Deirdre had been relaxing in her large living area in the basement, enjoying her free time while the twins were staying at Giles' house. She heard commotion over her head, however, and jumped up to see what it was.
She took the stairs two at a time, awkward limbs long enough to make that easy, and burst through the door to see Jude and Parker standing there. Stephie, Marie and Josie were there too, but that was normal.
"JUDE!" Deirdre bellowed, dashing over to pull the sightly taller girl into a hug. "Jude's here! STEPHIE, it's Jude and Parker!" she said, her voice almost sing-song.
