Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Saturday Evening
The store was closed, and the door was locked -- safer that way -- and Rikku was trying not to tear up a little.
Janice was contentedly clapping her hands and chattering to herself, and she smelled like baby and sunshine and win, and Rikku was going to miss her so, so, so much.
She'd passed on the news to Temari the ever-lurking and Reno the trying-not-to-admit-he-was-smitten. They'd bundled up the wee one and had brought down everything they could grab in a hurry, in case Cable wouldn't have time to stop for supplies before getting to wherever she was headed. Diapers, food, toys that squeaked. The crib wasn't very portable, so it was still in her room. She had a feeling it was going to make her wibble, later.
"Who has such pretty eyes?" she cooed, watching the door. Tense. If it was anyone other than Cable who burst in .... "Such pretty eyes. So pretty."
(Reno and Temari modded with permission. For them and Cable, please.)
