In one corner, we have Valentine Wiggin-Skywalker, two babies on the table in front of her. She is attempting to feed one while reading something on her datapad. Beside her is a (non-familiar) golden 'droid fussing at the other. Val seems more than slightly peeved at the 'droid's presence.

Peter Simons is at a table, a few cookbooks around him,

Juliet walks up behind Peter and stands on her tippy toes looking over his shoulder with a tiny smile.

"What's all this?"

[lifetimerole]

Peter turns, a huge grin on his face. "This, my dear Juliet, is a plan for our dinner that we're cooking for people." He pushes some papers aside for her to sit down. "However, I was thinking that we could start with something simple just for us. What kinds of things do you like?"

[star_crossed1]

Juliet can't help the way her tiny smiles becomes a bright, wide one at the sight of the expression on his face.

She takes a seat after he's cleared the paper and looks at the book nearest to her, pulling it into her lap. Her eyes shine with curiosity.

"Oh. I am afraid I do not know most foods that other people here do. Everything I ever ate in my own world was very... simple." Juliet glances at him. "My favorite was fruit. Apples, oranges, pears... so sweet. It was always a treat."

[lifetimerole]

"That's alright." Peter pauses, then grins. "Alright. I think we should make a pie. Apples, sugar, and flour and water and butter for a crust. And perhaps some cinnamon in the filling too." He stands and offers her an arm. "Shall we?"

Rose comes in, looking like this, all pink - pink skirt, pink pumps, pink hair scarf, pink sunglasses.

She looks startled, like she expected to see someplace else, then frowns. This place is certainly familiar, but she can't put her finger on why.

Regardless, the Doctor is definitely not here.

But! There are babies! And a robot! That looks... rather like that one from Star Wars. Huh. But babies! So cute!

"'Allo, there," she says to one of them.

[empath_wiggin]

Valetine looks up and smiles. "They're cute, aren't they?" She beams, the grin of a new mother. "You're welcome to hold one of them. Just kick the 'droid. It's getting annoying anyway."

[theresme]

Rose giggles, and shyly picks up the nearest - the little boy, not that she can tell. "Oh," she catches her breath. "They're so tiny..."

[empath_wiggin]

Ender waves a bitty hand at her, as Valentine grins. A tiny wave of comfort sweeps across Rose.

"They are." Valentine points at the baby in Rose's arms. "That's Ender, and the other is Padme." Beat. "And I'm Valentine."

Snow is here with her twins, fortunately without any droids. All three are smiling, and Snow is trying to keep Millie and Wade from rushing forward to see the babies.

They still need to grasp the concept that not all children are as durable as they were at that age.

Snow speaks up, "Good evening, Val. Need any help?" It"s unclear if she means by taking one of the kids or finding the droid"s off switch

[empath_wiggin]

Val beams. "Snow! Oh, it's wonderful to see you." She stands, kicking the 'droid in the process and hugs the other woman. "Oh, you're welcome to hold someone. This is Ender, and this is Padme. They're about two months old."

[fairest1]

Snow hugs her back. "It's good to finally see them again. They're beautiful -- and Millie and Wade have been wanting to see them too."

The twins are peering over at the children. Wade has a distinct advantage in this.

[empath_wiggin]

Valentine beams. "Here. I'll sit down with them." She takes both twins and sits on the ground, lying the babies in her lap. "Millie, Wade, these are Ender and Padme. I hope you guys will be friends when you're all older."

[first_wiggin]

By bugger-lover, as Val would probably call Peter?

"Hey, Val."

[empath_wiggin]

Valentine is in the middle of attempting to feed Ender. Looking up, she blinks. "Oh. Peter. Hi." Ender squirms a bit and wrinkles his little nose.

[first_wiggin]

Peter glances at the baby in Val's arms. "You're babysitting, I see." Pause. "Mom always did prefer you to babysit Ender, as I recall. Can't think of why..."

[empath_wiggin]

"Peter. For Force's sake, you're a Wiggin. Use your kriffing eyes." She raises an eyebrow at him.

Padme squirms in the 'droid's arms, noisily.
