"<Well, as your ever-charming cousin put it... good genetics.>" He smirks, still feeding.

When did - who said that? *Del asks as Apollo finally finishes up.* Thank you. *She finally says to Apollo as she grabs the diaper bag and lays him out on the floor.*

"<Hmmm... Michael? Mike?">" Siren says, as the girls also finish up.

In that case I doubt that is what was actually said but whatever. *Del says finishing up with Apollo and gently putting him back in the pen with toys. She then grabs Aria who finish her bottle and got to work changing her.*

"<I was paraphrasing... whatever.>" Siren says, thinking back at the exact wording, and making a slight face. He sits up and gets to work with Harmony.

*Del finish up with Aria and deposits her into the pen also.* Ok mommy really wants to sleep now so if you could be quiet I would be soo happy, deal? *Del pleads with them from the side of the crib.*

"Want me to put them down...?" Siren says, as he puts Harmony in the pen.

Oh God yes please, *Del says retreating back to bed.* I don't care if it makes us awful parents.

"<Mmmn. Come to bed first.>" Siren says, holding out his arms to her. "<I don't want to have to carry you to bed.>"

But of course. *Del says slipping back between the covers and snuggeling back up next to Siren.*

"<Any...>" a yawn, "<... requests?>"

Know anything by Frank Sinatra? *Del asks knowing it is usually pretty peaceful music.*

He scoffs. "Do I know Sinatra." Then he starts into a nice, soft version of "Cheek to Cheek." When the songs over, he lifts his head to make sure the kids are ok- the've curled up into a nest of three with their respective plushies, and are sleeping easily. Siren then puts his head down and falls back to seleep himself.

*It is hours later and everyone in the room is still peacefully asleep when Del's mother is heard arguing loudly with Del's father.*

Siren feels more than free to sleep through this. Aria, however is doing her fun 'n' freak children of the corn thing, up and staring in the direction of the fight. She whimpers a little, and looks towards her parents bed. Her siblings sleep still.
