Something Special

[Guest]

Kyra woke up early this morning with the intention of making a special breakfast for Dre since it was a special day from what she has learned. Making sure she didn't wake up anyone else in the house she went over to Lydia's room and peeked her head in and whispered as she walked in to see if she was still up. She figured Lydia would want to help her with the surprise for their dad.

"Lydia, you awake?"

Moving closer she waited to see if there was a response and if there was none she would gently nudge her until she woke up.

"Hey, thought you would want to help me make breakfast for dad since it's Father's Day."

[Lydia Nyght]

Hopper had heard Kyra come in and walked over to nudge her.

Lydia had been awake in her newly redecorated room, smiling at all the cool new stuff she had. When she heard Kyra, she sat up and smiled. Upon hearing her question, Lydia hopped out of bed in her dragon pj's and dragon slippers and walked over to her sister. "Yes! I would love to help. What are we cooking?"

Lydia looked over to Hopper and grinned."I suppose you want to play guard wolf again. Come on and I'll let you out."

Hopper didn't need anymore of an invitation than that. He walked past both girls, and headed down stairs to the kitchen.

[Guest]

Kyra laughed a little and figured Lydia was up already. She snuck out already and had went to the market to get some meat, fruits and eggs but she had no set plan on what they would make.

"Well I was thinking of some sort of meat and eggs with some potatoes and fresh fruit. How does that sound?"

She smiled seeing Hopper head out and she headed out with them to go downstairs to start their cooking project.

[Lydia Nyght]

Lydia was getting hungry herself as she listened to her sister talk as they went down stairs. How about some hash browns with scrambled eggs, and a fruit bowl."

When they reached the kitchen, Hopper was already at the door. Lydia giggled and opened the door. "Go on boy have fun."

Turning back to her sister. "Okay, where do we start? And how do we keep Daddy out once he smells it so it'll be a surprise."

[Guest]

Kyra laughed a little at that last part cause she didn't think about that part. She thought about it as she got out the pans they needed and the ingredients they were going to use.

"Hmmm, I didn't think that far ahead. Maybe mom will be able to keep him occupied while we work on this. Unless you have some ideas."

A smile crossed her lips as she started cracking the eggs to scramble them and put some ham on the stove that was already heating up so it would start cooking. Once the eggs were seasoned and beaten she put those in a pan and started scrambling them.

"If you want grab the fruit out of the fridge and there is a bowl there for the fruit. The fruit is all cut up if you want to put it together in the bowl."

She continued scrambling the eggs and turned the ham over as they worked together on this surprise.

[Lydia Nyght]

Lydia walked over to the fridge and grabbed the fruit. She walked back to the counter and started arranging the fruit. First a layer of bananas, then strawberries, then kiwi.

She continued layering the fruit in that exact order till the bowl was about full. about half way through Lydia looked at Kyra with a puzzled look. "How's Mom going to do that?"

[Guest]

She was flipping over the ham when she heard the question and stopped her voice a bit flustered when she turned around and her cheeks were a bit redder than before. She didn't know how to answer this question but she would give the best answer she knew.

"Well lets just say mom has her ways."

She turned back around and finished up the eggs and grabbed a bowl and put the eggs in them and a placed the ham in the bowl on the side. She had hoped she wasn't going to have to elaborate on that question.

[Lydia Nyght]

Lydia satisfied with Kyra's answer, shrugged her shoulders and finished layering the fruit bowl. "Okay that's done. Now what can I do to help?"

[Guest]

Looking around to see what else needed to be done and had a thought.

"We need to set the table for breakfast and then go up and get dad and mom for the surprise. Want to grab the forks and napkins? I will get plates and glasses. We have milk and orange juice in there."

She grabbed the plates and glasses and headed off to the dining room to set the table before they brought the food out. Once she set the table she went back in and grabbed the bowl with the eggs and ham and then the bowl with the fruit and set it out on the table. Last one of them would grab the juice and milk and set that out. Looking to make sure everything was set out she looked to Lydia.

"Ready to go up and get him? I have his presents up in my room I will grab those and bring them down."

[Lydia Nyght]

Lydia clapped her hands and giggled. "Yeah lets go get him!!"

She couldn't wait to see Dre's face, and the sparkling excitement in her eyes proved it!!

[Beastie]

He woke up smelling something good, and began to get out of bed. Kyra would be right, Arcadia did have her ways to keep him from leaving the bed. By the Fates, he did enjoy those ways.

What the day was had slipped his mind. Of course it would for most if they were not use to have children around once more. So the "wrestling" match would be finishing up when the girls were on their way up.

[Guest]

Kyra smiled to Lydia and motioned for her to go on up and as she went up Kyra would be right behind her.

"Go ahead and get him I am going to grab the gifts and will meet you back downstairs."

She moved on to her room to grab the stuff she needed and headed back down before Lydia knocked so she could make the finishing touches while he was distracted and would wait down there for them.

[Lydia Nyght]

Now normally any seven year old would run in screaming, and scare the hell out of someone. Lydia, however was not one of them. Once Lydia saw Kyra head down stairs she gently knocked and opened the door at the same time. "Daddy, are you awake?"

She would wait for an answer then pounce!

[Beastie]

He would always wonder how women knew when things were going on because Arcadia would just stop. He looked at her with the 'what the hell?' look, raising a brow as he watched her smirk at him and tell him more later.

he growled and rose, he shifted into his normal form and donned a loincloth. That is when he heard a small voice and saw his door open. He looked to it and said, "Yes I am awake."

[Lydia Nyght]

Lydia near about let out a shriek she was so excited. Walking over to her father with a twinkle in her eye, she hopped on the bed, so she could give him a hug. "Happy Father's Day Daddy!! Come down stairs, there's a surprise for ya!"

Lydia then crawled over to her mom to give her a hug. "Good morning Mama, you have ta come to!!"

[Beastie]

He cocked his head, wondering why she was so excited. Not that he would deny her a hug mind you. Then she told him why she was excited and he grinned. he was a father again.

He grinned and nodded, "Thank you Lydia." He picked her up for a piggy back ride.

"We'll head down so mama can get ready. If she is not down soon, you will just have to come back up and throw some ice on her."

laughing, he headed out of the room and down the steps.

[Guest]

Arcadia gave her daughter a hug and smiled knowing the girls were up to something and enjoying keeping their daddy distracted long enough to finish their surprise. Looking to Dre with that same smirk as before she nudged them.

::That will not be necessary I assure you.::

She waited for them to head out before she got up to get some clothes on and headed down the stairs. They would not have to wait to long for her to arrive behind them. Smiling she looked around seeing what all they had cooked up for him.

[Lydia Nyght]

Lydia giggled at the thought of a piggy back ride. "You're welcome Daddy!!"

Lydia winked at her mom from over her daddy's shoulder. "Hurry up Mama, you'll miss all the fun!!"

Lydia was still giggling as they headed down stairs.

[Beastie]

He carried one of his daughters down the stairs. Enjoying this moment very much, but also thinking as well. When he came down, he saw the breakfast that was was laid out before them.

He saw Kyra and smiled and set down Lydia to give her a hug.

"Thank you," he whispered knowing she knew what all this day made him think off.

[Guest]

She smiled and hugged him back and nodded as she whispered to him.

"You're welcome dad and I love you but I'm hungry so lets sit down and enjoy breakfast before it gets cold."

With that they all sat down and enjoyed the rest of the breakfast and he opened his gifts of metals for the forge a few of the rare ones he has been wanting for some time. They continued to enjoy the day and spent some quality family time together.
