~~YOUR BODY IS SUPPOSED TO GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER YOU HAVE THE BABY, WHAT IS THIS RIDICULOUS NONSENSE---SOMEONE OUGHT TO BE---I BET A MAN SAID THAT, MEN NEVER HAVE TO GIVE BIRTH----~~

You know, life has been much, much more quiet since we've had little Daphne around. Which, if you think about, is rather counter-intuitive being that babies are supposed to cry a lot. But she doesn't! She's actually rather angelic. I, on the other hand, can no longer blame my rampant and out-of-control hormones on the fact that I am carrying another life, or anything besides my own temperamental and out-of-control self. Honestly, I kind of hoped that it was just hormones that were making me out to be so mental, but! I suppose nine months is a long time to go without acting independently of your own id. Or is it ego? Muggle psychology--now that's mental.

Also, I have stretchmarks. ~~GIANT HUGE MAP-OF-THE-UNDERGROUND-AND-EVERY-OTHER-MUGGLE-TRANSPORTATION-ROAD-MAP-SYSTEM-THINGS-EVER SPANNING EVERY INCH OF EVERY~~ These things are battle scars, let me tell you, so no one better be getting any funny ideas.

[CECILIA] I know I've been pestering you since before the baby was born, but things have finally settled down here. Dinner, next weekend? You can rant to me about your life and I can tell you about the ~~bastards~~ idiots who threw bricks through my window![/CECILIA]

[NICK]Your presence is required next weekend. Inquire in for further details.[/NICK]

	If this is some ploy to lure me over and then for Nick to conveniently show up, I will have to say no. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Cecilia Hooke. As your sister, would I ever do something that under-handed and conniving? I can say, with the utmost conviction, that Nicholas will certainly not be conveniently showing up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hand-to-Deity of your choice, Cecilia! I stake my favorite Muggle comic on it. And, also, excellent. ~~And yay!~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)

	greengrasses 2009-01-21 04:49 pm UTC (link)
	She is rather angelic, but I'm kinda scared that this is all just a ploy for when she gets older and manages to convince us to buy her like--a pony or something. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	They are. But not all of them are miniature-sized. [TIM] Soooo next weekend... Cecilia is coming over for dinner. And so is Nick. Or at least, he will be once I tell him about it. I am giving you a choice for whether or not you would like to be present. [/TIM[ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No Adamina-ing me! Those two need to just--be locked at a room until they come out as siblings or they kill each other. And at this point, I am fine with either option. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Adamina greengrasses 2009-01-22 12:15 am UTC (link)
	And! And what if--okay, Nick's not going to kill her, and I doubt Cecilia could over power him but--what if ~~Cecilia gets--~~ they get so mad at you that they stop talking to you, too! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I have spared them both my fiery wrath because I have been trying to sneakily fix things between them, and it has not been working. So if they do get upset me with, I would like a chance to exercise my outside voice.

And if they really do get that upset with me, at least they'll finally agree on something. I mean, I suppose I do run that risk, but... well, there's some adage about playing safe and big risks win big rewards, or something, that I cannot fully remember. But it does definitely prove my point!

	I just don't want you to get hurt. You know how much it hurt when you lost Nick the first time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim greengrasses 2009-01-22 01:06 am UTC (link)
	I know, but I have to try and do something, don't I? I tried to say it wasn't my business before, and that they'd resolve it eventually, but--well-- I just want to try and do something to help them. Family is family. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Tim unhooked 2009-01-22 05:29 am UTC (link)
	You. Assuming you are not a part of your wife's horrible plan to put Cecilia and I in the same room together -- you are not going to be present with your daughter. Clear? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nick greengrasses 2009-01-22 05:32 am UTC (link)
	~~Will you stop giving me orders holy---~~ Daphne and I are going to have a nice father-daughter bonding experience at--Ryan's house, most likely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I am suspicious. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I am luring Cecilia over and you will conveniently show up. What is there to be suspicious of, when little innocent me is concerned? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	...Mina. Mina, Mina. I know you want us to get along, but she hates me. I'm not going to make her hate you, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She won't hate me! And she doesn't hate you either, no matter how much she wants you to think that. Besides, she's grown up now ~~I think~~! All graduated and living on her own, that must have done something to widen her worldview.

I am tired of having my siblings at odds, and for no real reason, so far as I can see. Additionally, there will be at least two buffers there, one being my very young baby. Everyone loves babies, Nicholas Hooke, and mine is damn near irresistible.

Please?

	She doesn't respect Madeleine or the kids, Adamina, and she's made it pretty clear to me that she doesn't want me poking around in her business. I don't think it's a good idea. Young babies like yours shouldn't be around the sort of yelling she and I generate, anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, the very foundation of her life has been built on... not choosing the life you chose to live, so to speak. And as much as I hate to say this of my sister, one step at a time is the most we can hope to ask for, but. She's never going to give Madeleine or Mina, Natalia, and Nick a chance if she doesn't have one with you. And you know subtlety is a lost cause on her. If this doesn't cause her one small change of heart, I promise I will stop trying to meddle ~~as much~~. But let her know she has that small chance with you, won't you?

Tim is under strict instructions to take Daphne and hide if things escalate beyond control. Which they won't.

	You think too highly of Cecilia and me. I will come to dinner, but if this ends up disastrous ~~because there is no other way it could possibly end up~~ then that's it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nick greengrasses 2009-01-22 01:08 am UTC (link)
	~~THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU~~ I do. But you are my siblings, it is sort of my place to do so. And thank you. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nick greengrasses 2009-01-22 01:29 am UTC (link)
	You know, it wouldn't hurt you to have ~~some OPTIMISM, YOU FOO~~ a better outlook on this. Remember the power of positive thinking? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
