"How do you manage to be so cute." Alistair laughed and smiled at the patting. "Come on, let's give you some food."

***

Jared stood up straight and stared at Alice once the door was opened, a blush on his face as he tried to get his words right. "Um...today is valentine's day and...well I wanted to buy something for you cause um...." the blush got a bit deeper now. "Well I love you and I hope that we can have a great valentines day." he nodded his head.

Amber yawned before smiling at Alistair.

"Mama," she beamed happily.

-----------------------------------------------------

"For me?" Alice smiled as she looked at the Teddiursa plush, "It's so cute. Thank you!"

"Yeah we gotta find mama." Alistair nodded his head in agreement before lifting Amber up. "Rose, time for lunch."

***

"You're welcome." Jared nodded his head as his blush began clearing. "I hope you like it."

Ellery had made his way to Dirk's and Zephyr's apartment. Mostly cause, he knew that someone like Dirk would have trouble on Valentine's Day. He walked to the door and knocked.

Dirk stopped stressing about the holiday long enough to let Ellery in. "Howdy." He said with a frown. "I'm screwed." This was all he could say.

Rose walked down as she saw her babies.

"I know," she nodded as she sat down, "Hand Amber and Claudia to me." Gale began sobbing as he looked at Rose.

"Mama..." he cried. Rose sighed as she looked at Alistair.

"Gale and Amber please," she sighed. Claudia smiled as she looked at Alistair.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I think the plush will be great for the twins once they're born," Alice smiled as she looked at it.

"Don't worry I came to help." Ellery nodded his head sagely and walked towards Dirk. "So this is your first valentines in general right?" he asked before sitting down.

***

"I think he really likes you." Alistair nodded his head before handing both Gale and Amber to Rose, only to then lift Claudia and smile. "It'll be your turn soon sweety." he smiled.

***

"Yeah that's what I was thinking." Jared nodded his head and smiled. "Also um...I was wondering if you wanted to do a picnic later tonight."

Dirk gave him a sideways glance before nodding. He did know that it was a terrible idea to piss off the one person that might be able to help him. "No reason for it." He responded. "Not that I even observed the proceedings anyways. And Daphne isn't answering her phone."

"Yes," Rose answered before beginning to feed Amber and Gale. Claudia smiled as she patted Alistair's face.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alice smiled and nodded as she placed her hand on her baby bump.

"I think they'll be excited to eat," she chuckled softly.

"Well it's simple." Ellery nodded his head. "Zephyr isn't too hard to guess, plus she's already head over heels for you." he stated and looked at him. "Flowers and chocolate would be good, since she knows you don't have any experience with this day it should be good."

***

"They like to pat." Alistiar pointed out and raised Claudia up a bit higher.

***

"I think so too." Jared smiled and walked over to her before kissing her. "Especially since we'll all be together."

"That's what the internet said." Dirk frowned. "And if nothing else I like to think I'm creative... granted most of my creativity stems from knowing a near infinite ways to eviscerate someone with nothing but a stack of post-it notes." Dirk stopped, realizing that Ellery had a point. 'Right. Flowers and chocolate sounds good."

"They move around alot when it's time to eat," Alice chuckled.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Claudia giggled while keeping her eyes on Alistair.

"Of course I'm right I lived with her for 14 years." Ellery pointed out and leaned against his seat. "Zephyr's not picky when it comes to gifts as long as she knows how you feel."

***

"Well I guess they're really hungry." Jared chuckled before kneeling down so that he'll be face to fae with her sotmach. He patted it softly, thinking about how his children were slowly growing inside of the bump. "You'll be out pretty soon, and then we can all enjoy our lives together."

***

"Wanna place Claudia." Alistair smiled. "Should we do something tonight Rose?"

"Like what?" Rose asked.

-------------------------------------------

"They have a while to go," Alice answered with a smile.

"Yeah but it'll be soon." Jared nodded his head and beamed. "I wonder when we'll be able to see the gender."

***

"I don't know, maybe dinner or something." Alistair pointed out.

"I'd ask why this whole process was even required considering the fact that she knows that I love her with all my heart and that I'd do anything for her but then I feel like you'd just look at me all funny like I had said something crazy." Dirk just looked amused. "But thanks for the help." He said, clearly genuinely grateful. "I owe you one."
