The same day that Lucy had had her twins, just so happened to be the day that Kenzie’s father was welcoming his own son into the world. The world around Kenzie had never felt so small as it had that day, when she’d been in the hospital visiting both her step-mother, and one of her closest friends. Unfortunately, things hadn’t gone smoothie for Lucy, one of the twins hadn’t made it. Something that was still haunting Kenzie at night, the idea that Lucy had carried those babies inside of her for so long, only for one to never make it. It was heartbreaking, how could whatever Gods that were out there let it happen? She was still struggling early Saturday morning, and so she packed herself up, and made her way over to her father’s house. Maybe seeing them and her new brother would help make everything feel a little more right.

The messy twenty-something showed up via apparation into the entryway. She was dressed in a pair of boyfriend jeans that hugged those slender hips, and a simple black tank that exposed her midriff. Dark curls were pulled back into a large messy ponytail, a few tendrils slipping out here and there to frame her slender face.

“It’s just me!” she called out, though she was certain her father had already felt her tripping his wards. She wouldn’t have been surprised if he had some sort of magical gadget that warned him before any of his children just popped in.

Kenzie didn’t wait for a reply, she was already heading towards the sound of her family in the other room. She could tell someone else was there, just not who it was. She wondered if one of her siblings, or Jasper, had popped in to see the little bundle.

Summer was always a busy time for Hailey on the circuit, and this weekend was no different. She'd been able to be at the hospital on Wednesday, waiting for her baby brother to come into the world, but she hadn't been able to stay or visit every day since. She'd had to get to Bern for a pre-qualifier yesterday, and she would be returning for the first official round this afternoon, but she'd wanted to pop back in for another little visit with Theseus.

She was sat on the sofa in the family room, her newest baby brother bundled up and in her arms. His skin was so pale, which was so mind-boggling. Even though neither of her siblings had particularly dark skin at birth, their mixed race heritage was still obvious, but this baby was all pale, creamy skin and big, vibrant blue eyes that looked so much like their father's that it caused the deepest of pangs in her chest. All of her siblings, including her new step-siblings, had the dark eyes of their black parents. And yet, Theseus was as much a part of their family as any of them, and despite the pain pinging in her heart, it also swelled with love for the tiny being.

Hailey glanced up when Kenzie came into the room, smiling at her sister. "Hey babe, you can't take him. Theseus loves me best!" she declared teasingly, causing their dad to chuckle from the armchair across from her.

"Hailey!" was a bit of a shriek, but instead of going over to steal the infant from Hailey, she went over to their father. She was the baby of the family, and so she believed she was never too old to cuddle with their father. She greeted him in his chair, sliding into his lap sideways so she could hug him. "That's fine, I've got dibs on pop," she said happily from his armchair.

"Aren't you supposed to be doing bad ass things?" she asked curiously, in her own way asking just why her sister was home with them. She'd get up and move in a moment, for the moment she was enjoying feeling like the baby still. Maybe her father having another baby, an actual baby, was getting to her. Just a little.

Hailey stuck her tongue out at her sister even as their father chuckled and curled an arm around his youngest daughter. She was sure that no matter how old she and Kenzie got, dad would never stop thinking of them as his little girls. It was nice, in a way she didn't want to admit, to be reminded of that.

"I will be doing badass things! I had a qualifier yesterday and another round this afternoon, but I just had to pop back in for some baby brother snuggles," she said, her voice going far more cutesy than she would ever admit on the last few words, and she gave the bundle in her arms a few gentle bounces. He was too young to really jostle and bounce yet, but he didn't seem to mind the little bit of movement.

Kenzie was always impressed with Hailey's career, especially with her now having the title under her belt. She was so cheering her sister on to win it twice in a row, if anyone deserved it, it was Hailey. Her smile was large and proud as Hailey explained all of the things she'd done thus far. She was doing bad ass things. "Sounds fantastic, can I tag along?" she asked curiously, unable to stop herself from asking. She enjoyed watching the Duelists.

"How is the little guy?" she asked the room at large, though she didn't make an effort to get up just yet. Just one more minute, she was enjoying feeling little again. There was something about Hailey being there too that helped the feeling. Not for the first time, she realized they felt like a family. Even in his new home with Aunt Zee, she still felt right at home.

At the question, Hailey's brows furrowed, and she tilted her head as she looked at her sister. "You don't have filming this weekend? I mean, yeah, if you're free, you're totally welcome to come along," she added, not wanting Kenzie to think she was against the idea. She just knew that Kenzie's filming schedule could be grueling at times.

Looking down at Theseus again, Hailey sighed happily. "He's perfect," she said, lifting a hand to trail the tip of one finger gently down his ridiculously soft face. He blinked up at her with blue-green eyes that were surprisingly bright and clear for how young he was. It was still strange to have a sibling with such light skin and eyes, but he was beautiful and perfect, and she wasn't sure there was a limit to the love she felt for him. Was that how she would feel if she and Penny ever had kids? Would Penny ever want that?

Did she have filming? She'd have to check again. "I'll have to check my schedule, filming ends soon. They want to get all of the reshoots and things in before we're all gone," she admitted, she'd pull up her schedule later. Closer to when the two were going to be leaving.

Listening to Hailey had Kenzie grinning, she wondered if kids were something her sister wanted with Penny. She knew Hailey wanted kids of her own, she just couldn't see Hailey's girlfriend wanting them. It didn't fit with the love story Kenzie had wrote up for them in her head, but then, their relationship didn't fit into her love story either. She supposed you truly couldn't stop love.

Kenzie got up from her father's lap then, giving him a quick kiss to the cheek, before was falling into a seat next to Hailey. "How are things with Penny?" she asked in a softer voice, though she was certain her father would hear anyway. Kenzie wasn't always the best at keeping secrets from the man.

Hailey nodded at the explanation. "My portkey leaves at one, so just let me know." It wasn't like the portkey would only work for one person, and Kenzie would be more than welcome to stay in her hotel room. There was only one bed, but it wouldn't be the first time the sisters had been forced to bunk together.

When Kenzie sat next to her, she leaned over, nudging her with her shoulder gently. "Things are brilliant with Penny," she said with a contented sigh. Things were so much better with Penny than she'd ever dared to hope, and she desperately wanted to believe that it could stay like this, that it could grow into more, into everything she'd always wanted. She'd tried so hard not to push things too fast, not to spook her girlfriend, but she knew she was getting restless. She couldn't help wanting more.

It sounded doable, but she'd have to check. She nodded at her sister, already making a mental note to grab out her phone so that she'd be able to check with her filming schedule.

A warm happy laugh left her at Hailey's nudging, grinning at her sister. "Good," she said happily, finally looking down at the little snow white bundle in Hailey's arms. Didn't that look so weird too, little soft white bundle with bright eyes. She could see her father, even see similar features that the little shared with herself and Hailey. Yet, it still felt so weird to be sitting there together, looking down at their little brother. A brother she shared with Jasper. Gods, that made her head hurt. "That's just so weird," was blurted out before she could stop herself.

At Kenzie's outburst, Hailey laughed and nodded. "I know what you mean. He looks a lot like dad though, doesn't he? Poor little bloke." She peeked over at dad, not quite able to hide her amusement at the ribbing, and Zee managed to walk into the room at just that moment. She watched as her dad reached out to snag Aunt Zee's hand before she could walk by, brushing his lips over her knuckles.

"I need to duck into the loo. Want to hold him?" she asked Kenzie, shifting to transfer the little bundle of cuteness to her sister.

That wasn't exactly what she had found so weird, but it was one of the many things. She nodded her head though, eyes unable to leave the little face. She was trying to find some features he shared with Jasper. She was most definitely not thinking about what she and Jasper's children would look like. That was just downright ridiculous.

Saved from saying or doing anything stupid, she nodded her head at her sister. "I'll take him," she said as she held her hands out for a transfer. Eyes nervously glanced up at their father and aunt, her aunt had bent to kiss their father properly now. They were so in love, something none of the kids could deny. What if they shared a grandchild, she wondered to herself, before eyes were moving back to the little bundle in her arms.

"Ken-zee," she cooed softly, "You'll say my name first," she promised the tiny bundle.

As much as she didn't want to stop holding her baby brother, Hailey knew she needed a minute to recompose herself, to settling the swirling thoughts in her mind away from her dad's too-observant gaze. She handed the little bundle over carefully, taking another brief moment to brush knuckles gently over his cheek before she got up to head to the loo.

She heard Kenzie's words before she left the room, and she glared at her sister. "Hah, you wish! Hailey's way easier to say than Kenzie! It's totally going to be my name first," she said decisively. And before Kenzie had a chance to respond, she slipped down the hallway and into the loo.

Kenzie stuck her tongue out at Hailey, laughing as she looked back to the babe. "Ken-zee," she whispered again, giggling softly as soon as she said it. She was certain if she just worked at it, that maybe Theseus would say Kenzie first. Maybe she should shorten her name, or find some sort of nickname.

Within moments she had legs propped up up on the table, infant laying there between her thighs, carefully playing with little fingers and toes. He couldn't do much just yet, still just laying there mostly. She enjoyed how small all of his little digits were, lightly squeezing each one with wonder. She definitely wanted one of these, eventually. Maybe twenty years from now. Maybe when she was closer to her father's age, she mused to herself.
