"<We do whatever you think is necesscary.>" Siren mutters back. He's the kind of person who will continue with their plans no matter what, just to spite another. He also knows this about himself, so he'll leave the judgement call up to Delphi.

I'll think about it but . . . I don't want to put the kids in any kind of danger. *Del says, honestly.*

"<I'm serious when I say I won't let her hurt them.>" He says cooly. It's a little bit scary, really.

I know, we'll probably be leaving tomorrow then. *Del reassures Siren.* Lets just eat and enjoy today.

"Hmmmn. I'll try." He says, trying for a smile, and almost making it. "I've got the girls." He says, going and picking the two up from where they're sitting, oblivious on the rug.

Well I've obviously got our little man here, don't I Apollo. *Del says grabbing a plate and pausing.* Siren I've got the free hands how about I get you a plate and then one for my self? *She offers.* All u need to do is pick a spot for us to eat, a floor spot gives us more room for the kids.

"Alright. Just be sure to get plenty of napkins or whatever. Kids make for messy floors."

Siren picks a seat on the end of a love seat- a twoseater couch. He puts the kids on the floor, and plays with the girls while he waits for Delphi to return with Apollo and some food.

*Delphi shows up with Apollo and a plate for Siren and then heads back and returns with a plate for her self. She is still very upset and isn't really talking.*

Siren's in pretty much the same boat. He chats and plays with his kids, but bescides that, is pretty much silent. The babies seem to be picking up on the "awkward" are a bit ansey.

*Del eats half of what is on her plate and lets the kids mush through the rest. She sits back on the couch and sighs a little. She was hoping this Christmas would be special in a good way.*

"C'mere." Siren says, pulling her over towards his side of the loveseat, putting both their plates on the side table. He then starts giving her a slight massage. "You ok?"

No but I can deal with this. *Del says taking Siren's hand, She doesn't need a back rub she does want to hold his hand though.*

Siren is more than happy to let her hold her hand, and slips his other arm around her for a hug.

*Del and Siren remain this way till lunch is done and then Del gets up to join the girls with cleaning and getting ready to cook dinner for Christmas tonight.*

"I'd offer to help but..." Siren says, looking at the one baby crawling around his lap, and the other two at his feet.
