Exton

Mya flits around as pictures are taken. She helps make the little ones smile for all the pictures, but Tomas is starting to fuss. Raina is taking pictures for everyone but Tomas starts to pull on the collar of his shirt. Mya looks over to Stoney, hoping he can talk to Tomas but he is pulling on the collar of his own shirt. Mya sighs and lands in front of Tomas.

Tomas smiles and tries to grab Mya as she scoots backwards just out of his reach. Raina takes a couple more pictures and hands the camera back to Stoneys sister.

Mya finds Star and flits to her shoulder. Star is watching everyone, a bit overwhelmed with the crowd, but not like she used to be. She stops at the edge of the blanket where the babies are all sitting and laying and watches them for a minute, wanting to remember this so she can paint it. Mera in her turquoise dress, Chloe in gypsy blue, Gracie in the palest of pinks and Tara in lavender. Tomas is in blue pants and white shirt which is fast becoming very annoying to the little boy.

Mya sighs, “Girl babies so pretty. Look like flowers. Boys....” she says as she crosses her arms and rolls her eyes.

Star smiles, “He is sweet too Mya. He just doesnt like his clothes.” Star goes to Tomas and picks him up. “Should we find mama and change your clothes?”

Tomas starts to frantically pull on the collar of his shirt and fuss, sending images of his favorite t-shirt but Star doesnt understand.

Raina approaches, diaper bag in hand, “Look what I have...” as she pulls out the Batman t-shirt Tomas squeals with happiness and almost squirms out of Stars arms.

Laughing at his antics, Raina changes him into the t-shirt and a pair of jeans. When she whistles for Panther Tomas watches the trees intently. When not only Panther appears, but with Tiger, Wolf and Lobo his happiness knows no bounds.

His shrieks and squeals and thoughts he sends get his parents attention. Alise smiles to see him so happy and excited. “Ma souer, I think everyone is ready to leave. We should follow you..”

Raina nods and hands Tomas to his mother. She whispers to Panther, “Koma með the annar og hitta okkur á the hús. Gera ekki láta einhver sjá þú.”*

Alise reassures Tomas the animals will be at the party, Tante Raina has promised...

Jack walks by on his way to his vehicle and rubs Tomas' back in passing. “Hey Buddy, nice shirt!”

Raina is overcome with the giggles which turn into full fledged laughs when she sees the expression on Nicks face...


*Bring the others and meet us at the house. Do not let anyone see you...
