out he door,afraid maybe his son would jump from his arms.It had happened before.He couldn't afford to hold Elise's hand,in fear he would loosen his grip far too much,allowing their lion of a son free.No getting him back.His face lacked the cute shyness it normally held.It was replaced with a tired,dreary,irritated look."Lionel,gods help me,"He growled as his son eventually started wiggling again."I will beat you right in the middle of town.I don't care who sees!"

Luca rolled his eyes as he watched Augustus break down. "Gus..." He sighed and walked over to him, picking him up. "Just wait a little." He looked at his son and wiped his tears away. He never knew kids were this had and annoying. He glanced at the food and grabbed a piece of an apple "Here," he said quietly, handing him the apple. Korra saw her brother eat the apple with jealously. Instead of just whining she decided to have a little fun. "Auggie, apples are for stupid people." She teased him with a smirk. For a two year old, stupid was like the F word.

Cleo giggled uncontrollably as he tickled her "Stop!" She shouted in between giggles. After a while of walking she started getting eager. She looked around "Daddy, when we going to be there?" She asked while looking back up at him. Astrid heard her and looked at her "Almost there." She told both of them with a grin. A real grin. She was just excited to see everyone else.

Marcus held Leila's weight with no problem. "You know where you're going, 'cause I don't." He admitted and looked down at her. He was a good foot taller than her, which was always fun to tease her with. Marcus adjusted himself when Giavannah held onto his neck. It wasn't entirely comfortable but he could deal with it. He looked at their daughter's head and kissed her forehead while following Leila.

Lionel was giggling but stopped when he heard his father's threat. His blue eyes widened and became tear fille when he heard the words. "I'll be good." He whimpered and pressed his face against his chest. Lionel didn't like the word "Beat" that much. He stayed quiet for the rest of rest of the walk. Elise widened her eyes suprised and looked up at him and gave him the thumbs up. Not a lot of thins would make Lionel calm down, so it was all surprising.

HerpDerp03 · Feb 6th 2014

Augustus already had the apple slice between his teeth.Before he bit out a chunk his eyes widened."Who are you calling stupid!?"He shouted,wiggling free of Luca's arms."You know what else is stupid!?"He spat at his sister,throwing the apple at her head."Being a girl is stupid!"His temper got the best of him.He threw himself at her,grabbing her blonde hair and tugging with all his might.Kelli put her head in her hands,exasperated.When she went to look back at Luca she spotted figures walking up the hill.She forgot about her children immediately."Dakota! Astrid!"She cried,shocked.

Dakota was still following Astrid,climbing up the hill.He heard kids screaming and fighting.He then saw the blonde hair and bright blue eyes that belonged to Kelli."Hey!"He called,brightening even more as he walked beside his wife.He saw Augustus and Korra wrestling over an apple slice,yanking and pulling on each other."Bro!"He called,walking away from Astrid and to Luca,giving him a hardy slap on the back."Haven't seen you in forever,man! What's happening?"He still held Cleo,half forgetting about her.

Leila nodded and started off toward the hill,occasionally looking back at Marcus and Giavannah.She sighed,hands cupped under her stomach in nervousness.She was scared.Her stomach was well rounded and huge.She would definitely be giving birth soon.Her eyes flicked to her sandaled feet and she trudged on on the dusty,dirtied roads,not caring how messed up her feet or new sandals got.She looked down at her walrus stomach,scowling.

Adrian sighed and silently nodded to Elise.He walked beside her,following the cobblestone path that wound through the town,heading for the woods.He couldn't possible imagine how everyone must've changed.He had for sure.Growing from shy,quiet and polite to more loud,bold,and in general manly also becoming a lot taller.Elise wasn't looking down at him anymore.He held Lionel quietly,loosing his grip so he could reach out and take Elise's hand.He trusted his son knew better now.

Hawkspark · Feb 6th 2014

Luca grinned slightly at him and gestured to the twins with a sigh "Just those monsters." He joked with the same grin. "How about you?" He asked and looked down at Cleo. He barley remembered the dark haired baby. "How's Cleo?" He asked and smiled down at her. Korra screeched and got knocked down by her brother "You're the stupidest!" She yelled back and started pulling on his hair angrily. She actually had a lot of fights with her twin but they usually made up.

Astrid smiled at Kelli "I haven't seen you forever." She greated her cheerfully. Her and Kelli and a harsh relationship while traveling to Sicily, but they were older now. "How's the twins?" She asked, glancing over at tier fight. Cleo looked at Luca confused, she didn't remember this guy at all "Cleo is good!" She exclaimed "But who are you?" She blurted out.

Marcus was just a little behind Leila. He could tell just by her movements that she was nervous. It was pretty easy to read her movements, they spent more than a month traveling together without being apart once. "Hey. How's the baby?" He whispered to her over her shoulder while holding Giavannah. They were almost there so it was important to ask her now.

Lionel had actually fallen asleep while walking. All is craziness was definitely tiring. He held into Adrian's arm while sleeping silently. Elise looked up at the right forest in front of them. Finally, they were there. "Should we leave him asleep or wake him up." She asked him quietly. If he were awake he would be the Wilde child again, if he were asleep them it would seem like they weren't raising a wild child.

HerpDerp03 · Feb 6th 2014

Kelli sighed and looked over her shoulder."They're um...good?"She laughed lightly,looking over at Dakota,seeing Cleo in his arms,speaking up boldly to Luca like she'd known him her whole life."Cleo's gotten so much bigger!"She looked down at Astrid's stomach,suddenly getting surprised "You're having another baby? Congratulations!"She gasped,smiling.Her eyes flicked down the hill and she spotted to more figures.It was Adrian and Elise.She squinted in disbelief.Those two shy teens actually got enough courage to have a baby? She and Luca had never met Lionel.She suddenly looked disappointed.Where was her brother? Augustus yelled,pulling on her hair as she tugged on his."You're the most stupidest one!"He spat,kicking and trying to bite her arm.They use to look exactly like twins but now as they grew hair and their eye color went from grey to browns and blues they were just becoming siblings.By the time they were teens they'd no longer look alike.

Dakota laughed down at his daughter."Yes,like she said.Cleo is good."He adjusted her so he was more comfortable and looked down at her."His name is Luca.He's an old friend of mine."He glanced at Augustus and Korra,frowning slightly."Hey,Cleo? Why don't you go play with his kids?"He set Cleo down."Try to break up their fight."He suggested,giving her a gentle push."Maybe you can even make new friends."

Leila sighed."Good I guess.He's kicking a lot and hitting.I'm just scared."She whispered back,not wanting to frighten Giavannah by making it obvious she was frightened.She scowled when they finally got to the damned hill."Oh great...now I've gotta climb with my gorilla stomach in the way."She hissed.By the time they got there Adrian and Elsie were just making it the the top with their sleeping Lionel in hand."I might just stay here."Giavannah's eyes widened."No! You gotta come!"She begged."I need my mommy and my daddy!"She complained,doing her signature pouty look that had Marcus written all over it.

Adrian and Elise had agreed not to wake him up.It was a different story if he woke up on his own.Adrian smiled at Kelli and Astrid who seemed to be carrying a happy and friendly conversation."Hey guys..."He smiled,holding Lionel close.His eyes drifted to Cleo,Korra and Augustus.Seemed everyone and their family came along.He gave the girls a polite smile and walked over to the boys."Hey guys.Am I the only one on baby duty?"He gestured to his son who was sleeping soundly with a grin."Wait,where's Marcus ands Leila?"

Hawkspark · Feb 6th 2014

Luca watched her run off then looked up at Adrian who actually had a kid in his hands. His did that happen? He looked at Adrian with a grin and nodded "Yup... My kids can pretty much entertain themselves for hours." He looked down at his kid who was clearly deep in sleep "Wow.. He's calm." He widened his eyes and watched Cleo approach the twins confidently. Korra growled and pulled her arm away before he could bite it "Graecas" she yelled at him and put her arm around his neck tightly as a two year could. Korra perked up and dropped her brother when Cleo came "Oh... Hi!" She tried acting she don't just fight her brother. "What's your name?" She grinned at her

Astrid widened her eyes as she saw a tall and blonde guy talking to Dakota and Luca "Adrian!" She exclaimed and hugged him from behind. She didn't care how weed it looked, he was her brother and she hadn't see him forever. "I missed you!" She looked up at him. He was so tall now. More... Manly. He was so quiet and shy before. Cleo grinned at Augustus and Korra "Cleo..." She answered calmly "You?" She should've been shy going up to kids she never met before but she didn't care. She was outgoing as th rest of then.

Marcus shook his head "You are coming." he stated, agreeing with Giavannah. "Just take baby steps, follow Gia!" He grinned and put her on the ground. Marcus coaxed Gia to walk towards where everyone else was grouped together. Marcus' ideas might seem crazy but they occasionally worked and he wasn't giving up on Leila that quickly. Never did never will. "Unless I get everyone to move up here." He sighed and looked at her with big blue eyes. The look never failed, for him or Giavannah.

Right when Astrid hugged Adrian, Lionel woke up. His blue eyes opened up as fast as a snap of your fingers. He glanced around confused "Daddy! I didn't want to come!" He whined as tears filled up in his eyes. He don't even pay attnetion to the new faces around him. Elise's eyes widened as her son woke up and started whining. "Oh gods..." She hid her face in her hands. At least it would be a surprise that two calm parents doesn't always make a calm kid.

HerpDerp03 · Feb 6th 2014

Kelli smiled at everyone half-heartedly.She watched Astrid and Adrian,wanting to hug her brother.Without meaning too her bottom lip started trembling."I just want my Marcus..."She whimpered like a little kid,talking to herself more than anyone.She missed him dearly.Augustus fell on his face.He grabbed her hand and yanked her backward,standing up."And I'm Augustus! Call me Gus or Auggie!"He exclaimed,grinning.

Dakota watched his wife go up and hug Adrian.He smirked.Adrian was the only Roman who really,really looked like it.Adrian's appearance had changed drastically,too.His hair had went from messy and shaggy to close cropped Roman style.His eyes also gleamed a brilliant sky blue,not to mention he was way taller now and more muscular.(Basically I just changed Adrian to Jason Grace XD) Roman to the core.He chuckled.It was good to see all his friends and how much they'd matured over the course of two years.He jumped when Lionel's whining got louder."Um..your son?"

Leila sighed."Fine,I'll try."She scrambled up the hill,occasionally loosing her footing.Eventually.Oh so slowly,but eventually she'd climbed her way up.Unborn baby and all."H-Hi everyone!"She croaked,pulling herself up."We-We're here!"She flopped on her back,panting.She saw this weird look of extreme joy on Kelli's face like they were the ones she'd been waiting for the whole time. (which,Leila didn't know,was very true) She saw Marcus and Giavannah come up next.She yelped as Kelli squealed loudly and threw herself at Marcus,knocking them both down the hill.They went rolling together,Kelli never letting go of her brother as they went.Giavannah gasped and started to immediately cry.Too many people wanted to see Marcus at the moment but she didn't know it was putting stress on him."DADA!!"She wailed,making grabby hands for the bottom of the hill."COME BACK!!!"She screamed,tears streaming down her face.

Adrian sighed."Yea,yea...I know."He tried not to chuckle as Kelli knocked Marcus down the hill almost as soon as he got up and then Leila's baby started crying.At least he wasn't the only one with a chaotic family.He looked down at Lionel,annoyed."Lionel,go meet new friends and stop crying.Remember what I said earlier."Truthfully,Adrian didn't have the heart to beat Lionel but didn't mind threatening."I'm sure the townsfolk will get a good laugh out of your red,smacked bottom."He placed him down and gave him a gentle nudge toward the twins and Cleo.

Hawkspark · Feb 6th 2014

[align=center][color=black] haha Jason Grace is a cool cat 8)

Luca rolled his eyes at his wife threw herself at Marcus for a hug but tumbled down the hill fast. He couldn't blame her, she hadn't seen her brother in a long time. With just a quick glance at Marcus he could tell he didn't change as much as Adrian did over two years. Maybe taller but that was it. He looked over at Augustus, Korra, and Cleo. They looked fine for now. Korra glared at her bother and shook her head "I can only call you Auggie, stupid!" She shoved him away and looked at Cleo with an innocent smile "You wanna play something." She asked and glanced over at her brother on the ground "Auggie, what can we play?" She asked him

Astrid widened her eyes at the little boy with the messy blonde hair. She still hadn't let go of her brother "Hey idiot, you're not going to notice me or tell me about your son that I didn't even know you had." She looked up at him a little angrily. Cleo grinned and nodded "Yeah I wanna play." She turned around when she heard someone else coming over, a blonde boy. "Him too?" She asked pointing at him

Marcus yelped a little as he was tackled to the ground and started plummeting down the hill. "Who-" he asked and looked down at a blonde girl that he immediately recognized as his sister "Kelli!" He exclaimed and hugged her tight when they stopped rolling down. He looked up at Giavannah and ignored her for a minute. "What's up!" He asked and hugged her tightly again. "I missed you!" He complained and held her tighter and tighter.

Elise watched her son walk over to the ohers with caution, he could turn into a "lion" at any moment now, metaphorically of course. She decided to ignore it and talk to Leila. Lionel saw the others and widened his blue eyes "Hi... I'm lee-o-null.." He tried saying his name the best he could. He studied Augustus, Cle, and Korra briefly.

Kelli buried her face in his chest."Marcus!"She laughed,hugging him back with the same amount of force.Her eyes were filled with joyous tears."I missed you so much!"She kissed his cheek in a sisterly way,of course."How are you?"She whispered,smiling happily as she rested her chin on his shoulder.Augustus fell on his butt."Ow!"He hissed,glaring up at Korra defiantly."I can let other people call me Auggie! Stop being so protective,stupid!"He shoved her and stood up.He scanned Lionel as the blonde boy walked over."Hi! I'm Augustus! That's Cleo! And this is..."He looked over at Korra."Stupid head."

Dakota turned his attention back to Luca."Do your kids always fight like that?"He chuckled."You and Kelli seem to brush it off like nothing ever happened."He raised an eyebrow questioningly.He was glad Cleo had a little more time to grow up before their next baby came along.He wasn't sure how she'd react to that at all and hopefully the more time to mature the more time to explain he and Astrid wouldn't be able to attend Cleo's every need.

Leila looked up at Elise."Oh..."She panted."Hi Elise...is that your son?"She managed in between gasps.Her hand drifted protectively to her stomach.Just a random mother instinct.Her eyes traveled up to the once shy girl who always was quiet."And I-I see Adrian grew into...someone else."She forced herself up with a loud groan of physical and mental effort.Giavannah whimpered even louder,not sure how to get down the hill without falling.She stomped her foot and wiped her tears,marching over to the other kids.She might as well hang with them then.

Adrian looked over his shoulder and down at Astrid."Oh! Sorry Astrid!"He turned and embraced her small frame."I was dealing with my son...Lionel."He smiled and gestured to his lion of a son with a careless wave."He's...interesting.But how are you? Nothing's really happened in my life except a little monster entered it.Other than that it's been pretty bland.But knowing you...you went on some cool adventure,sword fighting and killing monsters."He joked,just trying to make a point that Astrid was...different.

Luca shrugged "Eh, They're two years old. They can't actually hurt one another. Plus, once they are at it there's no stopping them." He sighed with managed a small grin. He watched as all the other kids starte to group together by Augustus and Korra. They seemed to get along... So far. Korra looked up at him and grabbed his leg, pulling him off balance "Stop being stupid, stupid!" She spat at him with fiery eyes. She looked up again and looked at Cleo, Lionel, and Giavannah "So, you guys want to play something?" She asked, occasionally looking down at her brother. Her and Augustus were the oldest of the group so they had to set a good example, but they were two! What did they know?!

Astrid grinned up at him. She wanted to see Lionel but he was playing with the other kids, she'd see him later. "No.. Nothing extraordinary like that. Just Cleo and another one on the way." She gestured to her stomach which was starting to show more and more. "But you're lookin' good." She teased him and messed with his now shorter hair. Cleo was having a rough time trying to figure out the twins. They seemed nice if you approached the right moment. But now they were fighting "I don't mind... I'll play anything." She shrugged as looked at Korra. Weren't siblings suppose to look the same? Gus and Korra didn't look anything a like, except their personalities.

Marcus shrugged and looked down at her with a big smile "I'm fine. Gia is good, Leila is good. How's the twins and Luca?" He asked her as he helped her up. It was hard to think of it all. It seemed like just yesterday him an Kelli were just toddlers. Time went by fast, but he had no regrets. He saw Gia disappeared at the top of the hill, but she probably met up with the other kids so he didn't dwell on the thought too much. Kelli looked like she was handling the whole parenting thing pretty well. Which he never had doubts about.

Elise looked at Leila worried "Hey, I think you need to sit down." She gestured to the trees. She was panting like she just ran to Rome and back. After a minute of settling down by the trees, Elise started to actually make a conversation with her. Like before but not with one person hyperventilating. "How's Gia?" She asked her simply "Marcus handling the whole parenting thing well?" Lionel raised an eyebrow at the two fighting. He'd never had a sibling so he wasn't really Familiar with the "playing" thing. "How about tag?" He offered with a shrug. The nap he took definitely calmed him down a lot.

Kelli smiled,standing up with him."The kids are fine...not really twins anymore.Luca is great."She looked up the hill with a smirk."And I see Leila's pregnant? How many kids are you guys planning to have? Knowing you it would be like twenty."She joked,starting to think about her family."But Luca's trying to convince me to get pregnant again...I'm not sure,though.Three or four children? All for what? Luca's pleasure?"Augustus returned Korra with the same unknowing look."Sure...tag sounds good."He murmured.He stood beside her.It was funny.If any of his new friends looked at Korra wrong he'd have punched them in the face yet he'd fight with her in a millisecond.His eyes strained on Giavannah,his cousin.

Dakota smiled."Are you and Kelli planning on having anymore? I might ask Astrid again...if she's willing.Or maybe just for fun."He shrugged casually like this was what guys normally talked about.With a sigh he cast a furtive glance at Cleo.His Egyptian daughter looked nothing like a Roman which could get her killed.He worried about having another.What if the same thing happened and Astrid made another Egyption? Giavannah watched her cousins."I'll be it!"She laughed."I'll give you guys a head start!"She tucked a piece of stringy brown hair behind her ear,watching as her new friends started giggling and running.

Leila smiled and nodded."I love him so much."She was tempted go get up and check on him but knew she couldn't move."How about your son? Lionel? When did...that happen?"She raised an eyebrow.She and Marcus had planned on having as many kids as possible.Maybe up to 6 kids? "You planning on having anymore? Marcus and I have four more to go."She laughed."We swore on six kids.A deal made from both of us.I adore him so much."

Adrian smiled and stroked her head."Huh...oh really? I don't feel so handsome.I feel rugged and worn down.My monstrosity of a son really jacked me up.I guess I became more like dad.Rough and hardened."He remembered Cato with a sigh.He missed his parents.By now they were surely dead but he still missed them still.He looked down at her."But what about you? How is the Egyptian?"He teased,raising an eyebrow.

Luca shrugged "I want more but I don't think Kelli does... But I'll do whatever she wants." He nodded and chuckled lightly at Dakota "Hey Astrid, how so you feel about that?" He snickered and looked over at the blonde. Korra's eyes lit up and she dashed into the trees. To be honest, Korra would do the same for her brother. Sure they had their differences but that didn't mean anyone could just make fun of him. She glanced around to see if anyone had followed her trail.

Astrid perked up and looked over at Luca and Dakota. She suddenly glared at Dakota "No." She stated simply then looked back at her brother. "Which one? I got two now." She smirked and glance over to where all the kids ran off to. Cleo had the latest start. She then suddenly realized she should run, and fast. She ran as fast as her legs would carry her which resulted in falling a lot. She stayed determined and kept running/falling into the forest.

Marcus grinned at her slightly "We are having five... So ya.. Long way to go." He laughed. He dropped his laugh and raised his eyebrow at her "Hey, he can't tell you what to do!" He started getting protective of his older sister. He never really liked Luca, I mean sure he had to since Kelli was married to him but- it was complicated.

Elise smiled at her "Lionel is... Fun. But we are sticking with just one kid." She nodded and widened her eye a little at the mention of five kids. "Wow... That's a lot of mouths to feed." She said a little quieter than before. Leila seemed to really love Marcus. Elise thought they would've gotten tired of each other, apparently not. Lionel smirked and sprinted into the forest. He glance around trying to find somewhere more secretive to go. He looked up at a tree and his eyes brightened. He was only two so he obviously couldn't climb a tree. But you better bet he was going to try to.
