Charlotte was excited to get out and help Stella. She looked up at the door dinged. She was working on getting Constance all bundled up. 'Stan' as her daddy had taken to calling her was going to be spending the afternoon with daddy over at the pub while mommy went shopping with Stella. As perpetual mother time was beginning to set into Charlotte's life. She was annoyingly unpunctual. Before she had had Constance, Charlotte was annoying punctual, usually early to everything

"Oh, I'm sure she's worth it," Stella replied, coming over to greet her new goddaughter with a kiss on the forehead, and Charlotte with a wide grin.

"And don't worry about it- I'll just say hello to Caleb and meet you outside." As she made her suggestion, Stella glanced over to where Caleb was, helping out a customer at the register.

"Yes, she is wort' it." she said with a smile and a nod before she scooped up the baby, mindful of her head. She was such a smart baby. She said her good-byes to Caleb and Anna with a distracted way and "Bon Soir." Then she took her little angel off and settled her in with daddy.

Oh yes, she was not all that happy that mommy was leaving. She let her daddy know it with those lovely Finnigan lungs that his family had given to her. She kissed Seamus' cheek and left him with wailing baby. Afterall, as they had discussed, they couldn't baby her and let her get all attached to one rather then both. It would just make her hard to deal with when she was older and sitters came into the picture.

Plus, she'd calm down after a few minutes of daddy attention. Charlotte bounced off to go shopping. She was almost back to her pre-baby weight which she was thoroughly enjoying. She had been a little anal about getting her belly back into shape, mostly because she was rather vain. "So now we can go. Promise me zat I won't 'ave to wear pink, oui?"

After the customer left, Stella enjoyed a brief moment with Caleb before stepping back outside to wait for Charlotte.

Stella was glad Charlotte seemed so excited about this- the young mother seemed to be handling everything very well so far, and Stella was happy that she would be able to be a part of the wedding.

"No, no pink," Stella laughed as she and Charlotte started walking down Diagon Alley. "I had to promise Remus that too, by the way. Is there something about me that screams 'pink' for some reason?" Stella asked, finding it funny that she'd needed to reassure them both.

"As a matter of fact, you can choose whatever color dress you'd like, as long as it doesn't clash with the red and white roses." Stella had settled on the flowers almost immediately- she loved roses, after all, and red and white looked lovely together.
