"That kid needs to stop drinking" Martel muttered as Nikolai finished eating and fell asleep. She looked down and was shocked when she didn't see her daughter. "Arden? Where..." Noticing the infant a few feet away, Martel placed Nikolai down and went over to her. "How'd you get over here?" she asked, picking the young girl up.

Riza lay her head over Havoc's shoulder. "It's okay... I guess. I'm just worried about what Denny's singing can done to our ears"

Jean grinned at her comment"Yeah, i'm glad my room isn't this close to the bathroom, i barely hear his singing in the morning."He wraps an arm around her waist, pulling her closer.
"So, what did you to do last night?"He asks, resting his head ontop of Riza's.
Denny turned off the water. Dressing into a simple jeans and dark grey shirt, he headed downstairs into the kitchen.

"I waited for you and then played with Black Hayate a while and tried to get some sleep, but I couldn't; so, nothing really." She answered him and sighed. "I'm tired..." Riza patted Black Hayate's head. "We got Ipods here with headphones for not listening Denny in the mornings. And I wanted to tell you that I went to see Dr. Marcoh and he said we are going to have a boy." she said smiling.

YOKI
Yoki looked up from his seat and nearly soiled himself when he saw an angry Scar hovering above him, looking like he was ready to murder him. He shrieked like a little girl and leaped behind the armchair. "H-Hold on! I'm only here because I need a place to stay! Please don't kill me, I'm sorry! I'll do anything!!" he pleaded, cowering in fear.
DANTE
Dante had went to look for Pride shortly after her confrontation with Yoki, planning on having the former Fuhrer pummel his subordinate to a bloody pulp and feed his remains to the dogs. Failing to find him, she decided to deal with Yoki later and went to hers and Martel's dorm.
"Here we are," she cooed at Dahlia, setting her in the crib. "Now let's get you changed."
The alchemist began rummaging through her closet, looking for the box of adorable outfits Envy wore when he was first born. Dahlia watched her mother in interest, snuggling against the bright blue blanket in the crib.

"Well, I'm just going to leave you two alone" Martel said to Jean and Riza. "I need to put these two down for a nap anyway" she muttered, picking up Nikolai and Arden. The boy stirred slightly, but otherwise stayed quiet and his sister giggled softly. "Bandit, come on"
The puppy whined and snuggled closer to her companian, seeming to be fast asleep. Martel rolled her eyes and headed towards her and Dante's dorm. Getting inside, she placed Nikolai in his crib. The child instantly grabbed for a hard plastic toy and began to gnaw it in his sleep. "I swear, you're worse than a puppy" Martel muttered looking at her son. Her attention was caught when Arden, who was looking at Dahlia and giggled softly. She turned around, and walked over to Dante and Dahlia. "She is an adorable baby" Martel complemented, placing Arden on the ground. Arden smiled at the younger infant lying in the crib.

"She is, isn't she?" Dante looked over her shoulder at Martel as she took a small, frilly white gown from the box. She then closed the closet door and headed back over to the crib. Noticing that Dahlia was giggling and reaching out at Arden, she smiled lightly and picked her up. "It seems our girls are rather fond of one another."

Martel smiled softly and watched the two infants smiling at each other. "Kind of ironic, don't you think?" she asked her roommate as she picked her daughter off of the floor. Obviously she was referring to the fact that her and Dante had been enemies for a long time after coming through the Gate.

"'Kind of' is a bit of an understandment, don't you think?" Dante chuckled as she headed over to her bed. Setting Dahlia on it, she smoothed out the gown and set it next to her, then began changing her diaper.

In Riza's room, Bandit had woken up and was making her way to Martel and Dante's dorm. Arden smiled from where Martel had placed her on her bed. "Banddandand" she babbled pointing happily to her pet. The pup tried jumping onto the mattress, almost falling off twice before she managed to get on. Instantly, she knocked her master over, being to lick her face, which resulted in a fit of giggles from the young girl.

When Dahlia saw Bandit jump up on Martel's bed and greet her master with a barrage of kisses, she started laughing and reached out to the dog.
Dante, who was trying to put the gown on her daughter, wondered why she was suddenly so fussy. Looking over her shoulder, she quirked a brow when she saw Bandit, remembering the dog from her confrontation with Yoki. "I wasn't aware you had a dog."
Downstairs, someone rapped impatiently on the front door.

"You can blame Riza and Arden for that" Martel said, shaking her head slightly. "Though, actually, she's Arden's dog. Her names Bandit, and let me tell you, she fits her name".
Tucker went over to the door and openned it. "Hello, how may I help you?" he asked, smiling pleasantly. This world was doing wonders for him.

"There we go," Dante smiled at Dahlia, straightening her gown and picking her up. Noticing that her daughter was still reaching out for Bandit, she walked over to Martel's bed and gently lowered Dahlia onto it to let her play with the dog. Dahlia immediately crawled over to Bandit and licked her face, causing her mother to blink in surprise.
Magrace was standing on the other side of the door, clothed in a loose violet robe decorated with designs of black vines and roses. Holding his right hand was a toddler with curly blonde hair wearing a frilly, sky blue dress and dress shoes. "Good afternoon, sir. Is the Lady Dante in?"

The pup yipped in surprise, but wagged her fluffy tail and licked the young girl back.
"Yes, she's upstairs" Tucker said, pointing out the staircase to the man.
"Excuse me" came a small voice from behind Magrace. It was Kyle MacRustle, holding his bat tightly as usually. Without waiting for a response, he pushed past the young girl, barely even touching her. He instantly headed up the stairs and into Martel and Dante's room.
Arden, who had been giggling as she watched her friend and pet play. However, she quickly turned her attention away when she noticed Kyle. "Hi!" she cried, raising a hand, like she was waving.

The toddler made a face at Kyle when he brushed against her and stuck her tongue out at him, obviously a bit touchy about her personal space. Ignoring his daughter's misbehavior, Magrace gave Tucker a curt nod and lead his daughter up the stairs.
Seeing Kyle come into the room, Dante greeted him with a smile. "Hello, Kyle."
Dahlia, noticing Kyle standing at the door, began crawling over toward him. She would have fallen off the edge of the bed, had it not been for Dante's swift intervention. "I can already tell you're going to be quite a handful, dear," she sighed.

"Good afternoon Madam Dante" Kyle said, with a curt nod. He went over to Nikolai's crib, poking the young boy with the end of his bat through the bars. "You really shouldn't be sleeping. These are probably the best years of your life". Nikolai whined, but he stayed asleep. He did, however, bite onto the metal bat in his sleep.
"Try dealing with two at once" Martel said as she pulled her copy of Carrie from Arden's grasp.

"Or fifteen," Magrace said as he sauntered into the room and greeted Dante with a sweeping bow. His young daughter stayed to the side, wearing a scowl on her face.
Dante turned to face her colleague, and smiled when she saw the toddler. "Magrace! What a pleasant surprise! And who is this, may I ask?"
"Juliette," the occultist answered tersely, regarding his little girl with a cool glance before turning his attention back to Dante. "Anyway, down to business: I have an update on our little project."

"Hi" Arden said from the bed, smiling at both Magrace and Juliette. However, her dog had a different opinion of the man. She was growling at the man, the fur on her back bristling.
"Bandit, shut-up" Martel scolded, though she was a little nervous about what Magrace was saying. Nikolai still had a very light scar on his stomach from when Dante etched the array into his stomach.

Magrace gave both Arden and her faithful pup a nasty look. He could barely tolerate his own children, so needless to say he didn't intent to be pleasant with someone else's. "May I have a word with you in private?" he asked, returning his attention to Dante.
"Of course," Dante nodded. She headed over to the crib and placed Dahlia in it, then turned to Martel. "I'll be back in a moment, sweetheart," she cooed at her baby, causing Magrace to roll his eyes in annoyance.

Arden frowned at the nasty look she was given, but it didn't last long. She looked back at Juliette and said, "Hi" holding out her hand. However, Bandit continued to growl at him. She ran after Dante and Magrace, barking angrily at the tall man the whole time. Martel sighed and tried to calm the pup down, but to no avail. Instead, she decided just to keep an eye on the three infants in the room.
Meanwhile, Kyle was using his gifts to listen to the conversation from the room.
