You're helping plenty, sweetie. *Del calls out to Siren from the kitchen over some sauces.*

Mike, Tony, Austin, Antony, and John all move into the living room with Siren.

"You play Poker Siren?" Tony asks.

Mike holds up a pack of cards, John has the tile pieces and Austin hold up a Barney and Friends tape. "For the kids of course." Austin explains.

"Of course." Siren says, an eyebrow raised. "Sure, I'm in." He says, sitting up. "I'm not going to bet the kids though."

Don't worry none of them would let you. *Del says smirking.*

"Yeah umm she is right."
"Totally."

"Ha. Wusses." Siren says. "Alright. Deal me in." They arrange a coffee table to play, with the kids crawling around Siren's feet and lap.

*After an hour or so the babies finally start to get really lethargic and start curling up to sleep. Del looks over and notices and talks to her grandmother and then calls over to Siren.* Honey why don't we get the kids upstairs to my grandmother's room. It'll be quit for them.

"Hnn. Good idea. If we let them fall asleep they'll be like cats. <Alright. Up we go. C'mon jubblies!>" Siren says, picking up Apollo and Aria. "<Time for sleeping. Tomorrow's your first Christmas!>"

Like cats? I doubt that will be them. *Del says as they get up to the bedroom.* I don't want to put them in the bed, Apollo will wake up and jump off the edge, the little rugrat lives for the thrill of the now. *Del looks around and then spots the tub.* I have an idea!

Siren raises an eyebrow. "What are you scheeming, Del?"

Grab the top blanket and pillows from the bed we'll put them in the tub and put the babies in it so they don't get into trouble before we discover they have awoken. *Del explains stifleing a yawn that perfectly mimics Harmony's.*

"You sure they won't accidentially turn on the water trying to climb out?" He eyes the water faucets.

No I am not, but I'll be so nervous about it either I'll have a vision of it happening or I will hear the second the water turns on. *Del says reassureing Siren.*

"I suppose if you're alright with it, then it's ok." He looks at the bed. "You wanna grab the padding, and I'll watch the jubblies?"

Alright. *Del says putting Harmony on the floor in front of Siren and heading to grab up everything she needs. She folds it all and puts it into the tub with the pillows. She then regrabs Harmony and puts her into the tub.* There we go, what do you think guys? Will you be comfortable enough to sleep?

The babies respond by nestling and yawing and being generally really cute. "Looks like they're going to be fine." Siren says, hugging Delphi sideways. "You look like you're ready to join them. Wanna go to bed, or get carried out of their influence?"

Need to help . . . dinner. *Del says trying not to snuggle up and drift off to sleep.*
