"I want to see my babies," Rose snarled, "Let me go to them." she could hear all three of her children sobbing, mostly likely due to hunger for their mother's milk.
==================================================================================================== ==============================
"I want to be strong for you," Alice said with determination.
"But they're here." Maxine pointed out as she carried the babies to Rose, all three of them being orderly put inside a large stroller.

"Thanks." Jared smiled before kissing Alice.
Rose immediately ran over and picked up Amber and Claudia before beginning to nurse them.
"It's okay, babies..." Rose whispered soothingly as she fed her daughters, "Mommy's here now. No one's going to hurt you..."
"I would ask for your past, but I think that I don't want to see the skeletons." Natalie said, getting up and walked to the beach, plopping down for a sunbath.
"Hmm. Sounds like some of the trails of the Oni back home." Kuroki said, standing on her hind legs and looked on with a paw over her brows.
"Well they look happy too." Alistair smiled at Rose.

"More or less." Elise nodded her head at Kuroko. "I just hope Jared can do it."
"The fact you know there's skeletons in my closet means I really need to be more careful." Dirk mused out loud. "And if you heard about a tenth of them you'd end up swimming away faster than you could imagine."
Amber watched them for a moment with a smile, glad they all had gotten back home safely without a scratch. "And they are all safe, they were probably also scared during that scene" Amber commented.
"Same here." Kuroki said, suddenly sporting a veil to cover her face, as if to imitate a kuroko.
"There's skeletons in everyone's closet. Although yours sound a little graphic." The mermaid said, looking at Dirk.
Shinn and Noan were talking inside of the principal's office. "So this is the thing you asked me to get."
"Yep, thanks for that." Shinn nodded his head and smiled. "I only wish things could've gone better, I didn't think Van's family would be so heartless so as to do something like that." he pointed out out.
"Just one question though, why did you help him to begin with?" Noah asked.
"I felt bad for him." Shinn shrugged. "I would've acted the same way in his situation...okay not the same way...but I could understand his motives." he pointed out while crossing his arms. "That's why I let Rose take this one, I mean my aunt's too old and too famous so they would've figured it out in a singe, plus she's a lesbian." he pointed out.
"Of course before the whole Van thing presented himself I had already made plans for the notepad thing." he said and put. "I was originally going to send you and Dirk to invade the castle but things changed after Van came in." he explained. "Aside from that I knew that Dirk wouldn't be able to follow the cover once we decided on the plan so I pulled him out, plus I didn't want Zephyr to get worried." he nodded his head sagely.
"So that was it." Noah said while staring at the principal.
"Dirk's good, he's strong, experienced but..." he looked down at the notepad and opened it up slightly. "He sitll doesn't know what really is to live, nor does he know how to put his pride aside."
"Very." Dirk said. "And now if you'll excuse me. I will be back momentarily." He vanished without a trace.
"So basically instead of putting me into the hot zone you put a woman who insisted on bringing her three newborns?" Dirk heard the tail end of Shinn's explanation, appearing on the other side of the office, lit cigarette in hand.
"Dirk buddy right on time." Shinn gave Dirk a peace sign once he saw him appear. "Candy?" he asked while holding a bowl of candy forward.
"Hey, I managed to get good shoes." Calvin said upon his return. "Not exactly what I wanted, but they're still good." He held up a foot to show off his new red and black shoes. "Actually had to get 'em a half-size too big, cause my right foot's bigger than my left."
Dirk shrugged and took the cigarette out of his mouth for a moment, popping a piece of candy in. He smiled. "Good stuff." He said with a grin. "But back to the subject at hand." He said with an easygoing tone which had a underlying sense of annoyance. "Next time you attempt to send a woman with three newborns into a warzone... don't." He frowned. "I was all prepared to have to explain to Daphne that I had allowed a massacre of her favorite teacher, her three babies, and the rest of you to happen without my intervention." He sighed. "You have no idea what she's like when she's angry... you do not want to be in the way of that."
"Please try to soothe Gale, dear Alistair," Rose sighed, "He won't stop crying. I know he's hungry but I can't feed him at the moment..."
"Well there's no need cause we're all alive." Shinn said before taking out a piece of candy for himself. "Rose was expectangly well, actually more than I expected, I guess a mother can't be understimated."

"Okay." Alistair grabbed a hold of Gale and began to rock him softly on his arms.
