VERY late Bday Fic for CC2!

[mrcrybrilliance]

So very sorry that this has taken me so long.  I started it several times and then discarded it.  I think I'm happy with it now.

And yes, there will probably be a part two to this.

I apologize in advanced as, though I do consider it a very real sport, I know absolutely nothing about the sport mentioned in this piece and will probably need much

Comments

love it ^_^

Reasons why I love this:

1. Collin
2. Collin (he's so good I had to (put him down twice). I want him to be my uncle.
3. Charis and Riley are absolutely adorable. Especially when they were choosing surfboard. I want them to be my kids

As I said, I know nothing about surfing, so I didn't know about the styrofoam board thing, but we'll go with your reasoning as for why they're skipping it!

They will be in wetsuits, but cold doesn't really bother either of them. But they'd probably stand out not being in wetsuits in Ireland water.

I'm glad you like Collin and Zoe and the whole family!

Actually, it's Charis he took by surprise. Ami knows he knows. She would have rolled her eyes at the Neptune comment except that she was busy expressing her loving thanks to her children and can easily ignore her wife and brother-in-law's bantering.

One was a rather simple board, blue with light orange curlicues that reminded him of Zoe’s curls--his own hair was kept too short to adequately display the trademark Emerson curls. The other board had a pair of Common Dolphins playing upon it.

I loved that line by the way, it's probably my favourite. But's it's not my favourite character, because that would be Collin.

I know it doesn't really make sense, but I just wanted an excuse to say that I like Collin.

You describe the board really well tying it in nciely with a description with Zoe's hair and highlighting the difference between the twins.

I also love that they decide they're going to teach Ami how to surf. It's almost expected that she would already know, but she doesn't! Still, no matter what she's the senshi of, I'm betting she's going fall off the board, ass-first, at least for the first few tries. And Zoe will document this on film. I will worship you if you write this.

Collin.

I actually found a picture for the board. When I saw it (I'd originally been planning on the kids picking out a dolphin one) I was like, OMG THAT'S IT!

[charliechaplin2]

Changed my mind. This is the cutest line and therefore my favourtie:

Smiling, Charis nodded, “Riley’s right. Mama loves dolphins, but she loves Máthair more.”

Yes. Definitely.

[mrcrybrilliance]

Yeah, Charis inherited her Mama's romantic bone.

To be fair, she's also right.
