[soon there was a small commotion in the house as Wander's siblings hv received the msg frm Wildflower abt Hater's birth]
Firefly: Ooh, where's my little nieces and nephews~? Ur Aunty Firefly is here!
Treetrunk: Calm dwn, Firefly. It's still too early for u to make a ruckus
Wander: (chuckle) You'll see them soon enough, guys.
Hugo: Yeah, slow dwn, guys. Let's hv breakfast first. I'm starved
Firefly: Ur always stuffing ur face, Hugo |-(
Wit: (giggle)
Wander: Hater's with them right now, still resting.
Hugo: Is he OK? Was it a tough birth or smooth sailing?
Treetrunk: There's no such thing as a smooth sailing birth, Hugo u silly
Wander: It was a little rough on him but he's doing okay.
Hugo: I didn't mean a literal smooth sailing, I meant without complications, dumbo
Firefly: |-( Geez, I swear u guys still fight like pups
Wildflower: (giggle) All my pups here, just like old times
Wander: ^^;; Yup.
[soon Hater came downstairs carrying the pups in the baby basket, the sound of them squeaking n squealing in hunger could be heard]
Hater: Wander, u dwn there? The pups r hungry
Wander: :) Right here, Hatey.
Hater: [followed where his voice was n sees the siblings] Oh hey guys
Firefly: Hatey~~! R those the puppies?? (hearteyes)
Treetrunk: Geez, calm dwn, woman! (facepalm)
Wander: (giggle) Yup, there's your nephews and nieces.
Hater: :) [sets the baby basket dwn on the bigger couch so that all of Wander's siblings could see]
Firefly: Aww... They're adorable~~ (hearteyes)
Treetrunk: Two of each species. That's interesting
Hugo: Which is which?
Wander: (points out each pup) Dipper, Orion, Hope, Miracle, Midnight and Scarlett.
Treetrunk: How many boys and girls?
Hater: 2 boys, 2 girls n 2 intersex each [pointed at which one was which gender]
Wander: (nod) Now where'd I put that...? (looking for the device to feed the pups)
Hater: [dug it out of the baby basket] U left it in the room. Here [hands it to him]
Wander: Thanks. (places it on)
Firefly: Huh? Ur feeding the pups? Shouldn't tht be Hatey's job?
Hater: I don't hv the "equipment" for it, since I'm only half-girl... [blushes]
Wander: And Mama's given me special pills so that I'm able to feed them myself.
Treetrunk: That's sweet, both of u sharing the duties equally
Hater: U can say that :) [helps him by putting the nipples into the pups'mouths]
Wander: :) (watches the pups feed)
Wit: ^^ So cute.
Firefly: Aww.... I just wanna squish these little itty-bitty furballs~~ They're so cute!! [squealed in delight]
Hater: Pls don't... ^^;;
Treetrunk: Control urself, girl, seriously
Hugo: |-(
Wisp: ^^;; You'll have to excuse her, she's baby crazy like Mama is. (turns to Wildflower) No offense, Mama.
Wildflower: (giggle) None taken. I'm glad someone is just as enthusiastic as I am
Firefly: Hmph! I'll hv a little brood of my own someday, you'll see
Treetrunk: Say it again wen u hv to go thru the labour process :p
Wander: (giggle) (keeping his eye on the pups)
Hater: [watches them too, occasionally stroking them as the pups suckled from their daddy hungrily]
Wander: :) (smiles happily)
Hugo: So, any chances of wedding bells ringing there?
Hater: Umm, maybe, but not too soon...
Wander: Yeah, we still need to free Hatey somehow from slavery.
Treetrunk: Oh right, they got this thing against marrying slaves n whatnot
Hater: That's wat I was afraid of
Wit: You sure there isn't at least some loophole in this whole thing? Or is it air tight?
Treetrunk: It's pretty airtight frm wat I heard. Slaves are considered property, not ppl, n u don't marry other ppl's property, as they state. So if u want to tie the knot, Hatey has to be free, or he would be alerted to the trade n taken bk
Hater: [a slight fear crossed his face at the thought]
Wander: (grips Hater's hand) Well if they want to take him back, they have to get past me first.
Hugo: Wat abt getting married in secret? No ceremony, no legalities, nothing
Treetrunk: Then that wouldn't be a binding marriage, coz they're not legally married, thus they won't be recognized as actual husband and wife. U knw how the galactical rules are
Wander: (sighs, a little frustrated)
Sylvia: [just got out of the kitchen with her breakfast in hand n sees the crowd] Ooh, the Wander brood is here :D
Firefly: Hey there, Syl~ U look mighty chipper today
Sylvia: I'm always chipper :)
Wander: What's got you in such a good mood?
Sylvia: Geez, u guys, do I need a reason to be in a good mood? :^)
Hater: Uhh... Maybe...?
Wander: ... (smirk) Does this have to do with Peepers?
Wit: She got a boyfriend now?
Sylvia: Ugh, he's NOT my boyfriend! Stop saying that! Ur ruining my mood now!
Hater: Not frm wat I heard coming out of ur room wen I got up for a midnight snack a mth ago...
Sylvia: SHHH~~!!! [tries to cover Hater's mouth] U heard wrong! It's ur word against mine! And it's one mth ago, u can't trust ur memories! ><;;
Wander: (blinked) Sylvia...? :|
Sylvia: [looked sideways at nothing in particular] Huh, wat? Janet, is tht u calling? Sorry, gtg [zoomed off faster than a speeding bullet]
Hater: Well tht was weird
Firefly: No, tht was DENIAL :D
Wander: (blinks again, then frowns) She needs a good talking to if she did what I think she's done...
Hater: Oh don't worry abt it, Wander. I'm not supposed to say this but... [whispered to his ear abt wat Peepers told him] ...yeah, that's the gist of it. N it happened way bk wen tht thing happened with ur mom being out of breath. It's all consensual
Wander: :o ... (facepalm) Ugh, that Zbornak. What am I gonna do with her...? (smirk)
Hater: (giggle) Just let her deal with her own personal feelings. We'll give her the support wen the time comes
Wander: (nod) We sure will.
Wildflower: Oops, I think u were supposed to ask for her help to scout out the procedures for freeing Hatey frm slavery
Wander: ^^;; Oh shoot, forgot that. (sees the babies had their fill)
Hater: I'll burp them. U go aftr her n ask for her help [picks up the babies]
Firefly: I'll help burp them too~ [takes the rest Hater didn't carry n burped them]
Wander: :) (removes the device and gets up to go after Sylvia)
[all the siblings took turns to cuddle n play with the babies while Wander left]
