(Holy Timeskip Batman!)

I never thought I'd have kids. Seriously. That was something that just wasn't going to happen. Now I have four. Three girls and a boy. A pubescent girl. A girl who thinks she is just like her big sister, only with better fashion sense. A girl who is still adjusting to being in a family again and trying to figure out just why her birth mother isn't

You are rambling. I would not cry over destroyed opponents. I glued a few of the severed straw figures together and she said I just didn't get it. Can you enlighten me?

Noriko fell asleep. I just tucked her in. Eve and I are watching...something that's colorful and rated G.

Private to Terry

All of that sounds good. Especially the meat. I'll dig up the extra futon.

[americal_angel]

You love my rambling. I was able to stop myself this time. It's the hormones. She has been like that all week. She'll be getting her first period soon. Your brother is probably going through the same thing with Asoka.

I'll be in there in a minute. I'm going to finish feeding Kentarou and put him to bed. Kanya is staying in her room tonight. Might want to warn Eve to be quiet when she goes to bed.

Private to Genichirou

I wonder if we should just let them stay in Noriko's room. She's been sneaking into bed with us every night anyway so a week extra won't be too bad. She's bringing bbq sauce and anything else she can manage to get through customs. Can you believe we've been married 7 years already? Well...in three days anyway.

[kendomasters]

Sometimes it can be very impressive. ....Oh.

All right. I'll let Eve know, she's falling asleep on me as we speak.

Private to Terry

That might be a good idea. Mm. ...It doesn't feel like seven years.

[americal_angel]

I am just impressed that you pay attention to me when I start. I don't know how to help her. I might have her spend the day with Amaya soon so they can talk about it.

Kentarou just rolled over to your side of the bed. I almost want to say we might have some time to ourselves but I don't want to jinx anything.

Private to Genichirou

Yuki offered to talk to Noriko a bit. I think it might help her, and she trusts Yuki. How much are you drooling now? The sauce she's bringing is amazing. You'll love it. It's been amazing. I think we have the best and most amazing family around.

[kendomasters]

You say good things sometimes. That might be a good idea.

He's drooling on my arm. You don't have to say it for it to be true.

Private to Terry

Hn. I can drive her to Yukimura's tomorrow if you'd like. ...About as much as Kentarou Yes.

[americal_angel]

Only sometimes?

But usually when I say that we might have a night alone we end up with a bed full of kids. Do you want me to move him? I'm almost finished getting his bottles ready for tomorrow.

Private to Genichirou

Well Yuki said that he was going to come over this weekend to spar with you and I think he'll take her out for a bit after. You are adorable. We should have a family portrait done.

[kendomasters]

By that I mean always.

It's fine.

Private to Terry

All right. Hn. I'll take it.

[americal_angel]

Nice save. I'm impressed.

God that child eats a lot. Are you sure he's not biologically yours? Soon he'll be crying for steak.

Private to Genichirou

I need to call Noriko's aunt. I hate talking to her but I want to get all of the pictures that she has from Noriko's mother's house. I hope she hasn't destroyed them yet.

....Genichirou. It's a family portrait. You will be in it.

[kendomasters]

I try.

Nature and nurture are two different things.

Private to Genichirou

If you want I can talk with her. I think she was frightened of me.
